When our Constitution was being debated, the Founders recognized the need to establish a federal government that would secure the ratification of the many states that were wary of a new national power.  So they reserved many powers for the individual states, limiting the federal government’s authority to the following:

·      Foreign Powers: treaties, trade agreements, war & peace

·      Federal Courts of Justice

·      Currency ($), Copyrights, Patents, Weights and Measures

·      Post Office and Post Roads

·      Commerce, between States and foreign nations

·      Taxation 

·      Army and Navy, protection from insurrection and invasion

The Founders believed that when each state had its own government systems, a competitive process would be created, thereby eventually revealing the better system, such as in education. Other states would recognize and adopt the improved system, benefiting all students and communities. 

Such an opportunity is now being ignored by today’s democrat party, which has been taken over by a political faction that is so obsessed with having control that they will not join in any cooperative venture with the Republicans, even if it saves lives and property..   

President Trump’s addressing the crime problem in Washington D.C. serves as a good example. Its metro area is only sixty-eight square miles, yet it had high rates of murder, carjackings and property crimes.  The police staff has been short 800 law enforcement officers.  After the President moved the military in, crime dropped dramatically.  People in the area are happy and finally feeling safe.

Instead of praising the actions, the Democrats are criticizing the tactic, claiming that it is from an “authoritarian regime” and are now protesting the idea of cleaning up another high-crime city, Chicago.  The Chicago Mayor, Brandon Johnson, signed an executive order to prevent police collaboration with federal agents.  That means that they cannot share information about criminals, etc..  

I read that he said “We cannot incarcerate our way out of crime.” Well, how else are you going to do it?  Just what side is Mayor Johnson on?  The democrats are now the pro-illegal immigrant and pro-crime party.  We can add a pro-wasteful spending party, since DOGE has uncovered so much.

Now, after watching Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey speak on protecting the trans community—after one of them murdered two children—I should add that the democrats are also pro-perversion.  They are building quite the voting bloc.  

I call today’s party Trans-Democrats, because they are not moral or patriotic at all.

 

If the Democrats continue, their hate filled and incompetent rhetoric, it will have an erosive effect on President Trump no matter what his accomplishments. Alexander Hamilton wrote of this action:  

"It is a maxim deeply ingrafted in that dark [Jacobin] system, that no character, however upright, is a match for constantly reiterated attacks, however false."

So, how are the Democrats going to stay in power?  By pretending they are better!

The Kamala video can be picked up at the address indicated on the photo, but don’t waste your time hearing her drone on about nothing.  What is interesting is how her audience loves and agrees with her vacuous speech.  They adore her!  While on worship, notice the religious style of the Gavin Newsom poster; he’s going to save the world from the orange man and his evil acolytes! 

The young girl was first reported to have stopped some immigrants from harassing her and her friends, but it was a bad report.  News is still developing on this.

Netflix is a big supporter of Gavin Newsom.  I do not subscribe to their services.

Ann Coulter wrote this about the passing of former congressman Randy Cunningham:

Legendary fighter pilot Randy “Duke” Cunningham (R-CA), inspiration for Tom Cruise’s character in “Top Gun,” died on Wednesday, at age 83. An officer and pilot in the United States Navy for 20 years, he was one of only two American Navy aces that the Vietnam War produced. He shot down five MiGs, three in one day, including a North Vietnamese pilot with thirteen American kills. 

He graciously insisted that his back-seater, Bill Driscoll, be given full credit for the kills, refusing to be nominated for the Medal of Honor — the US armed forces’ highest decoration — unless his Driscoll was, too. Instead, both Cunningham and Driscoll were awarded the Navy Cross, the US Navy and Marine Corps’ second-highest award.

After the War, the daring pilot became an instructor at the Navy's Fighter Weapons School, known as TOPGUN.

Heavily recruited by Republicans, Cunningham went on to become a magnificent congressman from San Diego, serving eight terms, and enraging the left for his opposition to gay rights. 

In 2005, he pleaded guilty to accepting bribes from defense contractors, which I believe weren’t bribes, at all, but gifts to honor a war hero. But he accepted full accountability and served 8 years in prison. 

Then-House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi leapt on Cunningham’s guilty plea to accuse Republicans of fostering a "culture of corruption." Even in his disgrace, Pelosi is not fit to polish Cunningham's boots.

The Democrats’ game would not be effective if the media weren’t such a supporter.  Sadly, they do not properly report on their lies, mischaracterizations, or deviations from constitutional order.  All their reporting should be treated as campaign donations.

My first Olympic team photo, 1980 Women’s Basketball, which did not make it to Moscow.  I found this deep in my storage files; it will soon be sent to the Olympic Museum in Colorado Springs.  In it are some real stars of women’s basketball, such as Ann Donovan (Two Olympic Gold Medals), Lynette Woodard (the first woman Harlem Globetrotter), Carol Blazejowski (record scorer), and future Gold Medal Olympic Coach, Pat Summit.
