THE GLOBALIST DEMOCRAT PARTY FOR BANKSTERS, BILLIONAIRES and
WIDER OPEN BORDERS TO KEEP WAGES DEPRESSED
Recently the Democrat
party has become the party of open borders and amnesty as well as ultimate
citizenship for upwards of 22 million illegal
immigrants and with open borders at least another 2-4 million more every year.
The vast majority of these illegal immigrants are functionally illiterate and
lacking in employable skills. STEVE McCANN
Yet the Democrat party
that claims to be the champion of minorities and low-income families is pushing
to ultimately legalize upwards of 22 to 30 million unskilled illegal immigrants
(equal to 55 to 73% of the current African American population) which will
devastate low income working American families by driving down wages.

Can the Present-Day Democrat Party Govern America
(with or without Joe Biden)?
By Steve McCann
The cabal fronted by Joe
Biden is selling hatred of Donald Trump and his voters and prefers that voters
not worry about their ability to govern should the Democrats win the Senate and install Harris-Biden.
This same cabal that
would be charged with governing the nation has, for the past four years,
marginalized, physically confronted and repeatedly accused the 63 million
Americans who voted for Donald Trump of being not only racists but fascists and
white supremacists as well as homophobic, xenophobic and among the vilest
people on the face of the earth. What will be their intentions for these
rightfully incensed citizens? Ignore them and hope they go away?
They will not. Instead, the Democrat party cabal will continue to vilify
half of the voters in 2020 thus potentially fomenting serious ongoing
confrontations and retaliation.
Over the years 154 million observant
Christians have been denigrated, mocked and pilloried for their beliefs as
religious liberty is under continual assault by the left and the Democrat
party. What can this segment of society look forward to under a
government committed to promoting unfettered abortion and infanticide as well
as a determination to purge society of its basic Judeo-Christian
foundation? It is an absolute certainty that the hierarchy of the party
will persist in imposing their secularism on the nation, either by litigation,
administrative decrees or intimidation. How will they respond to
what will be increasing anger and resentment by 48% of the population?
In a nation of 330
million people there will always be those who will commit mass murder.
When and if the current iteration of the Democrat party takes over, these
occurrences will increase. The left has always blamed rhetoric and guns
as the primary causation. Thus, when mass murders occur a Democrat party
in power will have no choice but to continue to ignore underlying factors such
as societal breakdown and mental illness and actively focus on overtly limiting
speech and enforcing gun control.
Currently 235 million Americans
either own or could see themselves owning a gun. How will the Democrats
in power go about effectively confiscating guns in a nation of 3.8 million
square miles? Utilize a national registry of all gun owners? Outlaw
all semi-automatic weapons? Impose onerous taxes and insurance
requirements making gun ownership unaffordable? Pass open-ended red flag laws
allowing virtually anyone to file a complaint against someone, ostensibly based
on their suspicions, thus allowing the police to seize the guns of the
accused? As for speech, will certain words, phrases and organizations, as
determined by the left, be considered inciteful and dangerous and thus
outlawed? How will the Democrats deal with the inevitable resistance and
potential violent push back from upwards of 72% of the nation’s citizenry?
Once in power, the
Democrats are committed to eventual Medicare for all, reparations for African
Americans, and new environmental programs amid a myriad of new spending
programs. The estimated average annual cost of these proposals exceeds $4
trillion over and above current spending. Discounting the one-time
pandemic spending, the federal government currently spends $4.7 trillion a year
(which includes $1 trillion of deficit spending). Income taxes account
for 50% of all government revenue and Social Security and Medicare withholding
account for 36%. Thus, individuals account for 86% of all revenue.
In order for the Democrats to pay for these programs, revenue from individual
taxpayers would have to be increased by 150%.
As the Democrats have
promised not to touch Social Security and Medicare all the increase would have
to be in the income tax arena, assuming that all this proposed spending would
not be financed by unfettered money creation and debt. Based on the most
recent IRS analysis the
effective average income tax rate would have to be 70% on the top 10% of income
tax filers, a rate of 55% on the next 40%, and a rate of 35% on the bottom 50%
of filers. (Further, the corporate tax rate would have to be increased
from a current rate of 21% to 50%.
How would the Democrats
enforce these new rates as people either refuse to pay or go into the
underground economy? How would they pay for massive unemployment
and welfare benefits as a result of an avalanche of layoffs and business
closures? What are their plans for the recession and potential depression
that would ensue? From whom (China?) would a Democrat administration
borrow money and at what exorbitant interest rate? Would they
successfully coerce the Federal Reserve into printing trillions of dollars in
new money? Thus, creating massive uncontrolled and nation-toppling
inflation?
Recently the Democrat
party has become the party of open borders and amnesty as well as ultimate
citizenship for upwards of 22 million illegal
immigrants and with open borders at least another 2-4 million more every year.
The vast majority of these illegal immigrants are functionally illiterate and
lacking in employable skills.
Currently 30% of all
working families (or nearly 50 million Americans)
are essentially unskilled and low income but above the poverty threshold.
60% of these are families headed by racial/ ethnic minorities.
African Americans, while 13% of the population (41 million), account for
nearly 30% of low-income working families. Another 39 million Americans
live below the poverty level. Thus, a total of 89 million live in low-income
families or in poverty. Yet the Democrat party that claims to be the
champion of minorities and low-income families is pushing to ultimately
legalize upwards of 22 to 30 million unskilled illegal immigrants (equal to 55
to 73% of the current African American population) which will devastate low
income working American families by driving down wages.
The left and the Democrat
party are now so committed to open borders and illegal immigration that they
cannot reverse course. Do they really give a damn about the African
American population, or native born and naturalized Hispanics, or the low-income
white working families? Or are the potential votes of the illegal
population more important? With the spending plans outlined above, how
will they buy off these groups as there will be no money or jobs? How
will they avoid the inevitable class friction and potential hostility with so
many in the marketplace and a limited number of jobs in the low-income sector?
How will the Democrat
Party hierarchy deal with the Marxist mobs they tacitly unleashed onto the
streets of the nation’s major cities and suburbs? Mobs who now know that
virtually all Democrat politicians inevitably cower and capitulate in the face
of violence and intimidation. How does the party leadership placate
them and their demands to overthrow capitalism and transform the nation into an
unabashed Marxist/socialist nation without fomenting more militant upheaval?
While at the same time,
due to their failed policy prescriptions, incompetence and fecklessness, deal
with a myriad of near insolvable problems they deliberately created as well as the
resultant demands from the rest of the populace.
Nationwide chaos and
antagonism on a massive scale is thus inevitable.
In summary, the current
Marxist/socialist dominated Democrat Party and its propaganda arm, the
mainstream media, is good at sowing confusion, communicating overt falsehoods
and vilifying their opponents in order to win elections. But they
cannot and will never be able to successfully govern a diverse nation of 330
million people the size of the continent of Europe. If they ever fully
control all the levers of power, this nation as presently constituted, will, in
due course, cease to exist.

prosecution, and the ongoing embracing of illegal immigration,
violent crimes are increasing after having seen a reduction the past
few years.” P.F. WHALEN
Undeterred, on September 2, state lawmakers sent a budget to Governor Newsom calling for $600 million in spending increases and a reduction in state revenue with the extension of earned income tax credits for immigrants and illegal aliens.

California: The Golden State in Utter Decay
By P.F. Whalen
California is a mess; no secret there. But the degree of decline that befalls it, and the quickness with which that decline is moving, seems to be largely ignored, particularly by Californians themselves. The nation's most populous state, and arguably its most naturally beautiful, is falling apart virtually everywhere we look. Yet state and local governments not only insist on moving forward with leftist policies, but continually double down by moving even farther left, and the state's voters return them to office with ever-increasing electoral margins. California's current approach to virtually all aspects of society — the economy, environment, legal system and culture — is unsustainable, and the time for reckoning is rapidly approaching.
The current crisis in California that is getting the most national attention is the plague of wildfires throughout much of the northern part of the state. Such fires have ravaged the area for millennia, long before the presence of any European settlers, but that has not stopped California leftists and their media from pointing fingers at climate change and President Trump. Avoiding responsibility for a crisis by blaming anyone and anything with even a remote chance of culpability is the California way — which leads to a failure to develop real solutions. None of California's leaders, least of all Democratic governor Gavin Newsom, have accepted any responsibility for the government's role in the fires. Evidence clearly shows that the decision by the state to revive "fire suppression" efforts, a practice that essentially delays the inevitable and results in even larger wildfires (and was mostly discontinued in the 1960s), has been a major contributor to the magnitude of this year's fires. But has the government of California even paused to reconsider the strategy? Sadly, no.
Wildfires, unfortunately, are among the least of California's woes. Homelessness in the state has become a major problem, and one that is having a significant impact on the quality of life for taxpayers. According to a San Francisco Chronicle article published last December, "[w]hile the latest counts compiled by the federal government show that America's homeless population is growing again after more than a decade of declines, the entire national increase and more can be attributed to California alone." In other words, homelessness continues to be on the decline in the U.S. if we exclude California. So how does California plan on addressing the problem? A bill passed by the state's Legislature earlier this month will empower Governor Newsom to appoint a "Homelessness Czar." Government actions, including regulations which aggressively target landlords and programs that provide handouts enticing the homeless to settle in the state, have perpetuated the homeless situation, but more taxpayer dollars and government interference is always the solution for California. Got a problem? Throw money at it, and let the government make it worse.
With increasing homelessness, a soft approach to criminal prosecution, and the ongoing embracing of illegal immigration, violent crimes are increasing after having seen a reduction the past few years. According to The Trace, "homicides are sharply up this year" in California as a whole, and cities such as Oakland, with a 26% increase, have seen a significant increase in the number of murders. With the jump in violent crimes, what steps has California's government taken to reduce certain crimes? They recently passed the controversial bill S.B. 145, which will ultimately end up reducing accountability and sentences for adults who sexually assault children as young as 14. What a brilliant idea. Apparently, California's leadership believes that the pedophile community had been treated unfairly.
In spite of an abundance of bad news items hitting California on a regular basis, the most ominous challenge is undoubtedly the fiscal time bomb that looms, and whose ticking grows louder by the day. Already one of the highest taxed states in the U.S., California had a reported government debt of over $1.5 trillion as of 2017 — long before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and an amount that has surely increased dramatically since. Undeterred, on September 2, state lawmakers sent a budget to Governor Newsom calling for $600 million in spending increases and a reduction in state revenue with the extension of earned income tax credits for immigrants and illegal aliens. Balance sheet be damned, California must cater to illegal aliens.
Increasing spending and decreasing revenue is a lousy recipe for getting one's fiscal house in order — particularly one that is already a disaster. The state government appears to be counting on an eventual federal bailout from its financial predicament, but that help is not going to happen, nor should it.
California industries have recognized the signals and are taking action. High-profile companies and leaders have announced their plans to leave the state or have openly proclaimed their considerations for the idea. Media outlet The Daily Wire, with co-owner Ben Shapiro, recently announced its plan to move to Nashville; podcast giant Joe Rogan is taking his ball and moving to Texas; and Elon Musk is moving Tesla's headquarters out-of-state, and possibly manufacturing operations as well. Other businesses will surely follow, as the hostility toward industry through taxes and oppressive regulations continues unimpeded. State lawmakers are not intimidated by the idea of losing millions of dollars in revenue and have recently taken the bold step of adding a layer of government regulations to existing and would-be businesses. Another bill recently passed by the state legislature will "mandate ethnic, racial or LGBT diversity on corporate boards" — more government intervention in the private sector in the name of virtue and another assault on the philosophy of meritocracy.
California has some of the most appealing weather in the world, but pleasant weather goes only so far. Residents enjoy the state's natural wonders such as the lovely Napa Valley, Yosemite National Park, and the glorious pacific coast highway, but they have been choosing to leave anyway at an increasing rate in a phenomenon that is being called "The California Exodus." The state population decreased by almost 200,000 in 2018, and over 28,000 left the San Francisco Bay area alone in a single quarter last year. Inevitably, the question that Californians have to consider is this: while it may be bad now, is there a chance it is going to get better?
California, the bluest of blue states, has rising crime and homelessness. California has fearsome wildfires and rolling electrical blackouts due to government mismanagement of its forests and energy systems. California has an ever-increasing budget deficit with no end in sight. Yet California's tone-deaf politicians continue to enjoy immense support from their oblivious electorate. Many residents cherish the song lyric that laments, "Going to California with an aching in my heart." Unfortunately, the time has come for many to recognize reality, and to leave California with a similar aching. California is decaying before our eyes, and it is not going to get better.

Adios, Sanctuary La Raza Welfare State of California
A fifth-generation Californian laments his state’s ongoing economic collapse.
By Steve Baldwin
American Spectator
What’s clear is that the producers are leaving the state and the takers are coming in. Many of the takers are illegal aliens, now estimated to number over 2.6 million (BLOG: THE NUMBER IS CLOSER TO 15 MILLION ILLEAGLS). The Federation for American Immigration Reform estimates that California spends $22 billion (DATED: NOW ABOUT $35 BILLION YEARLY AND THAT IS ON THE STATE LEVEL ONLY. COUNTIES PAY OUT MORE) on government services for illegal aliens, including welfare, education, Medicaid, and criminal justice system costs.
Liberals claim they more than make that up with taxes paid, but that’s simply not true. It’s not even close. FAIR estimates illegal aliens in California contribute only $1.21 billion in tax revenue, which means they cost California $20.6 billion, or at least $1,800 per household.
Nonetheless, open border advocates, such as Facebook Chairman Mark Zuckerberg, claim illegal aliens are a net benefit to California with little evidence to support such an assertion. As the Center for Immigration Studies has documented, the vast majority of illegals are poor, uneducated, and with few skills. How does accepting millions of illegal aliens and then granting them access to dozens of welfare programs benefit California’s economy? If illegal aliens were contributing to the economy in any meaningful way, California, with its 2.6 million illegal aliens, would be booming.
Furthermore, the complexion of illegal aliens has changed with far more on welfare and committing crimes than those who entered the country in the 1980s. Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute has testified before a Congressional committee that in 2004, 95% of all outstanding warrants for murder in Los Angeles were for illegal aliens; in 2000, 23% of all Los Angeles County jail inmates were illegal aliens and that in 1995, 60% of Los Angeles’s largest street gang, the 18th Street gang, were illegal aliens. Granted, those statistics are old, but if you talk to any California law enforcement officer, they will tell you it’s much worse today. The problem is that the Brown administration will not release any statewide data on illegal alien crimes. That would be insensitive. And now that California has declared itself a “sanctuary state,” there is little doubt this sends a message south of the border that will further escalate illegal immigration into the state.
"If the racist "Sensenbrenner Legislation" passes the US Senate, there is no doubt that a massive civil disobedience movement will emerge. Eventually labor union power can merge with the immigrant civil rights and "Immigrant Sanctuary" movements to enable us to either form a new political party or to do heavy duty reforming of the existing Democratic Party. The next and final steps would follow and that is to elect our own governors of all the states within Aztlan."
Indeed, California goes out of its way to attract illegal aliens. The state has even created government programs that cater exclusively to illegal aliens. For example, the State Department of Motor Vehicles has offices that only process driver licenses for illegal aliens. With over a million illegal aliens now driving in California, the state felt compelled to help them avoid the long lines the rest of us must endure at the DMV. And just recently, the state-funded University of California system announced it will spend $27 million on financial aid for illegal aliens. They’ve even taken out radio spots on stations all along the border, just to make sure other potential illegal border crossers hear about this program. I can’t afford college education for all my four sons, but my taxes will pay for illegals to get a college education.
