The Squad

The old Democrat Party was far too conservative for today's Democratic Party. I read in a local newspaper that "The Squad" brings an energetic style & vitality to the Democratic Party. How wrong the writer of the article was. That goes to show you that you cannot believe everything you read in a newspaper or hear reported to you over the TV. Vitality is the state of being strong & active; in other words, changes that will bring renewed vitality to the party. Here is what "The Squad" advocates and wants brings to the Democrat party: Open borders, doing away with ICE, anti-Semitism, anti Israel, who is this country's  staunch ally, abolishing private health insurance, vastly increasing taxes, eliminating college tuition, doing away with capitalism — a free ride for everyone. 

They incredulously compare the situation at the southern border to concentration camps, which is not only totally disrespectful to Jews in America and throughout the world but is patently obnoxious and absurd. "The Squad" always neglects to look at the facts, as they are too busy grandstanding. Pursuant to a request by Congress last year, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) reported that illegal aliens in the United States generate more in costs than services to federal, state and local governments combined, in the billions. It's also documented that in 2018, approximately 30% of those charged with serious crimes in custody were illegal aliens. Now let the squad explain this.

The Squad brings the Democratic Party anything but vitality. They bring disruptiveness, divisiveness, and a total lack of accountability to everything they say. Will this be the new Democrat Party in the future or better yet will this be the new America? If the squad has their way there will be no more land of the free.

EVIL DOES NOT OBEY LAWS

The United States will never create enough laws to control the evil of killing another human being because evil and evil people do not now and will never obey laws or any rules imposed upon them by the government. What makes anyone think evil people will obey government laws when they will not obey God's law- Thou shall not murder. We will always have mass killings, murders, and the breaking of the law because we live in an evil world.  All the laws on the books or laws that will be on the books will not stop evil. When a person has his mindset on an evil purpose he will carry out that evil purpose one way or the other with whatever is at hand to do his or her evil deed. We are already hearing from the liberals and the far left after this latest mass shooting in Texas wanting more gun control laws and for what? The only thing more gun laws will do is hamper the honest decent man, who by the way, respects and abides by the gun control laws. We already have more gun control laws on the books in this country that do absolutely nothing, but yet we want more laws or better yet to take away the guns of everybody, including honest law-abiding citizens. When all the guns are gone and we become a people who depend totally 100% on the government we will then be servants of the government instead of the government being a servant of the people. Some people will not get that. After the firearms are all gone or confiscated by the government what will be the next on the list for the future mass murder to use to commit his evil act? Without naming several I will let the reader think for himself. Do not let the government and some anti-gun groups make you think or believe it is the gun that is the cause of our problems. It is evil in the hearts of degenerate people that cause the problems. People who could care less about any law or what is morally right.

 This country's policymakers, journalists, and the general public look to psychiatry, psychology, neuroscience, and related disciplines as sources of certainty in the face of the often-incomprehensible terror and loss that mass shootings inevitably produce. This is especially the case in the current political moment when relationships between shootings and mental illness often appear to be the only points upon which otherwise divergent voices in the contentious national gun debate agree. Our country and even the world is going down a broad road to destruction. After all the gun laws, the psychology, and many other programs that have been tried and have failed we need to turn to the ONE who will heal this land and put us back on the right course. The bottom law is this: When we obey God's laws the evils of this country will go away. 

Baltimore is No longer Charm City

In my opinion, Baltimore is no longer the "Charm City" as some Democrats would have you believe. Just ride through the city and you will soon see Baltimore is, as President Trump said “a very dangerous & filthy place.” Among the largest 30 American cities, Baltimore has the highest crime rate and is a close second to Detroit for the highest rate of violent crime. But for murders, Baltimore is second to no other city, with more than 50 homicides per 100,000 people. That puts Charm City in the ranks of Jamaica, Venezuela, and El Salvador in terms of lethality.


“You would think that you were in a Third World country,” said Bernie Sanders when on a tour of Representative Cummings’s district in 2015. “There are hundreds of buildings that are uninhabitable.” They are not lived in or used. Was it Ted Cruz or Jeff Sessions who sneered, “residents of Baltimore’s poorest boroughs have life spans shorter than people living under a dictatorship in North Korea. That is a disgrace”? No, it was no Republician who said that but a Democratic candidate for president Bernie Sanders, whose comments about Baltimore were not condemned as sickeningly racist, but contemplated as brave reflections on the failure of America to help its struggling communities. So there is the other side of the picture. The one you never hear about because the one who said it was a Democrat.


David Simon, who has grown really really rich from depicting the misery of Baltimore through TV shows like “Homicide” and “The Wire,” condemned Trump’s comments, saying, “If this empty-suit, race-hating fraud had to actually visit West Baltimore for five minutes and meet any of the American citizens who endure there, he’d wet himself.” But doesn’t that mean Trump was right? Sure it does. How do you deal with people like this guy? I sure he fell off a turnip truck.The Democrats and the liberal news have said that it’s unfair for President Trump to blame Elijah Cummings for his district’s miseries, since congressmen don’t control local issues


like trash pickup or law enforcement. But when you look into Cummings' career you will soon see as I did that he is a Democratic power broker in Baltimore, which,by the way, has been run by a succession of failed Democrat mayors—one of whom stole gift cards meant for poor children and another who “sold” thousands of copies of her unreadable book to the public hospital system. Local state’s attorney Marilyn Mosby is credited with bungling the investigation into the death of Freddie Gray. You never hear the real stories behind those things. Cummings is an integral part of a corrupt, dysfunctional political machine that is directly responsible for Baltimore’s misery. Sad to say, but it is the truth. Even though there is an outcry by the Democrats against Trump he is right in what he is saying. Thank God there is a man that will stand in the gap and speak the truth.


It doesn’t have to be the way it is. Cummings’s district has, for the most part, high rates of college education and home values, and many solid employers, like Johns Hopkins. The failure to develop and upgrade the failed parts of the district lies with people like Elijah Cummings, whose four decades in elected office have been a long story of wasted opportunities and neglect. After forty years of Cummings leadership, things are worse and not better for sure, but you will never hear that from the liberal news media.
