Coffee Break - fixing politics

 

So, taking a coffee break to clear thoughts a little. There is so much happening all the time, anymore, that it gets a bit chaotic. There is constant distractions to get us looking over here, not over there. It's honestly, got me fuming.

This is my opinion, from my own research, if you disagree...I encourage you to do your own research and stop listening to the narrative projected from the noise box. To start, I am disappointed with our government - ALL OF THEM! No party lines for me. I am not only an observer, but a researcher, a tax payer and an American citizen. The kind of voter, that tends to make people uneasy. I vote based off record, observation, discernment, prayer, and overall - for whomever I feel will do the best job. Never have I based my voting on party lines. Every couple of years, we hear empty promises from the majority of candidates either running or trying to get reelected. They are always "going to fix X, Y, and Z," yet, miraculously...X, Y, and Z are only important BEFORE they get elected. Once they are elected, it's amazing how quickly they "forget" their promises. They are quickly bought by the highest bidder(lobbyist), to vote in whatever direction that lobby group wants them to. So, what about the American's? You know, THEIR actual bosses? The voters they only appease during election cycles. Well, we are only useful to these people during the elections. So, how's that working for everyone?

We have a complete dumpster fire in our country. We are being invaded - both from our borders, north AND south, and from within by out-of-control politicians. Our dollar is worth 3 cents currently due to their excessive print and spend policies. Our citizens are NOT being protected, our veterans are sleeping on the streets, and millions of American citizens are not only homeless but going without food, medical care and medicines because of the excessive inflation. We have a President that has threatened to bomb a state in our country, because that state is trying to enforce the law. That same resident has spent billions on other countries securing their borders, yet ours are wide open. Our Congress and Senate spend millions of tax payer dollars on constant investigations, inquiries, and time...and for what? Not a single thing is being done by these people, besides collecting their paychecks - PAID FOR BY OUR TAXES!! Our deficit spending has the United States over $35 TRILLION in debt. For what reason? These people we send to D.C. are supposed to be educated, smart people...yet, they do not understand budgeting or economics? A large portion of them are lawyers, and we all know how lawyers work! We had a businessman in office...yes, I'm aware that he was demonized so a lot of folks didn't like him, but are you aware of all that he accomplished, while fighting BOTH parties? Maybe before someone wants to repeat the talking points of the noise box, you go research the laws, regulations and executive orders that were put in place from 2017-2020. 

Do you remember September 11, 2001? Really? 19 supposed terrorists took out the World Trade Buildings, put a hole in the Pentagon, and crashed in Pennsylvania, supposedly. 19!!! Are you aware that as of this morning, January 29, 2024; there have been 49 known terror suspects apprehended crossing our southern border?! 49, people!!! What happened to National Security, all these safety provisions like the TSA, that took aware American's rights, that are being bypassed to allow all these illegal people to fly across our country with no identification? What happens when an American citizen does something illegal? What happens when you cross into another country, any other country, unlawfully? I don't recommend you try it, but at best you will rot in that country's prison and at worst, you will be killed. So, tell me WHY are American citizens expected to allow this invasion here?

Our government, from both parties, are allowing modern day slavery. Period! These unlawful people entering our country, they are being "pimped out." I mean this in the implied definition as well as our border agents being told to also break the law by allowing it. The human trafficking, drug and weapon smuggling is real. When you have millions of children crossing into the U.S. with absolutely NO idea where they have gone, many of these unlawfuls owe a lot of money to the cartels so they are forced into many undesirable scenarios - prostitution, theft, murder, etc. Americans who are already taxed to death, are on the hook to feed, cloth, house and support these millions of unlawful immigrants; when most American households are struggling to pay their bills. But, let's just keep listening to the MSM about how racist, gender biased...yada, yada, claiming half of Americans are. Is there some, absolutely. You know why? BECAUSE TRASH IS TRASH...NO MATTER YOUR SKIN COLOR, GENDER, OR SEX. Your character will determine your value, period. 

Sadly, what so many people are missing, is this:  Our borders, both South AND North, are open thanks to the current federal government NOT enforcing the laws currently on the books. While our southern border is highlighted in Texas, rarely is anything said about New Mexico, Arizona, and California. Honestly, until the New Hampshire primary...I had not heard ANY coverage discussing our Northern borders - Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, and Washington. Rarely is anything said about these states, and the struggles they, too, are forced to manage. If you think this border mess is just an issue because of Democrats, you are sorely WRONG! Democrats AND Republicans, alike, have neglected to uphold their oaths to our Constitution and the American people, by neglecting to maintain our sovereign nation. Each party, has had plenty of time, resources and laws - CURRENTLY ON THE BOOKS, to FIX our border issues for YEARS!!! 

I believe America is an unbelievably amazing melting pot of cultures. Our differences are what make America an amazing country. However, we are like every other country in the world. We have laws that MUST be followed. Do you know what it takes to come to our country LEGALLY? I can tell you what I have watched my son and daughter-in-law go through. 2 years of waiting, stacks upon stacks of paperwork, more hoop jumping and waiting, a LOT of money, and even more paperwork...and it is still going on. They have been working on this for 3 1/2 years, and STILL are not done. Do you know what happens if they DON'T do each and every step? She is deported, and can not return for 10 years, even to visit!!! So, tell me how this is even remotely close to right. Do you know, in order for someone to marry a U.S. citizen, that have to make more than poverty level income, and it states in the paperwork, the citizen MUST be able to provide for the immigrant. Do you understand how degrading this is to the American citizens watching people pour over our borders when the legal process is so stringent?! 

As a citizen, the only answer I see at the moment is a complete stop of immigrants crossing our borders. Find all those that are currently here and ship them back to Mexico. Clean house in D.C. and only elect people willing to follow our Constitution to the tee, that includes the white house, congress, senate, and the supreme court. Filter that down to our states, and our local officials too. Make lobbying a crime, stop all the insider trading to get our stock market back in line, stop spending and printing. Take our money back to "gold standard," or precious metals. Open up our industry again, reducing regulations, taxing imports higher than industry, start producing back in America. Reduce the incomes of elected officials to resemble only what the average pay is of the area they represent. TERM LIMITS on ALL elected positions. No more run-away, unelected agencies with black budgets and no oversight. No more Military Industrial Complex. No more Federal Reserve. No more bail outs for irresponsible businesses or banks. I don't see the government coming to bail out American's who don't know how to budget. No more back room deals, no more of the buddy system in government, ABSOLUTE transparency to the American Citizens. No more laws for the citizens that our government does not have to abide by. No more special benefits for congress & senate...they pay into social security, medicare, and have the same healthcare as the American citizens. No more 2 tiered legal system. Laws are laws...NO MATTER WHAT. You break the law, you deal with the consequences! No more bureaucracy in our schools, healthcare, or anywhere else. As long as no laws are being broken, what each of us do in our own lives, in our own homes, is NO ONE ELSE'S BUSINESS! Doctors need to go back to their oaths, first do no harm and heal their patients. No more pushing drugs because they are paid extra to do so, no more insurance companies with pencil pushes deciding who gets treated and what is decided by a doctor and patient is not open for discussion by politics. Politicians should have one term to prove they are fit for the job, after that if they do not keep their word...they are gone! I know this is how it is supposed to work already...but that is not how it is working. No more campaigns spending millions of dollars to bash each other. No more special interest groups allowed to do it either, so no super PACS, or other such entities. Realistically, there should be no more party lines. If you want to represent Americans, you better be supporting American policies, that actually work to the betterment of Americans. Voting needs to be on paper, a single day. Make it a national holiday. Voter rolls need to be cleaned up immediately. No more politicians with duel citizenships, you are either an American or you're not!!! If you have duel citizenships, you must relinquish one. Our country needs to go back to Statesmen, people who served their time in government then return to their previous employment...none of this swapping a government position for some cushioned job in another agency, business or position that creates a conflict of interest. No more illegally spying on Americans - smart tvs, phones, tracking internet usage, etc. Just think about how many times you have something pop up in your news feed that you just spoke about the day before. That is no coincidence. Remove the National Security Act. It is a complete fraud. No more money sent to any other country until our national debt is paid off. No more than the average salary in the U.S. for any elected official until the national debt is paid off. Reestablishing our GDP, is no less than 90% actual industry within the U.S. instead of debt. No more getting a job based on anything except merit. You either earn it or you don't get it. 

So, I guess my coffee break is over and I need to get back to WORK.
