President Trump, I know you’ve assembled a team of advisors and policy people. Amidst the din of opinions, I offer mine in the just cause of restoring our Republic.
Immigration
Those who wish to immigrate to the U.S. must do so legally, assimilate fully into our society and culture, learn and speak English as part of that process, be self-supporting and have something to offer their new county (no government welfare, subsidies or benefits) and be grateful to be here.
Muslims fail on most of these points.
As you’ve already put into motion, the borders need to be secured. Those here illegally need to be repatriated back to their countries of origin. Those who return after being deported should face mandatory and exponentially increasing penalties.
Companies that employ illegals need to be heavily fined. Repeat offenders should lose their business licenses. Babies born to parents illegally in this country have no citizenship here. To claim otherwise is a puzzling idea that even third world countries don’t endorse within their own borders. Said folly certainly isn’t in the Constitution.
I know what the liberals say but we’ve agreed to ignore them. Run over them like they’ve run over the country every time they get into power.
Those who as a matter of local or state policy violate federal immigration laws need to be held criminally liable. Sanctuary cities? Arrest those providing sanctuary. Mayors, police chiefs, whoever.
Thank you for addressing the invasion of Islamists. These are not refugees, they’re jihadists, cultural, stealth or otherwise. What they’re doing to Europe is the same for every continent that’s been foolish enough to allow them a foothold. Muslims don’t assimilate, they annihilate indigenous cultures with the ultimate goal of instituting Sharia Law over a conquered people.
“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Quran is the highest authority in America, and Islam is the only accepted religion on earth.” – Omar Ahmad, founder of the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)
Historically, the only way to successfully deal with Islam is to forcefully confront and repulse it.
Muslims trying to claim refugee status can immigrate to other Muslim nations. There are 57 of them to choose from. Those that are already here by Obama’s efforts need to repatriated back to their countries of origin as well. That’s right, we need a complete prohibition on Muslim immigration.
Further, The Muslim Brotherhood and its propaganda arm, CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) should be designated terrorist organizations.
To the likes of those “protesters” who want to commit suicide by Islam, take your whining selves to a Muslim nation and do it there. You’re not taking me, or what’s left of my culture and country down with you.
Abortion
Ban it for the murder that it is. Defunding Planned Parenthood is great intermediate step and long overdue. It’s a national shame that they ever received tax dollars in the first place. The blood of nearly sixty million aborted babies cries out for justice to the God of Heaven. Nothing is lost or forgotten before Him.
“I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that his justice cannot sleep forever.” —Thomas Jefferson
Education
The public education system is a disaster. It’s become the primary recruiting ground for the enemies of our nation, twisting the minds of generations of American youth with Marxist, atheistic philosophy. Kids are told what to think, not taught how to think. The left knows the value of such indoctrination, as stated by one of their heroes.
“Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” —Vladimir Lenin, communist founder of the Soviet Union
Lenin only needed four years, many American kids are enduring at least 12 years of communist-style programming. The ones who go on to higher education, I mean indoctrination, get additional years with college professors, many of which should be inmates at an asylum rather than on university tenure.
The results of this liberal brainwashing has been on petulant display since the night of your election. It’s a mind-boggling proposition; young adults going into debt to have their intellects retarded while being infused with the emotional stability of a two year-old who just lost their balloon.
The system must be gutted of Marxist teachers, professors and influences. Tenure needs to be done away with. Teachers of our youth should have to earn their place, year by year. Foreign money used to influence US education curriculum and policies must be banned. Textbooks need to be stripped of anti-US, anti-capitalist content. And yes, we need prayer to the God of the Bible back in schools.
A Christian worldview should be the overarching theme in education, though personal acceptance of the faith can never be mandated. Those of anti-Christian theory can individually practice the tolerance that they preach for others, allowing them to function harmoniously in our reformed, vastly improved education system.
Judiciary
One of the most damaging and widely accepted “progressive” lie is that we have three separate but coequal branches of government. Three branches, yes, separate, yes, coequal, no. In order of authority we have the Legislative, Executive and the Judiciary. The judiciary is the weakest of the three, tasked to give opinions on the law, based on the law. Not write or rewrite law. Not offer personal opinion as law.
Activist judges have been tearing the heart out of the rule of law; inventing “rights” that oppose precedent and original intent, thereby ignoring plainly written law. A law cannot mean two completely opposite things. Why then is there division in court rulings? Why are there 5-4 decisions?
Answer: because the enemies of this nation appoint liberal judges to change the laws they dislike but can’t alter through the legislative process. This is nothing less than judicial usurpation of power not granted by the Constitution. Far from the often heralded system of “checks and balances” envisioned by our founders, we suffer under the judicial tyranny of unelected ideologues.
You’d think that impartiality and fidelity to the law are the most important factors when selecting a judge. Nope. It’s all about political views and how creative a jurist can be in warping a law to fit a desired outcome.
The abominations of abortion and homosexual marriage were not made law through the proscribed legislative process but by the actions of judges coupled with the utter cowardice of unprincipled politicians who allowed their legally groundless opinions to stand as law.
Liberals today openly attack the judicial philosophy known as “originalist”. An originalist view is one that the Constitution’s meaning was fixed at the time it was written. As the late Justice Antonin Scalia said, “It says what it says and doesn’t say what it doesn’t say.” There is no other sane way of thinking other than following the law as written.
Unless you’re a liberal intent on destroying the Republic.
They want to interpret the Constitution to mean something other than what it says, calling it a “living document” which they can alter by judicial decree. Anyone holding this view is unfit for public office and should be disqualified from the judicial bench.
Such judicial malfeasance must be addressed at every level, including the Supreme Court.
Voting
Voter fraud is Democratic institution unto itself, going back many years. When 248 voting districts in Detroit, as just one example, had more votes cast in 2016 than there were registered voters, there’s a problem.
Voter ID is an absolute must. The only reason to oppose voter ID is to foment fraudulent voting. Eliminate early voting and greatly restrict absentee balloting to the likes of overseas workers, military and support personnel. If getting a valid photo ID or being in your district on voting day is too great an inconvenience, maybe you shouldn’t vote.
There should be a linked database to verify voter eligibility around the nation. It’s outrageous that millions of dead people, illegal aliens and multiply-registered people cast votes.
Military
This is pretty straightforward. Eliminate the “social engineering” of the Obama years and get back to training to win wars. No women in combat, no transvestites in the military. The issue of allowing open homosexuals to serve needs to be deep-sixed as well. This nation needs soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines, not cupcakes in camouflage.
Israel and their/our enemies
There is no peaceful coexistence with Islam, and there never has been. Consequently, there’s no land for peace with the so-called Palestinians. Simply stated, Muslims want all of Israel and the Jews completely annihilated. Any concessions they can get are merely appeasement steps working towards this goal. In point of fact, there was never a nation or culture called Palestine. Those claiming to be Palestinian are predominately Arabs who are predominantly Muslim. So too there is no West Bank, it’s always been Judea and Samaria.
As long as there is Islam, there will be no peace with Israel or the rest of the world for that matter. Pray for the peace of Israel.
Rule of Law and Sedition
Many are the crimes committed over the past eight years with arrogance and impunity. It’s past time for a reckoning. Eric Holder’s “Fast and Furious” gun-running to Drug Cartels and the IRS targeting of conservative groups immediately come to mind.
Lois Lerner should be “retired” to a federal penitentiary, not living off a fat IRS pension. Her boss, IRS chief John Koskinen should be fired and his role in Lerner’s crimes investigated.
Unseal Obama’s sealed records as a matter of national security. Let’s find out what he’s hiding. If it turns out Obama was constitutionally unqualified to hold the office of president, then all of his actions and appointments are null and void. This issue needs to be put to rest with finality.
And how about a real investigation into the Clinton Foundation and Hillary’s illegal email server? Again, let the facts determine the outcome; innocence or guilt.
Sedition, according to Merriam-Webster, is incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.
The First Amendment to the Constitution recognizes “the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” Rioting, assaults, destroying property, and blocking roads aren’t part of a peaceful assembly. Individually, these are crimes. When organized and instituted for the sake of attacking our Republic, it’s sedition.
Who’s paying for these violent protestors? People and organizations responsible need to be arrested and held accountable. Even and especially if they’re named George Soros, Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton.
Obamacare
Don’t replace it, quit trying to modify it. Just repeal it. We had health insurance and healthcare long before Obamacare. Nothing was broken until Obama and the Democrat-controlled congress forced the Affordable Care Act on us.
In Conclusion
To make America great again is to appeal to He who made us great in the first place.
“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.” (Ecclesiastes 12:13)
President Trump, the best thing you can do for America is also the best thing you can do for yourself; accept Jesus as not only your Savior, but your Lord as well. Make God the priority in your life to the salvation of your soul and the benefit of this country.
Anything less is man’s effort which no matter how well-intentioned, is imperfect, often corrupt and doomed to fail.
