A Possible Solution to the Problem at Hand 

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

The article posted here is the authors opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com or Google 

So president wannabe Gavin Newsom...the man who not to long ago “fiddled” when L.A. was literally on fire...now tried to sue President Trump over his 4000+ Federal National Guard and Marine deployment as the means by which to help quell what Newsom called Trump's “manufactured crisis in California.” Saying that said deployment not only “contravenes core statutory and constitutional restrictions,” but that, “defendants have overstepped the bounds of law and are intent on going as far as they can to use the military in unprecedented, unlawful ways,” Newsom also added that Trump did so “on purpose.”

Simply, Gavin Newsom was either totally oblivious to the fact that, as president, Trump can indeed call out the Federal National Guard, or that he simply didn't care that rioting, looting, and destruction was being carried out on his watch...after all those taking part in said endeavors would most likely support his 2028 presidential aspirations. Gotta keep his future voters happy I guess...sarcastically said of course.

And so the Department of Justice rightly dismissed these and other of Newsom's stated allegations against Trump as well...allegations that Trump's actions were but a “crass political stunt” that risks “endangering American lives,” and that they were “illegal” and a “brazen abuse of power,” and the DOJ did so by again reiterating that President Trump did indeed have the authority and the right to call up and send Federal National Guard troops and the Marines into California, as per “Title 10 of the U.S. Code, Section 12406.” This is the code that allows the president to call into federal service both members and units of the National Guard of any state in situations of rebellion, invasion, or when the president or a given state's governor is unable to execute laws with regular forces...as in local police departments not being able to contain or control a given situation...especially a situation whose intentions and actions were to cause violence and mayhem...public safety be damned.

Also, another justification for Trump's “federalizing” the National Guard involved the need to protect “federal functions and personnel”...as in ICE personnel...both during ongoing protests and even where protests were likely to spread and occur as per the “Posse Comitatus Act,” that is until the situation is under control, and thus can be safely returned back to the state. But, this does not look like it will happen anytime soon as the riots are growing and spreading nationwide, and are being done so to protect the very people from deportation that Trump rightfully and truthfully called, “criminal illegal immigrant killers, rapists, gangbangers, drug dealers, human traffickers, and domestic abusers.”

Says a lot about Gavin Newsom, the rioters, and those who support them doesn't it.

So where do we stand now as I write this? Not only have the riots, looting, and mayhem...including police officers being assaulted with rocks and other projectiles...started to spread nationwide into 21 states and 37 cities with the highest concentrations being in California, Texas, Oregon, and Pennsylvania, thus leading to hundreds of arrests and thousands of military troops having to be deployed, but ground zero of it all remains Los Angeles who has now seen some of the anything but “peaceful demonstrators” finally starting to actually be arrested. 

Arrested for what exactly? How about making Molotov cocktails that were likely to be thrown at police; how about a handful of others for being armed with firearms or being caught in the act of “torching cars;” but yet no arrests have been made regarding the dead body that was found near a looted business. And know that the looters, as usual, are again out in full force throughout certain areas of the city, with most of them being of the same genera of looters...what I have referred to as the “element”...as is usually the case. And it's this very group of folks who could care less about the losses and damages they are doing to privately owned businesses for to them it's all about garnering more “free stuff.”

And still Governor Gavin Newsom, along with L.A.'s totally incompetent Mayor Karen Bass...who recently stated that the Trump ordered National Guard and military presence on L.A.'s streets does nothing but “provoke” the population...together have done nothing of substance to quell the riots except to whine and complain about President Trump. How truly sad both Los Angeles and California as a whole has become under the leadership of these two far left loons. I wonder what the great Ronald Reagan would say about what has happened to his beloved state.

So what do I consider to be a logical solution to these types of illogical demonstrations, protests, and the anything but peaceful gatherings? I have an idea that some will herald while others might deem to be the words of an “inciter,” which honestly I am not for what I am is a realist who sees her beloved America not only being destroyed by her “enemies within,” but sees said destruction being funded by “enemies” both foreign and domestic. So, I'll let you, dear reader, decide about the solution I started hinting at in a post I put up on social media just a few days ago. In that post...actually a self-made meme...I stated, “As the L.A. Leftist funded anti-ICE riots now start spreading across our beloved nation, it's time we know that what needs to done will actually be done. A few “examples” made will send a powerful message that this is indeed war...a war that our enemies within' and their supporters will never be allowed to win. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH...THIS NONSENSE MUST END!”

And here might I add the words “END NOW” for some folks have all ready hinted that with solutions being too slow in coming and with violence increasing, that maybe it's time that “We the People” start taking matters into our own hands. And while I do understand where these folks are coming from, I still think the end to the “illegal problem”...the root cause of almost all the domestic problems we face today...is best taken by the Trump administration albeit with input given by we “American citizens.”

So here let me start with exactly how I believe the “illegal problem” should be handled for I, like so many of my fellow Americans, are disgusted with our country having become...thanks to Joe Biden and the Democrats...the red carpet laid out dumping ground for illegals, criminals, gang bangers, drug dealers, rapists, murders, pedophiles, the mentally insane, foreign born terrorists and spies...the sum of which I collectively refer to as “pieces of human garbage”...as in those trying to turn our country into the “third world” cesspools most of them came from.

First, legal immigration by those truly striving for the American dream...those with something to offer America not those coming here for a ”free ride” so to speak...are to be welcomed with open arms, but they must go through all the proper legal channels by following our “on the books” immigration laws. All others, no matter where they come from or who they are should be deemed “persons non-grata,” as in stay in your home country and work to better your life and your county not destroy ours.

Second, I applaud President Trump's deportation plan, and do think he is surely on the right track, but it is not going fast enough or smoothly enough for our country to see a true change for the better...at least not yet. And why not...simply because those both protesting his plan and ICE's implementation of said plan, whether they be run of the mill liberal “bleeding heart” sorts or “bought and paid for professional agitators,” are interfering with the job Trump tasked them to do. These vile folks are, in my opinion, either “aiders and abetters” or outright “traitors” to our country, and should be legally dealt with accordingly as per our laws.

Third, however those overtly instigating or actually caught in the process of committing actual acts of violence...as in rioting, looting, or physically preventing police officers, ICE agents, the National Guard, or our military from doing their jobs, should first be given a verbal warning and if not listened to be subject to an over the head warning shot. But if said shot is also ignored and they still go about doing what is considered to be a criminal act, permission should be given to “shoot to kill,” thus the problem is not only ended right then and there, but sends a clear message to those following in their path that they best think twice about their actions. 

And there's an added bonus in what I just stated in that we the “American “taxpayers” would not have to pay for these “persons” to languish in a cushy jail cell or have liberal DA's releasing them within hours to cause havoc and chaos yet again. And that, my dear readers, is not what our Constitution meant by the term “due process.”

Simply, if what I just stated were to be implemented, I truly do  believe that with just a few such actions being taken, we would see a lot of this nonsense stop. And I also believe it would send a powerful message to America's enemies...both foreign and domestic...that not only is there a new sheriff is in town and his name is Donald J. Trump, but that the America of Joe Biden, that the “transformation” so wanted by Barack Obama, is and will remain a thing of the past. Case closed.

Political Musings 2028

...So with all that said, plus the fact that American's from both sides of the aisle made it clear last November 5th that they're fed up with all the illegal/border nonsense, the social issues in general, DEI and trans/he-she /pronoun nonsense that's being forced down our collective throats, coupled with all the wasteful government spending and mandated must do nonsense, Tim Waltz still continues to spout off that what the Democrats need to win in 2028 is to double down on said nonsense. A foolish man indeed for it's but a sure way for Democrats to lose yet again, as well they should.

However, if the the Democrats are serious in wanting even a chance to win in 2028...which by the way they won't do as Trump's successful “America First” four years will see to that...at least they won't go down like they did in 2024's humiliating election defeat if they chose a more palatable candidate...a more moderate, more centrist, candidate whose vision for America is more aligned with “We the People's” wishes...Read entire article here.

Political Musings 2028 

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio

The article posted here is the authors opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com or Google.  

In politics, as in life, most people tend not learn from their mistakes let alone even try to rectify said mistakes. Some people even continue making the same mistakes over and over thinking that eventually they will be proven right and that everyone else was wrong all along. Oh how foolish some people, some politicians, and political parties can be. But thankful a caveat exists in that politically, both in 2026 and in 2028, the Democrats sure to be continued mistakes will become Republican victories once again.

“If I think I could offer something...I would certainly consider that.” - - 2024 VP candidate Tim Walz when asked if he is considering running for president in 2028

So here let's begin by my saying have you noticed how much air and press time Minnesota Governor and Kamala Harris' 2024 VP running mate Tim Walz has received of late. I most certainly have as it seems the man even more disliked then Kamala Harris is now one of a handful of those being “groomed,” if you will, to be the possible 2028 Democrat presidential candidate.

And if the thought of Tim Walz isn't bad enough there's the ever infamous Alexandria Ocasio Cortez...or AOC as she's more commonly known...now being seen by some as a “leading star” within the Democrat Party, thus making her a possible 2028 contender for the party's presidential nomination. In fact, an early March CNN poll showed that AOC was the “top politician” amongst both Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents when asked which “one person best reflects the core values” of the party, with her scoring even higher then Kamala Harris who, unfortunately, will remain in the Democrat's presidential nomination mix until she herself says...or Barack Obama tells her to say...that she will not be running for the office of president in 2028.

Now also add these five, in no particular order, Democrat names into the cauldron as possible nominees starting, in my opinion, with: 

1. New Jersey Senator Cory Booker, the Democrat who even The New York Times named as being the “third most liberal senator” based solely upon his voting record...a record that clearly shows he is in full support of affirmative action, same-sex marriage, a single-payer healthcare system, the call for “reparations” for descendants of slavery, and far left economic reform regarding supposed race based “wealth inequality” being at the top of his priorities list. An easily manipulated and controlled Democrat party loyalist who easily meets certain must be checked off boxes, Booker does rake in the dollars when running for offiice...something the Democrat hierarchy loves.

2. 
   Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, the man who constructed his state's agenda of “defending Pennsylvanians fundamental freedoms” by using “common sense,” which, to me, means that he is the best of possible Democrat nominees to date. Why so...because Josh Shapiro understands the importance of bipartisanship, and worked with Republicans to invest more monies in PA's public educational system, has hired hundreds of new State troopers, and invested millions in economic development to help create jobs in communities previously ignored. Shapiro could be a formidable rival if Democrats get over the fact that Shapiro is both Jewish and a supporter of Israel.

3. 
   Michigan Governor Gretchen E. Whitmer whose main agenda continues to encompass increasing women's rights, adding more legal protections for both abortion rights and LGTBQ+ rights, with a small dose of increased educational funding and monies for road and infrastructure repairs thrown in for good measure. But, the bottom line is that the woman who promised to “get things done that will make a real difference in people's lives,” still sees her priority being the social issues which, while it helps to check off certain key boxes, it's still not enough for her to secure her party's nomination let alone the presidency.

4. 
   Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey who not only sued the Trump administration more than 100 times...a plus checked off for the far left...but she is the one who relishes in vocally deeming that Border Czar Tom Homan has a “fixation” on Massachusetts. A “climate change” advocate who wants Massachusetts to become a “world leader in combating the climate crisis,” Healey wants the entirety of our nation's economy to become solely “clean energy” driven, And not to be overlooked is her want to turn unused state owned land and public property into affordable rental housing within a year's time...a hoped for vote garnering operation that will go nowhere.

5. 
   And lastly, California's water rationing, “I basically was fiddling while Los Angeles burned,” Governor Gavin Newsom rounds out the list of whom I think are the most likely leading Democrat possibilities for president come 2028. The governor whose poorly designed and executed economic policies not only destroyed California's what once was a thriving manufacturing industry, but saw it leading to record high housing and energy costs, sky high taxes, failing public schools, and homelessness becoming an acceptable new norm. Yet he remains the party hierarchy's “golden boy.” Why so...because Gavin Newsom has, for better or worse, enough national name recognition and clout to draw the party defectors back into the Democrat fold.
   

But know there could be others as well, others who while not having enough name recognition to pull votes away from top name contenders, but who could easily become the pivotal wrench thrown into what would be a spoiler mix. Names like former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, New York's nursing home/covid disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo, and Obama loyalist and former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel whose name not so unexpectedly always seems to pop up on the political radar just around election time.

And so Tim Waltz who recently was not only asked about his 2028 political ambitions, but asked why he believes the 2024 Democrat presidential ticket failed, answered the first part by using a football analogy. Saying that, “In football parlance, we were in a prevent defense to not lose when we never had anything to lose because I don’t think we were ever ahead,” a truth many of us knew all along as the public momentum needed to win this race was never behind the Harris/ Waltz ticket. Also, Waltz continues to ignore the fact that “We the People” simply did not believe that neither he nor Harris championed American values and ideals or that they would fight for right over wrong.

Now as to the specifics of exactly why their ticket failed, Waltz answered because, “the Democrats played it too safe during the cycle,” by their not being“bold enough' to stand up for diversity, equity and inclusion and immigration.” Oh how wrong Tim Waltz is as America...as Americans...as a whole, is fed up with and tired of all the race baiting distractions that are the hallmark of both the DEI rhetoric and unfettered immigration... simply what I consider to be even more infamous “Obamaisms” now sadly come back to haunt.

And so Tim Waltz, who loves to state that he never lost an election before last November, needs to understand that his chances are slim to none of his ever becoming the Democrats 2028 nominee for the political baggage he carries will only get heavier if he tries to continue on this course.

So who then do I think might become the Democrat 2028 presidential nominee?

But before I tell you the answer to that and why, let me begin by saying that many on both sides of the political aisle still think it will, in the end, be CA. Governor Gavin Newsom, And why so...because of Newsom's national name recognition; his still being able to swing political clout; his self-anointing of himself as the leader of the fight against Trump and his agenda; and the fact that Newsom has mastered the all-important, much needed to win an election skill of what I call the sometimes dirty “art of political deflection.”

How so? Here's but one key example. Remember after the devastating Los Angels wildfires how, as governor, Newsom successfully shifted the bulk of the fire blame game off of himself putting it squarely on the shoulders of Los Angeles' Mayor Karen Bass, who rightfully must share in the blame. Only a true politician obsessed with himself and with a dedicated cause would be able to do that. And besides, the narcissism that drives Newsom ever forward, also finds this man possessing the trait of single focused “self-determination”... as in no one best stand in the way of what he wants. Remember, Gavin Newsom has been laying the groundwork since mid-2023 for a 2028 presidential run that he deems should rightfully go to him.

So with all that said, plus the fact that American's from both sides of the aisle made it clear last November 5th that they're fed up with all the illegal/border nonsense, the social issues in general, DEI and trans/he-she /pronoun nonsense that's being forced down our collective throats, coupled with all the wasteful government spending and mandated must do nonsense, Tim Waltz still continues to spout off that what the Democrats need to win in 2028 is to double down on said nonsense. A foolish man indeed for it's but a sure way for Democrats to lose yet again, as well they should.

However, if the the Democrats are serious in wanting even a chance to win in 2028...which by the way they won't do as Trump's successful “America First” four years will see to that...at least they won't go down like they did in 2024's humiliating election defeat if they chose a more palatable candidate...a more moderate, more centrist, candidate whose vision for America is more aligned with “We the People's” wishes.

And for me, a least this far out from 2028, I believe Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro would be the most sensible choice for the Democrats because he is more of a JFK style Democrat in that he has successfully worked and continues to work with Republicans to get things done in his state. Putting his state's needs before what is his party's leftist agenda sends a powerful message to all voters. A centrist Democrat who puts his country first...like did JFK...would at least be somewhat palatable to our Republican side if by some outside chance he were somehow to win, which thankfully I seriously doubt.

But even with that said, I know that Gavin Newsom could well still become the Democrats nominee for Newsom is one thing that Josh Shapiro is not...a Catholic and not a Jew. You, dear reader, figure it out as the sad times we're now in speak for itself. Case closed.
