Nuke ‘Em Till They Sparkle

From: GemStatePatriot.com                  

“The nuclear option (or constitutional option) is a parliamentary procedure that allows the United States Senate to override a rule – specifically the 60-vote rule to close debate – by a simple majority of 51 votes, rather than the two-thirds supermajority normally required to amend the rules. The option is invoked when the majority leader raises a point of order that only a simple majority is needed to close debate on certain matters. The presiding officer denies the point of order based on Senate rules, but the ruling of the chair is then appealed and overturned by majority vote, establishing new precedent.

“This procedure effectively allows the Senate to decide any issue by simple majority vote, regardless of existing procedural rules such as Rule XXII which requires the consent of 60 senators (out of 100) to end a filibuster for legislation, and 67 for amending a Senate rule. The term “nuclear option” is an analogy to nuclear weapons being the most extreme option in warfare.

“The nuclear option has only been used in practice twice. In November 2013, Senate Democrats used the nuclear option to eliminate the 60-vote rule on executive branch nominations and federal judicial appointments other than those to the Supreme Court. In April 2017, Senate Republicans used the nuclear option to eliminate the exception for Supreme Court nominees, after the nomination of Neil Gorsuch failed to meet the requirement of 60 votes for ending the debate.” – Quoting Wikipedia

WE NUKED ‘EM ONCE, AND IT WAS GOOD, NOW MAKE ‘EM SPARKLE

Mitch McConnell eventually justified invoking the nuclear option for placing Neil Gorsuch on the Supreme Court. By now he needs recognizing a hard reality in his chamber going forward. Obstructionism and demands for unlawful open borders, chain migration and citizenship for DACA children are the Dimms’ inflexible, and only mantra. Waiting for them to come around is foolish. We should not be held captive by these irredeemable Democrats.

If McConnell cannot bring himself to enact such a bold move then I say he is doing the bidding of the establishment as I have stated in the past and it is time for him to exit. There is too much important work that must be accomplished to right America NOW!, especially since we finally have a real patriot in the presidency who wants to drain the swamp, restore our freedoms and our accountability to our Constitution on behalf of the citizen owners of our republic.

Much can be accomplished in America with a house and senate that follow the GOP Platform and the Constitution working with our driven, effective ‘perfect President for our times,’ whom we’ve been blessed to have arrive just in time to steer America away from the fateful path we have been on.

LET NOT THE DIMMS FOOL US AGAIN

States Steve Byas of TheNewAmerican.com, “Americans have long been aware of the high fiscal costs of illegal immigration, but those who argue that this surge of illegal immigration is somehow good for the country have often countered that illegal aliens pay taxes to all levels of government, off-setting these outlays. But FAIR’s report ably refuted that argument, demonstrating that illegal aliens pay about $19 billion in taxes, resulting in an overall net loss to the taxpayer of $116 billion.

“What is particularly perverse about this situation is that state and local governments bear most of the burden, while the federal government collects the most in taxes!

“Costs to state and local governments was pegged at more than $88 billion, but costs to the federal government was much less, at $45 billion. Of the nearly $19 billion in taxes, however, paid by undocumented aliens, about $15.5 billion goes to the federal treasury, with a mere $3.5 billion to state and local governments.” – Unquote Steve Byas

Let’s face facts. DACA is not really about the children. Talking about the children is the age-old ploy of attorneys encouraging clients to appeal to the righteous motives of the jury. No, in fact, most of these DACA ‘children are now grown into something called young adults out on their own, or so they should be soon. Actually, this is about one thing. Votes. Like in quid pro quo. And mostly it is a total waste of money, especially when you discover that they get more in benefits that do American families. Money that needs to be spent on much else, like… the wall.

Legal immigrants don’t get such handouts. Dreamers need to buck up and be glad they are still here. Period. In time they should be steered back from whence they came, grateful that they had their experience of living in America. Maybe they can make a difference back home with the benefit of that experience. Point of fact: We just cannot take in everybody that wants to come to America!!!

They can always apply for legal entry, perhaps with a favorable recognition of their time spent here. That would be a worthy program for Congress to consider after much more important business is completed. Like, again… the wall being built. Building the wall makes sense, is accountable and in keeping with our Constitution’s position on national security while practically stopping the surge of illegal immigration and drugs flowing into America.

DIMMS & RINOS TODAY ARE UP TO NOTHING PATRIOTIC

Americans who are not naïve, or asleep at the switch Democrats following their socialist leaderships’ path toward a one world government, in lock-step with their comrade RINO republicans like Lyndsey Graham and John McCain, need recognizing that all the Dimms’ socialists programs are coming home to roost with all their killer costs overburdening our budget. Dimms have nothing left to work with but pressing for their ‘for the good of the children’ scheme, diversion and obstruction.

Without the extra votes they could corral from DACA, (not the touted 800,000 Dreamers they speak of, but more likely over 3.6 million Dreamers), they and their supportive buds in the ‘fake news,’ mainstream media basically are toast. That is until our older generation has died off and is replaced by the new crop of millennials brought up on Common Core and propaganda from sorry socialist professors at schools of higher learning. This trend should keep us up at night with concern.

God willing, perhaps enough of us can find ways to educate them and get them to inform others about reality and the actual benefits of our Constitution when citizens follow it and apply themselves with the freedoms we enjoy. If you know some of these people who want to believe in this socialist tripe, encourage them to check out the website: SocialismToday.info for a pretty thorough debunking of socialism today.

The Democrat Party is not the party they once were. They have been hijacked by very extreme lefty liberals now called ‘Progressives,’ (sounds better than socialists I suppose) which always had socialism as their main attraction, ‘something for nothing for votes.’ They have had a lot of very good people buy into to their many ‘do-gooder’ programs including a lot of friends of mine as well as family members.

Most of my friends and family just never thought through the math and reality of things, instead choosing to accept that the folks they wanted to believe in were straight up and correct. They naively bought and buy into too many well prepared and well-presented freebie pitches promising panacea by politicians not following the Constitution. All that said, doesn’t even deal with the outrageous onslaught against America by Obama.

The Dimms today should be acknowledged for what they are, con artists. They are wasting our precious time with very dangerous nonsense. America must move on. There is way too much that is vitally important for us to accomplish ASAP.

We need to either Nuke ’em on-going or ditch Mitch and replace him with a leader that will. Remember the GOP didn’t start the nuclear option. Democrats can thank Harry Reid for it. So now they need getting what they gave. In spades.

Using the nuclear option on-going will enable greater congressional accomplishments simpatico with Presidents Trump’s drive to Make America Great Again.

Why Mexico Needs to Pay for the Wall and…

From: GemStatePatriot.com              

This photo is why Mexico has to pay for the wall.

When you realize that Mexico is assuredly looking the other way and almost chaperoning many foreigners from Latin American countries south of them through Mexico to our border knowing full well they are going to cross into America illegally makes the Mexican government complicit in our huge illegal immigration problem.

Elevating the charge that they are intentionally assisting this illegal migration into our sovereign nation is the fact that Mexico has more stringent immigration laws than the United States. Interesting.

As Phil Kent at philkentconsulting.com reports on his website in his article ‘Comparing Mexico’s Tough Immigration Laws To Ours:’

Here’s what Mexico’s “Law on Population” contains:

  • Mexico welcomes only foreigners who will be useful to Mexican society. Immigration officials must “ensure” that “immigrants will be useful elements for the country and that they have the necessary funds for their sustenance” (Article 34). Furthermore, Article 37 says foreigners may be barred from the country if their presence upsets “the equilibrium of the national demographics.” Can you imagine the uproar if our Congress debated, let alone passed, such a stipulation?
  • Mexican authorities must keep track of every single person in the country. Article 73 says federal, local and municipal police must cooperate with immigration authorities in assisting with the arrest of illegal immigrants.
  • Foreigners with fake papers, or who enter the country under false pretenses, may be imprisoned (Article 116).
  • Foreigners who fail to obey the rules will be fined, deported and/or imprisoned as felons (Article 117).
  • Illegal immigration is a felony (Articles 123, 125).
  • Mexicans who help illegal aliens enter the country are themselves considered criminals under the law. For example, a Mexican who marries a foreigner with the sole objective of helping the foreigner live in the country is subject to up to five years in prison (Article 127).

Here’s what the Mexican Constitution also says:

  • Non-citizens cannot participate in the country’s political life (Article 33). Non-citizens are also forbidden to participate in demonstrations or express opinions in public about domestic politics.
  • There are no equal employment rights to immigrants, even legal ones, in the public sector (Article 32).
  • Fundamental property rights are denied to foreigners. Article 27 states: “Only Mexicans by birth or naturalization and Mexican companies have the right to acquire ownership of lands, waters and their appurtenances, or to obtain concessions for the exploitation of mines or of waters….”
  • An immigrant who becomes a naturalized Mexican citizen can be stripped of his Mexican citizenship if he lives again in the country of his origin for more than five years (Article 37).
  • Foreigners may be expelled for any reason and without due process. According to Article 33: “The Federal Executive shall have the exclusive power to compel any foreigner whose remaining he may deem inexpedient to abandon the national territory immediately and without the necessity of previous legal action.

Clearly, Mexico’s immigration laws are far tougher than the United States. Yet its sanctimonious legislators will spin gullible American journalists about how they somehow hold the high road with regard to their immigration laws.” – Unquote

So this serious effort of aiding and abetting these masses of people all the way through their country to knowingly sneak into ours in the face of making extreme exceptions to their own very stringent immigration laws is not only intentional, the Mexican government obviously has actually schemed the entire allowance to burden the United States or it wouldn’t have happened.

Mexico should be glad we haven’t declared war on them for just this intent to harm the U.S. alone, but given that their police and military have actually entered our country numerous times in support of drug cartelsthere is real cause for such consideration should Mexico get in a snit about the fact that they are now starting to pay for our new wall and will pay for it all eventually as per President Trump.

Perhaps once we start repatriating some of Mexico’s own citizens who have snuck in here illegally, and been exposed to free enterprise and what can be accomplished when one applies themselves, once back home those Mexicans might help stimulate the Mexican economy to indirectly assist in our wall payments also through their taxes there.

MEXICO’S PAYING FOR THE WALL HAS BEGUN

Ford Motor Company has actually moved production from Mexico to Ohio. From 2000 to 2014, the F-650 and F-750 were manufactured in Mexico. But in 2014, production shifted to Avon Lake, Ohio.

Ford Motor Company had been planning to build a $1.6 billion factory in Mexico.

Instead, the company announced it was canceling the Mexican car factory and added that it would invest $700 million to expand its Flat Rock Michigan factory. The money will go toward manufacturing high-tech electric, hybrid and autonomous cars and adds 700 U.S. jobs.

General Motors Company put out a press release touting planned and past investments in its U.S. operations, including an additional $1 billion to be spent on manufacturing this year.

GM says the $1 billion will be spent on “multiple new vehicles, advanced technology and component projects” and will result in 1,500 new or retained jobs.

450 of those will move from Mexico to Michigan when GM “insures” pickup and SUV axle production.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will shift production of Ram heavy-duty pickup trucks from Mexico to Michigan in 2020, a move that lowers the risk to the automaker’s profit should President Donald Trump pull the United States out of the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Ok, money from these three announcements don’t add up to enough to pay for the wall yet, but it is a beginning.

Also, since Mexico has been doing so well with all the manufacturing that NAFTA sent them contrary to what NAFTA proponents claimed, why are we still providing $320 million a year in aid to Mexico? That money could also pay for a large chunk of the wall.

CANCEL, DON’T NEGOTIATE NAFTA

President Trump may love negotiating too much. It appears he is actually itching to re-negotiate NAFTA since he says he’s looking forward to re-negotiating it. Actually, Mr. Trump we need just canceling this bogus system that was designed to take us down to a more palatable plane economically that would render seguing our system more homogenously with that of our ‘to be member state partners, Canada and Mexico,’ in the formerly looming North American Union.

That would be where we were to relinquish even more of our sovereignty in the plan on our way to the ultimate status of a member state of a globalist union like the European Union, which would of course culminate in time to the ultimate goal of our being a member state of the one world government run by unaccountable, unelected global elitist who know best about everything for everybody. Fortunately, President Trump canceled our involvement in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

“The formerly proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership and Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) constituted an all-out assault on, and an existential threat to, America’s sovereignty and independence. These twin, trans-oceanic agreements are massive schemes that propose a very radical transformation of the global politico-economic system, with revolutionary integration and convergence of the major Atlantic and Pacific nations.

Modern Preferential Trade Agreements (PTAs, such as NAFTA, TPP, and TTIP) have become so comprehensive and complex that they guarantee conflict — both among the nations that are party to the agreement, as well as between private parties and the various nation-state parties. Resolving the conflict means resorting to adjudication. As with NAFTA, the TPP and TTIP create conflict resolution tribunals (courts) that claim the authority to overrule national, state, and local laws, as well as national and state courts and national and state constitutions.

Additionally, PTA members often opt to appeal their cases to the World Trade Organization tribunal, which claims global judicial authority. In practice, this amounts, virtually, to legislating globally from the bench, striking down laws and ordering revisions. This is not merely a theoretical threat, it is already happening.”

In 1993, the year before NAFTA went into effect, the United States had a $1.66 billion trade surplus with Mexico; by 1995, the first year after NAFTA had entered into force that changed to a $15.8 billion deficit. By 2000, that annual deficit had soared to $24.5 billion, and by 2007 it hit $74.7 billion. For 2014, our trade deficit with Mexico dipped to only $53.8 billion. In 1993, the year before NAFTA, we imported around 225,000 cars and trucks from Mexico. By 2005, our imports of Mexican-made vehicles had tripled to 700,000 vehicles annually, and in 2012, Mexico’s export of vehicles to the United States surpassed 1.4 million. Chrysler, Ford, and GM transferred major production facilities (and jobs) from the United States to Mexico. Our trade deficits with Canada have followed a similar path since adoption of NAFTA.

The Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE) authors and other pseudo-free trade propagandists had cherry-picked data and simply invented statistics to fraudulently sell their product: NAFTA. If they were car salesmen, they would have gone to jail for fraud and misrepresentation. Instead, they are back doing the same thing, concocting rosy statistics to sell the TPP and TTIP.”

“NAFTA proponent Gary Hufbauer member of the Council on Foreign Relations and of the Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE) predicted in his 1993 paper “NAFTA An Assessment,’ “with NAFTA, U.S. exports to Mexico will continue to outstrip Mexican exports to the United States, leading to a U.S. trade surplus with Mexico of about $7 billion to $9 billion annually between 2000 and 2010.

“Haufbauer also predicted that 170,000 new net jobs will be created by NAFTA. In a 1995 interview with the Wall Street Journal he admitted, “The best figure for the jobs effect of NAFTA is approximately zero… The lesson for me is to stay away from job forecasting.” – Unquote Bill Jasper, senior editor of TheNewAmerican.com

There you have it. We get out of NAFTA, letting commerce take care of itself in a normal one-on-one buy sell un-regulated atmosphere and Mexico indirectly starts paying for the wall through loss of unfair trade advantages designed like subsidies working on their behalf.

True for the foreseeable future they will remain the low-cost labor market, but with increases in robotic technologies, it is probably not as important as it once was considering a manufacturing location’s proximity to the market, taxes and transportation costs and how about the more attractive marketing pitch about buying American made.

We should pray that President Trump cancels NAFTA, so we are out from under all the controls such as its tribunals that circumvent our sovereign court system and all the other controls infesting it, so we can best Make America Great Again with American made products. Then with us on a level playing field again, Mexico will suffer losing its subsidized advantages and subsequently will indirectly start paying more on the wall. They truly deserve to pay for it.

Bring ’em home and MAGA.

VIDEO: Arrests & Prosecutions Coming for the Elite?

From: GemStatePatriot.com             

A Video Report From Dr. Dave Janda – A MUST SEE!

There is an incredible video report just out on Greg Hunter’s video news blog ‘USA Watchdog’ where his guest Dr. Dave Janda announces that the U.S. Inspector General (USIG), Michael E. Horowitz released 1,200,000 pages of documents last Friday, Jan. 12, to Congress which will likely trigger a second General Council that will directly put Comey, Lynch and Clinton in the crosshairs.

It was delivered to the leaders of the House Judiciary Committee, House Intel Committee and the Senate Judiciary Committee. Janda makes the point that what is most important about this report is that he feels it will reset the system as it relates to the rule of law in this country.

Dr. Janda states, “The rule of law in this country has been abandoned and massacred by the globalist. That was not by accident, it was by intent. The rule of law was used to persecute people that were freedom fighters and against the globalist system; and the rule of law was, if you will, shoved to the side, so that, you name the globalist, whether it was the Bushs, or the Clintons or the Obamas (puppets), Soros and all these other puppets of the globalists could act out the globalists’ game plan.”

He mentions that President Trump’s Dec. 21, 2017 Executive Order Blocking the Property of Persons Involved in Serious Human Rights Abuse or Corruption has broad and sweeping powers to prosecute many high profile violators of our laws including even Obama.

Janda says he believes that the USIG’s 1,200,000 page report will lead to a significant escalation of what the rule of law should be and what this country was about in its onset. He goes on to state that elite ultra- wealthy people who supported the Clinton Foundation, such as Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, may get indicted before this is over and that those kind of people stand to possibly loose very much of what they have.

THERE MAY REALLY HAVE BEEN A CHINESE MISSLE LAUNCHED AT HAWAII

One of the most shocking revelations in this interesting video interview is the unconfirmed report, from whom he explains to be a quite reliable source, who reports that a there actually was a missile fired by a rogue Chinese submarine, the U.S. Navy shot it down and another loyal Chinese government ship destroyed the submarine. May sound bizarre here, but you should hear him tell this enthralling tale.

There is much, much more to learn in the video. I believe anyone who takes 51 minutes out of their lives to watch this very interesting video will want to pass it on to others.
