Reducing School Shootings Smartly

The Florida school shooting, like the many before it, horrifies most of us and we want them to stop; but it ain’t that easy. It is more complicated than gun control and the 2nd Amendment. It is more complicated than arresting someone for a social media posting and the 4th Amendment. It is more complicated than screaming at the President, protesting the non-action of Congress and blaming the FBI, although in this case they are nakedly guilty of inaction. Sometimes you need to go all the way back to the beginning. Every cop starts his career walking or riding a beat and that is where we have to go to better prevent school shootings. One of the most effective ways to reduce crime is the presence of police officers. A cop on the corner with a gun will make most would-be criminals think twice. So a simple stop gap measure to reduce such incidents would be to have cops include stops at schools within their beat. It is a statistical fact that most police time is not spent fighting crime but preventing it. Cops on the beat stopping at schools at unpredictable times as part of their daily activity could create a significant barrier to someone contemplating becoming a “professional school shooter.” I can hear the complaints already, but it is a suggestion that could be integrated easily into an officers daily routine and would probably be more successful than protests by terrified students and activity by gun control advocates or the NRA. Such a plan could be implemented nationwide easily and would not require any more resources than currently being spent on law enforcement. Give it chance, it’s for our children.

The Immigration Solution

The U.S. Senate has gone home after failing to pass four separate immigration bills. This turns out to be the expected result because in truth neither party wants reform that works. Both sides want reform that works for their donors and their party’s goals if you believe what you see and read. Democrats have gambled they will not be hurt by their failure to resolve DACA. Republicans in the House are continuing to work on the Goodlatte Bill. The DACA deadline is approaching. The solution for President Trump should be easy; just enforce the existing law. But, an intransigent Congress, a runaway Judiciary and a swamp filled with alligators and snakes in the Executive Branch makes it difficult. The largest number of illegal aliens are those that have overstayed their Visas. Some have overstayed more than 25 years and have never been visited by the INS. Try that as an American in Mexico and you find its Immigration Policia at your doorstep.  It seems that while taxpayers work their butts off paying taxes, many INS employees consider their jobs paid vacations and enforcing immigration laws has become the pervue of the Courts. It is time for the President to demand INS begin contacting and deporting Visa overstays. Let’s start there and see what happens.

Social Media Should Not Silence Jihad

Intelligence agencies are now asking that social media providers (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc) do more to filter out objectionable materials like sites used by ISIS to recruit terrorists, hate sites and the like. It is a big mistake. Once we start filtering the internet it is only a matter of time until it is censored and then the question becomes who decides. The solution to this dilemma is for intelligence agencies to do their job. The FBI, CIA, State Department and the branches of military intelligence have hundreds of thousands, if not millions of personnel who could be assigned to combing the web for Jihad recruitment sites and use current technology to shut them down or make them unworkable. Listening to these agency heads whine is sickening and listening to them ask Facebook to do their job is insufferable. The job is difficult, but far from impossible.

It’s Time For The S Word

And that S word is sedition. It is being practiced by individuals in the FBI, the Justice Department, State Governors, Big City Mayors, Attorney’s Generals in some states, as well as many individuals in the Democrat Party and the Obama Administration. Sedition is defined as the “incitement of resistance or insurrection against lawful authority.” We see it happening every day and we are learning it has been happening since President Trump entered the race in 2016. We have learned the Democrat Party paid for an unverifiable Dossier on Trump, which was passed off and accepted as serious intelligence by the FBI. The FBI then used it to get a FISA warrant to intercept communication between Trump campaign officials and possibly Trump himself and gave that information to individuals in the Obama Administration to use in the Democrat effort to defeat Trump in the 2016 Presidential Campaign. This effort to alter the outcome of the 2016 election continues in the form of “resistance.” The House Intelligence Memo by Rep. Dennis Nunez exposes much of the Executive Branch members of this seditious resistance. Some big city Democrat Mayors and Blue State Governors are ignoring immigration laws, the AG of California is threatening to prosecute any employer in the state who assists ICE, and many cities and states are declaring themselves sanctuaries for illegal immigrants and drugs deemed illegal by federal law. These activities meet the definition of sedition  and it is time for good men to act to curtail and end this unlawful resistance and attempt at insurrection.

Children of DACA - Beware the Ides of March

Good morning Children of the DACA. How does it feel to be the sacrificial lamb of a Democrat Party that would put your status at risk, throw you to wolves of MS 13 or the border coyotes who would charge big money to smuggle you back again once deported. America is all you have ever known Democrats cry. You have only known the slums where Democrats permit you to live in squalor. They have permitted you to go school, but have given you schools that do not teach you to read. They have let you live in poverty in America but only as political pawns. The Democrats have taught you the slogans of division. They have convinced you that your best friend is your enemy. They have convinced you that living as a illegal alien to sacrifice for their cause of open borders and the conversion of America into a third-world hellhole is better than having legal status. They have convinced you that you should be willing to sacrifice for them while they live fat, never in danger, never in poverty, never in squalor, never having to worry if ICE or MS-13 will come for them. The Democrats have used you for 50 years to further their "browning of Amerca dream." If the Republican alternative had been applied most of you would be citizens by now, but the Democrats have convinced you that being an outlaw is better. So now the rubber hits the road. In March DACA protection ends. The Democrats will watch you be deported. There will screams, there will be gnashing of teeth, feigned outrage, but they will do nothing to help you stay here legally because you are just a pawn in  a power game. You will learn, as are the other victims of the Democrat Party trance, that the law really is bigger than individuals. That justice does matter. That becoming a citizen in the time honored tradition promotes respect, dignity, true equality and a love for country that cannot be bought with cheap slogans, legislative trickery and Democrat demagoguery. Wake up Children of DACA, The Ides of March are upon you. 

President Trump and the Immigration Debate

As usual the enemies of @Potus used his comments to distract from the real meat of the Immigration debate. The President is asking why is our immigration policy focused on bringing in people from primarily third world countries rather than an incentive based system as practiced by other countries like Australia? Of course the answer is relatively simple. Both parties have goals that can be bolstered by illegal immigration. It is said Republicans like the cheap labor and Democrats want the votes. Both things can be true. The President is asking the Congress to revisit the 1965 Immigration Act that changed the focus of immigration policy from predominantly first-world states to third-world countries. He is asking the Congress to end the Visa lottery program. He is asking the Congress to end chain migration. He is asking Congress for the resources to help support the efforts to enforce the border, deport Visa overstays and criminals, and yes, build a wall. Wake up America, the President is working for you. Don’t be distracted by a media that uses distraction as a way to avoid discussing the real issue: The terrible state of our immigration policy.

Trump Puts Democrats and Republicans On The Record

There have been many interpretations of the almost infamous meeting of @Potus and the D’s and R’s. Most of the are wrong including Rush Limbaugh, Tucker Carlson and Ann Coulter. Liberal commentators saw the meeting through the prism of Fire and Fury and used it to confirm most of what they already believe. As far as Rush is concerned; he thinks it was done to dispel the notions in the Wolf book, Fire and Fury. Tucker thinks he sold out as does Ann Coulter by saying okay to DACA. They and most of the media are wrong. President Trump made this meeting public so that Americans could hear where their representatives stand on the immigration issue. Democrats basically want DACA as a free-standing bill without any additional security measures attached. You’d have to be a New Yorker to realize his acknowledgement of the DACA request from Dick Durbin and Diane Feinstein was a satirical response that really meant something like “Yea right” or “really?” The Republicans for the most part are willing to trade DACA for border security, chain migration, the immigration lottery and the border wall. Some Republicans are squeamish on the wall because of how it sounds not because it will work.  The President’s position is the Republican position. You can argue that he has put the Republicans in a position to win on the immigration issue. If you watched you know where the party’s stand and the President is giving you an opportunity to use your voice and contact your representatives and senators on the immigration issue. This was not an episode of reality television. This was not meant to refute Fire and Fury. This was meant to show Americans where the Republicans, Democrats and the President stand on the issue.
