President Trump Unveils Plans to Stabilize and Secure Crime-Riddled Democrat Cities

“We’re going to straighten things out,” Trump said, describing “out of control cities” that were “like war zones.”

He noted that all of the cities experiencing a rise in crime were led by the left.

Donald Trump Previews Actions to Secure Crime-Ridden Democrat-Led Cities

President Donald Trump previewed Wednesday an upcoming announcement that he would act to secure some of America’s largest cities facing a surge in violence.

Story continues below advertisement

Breitbart, July 15, 2020:

“Next week, we’re going to have I think a very exciting news conference because we’re talking about some of these cities where some of the Democrats running them have just lost control of the cities,” Trump said. “So that will be very interesting.”The president spoke after receiving a law enforcement briefing from Attorney General Bill Barr about the success against MS-13 and other transnational gangs.

“We’re going to straighten things out,” Trump said, describing “out of control cities” that were “like war zones.”

Trump on Monday described cities like Chicago as “worse than Afghanistan” as several major cities are experiencing a crime wave.

The president blames the radical left, which has threatened to defund its police forces, for the rise in crime.

“Far-left mayors are escalating the anti-cop crusade, and violent crime is spiraling in their cities,” he said Monday. “It’s all far-left cities, where they have no understanding of what has to be done.”

He noted that all of the cities experiencing a rise in crime were led by the left.

“I don’t say this for political reasons. They’re all democrats; they’re liberal left-wing democrats, and it’s almost like they think this is going to be this way forever,” Trump said.

The president noted that in Chicago alone, 68 people were shot with 18 dead.

“We’re not going to put up with that,” Trump said.

Unless you arrest the mayors, DA’s, Councilmembers and even Governors as “accessories” to murder, rioting and other lawlessness, this avails to nothing.
It’s the local legislators who have made a hash of the laws, the DA’s that are letting out riotors on one side and prosecuting home defenders on the other, it is Governors that are killing their people in the nursing homes but then allowing BLM protests while shutting down churches as well as revoking any requirements for bail. It is mayors breaking their own city’s ordinances painting roads and defacing public property and tearing down statues with Governor’s blessings.

The rioters are only part of the problem.

Aye. And I find it interesting that the ball of management has been thrown from central government into the hands of the citizens, to bring accountability at the state and local levels, most especially. This is a road thirsting for feet. It is one thing to vote for whom we choose, another to hold to account. The local meetings and courts deserve to be very busy.

Very pertinent point. My state of Alabama is one of the states that does not provide for recall of the governor. We have been civilly disobedient by keeping our church open and my husband and I will continue being mask-free. Some county sheriffs have also refused to enforce some of our governor’s orders.

ps I just drafted a blog post after writing my state representatives; when I write everything down we are check-mated. All of the leftist governance infrastructure in Alabama has been brought to us by the Republicans: the republican left. Not a chance we are going to get that recall amendment. No matter who gets elected in November, we are in tight spot. If both candidates in a 2 party system are leftists, is there a role for a write in?

Time will tell 🙂 My husband and I (both over 60) have been deemed ‘essential’ and have been out and about this whole time with no masks and we remain well. We personally know 2 individuals that survived the virus, one a CDC nurse in her 30’s and the other a Samaritan’s Purse volunteer in her 60’s that was on hydroxychloroquine. Both recovered at home. All the best.

Well, don’t believe these data too strongly:
– Correlation is not causation, and the riots and the ‘new cases’ may be simple coincidence
– These ‘new cases’ data are now known to be highly inaccurate, and daily mortality is still very low
– The socialist health care workers are cooking the books, and the White House just took data management away from the CDC
But there MIGHT be a real cause-effect relationship between riots/demonstrations and ‘new cases’, and this can and should be investigated. Most rioters are not wearing masks.

True….I’ve heard on Rush a nurse calling in and saying that anyone coming in with anything….is automatically deemed Covid Virus….whether they were or not. On average a hospital makes $40,000 on each of these patients.

In the future if I have to go into a hospital….I just won’t trust them anymore.

And, that was not the only call I’ve heard over the last few months…..across America the “Covid” has enriched the medical community.
But the lies they tell are responsible for us being treated like we live in Russia.

This will all come out later…..and in the future ….no one will ever trust the government about health issues….nor pretty much anything else.

i disagree. when the federal judges grabbed control of the public schools in the cities in 1969 with their idiotic busing decrees, white families left the cities for good and the inexorable death of the american city began. cities are now filled with the democrat base: rich childless white people, homosexuals, blacks and mexicans, muslims, and the drug addicts we call homeless people. they will always be run by democrats, there is no hope for the american city, and i don’t want my tax money spent trying to perform cpr on a smelly corpse. the donald would have been smarter to tell his base to go build new cities outside the city limits of these wretched democrat strongholds.

It’s great in theory, but then the rats come out of those wretched democratic strongholds and infest what has been built. I didn’t see him say anything about giving them money. He’s told Minnesota to go to hell three times. He’s told Chicago to go to hell at least twice. I want to see what these great plans are. I don’t want him to do CPR on a smelly corpse either, but I don’t think sitting back and doing completely nothing is helping him either. What would be best is if there was a Conservative/Republican network who would report what is going on in these toilets around the clock, but there isn’t. My younger sister(who leans to the left) had no clue how long rioting has been going on in Portland Oregon, and most people don’t, because it barely gets reported.

JUST GET PEOPLE TO VOTE CONSERVATIVE within their own communities. VOTING IS EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW until voting becomes illegal, which it will someday after the antichrist comes to rule.

In the meantime, BEING WISE AS A SERPENT like the Bible tells us, is the best course of action. I WOULD TRY TO ARREST EVERY SINGLE CRIMINAL IN ALL THIS. I would send in the NATIONAL GUARD to take back these cities, reinstate the Police, and arrest all criminals that have been released by liberal Governors and Mayors, early.

FREEDOM AND LIBERTY. That is America and our Constitution. Liberals have been trying to do this for years. Either people are wise/smart or they are just plain STUPID, like most Democrats.

I was a Democrat, but I got wise when I became a Christian and my eyes were open to truth. Most people who are NOT true Christians and/or do not know or believe in God, will most likely be liberal by nature. And then, there are those who, no matter what you say or do, will never see the ‘light’, so they will continue to vote by Party rather than by the character of a person.

Your suggestion is NOT very wise.

I have always believed that politicians or judges who release criminals from prison should have skin in the game. If any crimes occur as a result of the criminal they released, they must be held accountable. They are the de facto aider and abettor of the crime so an accomplice. They should be jailed for their crimes. I am sure this will drastically cut down on frivolous actions by judges and politicians who will not want to be imprisoned for playing Russian roulette with people’s lives.

If the guy in the car is the GETAWAY DRIVER and the 2 robbers in the bank shoot someone and kill him, the getaway driver is also charged with MURDER. And so it should be with Democrat Leaders who release criminals without due process (PUT TRACKING ON THEM, ETC.), who then murder someone, rape someone, etc.., THEY SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH THE SAME CRIME.

I don’t believe that the Constitution stops him because the residents of those cities and states who are being victimized are entitled to all the rights given to them under the US Constitution. Those rights do not go away upon the whim of the mayors or governors and they do not go away because of an alleged pandemic or any other medical justification. The federal government has the DUTY to secure those rights for ALL citizens.

Your statement is what we conservatives wish to be the case. The president has done many things to keep the ball in the court of citizens. On the other issue, through the dual-commander agreements and homeland security, the president has considerable authority over guard and state law enforcement, not found directly in the constitution. There is a significant agency structure in place that can put him in charge under certain circumstances. I hope that things are managed locally.

Just curious, not really sure, but here’s my thought. Governors of these states have committed clear criminal acts against the people of this country, and state legislatures have done nothing at all to stop this. clearly they could have. I believe there is supposed to be a checks and balances there, where the state Senate and Congress of each state can over ride a Governor, and for example, say, ‘No, HELL NO’, we are not going to defund the police, or allow riots to continue, or whatever, but crickets. They have simply allowed these Governors to do whatever they have wanted to do unchecked.

That being said, they have put the people in these various states at great risk, and have clearly violated not only the Constitutions of each of these states in so many ways I can’t begin to count, but also the U.S. constitution as a whole. This has also put the economy of the entire country at (clearly) great risk.

All of this being considered, would this not in some way give the President some authority to send in Federal Marshals and criminally charge all of those that would face any such charges for these crimes against the people of the various states and the country as a whole, and then put people who can be trusted in place temporarily until elections could be held as specified under each respective States Constitution, while making sure that each election (say, via National Guard, and I would say $$ well spent, or possibly State Police) was fair, and ballots were counter fairly?

Then public trials could be held, all in accordance with the Constitution, or possibly, if it could be pulled of, through the military, though I would rather not do it that way, as that would bring a temp. Martial Law into it (but then we might get a hanging or two out of it, and not adverse to that).

Seems to me enough is enough, and there must be a way he can put a stop to these idiots…

#VoteOUTAllDemocrats

If an American in a liberal Democrat city is afraid or terrified about what is happening around them BY THEIR OWN PARTY, then will be know as STUPID AND IGNORANT because THEY ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN BY:
1. Voting for a Democrat.
2. Not owning a legal gun and protecting their own.
3. NOT using WISDOM to do the right thing.

Voting Democrat, not doing the right things, not owning a legal gun for protection and not defending your territory being overrun by domestic terrorists AND SUPPORTING THEM TO DEFUND THE POLICE, YOUR ONLY DEFENSE, IS INSANITY IN ITSELF.

DOES ANYONE EVER SEE A CONSERVATIVE DOING ANY OF WHAT THE LIBERAL DOMESTIC TERRORISTS HAVE DONE?

NO.

So is Marshall Law and had that been taken at the beginning we wouldn’t have this destruction and deaths across America. But for some unknown reason the White House delayed doing anything and allowed it to continue to almost a point of no return.

There is a LOT more going on than the news will EVER allow its citizens to see. TRUMP WILL AND IS GOING TO SOLVE THIS LIBERAL PROBLEM IN LIBERALS CITIES AND LIBERAL STATES THAT ONLY LIBERALS HAVE DONE.

Personally, I would allow these liberal terrorists groups to continue their mayhem, but then as Trump, I WOULD CALL ON ALL CCW/GUN OWNERS, TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM, but that’s me and I am sure that could add more problems than it is worth.

Trump has a lot to do. LET HIM DO IT HIS WAY. HE IS NOT A BULLY LIKE MOST DEMS ARE. He gives people a chance UNTIL chances run out and right now ALL THESE INSANE LIBERAL CITIES HAVE RUN OUT OF CHANCES and NOW Trump will take over.

See, I understand EXACTLY Trump’s genius strategy. If you don’t, you have not been paying attention to TRUMP, the man, the Leader.

It’s different this time because George Soros who got a dual citizenship with America and Hungary in 1961…..was just getting started plotting his destruction of America.

What I found to be interesting is the last time this Act was used was under President H.W. Bush to end the L.A. riots after the Rodney King verdict was announced in 1992. The A.G. under HWB was our current A.G. Barr! HWB was invited in by the Governor but putting that aside. A.G. Barr should know if states don’t want Trump in, how to proceed.

Maybe enough time has passed when it is beyond any reasonable doubt that without state cooperation, it is time to send in the troop! This could be Trump’s strategy to avoid impeachment and other problems.

I’m just guessing this could be what he is doing. I don’t think any reasonable person can deny it’s time to go in there and end it except a brain dead liberal.

There is debate on the Insurrection Act if the states don’t want interference from the federal government and would make sense that states would need to also approve of the federal government helping them out as the federal government did in the past. I don’t think we have ever had a state allowing this kind of craziness to continue. Some say the President can use the Insurection Act any time he wishes and others in the legal field say he can’t without the consent of the state.

The last time the Insurrection Act was last used was in 1992 under H.W. Bush to squash the LA riots after the Rodney King verdict and the Governor wanted the federal government involved. Ironically our current Attorney General William Barr, was serving as A.G. for the H.W. Bush administration at that time. Gov. Pete Wilson of California asked H.W.Bush to come in and subdue the rioters. H.W.Bush didn’t just barge in there.

This is from a liberal website – ABC news – and it makes sense for how Trump is handling this –

The law states: “If there is an insurrection in a State, the President, at the request of the State’s legislature, or Governor if the legislature cannot be convened, may call National Guards of other States into Federal service as well as use the Federal military to suppress the insurrection.”

Two other Insurrection Act provisions allow a president to invoke it regardless of a state’s wishes.

One provision permits it to be invoked if the president deems it necessary “to suppress an insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination or conspiracy.”

The law states: “Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages or rebellion against authority of United States makes it impracticable to enforce the law of the United States in any State or territory by judicial proceedings, the President may call into Federal service the militia of any State and use the Federal military to enforce the laws or suppress the rebellion.”

A third option — the most generalized provision — says the president can use the armed forces when there is an interference with federal or state law.

The president may use the military to suppress insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination or conspiracy if
(a) “it so hinders the execution of law of that State and of the United States and it deprives citizens of constitutional rights (e.g. due process); or
(b) it opposes or obstructs the execution of laws or impedes the course of justice. In the event of the deprivation of rights, the State is deemed to have denied its citizens equal protection of laws.”

But first, a proclamation to disperse:

Prior to invoking the Insurrection Act, the president and the attorney general must first issue a “proclamation to disperse.”

If the situation is not cleared, the president may then issue an executive order to send in troops, according to a 2006 report by the Congressional Research Service.

Read the original text of the Insurrection Act :

The original text of the act, which has been amended several times since it was first passed on March 3, 1807, reads as follows:

“An Act authorizing the employment of the land and naval forces of the United States, in cases of insurrections. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That in all cases of insurrection, or obstruction to the laws, either of the United States, or of any individual state or territory, where it is lawful for the President of the United States to call forth the militia for the purpose of suppressing such insurrection, or of causing the laws to be duly executed, it shall be lawful for him to employ, for the same purposes, such part of the land or naval force of the United States, as shall be judged necessary, having first observed all the pre-requisites of the law in that respect.”

I know they are but what they are saying makes sense and aligns with Trump’s actions.

Did you also notice A.G. Barr was the A,G, when President HWB last used the Insurrection Act in 1992? California, DEM Gov. Pete Wilson, asked the feds to come in. A.G. Barr would definitely be consulted on stepping on state rights.

A national emergency has not been proclaimed. Trump was following the law and letting states handle it first unless asked to come in as he was asked to come into Minneapolis by the mayor.

Trump has to walk a fine line whether either one of us likes it or not. That’s just the way it is when you don’t have support. Congress could also have stepped in and passed some legislation and they didn’t so Trump is on his own.

Enough time has passed where if he has support of his cabinet and DHS he could bypass state rights and proclaim that now. A president can’t respond to lawlessness in a lawless manner unless you want a dictator. That’s not something you should want….

“Some say the President can use the Insurection Act any time he wishes and others in the legal field say he can’t without the consent of the state.”

First, if there is insurrection, that means that government of a state has lost control….and can’t do anything. Because if they could do something…it wouldn’t be insurrection.

If a state can’t control it…..The Federal Government is duty bound to go in and save the citizens who had no way to protect themselves, their families, their property, and their businesses.

The Federal Government has only one main job…..protect the citizens/country and property.

All the other things they have intruded on through time are completely against the Constitution. Example: controlling the water ways, lakes, rivers, etc. They took control of that by the consent of the People….who acquiesced through either voting or by not objecting and fighting back.

Because people are being killed and property destroyed, and the State’s governors and Mayors aren’t stopping it….President Trump has every right to send in troops to stop it.

States have rights and the federal government has to respect them. There are requirements that need to be met BEFORE the federal government steps over state rights.

He can’t use the Insurrection Act any time he wants to if a state doesn’t want him in there. That’s why he has only gone in when a state offical requests his help such as in Minneapolis. Below would make sense…. Sorry it is lengthy but it’s not straight forward and dependent on conditions being met.

While that is nice in theory, where will Trump get the support for that? Congress? The Senate? You can’t just arbitraily cut off federal aid like that.
Besides refugees are on hold. We are not accepting them right now.

You seem to be mixing up immigration with refugees. The Wilson-Fish (WF) program is an alternative to traditional state administered refugee resettlement programs for providing assistance (cash and medical) and social services to refugees.

The purposes of the WF program are to:
* Increase refugee prospects for early employment and self-sufficiency
* Promote coordination among voluntary resettlement agencies and service providers
* Ensure that refugee assistance programs exist in every state where refugees are resettled

Some of the democratic cities lost control of them?

No, please be honest with us Mr. President for you well know they turned their cities OVER to the violators.

The best way to have straightened things out would have been to stand up at the very beginning and put a stop to it “before” the massive destruction was done to this country. “Then” Martial Law would have been understandable and acceptable as well.

I for one will be waiting for that news conference of next week but I’m sure you won’t explain why you allowed it to get so far out of hand. From businesses being burned out, auto destroyed, families burned out and murdered, all the way to a one year old baby boy sitting in his stroller to be shot dead. What kind of threat was that one year old, Mr. President and whose hands do you see his blood on?

First you finally called in the National Guard to DC but as soon as DC democratic mayor complained, you did as she wanted and took the Guard out? Doesn’t seem very presidential to my way of thinking. Didn’t Bush do better than that during 9/11?

Oh yes, you can pretty much count on being reelected in November because we won’t vote for a democrat but you might want to pray that a real Constitutional Conservative doesn’t come out in a third party. Many of us that have seen you sign the bill for GMO’s and then going to get rid of drugs but instead signed the bill for medical marijuana which masses are now taking who never before took any drugs. Even expectant mothers right up to the baby’s birth. Guess they either don’t know or care that marijuana goes into fatty tissue and a baby’s brain is mainly fatty tissue. Won’t know what harm may have been done to them for awhile yet. And who will shoulder the responsibility if they have serious mental problems?

Yes, I am mad at the man I too voted for. But I am madder at those Christians who give him a pass if they see just one thing that makes them happy. Oh yes, God did put him into office but have they all forgotten that He also put into office the devils own, Obama? I just don’t understand a Christian having a double standard but it sure looks that way or they are knowingly deceiving themselves and for that they will answer to the Lord for.

I understand that many will be angry with me as the truth can hurt. Have your say. You are still entitled and better grab it will you can for at the rate we have been allowed to go, your freedom of speech won’t be very lasting now…

ARE YOU BLAMING TRUMP FOR THIS? You are very unwise. WHY? For one, our Constitution gives STATES rights over the Federal Govt, genius. So far, Trump has tried to give THEM the opportunity to GET IT RIGHT within their own cities/States. THEN, the Feds can step in IF THEY DO NOT GET IT RIGHT and all this MAYHEM and DOMESTIC TERRORISM (BLM/ANTIFA, ETC.) IS NOT GETTING IT RIGHT, IS IT? SO, YOU WANT TRUMP AS A DICTATOR OVER THE STATES before the States can solve their own problems?

I actually think our President is a GENIUS. He had a great strategy all along, allowing these liberal cities and States to solve their own problems, KNOWING that they would just make it worse and the Dems would show the rest of the country how really evil they are.

It is my understanding that Trump can’t just charge into a city and take over. He has to have approval of a Governor or a Mayor for this kind of a situation. Other Presidents had no problem bringing in the National Guard because they cooperated with the President and allowed them in. The reason Minneapolis got control back was because Mayor Frey asked Trump to come in and get it under control. Since then his city council all voted to defund the police. I have no idea how that will ultimately end up.

It is my understanding that Trump’s withdrawal from D.C. was because of the D.C. Mayor’s complaint of not wanting his interference. States and apparently the District of Columbia have rights too. In the past, states were more sane and regardless of party didn’t want this in their cities. Congress could do something about this and refuses to do anything. So would would you like Trump impeached? Neither party wants him as President and they certainly don’t want him to have a second term.

Don’t misunderstand me, I’d like our “law and order” President to stop this too! I also agree with you that it should have been nipped in the bud. I believe allot of people share your sentiment. I wouldn’t be surprised if low poll numbers for Trump are related to this view. It’s discouraging to say the least at what is happening and not happening.

Can the president call martial law? On a national level, both the president and Congress has the power to impose martial law, since both can be in charge of the Militia.
In each state, the governor has the right to impose martial law within the borders of the state.
Trump had no trouble calling in the National Guard to DC but when the DC mayor wanted them out he obeyed her wishes and removed them.
I wonder why Minneapolis went to the president instead of acting on their own? Probably because they were trying to flatter him so they could later hit him up for the feds to bail them out.

It is people like us that are going to be paying the price of this destruction.

Do you see the insurance companies that have to pay for this, not raising our auto and homeowners insurance. Then will also come higher property taxes. Last year my property tax doubled, from 1,000 something to over 3,000 dollars and that was just to pay for the education of the thousand new illegals that my sanctuary county allowed in and an 80 some year old must pay. What about those that get more income than my 1,008 a month. I’m in too bad a shape to move and if this keeps up I won’t be able to afford to live. Now that’s scary.

No, I do not expect low pole numbers for Trump and you shouldn’t either. Those #’s that says Biden is doing so well, aren’t real and neither are low #’s for Trump. We who voted for Trump couldn’t vote for a democrat. He can count on our vote unless a Constitutional Conservative comes on a third party ticket that we can believe trustworthy. Only then would he have a problem.

Don’t misunderstand me. More than I get mad at Trump, I get mad because so many people follow the democrats example and see only what they want. If Trump is to be accepted, then he should be accepted by those that don’t only look at the good, but accept him and admit to the mistakes he makes. I’m more mad at the people that seem to be becoming more like democrats by the day.

Have I made any sense at all? Most don’t seem to understand what I’ve been trying to say…

” On a national level, both the president and Congress has the power to impose martial law, since both can be in charge of the Militia.”

The DEMS in Congress would never go along with that. They could have acted on this too and didn’t. Congress would oppose Trump on that and there is another impeachmen opening…

“In each state, the governor has the right to impose martial law within the borders of the state.”

DEM Governors refused to do that.

“Trump had no trouble calling in the National Guard to DC but when the DC mayor wanted them out he obeyed her wishes and removed them.”

While Trump was out of town in Main, jerk Esper, his Acting Secretary of Homeland Security, over ruled Trump and allowed them in UNARMED. I couldn’t believe that but that is what Esper did. He was wrong to do that….It also shows off Trump’s lack of support by his own people…. It’s disgusting.

“I wonder why Minneapolis went to the president instead of acting on their own?”

He needed more man power.

It’s been years since I looked at exclusions in an insurance policy but I am not sure that riots are covered. That is more than the usual vandalism…

I hope they are not as low as shown but I can understand frustration by his base and others.

You’re a Christain. He looks out for followers. It’s allot to ask but continue to trust Him. He will take care of you. Matthew 10:29-31 should help. May I also say, you sound like a wonderful person to

Ah but if the republicans stood together, the republican senate could overrule the dems.
The dems don’t go along with anything that is right, moral or legal. As for those impeachments, I think they are only to distract us because they sure aren’t getting anywhere with them.

In part: “Congress has the power not only to raise and support and govern armies but to declare war. It has, therefore, the power to provide by law for carrying out war. This power necessarily extends to all legislatio essential to the prosecution of war with vigor and success, except such as interferes with the command of the forces and the conduct of campaigns. That power and duty belong to the President as commander-in-chief. Both these powers are derived from the Constitution, but neither is defined by that instrument. Their extent must be determined by their nature, and by the principles of our institutions.” Article 11, Section 2, Clause 1: constitution congress. gov/ Or there’s National Criminal Justice Reference Service, NCJRS: “Martial law involves the temporary substitution of military authority for civilian rule and is usually invoked in time of war, rebellion, or natural disaster.” Martial law is justified when civilian authority has ceased to function, is completely absent, or has become ineffective. Further, martial law suspends all existing laws, as well as civil authority and the ordinary admin. of justice. In The United States, martial law may be declared by proclamation of the President or a State governor. Martial law has been declared 9 times since WW 2 and, in 5 instances, was designed to counter resistance to Fed. desegregation decrees in the South.

There were those that see everything as a conspiracy against them. In other words those that are paranoid, that saw martial law as a way to take good citizens to “concentration camps” of which they’d never leave or live through. Honestly I read that on so many different sites, you wouldn’t believe it. Our nation is going crazy!

If it was Esper that removed the National Guard from DC, why the following? From 6/7/20: “President Trump said Sunday he had ordered the National Guard to start the process of withdrawing from Washington, D.C., now that everything is under perfect control.” Yet tens of thousands of people descended on the city for a weekend of protest over the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police.

The best I could find on Mark Esper was that “he said he was going to send them home, only to then change his mind later in the day.”

After a lifetime of seeing how the dems only want to take America down, bankrupt and make us a 3rd world country because they think that’s the answer to getting the New World Order in, I have lived with frustration for oh so many years. Online is the only way I can get some of that stress out of my system. Yes these are the days that prophecy is being fulfilled. The Lord told us because He was hated we would be too. In that respect we are in the best of company. : ) But He failed to mention that we would be hated for the color of our skin that God chose to make us. Guess that’s my problem there. lol

Any of their unfair treatment prior to me being born and not being a part of it is also my fault. What a burden, huh? I mean that sarcastically. Sometimes that doesn’t always come through in text. Sometimes in the midst of all the madness, you just have to laugh at the sheer imbecility of people.

Okay one more example of the madness. This should make you laugh once you get past the shock of it. Keep in mind, if a state allows you to go to church, with social distancing and masks on you are now banned from singing in Calif. but protesters are allowed to violate all those requirements and more! It boggles the mind! You don’t get choices!

Fauci: Not safe to distribute Communion,
but sex with strangers ‘your choice’

Thu May 28, 2020 – 3:31 pm EST

WASHINGTON, D.C., May 28, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of President Donald Trump’s top coronavirus advisors, has called on the Church not to distribute Holy Communion during the coronavirus pandemic, but last month said sex with strangers is fine “if you’re willing to take a risk.”

Asked if the Eucharist can be distributed in a safe way, Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, responded with an emphatic “no.”

“I think for the time being, you just gotta forestall that,” Fauci told America Magazine during an interview on Tuesday.

“It depends on where you are,” he then backpedaled. “If you are in a region, a city, a county, where there is a significant amount of infection, I think with distributing Communion, I think that would be risky. I’m telling you that as a Catholic, it would be risky.”

“As many times as a priest can wash his hands, he gets to Communion, he puts it in somebody’s hand, they put it in their mouth … it’s that kind of close interaction that you don’t want when you’re in the middle of a deadly outbreak,” he added.

Last month, Fauci said it was “tough” to say whether it was alright during the pandemic to have sex with strangers met on dating apps like Tinder, but “if you’re willing to take a risk—and you know, everybody has their own tolerance for risks—you could figure out if you want to meet somebody.”

“And it depends on the level of the interaction that you want to have. If you’re looking for a friend, sit in a room and put a mask on, and you know, chat a bit. If you want to go a little bit more intimate, well, then that’s your choice regarding a risk,” he said. Fauci added it’s important to “make sure the person is feeling well.”

Following Fauci’s comments during a congressional hearing on May 12, during which he spoke about the risks of reopening the country too soon, President Donald Trump himself came out against Fauci.

“I was surprised by his answer, actually, because, you know, to me it’s not an acceptable answer, especially when it comes to schools,” the President said, explaining that Fauci “wants to play all sides of the equation.”

How could I possibly disagree with you?! I just heard about our melanin problem from Nick Cannon on Blaze and I didn’t realize how much it had to do with who we are and our soul too! A real live and learn time for us idiots.
My first husband died during Viet Nam and my second due to heart problems. His doctor said that he was sure to have another massive heart attack id he couldn’t take a lesson from me. He kept everything inside and only got things out of his system alone, in thought. Anything that disrupted my life, everyone heard about it. I couldn’t keep it to myself and I would cry or whatever it took to erase the problem. With the death of my first husband I couldn’t do that because my baby (now 55) was only 3-4 at the time. I could only cry when I went to bed at night or in the shower for I had to work out. It was during that time in my 80’s that my heart started to race like a train and all I could do about it was sit it out. Med’s had to be taken at the time. Once I had raised them and all four were married I could cry or talk to myself or whatever it took to get stuff out of my system. No meds and no rushing heart until four or five years ago when something happened online that upset me to the point that it returned. No meds now but I manage to keep it under control and back to getting stuff out of my system. lol
Just the name Fauci makes my blood boil. Another dem with his hand in the cookie jar and doesn’t care about anyone or anything else. At the beginning pres said he trusted Fauci but then even he saw that Fauci was working against him. It’s hard for him to admit when he’s wrong about a person. You, I, we would chalk it up to experience but he takes it personally.
POTUS is suppose to be giving us some new information soon. Hope I don’t miss it.
NJ and MD aren’t that far apart and the weather’s about the same for us both. After a lifetime with humidity, I couldn’t take the NM dry heat, it caused me to blister the one time I vacationed there. Ouch!
Will check your site out and thanks…

Take good care of yourself and be be extra careful out there. People are not behaving rationally. Stay close to your family and especially your grand children. Let them serve as a distraction.

We truly are living in prophetic times like none other that we have experienced. News will at times still be upsetting but more accurate information will help allot – whether it is good or bad.

The COVID-19 fear mongering will probably result in mail in ballots for the general and we could very easily lose to Biden. Instead of outcome based education it will be outcome based voter result. They are still being dishonest in counting the newly infected and the death count and it’s all for political reasons.

Forget a third party for President. They have to start in the lower ranks and work up credibiliy locally and that takes time we no longer have. You could rush it and have another Ross Perot, Reform Party outcome that let Clinton get elected. Perot was the spoiler and split the Republican vote. Perot died in 2019. What Perot predicted with his flip charts about NAFTA and a few other issues was proven to be correct!

BTW, I am not angry with you. I understand where you are coming from and we have frustration in common.

One has to remove the Mayors and other corrupt officials before one can start to bring back any sense of Law and Order

ANTIFA are Catholics? Give me a break, they would have no problems vandalizing a cathedral. If they have a working relationship with any religion, it would be islam.

I did not write it but by Catholics
Michael’s Media is a 501(c)(3)
organization which operates in the State of Michigan under the
officially-registered assumed name of Church Militant via the website ChurchMilitant.com. Church Militant is a Catholic lay apostolate and traditional Catholic news website founded by Michael Voris.

The cartoon suggests the CC is directly funding ANTIFA — a clear lie. The radical groups being funded by CCHD are NOT ANTIFA. It’s bearing false witness.

Really good political cartoon. Thanks. It was the same with the Nazis getting out of Germany and probably during the war, too, so it’s not just this pope.

Yes it comes from the ChurchMilitant, a Catholic site. I liked it as it states the facts.

No that is why the Archives on Pope Pius XII is open. Must look up if any new finds soon.

Been going over previous history

PRESIDENT TRUMP:
Democrat Mayors WILL NOT ALLOW YOU to interfere because THEY ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM, so whatever you do, make sure IT IS LEGAL AND WHEN YOU DO IT, FORCE THE MAYORS TO STEP ASIDE.

Wait a minute. The left de-funds police. Violence rises. Citizens cry out for order. And central government complies. Nay. The citizens need to get control and fix this LOCALLY. The last thing we want is deployment of the already codified central-control-of-law-enforcement; we need to work on abolishing that command and control.

DEMS are in charge of each of these cities. Every single one of them! The locals aren’t stopping it and have no intention of stopping it. The locals are DEMS and locals keep voting them in. These cities have been run by DEMS for decades.

Trump isn’t federalizing police like Obama was trying to do. So that leaves us with the National Guard. Is the National Guard what you are referring to as the “codified central-control-of-law-enforcement” ? Do you want the National Guard abolished too?

Point taken. Here is what happened in my state under Republicans. Read below and then imagine the LEFT taking federal control. As we sit here today the left controls the House, SCOTUS, blue states and many red states. (This is why we can never agree to a convention of states.) The following 2 events happened in my state (Alabama) while under Republican control. When I brought these governance issues to our county commission, they left it completely out of the minutes. And when I called our state Republican Party about it they put me on speaker and howled with laughter. It was humiliating. But they denied nothing.

1. Love the National Guard; traditionally they were commanded by the governor of their state which I wish we had kept. We all saw in real time the state guard be called up by the president, recently. Unfortunately, a direct chain of command has been developed to the president(under certain circumstances); the governors were reluctant to agree to this, during development of the dual-commander for homeland combined military + national guard operations, but relented when they were offered the Council of Governors . The council, which I think is unconstitutional, was made into law during one federal administration( republican) then enacted as leverage to get governors approval for the dual-commander during another (democrat.) The council creates an idea about agreements between states and regionalization, a communist form of governance. It has yet to be challenged in court. (I thought maybe some of this was being rolled out earlier when New York and some surrounding states agreed among themselves to a certain positions against the president during lockdown, but am not sure.)

2. The codified central-control-of-law-enforcement is a chain of command that goes up to the president through the fusion centers in the arena of homeland security. In my state, state law enforcement was consolidated under a new cabinet position that is over both state law enforcement and State Homeland Security. The merging occurs at the fusion centers where state transferred all their IT equipment and staff.

So as you can see; the president can, under certain circumstances, command all government guns in my state.

Across the Nation, there is but one entity to blame for the violence, the unrest, the lawlessness, the crimes, the murders, the looting, the destruction, the burning…and it is the DEMOCRAT PARTY. PERIOD.
