Citizens Dedicated To Preserving Our Constitutional Republic
Crooked politicians must be held accountable for the crimes they have done. Trump is the only one who will do it. To elect a POTUS who will not prioritize fixing our criminal political system will not be good enough for me.We will not get another one like Trump ,who will bitch slap the evil out of Washington politics..No one can deny that Trump is crazy enough to do it. But he needs us to want it fixed. He can not stand alone..This is that time in history. The time that many have hoped. Turn your back on this opportunity,and we are done. THAT IS THE TRUTH OF IT.

Much as I'm a bit angry about the GOP members (cowards) I have to support the Wis. Congressman. He has a very serous family health issue and wants to be there for his wife while she goes through her treatments..
Virginia,
Your post raised an important issue, to wit, when given a choice between a RINO and a Democrat, for whom do we vote? The RINO, obviously.
I, too, am faced with this choice. Both my Senator and my Representative are closet never-Trumpers even though they are now (with the election looming) "staunch" Trump supporters. IF they prevail in the primaries, I will support them in the general election. There is no other choice.
That is why it is sooo important to participate in the primaries and support true conservatives.

This is my take on how the election is shaping up.
From an e-mail from Mangus Colorado;
There are 30,000 gun related deaths per year by firearms, and this number is not disputed.
U.S population 324,059,091 as of Wednesday, June 22, 2016.
Do the math: 0.000000925% of the population dies from gun related actions each year. Statistically speaking, this is insignificant!
What is never told, however, is a breakdown of those 30,000 deaths, to put them in perspective as compared to other causes of death:
• 65% of those deaths are by suicide which would never be prevented by gun laws
• 15% are by law enforcement in the line of duty and justified
• 17% are through criminal activity, gang and drug related or mentally ill persons – gun violence
• 3% are accidental discharge deaths
So technically, "gun violence" is not 30,000 annually, but drops to 5,100. Still too many? Well, first, how are those deaths spanned across the nation?
• 480 homicides (9.4%) were in Chicago
• 344 homicides (6.7%) were in Baltimore
• 333 homicides (6.5%) were in Detroit
• 119 homicides (2.3%) were in Washington D.C. (a 54% increase over prior years)
So basically, 25% of all gun crime happens in just 4 cities. All 4 of those cities have strict gun laws, so it is not the lack of law that is the root cause.
This basically leaves 3,825 for the entire rest of the nation, or about 75 deaths per state. That is an average because some States have much higher rates than others. For example, California had 1,169 and Alabama had 1.
Now, who has the strictest gun laws by far? California, of course, but understand, so it is not guns causing this. It is a crime rate spawned by the number of criminal persons residing in those cities and states. So if all cities and states are not created equally, then there must be something other than the tool causing the gun deaths.
Are 5,100 deaths per year horrific? How about in comparison to other deaths? All death is sad and especially so when it is in the commission of a crime but that is the nature of crime. Robbery, death, rape, assault all is done by criminals and thinking that criminals will obey laws is ludicrous. That's why they are criminals.
But what about other deaths each year?
• 40,000+ die from a drug overdose–THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THAT!
• 36,000 people die per year from the flu, far exceeding the criminal gun deaths
• 34,000 people die per year in traffic fatalities (exceeding gun deaths even if you include suicide)
Now it gets good:
• 200,000+ people die each year (and growing) from preventable medical errors. You are safer in Chicago than when you are in a hospital!
• 710,000 people die per year from heart disease. It’s time to stop the double cheeseburgers! So what is the point? If Obama and the anti-gun movement had focused their attention on heart disease, even a 10% decrease in cardiac deaths would save twice the number of lives annually of all gun-related deaths (including suicide, law enforcement, etc.). A 10% reduction in medical errors would be 66% of the total gun deaths or 4 times the number of criminal homicides......Simple, easily preventable 10% reductions!
So you have to ask yourself, in the grand scheme of things, why the focus on guns? It's pretty simple: Taking away guns gives control to governments.
The founders of this nation knew that regardless of the form of government, those in power may become corrupt and seek to rule as the British did by trying to disarm the populace of the colonies. It is not difficult to understand that a disarmed populace is a controlled populace.
Thus, the second amendment was proudly and boldly included in the U.S. Constitution. It must be preserved at all costs.
So the next time someone tries to tell you that gun control is about saving lives, look at these facts and remember these words from Noah Webster: "Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword, because the whole body of the people are armed and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force at the command of Congress can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power."
Remember, when it comes to "gun control," the important word is “control," not “gun."
This article from Mr. Colorado is loaded with common sense...Which the progressive liberals refuse to allow within their thinking.
Kevin,
Common Sense?! As in global warming/climate change where the power-hungry alarmists studiously ignore that big, shiny yellow thing in the sky that controls the climate, sometimes burning hotter and sometimes burning cooler?
Hundreds of years ago the Sun was a bit hotter than today, so much so that the Vikings actually colonized Greenland. There was grass and shrubbery (Hence, the name GREENLAND). The Vikings built villages and brought in sheep and other livestock and fished the surrounding waters. Artic ice was almost non-existent, except in the Winter. Then, the Sun cooled down a bit and the Vikings abandoned Greenland.
Millions of years ago, the Sun was in another "hot" phase and the Antarctic was a deciduous forest teeming with life. Then, the Sun cooled down and the place froze over.
What I want to know is what SUV driving, Republican SOB caused all that because I want to shoot him!

drilling the ice pack has shown the age of the ice...just sayin
With the race for the Democrat nomination shaping up to be a choice between Bolshevik Bernie and Slow Joe, I hope Democrat voters understand that a vote for Bernie or Joe is really a vote for their VEEP choice.
Bernie has heart problems, is 78 years old, and probably would not finish his term. Joe is clearly suffering from the onset of Dementia and is often confused about where he is and/or what he is saying.
That the DNC would support or back either speaks volumes about the state of the Democrat Party. That the media clearly knows this, yet says nothing, speaks volumes about their self-propagandized delusional mindset.
A President Bernie would probably not retaliate if America was attacked, leaving us vulnerable to defeat and ultimate annihilation. A President Biden could possibly order a retaliatory strike against an imaginary attack, starting a war of mutually assured destruction. Neither scenario is good.
Yet, Democrat voters either don't know or don't care, out of their visceral, knee-jerk hatred for Trump and mindless, ideological love of Socialism and what they, in their ill-informed state, imagine it would entail. Scary stuff!
It has been said (and I believe it) that this will be the most important election in history. Everything is riding on its outcome.
In his final years, my father became a closet Communist. He once said, "It's the job of the old to stand with their feet firmly planted on the necks of the young". In his final years I realized it was my job to stand with my feet firmly planted on his neck and on the necks of others like him. So, too, must we patriots be prepared to plant our feet on the necks of the Left -- or lose the country.
Oren
I'm going to go out on a limb and make a couple of predictions.
Biden will get the nomination, by hook or by crook, due to Democrat Leadership's fear of Bernie. As a result, the markets will rebound once the Bernie threat is neutralized. Let's face it, the markets are MUCH more terrified of a Bernie presidency than they are of the Coronavirus.
When Bernie is, once again, denied the nomination, his supporters will go ballistic. Some have said that if Bernie doesn't get the nomination, they will "burn the city down". Others have said that they would actually vote for Trump, though I doubt it. Most will probably just not vote, handing Trump an even bigger win. This will also bode well in down-ballot races when Democrats don't vote. Hell, the GOP could even re-take California, given that Bernie won the California Primary. Wouldn't that be a hoot? Oops!
Further, as I posted earlier, Biden is clearly not all there and is probably suffering from Dementia. Everyone KNOWS he is not well, but studiously overlooks it. In the campaign, the media will do their best to prop him up and ignore the obvious, just as they studiously ignored Hillary's obvious physical problems and did their best to prop her up. BUT, it will be hard to save Biden from himself in the Presidential Debates wherein Trump will eat him alive for all to see, including TV viewers who may not otherwise know just how mentally weak he is.
Dang, hate when that happens, don't you?

Bernie Sanders agenda is not so much to win the election. It is about growing the Communist ,multi-generational movement. That is by his own words. ........This is why he needs to be beat down hard by SLEEPY JOE....The Dems. know Joe can not beat Trump. So I believe that they may be mailing this election in ...but cleaning house of the commies in the mean time. The left wing is fractured and need to have it out to see who dominates the party....Get the popcorn ....
......Perhaps , the establishment has some real sleazy crap up their sleeve....At any rate this is an election for the history books...AND WE HAVE A FRONT ROW SEAT.
Middle America is telling Bernie and his commy movement to beat it...Sanders is taking a big beaten in middle America....YEA....We do not want no stinking socialism....I know I used double negative ...but it sounds good that way.....
