The first presidential debate of 2024.

I'll be honest. I didn't have much expectations on this debate for 3 reasons:

CNN

Dana Nash &

Jake Tapper.

None of whom are "big Trump fans".

A week of preparation for Biden and even on his own turf, blundered and failed miserably. Imagine what his performance would have looked like if he came unprepared.

Trump came out fighting. He called out Biden's border policy and the deaths that border policy caused. He forced Biden to admit the inflation was on his watch. Plus much more. Clearly Trump won this round. 

Rumors are abound that CNN essentially gave this one to Trump. The idea is to give the DNC an excuse to nominate someone other then Biden. We shall see. On to the second debate.

TREASON! Biden should be in prison.

Biden committed Treason in the first 100 days in office. He continues to commit treason every day. How can I make such a bold claim? Simple, he violated his constitutional duties to keep the borders secure. He allowed mass illegals to flood our nation. However, he not only committed treason in this act, He's also possibly an accessory to murder and rape by the simple act of allowing these illegals into the country. 

More blood on the hands of Presidents Obama, Biden and those members of Congress who continue to trade lives of Americans in order to pander to illegal alien criminals and their ethnocentric special interest groups. 

Patty Morin, Mother of Rape and Murder victim Rachel Morin, stated it best. “It’s like they’re pretending these immigration problems don’t exist and people aren’t being harmed and killed by their policies, The victims are those that are being killed but also their loved ones that they’ve left behind. It’s devastating to the community.” She is Absolutely correct, Biden and the democrats don't care about these American lives. Their hunger for absolute power is insanity.

Under Biden's Open border policy, among the victims of Illegal aliens are:

Walter Wishoski Jr., 77 - struck by Drunk Illegal Alien Driver

(No image available)

Alex Wise Jr., 10 - killed by Drunk Illegal Alien Driver

Maria Gonzalez, 11 - Raped and murdered by illegal alien

Aiden Clark, 11 - killed by Drunk Illegal Alien Driver

Travis Wolfe, 12 - automobile accident involving Illegal Alien

Kayla Hamilton, 19 - Raped and murdered by illegal alien 

Laken Riley, 22 - Raped and murdered by illegal alien 

Lizbeth Medina, 16 - murdered by illegal alien

Rachel Morin, 37 - Raped and Murdered by illegal alien 

Jocelyn Nungaray, 12, was raped and murdered by 2 illegal Aliens.

UPDATE: More victims added:

Ian Matteo Garcia, 6 - Murdered by Illegal Alien.

Erpharo Gilbert, 46 - Murdered by Illegal Alien.

Maria Rios, 57 - Murdered by Illegal Alien.

Diane Hill Luckett, 67 - Murdered by Illegal Alien.

Julisa Molina Rivera, 31 - Sonia Argentina Guzman, 25 - Diana Velazquez Alvarado, 31 - Jose Jonathan Casarez, 18 and Daniel Enrique Laso, 9 - Murdered by Illegal Alien.

Jonathan Diller, 31 - Murdered by Illegal Alien

Valerie Reyes, 24 - Murdered by Illegal Alien

Ruby Garcia, 25 - Murdered by Illegal Alien

Biden's illegal alien death toll adds up.

Just to be clear to President Biden, these countries don't want their best coming to America. They send their criminals so that they won't have to deal with them. At what cost? LIVES you took an oath to protect. You are failing miserably.

The Border MUST be secured. Illegals MUST be deported! Joe Biden and the Democrats are NOT the ones to do it! Joe Biden and the Democrats CREATED this mess!

Liberals quickly point out that "the Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act" was blocked by Trump and republican leaders. The reason is simple, the act does not close the border.

The bill stated that temporary border emergency authority would be automatically activated by the Department of Homeland Security secretary if there is an average of 5,000 or more migrant encounters a day over seven consecutive days — or if there are 8,500 or more such encounters on any single day. 

The problem is, there shouldn't be a "Set number" before DHS does it's job. It should be done at 1, not 5,000. That is called a closed border. 

But a bill isn't really needed. The president has ALWAYS had the power to close the border. Joe Biden refuses to do so.

No Muslim nation wants Palestinians.

Nikki Haley asked the Islamic countries why they are not opening up their gates for Palestinian civilians from Gaza. 

She claimed that the Arab nations are not allowing the Palestinians because they know they "can't vet them" and they don't want "Hamas in their neighborhoods," asserting that "if Arab nations don't want them, then why would Israel?"

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi recently said that the current war is also an "attempt to push the civilian inhabitants to... migrate to Egypt".  

Jordan's King Abdullah II gave a similar message, as he said, "No refugees in Jordan, no refugees in Egypt." 

Since Hamas took control of Gaza in 2007, Egypt has helped maintain a blockade of the strip, sealing off its border and imposing tight controls over the passage of goods and people through Rafah. 

El-Sissi warned about the destruction of Egypt and Israel's 1979 peace deal. Stating that with the presence of Palestinian militia, Sinai "would become a base for attacks on Israel. Israel would have the right to defend itself and would strike Egyptian territory".  He would be right on that assessment as Sinai is part of Egypt.

He added that "the peace which we have achieved would vanish from our hands, all for the sake of the idea of eliminating the Palestinian cause".  That's Just Egypt alone. What of other Muslim nations?

Since 2011, the Egyptian military and police have battled ISIS-affiliated militants. The fear is that incoming Hamas militants could bring further instability to the region.

Sisi also generally views Hamas, an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, suspiciously, with Cairo considering it a potential security threat.

So this is the last thing Sisi wants, both from a security perspective and from a political perspective, but, ultimately understanding Jordan and Egypt's firm stances requires an overall appreciation of the context.

You cannot understand the Palestinian refugee question while not at the same time also understanding the broader historical, political, and legal circumstances surrounding the issue.

This fear of being displaced is a significant feature of the Palestinian condition. Many of the Palestinians who live in Jordan, Egypt, and elsewhere in the region first arrived there after being displaced in 1948, or following the Six-Day War in 1967.

If you look at it purely from a humanitarian angle, you know a temporary displacement into Sinai would make the delivery of humanitarian assistance much, much easier, but on the other hand, we know it would not be temporary."

It is against this backdrop that Egypt and Jordan would not want to be seen accepting displaced Palestinians because "they don't want to be complicit to another catastrophe.

Let's keep in mind these Pro-Palestinian protesters have NO IDEA what they are actually calling for. If Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Syria or any other Arab/Muslim country won't accept Palestinians, why should we? Why should Israel?

Vetting is another main reason why they won't accept Palestinians, yet Joe Biden has no problem letting unvetted illegal aliens into our country.

What it's all about

 Now that Trump has been convicted and is awaiting appeal, Liberals are already out in force saying he can't run for President (yes he can, the constitution says so) ,that he can't vote (more on that later in this blog post), That he can't own a gun (I don't recall Trump ever saying he owned a gun) or...wait for this...He can't get Security Clearance.

Let me address the Presidency issue...that was covered in my previous post (Trump is convicted, how can he still run for president?) 

Next is the vote issue, Florida will follow New York law since Trump was convicted there. New York law states a convicted felon CAN vote as long as they are not incarcerated. In other words, if he's not in prison, he can vote.) Trump has no previous felonies, so the likelihood of any prison time is pretty remote. More likely he would be fined and/or placed on probation. This would still give him the ability to vote.

I'm not even going to address the Gun issue because I don't think it matters here as (to my knowledge) Trump doesn't own a gun.

FINALLY we get to the security clearance. IF Trump wins the presidency (Which is still very much possible), He AUTOMATICALLY gets security clearance.

The very fact these liberals are saying all this just proves one thing. It's not about a crime being committed, it's about keeping Trump out of the White House.

Trump is convicted, how can he still run for president?

 Simple! Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution lays down the requirements for President. 

"No person, except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of Thirty five years, and been fourteen years a Resident within the United States."

There's just three requirements, No part of the Constitution says people who have been convicted of crimes can't run for president.

Another thing to consider is the records could not have been falsified to defraud the voters in the 2016 election, because the Falsification was said to take place the following year in 2017. The election was over and the records were not made public.

The jury instructions given by Judge Juan Merchan dramatically favored the prosecution, telling them that while they had to unanimously conclude that Trump caused a false business entry to be made for the purpose of concealing "another crime."

They did not have to be unanimous as to what that other crime was. This will be one of the many issues that Trump’s legal team will raise on appeal. I would not be surprised if this conviction gets overturned, but that is not likely to happen before the election.

Calls for a SCOTUS Hearing

 A few years ago an upside down American flag was flown at Justice Alito's home. Many rather uninformed democrats referred to it as an "Insurrection Flag".

On twitter, I was quick to point out that there is no such thing as an "insurrection flag". Flying a flag upside down was a sign of distress. I also pointed out BLM protesters doing the same thing (but worse) during the "Summer of Love" protests as shown below:

These BLM Protesters viewed the death of George Floyd as a form of distress, so at least these people knew what it meant (Albeit, burning the flag and writing on the flag was going to extremes). Liberals would be the first to say BLM Protests were not insurrection. But yet liberals call Justice Alito's Flag, (Alito knows the laws better then these liberals), an "insurrection flag". The sole reason is his political leanings. He's a conservative, those pictured above are leftist Marxists who align with Democrats.

There are now calls made by some Leftists saying the Senate needs to hold hearings on the Supreme Court. This won't happen because the constitution states there are 3 separate but equal branches of federal government:, The Executive (President), The Legislative (Congress) and the Judicial (Supreme Court).  Article 1 of The Constitution lays out the roles and Responsibilities of Congress. It does not grant Congress the power to interfere with the Judicial (Supreme Court). Except in the process of CONFIRMING a justice, That's it!

Article 2 of the constitution lays out the roles and responsibilities of the President and Vice President. Like Congress, the President can name a Justice to fill a vacancy, then it goes to Congress to confirm it, Like Congress, that's the limit of their power with regard to the Supreme Court.

Article 3 Lays out the Roles and Responsibilities of the Judicial branch. Like the other two branches, they are limited in their power over the others.

In short, Congress makes laws, the President Passes or Vetoes a law and the Judicial INTERPRET the laws and rule according to the Constitution.

Here is a Link to the Constitution for review.

In summary there is no law in the Constitution denying the Justices or their families freedom of expression as guaranteed in the 1st amendment of the Constitution, no more then the same freedoms exercised by BLM protesters. and the constitution lays out separation of powers among the three branches to keep each one from overpowering the others.

 

Palestine claims to the land of Israel.

 

(Originally posted in my Christian blog)

Palestine, an Islamic "nation". Claims to be the original occupiers of the land of Israel. Islam is the youngest of 3 Abrahamic religions, formed 7 CENTURIES after Christianity. That's 700 years.

In the 1st century B.C.E., (800 years before Islam) the Kingdom of Judea was conquered by the Roman Empire. There is no historical dispute that in both the early Roman period and the Greek period, most of the Jewish people lived in the Land of Israel.

For the Romans, the name "Palestine" had nothing to do with modern-day Palestinians, who of course did not even remotely exist at the time. The Romans knew the coastal region of the Land of Israel as "Palestine," which was named after the ancient Philistine people who once inhabited the coastal territory of the Land of Israel.

A 2019 DNA study of skeletons exhumed from Philistine tombs in the coastal Israeli cities of Ashdod and Ashkelon found that the Philistines come from a "southern European gene pool." In other words, the ancient Philistines have no genetic relation whatsoever to the modern Palestinian-Arabs.

Before the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, the only people who called themselves "Palestinians" were the Jews. Many Zionist and Jewish organizations in Israel even incorporated the name Palestine into their names.

A mandate to rule the Land of Israel—the British Mandate for Palestine, from the ancient Roman name—was given to the British (among other areas). A mandate was given for a limited time, with the aim of preparing the local people for eventual independence and self-rule. 

Islamic Palestine has never existed. The Jewish people are the rightful owners of Israel. They were there CENTURIES before Islam even existed.
