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.

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.

The Politicization of Hurricane Ian...Part One

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

...And so Kamala Harris deliberately and with malice intended not only reopened Pandora's Box of racial divisiveness and hatred, but she tried to turn Hurricane Ian's savagery into a predetermined lottery of sorts in regards to having one's skin color being the deciding factor as to which group of people receives hurricane aid before anyone else. And she did so solely to help garner votes of both black folks and folks “of color”...votes desperately needed for the upcoming mid-term election...never mind that her words were at the expense of her fellow Americans...Americans of all skin colors...Americans who have lost everything. 

 

But being as clueless as she is...or maybe the word “evil” is best used here...what Kamala Harris' words really did was to shame good, decent, hard working black folks and others “of color”...folks who know well that hurricanes and other natural disasters are indeed colorblind...to shame those who are so tired of one's skin color driving today's political discourse that they are walking away from what the Democrats are trying to sell...

The Politicization of Hurricane Ian...Part One

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

 

“You know, I’m happy to brief the president if he’s interested in hearing what we’re doing in Florida. You know, my view on all this is, you’ve got people’s lives at stake, you’ve got their property at stake, and we don’t have time for pettiness. We’ve got to work together to make sure we’re doing the best job for them. So I have not personally spoken with the president, but FEMA has approved our pre-landfall request.”

- Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to reporter in the days leading up to Hurricane Ian's southwest Florida landfall

 

He asked for federal help as soon as he knew the hurricane was going to hit somewhere along the coast of southwest Florida. He knew it was going to be bad, so bad that the words being bantered about included two words no one ever wants to hear...Cat-5... meaning a hurricane with sustained winds of at least 158 mph...translation being destruction to the nth degree. And yet Biden still did not call Florida's governor until it was noticed by the press, and then did so only to let him know the steps the federal government would be taking to help Florida prepare for the hurricane...which in the scope of things turned out to be not much.

First it was expected to hit the Tampa Bay area but at the last minute what was now Hurricane Ian...just 2-mph short of being a cat-5...turned southeast and slammed directly into the Sanibel, Ft. Myers, Naples, Sarasota, and Cape Charlotte areas, destroying all of the once beautiful Sanibel and Captive islands...Pine Island to a bit lesser degree...and a full 80+% of Fort Myers Beach and Ft. Myers proper. And while Naples suffered severe damage, as did Sarasota and Cape Charlotte, they, thankfully, did not reach the overall cataclysmic damage the other areas did...areas now deemed by many to be akin to a war zone...areas that will take years if not a decade or more to rebuild.

And while all of Florida was affected, to some degree, by Ian, the now many thousands of newly homeless see all they worked and shrived for being taken away by Mother Nature's fury...minus the nonsense known as climate change...but know our paradise lost will become paradise once again...in due time. Rebuilding people's lives is now as important, if not more so, than rebuilding structures alone, but those on Florida's southwest coast know that the people of Florida always stand together in times of need. We did so during and in the aftermath of Hurricane's Andrew, Wilma, and Michael...to name but a few...and we will do so again for we now have a truly good man at Florida's helm...a man who someday will be President of these United States.

“At the end of the day, we are not going to allow lawlessness to take advantage of this situation. We are a law-and-order state, and this is a law-and-order community, so do not think that you’re going to go take advantage of people who’ve suffered misfortune.”             - Florida Governor Ron DeSantis

And so now begins the monumental clean-up task, a task made so much harder by the fact that the waters, which flooded the entire area, have yet to fully recede. And with 108 people now confirmed dead at this point, many due to drowning being unable to escape the hurricane's surge or its ever pounding rains. Water is everywhere...even first floors of homes that somehow survived Ian's fury see both water and mud...peppered with debris...inches deep inside homes no longer being able to be lived in. And yet to add insult to injury when some residents returned to try and salvage whatever they could, they found their homes had been looted of precious mementos and memories not lost to the storm itself, but lost because pieces of human garbage deemed them ripe for their picking.

So while Gov. DeSantis and others in law enforcement...others like Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceano who stated that, “We are not going to tolerate - and I mean zero tolerance - when we say anyone that thinks they’re going to thrive on the residents of this county or state when we just took a horrific hit” ...have issued forceful statements as to what will rightfully happen to those caught looting...liberal loons like MSNBC's Joy Reid foolishly claim that said warnings are akin to a “racist threat from a segregationist,” no matter that there is no mention of color nor ethnicity in any of said warnings. And while it's hard to believe that in the wake of such a nightmare that anyone would do such a thing to folks who basically have nothing left, it shows that partisan politics will always raise its ugly head no matter the situation at hand...as in “never let a good tragedy go to waste,”

And yet, even putting warnings aside, we find that the “element” of what I call “miscreants and thugs” are sadly doing what we hoped would not happen as looting... committed by ILLEGALS “of color” (as per The Epoch Times)...has indeed taken place. And so my beloved Florida's nightmare has now become a national disgrace for the misery of many has deliberately been made worse courtesy of the Democrat's racially based political agenda, its corresponding accusations and blame game, coupled now with race baiting tactics claimed to be but misspeaks.

And this latest in a series of anything but misspeaks all started with these words by VP Kamala Harris who stated...less than a day after southwest Florida experienced one of the worst hurricanes in Florida's history...words in regards to the monumental task of clean-up and rebuilding. Saying that, “We have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity, understanding that we fight for equality but we also need to fight for equity understanding that not everybody starts out at the same place,” she then threw salt in the wounds of many by adding that, “It's our lowest income communities and our communities of color that are most impacted by these extreme conditions and impacted by issues not of their own making.”

Simply, race-bating of the very worst kind.

 

And so Kamala Harris deliberately and with malice intended not only reopened Pandora's Box of racial divisiveness and hatred, but she tried to turn Hurricane Ian's savagery into a predetermined lottery of sorts in regards to having one's skin color being the deciding factor as to which group of people receives hurricane aid before anyone else. And she did so solely to help garner votes of both black folks and folks “of color”...votes desperately needed for the upcoming mid-term election...never mind that her words were at the expense of her fellow Americans...Americans of all skin colors...Americans who have lost everything.

But being as clueless as she is...or maybe the word “evil” is best used here...what Kamala Harris' words really did was to shame good, decent, hard working black folks and others “of color”...folks who know well that hurricanes and other natural disasters are indeed colorblind...to shame those who are so tired of one's skin color driving today's political discourse that they are walking away from what the Democrats are trying to sell. And by her opening her mouth, Kamala Harris actually helped to highlight the fact that most of those already caught looting on Florida's now devastated southwest coast, to date, have been people “of color,” thus not only justifying Gov. DeSantis' and other's words, but seeing the bandage of the Democrats initiated racial wounds again being pulled off...just like her buddy Obama did a mere decade ago.

So while the Democrat controlled media still tries to walk-back or even justify Harris' words spoken, we sadly also find FEMA head Deanne Criswell saying that she agreed with Harris' words and that there are indeed people who have a “hard time and encounter barriers accessing aid,” but that “our (meaning FEMA's) programs support everybody.” But to her words I must say that no group of people have been catered to more, whether it be during good or bad times, than those who comprise the collective groups “of color.” And while Criswell added that, “FEMA will not be discriminating against white people who need help,” just her having to say this means that racial politics has indeed entered the fray. And so we best keep an eye on how this form of government aid is given out, and that it's done so in a fair and impartial manner...a manner totally blind to the color of one's skin.

But not to be outdone by FEMA's hurricane relief efforts, as was expected, yet another ugly political turn took place when a “continuing resolution” (CR) that needed to be passed by week's end...a resolution that would allow the government to stay up and running through mid-December...saw Florida’s Republican Representatives rightfully voting against it. And why did they do so? According to Democrat Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz...who thankfully had kept her always big mouth shut up to this point...“Florida Congressional Republicans not only failed every family reeling from the punch Hurricane Ian just landed in our state, but they just slapped away every American who reaches for a helping hand in a tragic time of need.”

Really Debbie, I think not, for the truth of why Florida's Republican representatives voted against the resolution was summed up best by our great Rep. Brian Mast who called Wasserman Schultz’s move an attempt to score “cheap political points” off a disaster, and that, “The bill they are attempting to grandstand off included no resources dedicated specifically to Florida disaster relief. It was funding for the entire government until mid-December at the same unsustainably high levels that have caused massive inflation.”

And Rep. Mast's truthful words were added to by fellow Republican Rep. Michael Waltz who stated that, “The Democrats’ refusal to pass an on-time federal budget and reliance on CRs is fiscally irresponsible and gives our military, including services that carry out search, rescue, and humanitarian efforts after natural disasters, limited resources,” and that, “The Democrats’ refusal to pass an on-time federal budget and reliance on CRs is fiscally irresponsible,” to which I add puts it mildly.

Also in regards to said irresponsibility Sen. Marco Rubio asked his now Democrat political opponent Val Demings, who publicly chastised him for his not supporting the resolution, “Why does Congresswoman Demings want a package (meaning the CR) loaded with unrelated spending instead of one targeting hurricane-specific aid for Florida?” Why indeed, what with fellow Florida Sen. Rick Scott also rightfully voting against the resolution with his reason being that, “Prior to Ian’s development, I made clear that I fully supported the proposed disaster funding for other states and urged (Senate Majority Leader) Sen. Chuck Schumer to put that up for a stand-alone vote. He refused and delayed this relief so he could use it as a political weapon to stick it in a CR that will end up fueling billions for Democrats’ radical agenda right before they lose power.”

How right both of Florida's senators are, and how said that Democrats see this disaster as but another means by which to “pork-up” their radical leftist agenda.

So now as state, local, and federal rescue crews continue their search for survivors...not yet being ready to say the dreaded words “recovery phrase”...thousands of homes and businesses remain without power. And today as I write this...this being October 6, 2022...Joe Biden and his nursemaid Jill...who chose to visit the commonwealth of Puerto Rico instead of the State of Florida first...has just landed in Ft. Myers to see firsthand the hurricane damage, to meet with Gov. DeSantis and other local officials who will brief him on the response and recovery efforts to date, and for Biden to say God only knows what. 

And that “what” along with a major “ooops” moment will be at the heart of next week's article, “The Politicization of Hurricane Ian...Part 2.”

Chuck Schumer to put that up for a stand-alone vote. He refused and delayed this relief so he could use it as a political weapon to stick it in a CR that will end up fueling billions for Democrats’ radical agenda right before they lose power.”

How right both of Florida's senators are, and how said that Democrats see this disaster as but another means by which to “pork-up” their radical leftist agenda.

So now as state, local, and federal rescue crews continue their search for survivors...not yet being ready to say the dreaded words “recovery phrase”...thousands of homes and businesses remain without power. And today as I write this...this being October 6, 2022...Joe Biden and his nursemaid Jill...who chose to visit the commonwealth of Puerto Rico instead of the State of Florida first...has just landed in Ft. Myers to see firsthand the hurricane damage, to meet with Gov. DeSantis and other local officials who will brief him on the response and recovery efforts to date, and for Biden to say God only knows what. 

And that “what” along with a major “ooops” moment will be at the heart of next week's article, “The Politicization of Hurricane Ian...Part 2.”
