I am a republican and a conservative and voted for Donald Trump 3 times.  I lately have watched in horror as my republican congress people debate the latest tax / budget bill.  While I am all for pushing the undeserving able bodied people off Medicaid, enforcing the border and removing illegal immigrants and rebuilding our military using independent auditors, I am not pleased with the republicans plan entirely.  I live in New Jersey if not the highest one of the highest property taxed states in the US and was glad when the first Trump administration set the Salt deduction at 10,000.00.  Now I see as part of the tax plan they have raised that to 30,000.00 and congress people like Lawler from NY don’t think that’s high enough.  This is in fact an outright gimme to the wealthy in America, and is proof  that several Republican congress people are willing to sacrifice what’s good for the country to what’s good for the wealthy.  In New Jersey if you are concerned about paying even anything over 20k in property tax’s you are not middle class and the only reason for our taxes being so high in NJ is the corrupt politicians and their corrupt public union labor contracts let alone their wasteful spending.  As President Trump rightly pointed out last term no reason for all Americans to pay for this.
Saving Social Security should start with congress passing a law that states those with a net worth of 5 million or above can’t receive Social Security while eliminating  any estate estate tax’s from their immediate  families providing they haven’t moved large sums out of their names for the past twenty years. No trusts etc.  Congress should immediately  pass a law that not only forbids  any further raising  of the budget cap but makes it reduce the cap by 5% every year until the is no deficit eliminating  the 5% rule unless we begin a deficit  again.  Congress should further make law that any politicians who misappropriated  the peoples the people’s money  should face a mandatory  minimum 5 yrs. In prison with assets seized to repay the people’s money.  Further any congress person or senator that owes back taxes should be allowed 30 days to pay the people’s money or face immediate asset seizure.

    I worked in the oil and gas fields in both Prudhoe Bay Ak. delivering goods from Fairbanks 2 seasons as well as fueling drill rigs from my tanker trailer in the Bakken fields of North Dakota for 4 yrs.  And my feeling about gas and oil production in America is this.  The industry directly creates some very good high paying jobs while the ripple effect from it creates many  good high paying jobs think new tanker trains trucks and so on.  Directional drilling and fracking are truly amazing technologies and allow America to be truly energy independent and while drilling today is much cleaner then the past, fracking is a dirty business.   So America should use this and other sources to be completely energy independent we the people shouldn’t allow oil and gas production for export in other words profit for the industry even if we have to federally put a price floor under oil per barrel.  Our earth and our children will be much better for it.

On January 6th 2021 President Donald Trump had averaged appx. a 46% approval rating during his four years in office. For well over a decade Congress averaged an 18% approval rating. Why would anyone be stupid enough to think that the capital riot was anything but patriotic Americans venting their anger at our entirely corrupt And inept Congress. Taxation without representation theft and many high crimes. What a missed opportunity, what would the founders have done?

All working class Americans should immediately stop going to work. Our government has wasted our money for decades and now it has become obscene. The progressives want to pay for child care, free tuition and unbelievably give illegals half of a million dollars for sneaking into our country. That’s bad but they don’t have any money they confiscate it from us. At my last trucking job I floated for Pilot Truck Stops would stay out 5 weeks and work as needed East of the Mississippi living in their Truck stops at night. You would be surprised at how many Americans by birth are living in their cars. They would come in at night as Pilot is open all night and safe and just sleep among their possessions in the car. The progressives have no mercy for them. So if we refuse to go to our jobs no pay no taxes for the government to waste. Just think of it if we all do this what could happen. Make no rent or mortgage payments, car payments what would happen. Nothing because the banks can’t take houses they can’t maintain or resell neither do they have an outlet for our cars so let them have it Wall Street and the giant banks would collapse. Instead of working like a hamster on a wheel at Amazon stay home and watch Bezos go broke in a matter of months and not be allowed to play Rocket man. The only true power we the people have is to defund the government madness and vote. Take away their money takes away their power to waste and swindle us let’s do this

We now have a President that sends our border patrol to contain his immigration mess in Texas This is into a crowd of thousands of illegal immigrants that vastly outnumbered the border patrol. Because they used horses to cover ground and contain these illegals and try to survive the mission The President that sent them denounces their actions on national TV. This shortly after he screwed our allies and friends in Afghanistan. Yet he is all about killing our born and unborn here at home. He is the Wizard of Oz who is behind the curtain

I would like to start off I saying that I have known and am sure there are many brave honest law enforcement officers in America today. I am also very much for timely and thorough background checks on citizens wanting to purchase weapons. This should include a no doctor patient privilage rule requireing those treating certain mental illnesses to add the infomation to a univeral background check database. I would add that being from NJ I don’t own guns but consider myself able to properly defend myself and family with a gun should the need arise.

This being said I have watched in horror as more often then not the police standby refusing to confront active shooters committing mass murder out of fear for their own well being. Columbine the police withdrew when fired at allowing the further slaughter of students and teachers. The gay nite club I think in Fla. when you can hear the police commander telling his officers pull back shoots fired knowing those very shoots were killing the innocent inside the club. And most recently the school mass shooting again in Fla. including video of the armed officer hired to protect the school standing frozen outside listening to the slaughter of the innocent inside. This was bad enough however what inspired me to write this post was reading in the WSJ this past week that the parents of some of the slain in Fla brought suit against the concerned police departments and negligent officers. And a judge ruled that in fact the police are under no legal obligation to put themselves in harms way to protect us or our children. I have also watched or read many accounts of law enforcement shooting to death unarmed americans. I believe there are three reasons for this. First all of the inner cities being controlled by Democrats for decades are so corrupt that they have looted the cities while simultaneously depriving the citizens an education leaving the vast majority no way forward.

This got me thinking about the fact that in spite of the governments, mostly Democrats best efforts to disarm the civilians in our country our 2nd amendment gives us not only the right to keep arms we have the right to bear them. And given that very same govenment apparently does’nt believe law enforcement has any obligation to protect us, what choice do able law abiding ciitzens have. I have been around 61 years and am of the opinion now that civilians should lawfully purchase arms learn to maintain them and be able to use them during a high stakes situation in or out of the home. And no matter what our completely disfunctional government says dont hesitate to bear them.
