America Faces No Greater Threat Than Joe Biden and the Democrat Party. Their Assault to Our Borders Is As Great As Their Assault to Free Speech and Free Elections
Sunday, September 4, 2022
A FEW MORE REASONS WHY THE GLOBALIST DEMOCRAT PARTY SHOUD BE BANNED! - Perhaps it is when the same federal government that insists on fighting wars all over the world in defense of other nations' borders staunchly refuses to protect America's own borders from invasion.
THERE IS NO GREATER THREAT TO AMERICA THAN THE BRIBES SUCKING DEMOCRAT PARTY!
After my condemnation of our "banana republic" in a previous essay, a clever commenter remarked pithily, "Last patriot turn out the lights." I laughed. But the truth is that the light is not dimming; it is getting brighter. We, all of us together, are in the sunshine business. And the more sunshine we bring, the more difficult it becomes for the darkness not to light up!
Case in point: After Facebook's Zuckerberg recently confessed to censoring the New York Post's explosive Hunter Biden "laptop from Hell" story (evidencing a compromised and most likely criminally culpable Biden family) before the 2020 election in response to FBI pressure that the social media giant treat real news as "Russian disinformation" (thereby corroborating that the national security Deep State helped rig the presidential election), the FBI superciliously responded with the equivalent of a teenaged shoulder shrug and a haughty "so what?" According to the FBI, our domestic spy agency regularly encourages censorship and secretive control over the free flow of information. No big deal!
Except it is a very big deal. Recent polling shows that nearly 80% of Americans believe that President Trump would have won re-election had voters "known the truth about Hunter Biden's laptop." In other words, the Deep State stole an election. This isn't a huge revelation for most readers here, but it is a huge revelation for those who have stubbornly refused to admit how corrupt and rotten the 2020 election was. Little by little, truth overpowers deceit. Let there be light!
In the sunshine business, our mission is to speak truth to power over and over again, much like a resolute punisher bringing down the lash against those who wound us with their lies. None of us alone must harbor the strength to complete the task at hand, for as long as another rises to give timely support and respite to any one weary arm, the lashings of truth will continue. That is truth's power and purpose: it cannot be bargained away or buried in the darkness for long. It lives whether its tormentors like it or not, and all we must do is recognize it, protect it, and sing its blessings from one shadow to the next, with courage and conviction, until the brightness it brings becomes glaring.
How do you collapse a corrupt system? By flooding it with oceans of luminous truth.
This is a war between those who embrace cynicism and those who embrace virtue. The cynics are so committed to using fabricated "narratives" to obtain and maintain power that they have discarded even the pretense of seeking universal truths. Whatever aids them in their conquest over others is sufficient justification for defense. Is man-made climate change real? Is Donald Trump a Russian spy? Is America plagued with systemic racism? Is COVID really the deadliest pathogen to afflict humanity? To the cynics, the answers do not matter. Pursuing conclusory "narratives," devoid of supporting evidence though they be, is valuable in itself. Even the most ugly, monstrous lies are worth protecting if those falsehoods serve their purpose — to comfort the powerful and afflict the powerless.
For those who believe in pursuing truth and virtue, this "ends justify the means" behavior is maddening. It is not easy living in a world where so many around us peddle delusions, malice, and lies. It is not easy to maintain clarity and balance when demonstrable truths are labeled as "misinformation" and outright fantasies are marketed as gospel truth. When even the loudest of truth-speakers, such as Deep State target President Trump, is tormented relentlessly with criminal persecution and media calumny, it is easy for the more reticent among us to lose hope. Yet when those with virtue stand fast and firm, those with no virtue screech and squirm. Resolute defense of truth reveals the cynics' weakness. The weaker they become, the louder they must be. When the madness around us is deafening, then you can be certain that the cynics are losing all control. So stay true. Don't bend. Hold the line.
When must a good citizen become a dissident? Is it when the FBI and other Deep State truth-twisters manufacture crises and manipulate elections? Is it when free speech comes under attack under the guise of State-labeled "misinformation"? Perhaps it is when the president-in-name-only reads carefully scripted messages (written by those who control his office from the shadows) attacking half the country's citizens as "fascists." Or when government and media "elites" falsely frame political protest as "insurrection" in order to justify criminal persecution and imprisonment of opponents of the ruling regime. Or maybe when the endless declaration of fake "emergencies" is used to justify the steady imposition of extraordinary State power over each citizen's livelihood. Maybe it's when the Intelligence Community operates a massive domestic surveillance network targeting Americans who have committed no crimes. Maybe it's when secretly collected information mined from supposedly independent social media conglomerates and too-big-to-fail private banks is used to track and trace unsuspecting citizens. Maybe it's when the value of the U.S. dollar is intentionally chipped away by central bank authorities enabling tax-and-spend legislators to expand institutional power at current and future Americans' expense. Perhaps it is when the same federal government that insists on fighting wars all over the world in defense of other nations' borders staunchly refuses to protect America's own borders from invasion. Maybe it is when politicians openly mock freedom and the Bill of Rights as "selfish" relics of a racist past, while implementing race-based policies trumpeted as "progress." Perhaps it is when the American government declares itself at war with the American system. Yeah, that seems like the right time to become a dissident.
America is a great nation. America's history is rivaled by none. America's people remain a melting pot of fighters and patriots yearning to be free. America's government, however, is rancid. D.C. has become a den of narcissists, liars, and thieves. A lawless Deep State has made itself the enemy of all virtuous people. The bureaucracy's failing cult of expertise has given rise to the urgent need for a new common sense conservatism grounded in individual liberty. Washington's wayward class of inveterate liars requires a resurgence of fearless Americans willing to tell the truth.
What makes a good citizen today? A tenacious determination to stand in and help spread truth's light.
TO IMPEACH BIDEN WE MUST HAVE A SENATE NOT CONTROLLED BY THE BRIBES SUCKING DEMOCRAT PARTY FOR OPEN BORDERS!

Gutfeld: Biden wants to be a civil wartime president
J.D. Vance, the Republican running against Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) for Ohio’s open United States Senate seat, said recently on the campaign trail the impact of drugs and migration is “hugely negative” for Ohioans.
Vance, during his Wednesday appearance on Fox News Channel’s Mornings With Maria Bartiromo, spoke about the impact of an open U.S.-Mexico border, which has resulted in nearly five million border crossers and illegal aliens arriving since President Joe Biden took office and now more than 100,000 Americans dying annually from drug overdoses, many linked to fentanyl.
“This is one of the things that really bothers me about Tim Ryan. He says he stands for the working man,” Vance said, explaining that it is also “hugely negative” for Ohioans.
Vance noted that the millions of illegal aliens crossing the southern border under Biden are flooding the U.S. labor market, driving down wages, and forcing working class Americans to compete against a growing number of foreign workers for American jobs.
Ohio, Vance said, also remains the “third leading state when it comes to opioid overdose deaths.”
“Let’s actually secure the border so that we don’t have 100,000 Americans dying of fentanyl overdoses,” Vance said:
Joe Biden and Tim Ryan have basically turned the U.S. southern border into the drug and sex trafficking capital of the world. We have got to shut this down. We can’t run away from the border issue because it’s making our country poor. [Emphasis added]
Indeed, while multinational corporates, Wall Street, and real estate investors are the biggest beneficiaries of mass immigration to the U.S., working and middle class Americans suffer the most as wages are dragged down, the job market gets more saturated, and investment shifts increasingly to the coasts outside of middle American states like Ohio.
Corporate special interest groups, lobbying for an amnesty for millions of illegal aliens, have shown that such a plan drives tens of billions in investment to coastal states like New York and California while further gutting middle American states.
The Republican National Committee (RNC) criticized President Joe Biden’s speech on Thursday after he ignored many midterm issues voters care about most to focus, instead, on slamming Republicans as extremists.
With the midterm elections just around the corner, Biden delivered an official speech about how “Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans are a threat to the very soul of this country.” But Biden’s speech, dubbed by the RNC as “another defining image of his presidency,” ignored the issues most pressing to Americans.
Biden failed to mention the invasion on the southern border, soaring crime, record-high inflation, supply chain woes, gas prices, the rise of China, the impact that the coronavirus had on children’s education, and the fentanyl crisis, the RNC’s research team tweeted:
Polling shows many of these issues are the ones that are important to Americans in the midterm elections. According to a Wednesday Quinnipiac poll, inflation ranked first at 27 percent, with no other issue reaching double digits.
A Rasmussen Reports poll found in August that record high gas prices, the economic recession, and soaring crime are the top three issues for voters heading into the November midterms.
Ninety-two percent were concerned about rising gas prices, while 68 percent were very concerned. Ninety-one percent were concerned about Biden’s economic recession. Sixty-six were very concerned. And 86 percent were concerned about violent crime. Sixty-one percent were very concerned.

A University of Massachusetts Amherst poll in May found that border security is also a top concern. Across the board, 13 percent of Americans selected immigration as the most important issue. The poll found immigration ranked of more importance to voters than abortion (12 percent), health care (10 percent), and climate change (10 percent).
Less than 24 hours after Biden delivered the speech Thursday, he tried to walk back his characterization of Republican voters after receiving flack from members of the establishment media for his address.
“I don’t consider any Trump supporter to be a threat to the country,” Biden replied when questioned about his remarks.
But the president did not change course and speak to the issues Americans most care about heading into the midterm elections. Instead, he continued to speak about January 6.
“When people voted for Donald Trump and support him now, they weren’t voting for attacking the Capitol. They weren’t voting for overruling an election,” Biden acknowledged. “They were voting for a philosophy that he put forward.”
The Democrat party’s pick for Secretary of Labor says CEOs are being victimized by a shortage of immigrant workers.
Companies want to hire another 11 million people, Labor Secretary Marty Walsh told Fox News on September 2, adding:
If those 11 million jobs had to be filled tomorrow, we certainly don’t have enough people in the United States to fill those jobs … the issue of workers has to be addressed and the only way [emphasis added] you can do it is through immigration.
“When I talk to CEOs from companies all across America, they’re all in favor of immigration reform,” he said, “they’re all in favor of pathways — of visas — for people coming into the United States working and we’re going to have to have that real serious conversation because at some point it will begin to impact our economy.”
But Walsh “doesn’t seem to know what’s going on in the U.S. labor market in terms of real wages for the less-educated, or the labor force participation,” responded Steve Camarota, research director at the Center for Immigration Studies.
“There are two main things that you could do [to get Americans into those jobs] — make it more attractive to work and make it less attractive to sit on your ass,” he said:
Could you ever get teenagers to work like they did in the 70s? No, but could you get a million more teenagers to work? Yeah. Could you ever get men to have the labor force participation rate of 96 percent — say non-college men 25 to 54 — that we had in 1964? No, but could you get it up to 88 percent instead of 84 percent or 83 percent? Yes.
The government should try to fill jobs with some of the roughly 60 million adults not working by allowing wages to rise, he said.
The 60 million number includes 5.5 million people who said they want a job but are not part of the unemployment numbers because they have not looked for jobs in the last four weeks.
The government should also try to raise the productivity of American workers with better training and machinery, he added:
The most important way to make a country actually richer on a per capita basis — which is all that really matters — is productivity. If you want to grow the per capita GDP, productivity is really a key option, and there’s no evidence that immigration helps to do that.
Walsh “seems to be entirely captive to the perspective of Wall Street, which wants a bigger economy and ignores the fact that productivity growth is the real key to increasing wages and improving the standard of living,” he added.
Some GOP legislators are looking at ways to help non-working Americans rejoin the labor force. For example, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), told a town hall event:
There is a number of innovative ideas I would support. [Former Sen.] Phil Gramm came to the Senate where we were talking about our labor shortage and one of his suggestions was to coax seniors to re-enter the workforce — don’t charge them payroll tax. They’re not paying it anyway so they want to get back in and earn a few extra bucks.
But that pro-American, anti-poverty proposal was quickly stabbed by Todd Schulte, the president of a billionaire-funded pro-migration advocacy group:
[I] would suggest a better approach is a pathway to citizenship (work permits!) for undocumented immigrants, not terminating DACA/TPS/H-4 EADs, and modernizing and expanding vs trying to slash legal immigration avenues for those coming in the future.
Schulte heads FWD.us, which is a trade lobby created by wealthy West Coast investors, including Mark Zuckerberg, Eric Schmidt, Bill Gates, and various other investors-billionaires. The group was formed in 2013 to maximize the inflow of foreign workers, taxpayer-aided consumers, and high-occupancy renters into the U.S. economy. The investors have close ties to many Democrats, including Biden’s chief of staff, Ron Klain.
Many local business groups are also calling for sidelined Americans to be replaced with eager, compliant, hard-working migrants.
“On July 7, about 30 business and humanitarian leaders gathered in Nemo [South Dakota] to initiate plans for Freedom’s Haven for New American’s Workforce,” said a September 2 report in Watertown Public Opinion. The report by a local real estate appraiser Brad Johnson continued:
The group, led by Lake Area Technical College President Mike Cartney, recognizes that South Dakota’s economy depends on more immigrant and guest workers. [Sen. John] Thune, who participated in the July meeting, had just asked President Joe Biden to increase the number of [H-2B] work visas.
…
Critics of Thune and anyone who suggests more immigrants be welcomed and allowed to work, allege that these workers take jobs the U.S. citizens would fill. Obviously, that is not the case in South Dakota. One employer said Wednesday that a $21 an hour part-time job to wash cars in Brookings, a college town, had no applicants.
However, many companies are trying to sell automated car cleaners that allow a few employees to earn good wages while washing many more autos:
Many companies are being pressured by labor shortages to invest in high-tech, high-wage gear, including dairies in South Dakota:
Similarly, a new meatpacking plant in South Dakota will rely heavily on automation, DRGNews reported July 19:
The Western Legacy Development Corporation facility will utilize robotics and artificial intelligence along other tech applications thereby creating a completely automated packing line, which will make the facility safer, more efficient, more humane, and will provide consistent cuts of meat that would not ordinarily be achieved by a human with known margins for error
Many pro-migration advocates and journalists admit that labor migration is the “Third Rail” of U.S. politics. For example, Johnson wrote:
That will take congressional action to modify, and Thune, Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., and Rep. Dusty Johnson, R-S.D., plan to meet with business leaders sometime in September to map out a strategy. Part of that strategy will be insulating the three men from the inevitable attacks coming from those who … demonize anyone who supports making immigration easier.
The government’s policy of pumping foreign labor into the U.S. economy has distorted the incentives for the nation’s CEOs, investors, and political leaders Camarota said.
Immigration “allows them to both be empathetic and indifferent at the same time,” he said.
Immigration “lets us ignore the problem of all these men sitting on the sidelines, not even looking for work,” he said, adding:
They do want to care … but they’re just exasperated to some extent with the nonworking black — and white and actually U.S.-born Hispanic population — because the truth is raising the labor force participation rate of less-educated men is very challenging. It’s not clear exactly how to do it, whereas just bringing the foreigners — and having a lot of sympathy for them — is easy …. The immigrants seem to be more more virtuous because they work. Everything is perfect — they’re nice and quiet and so forth.
Training less-educated Americans, especially at small companies, “is thankless, with lots of frustration and lots of failures. Given how kids are raised today, it’s more and more failure all the time,” he said, adding:
There are all kinds of [social tools] that have atrophied as a consequence of immigration. There used to be seasonal employers at the beach or in the mountains, or at [summer] camps, who had all kinds of contacts in the cities and suburbs with ministers and other community leaders to help them funnel young people to those seasonal jobs. That’s all gone– [employers] just use the H-2B [and] H-2A workers and illegal immigrants. [Employers] don’t need to worry about keeping their contacts.
For politicians and government officials, the easy option is to “pay them their disability and give them Medicaid,” Camarota said.
But Democrats also want immigration to deliver them additional immigrant voters on election days. In a May statement, Walsh downplayed the value of non-citizen teporary visa workers, saying, “We need to figure out some immigration laws and get some reform. Not H-2B visas, H-2A visas, not those visas — that’s not immigration.”
Extraction Migration
It is easier for government officials to grow the economy by immigration than by growing exports, productivity, or the birth rate.
So Washington, DC, deliberately extracts millions of migrants from poor countries and uses them as extra workers, consumers, and renters. This extraction migration policy both grows and skews the national economy.
Extraction migration slows innovation and shrinks Americans’ productivity, partly because it allows employers to boost stock prices by using stoop labor and disposable workers instead of the American professionals and productivity-boosting technology that would allow Americans and their communities to earn more money.
This migration policy also reduces exports by minimizing shareholder pressure on U.S. companies to build up beneficial and complementary trade with people in poor countries.
Migration undermines employees’ workplace rights, and it widens the regional economic gaps between the Democrats’ cheap-labor coastal states and the Republicans’ heartland and southern states.
An economy fueled by extraction migration also drains Americans’ political clout over elites, alienates young people, and radicalizes Americans’ democratic civic culture because it gives an excuse for wealthy elites and progressives to ignore despairing Americans at the bottom of society, such as drug addicts.
This economic strategy is enthusiastically pushed by progressives who wish to transform the U.S. from a society governed by European-origin civic culture into an economic empire of jealous identity groups overseen by progressive hall monitors. “We’re trying to become the first multiracial, multi-ethnic superpower in the world,” Rep. Rohit Khanna (D-CA) told the New York Times in March 2022. “It will be an extraordinary achievement. … We will ultimately triumph,” he boasted.
But the progressives’ colonialism-like economic strategy kills many migrants. It exploits the poverty of migrants and splits foreign families as it extracts human resources from poor home countries to serve wealthy U.S. investors.
Progressives hide this extraction migration economic policy behind a wide variety of noble-sounding narratives and theatrical border security programs. Progressives claim the U.S. is a “Nation of Immigrants,” that migration helps migrants, and that the state must renew itself by replacing populations.
Similarly, establishment Republicans, media businesses, and major GOP donors hide the skew towards investors by ignoring the pocketbook impact and by touting border chaos, welfare spending, migrant crime, and drug smuggling.
Many polls show the public wants to welcome some immigration. But the polls also show deep and broad public opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into jobs needed by young U.S. graduates.
