Open Borders Biden

“ There ’ s probably never been a time when candidates are so different .
We want law and order .
They don ’ t want law and order .
We want strong , closed borders with people able to come in through merit , through a legal process .
They don ’ t want to have any borders at all .
They ’ re going to rip down the wall , ” President Trump declared .
Trump called out Biden ’ s immigration extremism in the Rose Garden .
Earlier , task forces from the Biden and Sanders campaign @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The co-chair of the immigration task force , Marielena Hincapie , is the executive director of the National Immigration Law Center which is funded , by among others , George Soros .
Other members of the task force included Marisa Franco , who had called for “ dismantling ICE ” , and Javier Valdes , the executive director of Make the Road which supports abolishing ICE and letting illegal aliens vote in state elections .
Make the Road was part of an anti-Trump coalition funded by Soros .
The Biden campaign had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ billionaire with a passion for open borders .
The attack on our immigration system that President Trump called out was the result .
“ And these are actual key elements of the Biden Sanders unity platform , ” President Trump said .
“ Well , basically , as you know , what they ’ re going to do is they ’ re going to rip down the wall .
They ’ re taking it down .
They want to take down the wall , ” President Trump warned in the Rose Garden .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ beyond that , promising that Democrats will “ rescind President Trump ’ s fabricated ‘ National Emergency ' ” and end the wall .
The proposal claims that the wall , which was meant to stop the huge influx of migrants , is “ unnecessary ” .
It ’ s unnecessary because Biden and most Democrats don ’ t believe that America should have borders or immigration restrictions .
The Democrats want to go back to the days when Biden last held office and the function of the border patrol was to hand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them enter America .
The Biden-Sanders plan calls for “ community-based alternatives to detention.
” As President Trump succinctly put it , “ abolish immigration detention , no more detention .
You come in here illegally , no more detention.
” There ’ s no border enforcement without detention .
Just as there ’ s no criminal justice system without detaining criminals .
Once illegal migrants are released , few of them ever show up for a hearing .
Why would they ?
Their whole goal is to enter the country and work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of persecution would stand up at a hearing and they know it .
“ Catch and release is gone .
So many different things have taken place .
We used to catch them , take their name , and release them into our country .
We don ’ t do that anymore .
We now release them back where they came from .
Sometimes we ’ ll bring them back to their country , ” President Trump said .
Catch and release has been tried for decades .
And it ’ s failed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ population is partly due to catch and release policies .
Catch and release policies are why massive illegal alien caravans have headed for our border , knowing that they will be released , instead of detained .
Biden would like to bring back the worst catch and release days of the Obama administration and his call for community detention is just catch and release by another name .
“ Grant mass amnesty .
Everybody gets amnesty , mass amnesty .
Think of that .
And this has created a roadmap to citizenship for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump warned .
“ Democrats believe it is long past time to provide a roadmap to citizenship for the millions of undocumented workers , ” the Biden-Sanders proposal demands .
How many millions is that ?
The Biden-Sanders task force carefully doesn ’ t clarify .
But , as the country staggers under the weight of mass unemployment , mass amnesty is a monumental betrayal of American workers , cutting off their dreams , and denying them any hope of a job .
But Biden doesn ’ t care because what the Democrats @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And if millions of Americans lose their jobs and their homes , that ’ s a small price to pay for millions of illegal alien votes .
“ We will immediately terminate the Trump Administration ’ s discriminatory travel and immigration bans that disproportionately impact Muslim and African people , ” the Biden-Sanders task force vows .
“ End all travel bans including from Jihadist regions , ” President Trump warned against such a foolish and destructive policy .
“ We have a very strong travel ban , and we don ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in and blow up our cities.
” The Democrats not only want them , but the Biden-Sanders task force promises to invite any potential terrorists whose visas were denied because of the travel ban to “ re-apply to come to the United States.
” The Islamic terrorist attacks of tomorrow will be brought to you by Biden ’ s terror amnesty .
If Your Country Has a Crime Problem , Apply for Refugee Status The refugee system was created for people fleeing oppression , not bad neighborhoods .
But the Biden-Sanders task force @ @ @ @ @ @ @ policy of allowing asylum requests by people complaining about gang violence .
The so-called “ victims ” of gang violence are often involved in it and allowing them to apply for asylum has helped boost the gang violence problem in America .
And gang violence is the main cause of gun violence in America .
Mass immigration from gang countries , like El Salvador , just like mass migration from Jihadist countries , like Syria and Iraq , brings gang violence to America .
The Democrats claim that they want to end gun @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t work in Europe and it won ’ t work here .
The best way to stop gun violence is to cut off the flow of new gang members to America by ending open borders asylum .
Instead , Biden is telling Americans that if they like their MS-13 beheadings , they can keep them .
“ They want government healthcare for all illegal aliens .
This is part of their plan .
I ’ m not making this up .
This is all down in their plan from last week , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ indeed , the Biden-Sanders plan calls for expanding ObamaCare to DACA illegal aliens and rushing new immigrants into Medicaid without a waiting period .
“ Sign new immigrants up for welfare immediately .
This is Joe Biden .
So they walk off and they come in and they put a foot into our land , and we sign up new immigrants up for welfare .
We sign them up immediately .
They get welfare benefits .
United States citizens .
Don ’ t get what they ’ re looking to give illegal immigrants @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump expressed his frustration .
“ Sign up .
It ’ s hard to believe I ’ m even reading that , new immigrants for welfare immediately .
Not to mention the cost of this which is incalculable .
The cost of this is so crazy.
” The Biden-Sanders plan claims that illegal aliens need free health care because of the Wuhan Virus .
But , as President Trump points out , Democrat support for open borders is what really spread the virus .
“ The wall was so timely because it stopped @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Mexico .
If we had that , we would be in trouble like you wouldn ’ t believe , ” President Trump said .
Come to America , Get on Welfare “ End requirement for immigrant self-sufficiency and maximize their welfare .
Now , this is us writing this .
Who ’ s not coming to the United States ?
Every person from South America is going to pour in , ” President Trump fumed .
The Biden-Sanders plan not only wants quick Medicaid for immigrants , but promises to “ immediately @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Administration ’ s un-American immigrant wealth test.
” Determining whether new immigrants can support themselves , or whether they will become a burden on taxpayers , is not a wealth test and it ’ s not un-American .
It ’ s how America ’ s immigration system was always meant to work .
The Biden-Sanders plan will force the citizens of a country already struggling with the economic havoc of the pandemic lockdowns and the Black Lives Matter riots to shoulder the burden of welfare migrants .
“ Every person from other countries @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pouring in .
End requirement , think of that , for immigrant self-sufficiency and remember to maximize welfare .
So we give it a maximum .
Then we have massively expand immigration during a global pandemic , taking jobs from unemployed Americans , ” President Trump pointed out .
Are You an Illegal Alien ?
Welcome Back to America .
The Biden-Sanders plan really rolls out the red carpet for illegal aliens who had been banned from returning to America .
“ The task force calls for eliminating “ immigration barriers , such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and remove the 10-year waiting period for waivers to the permanent bars.
” The 3- and 10-year bans are for illegal aliens who were living in the United States .
The Biden-Sanders plan would make it very easy for those illegal aliens to emigrate to the United States if they have family members already living here .
“ Vastly expand low-skilled immigration to the United States .
So they want a lot of people come in with low skills , ” President Trump said .
As the president had already pointed out , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had lost their jobs because of the pandemic lockdowns .
Bringing in large numbers of low-skilled workers would cripple the American workforce .
But the Biden-Sanders plan doubles down on the Democrat commitment to chain migration , declaring that it will build immigration policy around “ family unity ” .
Protecting Illegal Aliens and Their Employers From the Law The Biden-Sanders plan calls for making every place illegal aliens work into a “ sanctuary ” workplace .
The task force promises to “ end workplace and community raids ” .
The proposal would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President Trump said , “ abolish immigration enforcement against illegal workers .
Think of that.
” The victims of this policy will be the American workers and unemployed Americans who won ’ t even have a shot because their jobs will be taken by illegal aliens who will be protected from workplace raids .
The plan sends employers of illegal aliens the message that Joe Biden has their back .
As President Trump said , “ This is Biden .
Biden ’ s gone radical left.
” The Biden-Sanders open borders , amnesty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It incorporates proposals from Soros grantees and Sanders allies that would end America as an independent nation .
These proposals would break the back of American workers and reduce much of the population to welfare status .
They represent the worst attack on the American working class in history .
President Trump is now under attack for condemning the Biden-Sanders plan in the Rose Garden .
Meanwhile , the Democrats , who claim to care about workers , refuse to condemn Biden ’ s descent into a radical extremism that puts illegal @ @ @ @ @ @ @

“There’s probably never been a time when candidates are so different. We want law and order. They don’t want law and order. We want strong, closed borders with people able to come in through merit, through a legal process. They don’t want to have any borders at all. They’re going to rip down the wall,” President Trump declared.
Trump called out Biden’s immigration extremism in the Rose Garden. Earlier, task forces from the Biden and Sanders campaign had released the Biden-Sanders unity policy recommendations.
The co-chair of the immigration task force, Marielena Hincapie, is the executive director of the National Immigration Law Center which is funded, by among others, George Soros. Other members of the task force included Marisa Franco, who had called for “dismantling ICE”, and Javier Valdes, the executive director of Make the Road which supports abolishing ICE and letting illegal aliens vote in state elections.
Make the Road was part of an anti-Trump coalition funded by Soros.
The Biden campaign had outsourced its policymaking to a radical Hungarian billionaire with a passion for open borders. The attack on our immigration system that President Trump called out was the result.
“And these are actual key elements of the Biden Sanders unity platform,” President Trump said.
Open Borders
“Well, basically, as you know, what they’re going to do is they’re going to rip down the wall. They’re taking it down. They want to take down the wall,” President Trump warned in the Rose Garden.
The Biden-Sanders task force proposal actually goes beyond that, promising that Democrats will “rescind President Trump’s fabricated ‘National Emergency'” and end the wall. The proposal claims that the wall, which was meant to stop the huge influx of migrants, is “unnecessary”. It’s unnecessary because Biden and most Democrats don’t believe that America should have borders or immigration restrictions.
The Democrats want to go back to the days when Biden last held office and the function of the border patrol was to hand out snacks to illegal migrants and help them enter America.
Catch and Release
The Biden-Sanders plan calls for “community-based alternatives to detention.”
As President Trump succinctly put it, “abolish immigration detention, no more detention. You come in here illegally, no more detention.”
There’s no border enforcement without detention. Just as there’s no criminal justice system without detaining criminals. Once illegal migrants are released, few of them ever show up for a hearing. Why would they? Their whole goal is to enter the country and work here illegally. Few of their claims of persecution would stand up at a hearing and they know it.
“Catch and release is gone. So many different things have taken place. We used to catch them, take their name, and release them into our country. We don’t do that anymore. We now release them back where they came from. Sometimes we’ll bring them back to their country,” President Trump said.
Catch and release has been tried for decades. And it’s failed.
America’s huge illegal alien population is partly due to catch and release policies. Catch and release policies are why massive illegal alien caravans have headed for our border, knowing that they will be released, instead of detained. Biden would like to bring back the worst catch and release days of the Obama administration and his call for community detention is just catch and release by another name.
Mass Illegal Alien Amnesty
“Grant mass amnesty. Everybody gets amnesty, mass amnesty. Think of that. And this has created a roadmap to citizenship for massive, massive numbers,” President Trump warned.
“Democrats believe it is long past time to provide a roadmap to citizenship for the millions of undocumented workers,” the Biden-Sanders proposal demands.
How many millions is that? The Biden-Sanders task force carefully doesn’t clarify.
But, as the country staggers under the weight of mass unemployment, mass amnesty is a monumental betrayal of American workers, cutting off their dreams, and denying them any hope of a job.
But Biden doesn’t care because what the Democrats really want are illegal alien votes. And if millions of Americans lose their jobs and their homes, that’s a small price to pay for millions of illegal alien votes.
Jihadis Welcome
“We will immediately terminate the Trump Administration’s discriminatory travel and immigration bans that disproportionately impact Muslim and African people,” the Biden-Sanders task force vows.
“End all travel bans including from Jihadist regions,” President Trump warned against such a foolish and destructive policy. “We have a very strong travel ban, and we don’t want people that are going to come in and blow up our cities.”
The Democrats not only want them, but the Biden-Sanders task force promises to invite any potential terrorists whose visas were denied because of the travel ban to “re-apply to come to the United States.”
The Islamic terrorist attacks of tomorrow will be brought to you by Biden’s terror amnesty.
If Your Country Has a Crime Problem, Apply for Refugee Status
The refugee system was created for people fleeing oppression, not bad neighborhoods. But the Biden-Sanders task force promises to go back to the broken policy of allowing asylum requests by people complaining about gang violence. The so-called “victims” of gang violence are often involved in it and allowing them to apply for asylum has helped boost the gang violence problem in America.
And gang violence is the main cause of gun violence in America.
Mass immigration from gang countries, like El Salvador, just like mass migration from Jihadist countries, like Syria and Iraq, brings gang violence to America. The Democrats claim that they want to end gun violence by banning guns. That didn’t work in Europe and it won’t work here. The best way to stop gun violence is to cut off the flow of new gang members to America by ending open borders asylum.
Instead, Biden is telling Americans that if they like their MS-13 beheadings, they can keep them.
Free Health Care for Illegal Aliens
“They want government healthcare for all illegal aliens. This is part of their plan. I’m not making this up. This is all down in their plan from last week,” President Trump said.
And, indeed, the Biden-Sanders plan calls for expanding ObamaCare to DACA illegal aliens and rushing new immigrants into Medicaid without a waiting period.
“Sign new immigrants up for welfare immediately. This is Joe Biden. So they walk off and they come in and they put a foot into our land, and we sign up new immigrants up for welfare. We sign them up immediately. They get welfare benefits. United States citizens. Don’t get what they’re looking to give illegal immigrants.

Not to mention the cost of this which is incalculable. The cost of this is so crazy.”
The Biden-Sanders plan claims that illegal aliens need free health care because of the Wuhan Virus.
But, as President Trump points out, Democrat support for open borders is what really spread the virus.
“The wall was so timely because it stopped people coming in from heavily infected areas of Mexico. If we had that, we would be in trouble like you wouldn’t believe,” President Trump said.
Come to America, Get on Welfare
“End requirement for immigrant self-sufficiency and maximize their welfare. Now, this is us writing this. Who’s not coming to the United States? Every person from South America is going to pour in,” President Trump fumed.
The Biden-Sanders plan not only wants quick Medicaid for immigrants, but promises to “immediately halt enforcement of and rescind the Trump Administration’s un-American immigrant wealth test.”
Determining whether new immigrants can support themselves, or whether they will become a burden on taxpayers, is not a wealth test and it’s not un-American.
It’s how America’s immigration system was always meant to work.
The Biden-Sanders plan will force the citizens of a country already struggling with the economic havoc of the pandemic lockdowns and the Black Lives Matter riots to shoulder the burden of welfare migrants.
“Every person from other countries, they’re going to be pouring in. End requirement, think of that, for immigrant self-sufficiency and remember to maximize welfare. So we give it a maximum. Then we have massively expand immigration during a global pandemic, taking jobs from unemployed Americans,” President Trump pointed out.
Are You an Illegal Alien? Welcome Back to America.
The Biden-Sanders plan really rolls out the red carpet for illegal aliens who had been banned from returning to America.
“The task force calls for eliminating “immigration barriers, such as the 3- and 10-year bars, and remove the 10-year waiting period for waivers to the permanent bars.”
The 3- and 10-year bans are for illegal aliens who were living in the United States.
The Biden-Sanders plan would make it very easy for those illegal aliens to emigrate to the United States if they have family members already living here.
Chain Migration Puts American Taxpayers in Chains
“Vastly expand low-skilled immigration to the United States. So they want a lot of people come in with low skills,” President Trump said.
As the president had already pointed out, quite a lot of American low-skilled workers had lost their jobs because of the pandemic lockdowns. Bringing in large numbers of low-skilled workers would cripple the American workforce.
Especially the African-American workforce.
But the Biden-Sanders plan doubles down on the Democrat commitment to chain migration, declaring that it will build immigration policy around “family unity”.
Chain migration means lots of low-skilled and welfare immigrants flooding America.
Protecting Illegal Aliens and Their Employers From the Law
The Biden-Sanders plan calls for making every place illegal aliens work into a “sanctuary” workplace.
The task force promises to “end workplace and community raids”.
The proposal would effectively end domestic immigration enforcement. As President Trump said, “abolish immigration enforcement against illegal workers. Think of that.”
The victims of this policy will be the American workers and unemployed Americans who won’t even have a shot because their jobs will be taken by illegal aliens who will be protected from workplace raids.
The plan sends employers of illegal aliens the message that Joe Biden has their back.
A Radical Attack on American Workers
As President Trump said, “This is Biden. Biden’s gone radical left.”
The Biden-Sanders open borders, amnesty, and welfare plan goes beyond Obama. It incorporates proposals from Soros grantees and Sanders allies that would end America as an independent nation.
These proposals would break the back of American workers and reduce much of the population to welfare status. They represent the worst attack on the American working class in history.
President Trump is now under attack for condemning the Biden-Sanders plan in the Rose Garden. Meanwhile, the Democrats, who claim to care about workers, refuse to condemn Biden’s descent into a radical extremism that puts illegal aliens first and American workers last.

Bill Gates Predicts Corona Vaccination Will Produce 700,000 Victims – Why Is There No Talk Of Social Distancing From Vaccines?

In an interview with CNBC , former CEO of Microsoft Bill Gates , who thinks he knows vaccines and has invested a ton of money in them to reap a profit , said that he expects at least 700,000 victims from a corona vaccination .
No , seriously , he said it on live television .
In the interview , Gates says that for every 10,000 people , one permanent vaccination damage would occur and he expects no less than 700,000 victims .
Near the end Gates says , “ We have … you know … one in ten thousand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s … you know … way more .
Seven hundred thousand … ah … you know … people who will suffer from that .
So , really understanding the safety at gigantic scale across all age ranges – you know – pregnant , male , female , undernourished and existing comorbidities .
It ’ s very , very hard and that actual decision of ‚OK , let ’ s go and give this vaccine to the entire world… ah … governments will have to be involved because there will be some risk @ @ @ @ @ @ @ … can be decided on.
” He expects 700,000 victims .
And he ’ s the one who is massively promoting this vaccination , whereby „ promoting “ is extremely euphemistic .
So one can speculate about even more victims .
These numbers are much higher than the actual number of victims caused by the corona virus , whether dead by or with Corona or „ other victims “ .
Regardless of whether one takes the increased numbers of the RKI or numbers represented by numerous experts ( 2 ) .
According to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccination victims for Germany with its 83 million inhabitants .
He calls this – death or permanent disability – „ side effects “ .
The responsibility and costs of compensation ( as if it were so easy to compensate ) for the vaccination campaigns should be carried by the states .
Bill Gates has obviously learned to protect himself better ( 3-8 ) .
The price for this is the naming of presumed numbers of victims , but multi-billionaire Gates is probably quite sure that he will not be blamed by the media @ @ @ @ @ @ @ influencing the current situation… this sadistic criminal that can ’ t even get his Windows product to run flawlessly .
Yet , he wants to inject the world with God knows what , which has never been proven to be safe nor effective in preventing disease , but it has been proven to harm millions of people worldwide .

Take a look.
Near the end Gates says, “We have … you know … one in ten thousand … ah … side effects. That’s … you know … way more. Seven hundred thousand … ah … you know … people who will suffer from that. So, really understanding the safety at gigantic scale across all age ranges – you know – pregnant, male, female, undernourished and existing comorbidities. It’s very, very hard and that actual decision of ‚OK, let’s go and give this vaccine to the entire world… ah … governments will have to be involved because there will be some risk and indemnification needed before that … ah … can be decided on.”
Jens Bernet writes (translated from German):
He expects 700,000 victims. And he’s the one who is massively promoting this vaccination, whereby „promoting“ is extremely euphemistic. So one can speculate about even more victims. These numbers are much higher than the actual number of victims caused by the corona virus, whether dead by or with Corona or „other victims“. Regardless of whether one takes the increased numbers of the RKI or numbers represented by numerous experts (2). According to Gates, this would mean 8,300 corona vaccination victims for Germany with its 83 million inhabitants. He calls this – death or permanent disability – „side effects“.
The responsibility and costs of compensation (as if it were so easy to compensate) for the vaccination campaigns should be carried by the states. Bill Gates has obviously learned to protect himself better (3-8). The price for this is the naming of presumed numbers of victims, but multi-billionaire Gates is probably quite sure that he will not be blamed by the media and politicians.
This is what is influencing the current situation… this sadistic criminal that can’t even get his Windows product to run flawlessly. Yet, he wants to inject the world with God knows what, which has never been proven to be safe nor effective in preventing disease, but it has been proven to harm millions of people worldwide.
Save a life, let’s deal some justice to Bill Gates.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-07-15--Trump Admin Caves – Foreigners Taking Online-Only Classes Won’t Be Deported

Well , we see it once again .
This administration ’ s bark is worse than its bite .
The Trump administration backed down from a promise to deport foreign college students enrolled in online classes rather than in-person classes this fall .
The administration announced last week that international students must transfer or leave the country if their school classes are to be held only online .
This was to restore the regulation that already existed prior to being suspended by DHS in March as an accommodation for the COVID-19 outbreak .
The move provoked immediate backlash and lawsuits @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Department of Homeland Security ( DHS ) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) .
The lawsuit was supported by colleges , municipalities , and tech companies .
Students from the University of California – Berkeley went so far as to plan to create a fake one-person course with the sole aim of undermining the regulation and helping foreign students avoid deportation .
A Facebook post circulated by students made clear that the course would serve no educational purpose for the student body at large and would be “ ONLY for students @ @ @ @ @ @ @ component to remain in the United States.
” A court date was set for Tuesday , but Judge Allison Burroughs of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts announced instead that the universities had reached an agreement with both ICE and DHS .
“ The Court was informed by the parties that they have come to a resolution to the combined temporary restraining order/preliminary injunction motions , ” read the court docket .
“ The Government has agreed to rescind the July 6 , 2020 Policy Directive and the July 7 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ agreed to rescind their implementation.
” Dan Stein , resident of the Federation for American Immigration Reform ( FAIR ) , blasted the Trump administration for walking back from its original decision : U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) made the correct initial determination to suspend the visas of students enrolled in universities offering only online education .
International students are not immigrants , they are temporary visitors .
There is no legal or practical reason justifying their continued presence in the United States if they were enrolled in online-only education @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for students enrolled in schools utilizing hybrid or traditional approaches to reopening schools in the fall while protecting the F-1 and M-1 program from more fraud than already exists .
This , unfortunately , is yet another example of the administration caving to the pressure of the business lobby and open borders advocates who continue crafting the narrative that international students are somehow anything more than temporary visitors .
What many media outlets fail to point out is that the face-to-face policy which the administration attempted to re-implement was already the norm prior @ @ @ @ @ @ @ due to the coronavirus .
As the writer points out , “ This could open up a major can of worms in which new foreigners are able to get work permits in the United States by paying tuition fees to online-only colleges and applying to the Optional Practical Training ( OPT ) and the Curricular Practical Training ( CPT ) programs.
” Without a face-to-face rule , many additional foreigners will be able to get work permits by paying tuition fees to online-only colleges .
“ If it is 100 percent online , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ class … we ’ re getting into potential labor trafficking , ” said Kevin Lynn , founder of U.S. Tech Workers .
“ That ’ s why we have to get rid of OPT , ” he said .
Currently , the universities make $ 40 billion from foreign students seeking work permits — and the Fortune 500 earn many additional billions as foreign students push down wages in entry-level jobs .
But the OPT program is threatened by President Donald Trump , who issued curbs on June 22 and directed his deputies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sued the government because they want to preserve their revenues , said Ken Cuccinelli , the acting deputy secretary of homeland defense “ What ’ s really driving them is the moolah — that ’ s their big interest , ” Cuccinelli told Sirius XM ’ s Breitbart News Daily host Alex Marlow .
“ Don ’ t forget the one big thing — the old ‘ Follow the Money , ” he said July 9 .
“ They ’ re making big , big money.
” …Nationwide , roughly 500,000 OPT and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to take jobs sought by the American graduates of Harvard , MIT , and many additional colleges .
Fewer than 20,000 of the OPT work permits go to foreigners who have earned PhD.s .
Some foreign students win jobs at elite companies , often with the help of co-ethnic hiring managers .
The federal data shows that in 2018 , Amazon used the OPT program to hire 2,911 foreigners , Intel hired 1,348 foreigners , Google hired 1,193 , and Microsft hired 867 .
Obviously , big corporations enjoy hiring foreigners over Americans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and benefits protections and they aren ’ t as likely to quit their jobs as Americans are due to the fact that they may lose their visas .
We know it ’ s about one thing though really… money .
Corrupt politicians and criminal corporations will be the downfall of the US .

Well, we see it once again. This administration’s bark is worse than its bite. The Trump administration backed down from a promise to deport foreign college students enrolled in online classes rather than in-person classes this fall.
The New American reports:
The administration announced last week that international students must transfer or leave the country if their school classes are to be held only online. This was to restore the regulation that already existed prior to being suspended by DHS in March as an accommodation for the COVID-19 outbreak.
The move provoked immediate backlash and lawsuits from Harvard and MIT against both the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The lawsuit was supported by colleges, municipalities, and tech companies.
Students from the University of California – Berkeley went so far as to plan to create a fake one-person course with the sole aim of undermining the regulation and helping foreign students avoid deportation.
A Facebook post circulated by students made clear that the course would serve no educational purpose for the student body at large and would be “ONLY for students who are international and need a physical component to remain in the United States.”
A court date was set for Tuesday, but Judge Allison Burroughs of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts announced instead that the universities had reached an agreement with both ICE and DHS.
“The Court was informed by the parties that they have come to a resolution to the combined temporary restraining order/preliminary injunction motions,” read the court docket. “The Government has agreed to rescind the July 6, 2020 Policy Directive and the July 7, 2020 FAQ, and has also agreed to rescind their implementation.”

The initial rule already provided flexibility for students enrolled in schools utilizing hybrid or traditional approaches to reopening schools in the fall while protecting the F-1 and M-1 program from more fraud than already exists.

A poll shows the obvious: Voters strongly oppose the sale of work permits to migrants by the universities' #OPT program.
They'll dislike it more when they see how OPT shoves them & their college-grad kids out of Fortune 500 jobs & the middle class. #H1Bhttps://t.co/LFKmMJQRzX — Neil Munro (@NeilMunroDC) July 13, 2020
…Nationwide, roughly 500,000 OPT and CPT work permits are used by foreigners to take jobs sought by the American graduates of Harvard, MIT, and many additional colleges.
Fewer than 20,000 of the OPT work permits go to foreigners who have earned PhD.s.
Some foreign students win jobs at elite companies, often with the help of co-ethnic hiring managers. The federal data shows that in 2018, Amazon used the OPT program to hire 2,911 foreigners, Intel hired 1,348 foreigners, Google hired 1,193, and Microsft hired 867.
Obviously, big corporations enjoy hiring foreigners over Americans for several reasons, including lower wages and benefits protections and they aren’t as likely to quit their jobs as Americans are due to the fact that they may lose their visas.
We know it’s about one thing though really… money. Corrupt politicians and criminal corporations will be the downfall of the US.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-07-16--California:  City Ends Police Traffic Stops – Will Cut Police Budget In Half

Berkeley , CA — As TFTP reported earlier this week , the City of Berkeley , California proposed ending police traffic enforcement .
Then , on Wednesday , they did it .
The move comes after claims that police officers all too often escalate minor traffic stops into deadly situations .
These claims are well founded .
After debating into the early hours of Wednesday morning , the Berkeley City Council approved this most unprecedented move .
The council approved Mayor Jesse Arreguin ’ s omnibus measure , which includes elements , such as creating a Department of Transportation that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ rather than utilize Berkeley police officers , hire a consultant to analyze police calls and responses , and determine which calls can be answered by non-police officers , as well as setting a goal to reduce the police budget by 50 % .
The Berkeley City Council had recently approved a city budget that decreased police department spending by $ 9.2 million , or about 12 % of the police budget .
The move also now allocated $ 100,000 from the general fund to analyze and develop a specialized care unit to handle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ auditor to analyze police calls and responses .
“ Most traffic stops don ’ t really warrant a police officer , ” said Darrell Owens , the co-executive of East Bay for Everyone , a housing and traffic non-profit .
He helped pitch the new , one-year plan to Berkeley City Council .
According to ABC 7 , he says ideally the city would take money away from Berkeley PD to fund a new department .
“ A minor traffic violation should not have resulted in the murder of a black or brown @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we can also re-examine the nature of punitive law enforcement and broken windows policing that makes traffic enforcement so deadly to begin with.
” The officials who proposed ending police traffic enforcement dispelled any preconceived notions that this would allow dangerous criminals and drunks to rule the roads .
“ We don ’ t want to inhibit apprehending dangerous criminals or drunk drivers .
That is not the intent , ” said Berkeley City councilmember , Lori Droste .
Now we shall see how it plays out .
Without police officers constantly patrolling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for window tint , seat belt violations , and license plate lights , they can likely devote those man hours to solving real crimes like rapes and murders .
Though it is a step in the right direction , this move stops short of actually ending the practice of extorting citizens .
The traffic cops will likely be replaced with a civilian enforcement arm to monitor traffic .
Berkeley ’ s City Council will now create a Department of Transportation and use employees in that department to make traffic stops instead of Berkeley @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when I ’ m in my car many times and there ’ s no straight answer for it… and you know what it ’ s about , it ’ s about skin color , ” said Berkeley resident , Tim Davis on Monday .
“ I don ’ t think police should do everything in the City.

Berkeley, CA — As TFTP reported earlier this week, the City of Berkeley, California proposed ending police traffic enforcement. Then, on Wednesday, they did it.
The move comes after claims that police officers all too often escalate minor traffic stops into deadly situations. These claims are well founded.
After debating into the early hours of Wednesday morning, the Berkeley City Council approved this most unprecedented move.
According to KTVU:
The council approved Mayor Jesse Arreguin’s omnibus measure, which includes elements, such as creating a Department of Transportation that will make and enforce traffic stops, rather than utilize Berkeley police officers, hire a consultant to analyze police calls and responses, and determine which calls can be answered by non-police officers, as well as setting a goal to reduce the police budget by 50%. The Berkeley City Council had recently approved a city budget that decreased police department spending by $9.2 million, or about 12% of the police budget. The move also now allocated $100,000 from the general fund to analyze and develop a specialized care unit to handle these calls and $160,000 for an auditor to analyze police calls and responses.
“Most traffic stops don’t really warrant a police officer,” said Darrell Owens, the co-executive of East Bay for Everyone, a housing and traffic non-profit. He helped pitch the new, one-year plan to Berkeley City Council. According to ABC 7, he says ideally the city would take money away from Berkeley PD to fund a new department.
“A minor traffic violation should not have resulted in the murder of a black or brown body, but at the same time we can also re-examine the nature of punitive law enforcement and broken windows policing that makes traffic enforcement so deadly to begin with.”
The officials who proposed ending police traffic enforcement dispelled any preconceived notions that this would allow dangerous criminals and drunks to rule the roads.
“We don’t want to inhibit apprehending dangerous criminals or drunk drivers. That is not the intent,” said Berkeley City councilmember, Lori Droste.
Now we shall see how it plays out. Without police officers constantly patrolling the streets to cite and arrest people for window tint, seat belt violations, and license plate lights, they can likely devote those man hours to solving real crimes like rapes and murders.
Though it is a step in the right direction, this move stops short of actually ending the practice of extorting citizens. The traffic cops will likely be replaced with a civilian enforcement arm to monitor traffic.
Berkeley’s City Council will now create a Department of Transportation and use employees in that department to make traffic stops instead of Berkeley Police officers.
“I get stopped when I’m in my car many times and there’s no straight answer for it… and you know what it’s about, it’s about skin color,” said Berkeley resident, Tim Davis on Monday. “I don’t think police should do everything in the City.”

As the 2014 death of Mike Brown in Ferguson exposed, in 2013, African-Americans accounted for 86 percent of traffic stops, while making up only 63 percent of Ferguson’s population.
For those too poor to pay their tickets, routine traffic stops in Ferguson ended up in repeated imprisonment due to mounting fines. Ferguson was running a de facto debtors’ prison.
Traffic revenue collection, persecution of the poor, and debtor’s prisons take place in every county, in every city, across every state. This institutionalized cruelty is little more than a day’s work for the millions of bureaucrats involved in the racket.
Sadly, until this system of wealth extraction is defunded or brought to a halt through radical policy changes like the one in Berkeley or ending the drug war, cases of cops preying on the poor will continue at an ever increasing rate until the whole country is one big prison — or, burned to the ground.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-07-16--The Evangelical Church Is Helping To Create Another Nation Of Slaves

The story is told that soon after the adoption of our U.S. Constitution , a lady approached Benjamin Franklin and asked him , “ Sir , what kind of government have you given us ?
” His reply : “ A republic , Madam , if you can keep it.
” Our founders had lived through the tyranny of a monarchy and had fought a long and bloody war for independence .
Their foremost desire was to create a form of civil government that would protect the Natural liberties that they had fought so hard to procure .
That form @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of Liberty protections built into it .
That form of government was a constitutional republic— “ a nation of laws , not men.
” ( John Adams ) Nothing made by man can ever be perfect , but the combined Declaration of Independence , U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights form the most perfect set of founding civil documents in human history .
Checks and balances protecting civil Liberty are engrained throughout the laws of this republic .
From the checks and balances of competing branches of the federal government to the laws @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the checks and balances of State and county governments to the independent authority of sheriffs , juries , the voting booth and , as a last resort , an armed civilian populace—each charged with the duty of protecting our Natural and civil rights—our liberties were as protected as any form of government could make them .
But as our founders repeatedly warned , the protections of Liberty built into our constitutional republic depended on the honesty , integrity , commitment and courage of the citizenry to endure “ the fatigue of supporting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Thomas Paine ) Hence , Franklin ’ s warning : “ If you can keep it.
” Today ’ s Marxists would have us believe that the United States invented slavery and was the worst practitioner of it .
That is pure propaganda .
Slavery is as old as mankind ’ s earliest recorded manuscripts .
Along with the inhabitants of two ancient cities , Abram ’ s nephew , Lot , was taken into slavery .
And he would doubtless have remained a slave had Abram not taken his armed private militia @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those victims—an act that was personally blessed by an Old Testament appearance of Jesus Christ , by the way .
( Genesis 14 ) Joseph was sold into slavery by his own brothers .
The children of Israel were taken into slavery by the Egyptians .
Empires throughout the pre-Christian era bought and sold slaves at will .
The Phoenicians , Chaldeans , Assyrians , Babylonians , Canaanites , Moabites , Philistines , Greeks , Romans , Asians , Africans , Vikings and the British Empire ALL practiced slavery—and the victims of this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ALL races .
In fact , slavery was rarely about race ; it was almost always about power , wealth and war .
At one point , the city of Athens had 20,000 freemen and 400,000 slaves .
By the end of the 1st century B.C .
( at the beginning of the Roman Empire ) , about 40 % of Italy ’ s population were slaves .
During the peak of the Roman Empire , 25 % of the population of the city of Rome were slaves .
A rich man in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ slaves .
The Roman emperor typically owned over 25,000 slaves .
The British Empire bought and sold slaves all over the world .
It was not the American colonists that instituted slavery here ; it was Great Britain .
And don ’ t forget : The Indians that lived in North America practiced slavery a long time before the first white man ever showed up .
From the earliest days of Colonial America , slavery was opposed by the colonists .
But the British global economy depended on the slave trade .
Never @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( and everywhere else ) were subjected to the brute power and will of England .
Blaming the American colonists for slavery is tantamount to future historians blaming each of us for these unconstitutional and barbaric wars of aggression for Israel all over the Middle East—wars that have killed millions of innocent people .
There are millions of American citizens ( including me ) and soldiers ( including thousands who have actually fought in these wars ) who despise and loathe these wars .
But these ghastly wars are fought in our name @ @ @ @ @ @ @ less than 1 % owned slaves .
Both Thomas J .
“ Stonewall ” Jackson and Robert E. Lee emphatically supported the abolition of slavery .
In fact , Lee called slavery “ a moral and political evil.
” He also said “ the best men in the South ” opposed it and welcomed its demise .
Jackson said he wished to see “ the shackles struck from every slave.
” And I will remind you that not a single slave ship flew the Stars and Bars ; they flew the Union Jack @ @ @ @ @ @ @ black southerners fought side by side with white southerners in the War of Northern Aggression .
( In the North , blacks were conscripted and fought in segregated units . )
To think that Lee and Jackson ( and the vast majority of Confederate soldiers ) would fight and die to preserve an institution they considered evil and abhorrent—and that they were already working to dismantle—is the height of absurdity .
It is equally repugnant to impugn and denigrate the memory of these remarkable Christian gentlemen .
Likewise , to think that Washington @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s founders were trying to institutionalize slavery is the height of historical revisionism .
No !
They were trying to END slavery .
The U.S. Constitution in Article .
I .
Section .
9 .
Clause .
1. ended the slave trade in America in 1808 .
Thomas Jefferson was the president who signed the bill into law doing just that .
Lincoln ’ s War against the South didn ’ t emancipate a single slave .
But the results of his unconscionable war planted the seeds of tyranny and oppression that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the principles enshrined in our Declaration of Independence that laid the foundation for the dismantlement of slavery not only in North America but also throughout the Western World .
Of course , in communist countries , Marxist countries and nations with tribal monarchies , slavery is still practiced today .
Where are the protests against these countries ?
True Christianity is the most powerful force for Liberty in human history .
The teachings of Christ and the New Testament emancipate the poor , the prisoner , the weak , the infirmed , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We are all equal at the Cross ; and we are all one in Christ .
We who have been fortunate enough to be born in this country or to become lawful citizens of this country from foreign lands have both the blessing of living in a free country and the responsibility of keeping this country free for our children .
We are hearing evangelical pastors , preachers and Christians all over this country twist the Scripture and say to their fellow believers : • The Rapture is going to soon deliver @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rapture theory is predicated upon C. I. Scofield ’ s ( 1843 – 1921 ) Israel-based prophecy doctrines .
It interprets Daniel ’ s 70-Week prophecy to be in two sections : the first 69 weeks or 483 years , which ran consecutively and concluded with the crucifixion of Christ , and the second section ( separated from the first section by thousands of years ) consisting of a 7-year “ tribulation ” ( primarily focused on the modern State of Israel ) preceding the Second Coming of Christ .
But you needed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tell you there was a gap of thousands of years between Daniel ’ s 69th and 70th weeks .
You would have never come to that conclusion by reading the Scriptures alone .
The truth is that the Israel-based interpretation of prophecy is in total error .
Prophecy is not Israel-based ; it is Jesus based .
The Book of Revelation is called “ The Revelation of Jesus Christ ” not “ The Revelation of Israel.
” The last 7 years of Daniel ’ s prophecy are not future—there are no thousands-of-years gap @ @ @ @ @ @ @ That is a Zionist concoction to deceive millions of Christians into supporting the advent of the communist/atheist State of Israel in 1948 .
The final “ week ” ( 7 years ) naturally followed the first 69 “ weeks ” ( 483 years ) , concluding with the conversion of the Gentile Cornelius , which ended the Jewish Church and made all people—Jews and Gentiles—one in the Body of Christ .
1 Thessalonians 4:15 – 17 speaks of Christ ’ s Second Coming .
Not a pre-Second Coming “ Rapture.
” If Daniel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they are—then there can not be a 7-year , Israel-based “ tribulation , ” and , hence , no “ tribulation ” -based “ Rapture.
” Then , they say : • Our duty is to endure persecution and martyrdom , if we aren ’ t raptured first .
Obviously , IF God ’ s sovereign will is that we face martyrdom ; we must and will endure it .
That is , IF we are truly saved and indwelled by the Holy Spirit of God .
However , there are innumerable professing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ buck the tide of political correctness that openly attacks our liberties .
They are not willing to make the smallest sacrifices to resist what are obvious attacks against our liberties by a beastly antichrist system .
Do you really think that these same “ Christians ” are going to be willing to face martyrdom for Christ ?
I don ’ t think so .
The doctrines of Christian Zionism that would have us sit around and wait for an Israel-based “ Rapture , ” all the while going along with the Machiavellian machinations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ put it mildly , NOT of God .
Furthermore , the idea of free men in a free country with a 200-year heritage of constitutional protection of Liberty sitting around and preparing for martyrdom is , by itself , ludicrous .
No !
It ’ s more than that : It is senseless , scurrilous , sinful and shameful .
As far as I am concerned , the evangelicals who refuse to speak out against the phony COVID-1984 narrative , including the Fauci/Gates/CDC fearmongering , mandatory face masks , social distancing , lockdowns @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and need to be identified as such .
By the way , this column is predicated upon the message that I delivered to the people of Liberty Fellowship ( local and global ) last Sunday .
In that message , I explain I Corinthians 7:20 – 24 , which include these statements : But if thou mayest be made free , use it rather .
Ye are bought with a price ; be not ye the servants of men .
Some of Matthew Henry ’ s comments on this passage are : He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ men but that Christ ’ s will must be obeyed , and regarded , more than his master ’ s .
He [ Christ ] has paid a much dearer price for him , and has a much fuller property in him .
He [ Christ ] is to be served and obeyed without limitation or reserve .
The servants of Christ should be at the absolute command of no other master besides himself [ Christ ] , should serve no man , any further than is consistent with their duty to him @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Some understand this passage of persons being bought out of slavery by the bounty and charity of fellow-Christians ; and read the passage thus , Have you been redeemed out of slavery with a price ?
Do not again become enslaved ; just as before he had advised that , if in slavery they had any prospect of being made free , they should choose it rather .
Our freedom in America was bought by the “ blood and toil ” ( J. Adams ) of our Christian forebears .
Predicated upon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Natural Laws from His Adamic and Noahic covenants to the principles of Liberty given to Abraham and to the children of Israel , not once , but over and over again , to the Liberty principles taught by Christ and the apostles in opposition to the bondage of the Pharisees and an oppressive and brutal Judaic State , America ’ s Christian forebears purchased our Natural Liberty .
Hear Paul again ( paraphrased ) : “ Have you been redeemed out of slavery with a price ?
Do not again become enslaved.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the devilish doctrines of passiveness and fatalism contained in Scofield ’ s false doctrines of Christian Zionism , pastors should be energizing their churches with the Christian message that the Apostle Paul gave to the Galatian believers : Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free , and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage .
( Galatians 5:1 ) Ye have been called unto liberty .
( Galatians 5:13 ) We are not called to sit around and wait for a false Israel-based , pre-Tribulation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ passively surrender our liberties to the forces of tyranny and subjugation and wait for martyrdom .
We are called to fight for the Natural liberties that God , through the sacrifice of our courageous Christian forebears , bequeathed to us .
If the Church would stop listening to the lies and deceit of these Christian Zionist false teachers and would get over their preoccupation with false Israel-based prophecies—including comparing Donald Trump to King Cyrus—and understand that Biblical Jerusalem was destroyed 2,000 years ago and start fighting for the Natural liberties bequeathed to us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do what Benjamin Franklin challenged us to do : keep this free constitutional republic .
As it is , the evangelical Church is helping to create another nation of slaves .
P.S .
Here is the archived online version of my message last Sunday entitled Are You Free ?
Stay Free !

The story is told that soon after the adoption of our U.S. Constitution, a lady approached Benjamin Franklin and asked him, “Sir, what kind of government have you given us?” His reply: “A republic, Madam, if you can keep it.”
Our founders had lived through the tyranny of a monarchy and had fought a long and bloody war for independence. Their foremost desire was to create a form of civil government that would protect the Natural liberties that they had fought so hard to procure. That form of government needed to have multiple layers of Liberty protections built into it. That form of government was a constitutional republic—“a nation of laws, not men.” (John Adams)

Checks and balances protecting civil Liberty are engrained throughout the laws of this republic.

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. (Galatians 5:1)
And
Ye have been called unto liberty. (Galatians 5:13)
We are not called to sit around and wait for a false Israel-based, pre-Tribulation rapture. We are not called to passively surrender our liberties to the forces of tyranny and subjugation and wait for martyrdom. We are called to fight for the Natural liberties that God, through the sacrifice of our courageous Christian forebears, bequeathed to us.
If the Church would stop listening to the lies and deceit of these Christian Zionist false teachers and would get over their preoccupation with false Israel-based prophecies—including comparing Donald Trump to King Cyrus—and understand that Biblical Jerusalem was destroyed 2,000 years ago and start fighting for the Natural liberties bequeathed to us by our courageous forebears, we could do what Benjamin Franklin challenged us to do: keep this free constitutional republic.
As it is, the evangelical Church is helping to create another nation of slaves.
P.S. Here is the archived online version of my message last Sunday entitled Are You Free? Stay Free!

thewashingtonstandard--2020-07-16--Washington Post: Now That We’ve Finished Off the Redskins, the Texas Rangers Must Go

Baseball , like the other major sports , has become insufferably woke , and so the Texas Rangers — like the Cleveland Indians and football ’ s Washington Redskins — are likely not long for this world .
Buoyed by the scalping of the Washington Redskins , the Washington Post ’ s Karen Attiah , who wants white women to consider themselves lucky that she isn ’ t calling for “ revenge ” for their voting for Trump , is now calling for the Texas Rangers baseball team to change its name , because , doncha know , the Rangers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , I myself have cautioned against looking for consistency or rationality from the left , but Karen Attiah ’ s demand is irrational far beyond even the attacks on statues of Frederick Douglass and Ulysses S. Grant from people who claim they ’ re lashing out against racism .
Karen Attiah apparently doesn ’ t realize that she has now entangled herself in a giant contradiction .
After all , we have been hearing for years now that the Redskins , Indians , and the like had to change their names because they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if that is true , and the law enforcement Texas Rangers were really the genocidal racists Attiah claims them to be , shouldn ’ t the baseball Texas Rangers actually keep their name , so as to insult and belittle Texas Rangers ?
Attiah can ’ t have her cake and eat it too , no matter how hard she tries .
If sports nicknames are negative and insult the people the teams are named after , and what she says about the historical Rangers is true ( it isn ’ t : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dr. Jody Edward Ginn , details in his book East Texas Troubles that the Rangers helped break up a white gang in East Texas , and convicted them on the basis of testimony from black victims ) , then it ’ s altogether fitting and proper for the baseball Rangers to bear that name .
But she is assuming in this case that sports nicknames actually glorify the people the teams are named after , and so it won ’ t do , not at all , to have a team named after @ @ @ @ @ @ @ white supremacists ” must in no way be glorified .
But if the Texas Rangers baseball team constitutes praise for the Rangers , wouldn ’ t Indians , Redskins , Braves , and the like be favorable portrayals of Native Americans , in which case there would be no need to change the teams ’ names ?
In reality , it is absolutely ridiculous to think that sports team names such as Braves , Indians , Chiefs , and even Redskins are meant to be insulting and degrading to American Indians , no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kowtow to the mob .
If such names were really insulting , Franciscan friars would be outraged at being thus degraded by the San Diego Padres .
People of a certain stature would be reeling from the disrespect accorded them by the San Francisco Giants .
Animal rights activists would be pressuring various sports franchises to stop degrading and disrespecting Lions and Tigers and Bears ( and their Cubs ) , Eagles , and the like .
Angels would be cursing from on high a certain baseball team that likes to pretend it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ discourse seems to get stupider and sillier by the day , and in the process , the fact has been lost that sports teams took on their nicknames as declarations that they were aspiring to be as strong and fierce and noble as their mascots .
The idea that teams took on the names of groups for which they had little respect , and thought ridiculous , or stupid , or evil in some way , is absurd .
Teams took on their nicknames because they thought positively , not negatively , of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) group in question .
Yet one thing is certain : the Texas Rangers baseball team is not long for this world .
Watch for the Texas Victims , or the Dallas-Fort Worth Wokes , or some such .
The left owns the culture , and so one victimhood-mongering columnist can with one whining column today compel a team to change the way it operates .
The team ’ s fans will just have to take it .
For even if there is nothing offensive whatsoever about the “ Texas Rangers ” or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ once the woke mob has made a demand of you , you must capitulate , and immediately , or face new charges of “ racism ” and “ white supremacy.
” Major League Baseball , already in full capitulation mode , is an easy mark for this tactic , having already decided that any of its fans who aren ’ t race-baiting Marxists aren ’ t welcome at games , anyway .
And so the left ’ s hegemony over the culture will be reinforced yet again .

A Queen!  Or A Pill!

As missionaries to the Americans , I and the 190+ chapter founders of TACTICAL CIVICS™ have a difficult job .
We are dealing with a population that , with each generation , becomes more inert , clueless , and European .
What do I mean by ‘ European ’ ?
Well , the key distinctive of Americans since the birth of this civilization was our character traits that were and are absent in Europeans : the Protestant work ethic and the deep desire for liberty that caused us to resist the largess of meddlesome government in favor of doing things @ @ @ @ @ @ @ became soft .
Before six major and minor depressions .
Before two world wars and several dozen minor wars .
And it was before criminogenic federal government trained operatives at the state , county , local , and school board levels to tax , regulate , and spy on us until we finally gave up .
Now , I am faced every day with men and women in their 60s and 70s who are totally oblivious to basic American civics .
They know more about their favorite TV shows than about the U.S. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ responsibilities of citizenship in this republic ; the fact that We The People , collectively , are the only human power over that law , so when it is being violated on every hand , we alone can arrest those crimes .
These men and women who were born well over half a century ago , when we still had brains in our heads , still today can write with perfect seriousness that “ If President Trump doesn ’ t save America , we ’ re finished !
” , and “ I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have President Ivanka Trump or President Candace Owens in 2024 ” .
While I don ’ t trust Ivanka Trump any more than I trust her husband or her pal Chelsea Clinton , I do like Candace Owens very much .
I think that young lady will do very well as she grows into the many opportunities life has for her .
And sure , Candace is an excellent debater .
But the thing is , so are thousands of young Americans who don ’ t happen to be female or black .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the affirmative action scam ?
Full-grown Americans , honestly thinking that the presidency is a talent show ?
It ’ s not so much that they would actually vote for an unqualified young person to be president , based on debate skills .
But even worse is their deep-seated notion that what they really want is a monarch to rule over them .
Why are so many Americans so totally ignorant of basic civics ?
Of how few powers we invest in our presidents ?
Our Founding Fathers had a keen knowledge of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and fallen empires , they built safeguards into the Constitution , to avoid the most predictable sins of mankind .
From the outset , they decided that America would never have a monarch ; “ No king but King Jesus !
” , they said .
Lazy folk want to take a pill rather than exercise .
They prefer to allow politicians to ‘ run the country ’ rather than limit themselves to very few services .
FOX News celebrity Tucker Carlson has reiterated many times that “ Presidents are supposed to run @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we elect them ” .
Learning civics and performing the duties required of every American is not even difficult .
And it ’ s certainly far less destructive than allowing criminal politicians to ‘ fix America ’ for us .
Voting is perhaps 5 % of our duties as Americans ; the other 95 % we call TACTICAL CIVICS™ .
It includes the duties of Grand Jury , Militia , and regular superintendence of our hired help .
There is no queen , no magic pill on our horizon .
We are under @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and willful ignorance .
We refuse to perform the functions , but continue to want the distinction of the name , ‘ American ’ .
That ’ s not real life , friend .
Real life is the hell you keep calling down on all our heads , as you kick the can down the road , complaining on social media , yet asking for a queen , or a pill .
