A Disgruntled Republican

Is there really a difference between being a stand up flag waving, constitutional believing patriotic Republican and being fed up with Republican Party politicians who say one thing to get your vote and fail to perform when the chips are down and their congressional vote is on the line? I say no!

There are 435 seats in the US House of Representatives and 100 seats in the US Senate. I’m taking a wild guess here (no polls to verify my opinion) but what do I feel is the most widely used vote when a bill is on the floor of congress?

Is it Yea, Nay or Present? Overwhelmingly is has to be Present!

I’m sure there are roll call votes where each and every member of the House or the Senate must stand up and cast their vote – for something, right?

So why are we not seeing responsible legislation passed? Why do we still have all the pork projects which benefit that legislator and only a small portion of Americans? And why do we not see Republicans standing up against irresponsible legislative agendas?

Is it because of committees or caucuses? A few years ago I found there were more than 200 caucuses, where each member of each caucus was bound to vote the way of each caucus? Many caucuses are being chaired by Democrats and co-chaired by Republicans as a way of making it seem bi-partisan and fair. I’m not convinced that it is.

I recently listened to a Republican legislator say that on certain occasions he simply votes Present as a means of what – a protest vote? How does that make any sense at all?

I challenge anyone to look at any former or currently seated legislator of any party and follow their voting record and tell me what legislation of major significance have they sponsored and/or voted for that bears their name? What legislative accomplishment are they most proud of?

Let me give you an example, as a Senator from Democrat NY Hillary Clinton worked on getting legislation passed (not quite fast enough though) that would provide healthcare to those who couldn’t afford it. Had she been successful it would have been dubbed “Hillarycare”, yet her applecart was broadsided and when the dust settled and without anyone in Congress being able to actually read it, we got “Obamacare” or The Affordable Healthcare Act.

Do I think Obama spent hours and hours working out the nuances of this multi-thousand page bill? Not on your life, yet it became known as his. I seem to recall that the voting record of Obama showed that he voted Present much of the time (I may be wrong, so go check it out for yourself).  

Why is it that immigration has been touted as a major problem since the end of World War II, yet no sitting congress has been able to fix it? I mean considerable funding has been allocated to building a border fence along the southern border, but the best they could do was a barbwire wooden pole fence that could hardly keep cattle in their pastures. When Trump urged Congressional leaders to reform the immigration laws, including make the dreamers legal (not by Obama’s presidential decree) he promised to sign it into law. Yet when Trump began building his wall, I mean a real honest to goodness wall as a barrier against unlawful entry, human trafficking and dangerous and harmful drugs Congress put up such a fight that you’d think they were in the pocket of the Mexican drug cartels. When Trump threatened to institute higher tariffs on Mexican goods, Mexican troops sealed off the Mexican side of the border real fast.

So what happened?

Democratic legislators band together and stand their ground, even when it’s not in the best interests of American citizens.

Republican legislators talk the talk, but haven’t figured out how to walk the walk and ultimately cowtow to pressure from the left, lest they offend someone with deep pockets.

JFK said “ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country” and today’s legislators tell us what our government is going to do to us should we balk at their power grab. The roadblock stopping them is DJT and something called the Bill of Rights, yet they are actively trying to shred that document so that an out of control government can sweep all the rights enshrined in the Constitution under the rug.

I’m tired of electing “sissies” (and I mean that not in a nice way either) to the House and the Senate. Not everyone qualified for public service should be in public service, especially when they use that service as a means of self-enrichment and political gain or a stepping stone into the White House because they look good.

America deserves better! We need men and women who have the intestinal fortitude to stand for what is right and use the brain that God has given them to look to the health, safety and welfare of American citizens,

There are no rights for non-citizens no matter how they got into this country. Aliens have the right to apply for residency, work permits or educational and tourist visas and then following procedures established by law the right to work toward citizenship, but must meet a series of requirements before becoming citizens of the United States. And our legislators must insure that the laws of this nation are adhered to by everyone. – RTM

The Death of Another American Institution

Why am I ever surprised when political correctness shreds another fabric of our society and stifles the creativity of our people for the sake of inclusion?

I happened on a news channel that began talking about the 115 year old Boy Scouts of America what is going to change the name of their organization so that everyone feels welcome.

Give me a break!

Why was the boy scouts created? Was it to make boys want to join and learn outdoor and other skills or to make girls want to join? As the organization grew it expanded worldwide and scouts can be seen in faraway places learning the same skills.

There are even girl scouts, brownie scouts, cub scouts and a host of other organizations that teach boys to be boys and girls to be girls.

Those skills are not meant to be demeaning but meant to equip our youth for adulthood. Some skills need to be learned by boys, others by girls and still other skills by both and some skills come with age and lots of practice.

Remember when there were gun safety classes in high school? Kids would bring in their own guns and learn safe handling skills and safe shooting practices. It was not until God and guns were banned from schools across our land that safety went out the window as well.

So what is to be gained by changing the name from Boy Scouts of America? Is the curriculum changing as well? Instead of instilling safety in everyday tasks are they going to eliminate those tasks and call it good?

When organizations such as the Boy Scouts are created, it’s with a purpose and there are rules. Not everyone is suited for every organization and bending the rules, changing the names or lowering the bar to suit them is acceptable or advisable.

The only constant in life is change, but change for the sake of watering down or brainwashing with distasteful or unsound doctrine is outright dangerous. It would be better to shut down the entire organization and let boys be boys and girls be girls again! – RTM

Line in the Sand

I saw a headline that President Biden has drawn a line in the sand with Israel.

What happened to “DON’T”?

Biden wants the fighting to stop, but he holds the door open every time he advocates for submitting to the demands of Hamas and tries forcing Israel to cease and desist from bringing the war to an end.

Come to think of it, didn’t Obama draw a line in the sand…..back in the day? Oh yeah and Biden was his VP.

Remember when G.W. Bush drew a line in the sand, “If you’re not with us you’re against us”, after 9/11?

Trump had a different line in the sand moment when he urged democratic voters to join the MAGA movement, after all “What have you got to lose?”

Democrats want absolute and total compliance – or else.

Republicans want conformity of the constitutional values enshrined in the Constitution, but they simply don’t know how to make it real. Not only did Trump know how to look at a future and prosperous America, he knows how to make it happen.

Now I’m not Donald J. Trump and I don’t know how his brain or thinking process works, but if I were the next President of the United States these are some of the things I feel need to happen.

1. Shut the borders for 30 days. Nobody in or out. Period
   1. Exact double the tariffs of foreign goods for every country that contributes, funds or empowers these massive migration of undocumented and illegal migrants coming across our borders.
   1. Declare Martial Law and position American fighting men and women to reestablish our national security and stop the flow of illegal drugs, contraband, human trafficking and unlawful migration into the United States.
   1. Instruct the DOJ to enforce current immigration laws and hold lawbreakers and their allies accountable and begin mass prosecutions.
   1. Begin deportation and banning of aliens engaged in crimes inside the United States.
   1. Terminate all public assistance to illegal/unlawful migrants.
   1. Return all minor migrant children to their parents or native state.
   1. Stripping licenses and accreditations of “professional” and self-appointed private “Consultants” engaged in unlawful migration practices.
   1. Instruct congressional legislators to work together (bi-partisanly) conduct a comprehensive immigration reform and present a bi-partisan bill ready for signing into law within 60 days (If immigration laws are broken, fix them).
2. Void Bidenonomics – entirely.
   1. Reverse every mandate and presidential action that does not enhance or improve the welfare and safety of every American citizen Irregardless of political party.
3. Immediately increase the National Defense posture of the United States at home AND abroad.
4. Declare the Progressive Democratic Party an immediate threat to National Security.
5. Withhold federal funding for any public school or education of higher learning that inhibits the learning of students for politically correct indoctrination purposes.
6. Reestablish a national policy of not negotiating with terrorists.
7. Effect the removal of politically motivated lawyers or judges for misconduct in the performance of their official duties.
8. Call for a special investigation of legislative misconduct for living current and former legislators and to be impeached and removed from any public office and banned from holding future public offices.

I agree with the premise that people are not illegal, but their illegal actions of breaking the laws of the United States make them ineligible for continued residency or future United States citizenship.

I also believe that even though a person is qualified for public office, not everyone in public office is qualified to remain there indefinitely.

Public service is just that – a Service to the Public.

Patriotism is placing country above self and with service to others.

Never give away your position, your tactics or your ability to defend yourself. – RTM

Standing on the Right Side of Wrong

I never in my wildest dreams thought that I’d be writing about wrong, never mind about people who are dead wrong about being right. There are sermons to Christians about “Being the Truth” and “Being Honest” when the world around you is turned on its head. But here we are in the most controversial election year of our time. What are we to do?

At the very least we should study and reflect on what God has to say. The bible tells us that there is nothing new under the sun. One sermon I listened to recently said that the first “recorded” battle and the last battle are both fought on the same battlefield – Armageddon. As pastor David Jeremiah spoke that of all the millions of acres covering the face of the earth it’s ironic that in the history of war it ends where it began.

Now think about where we are today. President Biden spoke recently at the Holocaust Museum that his support of Israel is unshakeable and ironclad and there is no safe place for hate in America, yet a mere 48 hours later he announced his withholding of military weaponry approved by congress in a bill HE approved and signed into law. As anti-Israeli members of congress applauded and cheered it appears that Biden simply bowed a knee to the pressure of his political party’s elites.

He condemned the anti-Israel protestors rioting on the college campuses across our nation, yet made no move to use the DOJ or the FBI to shut those protests down. Oh token arrests of student pawns are being made, but it appears that none of the protest leaders or their funding sources have been affected.

Then I remember after January 6^th, 2021 the full force of the FBI and the DOJ were brought to bear down on Trump supporters, even though they were not involved in the destruction inside the Capital Building, but simply because they were seen or said they attended Trump’s DC rally.

Sadly a great many Christian’s believed the lies spewed by the misinformation and fake news broadcast daily and non-stop from left leaning outlets and social media condemning patriotic Americans, many of them Christians and cheering their arrest and imprisonment, many without charges or access to medical or legal representation.

As I see pictures of the protest encampments I’m reminded that the illegal alien invasion camps, are equipped with what appears to be the exact same style encampments and more than 10 million illegal invaders later, the flow appears to be never ending.

I’ve always been told and I believe that when you see a wrong being committed and say nothing you ARE part and parcel of the problem – you own it too.

The US Constitution lists certain rights of US citizenship and gives NO RIGHTS to non-citizens.

The bible tells us that we are all created equal by our Creator, and God shows no favoritism.

Jesus told us that we are to Love God and Each Other as HE LOVES US.

Jesus said that in this world there will be trouble, but do not fear for he has overcome the world. – RTM

Do Not Be Deceived

While at the gym one evening a television screen showed the talking heads at CNN wanting everyone to believe that Trump supporters are looking back on his presidency through Amnesia or Dementia filters while they do not look at Biden’s presidency through the same filters.

I have to say it’s pretty obvious for a normal person to determine which is which.

To be clear I began blogging through Obama’s final days in office and remember when he met with President-Elect Donald Trump in the Oval Office and wished him and his administration well while (in my opinion) Obama covertly orchestrated the resistance movement against Trump that began immediately after Trump’s inauguration on January 20^th 2017.

As events began to unfold I watched and began blogging as I watched as congressional democrats lead the charge by boycotting the inauguration and openly challenged the authority of the newly elected president by make public statements on and off camera, and leaking misinformation like the “ Russian Hoax Dossier” to the left leaning press which the progressive democrats controlled.

Remember the Russia Hoax where Putin supposedly had Trump in his pocket?

The dossier was concocted and funded by the Clinton Foundation was touted as “fact”, while after a lengthy and very public special investigation and exploiting “events” it was found to be not true, and total misinformation.

Did anybody involved go to prison or were held accountable over it?

Remember the “Pink hatted ladies” (I use the term ladies very loosely) comprised of Hollywood elites, political upper class and those supposedly in the know we watched TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) went into full blown hysteria mode.

When Trump was told that American students were being held in China for theft what did he do about it? Did he abandon them? Trump called China’s president and arranged transport back to the US for 3 student athletes who had demonstrated the finest qualities of Los Angeles’ gang mentality after being caught red-handed stealing sunglasses – SUNGLASSES?

The father of one of the thieves who had accompanied the team to China called it no big deal.

After their return to the US one of the thieves thanked President Trump, but later said he was pressured to do that or face expulsion by the school. 

What ever happened to those guys?

Remember when President Trump invited congressional democrat leaders into the Oval Office shortly after taking office? It was then that former house speaker Nancy Pelosi told President Trump how much importance “she” brought to the meeting. Senator Chuck Schumer was there and he did not say a word otherwise.

At that time it was the most in your face disrespectful act from a member of congress to the POTUS I had ever witnessed.

Do you think those two treated their former congressional colleagues Barack Obama, Joe Biden or Hillary Clinton that way?

I could go on about this congressional democrat’s war on Trump, but then you already know that, right?

When the China Virus was launched on the US and on a global scale, Trump found that the US stockpile of emergency supplies was almost non-existent and compelled industry and military to fast track ventilators, masks and protective equipment.

When Trump even banned foreign tourists from China and several European nations entry into the US congress went crazy calling Trump a racist.

Where was congress’s uproar when Biden opened the northern and southern borders in 2021? Have they called him to account for it?

The democratically controlled congress is complacent in this open attack on our nation that has allowed more than 10M illegal immigrants into our country.

Do you think if Trump did that congress would enthusiastically go along?

When Trump assumed office he faced a hostile congress (as many of its members are today).

Congressional democrats hate him and many congressional republicans don’t rally around him either. Many are afraid to sign their name to anything that supported Trumps agenda of Making America Great Again and are afraid of going against Biden’s destructive agenda for America.

I challenge anyone to name one MAGA rally (including on January 6^th, 2021) where Trump supporters turned into a wild maniacal horde of looters, rioters, destroyers of property, harming others with reckless abandonment. IT NEVER HAPPENED!

There were demonstrators and detractors of Trump showing up at MAGA rallies just to provoke a response and every one ended up being booted or carried out by security.

Let us talk about the circus atmosphere of TWO IMPEACHMENTS during Trump’s tenure. Those orchestrated hearings were seemingly endless and each one ended as it began without merit, just as these orchestrated Trump Trials that are going on today.

Remember when Biden strong armed with threat of withholding military aid from Ukraine so that the prosecutor was fired (he was investigating a corporation where Hunter Biden was on the board of directors)?

Remember the Hunter Biden laptop? Nothing there either right?

When Trump created the US Space Force as a new entity in the DOD he was ceaselessly ridiculed over it, but today the Space Force is on the forefront of defending against cyberattacks through outer space.

When Trump got a number of Middle Eastern nations to sign the Abraham Accord with Israel, they said it couldn’t be done and when Trump moved the US Embassy to Jerusalem the world took notice.

Trump was never given a Nobel Peace Prize for bringing peace to the Middle East and the World, right?

Today there are multiple terrorist factions and states ATTACKING ISRAEL and the world is slow to respond, even the US response was slow in coming.

Demonstrations are irrupting throughout US colleges and university campuses and action to shut them down is slower than fixing a leaky toilet.

There are many more examples which I can cite looking back at the Trump administration through a filter of TRUTH. The media is more focused on every word coming out of the mouth of Donald Trump, his body language and facial expressions and how he responds to those attacking his name, profession, credibility and his honor.

The media talking heads and so called “experts on Trump” slander him Irregardless of the truth.

When you want to see dementia or delusion one need look no further than President Joe Biden, his handlers and speech writers and those making foreign policy decisions and economic policy decision in his stead.

It would appear that their overall intention is to bankrupt the United States to the point that it will fail completely or raise from the ashes as a Constitutional-Democracy where one man sits at the top, dictating the will of America and of Americans – OR ELSE! – RTM

Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have … The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases.

Random Spontaneous and Mostly Peaceful

While watching news footage during the beginning of these universities and college campuses beginning in New York and spreading throughout other campuses across the nation I have to wonder about their “spontaneousness”. I mean there are brightly colored tents set up everywhere. That means these are pre-planned and not spontaneous at all. When I listen to their chanting, there is one person using their cell phone to lead the chant. I also notice that other members of the “protest” group also have their cell phones out, so that leads me to believe it’s being controlled from somewhere else.

What I mean is when classmates want to protest or give voice to a particular grievance of campus policy, they decide to assemble and tell their side of the issue as they see it, right? In doing so they should at least have recommendations for remedying the situation shouldn’t they?

When these protests begin to appear on other campuses in other states, the scene is repeated ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME. There are tents everywhere on campus, people are chanting or yelling and in many cases students are being verbally and physically assaulted and chased across the campus because of their race/religion and that my friends is AGAINST THE LAW.        

How hard is it to follow the lead of the DC Mayor who shut off cell towers during January 6^th to prevent MAGA folks from using their cell phones?

What about holding these protesters accountable for their actions? If they are students of the school, terminate their studenthood, if they are migrants, deport them and if they are violent and refuse to follow the commands from law enforcement, arrest them.

But there has to be more. The New York DA’s must go after these rioters with the same energy that Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg has gone after President Trump – and show no mercy or signs of letting up and especially if someone has been fearful for their life, hurt or killed – prosecute the responsible parties to the fullest extent of the law, including their associates, allies and pay particular attention to where the money is coming from and then cut off the funds and the funding sources.

spontaneous /spŏn-tā′nē-əs/

adjective

Happening or arising without apparent external cause; self-generated.

“a microorganism capable of spontaneous movement.”

Arising from a natural inclination or impulse and not from forethought or prompting.

“spontaneous laughter; a spontaneous protest.”

Unconstrained and unstudied in manner or behavior.

“a spontaneous personality.”

To be clear these protests are carefully thought out, communicated to others and the protesters are being transported, fed and housed by parties yet to be disclosed and are not protected free speech under the constitution. These mostly peaceful protests incite people to act like animals, rioting, threatening, and/or assaulting others leading to lawlessness. Allowing this behavior to continue is criminal and everyone knows criminals need to be held accountable. Officials who cannot restore order should not remain in their elected, appointed or paid positions – at any level. – RTM

What Constitutes a Disgraced President?

Is it taking/failing to take action at the expense of American lives?

Is it taking bribes/payoffs/kickbacks from foreign entities/governments for personal gain?

Is it obtaining the release of American criminals from foreign soil?

Or maybe it’s getting the release of American hostages in exchange for American Dollars “CASH” and/or the release of foreign terrorists?

Could it be negotiating peace among nations seemingly destined for war?

Quite possibly it is the endangerment of America’s national security/sovereignty and America citizens by opening the border and ignoring current immigration laws?

I know it’s setting up the circumstances for an attack on an American Consulate/Embassy which cost the lives of the Ambassador and members of his security detail while ignoring/failing to adequately respond to repeated calls for assistance during a ground attack.

Could it be launching America into a World War?

Quite possibly it could be involving American lives in civil unrest/war on foreign soil.

Or is it using the office of the Attorney General, the DOJ and other government agencies and nationwide news media to take down ones political opponent during a presidential election?

We are being told that President Donald Trump is a disgraced former president because he has been accused of multiple felony charges by the same people who actively sought to resist his presidency and his administration. These are the ones who paraded themselves openly during two failed impeachment trials of a sitting president and a number of failed allegations of wrongdoings for which they themselves were doing at the time.

These same members of congress attempted to remove the privileges of former president Donald Trump before he actually became a former president, and are attempting to pass legislation that would prevent a former president from holding elected office whether he committed a felony or not, but has been convicted of a felony. They are doubling down by using racketeering tactics of conspiring to take down President Donald Trump through multiple court actions in multiple states.

In my book a disgraced president fails at his job when he fails the American people by failing to protect the Constitution and causes the loss of even one American life. A disgraced president goes after his political opponent. A disgraced president attacks American citizens based on their political choices. A disgraced president has no mercy until his bully tactics succeed in overpowering all opposition.

In my book President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. is a sitting example of a disgraced president. – RTM

A Bull in a China Shop

If you grew up or were raised on or near a farm, ranch or just out in the country and you saw a bull standing alone in a field you would probably say to yourself or someone else, “Look there’s a bull” and it’s no big deal. However if you take that bull into the city and he’s put into an arena people will come to the arena just to see how big is the bull. But if that bull gets loose and goes into an upscale store there will be people running around screaming “THERE’S A BULL IN HERE”. Sooner or later a different crowd will begin to gather to gawk at the bull and wonder how did it get in there or who’s going to get it out? When the owner of the bull shows up with a rope he will lead the bull outside and back into his trailer and take the bull back to the ranch as he might be muttering “City slickers don’t know nothing about bulls”.  

Take the New York DA’s who are trying to keep Donald Trump tied up in court and off the campaign trail with all these “felony charges” which are nothing more than accusations to prevent him from being elected again. Do they not think (no they don’t think) that making sure Trump is kept in New York he is not able to do a “TRUMP STUMP” micro-mini rally event, a one on one with the people of New York?

In this respect Trump is liken to the bull in the arena or off into a part of New York where politicians don’t venture because it’s just not worth it. Well guess what – to Trump everyone is worth it, even those throwing proverbial stones at him. I remember Trump saying at his rallies “they’re not after me, they’re after you, but I’m just in the way.”

New York is politically volatile right now with politicians running the show, locking up citizens for defending themselves while letting criminal elements run free. Oh yeah they might get arrested, but are back out on the streets before the ink on the charging documents dry – unless they’re name is Trump.

Right now there are demonstrators shutting down New York universities and college campuses demanding Israel stop the genocide in Palestine. Well guess what, there is no longer any country called Palestine and the genocide is perpetuated by the terrorists beginning on October 6^th and it is Israel who is protecting the refugees in Gaza. In order for Israel to stop the genocide they would have to begin an all-out offensive attack on the terrorists and their sympathizers and terrorist co-harts and wipe them all out. But they do not and who’s the bad guys here?

New Yorkers have an overabundance of illegal alien migrants, homelessness and lawlessness because of their politician’s claims of “sanctuary city” status. Law enforcement is handcuffed to corrupt politicians and unable to break free, while the VOTERS continue to elect intellectually challenged radical leftists into offices of power.

Lawlessness left unchecked leads to rioting, looting and social unrest and that seems to be the aim of politicians (democrats, republicans and independents) who fail to stand up to defend the Rule of Law = The Constitution!

Prove me wrong President Biden, Senate Majority Leader Schumer and House Speaker Johnson?

Prove me wrong!

Is This Insanity or Just Plain Stupidity?

I’m guessing the radical progressive politicians in American society haven’t gotten the memo or maybe they simply couldn’t process it correctly? The campuses of New York’s premier Ivy League universities are being held hostage by those making a political statement that shows their ignorance of world affairs. Even when a New York high school soccer field has been unlawfully occupied by illegal migrants doesn’t even raise an eyebrow of the Democratic politicians who made it possible. The political elite are proudly displaying their bias by prosecuting a former President of the United States, while congressional democrats attempt to demonize Trump with a “disgraced former president’s act” that if passed could come back to bite them in the tush. But does it really matter that lawlessness runs freely on the streets of New York City while the “justice system” is involved in its own version of election interference? For Democrats going after Trump time after time using the same tactics and expecting different results simply doesn’t register with them.

Insanity – The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition

Insanity /ĭn-săn′ĭ-tē/

noun

Severe mental illness or derangement. Not used in psychiatric diagnosis.

Unsoundness of mind sufficient to render a person unfit to maintain a contractual or other legal relationship or sufficient to warrant commitment to a mental health facility.

Incapacity to form the criminal intent necessary for legal responsibility, as when a mental disorder prevents a person from knowing the difference between right and wrong.

Insanity – Wikipedia

Insanity, madness, lunacy, and craziness are behaviors caused by certain abnormal mental or behavioral patterns. Insanity can manifest as violations of societal norms, including a person or persons becoming a danger to themselves or to other people. Conceptually, mental insanity also is associated with the biological phenomenon of contagion (that mental illness is infectious) as in the case of copycat suicides. In contemporary usage, the term insanity is an informal, un-scientific term denoting “mental instability”; thus, the term insanity defense is the legal definition of mental instability. In medicine, the general term psychosis is used to include the presence of delusions and/or hallucinations in a patient;^[1] and psychiatric illness is “psychopathology“, not mental insanity.^[2]

Stupidity – The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition

Stupidity /stoo͞-pĭd′ĭ-tē, styoo͞-/

noun

The quality or condition of being stupid.

A stupid act, remark, or idea.

The quality or state of being stupid; extreme dullness of perception or understanding; insensibility; sluggishness.
Similar: insensibility sluggishness

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

“Stupid” redirects here.

For other uses, see Stupidity (disambiguation) and Stupid (disambiguation).

Stupidity is a lack of intelligence, understanding, reason, or wit, an inability to learn. It may be innate, assumed or reactive. The word stupid comes from the Latin word stupere. Stupid characters are often used for comedy in fictional stories. Walter B. Pitkin called stupidity “evil”, but in a more Romantic spirit William Blake and Carl Jung believed stupidity can be the mother of wisdom.

Since everybody is an expert arm chair quarterback on what ails America, let me offer this bit of advice on the lawlessness occurring at institutions of higher education, Congress or the President should immediately suspend, terminate or stop funding institutions who allow educational disruptions to occur on campus. Freedom of Speech and the Right to Assemble do not include causing an unsafe campus for ALL students. As for the “migrants” occupying a high school campus, or any other facility or property should be removed, booked (documented) and deported to the nearest country outside the confines of the United States. On the lawlessness let loose on New Yorkers, the state’s Governor and the Attorney General who allow these actions to continue should be immediately recalled, arrested and imprisoned and impeached and barred for life from holding any elected office. As for Congressional malfeasance, that should be grounds for dismissal from office and being held accountable in the same criminal justice system being levied on their political adversaries.

You be the judge.

Citizens of other countries visiting, residing or working in the United States are expected to obey all laws of the United States and of the states in which they enter.
