Black Lives Matter- to Conservatives

The Mexican cartels have settled in Chicago, selling drugs, probably running women, and doing all types of crime (also gang supporting crime) being the origin of a lot of the violence/shootings/killings of dozens of people...and kids...each month. Trumps efforts to seal that border is directly aimed at stopping this influence. So, in that regard, Trump conservatives are trying to help Chicago's people. Hell, Trump's conservatives are at least trying to do something for our African population. The only thing BLM has suggested in my experience was their suggestion that white "rich" people give their homes to the disenfranchised blacks, starting with her! What is that? I couldn't believe it. Media just dropped it.  Kinda dumb, really. jimself1954@gmail.com

    I am going to write one thus morning, print it out and mail it. If we want to get their attention we should use the US Mail. It's unfortunate but be glad that the option still works and is still available to us.

        We have been giving the Democrats a free ride with our questions. Why we should vote for them is a damn good question and we should all ask them. Of course, being primed for it, they will slither by but we all know that the main issue is jobs and security. People/kids are dieing in Chicago every day in huge numbers as a result of drug cartel activity coming directly from our open border.  If they can't maintain security by sealing that border and keeping the economy humming, the rest sorta falls way down on the issue scale. Tying their futures to various special interest groups and avoiding the concerns of main stream America like they have done has led them to this point. Biden has shown this elitism by strong arming Ukraine over the prosecutor firing. I am willing to wait for a judge to decide that one but we need to send it that way soon. If we wait they will pull another Hillary protection game. We all should be writing letters to the DOJ.

      Tom Steyer Must Say Something More Than That He Can Beat Trump

      Sept., 26, 2019
      From the desk of Jim Self,
      Tom Steyer must say something more than that he can beat Donald Trump in 2020.  This is not about personalities. It's about policy. So, Tom Steyer, if you don't have anything to say about what you plan to do, how much it will cost, who will benefit, and who is going to pay for it, then do us all a favor and shut up. And don't think that calling him a racist or misogynist or Steyer hater...in other words...names...will get it. Don't insult our intelligence. If you have some ideas, get them out there. Cut spending. Do something about our open border and drugs/murders in Chicago, last minute abortions, Dreamers and citizenship and helping social security so that it will be there for our children, and affordable health care and drugs...not Obamacare. Come on. Out with it! The Democrats have been swamping us with childish name calling and we are tired of it. Democrats are about to see their ship flounder and sink. Show us you have something different...or shut up.

      Red Flag Law

      Red Flag Law    9/17/2019 

      Mass shootings are insanity manifested. They are not political. Don’t make them political. I think we should have a federal red flag law so we can be sure it helps all states quickly and effectively. We can set it up so that:

      1. Law Enforcement must act quickly.

      2. The triggering action of the law should require more than one person’s complaint unless the facts are clear to everyone and the circumstances are critical. Perhaps it should be administered by the state.

      3. Make it so there is nothing here that can’t be undone if a mistake is made. We cannot have Sheriffs taking guns from people and then make them sue to get them back. 

      4. Attorney’s fees must be mitigated. We can’t take a person’s guns and then require him or her to hire an expensive lawyer to get them back. This law would have stopped the Parkland, Florida, shooting. It probably would have stopped the Sandy Hook shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. And it may have prevented the Emanuel AME Church shooting in Charleston. This law would be self-regulation. If doctors can do it, we can do it.
      We need to have a calm discussion about mass shootings and what really works to prevent them.

      Morning Coffee with Jim Self: ThiIs Going To Hit Us In A Very Hard Way

      Morning Coffee with Jim Self: ThiIs Going To Hit Us In A Very Hard Way: Have you voted to allow 100,000 illegal immigrants into the country every month? Have you volunteered to feed these 100,000 illegal immigr...

      This Is Going To Hit Us In A Very Hard Way

      Have you voted to allow 100,000 illegal immigrants into the country every month?
      Have you volunteered to feed these 100,000 illegal immigrants? 300,000 or 2 million?
      Do you think we have jobs for 10 million more illegal immigrants?
      Don't you think their presence here will push wages down for those who now clamor for an increase in minimum wage?
      Did you know that when an illegal mother has a baby on American soil that baby is an American citizen and the mother  is pretty much undeportable at that point? And her spouse. Did you vote for that?
      I did not vote to have an open border. I think we should bring it to a vote.
      If you are concerned about this, from what I see the best thing we can do is to write to our Representatives in Congress. Emails go there but don't carry the weight of a letter. We are most likely to have a recession soon. If we keep the door open down South could be on the cusp of disaster economically. It's like bailing water from our boat and not knowing how much remains in the bottom or how much is coming in. Eventually the boat will sink. We are going to have to raise taxes to support these people who we did not want to come here. We already spending over a trillion dollars for 2019. That's a thousand billion dollars we are borrowing to pay for spending in excess of revenue. We will have to provide housing, food, cash for consumables, communications, transportation, medical care, education with college. We all better think about this because it is going to hit us and our offspring in a very hard way. Seal the border!

      We Are On The Cusp of Disaster

         Back in 1863, as the Civil War progressed, the South needed more and more soldiers. Conscription was the way they obtained them. Can you imagine waking up in your home, not much more than a shack, with your family, terrified as 20 or 30 cavalry types on  horseback rode onto your dirt front  yard, raising a cloud of dust with the thundering hoof beats...the Regulators have arrived. You meet them at your front door, unarmed, because you knew they were armed and would be threatening you with rifles at the ready. "It's our way or the noose for you!". You're coming with us. Gather your clothes and your gun. Bring your horse if you have one. You are going to war whether you like it or not!
          There were two kinds of people then...one with 20 or more slaves, one with less than 20. Those with less than 20 slaves were subject to being drafted into the Southern army. If given a chance to vote on whether to succeed from the union, how do you think I would have voted? Knowing that the weight of the fight would be paid with the lives of men like me...not the plantation owners who benefitted from slavery. I would have been a fool to vote to fight. It would have meant been suicide. My family would be left to make it without me and may very well starve to death. It was an ugly thing. It was the Liberals who were the elite in Government and Business  AND the MEDIA who drove their Progressive agenda of harnessing slavery in the new Western states as well as securing slavery in the South for decades to come,  and took our Southern boys and men to fight and die in THEIR ungodly war. Elite liberals, with all of the money and power to pass laws that effected everyone, leaving the hard working, common people at the mercy of the Regulators , backed up by the liberal Media...the same as is going on today.
         I see what Nancy Pelosi is doing, keeping Trump from sealing the Southern border, refusing the wall, refusing to allow us to stop people who enter and  immediately sending them back. It's Pelosi and the Democrats allowing more than 100,000 a month to swarm in each month and this number is growing. The working people, the tax payers who already are going a half trillion dollars in debt each year by our overspending, liberal government each are being told...not asked, but told that we will have to support these working aged, baby making aged, illiterate and unskilled masses of foreign people. We will have to do it. Once they are here the Media will spell out what must be done. We will be forced to pass laws for programs to feed them, clothe them, house them, transport them, supply them with cell phones and cell service, provide them with medical care, secondary and college level education. The Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child tax Credit will bleed our tax revenues as we work and pay more and more of our incomes until our taxes  increase 2,3 or 4 fold.
         We already have 25 million of them. We will easily have another 25 million in a few years and it could go to as high as 40 or 50 million. Central America has 41 million. Mexico could contribute another 10 million. That doesn't include SOUTH America. Our fence is up in some places but it is DOWN in MOST places. And the Democrats want to allow the masses to come in! It doesn't make sense until you assume the liberals are engaging in a common Utopian dream from their ignorance and desire to control our country even as it falls apart. We are on the cusp of disaster. The only way to bring this under control is to seal the border. The rest must happen, too, but without a sealed border we cannot control what happens within our borders and economy. We can lose this battle. Write letters to bring pressure on the Democrats in the house of Representatives to seal the border. Write them over and over again. By saying nothing we enable those people to follow Nanci Pelosi blindly. It is up to us. We are, once again, facing a disaster. It's 1863 all over again.

      How Do Socialists Insure Compliance After Taking Over?

         Mass murder of those who object. Socialists must take control/possession of the means of production.  social rian government takes over.
         There is a long human history of this experiment being attempted and failing. It's too bad that so many millennials and virtually zero young people have any idea about how bad it can get. The pictures of the Nazis machine gunning lines of tens of thousands of innocent men, women and children  so they will fall into their huge, mass grave means nothing to them. The acres and acres of human bones  high in the sunlight in the killing fields of Cambodia means nothing to them. We must find a way to show them, to explain to them, what anarchy in government actually means to their lives of liberty and freedom.
         I feel for the situation of Central Americans. I wish we could open the border and being the in so they can thrive as we do. But the sad fact is that there are too many of them. The shear numbers of work aged, children producing aged, unskilled, non-English speaking would overwhelm our ability to take care of our own people. All of the various programs of our social net thatkeeps people from dying by the thousands every day on the street will be overwhelmed and fail. At some point the Government will have to step in to stop them from dying and that will involve changes in everything that makes this country strong. You cannot expect to move 25 million people from one country to another and expect conditions in the receiving country not to degenerate. The balance between the number of jobs and the unemployed will be broken. The US Government will end up feeding and housing them. We will have to provide housing,  power, air conditioning and heat, food, water, clothes and consumables, diapers, medicine and health care to them. And the truth is that no country can do that without rationing all of these thing to every body in the country...not just to the illegal immigrants.
         Americans have expectations. Once these expectations are broken, blame and action will begin to take effect. That's when the government will step in, confiscate our guns, redistribute our wealth in a way that will more closely support all of our new population, and then be expected to accept more and more illegal immigrants as they flow in.The new people will have a vote for a while, until they lose their vote to an authoritarian leadership who promises to feed their starving children. Then NO ONE will have a vote. The constitution will be suspended..never to return.
         This is what it means when we see hundreds of illegal immigrants wash across our open southern border. If allowed to continue...no...we cannot allow this to continue. We have too much to lose.
         So please, leave the guns at home. Pick up your pens and write to your congressmen and women, demand that we seal the Southern border and establish a working immigration system. We absolutely must help our Southern neighbors build economies strong enough to support their populations. We must  help them fix their problems at home. We must find a way to suspend or control the abuse of  the birthright law and asylum laws. We cannot afford to wait any longer. Please write to your congressmen and women today.

      This Disaster for US Is a Democrat Pipedream

      As new illegal immigration numbers climb through the millions the states will begin asking for increased federal money, increased taxes from us,  to fund welfare entitlements for food, housing, education, power, transportation,  medical care and normal consumables.  Most will be working age,  baby making age, non-English speaking and very limited in skills. As these state welfare budget items multiply in cost the unemployment entitlements, even for those who have never worked here but will be gifted to them by Democrats,  will do the same.  Earned Income Tax Credits and Child Tax Credits ($2000 per child whether they work or not) will increase, again gifted to them by the Democrats, skyward as demand for our slower growing jobs numbers increases, keeping wages down,  and inflation sky rockets for everyday things as these new "Democrat endowed" citizens consume in their new country...again... where most of them can't even speak the language. Democrats will give them the vote state by state. Is there any doubt that all of this will happen? Pelosi's Democrats are wrecking our country, 100,000 illegals at a time, per month.  People, we are going to have 2,3,or 4 times the Federal taxes we are paying now in short order. Watch and learn. This is Allinsky's design to overwhelm the Government on the cost side until it fails and then something better will rise from the ashes. The something better will be Communism. Look it up. Most of you have no idea what it is. If we see it coming and do not get involved to stop it...then we deserve what we get.

      The World Is At Risk By Mindless Democrats

         Slavery Reparations: an obvious ploy to attract votes of those who welcome income from any source, no matter if they believe them or not. This is a dividing strategy. Divisiveness in America. Responsible Parties: Shiela Jackson, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders.
         Open Borders  push to keep the border from being sealed, Nancy Pelosi, they are enabling 100's of thousands of illegal entrants presently. The old story about illegal entrants turning into liberal voters is becoming more and more likely to be real.
         According to Madison Summers, Former U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Julián Castro and former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) are among those who don’t think illegal immigration is a problem.This is from Julian Castro:  “I would make sure that we maintain border security, and I believe that our border is as secure as it ever has been. I would ensure that we maintain it,” he responded. “But secondly, I would treat people with compassion and common sense, and not with cruelty.” This man clearly does not have he best interests of the USA in mind. 144,000 illegals flowed in in May, 2019. There never was a way to contain all of them. The numbers are too high. That means our system of control is overwhelmed. "Too high" means overwhelmed. 
         No one asks a Democrat, "How many illegals is too many?" That is because the Democrats don't have a "too high" number. They'd be satisfied if 20 million more came in and we would give them the vote. They would be in charge of our ship as it sinks in entitlements and welfare claims. 
         Liberals' claims that our tax decrease is very short compared to that of the wealthy falls on ears of those who would use confiscatory taxation to equalize incomes across the board. They don't talk about how this would effect the Stock Market where the profits of investors will be confiscated. The stock market is the goose that lays or golden eggs...meaning jobs and growth, every day. Consider what this country would be without it. Look at Venezuela, a current example of Socialism falling in a rush, unreaplaced by anything else but the suffering. That's where the Democrats want to take us. They are already talking about confiscating our means of production. But...they don't have tp take the actual means, all they have to do is confiscate the profits. Then they can direct what they want to be manufactured by selective taxation or simple government direction.
         The only way we can control this is by voting.
          Last note: In 1930 the population of America was 123 million. Now it is 318 million with around 25 million illegal immigrants additionally. If the Democrats win in 2020 they say they will be for massive entitlements including "Medicare for all". They will  have to get the money from the stock market, which will run off investors and cause it to crash. Pensions will disappear.  Car manufacturers will close across the world. Trucks will stop delivering groceries because there won't be any money to finance big farm operations. That's what freezing credit does to this economy. Stores will close as layoffs from small and large businesses accumulate. People will have no money. Banks will fail. Soup kitchens will be overwhelmed. That's 245 million hungry people. Russia will move on Eastern Europe, North Korea and China will move once again to lock up natural and human (slave labor)  resources. We'll be fortunate to avoid a nuclear confrontation with them. And we Americans will be eating each other. This is the result of the corruption and fall of responsible, modern journalism. It's what happens when journalists are displaced by editorialists who are bought and paid for by big money.
          Clouds may save the planet from  dreaded global warming. Climate scientists admit that the role of clouds in this science is uncertain. They reflect heat back into space. That's true. But they also must reflect heat back down to Earth. Oh my! Which is most?  Gore has an opinion, I'm certain I know what it is. His opinion is that which will lead to his financial growth, as it is with the UN third world countries and Europe, which has a third world outlook and is becoming more third world every day.       What I see is that climate change has always been present. We have recorded this in various ways which produce undeniable evidence that Earth's climate doesn't stay the same. It changes. It gets warmer and it gets cooler...most of the changes in Earth's history have been without the help of human kind. We were not present. Now that humans are present and driving CO2 belching automobiles we are the cause and , of course, this will eventually result in the demise of humanity. And don't forget cow farts...

      Quote From Winston Churchill

       
      “How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the faith: all know how to die but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.”
      Winston Churchill, The River War 

      In current time we have a   poor understanding of Islam. It is to those who truly possess the truth that we should turn for guidance but, alas, there is only the sad internet echoing our certain and self destructive ignorance.

      We Need the MSM, But It No Longer Needs Us






      We who are safe and comfortable in our low crime communities are blessed...and blind. Even folks in Chicago, the murder capital of the world, feel safe as long as the violence is "down the road a piece". As long as we don't live in the hood what's the worry? Well, the hoods are going to be getting bigger, and more violent. It will be a gradual thing. Democrats will understate the significance of the high numbers of illegal immigrants flowing into certain parts of our communities. Democrats will not speak for our children who fall prey to Latin gangs, drugs, human trafficking. Democrats want their votes...and they really do expect to have their votes. The Main Stream Media is going to downplay this. The Main Stream Media would downplay a huge tidal wave if there wasn't any money in it. We have come to rely on the MSM for information to help us protect ourselves and govern our country. Without that information, which is where we are now, we lose the ability to govern and to avoid mistakes and problems. Our 22 trillion dollar debt and 25+ million illegal immigrants and the mere consideration of providing taxpayer funded universal college education and health care and child care for everyone are examples of issues that are historical landmines for our society and economy. The MSM is on the wrong side of history here. We expect leadership. We get the pied piper leading us blindly over the precipice. As long as it is in slow motion the MSM will be otherwise employed.

        It's My Opinion...fresh from Summerville, SC

        1/5/2018
        In answer to a comment to an opponent of San Diego's efforts to house illegal migrant influx:
        San Diego Union-Tribune
        Oh, come on. If San Diego is willing to keep them, what's the problem? If Democrats have their way, this immigration influx will continue forever...or at least until they...and I mean Californians...really feel the pain. Their politicians have sold out to businesses who need lots of cheap, unskilled labor. Until regular Californians "get it" as far as tax payer support goes... the expense/cost of supporting them...it will continue. So...Cheers!

        I will say this, though. I will not support any Federal money to go to supporting California's efforts to support them and I think most of America feels that way. The $5 billion for the wall amounts to $15.62 for each of 320 million people in this country. Ten times that is pocket change for us compared to what we spend on drug law enforcement, Medicaid, public schooling, rent and welfare cash and SNAP for them. Pelosi's pants are down. She works at the pleasure of businesses who must have cheap, unskilled labor.
         What do you think about that? Please comment.
        1/3/2018
        I guess one way to look at it is that when activists are the minority it's all about the minorities. But when activists are the majority there are no minorities. The same for Muslims. Especially Muslims. The same for liberals, Democrats, etc....


        I don't see Democrats stoning women to death in the streets of Washington, DC. ...but if we did do that it would be the Democrats doing it. They ARE the violent side of the extremists. An excellent example is Maxine Waters. She openly condones violence.


        Remember $15.62. That's what 5 billion dollars divided by 320 million comes to...Price of the wall /USA population. We are shut down for $15.62 apiece.
        $15.62 What do you think about this? Please comment.

        Activists don't know how to be successful. They just know how to be the underdog...the minority. They are fired once they become successful. No one wants an employee that can only bitch.


        Immigration was once the lifeblood of this nation. That was before our population grew bringing along with it the number of citizens who required welfare/entitlement support. Health care is a burden that we didn't address then. Now things are different and it has become an entirely new entitlement. We have to have it. Now the combined burdens are becoming unsustainable, yet the Democrats ignore this and want to keep the border open and the people coming across for political reasons...Democrat votes and cheap labor.  They want to keep the unmanaging immigration system in place which is not working.  This is a weakness of our country... to be willing to sacrifice our national economy for the sake of immigrant votes and cheap, undocumented immigrant labor... and it could lead to our failure. Nancy Pelosi is the powerful voice of this poisonous liberalism, coming from California which is heavily dependent on this cheap labor. They are that way because of the politicians indebted to cheap labor /big business. California media and politics sell immigrants rights and needs as a statewide agenda for them. But her agenda is NOT the agenda of hard working Americans in "Flyover Country" who know what debt spending does to their own budgets and the budgets of the country. The internet powers and main stream media are pushing her agenda as if it were. That is the situation. Don't listen to her. Her state is going down the toilet financially because of this. Our nation can not afford to follow California down the toilet. We can still lose everything we have built.

        Please comment. I am interested in hearing your ideas.
