The Future Of Entitlement

This pile of cash is the Venezuelan equivalent of one US dollar.

Behold the power of socialism.

The same kind of socialism that Democrat Party leaders want to bring to the United States of America.

We must stop them if we want to Keep America Great!

How Politics Works

Politics

I TOLD MY SON, "YOU WILL MARRY THE GIRL I CHOOSE."

HE SAID, "NO."

I TOLD HIM, "SHE IS BILL GATES' DAUGHTER."

HE SAID, "YES."

I CALLED BILL GATES AND SAID, "I WANT YOUR DAUGHTER

TO MARRY MY SON."

BILL GATES SAID, "NO."

I TOLD BILL GATES, "MY SON IS THE CEO OF THE WORLD BANK."

BILL GATES SAID, "OK."

I CALLED THE CHAIRMAN OF THE WORLD BANK AND ASKED HIM

TO MAKE MY SON THE CEO.

HE SAID, "NO."

I TOLD HIM, "MY SON IS BILL GATES' SON-IN-LAW."

HE SAID, "OK."

AND THAT'S EXACTLY HOW POLITICS WORKS.

And thus, began the practice of hiring dumb asses to work in influential positions of government.

The practice is unbroken to this date

Rodent Removal

In this crazy political season I decided a little religion might be appropriate so here is a short Bible study.

Remember what Jesus said: 'Goats on the left, sheep on the right' (Matthew 25:33).

Jesus also told Peter that if he wanted to catch fish do it from the right side of the boat. They did and filled the boat with fish.

John  21:6 (NIV) ... He said, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some." When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish."

Origin of Left & Right...I have often wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the right" and Liberals are called the "left".

By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible: Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV) - "The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left." Thus sayeth the Lord.  Amen.

It surely can't get any simpler than that.

Spelling Lesson:

The last four letters in American..........I Can

The last four letters in Republican....... I Can

The last four letters in Democrats........ Rats

End of lesson! ...Test to follow on November 6, 2018.

Remember, November 2018 is to be set aside as rodent removal month. 

Please share this Bible Lesson with all your friends and email buddies to help achieve that goal.

Never grow a wishbone where a backbone ought to be………………

Love what it says

I don't think I've ever read anything more powerful than this piece.

It was written by Ted Nugent - yes, THAT Ted Nugent

Take a little trip to Valley Forge in January. Hold a musket ball in your
fingers and imagine it piercing your flesh and breaking a bone or two.
There won't be a doctor or trainer to assist you until after the battle, so
just wait your turn. Take your cleats and socks off to get a real
experience.

Then, take a knee on the beach in Normandy where man after American man
stormed the beach, even as the one in front of him was shot to pieces, the
very sea stained with American blood. The only blockers most had were the
dead bodies in front of them, riddled with bullets from enemy fire.

Take a knee in the sweat soaked jungles of Vietnam. From Khe Sanh to
Saigon, anywhere will do. Americans died in all those jungles. There was no
playbook that told them what was next, but they knew what flag they
represented. When they came home, they were protested as well, and spit on
for reasons only cowards know.

Take another knee in the blood drenched sands of Fallujah in 110 degree
heat. Wear your Kevlar helmet and battle dress. Your number won't be
printed on it unless your number is up! You'll need to stay hydrated but
there won't be anyone to squirt Gatorade into your mouth. You're on your
own.

There are a lot of places to take a knee where Americans have given their
lives all over the world. When you use the banner under which they fought
as a source for your displeasure, you dishonor the memories of those who
bled for the very freedoms you have. That's what the red stripes mean. It
represents the blood of those who spilled a sea of it defending your
liberty.

While you're on your knee, pray for those that came before you, not on a
manicured lawn striped and printed with numbers to announce every inch of
ground taken, but on nameless hills and bloodied beaches and sweltering
forests and bitter cold mountains, every inch marked by an American life
lost serving that flag you protest.

No cheerleaders, no announcers, no coaches, no fans, just American men and
women, delivering the real fight against those who chose to harm us,
blazing a path so you would have the right to "take a knee." You haven't
any inkling of what it took to get you where you are, but your "protest" is
duly noted. Not only is it disgraceful to a nation of real heroes, it
serves the purpose of pointing to your ingratitude for those who chose to
defend you under that banner that will still wave long after your jersey is
retired.

If you really feel the need to take a knee, come with me to church on
Sunday and we'll both kneel before Almighty God. We'll thank Him for
preserving this country for as long as He has We'll beg forgiveness for our
ingratitude for all He has provided us. We'll appeal to Him for
understanding and wisdom. We'll pray for liberty and justice for all,
because He is the one who provides those things. But there will be no
protest. There will only be gratitude for His provision and a plea for His
continued grace and mercy on the land of the free and the home of the
brave. It goes like this, GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Something All Should Know


Thought you’d like to be informed, since the media won’t let you know...

The White House.... short report..... it's called ‘Trump Derangement
Syndrome’ - as titled by Rush Limbaugh.

Nothing Trump does - for the good - will ever make it on the national
news. The media have their agenda and they're going to stick with it,
no matter what.

On Friday, the Trump administration released their annual report to
Congress on White House Office Personnel. It includes the name,
status, salary and position title of all 377 White House employees.

The report also said that Trump decided not to take a dime of his
salary. Instead he donated it to an amazing cause! (see below).


The report also showed that President Trump is far better at saving
money than Obama was. The total annual White House salaries under
Trump are $35.8 million vs. $40.9 under Obama, a savings of $5.1
million. Here are some other key findings. There are 110 fewer
employees on White House staff under Trump than under Obama at this
point in their respective presidencies.

Nineteen fewer staffers are dedicated to The First Lady of the United
States (FLOTUS). Currently, there are five staffers dedicated to
Melania Trump vs. 24 staffers who served Michelle Obama (FY2009)

However, it's what the report said Trump did with this salary that has
everyone talking. Instead of taking his salary, Trump donated all
$400,000 to the Department of the Interior where it will be used for
construction and repair needs at military cemeteries! AMAZING! It's so
great to have a President who loves our brave military men and women
so much!

Oh, and where's the media coverage of this?
Oh that's right, they don't cover anything good that the President does.

Illegal Border Crossings Into U.S.

Between October and February, there has been a 300 percent increase of illegal aliens crossing the border using children as props – hence the reason for separating the 'families' to see who these 'children' really belong to. Many of these 'children' are teenagers (or older) who 'look' like teenagers and have no identification. And, while most illegal immigrants may come only to seek work and a better economic opportunity, their presence outside the law furnishes an opportunity for terrorists to blend into the same shadows while they target the American public for their terrorist crimes.

Recently, approximately 10,000 illegal children (under the ages of 18) have come in on their own, with about 1500 arriving with 'parents'.

The Department of Health and Human Services has been taking in about 250 children per day in recent weeks and expects to continue that amount for the next two months. HHS is the agency that is taking in children when they are separated from their families. If that estimate holds, HHS could be caring for 18,500 more children by the end of August. The HHS official said as of Friday that they were already holding 11,500 children, which (with the additional 18,500 children) means the United States could be holding 30,000 illegal alien children by the end of August. During this time, the children are housed, fed, clothed, receive medical attention, and more. If they are without parents, a sponsor home must eventually be found.

 
Recent immigration studies show the $18 billion wall President Trump plans to build along the southern border will pay for itself by curbing the importation of not only crime and drugs, but poverty.

The wall could pay for itself even if it only modestly reduced illegal crossings and drug smuggling,” Steven A. Camarota, director of research at the Center for Immigration Studies, told The New York Post.

Absent a wall, the Homeland Security Department forecasts an additional 1.7 million illegal crossings at the US-Mexico border over the next decade.

If a wall stopped just 200,000 of those future crossings, it would save American taxpayers a whopping $64 billion - from welfare, public education, refundable tax credits and other benefits currently given to illegal aliens from Mexico and Central America – almost four times the wall's cost - to say nothing of the additional billions in federal savings from reduced federal drug interdiction and border-security enforcement.

While the national media routinely report that illegal immigrants don’t go on welfare, Camarota says this is a pervasive myth. While in most cases they can’t legally qualify for welfare, food stamps, Medicaid or other public benefits, the reality is that the vast majority of households headed by illegal immigrants are on welfare through children in the household.

There is also an Emergency Medicaid program that covers predominantly illegal immigrants. Funds from the multibillion-dollar program go to hospitals to offset the cost of treating adult illegal aliens who can’t pay their bills. And it’s not just for ER visits. In New York, the program can be used to provide chemotherapy and radiation therapy for illegal immigrants.

In addition, Camarota said the IRS each year pays out billions to illegal immigrants in refundable child tax credits and the earned income tax credit.

Indeed, the Congressional Budget Office recently estimated that 3 million DREAM Act recipients would receive an estimated $12 billion-plus in ObamaCare subsidies, more than $5.5 billion in Medicaid benefits, $5.5 billion in earned-income and child-tax credits and more than $2 billion in food stamps.

The United States is not without a heart, but it must take care of it's own citizens first and newly applied citizenship.

Documenting people who arrive in any country is an idea that makes sense. Lots of countries think so, even if the U.S. doesn’t take it seriously. Here are a few examples:

Australia: Collectively require the authorities to detain all non-citizens who are discovered in Australia without a valid visa.

Britain: If you cross the British border illegally, you will always be asked to identify yourself where if you do not have authorization will be deported.

Canada: If caught entering the Canadian border illegally, expect the Canada Border Services Agency as well as the Immigration and Citizenship Canada, to serve you with a removal letter followed by an arrest if you do not leave the country peaceful.

China: Whisleblowers who report illegals to the government receive a cash reward when their information “leads to an expulsion.”

Cuba: If you are caught crossing the Cuban border illegally, you will be thrown into political prison.

Denmark: This largely homogenous country has reportedly offered immigrants cash incentives to leave if they cannot assimilate into Danish culture. Denmark's website states that "Denmark is not an immigrant-country and never has been. Thus we will not accept transformation to a multiethnic society."

European Union:Shared border controls are in place in 25 EU countries. They do not apply in two EU countries, Ireland and the United Kingdom. All EU countries control and monitor their own border crossing-points via land, sea or air. These national efforts are complimented by the work of the EU border control agency, Frontex, which trains national border guards and coordinates activities by EU countries to ensure the security of the EU's external borders. A proposed European System of Border Surveillance (EUROSUR) will help EU countries to develop their surveillance capabilities. The aim is to help prevent illegal border crossings and reduce irregular migration, which often has tragic consequences. It will also help to improve the EU's internal security by preventing cross-border crimes.

Iran: Since late April 2007, the Iranian government has forcibly deported back to Afghanistan mostly unregistered (and some registered) Afghans living and working in Iran at a rate between 250,000 and 300,000 per year – (the number the United States will receive this summer). The forceful evictions of the refugees, who lived in Iran and Pakistan for nearly three decades, are part of the two countries’ larger plans to repatriate all Afghan refugees within a few years.”

Italy: A law passed by parliament in 2009 “penalizes illegal immigrants with a fine of €5,000-10,000 and allows immigration officials to detain them for up to 6 months.

Mexico: Tightened its immigration laws in 2008, Mexico has been deporting mass numbers of Central Americans and Cubans.

North Korean:If you are caught crossing the border illegally, you get twelve years hard labor.

Russia: Illegal border crossing is considered a crime, and captured illegal border crossers are sentenced to prison terms.

Saudi Arabia: Simply, if you cross the border illegally you will be jailed.

Venezuela:It is encouraged that you go through the normal procedure to get a visa to travel to Venezuela – if you cross the border illegally you will be branded a spy and your fate will be sealed.
