The End of Non-Violent Felons

As States move to legalize marijuana many criminals charged with assault, burglary, theft, drug dealing and other related crimes will be faced with the prospect of facing their charge and unable to plead down to a non-violent offense like drug possession. This has always been an easy out for criminals charged with violent crimes, and prosecutors looking for wins rather than protecting the public. Up to now those charged with violent crimes have always been able to plead down to marijuana or drug possession and earn the title non-violent offender, which reduces their sentence and increases their  chances of early parole. It is this sentencing model that gives rise to the idea of our prisons being filled with “non-violent drug offenders” when in fact they have pleaded down from more serious crimes like assault, burglary, theft, high-level dealing, robbery and even attempted murder. So despite the inherent danger in legalizing marijuana, it may in fact dispel the “non-violent” offender myth and result in more convictions with longer sentences for convicted felons.

Election Day and Voter Fraud

Florida, Georgia and Arizona are the perfect examples for proposing an end to early voting, absentee ballots and voter ID and encouraging the upgrading of Election Day to a National Holiday with all voting taking place on that day. Over the past decade early voting, provisional ballots, absentee ballots have led the way in encouraging voter fraud. The phrase “all votes must be counted” has become code (a dogwhistle, if you will) for voter fraud. In close elections lost ballot boxes are found often containing a statistically impossible number of votes for one candidate. These election-stealing practices must end if our Representative Republic is to continue. For those that say there are too many National Holidays already I say pair Election Day with Veterans Day, they are just a week apart anyway. America needs an honest, coherent voting system that can be trusted to give an honest count on Election Day.

As Election Day 2018 approaches voters need to think about what has happened since Donald Trump was elected President. He has exposed a bureaucracy rife with corruption in almost every department, especially the FBI, CIA and the Department of Justice. Project Veritas has produced video of federal employees freely admitting to slow walking the President’s agenda and doing volunteer work for political organizations on federal time. He has exposed a Congress that has proved over and over again it is incapable or uninterested in policies that help Americans. The policy successses that are helping to boost our economy, boosting America’s status on the world stage, and improving the life of Americans are his alone. He pushed them through an unwilling Congress by sheer force of will. Now most Republicans are with him, but it wasn’t always like that. Even now the outgoing speaker is snipping. President Trump is pushing policies that are free of lobbyist’s influence. Policies that are intended to help America preserve its status as a great nation. Policies intended to increase the wealth and health of everyday Americans. The President has exposed the collusion of the political parties, the media and the bureaucracy to get rich off the American taxpayer. Yea, he’s rough around the edges, but underneath that fighting exterior is a man who loves America. He can’t be bought, bribed or embarrassed into making decisions bad for the country. If the corruption in the federal government is plain to you now, just think that without Donald J.Trump you wouldn’t even know about it. That alone is enough of a reason to vote to help Republicans maintain control of Congress.

Electoral Blackmail: The New Democrat Strategy

As the Democrat dream of a “blue wave” begins to collapse and their mob behavior against conservatives reaches new highs the Democrats have embarked on a new strategy; If we don’t elect them to a majority they promise to be more violent, more partisan, more angry and continue the harassment and assault on conservatives and our values. This week Hillary Clinton said “you cannot be civil with a party that wants to destroy what you stand for...if we are fortunate enough to win the House and Senate that is when civility can start again.”  Eric Holder, paraphrasing Michelle Obama said “when they go low, we kick em.” Add to this the actions of paid protestors indiscriminately attacking and harassing people, the incitement to this behavior by Democrat members of Congress and you have the ingredients for an insurrection. That is the Democrat promise. Elect us or the violence will continue. It is nothing more than a new fear tactic being trottted out in this cycle. Racism, sexism, homophobia and Roe v Wade no longer work so it’s time for Electoral Blackmail; elect us or we will hurt you.

Defending Cavanaugh

Judge Brett Cavanaugh has finally been confirmed to the Supreme Court and hereafter will be called Justice Cavanaugh. Despite every effort by the Democrats to derail his confirmation, make him withdraw from the process or otherwise tarnish his reputation he will be on the Supreme Court. To say he was dragged through the mud would be an understatement. To say Democrats broke every rule in the nomination protocol would be another understatement. They attacked Cavanaugh viciously throughout hearings until the accusations became too much to bear and he gave them a taste of their own medicine in defense. The media attacked him with false stories, political cartoons and esteemed panels of experts and accusers alledging he was a gang rapist, a drunk, had bad temperament and was so hideous he should not be able to coach girls basketball, something he has been doing for years, or even remain in his current position as a judge. Fortunately for America none of this worked. There will be more crying and gnashing of teeth by Democrats, their anti-Cavanaugh cadre, and the media, but they are getting what they deserve. There will be no asterisk, no impeachment and any additional orchestrated accusations will be exposed for what they are. Hopefully those that rendered false accusations, conspired to derail Cavanaugh and committed conspiracy and perjury to do it will pay, or else it will continue. An example of these people must be made in order to restore order to the process.

Democrats Mid-Term Election Assault

There is a lot of noise out there this week. There is the Christine Ford charade in the Senate, which is augmented by new allegations published in The New Yorker, all which have so far been refuted or are  unprovable. Add that to the FBI, DOJ de-classification of documents by the President and resulting leaks that simply verify what many have been saying: Intelligence services have been engaged in a deliberate attempt to destroy Donald Trump’s Presidency. And further, add to this the constant building of the “blue wave” narrative by the Democrats, and their media allies. The use of polls that interview 10-13 percent more Democrats than Republicans gives the media the results it wants. By calling the victory before Election Day, the Democrats are hoping people want to run with the winner more than live up to their principles. These are the ingredients of the Democrat assault on the President and the Republican House and Senate. The Democrats realize that if they do not win in November it’s over until 2024. They do not have a candidate who can beat Trump in 2020 and without impeachment or the deep state to do the dirty work of savaging the President they cannot prevent the swamp from being drained, the bleeding of minorities from their party and the recognition by the American people that the Democrat goal is power at any price. It does not matter who is slandered, how many lies it takes, how much division is fomented, the Democrats need power to exert control over you, me and anyone else in America. Without the Presidency, House, Senate or a liberal majority on The Supreme Court, the Democrats cannot implement the legislation required to control your life through taxes, regulation, education and healthcare. The beauty of Election Day is we get to choose. Trump’s battle with the Congress, the Deep State and media demonstrates that we, the citizens, can win this battle. When you vote pull the lever for the America you want to live in, not the one being falsely promised by the Democrat Party.

Woodward’s Book: What Does It Really Say?

Many Trump detractors find Bob Woodward’s new book exciting to read. It verifies all the things they have come to believe about Donald Trump: He is erratic, petulant, vindictive, dictatorial, a liar, a thief, a womanizer, a racist, sexist, homophobe and a xenophobe too. On top of that he is not smart or sophisticated enough to be President. He doesn’t understand the issues and must constantly be prevented from taking actions that could plunge America into war, depression, and worse. On the other hand a second view of the Woodward screed is that as President Donald Trump has relied on the expertise of many people in the Administrative bureaucracy. Many of them oppose his policies because they disrupt the system. His response has not been to fire them, but to hear and consider their points of view. If the White House seems chaotic it is because it is. The administration is barraged daily by bureaucrats, lobbyists, legislators and citizens trying to get a word in edgewise. In addition, this White House has the additional pressure of a rebelling bureaucracy, a special counsel, and a hostile press, all working as arms of the Democrat Party to impeach or remove the President from office. What Bob Woodward’ book really shows is that Donald J. Trump is fighting an out of control bureaucracy willing to do anything to take him out. In partnership with the media they attack him, his family, his allies and his supporters on a daily basis. They are trying to sabotage his agenda and resist the change he is trying to bring. Woodward’s book exposes the swampers and their attempt to compromise this President, and demonstrates that Trump is the right man at the right time; drain the swamp.
