RAPID RESPONSE (Archives)...Daily Commentary on News of the Day
This is a new section.  It will offer fresh, quick reactions by myself to news and events of the day, day by day, in this rapid-fire world of ours.  Of course, as in military campaigns, a rapid response in one direction may occasionally have to be followed by a "strategic withdrawal" in another direction.  Charge that to "the fog of war", and to the necessary flexibility any mental or military campaign must maintain to be effective.  But the mission will always be the same: common sense, based upon facts and "real politick", supported by a visceral sense of Justice and a commitment to be pro-active.  That's all I promise.

The Republican Party Is Transforming Right Before Our Very Eyes

RR#2

AFTER A LONG INTERVAL: "AROUND THE WORLD IN EIGHTY" OBSERVATIONS, MORE OR LESS.

This is prompted by the incessant attacks on the foreign policy of President Trump...stupid and uninformed from the Leftists, hypocritical and self-serving at all cost by the monied class and the armaments industries, and committed to the battles of yesterday by leaders of the Intelligence Community".
Meanwhile, the President addresses new opportunities for cooperation as well as for confrontation with important international players...through tough negotiations instead of through armed conflict.

China seeks advantage by any means whatever short of war. Taiwan and activities in the South China Sea loom large in these interactions.
India and Pakistan are barely American allies, certainly not allies of each other.
The Muslim Middle East is a committed adversary.
Russia always seeks to fish in any troubled waters that enhance its relevance against America.
Turkey continues its political schizophrenia.
The "Western Alliance" waivers between nation-states and an "international community" without content.
Japan and South Korea are allies for self-defense - against North Korea which seeks its own self-defense.

In all of this, the President seeks negotiations, through reason and through strength. In this approach he is right. And he could be much more effective if he were not undermined at home by the treacherous groups listed above in our midst.

SO MANY ISSUES (AND OPINIONS); SO LITTLE TIME.

1) Regarding The Day's Editorial, July 24, 2019, entitled: "World Braces With The Arrival Of The 'British Trump'": Are you trying to say that you don't like Trump and Johnson?
Just spit it out, man. No need to beat around the bush.

2) Today's China may become an existential threat to America, both economically and militarily  - if we don't watch out. See the Japanese Editorial re-published in The Day on July 26 and entitled "China's Growing Threat". See also "Xi Changed My Mind About Trump", by Gordon G. Chang (in WSJ July 25, 2019, Opinion, pA15). The operative term here is "National Sovereignty".
See also: "America's Nationalist Awakening", by Christopher DeMuth (in WSJ July 20-21, Opinion, pA15).

3) NOW HEAR THIS: ABOUT CANCER.
This is a very important article that can benefit each of us and our family members.
"Every Cancer Patient Is One In A Billion", by Robert Nagourney, M.D. (in WSJ July 23, 2019, Opinion, pA15.) After all of these decades of "More" in treatment, the message may now be:
"Don't Just Do Something. Stand There."

4) Despite increasing life expectancy, marked reduction in cardiovascular deaths, and great progress in cancer treatment results, "Death Rates Climb for Adults 25 to 64" (by Betsy McKay, in WSJ July 23, 2019, pA3). Especially in those between 25-44, most deaths were from injuries - including drug overdoses and suicides. And this is the demographic that is quietly suffering the most from the excesses of the last three decades: amoral, hyper-sexual, "schooled" but uninformed, "connected" and "tuned in" but personally ISOLATED. Parents: back to work. The child you save may be your own!

5) Rhttps://ctmirror.org/2019/07/22/transgender-issues-polarizes-womens-advocates-a-conundrum/https://ctmirror.org/2019/07/22/transgender-issues-polarizes-womens-advocates-a-conundrum/egarding The Abomination of Abortion, Roe v.Wade was never legitimate "law" and is certainly not "settled". But the current approach to returning the issue to sanity and morality may not be successful - and certainly not timely. See "The Smart Way To Overturn Roe", by Clarke D. Forsythe (in WSJ July 22, 2019, Opinion, pA17). This approach "would decentralize the abortion issue and return it to the states. That would be good for the court and all of American politics".

6) Connecticut's "junior" Senator Chris Murphy is increasingly engaged in substantive issues. See the recent article on the second of his reports regarding this vexing subject; "Murphy: Treatment of Athletes By Colleges And NCAA Is 'Madness'" (in ctmirror.org, July 25, 2019). Not "madness", but Greed and total abrogation of responsibility for the students under their care.
A newer but related issue involves women's sports and the inclusion of "transgender" athletes". See: "Transgender Sports Debate Polarizes Women's Advocates" (in ctmirror.org, July 22, 2019).
"I respect these transgender athletes...No matter how hard I try, I'll never be able to be competitive with someone who's biologically a male."

Finally for this offering: READ THE WALL STREET JOURNAL!  Great post-graduate education.

Now see: "Connecticut Prepares For 5G Revolution" (Editorial, The Day, July 18, 2019).
An informative and cautionary piece for the layman, the authors nevertheless end on an optimistic note:
"Like every other era of human advancement throughout history, this brave new world will deliver generous and volatile doses of good and bad". NOT!  The coming robots, robotics and "artificial intelligence" will guarantee the enslavement of human beings - unless God decides to end His experiment in human nature: "BASTA!"

"RACISM": A TUTORIAL.

First, let's look at how the term is misused...ignorantly and intentionally. And let's look at how it is weaponized.

See: "Trump's Racist Trope Must Be Condemned", (The Day Editorial, July 15, 2019).
See: "Will Connecticut Republicans Sign On For Trump's Party of Racism?". by David Collins (in The Day, July 16, 2019), where the terms "racist" or "racism" appear no fewer than seven times - with "Hitler" thrown in for good measure.

Then see a dictionary definition of "Racism": "A belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority...." ( in Merriam-Webster dictionary).
Then see how Anthropology defines "Race": Caucasoid, Negroid, and Mongoloid ( in The Day Letter to the Editor by Kathryn Johnson, July 17, 2019.)
Then see "Left Screams Racism For Political Gain", by Lee Elci (in The Day, July 17, 2019).

Supplements: the Wild, Wild West of Medicine

EDITED VERSION, although I'm not sure why you want to post it. Most people are frightened of supplements, and do what their doctor tells them to do.

----------------------------------------------
All I had to do was read the first two sentences to suspect that Kevin Campbell, M.D. is a shill for Big Pharma. Or, he is one of the many medical practitioners who remain safely entrenched in the comfort zone that conventional medical training continues to place physicians in. I read further, only to be convinced of this notion. The line in the second paragraph about FDA-approved drugs being tested until they're safe was a good belly laugh.

Given the doctor's claim that the vetting process for supplements is diametrically opposed to that of pharmaceuticals, I guess we can all let out a giant sigh of relief considering that not a week goes by that we don't hear about one or more people being severely injured or killed by an 'FDA-approved', 'painstakingly tested' pharmaceutical. Tell me, would you rather try a lifestyle/diet change (or experimentation with various natural supplements) to mitigate your psoriasis, or regularly ingest an 'FDA-approved' pharmaceutical that "solves" the problem of an overactive immune system by . . . crushing it to the point where disclaimers of potential cancer and TB are required? Don't go on that 3rd-world vacation with this drug in your system; you may not come back alive.

Given the rash of morbidly-obese people in the late 1980s who ingested phen-fen at a rate many times what was recommended (subsequently experiencing a virtually exploding heart), properly researched and dispensed supplements are a good hedge on the all-too human behavior of excess. 'If one pill does X, ten pills will be ten times better, right?' Wrong. Multiply the effects of this dangerous, often fatal mindset with pharmaceuticals whose potency can be hundreds of times that of a supplement.

By the way, just because science isolates a specifically efficacious compound in nature doesn't mean that turbo-charging it is necessarily healthy. Ascorbic acid is great for preventing rickets. However, the half-dozen other bioflavinoids in citrus fruits are physiologically required for Vitamin C to properly do its job. And, don't forget that if you megadose on Vitamin C, make sure to keep up your magnesium intake, which then affects calcium. Supplements can be misused just as pharmaceuticals can be. But, I'd rather my kid fool around with a pop gun than a loaded .45.

Simply put, "scientists" like this physician are often scared (sh)witless of the effects of the "multi-billion-dollar" business of supplements on their bottom line and very expensive careers. As the population ages in the next few decades, Big Pharma is building to be a multi-trillion-dollar business, pal.

Here's the deal: there are definitely pharmaceuticals that no supplement can beat or even match. But that has never been the argument. It has been the intellectually dishonest argument that seemingly non-partisan professionals like this guy try to push.

Supplements are most often about prevention as well as maintenance of wellness. Name one of the many hundreds of 'FDA-approved' pharmaceuticals (in laughably record-time, I might add) that is about prevention of disease. And, things like statins don't count because diet, exercise, and/or supplements known as milk thistle and guggul/gugulipid (in addition to others that a simple Google or WebMD search will reveal) are just as effective at maintaining healthy lipid metabolism without the dangerous side effects that 'FDA-approved' pharmaceuticals note in their boilerplates that often read with the comic tone of The Onion.

Were I one of the millions who complains about the cost of healthcare in general and the cost of prescriptions specifically (while doing little or nothing to live a healthy lifestyle), I'd also be one of those who swallows every pharmaceutical the conventional medical community pushes like the latest street drug.

The point is that supplements (reputable, pure supplements, not the trash sold at convenience stores) are the modern equivalent of an apple a day. Consequently, they will continue to be denigrated by mainstream medical practitioners and Big Pharma because they are a threat to their biggest cash cow, massive human ignorance and laziness.

As for the good doctor's final question to the reader, "I ask you today, would you take a supplement?", my answer is an emphatic, "With bells on."

The "George Washington" Monument
         
           LAUS DEO
         
       One detail that is seldom mentioned is that in Washington,
D.C. there can never be a building of greater height than the Washington
Monument.
       
       With all the uproar about removing the Ten Commandments,
etc., this is worth a moment or two of your time.       
       
       I was not aware of this amazing historical information.

       
       On the aluminum cap, atop the Washington Monument in
Washington, D.C., are displayed two words:  Laus Deo.       
       
       No one can see these words.     
       
       In fact, most visitors to the monument are totally unaware
they are even there and for that matter, probably couldn't care less.       
       
       Once you know Laus Deo's history, you will want to share
this with everyone you know.                 
       
       These words have been there for many years; they are 555
feet, 5.125 inches high, perched atop the monument, facing skyward to the
Father of our nation, overlooking the 69 square miles which comprise the
District of Columbia, capital of the United States of America.
         
       Laus Deo!  Two seemingly insignificant, unnoticed words.

       
       Out of sight and, one might think, out of mind, but very
meaningfully placed at the highest point over what is the most powerful city
in the most successful nation in the world.
       So, what do those two words, in Latin, composed of just four
syllables and only seven letters, possibly mean?       
       
       Very simply, they say 'Praise be to God!'       
       
       Though construction of this giant obelisk began in1848, when
James Polk was President of the United States, it was not until 1888 that
the monument was inaugurated and opened to the public.
       
       It took twenty-five years to finally cap the memorial with a
tribute to the Father of our nation, Laus Deo, 'Praise be to God!'
       
       From atop this magnificent granite and marble structure,
visitors may take in the beautiful panoramic view of the city with its
division into four major segments.  
       
       From that vantage point, one can also easily see the
original plan of the designer, Pierre Charles L'Enfant ..... a perfect cross
imposed upon the landscape, with the White House to the north, The Jefferson
Memorial is to the south, the Capitol to the east and the Lincoln Memorial
to the west.
       
       A cross you ask?  Why a cross?
       
       What about separation of church and state?
       
       Yes, a cross; separation of church and state was NOT, is
NOT, in the Constitution.  
       
       So, read on.  
       
       How interesting and, no doubt, intended to carry a profound
meaning for those who bother to notice.  
       
       When the cornerstone of the Washington Monument was laid on
July 4th, 1848 deposited within it were many items including the Holy Bible
presented by the Bible Society.  Praise be to God!  Such was the discipline,
the moral direction, and the spiritual mood given by the founder and first
President of our unique democracy 'One Nation, Under God.'
       
       I am awed by George Washington's prayer for America ....
Have you ever read it?  Well, now is your unique opportunity, so read on!
       
       "Almighty God; We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt
keep the United States in Thy holy protection; that Thou wilt incline the
hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience
to government; and entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another
and for their fellow citizens of the United States at large.

       
       And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to
dispose us all to do justice, to love MERCY, and to demean ourselves with
that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which were the
characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without a
humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a
happy nation.
       
       Grant our supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus
Christ our Lord.   Amen."
       
       Laus Deo!
       It is hoped you will send this to every sister, brother,
father, mother or friend.       
       
       They will not find it offensive, because you have given them
a lesson in history that they probably never learned in school.

Intersting Thoughts and Statements & Questions

Life is not a fairy tale.  If you lose your shoe at midnight, you’re drunk.
 
If women are upset at Trump’s naughty words, who in the hell bought 80 million copies of 50 Shades of Gray?
 
Jim Comey answered, “I don’t know,” “I don’t recall,” and “I don’t remember” 236 times while under oath.  But he remembered enough to write a book.
 
President Trump should nominate Hillary Clinton for the next opening on the supreme court. Then he can finally get her investigated.
 
Not one feminist has defended Sarah Sanders. It seems women’s rights only matter if those women are liberal.
 
No Border Walls. No voter ID laws.  You figured it out yet?

>>Chelsea Clinton got out of college and got a job at NBC that paid $900,000 per year. Her mom flies around the country speaking out about white privilege.
 
>SOCIALISM: An idea that is so good that it has to be mandatory.
 
Bernie Sanders walks into a bar and yells... “Free drinks for everyone!” looks around and says “Who’s buying?”
 
What is the difference between an Illegal immigrant and E.T.?  E.T. learned to speak English and went home.
 
>And just like that they went from being against foreign interference in our elections to allowing non-citizens to vote in our elections.
 
>Watching the left come up with schemes to “catch Trump” is like watching Wile E. Coyote trying to catch Road Runner.
 
>>President Trump’s wall cost less than the Obamacare website. Let that sink in, America.
 
>>We are one election away from open borders, socialism, gun confiscation, and full term abortion nationally. We are fighting evil.
 
>They sent more troops and armament to arrest Roger Stone than they sent to defend Benghazi.
 
>>60 years ago, Venezuela was 4th on the world economic freedom index. Today, they are 179th and their citizens are dying of starvation. In only 10 years, Venezuela was destroyed by democratic socialism.
 
>>Russia donated $0.00 to the Trump campaign. Russia donated $145,600,000 to the Clinton Foundation. But Trump was the one investigated!
 
>>Nancy Pelosi invited illegal aliens to the State of the Union. President Trump Invited victims of illegal aliens to the State of the Union. Let that sink in.
 
>>A socialist is basically a communist who doesn’t have the power to take everything from their citizens at gunpoint.
 
>>How do you walk 3000 miles across Mexico without food or support and show up at our border 100 pounds overweight and with a cellphone?
 
>>Alexandria Ocasio Cortez wants to ban cars, ban planes, give out universal income and thinks socialism works. She calls Donald Trump crazy.
 
>Bill Clinton paid $850,000 to Paula Jones To get her to go away. I don’t remember the FBI raiding his lawyer’s office.
 
>The same media that told me Hillary Clinton had a 95% chance of winning now tells me Trump’s approval ratings are low.
 
>>“The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people’s money.”—
Margaret Thatcher
 
>Maxine Waters opposes voter ID laws; She thinks that they are racist.  You need to have a photo ID to attend her town hall meetings.
 
**Trump — They’re not after me. They’re after you. I’m just in their way.
 
>Only at the US and Mexico border, do illegals climb/crawl under the fence to get into the what AOC calls “concentration camps”.

ONCE MORE, WITH FEELING...
Public Education in this country, especially in the major cities - populated by those families and children who most need it - is a DISASTER.
I have been writing about this for two decades, published mainly in the "Public Education Politics" section of this web site.
Now comes more evidence. See: "An Education Horror Show" (WSJ Editorial, July 8, pA16).
Then see the report in the Weekly Standard "Report on the incident at Middlebury College", emblematic of similar scenes going on on college campuses throughout the country.
"Unable to speak over the incessant jeers, (Charles) Murray was escorted out of the room, only to see the protests turn violent. The crowd pounded on the car he entered, rocked it back and forth, and climbed onto the hood. The professor escorting him ended up in the hospital."

What is equally a disaster is the recurring overwhelming political support given to the Democratic Party, a wholly - owned subsidiary of the National Teachers Unions, by Blacks and other minorities - the main victims of this bastardization of public education. IDIOCY AND FAILURE OF PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY. What a Shame.

IN SHORT BURSTS...

1) The Fentanyl "crisis" is not hyperbole. This is bad and getting worse.
See the very informative article in ctmirror.org, June 30, 2019.
The life you save may be that of your child or grandchild.

2) Should "Chronic Pain" be a category added to those conditions warranting access to Medical Marijuana?
I agree with the psychiatrist from Yale: "a very broad and poorly defined clinical entity". Also likely a back door entry to "recreational marijuana."

3) A subject with both medical and fairness implications relates to "transgender" athletes. See recent articles in The Day by Lee Elci and by Amby Burfoot. How about a little common sense here?

4) A recent article in The Day discusses the history - and the plight - of "cadet nurses" in the WWII US Cadet Nurse Corps. Former President Harry Truman reportedly said that "cadet nurses should be compensated as other military veterans are." As is so often the case, our politicians "can be counted on to do the right thing...when everything else fails". 

5) In the often fluid and sometimes stormy atmosphere that is international relations, where today's ally can be tomorrow's adversary, America should not be selling the products of our military and scientific efforts "just to make a buck" - or many billions of bucks as is the case. Besides the ability to turn our weapons against us, reverse engineering is a certainty. See the recent article in The Day about our problems with Turkey and India.

6) Trying to "turn a silk purse into a sow's ear". Leave it to the Washington Post, the AP, and regrettably our own The Day to denigrate an excellent and unifying Washington July 4th celebration...just because President Trump was part of it. You delusionals: GET OVER IT. YOU LOST!

A REGUAR GUY?

At  least  it’s   comforting   to   learn  that   some  others   find  themselves   in  the  same   dilemma.

I used to think I was just a regular guy, but . . . I was born white, which now, whether I like it or not, makes me a racist;   

I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which by today's standards, makes me a fascist;   

I am heterosexual, which according to gay folks, now makes me a homophobic;   

I am non-union, which makes me a traitor to the working class and an ally of big business;   

I am a Christian, which now labels me as an infidel;   

I am older than 70, which makes me a useless old man;   

I think and I reason, therefore I doubt much that the main stream media tells me, which must make me a reactionary;   

I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive culture, which makes me a xenophobe;   

I value my safety and that of my family and I appreciate the police and the legal system, which makes me a right-wing extremist;   

I believe in hard work, fair play, & fair compensation according to each individual's merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist;   

I believe in the defense and protection of the homeland for and by all citizens, which now makes me a militant;   

Recently, a woman called me and my friends a “basket of deplorables”;   

Please help me come to terms with the new me...
because I'm just not sure who I am anymore!   

I would like to thank all my friends for sticking with me through these abrupt, new found changes in my life and my thinking - I just can't imagine or understand what's happened to me so quickly. 

Funny...
it's all just taken place over the last 7 or 8 years.   

And, as if all this crap wasn't enough to deal with, I'm now afraid to go into either restroom...

Wouldn't this be nice to see this in all the U.S. newspapers and on all the major TV networks?


 
‘They Don’t Even TRY’: Hungary’s New Border Fence called a ‘Spectacular Success’......
  
Skeptics who believe a border wall will not stop illegals from entering the United States may want to look at what’s happening in Hungary.
 
On the day its border fence was completed, the influx of illegals entering Hungary went down from 6,353 per day to 870 the next. For the remainder of that month, illegal border crossings were steadily below 40 per day, officials said.
 
“They don’t even try,” a local border guard told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “We haven’t had a single Muslim migrant in six months.” 
 
Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s pledge to stop illegals from flowing into the country appears to be a spectacular success.
 
Hungary’s 96-mile long, 14-foot tall double-line fence includes several layers of razor-wire capable of delivering electric shocks. The barrier features cameras, heat sensors and loudspeakers ready to tell migrants they’re about to break Hungarian law if they as much as touch the fence, the DC report said.
 
Nearly every police officer in Hungary is part of a rotation to monitor the border fence   at all times. Temporary military bases house the police while they do their rotation.
 
Additionally, Hungary will train and pay more than 1,000 volunteers to deploy as “border hunters”.
 
Illegals who are caught are arrested and dropped off on the Serbian side of the fence. They don’t get a chance to apply for asylum unless they do so at a “transit zone” where they are held in housing containers while their cases get processed, the report said.
 
In September 2016, thousands of migrants streamed across the border every day as they made their way north to Austria, Germany and Scandinavia.
 
“It was an invasion,” Laszlo Toroczkai, the mayor of Asotthalom, told the Daily Caller.
 
“Illegal immigration is a crime in a normal country. It’s not a normal thing to break into a country.”
 
“By mid-year it was well beyond 100,000 people who came across,” said Zoltan Kovacs, a spokesman for the Hungarian government. “You should at least have the ability to handle what’s going on.”
 
Kovacs added: “You might not like it, it’s not a nice thing, but … the only way to stop illegal border crossings is to first build a fence, man it, equip it, and also, in parallel, build up your capabilities in terms of legal confines, legal circumstances to be able to handle what is coming.”
 
It’s no surprise the mainstream U.S. media refuses to report this story to the American public. Can you imagine how support for a Southern border wall would spike if they could hear about this?
 
With illegal crossings into the United States exceeding 140,000 in the month of May 2019,
the Democrats who encourage and invite this  should be ashamed of themselves.  Do you realize that the number of illegal border crossings in May alone exceeds that of  the Allied invasion of France on  D-Day?

Outrageous actions like this, and the reported order by Portland's mayor for the police to stand down instead of effectively suppressing such illegal action, invite other people and groups take the law into their own hands - also violently. In a societal climate long simmering, it would not take many more of such events to produce a boil long point before the crucial 2020 election.

A  NATION  WORTH   LAUDING  --   ---  from  Heritage  Foundation:
This week, as Americans commemorate Independence Day and the creation of the most free, most prosperous nation on earth, we will inevitably hear from those who say there’s no reason to celebrate a country where not everyone gained their freedom or their equality in 1776. They will say that a nation stained with the evil of slavery, a nation that once refused women and blacks the right to vote or hold property, isn’t a nation worth lauding. 
As a woman and as a black person who lived through segregation, I have experienced both the inequality and the opportunity of this nation. As a student of history and as someone who works with governments around the world, I know how women and minorities are treated in other societies compared to the United States. Because of these experiences, I want to tell you exactly why America is worth celebrating.
Despite their flawed nature as human beings, our Founders laid out principles for forming a nation based on humanity’s highest ideals. Nowhere else on earth had that ever been done before. Those founding principles have guided this nation and created a framework that allows society to recognize the error of its ways.  The fact is, we abolished slavery. We even fought a war over it. We ultimately recognized women’s and minorities’ right to vote, to own property, and to have the full and equal rights of any other citizen. We have endeavored through our laws and our actions to eradicate the unequal treatment and marginalization of fellow Americans because of their ethnicity, religion, politics, or other characteristics.
July 4, 1776 — and the principles that day epitomized — began the foundation for a nation that would right its own wrongs. The unfortunate reality is that we had to grow into our principles. The Founders knew what we aspired to be, but the country wasn’t there yet and even today, we still have a ways to go. In fact, every Founder admitted in his writings that slavery contradicted the equality principle of the Declaration of Independence. They knew that it would be a journey for us to fully realize our ideals, but they set a course for achieving them, and every generation since has been working to advance them. That’s what has made America the unique and wonderful nation that it is. 
I love America not only because we’ve grown to rectify many of our wrongs, but also because we’ve been an incredibly positive force for good. We’ve built a free and prosperous nation where anyone has the opportunity to thrive and live out their dreams. We’ve also shared that gift with the world, helping others to achieve the same.
Despite that success, we continue to hear from the “America is irreparably flawed” crowd that our freedom and free market system only bring opportunity to the wealthy and well connected. They claim that the system just makes the rich richer and the poor poorer.  The reality is exactly the opposite: Capitalism has done more to lift people out of poverty than any other economic system in history. Plain and simple, over the last 25 years, it has been free markets that have cut the global poverty rate by two thirds. In the United States, every segment of the population — including women, minorities, and even the lowest income earners — have seen their incomes rise and their opportunities grow.
Realizing that people around the world deserve the same blessings of freedom and prosperity that we have, Americans work through our government, non-profits, and private charities to spread these blessings to other countries. We’ve even helped others fight for their very freedom — from both world wars to peacekeeping missions around the world. Despite the leftists who call our nation imperialist, when we help other countries defeat tyrants or repel invaders, we don’t use the opportunity to conquer them and build an empire. Rather, we help them to rebuild and become self-sufficient.
These are all proofs of a nation reaching for its highest ideals. While it took too long to correct many of America’s early injustices, and while we will always be a work in progress, our founding principles themselves created the framework that has allowed us to solve some of our biggest issues. While not perfect, we are a great force for good that works to bring freedom, prosperity, and that problem-solving ability to our own land and to others that want to replicate them. This is all part of what we are celebrating on Independence Day. Alexis de Tocqueville said admiringly of America, “The greatness of America lies not in being more enlightened than any other nation, but rather in her ability to repair her faults.” His words still ring true almost 200 years later.  So, on this Independence Day, I encourage you to join me in watching fireworks, eating hot dogs and apple pie, proudly celebrating America, and continuing to work toward the vision of the nation our Founders thought we could be.  Happy Independence Day!

New Diversity in Congress

What a travesty for our nation.

The New Diversity in Congress
Several months ago, the 116th Congress was sworn in, and all day long, the media was fawning
over the “remarkable diversity” of the new Democrat members.
 
It was a day of “firsts,” we were told repeatedly.

While the new Democrat majority offers many members of note, we want to highlight a few “firsts”
who are examples of the “diversity” that was sworn in then.

HERE ARE OUR TOP MOST “DIVERSE” HOUSE FRESHMEN:

#1.    Ilhan Omar
·     The first person who married her brother to commit immigration fraud ever to be elected
to Congress.   Omar is also the first open supporter of female genital mutilation to ever
be elected to Congress.   Such amazing diversity!

#2.    Rashida Tlaib
One of the first Muslim Brotherhood-linked and anti-Semitic candidates to be elected
to Congress.  She also claims to be a Palestinian – not American.   Wonders never cease.
Also has potty mouth using the term "mother f***er" for the president.

#3.   Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
·     Where do we even begin?
   Let’s just say she is the first person elected to Congress who lied about being from the Bronx,
and thus, made up her life story.
She’s also an overt Marxist, in case you forgot.

#4.    Abigail Spanberger
·     The first substitute teacher from an Islamist school (nicknamed “Terror High”) ever
to be elected to Congress.

#5 .   Donna Shalala
·     Rep. Shalala was HHS Secretary from 1993 to 2001 under Bill Clinton and worked from
2015 to 2017 at the Clinton Foundation, and in 2016 she admitted in an interview that some
significant Clinton Foundation donors received “courtesy appointments”   in the Clinton
State Department.
To top it off, apparently she can’t let go of politics:  at 78, she’s the oldest female House
freshman in history.

#6.    Krysten Sinema
   The first bi-sexual atheist to be sworn into Congress.
   She refused to take the oath of office on the Holy Bible.

These are just a few examples of the “firsts” that the media has been celebrating,
those who apparently show an open disdain and animosity for America as we’ve
known it for over 200 years.

And they all represent the Democratic Party!

Kind of makes you proud to be an American
