Greetings from Tyler,

The news is too bad to hear or watch. We all hope they (our new masters, bristling with new-found authority and kindergarten talk) don’t get away with a fraction of their nonsense. But they might. Apparently they’re going to push through a “law” that spends 1.9 Trillion, mostly to bail out the indebtedness of New York and California, which are still milking the COVID panic. Where’s all that money coming from? Oh, they’ll just add it to the national debt. It might be worth pointing out that a handful of states, (Florida, Texas, South Dakota…) those that wouldn’t do the COVID shuffle, are the ones that are carrying the weight of the whole United States.

We’re not sure why the “vaccine” is being lauded and praised. First of all, it’s not a vaccine and it doesn’t work like one. Some people are not reacting well to it, and some have died trying to become immune. Organizationally, we don’t tell people what to do or not do. Just like all other matters, it’s between you and God and none of our business. W e expect that people will make informed decisions that are not swayed by fake news and fraudulent polls. If you rely on them you’ll conclude that most people are nuts. But that didn’t just start, it’s been going on for years.

If you believe the mainstream, you’ll conclude that people just can’t wait to get the government boot on their necks. “Tell us what to do and when to do it. And punish us severely if we don’t hop to.” Isn’t it wonderful?

Go ahead. Break the back of the United States so we can all feel good about ourselves. And by all means, let’s get as many Central and South Americans up here so we can finance their American dreams. We feel better already. Except none of this is going to work long term. Spending this country into oblivion is not the answer to any of the emotional nonsense that spews out of every device. Federal compassion doesn’t apply to American citizens, who are nothing but racists anyway according to the truly enlightened. These COVID bail-out checks are just an attempt to get as many as possible hooked on the idea that the government should be responsible for everybody’s needs. There’s not anything American about it. It’s not our way, at least it wasn’t.

The border situation is a full-blown catastrophe, sorry to tell you. There are reports and photographs showing that the drug cartels and human traffickers are running the show now. People are piled up at the border, each having paid smugglers thousands, if not tens of thousands for the promise of entering and going on the dole. What’s up with all the unaccompanied minors? Apparently the land of promise has unlimited compassion and doesn’t mind spending several generations out into the future to prove it. Most of these do-gooders won’t live long enough to see the blight they’ve ushered in.

What are we supposed to think when the military is most concerned about free “transition surgery?” Apparently we have a lot of pregnant women flying fighters and bombers, because the speech that nobody watched let us know that one of the great accomplishments of the new regime is the advent of “maternity flight suits.” There are no good words to say about it.

The man acting as president must read the teleprompter and never, but never speak off the top of his head. If you’ve seen some of what he’s said when not scripted, even lately, you’ll know his minders cannot afford to have him stray from the carefully crafted script. It seems designed to make everyone who loves the country apoplectic, while appealing to the faculty lounge mentality. We’re beginning to wonder what will become of the military, what will become of the greatest nation on earth? Right now it looks like we want China to overtake America in every conceivable way. What, are we going to stand up to them with? Homos, trannys and pregnant women?

We hate to say so, but it’s too obvious to pretend otherwise. This is the fake messiah’s third term. Gone is any former pretense of caring about America’s citizens or the country’s future. Joe will read what he’s told to read, and you can just suck it up while you’re contemplating what racists we all are. We had no idea it would end up this way, and still hold out hope that it won’t. There were numerous miracles and impossible interventions that allowed for the formation of the United States. Had God not ordained it, we wouldn’t be here, having lived our lives in freedom as we have.

But the rejection of God, calling his judgments “bigoted,” and the introduction of nonsensical clap-trap is going to be the end of it. Whether the pretense that the experts are going to “save the climate,” or the “planet,” or the introduction of government-sponsored “transitions,” or the revocation of freedoms the Constitution guarantees, it’s going to take Divine intervention if this juggernaut is ever to be turned around. We don’t rule it out. But people better come to their senses and stop cooperating with the destruction.

Mark

House Democrats to introduce bill for more refugee admissions from Central America

Penny Starr — Sun, 30 Jun 2019 11:26:16 +0000

As the immigration crisis at the border continues unabated with hundreds of thousands of migrants suffering and even dying on the treacherous trek through Mexico to the U.S. border, Democrats are blaming President Donald Trump and gearing up to introduce legislation to increase the number of refugees admitted to 100,000 a year.

Matthew La Corte@MLaCorte_

House D’s plan to introduce bill to increase refugee resettlement from Central American countries to 100,000 per year (1st reported by @ThePlumLineGS). For context, here are refugee admissions totals from the Latin American region the last 10 fiscal years.

This despite evidence that shows some 500,000 migrants —mostly from Central America— will get across the U.S./ Mexico border without being apprehended, including women and children. The United Nations reports that in 2018 the United States took in around 23,000 refugees from all over the world.

A refugee is an immigrant who gains asylum after the court grants him or her that status because they have met the “credible fear” standard of persecution in their home countries.

In an opinion piece in the Washington Post, the commentator blames President Donald Trump, even though Trump has tried multiple avenues to end the illegal immigration crisis at the U.S. border with Mexico, including declaring a national emergency at the border, diverting federal defense funds to secure the border, and crafting comprehensive immigration reform legislation.

Thus far, judges and Democrats have thwarted those efforts.

The Post reported:

Do we want to make it harder for desperate people to legally secure refuge in the United States, or easier for them to legally do so?

The Democratic answer to this question is: Make it easier for desperate people to migrate, provided it is done in a legal and orderly fashion, in as many ways as good policy allows.

(Trump has blamed the Democrats not only for their inaction on the current border crisis but also for putting in place incentives — like catch and release and special treatment for migrants with children, even children that aren’t their own — that encourages migrants to come to the United States.)

“Now House Democrats are set to roll out a major new proposal on the asylum crisis that will constitute a big down payment on the longer-term argument Democrats are making,” the Post commentary said.

The bill is called the Northern Triangle and Border Stabilization Act — the majority of migrants in this latest border surge come from that Triangle: El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala.

The new bill would, according to the Post, increase services to minor migrants in federal custody, create more ways for Central Americans to get refugee status before coming to the U.S., expand “dramatically” the support for migrant families while their cases are being processed, and increase financial investment in Central America to address the alleged problems migrants are fleeing.

The Post notes that the 100,000 number is “separate and apart from the refugees we take in from elsewhere.”

The Democrats are playing the emotional card, as evidenced on the House floor last week when Rep. Tony Cardenas (D-CA) expressed the idea that all immigrants are “human beings” who deserve the same rights as citizens.

“The United States of America has been the gold standard and that is the argument that we are making today,” Cardenas said. “This is not a game.”

“We are fighting for the lives of human beings who should have the opportunity to be like everyone else on this floor to be allowed the freedom to be who they choose to be, who God made them to be in the greatest place on the planet,” Cardenas said. “And that’s why we are fighting today.”
