American communities are being hard hit with increasing violent crimes, and too many Democrat politicians don’t seem to think they have any solutions, except for one! Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez announced publicly that the way to stop violent crime is to stop building jails and start building hospitals. Without question, not building jails is definitely one way to reduce the number of people being held in jails! A variety of New York City Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Rep. Jamaal Bowman, also attending this public announcement. She also thinks we should pay community organizers. (Isn’t that part of the Democrat Party’s system of operations, as Obama was a “community organizer” before becoming a politician.). What she really is doing is trying to “earmark” money for a hospital in her district.
Stephen Parr explains AOC’s idea of building fewer jails is not new, and definitely not a good idea! California had not build new prisons since the 1960’s and by the 1980’s, it had a serious over-population prison problem. So California decided build about half as many new prisons as it then actually needed. By 2011, the US Supreme Court ruled California inmates’ 8th Amendment Rights were being violated by the extreme overcrowding. Louis Avallone also points out that 88 politicians have been murdered in Mexico since September, 2020! The lawlessness at the Southern Border, the Defund the Police movement, the irrational idea of building fewer prisons, and other destabilizing issues could make America an even more dangerous place. Politicians are putting even themselves at risk.
If you have lived long enough, you have had opportunities to learn first-hand that life is not always fair. Everyone must deal with adversity at some point along the way. Our American Mama, Teri Netterville, shares her personal understanding that all of our “greats” in America have had to deal with adversity at some point. The keys are their perseverance of not giving up and their reliance on their God for support to get through the adversity. As Babe Ruth said, “It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up.” Look for books about such Greats and start building your own personal library of inspiration.
Power Causes Brain Damage….Power affects the part of the brain that processes empathy; so as you get power and you believe you deserve the power you have, your brain loses its ability to have empathy for other people. An excellent example of this is our Exhibit A: “Lord” Anthony Fauci, who lied, and as a result, people died.
Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel has notified the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) that unless substantial changes are made well in advance of any future Presidential elections, she will have “no choice but to advise future Republican candidates against participating in CPD-hosted debates.” Presidential Debates are supposed to be a non-partisan and federally funded, but there is a long history of both the moderators and the CPD being very pro-Democrat, election after election. Journalist Yashar Ali said, “The people who make critical decisions about the country’s presidential debates—events that impact how Americans will vote or if they vote at all—are, for the most part, elites who are part of the D.C.-New York clique known as the swamp,”
Even with huge financial loses, professional sports just continues to “Be Woke”. Apparently, either they are too rich or don't learn from previous mistakes! Just respect the American Flag, the American Anthem, the American Military, and play ball. That is all we ask. Why would that be so hard for a bunch of rich athletes to do?
In response to the NYT’s 1619 Project to rewrite American History in a way that is not factually true, President Trump created the 1776 Commission in September, 2020. The 1776 Commission produced a report promoting Patriotic Education just before Biden was sworn in. It denounced identity politics, including Critical Race Theory, and focused on the self-evident truth that we are all created equal. Biden almost immediately removed the report from the White House website; but so many had already downloaded and then re-uploaded the report, making it impossible to “kill”. And the 1776 Commission members are determined to continue meeting to complete their work.
