Maintaining a Global Balance
Different because of our Constitution and Democratic Republic...
Better because of all our freedoms...
Better because of our quality of life...
Better because we have laws and safeguards to protect our citizens from business that want to take advantage of our greed...
Better because of all the natural resources that we have in this country and because our productivity is higher than any other place in the entire world...
On the other side of the coin, we are no better than other countries because:
- Americans lie
- Americans cheat
- Americans steal
- Americans hide the truth
- Americans bully other countries
- Americans interfere with elections in other countries
- Americans take advantage of other's ignorance
- Americans try to change global cultures
We think that we are better when in reality we are not better and in many cases we are worse... as we hide behind democracy and our religious beliefs...
America is in crisis because of immigration, inflation, our divided political beliefs, racism, and wealth... it is this division that will come close to destroying our country and at the very least, force us off the top of the hill as the global leader...
Who will take our place?
China
Russia
India
China certainly has the ability to be global leader with its growing economy, growing military, growing space program, and growing population... but, it has not been tested with WAR... having a big stick is not the same as being able to use that big stick effectively.
Russia, at one time, had the ability and determination to be a global leader, but hell, they cannot even defeat a small country like the Ukraine unless they use nuclear weapons... it would appear that their global bullying days are politically over unless something drastically changes.
I am not even going to address India... as they are just trying to build internal wealth through global commerce and their ability to provide back office skills.
The US of A is, right now and in my opinio, IMPOTENT, and no longer has the wherewithall to provide global leaders although several billionaires disagree with me. Billionaires influence but they cannot control the masses.
Our global affairs will be divided equally among the top countries... it's just that they do not know it yet. The US of A will FAIL and they will FAIL BIG but they will always be needed in some capacity by the rest of the world... if for no other reason but to maintain a global balance.
Future of Religion in USA
Since the 1990s, large numbers of Americans have left Christianity to join the growing ranks of U.S. adults who describe their religious identity as atheist, agnostic or “nothing in particular.” This accelerating trend is reshaping the U.S. religious landscape, leading many people to wonder what the future of religion in America might look like.
What if Christians keep leaving religion at the same rate observed in recent years? What if the pace of religious switching continues to accelerate? What if switching were to stop, but other demographic trends – such as migration, births and deaths – were to continue at current rates? To help answer such questions, Pew Research Center has modeled several hypothetical scenarios describing how the U.S. religious landscape might change over the next half century.
The Center estimates that in 2020, about 64% of Americans, including children, were Christian. People who are religiously unaffiliated, sometimes called religious “nones,” accounted for 30% of the U.S. population. Adherents of all other religions – including Jews, Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists – totaled about 6%
Depending on whether religious switching continues at recent rates, speeds up or stops entirely, the projections show Christians of all ages shrinking from 64% to between a little more than half (54%) and just above one-third (35%) of all Americans by 2070. Over that same period, “nones” would rise from the current 30% to somewhere between 34% and 52% of the U.S. population. READ MORE...
SOCIALISM takes America Into COMMUNISM
The main difference is that under communism, most property and economic resources are owned and controlled by the state (rather than individual citizens); under socialism, all citizens share equally in economic resources as allocated by a democratically-elected government.
Socialism and communism both place much value on creating a more equal society and removing class privilege. The biggest difference between them is that socialism is compatible with liberty and democracy, while communism depends on an authoritarian state to create an “equal society” that denies basic liberties.
The US of A and its liberal citizens want to create a society of equality and equity... which means that can be no wealthy people in the US of A.... all of its citizens must have the same amount of wealth as their neighbors have...
- No more wealthy Hollywood actors and actresses
- No more wealthy professional athletes
- No more wealthy musicians
- No more wealthy artists
- No more wealthy CEOs and business owners
What you may not realize or want to realize is that the US of A is actually moving into this direction... this movement is being pushed by the blacks, liberal democrats, and the liberal media... and they are doing this under the guise of equity and equality...
What these liberal people do not understand is that AMERICANS ARE NOT EQUAL AND WILL NEVER BE EQUAL...
- How do you change ugly?
- How do you change one's height?
- How do you change one's mental ability?
- How do you change one's physical ability?
Think about this... how are you going to make everyone as smart as Einstein? Or, as physically gifted as Michael Jordan? Or, have the musical voice of Bing Crosby singing White Christmas? Or, have the acting ability of Tom Hanks or Meryl Streep?
The more we try to make all people equal, the more we move towards countries like China and Russia. In these two countries, individual skills and abilities are supressed unless you are training for the Olympics or dancing in the Russian Ballet.
We are all different and we will always be different and we will never achieve equality and equity.

Communist America with Capitalistic Professional Sports
In addition to this LYING, our media companies are not covering our problem at the border except for FOX News... this lack of coverage, helps convince the American public that there is no problem at our Southern border.
Several millions of illegal immigrants have already come into this country... these illegal immigrants speak no English, have minimal skills, and brought no money with them to pay for food, shelter, clothing, or healthcare...
LYING to the citizens is what COMMUNIST countries do every day in an effort to control their people giving them only the knowledge and information that they want them to know and HIDE the rest.
America is now no different than Russia or China or for that matter North Korea....
HOWEVER, unlike these communist countries, the US of A still allows professional athletes to earn millions of dollars to play basketball, baseball, and football... UNFORTUNATELY, only the wealthy can attend these games, the rest of us must watch the athletic event on television through cable or paid TV.
Russia has its wealthy oligarchs while the USA has its wealthy athletes...,
How are we really better than these COMMUNIST countries?
We are not better.... We are both the same...
HIDE THE TRUTH FROM THE PUBLIC but allow the wealthy to do whatever the hell they want. The wealthy are special and above the law as well as above all the rules that govern the rest of us. Illegal immigrants are treated better than our citizens.
If the truth be known, these wealthy people still have to defecate and wipe their asses just like the rest of us... and, the paper they use is no better than the paper we use... The wealthy also bleed just like the rest of us and eventually die. SO, having money is what makes them different and special....
SIMILARLY, communism is no different than American Democracy because of the way it attempts to hide the truth from the general public and those who are not wealthy. The wealthy finance this hidden truth...
There are more non wealthy people than wealthy people...

It's Just An Opinion
However, if you have a PhD, your opinion is more valuable than someone who doesn't.
If you are a leader or a CEO or a plant manager, you opinion is more valuable.
If you are in the State Legislature, then your opinion is more valuable than others.
If you are a US Congressperson, then your opinion is really more valuable than others.
BUT... it is still just an opinion... and there are people who take the facts and the data and spin both so that they can create a narrative that appears to be rooted in truth, when in fact, it is not rooted anywhere near the soil or dirt of truth.
- What was the real truth of slavery?
- What was the real truth of Native Americans?
- What was the real truth of the Civil War?
- What was the real truth of Microsoft?
- What was the real truth of smoking cigarettes?
- What was the real truth of UFOs?
- What was the real truth of nazi germany?
- What was the real truth of our space program?
- What was the real truth of COVID?
Our government LOVES to HIDE the TRUTH from us... they say it is not really lying, just withholding information until the time is more appropriate... that is still lying...
But Hey... this is just my opinion... I don't have a PhD. I am not a leader or an elected official. I am simply retired.
We as Americans who represent the working class, even though we have a majority, are treated as if we are stupid and should not be told the truth, nor should our opinions be listened to... by those who claim to be our leaders.
If they really listented to our opinions, then why do you think we still have the same problems TODAY that we had in the 1960s?
Ain't that a good enough question?
Illegal Immigration and US Economic Growth
Today, 10.2 million undocumented immigrants are living and working in communities across the United States.1 On average, they have lived in this country for 16 years and are parents, grandparents, and siblings to another 10.2 million family members.2 At the same time, it has been nearly 40 years since Congress has meaningfully reformed the U.S. immigration system, leaving a generation of individuals and their families vulnerable.
Poll after poll has illustrated that the vast majority of Americans support putting undocumented immigrants on a pathway to citizenship. And as the nation emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic and looks toward the future, legalization is a key component of a just, equitable, and robust recovery.3
To download descriptions and the modeled impacts associated with four scenarios that would put undocumented immigrants on a pathway to legalization and citizenship, see the links below:
Scenario 1: All undocumented immigrants
Scenario 2: Undocumented immigrants working in essential roles
Scenario 3: Undocumented immigrants eligible for the American Dream and Promise Act
Scenario 4: Undocumented immigrants who are either essential workers or eligible for the American Dream and Promise Act
As the Biden administration and Congress craft their recovery legislation and consider how best to move the nation’s policies toward a more fair, humane, and workable immigration system, the Center for American Progress and the University of California, Davis’s Global Migration Center modeled the economic impacts of several proposals that are currently before Congress.

Using an aggregate macro-growth simulation, the model illustrates the benefits to the whole nation from putting undocumented immigrants on a pathway to citizenship. Such legislation would increase productivity and wages—not just for those eligible for legalization, but for all American workers—create hundreds of thousands of jobs, and increase tax revenue.4
To help inform policymakers and advocates, this report looks at four potential scenarios where Congress grants a pathway to citizenship to: all undocumented immigrants; undocumented immigrants working in essential occupations; Dreamers and those eligible for Temporary Protected Status (TPS); and a combination of Dreamers, those eligible for TPS, and essential workers.5 READ MORE...

The SILENT MAJORITY are the Ones Who Get Hurt Financially
FORBES - HOW TO FIX INFLATION
- One of the main tools The Fed uses to fix inflation is raising interest rates. This is an example of monetary policy.
- The government can introduce fiscal policies to reduce inflation by increasing taxes or cutting spending.
- The Fed has to be careful about raising interest rates because slowing down the economy can lead to hardship for many people.
Many experts have started to suggest a number of different ways to fix inflation. This leads us to one very important question, how? How do we battle inflation?
CAUSES OF INFLATION 2020-2022
- Government Stimulus Spending
- Increased Jobs and Increased Wages
- Demand outstripping Supply
- Deficit Financing of Government Spending
- Population Growth and Hoarding Supplies
- Supply Chain Issues Influencing Circulation
So... here we are... deeply involved in an inflationary period of increased prices and a reduction of goods and services...
At this point in time, it is pointless to point the finger... as there is plenty of blame to go around... the issue that we currently face is, how in the hell do we get out of this inflationary period?
The answer is:
- We need to reduce consumption...
- We need to reduce spending...
- Government spending
- Consumer spending
- We need to reduce the supply of money...
- Increase interest rates...
- Increase taxes...
To blame the Democrats or the Republicans is a waste of time... Politics points the finger of blame for the sole purpose of winning elections... this problem has gone beyond elections... it has seeped into our future and how a majority of us are going to survive...
What we need to understand is that 20% of our population have enough money saved or in income to survive through any type of inflation without hardly ever noticing...
BUT, 80% of the population are the ones who get hurt financially... It is this 80% that is responsible for electing our leaders. We are easily influenced and we need to join together and stop this shit from happening again.
We need to find a way to save ourselves!!!!
What's Wrong With Illegal Immigration?
The Costs of Illegal Immigration
By draining public funds, creating unfair competition for jobs with America’s least prepared workers and thereby lowering wages and working conditions, and by imposing unwanted strains on services designed to provide assistance to Americans, illegal immigration causes harm to Americans and legal residents.
Illegal Aliens’ Numbers are Large and Growing
FAIR estimates there are between 10-12 million illegal aliens residing in the country in 2005. According to the Census Bureau, there were an estimated 8.7 million illegal aliens living in the United States in 2000. According to the Migration Policy Institute, roughly 500,000 illegal aliens are added to that population every year. The immigration authorities also estimate that there are over one million temporary illegal aliens, such as seasonal workers, here at any given time. The population of illegal aliens would be higher, but in 1986 our government gave amnesty to nearly three million illegal aliens, allowing them to become legal members of our society, and we have allowed additional millions to gain amnesty through other loopholes.
Illegal Immigration Undermines Legal Immigration.
There is a list of several million eligible people waiting to be legally admitted as immigrants to our country; some of them have been on that list for many years waiting for one of the numerically limited visas to become available. Illegal immigration makes a mockery of those people’s adherence to the rules and of our country’s sovereignty.

Illegal immigration makes a mockery of those people’s adherence to the rules and of our country’s sovereignty.
Illegal immigration harms the American workforce
According to a study in 1996 of the costs of illegal immigration by Rice Univ. economist, Dr. Donald Huddle, illegal aliens were displacing roughly 730,000 American workers every year, at a cost of about $4.3 billion a year, and the supply of cheap labor depresses the wages and working conditions of the working poor. The approximate doubling of the illegal alien population since the time of that estimate means that the number of jobs lost to American workers and the costs of displacement would also likely have more than doubled.

Illegal Immigration is a Burden on the Taxpayer
The costs of illegal immigration to the taxpayer are numerous, but the largest costs are the education of their children, emergency medical care and incarceration for those arrested for crimes. Despite being ineligible, some illegal aliens also get welfare the same way they get jobs: with identity documents falsely identifying them as U.S. citizens. In addition, if they have U.S.-born children, they may collect welfare assistance in the name of those children. The annual net cost of illegal immigrants (after subtracting their tax payments) to the American taxpayer is likely to be more than $45 billion. Our study of the net fiscal “The Costs of Illegal Immigration to Californians” estimated the partial costs at $10.5 billion in that state alone.

Our study of the net fiscal “The Costs of Illegal Immigration to Californians” estimated the partial costs at $10.5 billion in that state alone.
The Number of Deportations is Low
Compared to the size of the illegal alien population, the number of annual deportations is shockingly small. In fiscal year 2003, only 186,151 aliens were formerly removed.1 Many of the deportees are caught by the police after they have committed a crime. In FY’03, 39,600 of the deported aliens fell in that category. The federal Bureau of Prisons estimates that nearly three-tenths of its prisoners are aliens.

Recent Improvements Have Not Solved the Problem
Although the number of deported illegal aliens is more than triple the average during the 1990s, we are only treading water in a rising tide. The Department of Homeland Security has no plan for identifying and removing the bulk of the illegal alien population, whose number continues to rise. Most illegal aliens remain safe from capture and deportation unless they are arrested for a crime.

Some Aspects of INS Enforcement are Getting Worse
Stung by criticism from companies about worksite raids, often accompanied by criticism from elected representatives, the immigration authorities instituted in 1998 an innovation called “the Phoenix Plan.” Instead of raiding a company, they informed it on the basis of a review of employment documents that they appeared to have hired illegal alien workers, giving the companies the opportunity to dismiss the workers. When this happened, the workers were free to simply walk away with their counterfeit identity documents to another employer. The interior immigration inspectors have only the resources to focus on a few large violators at a time, so most illegal alien workers — and the companies that employ them — get off scot-free.

Amnesty is Not the Answer
As millions of illegal aliens are allowed to remain here year after year, pressure rises from immigrant advocates to grant them amnesty. But this is the equivalent of pardoning criminals en masse because it is easier than capturing them. It encourages further illegal immigration and, by creating new “legal” immigrants out of old illegal ones, adds dramatically to the backlog of relatives abroad who apply for legal admission. It also adds to the costs to the taxpayer, because when illegal aliens are given legal residence, they become eligible for additional tax-funded services.

It also adds to the costs to the taxpayer, because when illegal aliens are given legal residence, they become eligible for additional tax-funded services.
The answer is to deter further illegal immigration and to tackle the removal of the current illegal alien population by:
- Improving the security of personal identification systems and require verification of legal work status.
- Linking government databases on births, deaths, and immigration status.
- Tracking foreigners on temporary visas to assure they leave when required.
- Strengthening enforcement capabilities both on the border and in the interior of the country including the provision of more detention space for aliens pending deportation, and
- Developing additional cooperative federal-local immigration enforcement programs.
Critical to the success of the deterrence of further illegal immigration and reducing the current illegal alien population is single-minded support by our elected leaders for our immigration authorities in their law enforcement efforts.

The Crisis in America -- Weak Minded Americans
Inflation
Illegal Immigration
Illegal Drugs
Crime and Violence
War on Pretroleum Crude Oil
As Americans, we have a choice on which one we want to address first as well as a choice of not addressing any of these at all... it is our choice and we make that choice with our VOTES...
Our current situation reminds me of the advertising I saw a few years ago encouraging us to eat more and more food... and, then once we got obese, the commercials focused on weight loss... Americans were influenced by both those commercials...
This tells me how easily the general public can be manipulated by unorthodox people who claim to be leading us... but, what are they leading us into?
China makes the Fentanyl and the Mexican Drug Cartels bring it across the border and into the USA and Americans buy the drugs as if they are buying candy.
Again, how easily Americans are influenced...
- The Mexican Cartels take advantage of weak minded Americans
- The Democrats takes advantage of weak minded Americans
- Social Media takes advantage of weak minded Americans
- Marketing Execs take advantage of weak minded Americans
Root Causes of Illegal Immigration - US/Mexico Border Crisis
As Vice President Kamala Harris' endeavor to solve the "root causes" of the border crisis, one Texas Republican congressman told Fox News that Democrats at best pay lip service to the illegal immigrant deluge, while arguing that those who blame Republicans are lying.
Rep. Dan Crenshaw of suburban Houston told "The Story" Thursday it is frustrating to watch the Biden administration take actions to stop local and state officials from securing the border while they seem to do nothing.
He pointed to a legal complaint from the Justice Department claiming Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey's installation of shipping containers as a makeshift border wall lacks proper permitting and is "damaging the United States."
"So it seems that if the Biden administration is upset about the governor of one of our states putting shipping containers on federal land, you would also think that the president would be upset about an infringement on federal land in general, say, at our international borders," Crenshaw said.
"So they go through all this effort to attack a fellow American, Governor Ducey of Arizona because he's actually building a wall in his state. They go through all this effort to dismantle this and stop this effort, but they go through they put no effort into actually preventing illegal immigration [or] disincentivizing it."
Crenshaw noted Arizona lacks a water border with Mexico, making illegal immigration even easier than it has been shown to be in his own state. READ MORE...
End of 2022 - End of Trump
And yet, the Trump adminstration accomplished stuff that NO OTHER presidential administration has ever accomplished before...
So, why all this hatred of Trump?
- Covid was blamed on Trump
- Inflation was blamed on Trump
- Increase in illegal immigration was blamed on Trump
- Censorship of conservatives by Twitter was blamed on Trump
- Russian invasion of Ukraine was blamed on Trump
- Increased gasoline prices was blamed on Trump
- Supply chain shortages was blamed on Trump
- Racism in the US was blamed on Trump
- The need for CRT in schools was blamed of Trump
- White Supremacy was blamed on Trump
- Jan 6 riot was blamed on Trump and recommended DOJ indicments
Why is Trump seen as so evil?
Why is Trump feared so much?
Fearing Trump reminds me of illegal drugs coming into the US from China via the Mexican Drug Cartels... Illegal drugs entering the US are increasing... that means the supply of illegal drugs has increased... simply put, if the demand increases then the supply must increase as well otherwise the price increases and people buy less.
Why is the demand for illegal drugs increasing here in the US?
Isn't that more important than trying to keep Trump from running for President again. Even with Trump declaring to run, DeSantis will beat him in the primary... so, will the Dems try to discredit DeSantis next?And, who will they start blaming for their problems?
UNLESS... the Dems think they can continue to use abortion as their weapon in two years....
Forgetting all about:
- Inflation
- Immigration
- War on gasoline
- Growth of China
- Crime and Violence
- Increased Drug Addicts
- Racism and CRT Education
