De Facto Amnesty

Take a look at this video posted by the Border Patrol:

The first thing we can see is that steel slats are not a viable long-term solution because they are easily penetrable. The second and obvious problem is that once these invaders are apprehended, they immediately claim asylum and are therefore released into the country to pursue their end destinations. Question: What, exactly, is the point of the Border Patrol? Isn’t it a waste of resources to chase down invaders only to release them?

The fact is, we have a de facto amnesty situation on the ground right now.

Here’s what needs to happen:

  1. A large, tall, concrete wall needs to be built immediately along the portions of the border where people are coming in. If funding is an issue, force Mexico to pay for it by limiting trade between the countries. The sooner the wall is built, the sooner full trade will resume. If Mexico wants to trade with us, they need to help us with the border.
  2. Every one of these illegal immigrants is partaking in American society in some capacity. Either through employment, welfare, their kids are going to schools, etc. Every one of these instances can be targeted by the executive branch without needing an act of Congress. It’s simply a matter of enforcing the current immigration laws on the books. If someone employs an illegal immigrant, go after the employer. If an illegal alien is in school, go find his or her parents and deport the family.

The illegal (and legal) immigration situation is worse now than under any other administration. If something doesn’t change quick, we can expect states like Texas, Florida and North Carolina to forever vote Democrat. We can expect whites to become a minority in this country and shortly thereafter subjugated.  (Because nobody likes white people.) We can expect Honduras-like socialism to become the ruling system. And we can surely expect Brazil-like violence to become epidemic. All because certain people in positions to act decided not to act because they didn’t want to be mean.

Millions and millions of people are pouring into the country and completely transforming it into something else. People have got to put aside their political preferences and hold Trump’s feet to the fire and demand that he follow through on his campaign pledges that got him elected in the first place. If they don’t, their children and grandchildren are going to live just like they do in Brazil and Mexico and El Salvador.

School… or Zoo?

Next time somebody tells you that spending $15,000 per pupil per year isn’t enough money for “our schools”, just show them this video:

Miserere mei, Deus

Last week we took a listen to an example of the “music” that today’s culture-controllers are forcing on Americans.  It was base, filthy, of poor morals, and one couldn’t even distinguish a single English word in the lyrics.

To draw a comparison to a historical, European piece of music — which also doesn’t have a single English word — from a Christian era I’d like to present Gregorio Allegri’s Miserere mei, Deus.  Written for two, dis-located (i.e., physically separated) small choirs — one group of men, the other boys — it is an exemplary composition featuring Renaissance-era polyphonic chant.  Initially, it was only performed once a year and only in the Sistine Chapel — on Wednesday and Good Friday of Holy Week.  The text is from Psalm 50 (51), a penitential psalm written by David, providing a fitting setting for Good Friday.

Whenever I hear the modern narrative that life was terrible hundreds of years ago, and that our forefathers were primitive and stupid, and that the world was terrible when the Catholic Church had influence, I always come back to this musical piece.  Where is music and art like this in today’s world?

The following performance from the 1980s is by The Tallis Scholars.  There are alternate performances by King’s College Choir and the Choir of New College, Oxford.  Photos from St. Peter’s Basilica.

Miserere mei, Deus

Composer: Gregorio Allegri (1582 – 1652)
Text:  Psalm 50 (51)

Miserere mei, Deus: secundum magnam misericordiam tuam.
Et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem meam.
Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea: et a peccato meo munda me.
Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco: et peccatum meum contra me est semper.
Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci: ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum judicaris.
Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum: et in peccatis concepit me mater mea.
Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti: incerta et occulta sapientiae tuae manifestasti mihi.
Asperges me hysopo, et mundabor: lavabis me, et super nivem dealbabor.
Auditui meo dabis gaudium et laetitiam: et exsultabunt ossa humiliata.
Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis: et omnes iniquitates meas dele.
Cor mundum crea in me, Deus: et spiritum rectum innova in visceribus meis.
Ne proiicias me a facie tua: et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a me.
Redde mihi laetitiam salutaris tui: et spiritu principali confirma me.
Docebo iniquos vias tuas: et impii ad te convertentur.
Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus, Deus salutis meae: et exsultabit lingua mea justitiam tuam.
Domine, labia mea aperies: et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam.
Quoniam si voluisses sacrificium, dedissem utique: holocaustis non delectaberis.
Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus: cor contritum, et humiliatum, Deus, non despicies.
Benigne fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion: ut aedificentur muri Ierusalem.
Tunc acceptabis sacrificium justitiae, oblationes, et holocausta: tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos.

Have mercy on me, O God

Composer: Gregorio Allegri (1582 – 1652)
Text:  Psalm 50 (51)

Have mercy upon me, O God, after Thy great goodness
According to the multitude of Thy mercies do away mine offences.
Wash me thoroughly from my wickedness: and cleanse me from my sin.
For I acknowledge my faults: and my sin is ever before me.
Against Thee only have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that Thou mightest be justified in Thy saying, and clear when Thou art judged.
Behold, I was shapen in wickedness: and in sin hath my mother conceived me.
But lo, Thou requirest truth in the inward parts: and shalt make me to understand wisdom secretly.
Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Thou shalt make me hear of joy and gladness: that the bones which Thou hast broken may rejoice.
Turn Thy face from my sins: and put out all my misdeeds.
Make me a clean heart, O God: and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from Thy presence: and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.
O give me the comfort of Thy help again: and stablish me with Thy free Spirit.
Then shall I teach Thy ways unto the wicked: and sinners shall be converted unto Thee.
Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, Thou that art the God of my health: and my tongue shall sing of Thy righteousness.
Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord: and my mouth shall shew [show] Thy praise.
For Thou desirest no sacrifice, else would I give it Thee: but Thou delightest not in burnt-offerings.
The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit: a broken and contrite heart, O God, shalt Thou not despise.
O be favourable and gracious unto Sion: build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.
Then shalt Thou be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, with the burnt-offerings and oblations: then shall they offer young bullocks upon Thine altar.

Welcome to the Jungle

A couple of interesting stories came out this week about NYC public schools.  Both make it apparent that the Bronx Zoo now has better behaved animals.

The first is actually a good story, and shows a path that we need to consider exploring more frequently:  lawsuits.  A teacher won a “substantial” settlement from the Department of Education for being treated like a bag of garbage by her students and, implicitly, by the administration that allowed these students to run buckwild in her classroom.  And yes, ultimately this money comes from the taxpayers, but if there were enough successful settlements against these government schools, maybe people will finally be held accountable.  (Then again, this is America, which is now Clown World, so maybe not.)

An immigrant Bosnian city teacher who complained of horrific racial, sexual, and physical abuse from students has settled a lawsuit against the Department of Education, The Post has learned.

Aida Sehic and the DOE agreed to resolve the case this week for an undisclosed but “substantial” sum, according to her attorney, Bryan Glass.

Sehic’s Manhattan federal suit said students in Bronx and Manhattan schools cracked her nose with a bag of metal rulers, stabbed her with a mechanical pencil, routinely demanded sex acts, overturned her classroom and frequently called her a “white bitch.”

Sehic said she repeatedly sought relief from a range of sources, including school administrators, her union and even cops.

But there was little interest in her woes – and Sehic said she was instead targeted for termination because of her complaints and hit with disciplinary charges in 2016.

What lovely students she must have had.

The second story from the NY Post has direct feedback from NYC teachers themselves.  I think I would rather clean toilets at Taco Bell than deal with this crap:

“If I had a dime for every time I was told to suck something, I’d be a millionaire,” said a female Jamaica, Queens, high school teacher.

“You can’t even tell a student that they aren’t going to pass a test or a class anymore because they will go to an administrator and complain that you made them feel uncomfortable and we’ll get written up,” she added.

The situation is no better in elementary schools, a teacher at Staten Island’s PS 44 said.

“In the lunchroom, there are constant fights … I had to go to urgent care. I was kicked in the knee [by a student]. I was limping for a week. I had blocks thrown at me,” she said.

It wasn’t always so bad, a Manhattan junior high school teacher said.

“Before, you couldn’t get away with saying ‘F you’ to a teacher or ‘Suck my d–k.’ But now there is no accountability,” she said.

Imagine somebody who has the desire to be a teacher.  She studies, gets the requisite certifications, lands the job and prepares her teaching materials.  She’s motivated by the desire to go into that school and show the kids how to explore, learn, grow and become wholesome, productive citizens for our country.  And on her first day she walks into her kindergarten classroom and some kid tells her to “Suck my d–k”.

That’s the New America.

Many moons ago the public schools were integrated at the end of a barrel of a gun.  The federal government literally sent the military to many states and forced the schools to be integrated.  How’s that working out now that discipline has regressed to the natural state of the jungle?

 

Muslim Criticizes Jews, Whites Blamed

To give an idea of just how little representation whites have in their own country, consider the bizarre case of uppity Muslim House Representative Ilhan Omar criticizing dual loyalty in the US Congress and the Congress responding by passing a resolution condemning white supremacy:

Whereas white supremacists in the United States have exploited and continue to exploit bigotry and weaponized hate for political gain, targeting traditionally persecuted peoples, including African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and other people of color, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, the LGBTQ community, immigrants, and others with verbal attacks, incitement, and violence.

In that long list of “victims that need to be defended from acts of bigotry”, do you happen to notice which group was excluded?

On the one hand, I must give the Democrats credit.  After Omar’s controversy, they circled the wagons, protected her, took hold of the issue and turned this resolution into another chance to brow-beat whites who were simply watching on the sidelines.

Compare it to how the Republicans treated Steve King when he said that, perhaps, Western Civilization is kind of good and stuff.  Immediately they took to Twitter to denounce him.  The House Minority Leader went all over the Sunday morning talk shows to grovel and explain that “that’s not who we are”.  Then they proceeded to pass a resolution 424-1 denouncing… you guess it!  White supremacy!

Putting aside this obvious clown world state of things, what about the content of Omar’s criticism?

Let us say that there was a foreign country — say, Russia or Japan — that had one of the most powerful lobbies in the country, such that every presidential candidate must go before the lobby and pledge his obeisance to this foreign country with a speech detailing how his (or her) presidency would be good for that foreign country.  Imagine if most members of Congress took money from this lobby.  Imagine if criticizing this lobby would result in widespread condemnation from all sides.  Imagine if US foreign policy in the region where this foreign country lies was dictated not by the will of the people, but by what would most benefit this foreign country, including deployment of troops for wartime activities.  Now imagine that there were members of the US Congress that had DUAL CITIZENSHIP with this foreign country.

Does anybody think that would fly if it was any country other than Israel?

I don’t know any serious nation in the world that allows its representatives to be dual citizens.

After Omar made her comments, President Trump tweeted that it was “a dark day for Israel!”  It’s been a dark day in America ever since our border has been trespassed with millions of annual invaders.  But I don’t see anybody doing anything about it.  Trump said that he has now reversed his decision and will be keeping some troops in Syria “to protect Israel”.   The American people don’t want our troops in Syria.  That has been said over and over again.  Why does Israel get to veto the foreign policy wishes of the American people?  Are we allowed to have any say at all in our government?

Has the United States become a vassal country of Israel?  It doesn’t seem that far-fetched.

Once you see it, you can’t un-see it.

 

The Best Economy Ever? For Who?

Below there is some interesting analysis of the job growth for 2018. Of the 1.8 million new jobs, only 60,000 went to American born men. The rest were split between American women and foreigners.

Surely we are graduating more than 60,000 male students every year? Where are they getting jobs? Simple answer: they aren’t. Because foreigners are the preferred source of labor, since they’re cheap.

And now President Trump is saying on a regular basis that we need to increase the number of LEGAL immigrants to help companies looking for workers. Is this what putting America First looks like?

Has Trump completely abandoned the MAGA agenda?

Institution of Higher Learning

This is what goes on at “colleges” these days. The College Republicans were starting a presentation and some dimwit came in ringing a cowbell and got it shut down. You’ll notice that Portland and campus police were both on hand and did absolutely nothing. (Again, I continue to repeat over and over again: the police in this country have absolutely failed the loyalty test. They are not on your side. And we would be wise to make preparations with this fact in mind.)

Folks… THE WHOLE WORLD is laughing at us. Does anybody for a moment think a country like China is worried about us? Do you think they fear us?

Now where is that executive order defending free speech on campus that Trump threatened to write? Or was that another empty threat like his executive order to ban birthright citizenship?

It is past time we abandon all of these false pretenses about “free speech”. The Left never believed in free speech. They just wanted this fabricated “right” blown wide-open so that they could use it to subvert the order and take control, and then shut everyone else down.

Conservatism, Inc.

“Too much capitalism does not mean too many capitalists, but too few capitalists.” — G.K. Chesterton

I read today that the Republicans and President Trump are eager to make their opponents’ “socialism” the big issue of the 2020 campaign.  They think that’s a slam-dunk talking point for the modern era.

They might want to look at this poll:

After running a phenomenal campaign in 2016 on the following anti-Establishment themes:  America First, halting immigration, ending foreign wars, re-balancing trade deals, jobs for Americans — the Republicans think that hammering socialism and talking up corporate tax cuts are winning issues for 2020.  It’s the proverbial losing strategy of Conservatism, Inc.

What can explain the reason that the younger generations are taking on more favorable views of socialism?  There are many factors, but consider two.  The first is that the younger generations are simply less white.  The youngest cohort is now majority minority.  Whites are a simple minority.  And more often, those younger generations come from Central and South America, where socialism is common.  When they cross the border into the US, they don’t suddenly become constitutional conservatives.

But what explains the move for whites?  The answer is somewhat simple:  less opportunity.  The system is simply not working for them and they’ve become disaffected.  They come out of college with $150k in loan debt and the only jobs they can find are $10 / hour part-time jobs at Starbucks.  They see that Jeff Bezos makes a trillion dollars an hour and they get bitter about their circumstances.  They can’t live like Americans did in the 1950s; those days are long gone.  There are no factories anymore.  Many of the trade jobs are taken by immigrants now.  Even many of the white-collar jobs like computer and IT work are taken by immigrants.  There’s nothing out there for them.  They’re giving up.  Buying a home and raising a family is out of reach.  Many are just committing suicide.

Of the two popular campaigns in 2016 — Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump — which one better diagnosed the problems and offered realistic solutions?  I think Trump’s campaign did.  The campaign laid the blame at our “free” trade deals that allowed companies to shut down factories here and build products in China, then ship them back here tariff-free.  Our wide-open immigration system has dramatically depressed wages and reduced job opportunities for Americans (increase labor supply and wages go down — it’s just a simple law of economics).  If you bring the factories back and eliminate immigration, you can get more, higher-paying jobs in America; and average, working class Americans begin to share more in the wealth and success of the country.  Sanders, on the other hand, proposed raising taxes on the rich, free healthcare, and a $15 minimum wage.  I don’t see how that even begins to address the fundamental problems.

Unfortunately, because Trump and the Republicans have refused to follow through on doing those things that could re-distribute wealth organically through the free market system, socialism will end up winning out in the end.  It’s a certainty.  You can’t have the kind of wealth and power disparity that has developed in the US without some kind of revolution following.

Did the organizers of CPAC understand this?  It doesn’t look like it.  From what I read, the big topics there were Reagan conservatism, the Constitution, and Israel — all of the totally out-of-sync, Boomer-era issues of Conservatism, Inc.  I heard they had three panels discussing Israel and one on immigration, and the one related to immigration was about how much conservatives love LEGAL immigration.  (You see, to Conservatism, Inc., when the entire nation is being transformed by foreign cultures and its native population is forced onto welfare it’s completely okay as long as it’s done LEGALLY.)  Unsurprisingly, the themes on display at CPAC were controlled by those who brought the big money.  That’s why Ann Coulter was not invited to speak.  They couldn’t have somebody up there criticizing LEGAL immigration.

Here’s the path to victory:  Become a nationalist. Forget Democrat and Republican, liberal and conservatism.  Focus on America First.  Forget about the Israeli lobby and start focusing on the American Worker lobby.  Halt immigration and kick out the ones on work visas that are taking American jobs.  Bring the manufacturing industry back.  Make good-paying jobs for these kids so that when they come out of school they can hit the ground running.  That’s how you win them over.

But if you fall back to all the loser issues of the Republican Party establishment — the very ones that Jeb! and Marco Rubio lost with in 2016 — not only will you lose political control, but you will lose the entire country.

“But at least they came here LEGALLY!”

Trump on Thin Ice

I’ve taken an interest over the past couple of years of reading the various forums and social media sites to get an idea of which way the political winds are blowing, and I have to say that in the past six months or so I’m seeing a lot of frustration with President Trump’s lack of action.  And, perhaps more aggravating is the fact that he continues to surround himself with anti-MAGA people in the White House resulting in an anti-MAGA agenda.  While I do think that there will always be a core group of Trump supporters who will stay with him through thick and thin, I do predict that as time goes on his shine will wear off as patience runs thin.

Consider this outright lie he told at CPAC:

There is no way to spin this as anything other than him trying to betray his base by catering to the agenda of the Chamber of Commerce and hoping that his supporters will follow him. (And, based on the cheers, to some degree I suspect this tactic will work.)

There are a couple of problems here. First, the economy is not doing as well as he repeatedly says. It is moving at about the same pace as Obama’s final years, and the numbers are not that impressive. In fact, we know the official unemployment numbers are bogus. They were bogus under the Obama years, and they are now. They don’t take into account those who have given up looking for work, or those who are underemployed. The truth is that Americans are having a hard time finding work out of college and wages are stagnant for non-Hispanics.

Second, can you imagine the balls on this guy to say that we’re going to open new factories in this country and go find immigrants abroad to fill those jobs? What about putting Americans first? Are Americans allowed to be employed?

Then you have the reports that illegal immigration through the Southern border is reaching all-time highs. The DHS has just extended a “temporary” amnesty for 300,000 foreign nationals. The President is calling for an increase in “legal” immigration. What the hell is going on here? Catch and release has now been put on steroids:

They’re being put on planes and launched into communities all across the nation. This isn’t under Obama — this is Trump.

During the campaign, Trump tapped into the anger of the American people over the immigration issue and now he thinks it’s wise to laugh in our faces and pivot to a pro-immigration agenda to satisfy the establishment globalists?

In Wisconsin, the governor has announced that illegal immigrants will be getting ID cards so that their presence can be legitimized by the government:

What good are Voter ID laws if the government issues IDs to illegal immigrants? And notice how the governor admits that a purpose of allowing these illegals is to “strengthen our economy” (read: push Americans out of jobs and suppress wages).

Sen. Rand Paul has said that he will vote against Trump’s national emergency declaration but made a proposal to tax every legal immigrant $2,500 on entry to help fund the border wall. How stupid does he think we are to believe that Congress would ever pass such legislation? The fact that Congress refuses to fund the border wall in the first place is why Trump signed a national emergency. All he is doing is agitating the American people all the more.

As time goes on, Americans are not going to become more enamored with immigration. The problems that mass immigration brings are only going to get worse and worse. And Americans are only going to get angrier and angrier and angrier with their government until…

America First or…?

The current Speaker of the House has showed where her sympathies lie:

Is there any doubt about who runs this government?
