"Marxism sucks, and socialism is the creed of ignorance, the philosophy of failure and the gospel of envy". An absolute true statement!

 

The Political Shapeshifters

This coming Halloween, the biggest ghouls, goblins, and scary specters are the political shapeshifters of the Marxist left in America.

In Texas, early voting has begun for this critical midterm election cycle. Now, let’s all be honest here: Republicans are not the best at messaging and can often be counted upon to steal defeat from the jaws of victory. We have addressed the issue of “affordability” on these pages and the absurdity that Marxists would claim to own such a narrative. But what is more telling about these leftists is their shape-shifting nature, which has been on full display recently. I remember how Tim Russert of Meet the Press, when it was credible, would ask a politician a question. If they would seek to shape-shift on Russert, he would simply challenge them by playing a video of them contradicting themselves. That formula of exposing deceit seems to not be part of the current Meet the Press style of journalistic integrity. Or, for that matter, what we witnessed from CNN last week during a town hall event with Texas State Representative James Talarico.

I must admit, Talarico must have attended the Barack Hussein Obama course for misdirection. I was truly shocked at his “unity” message attempt. It reminded me of Obama’s famous “there are no Blue states or Red states, just the United States of America.” Mind you, this was the same charlatan, original shapeshifter, who would later assert that “we are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States.” With State Rep. Talarico, it was quite offensive for him to believe that no one had paid any attention to his voting record. Well, the useful idiots, mindless lemmings, and low-hanging fruit voters who make up the Marxist base do not. But to the mindful individual, it was laughable to see and hear Talarico’s shape-shifting endeavor to remake himself as some “moderate” leftist. All of a sudden, Rep. Talarico sought to make us believe he is some type of border security hawk, when his voting record and rhetoric say the opposite.

And to dismiss his words on trans Texans, including children, and other issues as just being provocative is rather disingenuous. Let’s not forget Hasan Piker’s recent visit to the University of Texas, where he basically stated that Talarico can say whatever he wants, but if elected, he will do the bidding of the Marxists of the DSA.

This is not a new phenomenon with the Marxist left in America. As stated, Barack Obama, or Barry Soetoro, was an adept shapeshifter, as well as Joe Biden. They are experiencing the same thing in the Commonwealth of Virginia with their governor, Abigail Spanberger. At least we have the semblance of honor with the avowed and overt Marxists of the DSA who tell you exactly who they are and what they want. And no, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, this is not about Woke 1.0; it is the desired ideological agenda to destroy our Constitutional Republic.

Then there is the cheeky fellow running for U.S. Senate in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed. Here is a political shapeshifter who is abjectly angry that he is being exposed. Well, not so much by Kristen Welker of Meet the Press. Oh boy, do we miss Tim Russert! Just to set the record straight, Mr. El-Sayed penned a letter of support for the Muslim Brotherhood president of Egypt, Mohamed Morsi. However, fear not, he is in good company with Barack Hussein Obama, who also supported Morsi’s coming to power. And it was Obama who invited Muslim Brotherhood members to attend his June 2009 speech at the University of Cairo. So, let’s not be fooled: El-Sayed is not the MB’s first foray into American political candidacy. As well, it was just this past Labor Day weekend when El-Sayed spoke at the 63rd annual conference of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) in Detroit, Michigan. ISNA is listed as the #1 organization in the Muslim Brotherhood’s 1991 Strategic Memorandum for North America.

But hey, pay no attention to the facts. El-Sayed says he loves everyone, including Jews. Yet, in a debate with his opponent, former Congressman Mike Rogers, he could not answer a simple question: who is a bigger enemy to America, Israel or Iran? And his insidious response of “hurt people hurt people” to somehow give justification to Islamic jihadism is repulsive.

The political shapeshifters abound in the Marxist leftist political party that we once knew as the Democratic Party. It is not about the rhetoric, but the actions. After all, if the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was intended to make healthcare in America affordable, it certainly failed. And that deceit is right up there with the Inflation Reduction Act. Yeah, remember, inflation under the Biden administration hit a 40-year high of 9.1%. Another political shapeshifter, Jimmy Carter of the Marxist left, held the previous record.

Nope, Republicans can’t put together a coherent message to articulate their efforts. And yes, they let America down by not passing the SAVE America Act. Gasoline prices are indeed high, but it is because we have finally taken on the number-one state sponsor of Islamic terrorism. Leftists want the gas prices high to force you into their insidious world of electric vehicles, which are expensive.

Marxism sucks, and socialism is the creed of ignorance, the philosophy of failure and the gospel of envy. That is why leftists always promise a utopia of free stuff, which ends up being an equal sharing of misery. Now, they cannot rightly just admit to that. This is why this coming Halloween, the biggest ghouls, goblins, and scary specters are the political shapeshifters of the Marxist left in America. They promise treats, but you always end up getting tricked!

"The creation of city and state sanctuaries was supposedly intended to protect illegal immigrants from unfair treatment. It’s a scam. In fact, they harm the American citizens those states and cities are bound to protect".

 

The Great Sanctuary Scam

State and city sanctuaries supposedly protect illegals from unfair treatment, but they in fact harm the American citizens they should be protecting.

Jack DeVine Contributor patriotpost.us 10-21-26

I have no idea who chose the label “sanctuary” for either the concept or its practical execution of the Left’s aggressive opposition to enforcement of our nation’s immigration laws. Regardless, it was a politically brilliant choice — and at the same time, immeasurably harmful.

The word sanctuary evokes feelings of safety, security, and shelter. In church, the sanctuary is a sacred space, often near the altar, where one communes with the Almighty. In the outdoors, bird and animal sanctuaries protect endangered species from predators.

And now we have political sanctuaries — by the Justice Department’s count, 11 states, the District of Columbia, 18 cities, and three counties — that have adopted and implemented various ways to block the federal government’s efforts to detain and deport illegal immigrants, particularly those engaged in violent criminal actions.

So, let’s be very clear. The first responsibility of our government at every level — federal, state, and local — is to protect its citizens. The deliberate choice by state and local law enforcement not to support — and in some cases to actively obstruct — federal efforts to do so has exactly the opposite effect. Rather than protecting our citizens, sanctuary policies and practices expose them to serious risk. The all-too-common consequence is grievous, sometimes fatal harm to our own citizens. Lives are destroyed; people die.

The designation and details of sanctuary practices vary from place to place, but all are in Democrat-led jurisdictions and are largely motivated by political disagreement with federal efforts to deal with the consequences of years of uncontrolled illegal entry into our nation by unknown, unvetted migrants, and particularly the flood of illegals during the Biden administration.

Of course, not all illegal migrants are violent criminals. But too many are. Some are affiliated with known criminal gangs, some have violent backgrounds, and some obviously come to the U.S. with the intent of continuing their violent activities. We know that the illegal immigrants number in the millions (perhaps north of 20 million), but in most cases, we don’t know who they are, where they live, and which ones pose danger to Americans.

Crime statistics usually don’t classify immigration status, so we don’t know, precisely, what fractions of those crimes were committed by illegal aliens. But here’s what we know for sure:

• Every one of those heinous crimes — murder, rape, assault, drug distribution, human trafficking — found to have been committed by illegal immigrants would have been prevented had our border been closed (as it is now).

• Even with the millions of unvetted illegal immigrants now here, a significant fraction of the violent crimes committed by the criminals among them would have been prevented if federal immigration agents (primarily ICE) and local judicial and law enforcement personnel had cooperated in prompt removal of those engaged in criminal activity as soon as they were identified. In sanctuary jurisdictions, the opposite is currently the rule.

Last week, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin reported that New York City judicial and law enforcement authorities have chosen to take no action on thousands of detainer orders on illegal immigrants in their custody. Instead, in each instance, a known or suspected violent criminal was released from their custody into the population at large, effectively saying to ICE, Good luck with finding and nabbing this character before he or she hurts someone else.

It has become painfully obvious that local entities’ deliberate noncooperation with federal authorities is grossly improper. As one example, does it make any sense at all for federal agents attempting to apprehend dangerous criminals to simultaneously control automobile traffic in the area? That’s not just just senseless; it’s insane — and exactly what happens in sanctuary cities, where local police are directed to stand back and watch from the sidelines as the chairs unfold. The inevitable result? As we saw in Minneapolis, somebody dies.

Note that when the above reality is mentioned, apologists are always quick to point out that illegal immigrants are statistically no more dangerous than American citizens — an argument that is both highly questionable (see the above comment about statistics) and certainly irrelevant. Let your head play for a minute with the notion that we should not be overly concerned about illegal immigrant monsters in our midst because we already have a proportionally similar number of American-born monsters.

Seriously? Try consoling the mother whose daughter was raped and murdered by an illegal alien — someone we’d neglected to remove from our society — by assuring her that her daughter’s heinous assault could just as easily have happened at the hands of an American-born assailant.

I believe that sanctuary policies and practices are inherently unconstitutional, and in fact there are numerous lawsuits working their way through the legal system challenging the legality of such policies and practices. But I’ve lost all patience with the tedious and seemingly endless legalistic debates over the subtle conflict between the federal government’s authority to enforce the law and the right of states and cities to demonstrate their objection to it.

I propose a simpler solution: Let’s skip that part altogether. If our two political sides would simply recall their common responsibility, stop arguing, and instead commit to working together constructively in service to the people they’ve sworn to protect, the entire debate would evaporate. Poof — job done, lawsuits tossed in the circular file, lives saved.

In their politically opportunistic fight with ICE’s supposed reign of terror, sanctuary cities and states make the jobs of federal agents (who work for us) immeasurably more dangerous, and they simultaneously expose their own citizens to both the danger posed by violent criminals in their neighborhoods and the very real dangers that come with unhelpful, aggressive opposition.

The creation of city and state sanctuaries was supposedly intended to protect illegal immigrants from unfair treatment. It’s a scam. In fact, they harm the American citizens those states and cities are bound to protect.

 

This devastating practice must end! It is unconstitutional, expensive and a serious security risk!

 

The High Cost of Birthright Citizenship

Granting citizenship to anyone born on American soil is more than a fiscal issue; it’s a national security issue.

Thomas Gallatin Contributor patriotpost.us 10-21-26

Birth tourism is a significant problem for the U.S., which the U.S. Supreme Court effectively ignored in its woefully wrong ruling earlier this year against President Donald Trump’s executive order curtailing nearly unlimited birthright citizenship.

The problem stems from an overly broad reading of the 14th Amendment, fueling a growing industry of both nefarious individuals and nations that are exploiting America’s open-ended birthright citizenship standard. Freedom isn’t free, and neither is handing out citizenship to all comers.

Recently, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) estimated the annual cost of birthright citizenship to American taxpayers at $150.7 billion. Roughly half of this annual sum goes to educating foreign children born in the U.S., while the rest funds various healthcare and welfare programs, such as food assistance for these children.

Put bluntly, this is theft.

That’s how President Trump sees it as well, as he issued two executive orders following the Court’s ruling that are more targeted and aim to tackle specifically the problem of birth tourism and protect American citizenship.

As FAIR director of investigations Mateo Forero warns, “We have this opening for foreign nationals from places like China who are essentially farming U.S. citizenship. You have U.S.-born individuals who are then actually living their entire lives back in China under the Chinese Communist Party, which has clearly adversarial interests against the United States. So it’s a national security concern as well.”

Furthermore, Forero points out, “Wealthy foreign nationals increasingly hire American surrogates so their biological children are born on U.S. soil and acquire citizenship automatically — bypassing even the need for the mother to travel.”

Effectively, China is breeding an army, all of whom will technically hold U.S. citizenship.

As the official State Department’s Foreign Affairs Manual currently reads, “Children born in the United States acquire U.S. citizenship at birth regardless of the use of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) and/or surrogacy.”

According to the Center for Immigration Studies, an estimated 20,000 to 26,000 annual births in the U.S. fall under this birth tourism category, with an additional 225,000 to 250,000 annual births to illegal aliens.

Numbers like these demonstrate that this is not a minor problem, and indeed, given the fact that the majority of birth tourism is tied to China, it is a serious national security issue.

Forero argues that Congress must act, especially since Trump’s options are limited and ultimately temporary, particularly if a Democrat follows him into office. “States and Congress need to take a long, hard look at what the rules around surrogacy and cross-border surrogacy specifically need to be and what reforms are necessary,” Forero states.

While the immediate high annual cost to American taxpayers is problematic enough, especially given our nation’s massive debt, the future problems are even more concerning, for this is creating a significant population of people who are legally American but hold no love for or commitment to this country and our Constitution.

Indeed, the U.S. is already suffering from a massive segment of the population that holds an anti-American bias, primarily from those on the Left who have effectively been raised to loathe America and her history, founding, liberty, and strength.

Allowing the continued exploitation of birthright citizenship only undermines our nation and our people’s interests.

 

Our Great Republic will determine its future on 'Election Day'! Vote- the right way!

 

‘A Republic... If You Can Keep It’

Have we reached the tipping point where we may lose this Republic? Let’s look at our current reality.

Roger Helle Contributor patriotpost.us 10-19-26

We are two weeks away from the midterm elections. Campaign ads are everywhere, with each political party telling us why their candidates should be in charge.

The Democrats’ strategy as a whole is, Trump is bad, but we’re good.

We will know soon whether the Republicans got their message out. Unfortunately, they have not done a good job of doing that so far. They have not sold the positive things Donald Trump has done because, well, he’s Trump! The GOP seems positioned to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory — again!

While the economy is not exploding like it was in Trump’s first term, many good things have happened that you will never read about in the legacy media. Next month, we will be able to ascertain whether the message of greed, envy, and hate defeated sanity, sound economic policy, and outright patriotism, the latter being in short supply.

This pattern has been described before.

When the Revolutionary War was over and the Hand of God was evident throughout that great struggle, a Constitutional Convention was called to unite the 13 colonies into one uniform type of government. After weeks of chaos and angry tirades, the eldest statesman in the room, Benjamin Franklin, finally brought spiritual faith into the discussion. The result: “A Republic... if you can keep it.”

Have we reached the tipping point where we may lose this Republic? Let’s look at our current reality.

The “Fatal Sequence” is exactly what is happening now — politicians outdoing each other by promising more and more “free” stuff. This sequence was described by Henning Webb Prentis Jr. like this:

1. From bondage to spiritual faith

2. From spiritual faith to great courage

3. From courage to liberty

4. From liberty to abundance

5. From abundance to complacency

6. From complacency to apathy

7. From apathy to dependence

8. From dependence back into bondage

This is America in a nutshell. It took a Great Awakening prior to the Revolutionary War to bring spiritual faith to the colonies to throw off the yoke of bondage from England. That courage led to liberty and then to abundance, as America is the most prosperous nation on earth.

But this abundance has led to complacency. We are taking our freedoms for granted and expecting government to meet our needs. As a result, greed and corruption are rampant in our society. Many feel entitled to what others labored for as if it is owed to them. We understand, because extremists tell them they are owed what others have. The next step is dependence. Politicians tell us, Government will take care of you. You don’t even need to work for it — someone else will.

That dependency will take us back into bondage. What government gives, it can also take away. Government will decide what medical care you will receive. Government will decide what and how much food you need. Government will decide if you need a car, a bus, or a bike. What could go wrong?

Socialism/Marxism always leads to shared misery. Always! 

God help us if this is where we are. But if it is, we can start all over again by having the kind of faith that defeated Great Britain and that can defeat the communists who try to control our lives.

Let’s pray we get to step one, “spiritual faith,” before hitting step eight, “bondage.”

Something to pray about!
