As we move forward into the 2024 election season two key issues
remain in the forefront of most people's minds...the economy and the
free-for-all disaster that is our southern border. But what many don't understand is that those two issues would start to resolve
themselves on day one of a new Republican administration if we simply
vote the Democrats out. With Democrats no longer controlling the
reins of power normalcy would begin to return on the economic front
as
“Made in America” and
“Buy American” will
again dominate the economic discourse, and the much demanded wall
would finally get built.
A Republican president, whether it be Donald Trump or my choice
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, will see that both issues are attended
to. But why, for me, DeSantis over Trump...because not only does
Florida have a budget surplus thanks to our governor's economic
policies, but because DeSantis has a workable “day one”
plan involving sending “active duty” military to the
border to help in shutting down not only the overwhelmed points of
entry, but drug smuggling operations as well...issues that should
have been dealt with years ago.
And the reason I do not include former UN ambassador and
South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley here...whom I think would be a
great VP choice for either man...is because after the unmitigated
disgrace that is Kamala Harris I do not believe America is truly ready
for a woman president...in time yes...just not in 2024.
Simply, thanks to the ineptitude that is the hallmark of Joe
Biden's presidency, the economy rightfully remains the biggest
concern for most Americans with its ramifications filtering down to
“We the People” on a daily basis. Been to a grocery store
lately or filled up your car with a tank of gas...no need to say
anything more. And of course the “invasion” at our
southern border has a direct impact on how and on whom our taxpayer
dollars are spent. And again, these two issues could right themselves
if we take back not only the White House but also the Senate, and not
lose our tenuous hold on America's “purse strings”...aka
the House.
And speaking of
“purse strings”...we must now close the
“purse” on the seemingly unending flow of monies going to
Ukraine, while at the same time not losing sight of the fact that if
Ukraine does fall Putin will start to advance on Europe. Likely starting
with Poland and moving onward to the other former Soviet satellite
nations, the monies that we've currently sent to Ukraine vs. what would be
monies saved results in a difficult choice that has to be carefully
weighed, because Ukrainians are fighting in the name of freedom...something we
as a freedom loving nation must never lose sight of nor turn our
back on.
Simply, the economy and
Biden's what amounts to an “open
border policy” must
remain the key issues in people's minds when casting their 2024
vote...especially
knowing that the Democrats need a steady stream of new “brown”
folks
to help restock their somewhat dwindling numbers after having thrown
black Americans under the proverbial bus.
However, other important
issues must also be dealt with, but there's no need to wait for 2024
to do so as they can be dealt with now. And here I speak of a much
needed referendum on the social and moral issues dividing our country
today. And this includes the forced indoctrination of America's
school children; the entirety of the “pronoun“ generated game of sexual
“pretending“...aka
“transgenderism”...as
well as the will not go away issue of abortion.
So here let's start with
the issue of abortion which does see its discourse, at times,
morphing into overt acts of violence. Abortion, the very word drives
passions ever forward, thus making the need for an open discussion
not only imperative, but said discussion must extend beyond the
ideological biblical constraints of the religious vs. the nonreligious views
as to when human life does begin and end. Simple answers are being
overlooked in the name of enacting a leftist political
agenda...an agenda where scientific facts vs. the “it's
my body to do as I wish”
crowd...a crowd who continues trying to mold to their liking the question as to
when abortion should be allowed and when, if ever, it should be deemed
“murder.”
Enter the “Heartbeat
Law”...a
law that leaves it up to each individual state as to the time frame
in which a woman can legally “abort”
the
child she's carrying. And while some states deem abortion to be legal
only up to six weeks gestation, other states deem eight to 12 weeks
as their cut off point, with a few states deeming abortion a woman's
right, right up to the moment of birth...with some allowing abortion
even after a “live
birth”
if done within a given time frame. In this case, I believe, it's “premeditated
murder”
in no uncertain terms.
Now let me state two
obvious facts that are often overlooked regarding abortion, facts
that might help put the issue of abortion to rest or at least not
make it a deciding factor in how one votes in 2024. Fact one:
a human life ends when there is no longer a beating heart, therefore
a human life begins when the developing embryo's heart starts to
beat. Fact two: conception itself is not life per se, but is the
precursor to what may or may not become a human life. Remember,
without a functioning heart there is no life for no human being can
live without a beating heart.
And
with the human heart, even in its most rudimentary stage, not
starting to beat until around six weeks gestation, the “Heartbeat
Law”
with its six week abortion cutoff date actually makes sense for
abortion up to that stage is not murder per se for no actual life is
being aborted. However, by six weeks gestation the rudimentary heart
does start to beat or “flutter”
as some call it, and by eight to 12 weeks the baby's heart is indeed
fully beating meaning it's alive and growing and should be given
every chance to be born. And here, I believe, the only exceptions
should be in cases of rape, incest, the life of the mother, or if the
growing fetus is so medically compromised that it cannot survive
after birth.
Bottom
line...in my opinion...abortion must never be used as a means of
birth control nor should it be an easy fix for mistakes easily
avoided...that's what readily available contraceptives are for.
Remove abortion from the political discourse via the six-week
“Heartbeat
Law,”
and some of the wind driving the Democrats social issues sail will be
no more. And with the issue of abortion slowly being returned to the
states...as per the Supreme Court...official abortion cut off dates
for each state should be based upon science facts not upon any one
religion's tenets or dogma. But with taxpayer funded abortions still
taking place, in an abstract way each and every one of us is helping
to end a human life whether we are pro-life or not...scary and
worrisome indeed.
Now
in regards to another social/moral issue that must be dealt with post
haste is the issue of “transgenderism”..a
“game
of pretending” taken
to a whole new level. No longer just the misplaced belief that a male
can become a female and a female a male, this anything but a game now
involves, in some cases, the physical mutilation of school age
children and even children as young as three years of age...children
“indoctrinated”
either by their parents or by their teachers into believing they're
someone they are not.
And
if truth be told “transgenderism”
was born out of a political need to cater to folks who consider
themselves to be “different”
from the sexual norm they were born into. And so the Democrat party,
who with their acceptance of this nonsense, saw said acceptance as being but a
way to garner more votes, now spews out the word
“inclusion” to
help promote the taking of cross-gender hormones and the anything but
“sex-reassigning”
surgery.
And
in this case it's “inclusion”
based not upon medical facts but solely upon an individual's
“feelings”
that they're not really the sex they were born into, and who now want
to live, act, and be accepted as the sex of their choosing. But the
problem here is that these folks and their supporters are demanding
that everyone else must accept and play along with their new, albeit
faux identity, and must also when addressing said person use the
correct “pronoun”
that correlates with who they are “pretending”
to be. And this is never mind that both scientific and medical facts
alone prove ones real sexual identity.
So
in the name of politics the trans-person's “pronoun”
driven identity crisis...aka their “feelings”...
must now be allowed to override common sense, logic, and the
scientific fact that ones biological sex cannot be changed for ones
sex is determined not by bodily appearance per se, but by one's
DNA...as in a person's genetic code. Simply, ones genetic code cannot
be changed no matter the amount of hormones taken nor what said
person might have cut off or added on when going under the knife for
what is genetically impossible “sex-reassigning
surgery.”
Bottom
line, in my opinion, what is now called “gender
dysphoria”
is simply a game of “pretending”...
a game all must play along with for to do otherwise might cause the
trans-person's feelings to be hurt. But instead of catering to these individuals...instead of a morally “unacceptable”
behavior being deemed “acceptable”...maybe the
focus should be on getting help for those who, in reality, are
suffering from a mental disorder...a disorder based solely upon
unrealistic
“feelings." And
this is
most
telling when the fact remains that most who identify as “transgender”
keep their birth assigned male or female anatomical features. This
alone dictates that psychiatric intervention is needed to help these
folks deal with said unrealistic “feelings.”
And
the last social/moral issue that needs to be dealt with involves the
ongoing “woke”
indoctrination of America's school age children. Remember when school
was about learning...about reading, writing, math, science, and
history...but that's no more thanks to the left now holding the
majority of school board positions. So now our children are being
taught by teachers more concerned about being “politically
correct,
woke,
and inclusive”
as
they openly force young children to not only accept the “pronoun”
nonsense, but to believe that hes can become shes, and that shes can
become hes.
Simply,
what's happening in America's schools today is the forced
“sexualization
of children,” and parents are supposed to accept that as being
America's new norm... no questions asked...no answers given. To that I
say “no
way”
for this act of indoctrination has directly led not only to America's
moral decline but to her educational decline as well. And our
children's lowered test scores in reading, math, and science prove
just that.
And
what's even sadder is that parents who do fight back...especially
when doing so at school board meetings...are deemed “domestic
terrorists” by
the left and at times by the media as well. And it's because they've
forgotten unspoken liberal rule number one that as long as Democrats
are in power parents alone should not be raising their children...the
government should be helping.
Sadly, many of America's public and
even some private schools...including colleges and
universities...continue to be indoctrination centers grooming the
next generation of blind following “sheeple”
into accepting the liberal mindset of “anything
goes,” and
where moral and social debauchery must be accepted as the new
“normal”
with curriculum adjusted accordingly.
And
if that doesn't scare you I don't know what will, but then again most
forget that America's downfall on almost all fronts started when a
previously unknown “community
organizer”
named Barack Hussein Obama became president, and who in just eight
years laid down the time frame by which America would fall...morally,
socially, economically, militarily, and in the eyes of the world.
And
that time is now with 2024 being our last chance to turn this
“American
nightmare” around.
And we can start by dealing with the social and moral issues now and
leave the focus on what we cannot change...as in the economy and
border fiasco...while Biden/Obama are still in power. So vote wisely
my friends, especially in the primaries, for our beloved American can
no longer afford a Democrat disaster being replaced by a
corresponding Republican one...case closed.

But first some
important, albeit brief, background information many of us learned in
high school while many others did not as mandatory civics classes
have now become few and far in between, most especially in “blue
states.” So here let's start with the
“pecking order”
if you will, beginning with the president himself or (someday)
herself, including some civics 101 basics. While our duly-elected
President is both the head of state as well as deemed to be the head
of our government, he under “Article
2, Section 2”
of the U.S. Constitution is also the
Commander-in-Chief of all U.S. armed forces both in times of peace
and in times of war. Also, under “Article
2, Section 3” the president is
responsible “to
take
Care that the Laws be faithfully executed”... meaning
not just laws
newly created
and passed by Congress, but all laws that currently exist on the
books...as well as his ability to sign bills into law; holding the
power of the veto; and making treaties with the approval of Congress.
