It’s December. The cold winds are blowing and darkness comes early. Worker productivity drops across the board except for the one class of workers who don’t work any other time of the year.
Congress.
With the midterm elections in the rearview mirror, the Senate is a furious hive of activity, dirty deals and furious negotiations as its small membership uses the opportunity created by the incoming House Republican majority to rush legislation through the lame duck session.
A dozen Senate Republicans already voted to abolish the Defense of Marriage Act, eliminating both marriage and religious freedom in one fell swoop, just as the Supreme Court was moving to protect it. Some of the senators then had the chutzpah to claim that they did it to protect religious freedom. The betrayal is bad enough, treating voters like bamboozled idiots is worse.
And that’s just the beginning of the lame duck sellout session.
Senate Republican RINOs are rushing through their betrayals while they hope no one is paying attention. Next up is amnesty for illegal aliens. Every time you hear about secret negotiations to reach a deal on immigration, it’s always the same damn sellout that it’s been for decades.
The latest incarnation of “immigration reform” once again promises more money for “border security” in exchange for amnesty for illegal aliens. Trading amnesty for border security is like trading your alarm code for a better alarm system. And after multiple rounds of these deals, our border is more open than ever and our country is more filled with illegal migrants than ever.
While Senate sellouts are conducting secret negotiations in the latest incarnation of amnesty (as befits a nation where the people answer to the government, not the other way around), it starts by ratifying Obama’s illegal DACA amnesty to legalize at least 2 million illegal aliens.
And, if past immigration dirty deals are anything to go by, the dirty deal will get much worse.
Republican proponents of making Obama’s lawlessness, lawful, call this a “DACA fix”. An actual fix would end the lawlessness and enforce immigration law, instead of finding new spin for their sellouts. But many of the Senate Republicans who had voted to abolish marriage and religious freedom have also been longtime supporters of illegal alien amnesty. And this is their hour.
Most Americans, in poll after poll, say that they’re sick and tired of Biden’s immigration policies, and yet, somehow, a number of Senate RINOs looked at those numbers and decided that they want a piece of those 60% disapproval ratings while giving Democrats millions more voters.
Why try for win-win, when lose-lose is so much better.
Senate Republicans keep promising that their latest bipartisan deal will finally secure the border. Only the most naive human being alive who had already bought the Brooklyn Bridge with the crypto millions from FTX would take them seriously. Money won’t secure the border. Only a consensus to follow the laws of our country will do that. Politicians who cut the heart out of immigration laws while promising that they’ll enforce them in the future don’t mean it.
Just like a drunk who promises to stop drinking tomorrow doesn’t mean it.
Illegal alien amnesty would be bad enough on its own, but Senate Republicans rushing it through a lame duck session to avoid a Republican House is a lawless act of contempt for midterm voters whom they begged to turn out only to cynically deprive them of their influence. If a lame duck president shouldn’t be able to appoint a Supreme Court member, how does a lame duck Senate legalize millions of illegals?
After abolishing religious freedom and legalizing millions of illegals, the next great RINO sellout on the lame duck horizon is crack.
After illegal aliens, crack dealers will get their turn at a Senate bailout. And then, who knows what depths of evil they’ll plumb, child molesters, Al Qaeda, or a bailout for the media? (The latter is actually on the agenda in the form of the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act.)
But first the crack dealers must be served.
Pro-crime activists are convinced that crackheads are unfairly discriminated against in sentencing. They argue that there’s a sentencing disparity between powder cocaine and crack cocaine users. And that since the latter are more likely to be black, the disparity is racist.
The disparity is real and has nothing to do with race. Crack cocaine offenders have the highest recidivism rates.while the stockbrokers powdering their noses in the bathroom have the lowest rates. The former are also a whole lot more likely to assault you randomly on the street.
While a higher number of crack cocaine offenders are black, more powder cocaine offenders are still black than white, so the claims of racism simply don’t hold up.
The sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine was not systemic racism, it came at the request of black communities who were struggling with the crack epidemic. This was an era when black ministers called for shooting crack dealers and community groups endorsed the death penalty for dealers. The crackdown on crack was a response to black anti-crime activism.
But after House Democrats passed the EQUAL Act, some Senate Republicans are negotiating their version which would match up crack cocaine and powder cocaine sentences. Even as crime is surging, some RINOs have decided that crack dealers need to be a protected class.
But if crack dealers are getting bailed out, where’s the bailout for meth?
The sentencing guidelines for meth are the same ones that pro-crime campaigners for crack dealers have complained were racist. The crack cocaine guidelines continue to be watered down and, if the Senate RINOs bail out crack dealers, then meth will have the 1-to-100 sentencing disparity with crack cocaine. If the crack cocaine disparity was racist, why isn’t the meth disparity racist? While black people made up 88% of crack cocaine offenders, whites represent 48% of methamphetamine offenders while black people made up only 2.5%.
Classing drug offenses by the race of the offenders, not by the severity of the consequences, is classic racism. Pro-crime activists, like most lefties fueled by critical race theory, claim that they see systemic racism everywhere except in their own systemically racist pursuit of equity.
Too many black crack dealers behind bars is a civil rights crisis, but white and Hispanic meth dealers behind bars is equity. And equity is what lefties and RINOs call social justice.
It’s no coincidence that the three big agendas, abolishing religious freedom, immigration law and public safety are all giveaways to identity politics groups that are key to the Democrat base.
The unhappy question is why are Senate RINOs so eager to jump on the bandwagon for the special interests of the Democrats, but refuse to do anything for their own beleaguered base?
Why are they obsessed with cutting dirty deals to fill our cities with crack, our country with illegal aliens and our culture with the wreckage of what used to be our values? What, one might ask, would the RINOs do differently if they were honest and simply ran with Ds next to their names?
Every so often, the RINOs remind their voters that they don’t work for them, they serve the criminals, junkies, illegal aliens and worsening every crisis that we are already drowning in.
While you hang up your Christmas lights and light your menorah, in Washington D.C. they’re finally getting to work on their real jobs of destroying our lives, our beliefs and our country.
The ’22 election & Walker defeat is seen as a repudiation of MAGA. RINOs are emboldened. It’s to be expected.
Walker defeat? No. More vote fraud.
Absolutely. Every time a candidate I like loses, it’s because of fraud.
I shouldn’t enjoy all the whining and blubbering I see here after every Republican defeat. But I do. I really do.
Nevertheless, life was better with Trump in the White House. I am going to assume that you are single, no kids and with a better than average income so inflation (at least not yet) does not concern you.
What else do you enjoy? Parents, hide your children!!!!!!
Yeah, all the immigration fixes made things worse, from the 1960s “reforms” onwards.
Ted Kennedy couldn’t get red-blooded patriots to vote reliably for leftist bulshit, so the blustering Fredo got the 1965 Immigration Act passed.
The goal was to have an “evil white Europeans” need not apply policy in favor of 3rd world groups predisposed to vote for welfare socialism.
Illegal aliens get public assistance the first month they arrive. Some use it to finance trips abroad to learn jihad.
The Tsarnaevs did.
The San Bernadino killers did.
The Keystone cop FBI reliably missed it. (However, they are hot on the trail of any parents who chafe at their daughters getting raped in school bathrooms.)
Hang your Christmas lights?
You’re getting the hang of the SoCal suburban lifestyle, Greenfield.
There may not be a deli on the first floor of your building but your home is your castle and your kids can go play in a nearby park in safety, and you don’t have to dodge homeless crazies shitting in the streets on your way to a smelly taxi with a driver who shouldn’t even have a license or the subways of death just to get to work or live your life.
Nothing matches owning your own home in a pleasant area.
I told you the suburbs are sublime. Air conditioned nightmare, my ass..
Layering services on broken people is a great business model for so called non profits. Much public money is applied to bandaid but never solve the problem on purpose. Trumpians giving people jobs and religion giving people hope will always be bad for their business.
Trumpian! Wow! A New term! What happened white supremacist domestic terrorist insurrectionist ? Too many syllables for you?
“The unhappy question is why are Senate RINOs so eager to jump on the bandwagon for the special interests of the Democrats, but refuse to do anything for their own beleaguered base?”
EXACTLY!!!
The Repubs are just as interested in the New World Islamic Economic System as the Progressive Leftist/Woke Dems…
Americans are being screwed!
Obama’s programs to make America unlivable for Americans is in full swing and yes
the RINOs are helping to devolve us into a third or fourth world disaster. When the
One World Government takes over the left will hopefully see the errors of their
ways while living the lives of slaves.
On the subject of “border reform” regarding that US /Mexican borders. All this awful chaos mayhem and misery along with this terrible suffering at the US/ Mexican border, because of that awful man, Joe Biden. the horrible reality is this terrible situation is because that Biden is the De facto “President” of the United States.
This is tragic. meaning It’s tragic fir America, it’s tragic for Americans and it’s tragic for all those people existing in those horrendous conditions at the Mexican /US border places because of Biden’s “No secure border policy.”
The harm President Imposter Biden is doing to America by his “open door” policy or better termed “No border policy” is totally despicable.
Since Biden entered the White House and is sitting in the Oval Office and he has now reversed all the good former President Trump did by his secure border policy .For when Biden stopped the construction and even destroyed some of the wall of the US/Mexican border wall. Now there is has been and is now drastic increase in many heinous and vile crime and also a sharp rise in the drug trafficking.
It’s very obvious that bogus president Biden is taking American down fast and should be impeached. The only reason that socialist Biden shouldn’t be removed from Office is because he would then be replaced by Communist, Kamala Harris.
That a falsehood speaking and possibly irrational character Kamala Harris is, as when she says that the US/Mexican border is “secure and under control.” That terrible woman is, indeed, very irrational and must have serious cognition problems if she really believes that outlandishly absurd fool statement she said.
Furthermore, if VP Harris, by any means, by hook or by crook,, actually does become the next US President then I’m glad that I’m no longer a young man and I’m also very sorry for the children of this country.
That national coronavirus epidemic across the United States of America was increased because of Biden porous US/ Mexican border rules. That President pretender Biden must not really care, at all, about the health and lives of the American people. In spite of all the empty disingenuous words spoken from Biden about “caring” talks cheap.
That bogus President Biden will have the blood of the deaths of many American on his wicked hands.
We are all facing hard times and a government that does not respect the will of the people. They have not done what was right in our eyes or in the eyes of God. How can anyone respect what kind of leaders we have now? Both parties have let us down. There’s a few good conservatives left, but not enough.
To tell you the truth, America is in decline, we have too many elites and politicians who care only about power, wealth, and control, they sold us out. They don’t care about life, liberty, fairness, or the constitution. There no respect for marriage and what God created, including babies, our sovereign borders, and security, or fair elections, therefore God. is not going to continue to bless America which has snubbed him and also poked Israel in the eye. China is controlling our nation because so many politicians are indebted to them, we are at the End of the Age, predicted by Jesus in Matthew 24:3. with the depravity, lawlessness, and corruption and are as bad as Sodom and Gomorrah.
To all Democraps and RINOs I would ask if they knew what the word “illegal” means.
As an elected GOP NC House member we often have the conversation that we should change our elected term from 2 years to 4 years. Most people actually favor that until they come into a situation like presented in the article – we have a Senator that has gone rouge. How do you get rid of an elected official (Sen. Thom Tillis NC, the GOP architect of the amnesty bill ) when they are elected for 6 years and have 4 years left in their term? The answer is nothing much! NC now has the new Liz Chaney for the next 4 years.
