Not today, Marxists

 On November 5th my country escaped, handsomely and most fortunately, the return to the eras of Hitler, Stalin and Lenin and as usual the pollsters underestimated the sane but shy voters:  “The Great Silent Majority,” long loathed by the Left. I pay scant attention to the polls.  I think they are flawed, the pollsters will slant results, even if ever so slightly, in favor of the fee payors.  I would NEVER trust a poll from CBS, CNN or FOX.. There are some good pollsters out there.  I like the Quinnipiac poll out of Connecticut.

We really did avoid the end or our democracy.  The far left, the Marxist puppeteers of the democratic party, fully intended to limit speech; Biden tried a “government news bureau” which was intended to entice the public to fetch its news from the government rather than the news networks.  I don’t know who quashed it; I suspect both parties - to their credit - but the constitution is the only barrier to the Marx/Lenin/Hitler totalitarian  management of news Biden sought and Harris would have as well.  

Here is what must do in four years::

1. Immediate opening of energy of all sorts:  fossil fuel, hydroelectricity, nuclear, solar and wind, ONLY IF ECONOMICALLY COST-EFFECTIVE and with no government incentive for any source. I still don't understand the Marxist resistance to nuclear power except the desire that the west live with less, irrespective of alternatives…you know, because Africans don’t have reliable plentiful electricity we should not either.

2. Drop our pledge to the Paris Climate Accord. Sorry Greta Thunberg.  Most people do not realize that India and China, together the largest CO2 polluters in the world and greater than all other countries combined, do not participate in the Paris Climate Accord, to the complete absence of public shaming. Really? Notice the perfect absence of criticism from the climate change alarmists?  I do mean “perfect.” Punish the West for economic success and our standard of living?  underdeveloped countries do not have CO2 reduction goals, you know, because they must “catch up” to us in the West first. I once criticized, with no luck of course, the National Weather Service in Caribou, Maine for including a link to an advocacy group for CO2 reduction; not a peer-reviewed scientific study, an advocacy document. Trump will direct NOAA to disassociate itself from any political/philosophical perspective on climate change. Peer-reviewed facts only.

3. Drop our membership in the U.N. and stop all costs of the operation.  If the city of New York wishes to keep the headquarters building, at its own cost, fine, but no Federal payments to help New York do that. The U.N. loathes the U.S. We are masochists to support that organization!

4. Cessation of all grants to higher education that does not have a strict non-discrimination policy that investigates ALL allegations of violations and offenders are punished equally without respect to political or philosophical beliefs, race, gender, blah, blah, blah.  Students will be encouraged to file violations of non-discrimination policy with the Department of Education, a section of which will be devoted to investigation of and enforcement of higher education civil rights policy. ALSO, federal prosecution (or civil litigation if that is the only avenue) of universities that allow violation of non-discrimination policy. Students will be permitted to file alleged violations against  individual teachers, campus groups or advocates and the universities themselves.  That a professor hates whites and males, if a professor or students of opposite opinion, in the same classroom are free to opine, with no harassment or intimidation… probably can be managed. Student performance  will be graded with no consideration of the professor’s personal opinion. A student who believes his written expression is poorly graded or criticized based on the opinions s/he submits, may ask for a “second opinion.” Free speech is deeply important; NO MANAGED SPEECH.

5. Begin Federal litigation against Evanston, Illinois, the State of New York and other governments that attempt to implement “reparations” payments to blacks or any organization of which blacks are the beneficiaries. Bill Gates, who gave $50,000,000 to Kamala Harris, is quite welcome to give $50,000,000 to black beneficient organizations, NOT as a pass-through to any government managed  program. No governme t participation whatsoever.

6. DoJ will litigate against any state anti-gun laws, according to the US Supreme Court ruling, “New York State Rifle and Pistol Association Vs. Bruen.” Most reasonable people, or at least, I, think citizens do not need rocket-propelled grenades, but pistols, rifles of any sort:  leave them alone.  I choose how to defend myself, not the government. If the Marxists want to continue to lobby against “assault rifles” then may as well allow RPG’s and let them fight that too.

7. Blanket parton all “Insurrectionist” convictions for the January 6, chaos unless the conviction was clearly fact-based and not political.A gauge is, did the Feds equally prosecute Black Lives Matter destruction of private or public property? The D.C. police officer who shot a woman for no valid reason and was “excused” should be prosecuted criminally as well as the D.C. police. Huge civil awards and criminal prosecution where possible. I don’t like massive sums for wrong-doing but in this case that may be the best message.  I would prefer the officer and the D.C. chief of police be tried criminally but I don’t think that will happen. It can, but won’t. The  family of the woman who was shot by the D.C. police officer is suing for $30,000,000 but the award should be so great the department struggles for funding. Ya know, Bill Gates, so in love with Harris and her Marxsts, could pay that award for the city.

8. Close the borders.  This one is easy.

9. Eradicate all “cultural sensitivity” education in the military and government service.  The purpose of the military is protection of the U.S. not to apportion membership or favoritism. No more “cultural sensitivity education” The  purpose of general government is service to the citizens not the advocacy for “previously oppressed groups.”       10. Were I at the negotiating table Trump might not deport illegals   already here but NO GOVERNMENT BENEFITS IN ANY FORM for some period of time perhaps fifteen years.  In the meantime illegals must pay into both health and social security funds given that eventually they might use those benefits.. I paid into both  for 50 years; and I STILL pay for medicare. I want priority in drawing on those benefits. I paid into both for 50 years before I drew any benefits. Healthcare is a commodity not a constitutional right.  It is reasonable that recipient wannabes pay into the systems long before drawing on any of them…like I did. In the meantime they also pay income taxes. Medicaid may pay for illegals but any Federal money given to the states for Medicaid must be uniquely identifiable and separated  from money the states wish to use to benefit illegals. Oh, and reinstitute required work for citizens who receive medicaid, if the federal government is going to contribute to it. Illegals will be required to pay hospital bills even though indigent.

11. Illegals will NEVER  vote in any election at any level, unless they, through current systems, become citizens. That takes a long time; I know personally; and no application  changes should be instituted to speed up the process..

12. Public education will come under critical public scrutiny. Reports of public education failure will become news so the public understands the failure of public education and the incarceration of children from which they will never escape. Trump will pursue, through the department of education, grants to and laws favorable to private schooling, “Separation of Church and State” notwithstanding I do not understand why the NEA, et al have been able to block support of private education.  I buy the concept of separation of church and state.  Might private schools offer secular education with the option for students to attend religious education outside of school hours?  Religious institutions are rigid about inserting religion into their schools.  This shoots the school in the foot and has been a block to public funding of private schools. Relaxing the requirement for non-secular teachings would serve the private institutions and the public. The NEA et al are determined to incarcerate kids in schools that leave them perfectly unprepared to participate in society and provide for themselves.  A few years ago I read a study that said Baltimore public schools had not ONE fourth grade student proficient in fourth grade math.  Are you fucking kidding me?

13. It is my understanding that ALL DoJ employees are “at will.”  I am not sure of that.  Fire Garland (we are lucky he was never confirmed as a Supreme Court Justice) and his minions as he (Trump) walks to his desk on Day1.  I do not expect a pledge of unquestioned loyalty but EVERY employee must sign an unambiguous, no-spin pledge to the constitution as defined by their superiors - with whistleblower access if the employee thinks the supervisor is out of line or politically/philosophically slanted.. DoJ is riddled with truly horrible and malicious people. Truly dangerous people.

14. DoJ will no longer harass individuals or organizations that disagree with the government at any level.  Citizens who object to a school board policy will no longer be branded “domestic terrorists,” A school board who alleges that of any citizen will be criminally prosecuted (if possible) for violation of the citizen’s first amendment rights. Federal funding of PUBLIC schools that attempt to discourage public input will cease.

15. Abortion policy is not important to me except that the Federal government will NEVER pay for an abortion.  Abortions should be done within the first trimester. Allowed or not allowed, abortion should be a states’ rights issue with the few exceptions I note here.  If dear young mom cannot make up her mind in thirteen weeks…life is tough.  Abortions for the mother's health will be well documented and a responsible, related  objecting party may ask for a second opinion. For instance, if the mother or her advocate says the mother might die, that claim might be confirmed by a second opinion, Many women-uber-allis organizations fund abortions.  Bill Gates can help them with a $50,000,000 donation. Enough money to go around, even so mom can be reimbursed for travel from those women-hating states to states that do allow abortions.

16.No gun restrictions except those that most would consider reasonable; no guns in taverns, courtrooms, hospitals.  Government buildings may NOT  block gun possession. I think rocket propelled grenades don’t belong in the individuals possession but if the marxists want to compare a pistol to an “assault weapon” then, what the heck, let them compare  RPG’s to pistols (see #6)

17. Under both Reagan and Trump I have been disappointed with their failure to reduce the national deficit.  I am not an economist but I just don’t get how this can continue. I would not reduce the deficit by tax increases. Reduce the deficit by reducing government employment and programs. I once read - unconfirmed - that the average government salary in D.C. is over $100,000.  It is expensive to live there, I understand that; but those salaries are not justified. SOME government employees find public service a noble calling and if they cannot afford to live on $60,000 a year they will have roommates or a significant other who works. That is not “cruel and unusual punishment.” Private sector families often have to have two incomes. GOVERNMENT DOES NOT EXIST TO PROVIDE EMPLOYMENT.  GOVERNMENT EXISTS TO PROVIDE SERVICES.  I have often proposed that all government need not reside in D.C.  Could the Department of Energy be based in Albuquerque, New Mexico?  Could the Department of Education be based in Boise, Idaho?  Could the Department of Homeland Security be based in Midland, Texas?  Of course.  Cost of living is less in those places and it damn well would be less in D.C. if overnight the housing vacancy rate in D.C. were 50%. Government employees are union but Trump should risk shutting down government if need be, to get concessions from workers. NO BACK PAY WHEN GOVERNMENT RESUMES. Currently employees do get back pay. When a fast food employee is sent home because his business had a fire, s/he does not get back pay when the operation resumes. 

Government clearly exists only to preserve itself (I worked in Washington State government for 25 years so I know of what I speak;) the current culture is not at all about public service.  Much of government could be contracted to the private sector.  Not all such contractors will provide quality services but the benefit TO THE PUBLIC is that the bad performer does not get the next contract and services will likely cost less than when performed by the government monopoly. Contract letting will be in plain language and easily accessible to the public. Currently, government workers, not interested in public service, rarely lose their jobs.  A contractor can lose a contract and that is sufficient motivation.  Competition is the only avenue to better government service. We eschew monopolies in the private sector, you know, those big evil corporations. We should conduct business enjoying cost savings and service quality provided via competition. 

In his first term Trump once signed a “continuing resolution” - short-term funding to avoid government shutdown. Continuing resolutions are like pumping fluid into the medical patient while not bothering to stop the bleeding.  The Feds are supposed to pass a biennial budget but don’t.  Legislators do not like to commit to a two-year document that might not serve their intended interests and in the meantime, are elected out in two years (house members only)  Trump then said he would not sign another one…then he did. Actually that is one reason I did NOT vote for him in 2020 (the other was failure to work aggressively for gun rights).  Perhaps this time with no possibility of re-election, he will show more backbone. The public thinks if government shuts down their lives will come to an end.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  If lives are going to come to an end it will be under the Marxist regime we just so fortunately avoided. Remember the three previously mentioned dictators murdered people. A president who calls dissenters “garbage” is blocked only by our constitution from political/philosophical “cleansing.”

18. No more minority or womens’ grants, AT ALL. Why these programs survive civil rights law is beyond me but they are, on the surface, discriminatory. Women are not aggrieved and Blacks have received government handouts since at least back to Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society” in the sixties.  In the future all minorities who believe they lack “privilege” can invest in private education so the next generation can survive on its own without extorting whites. The marxists have assured themselves (well, maybe not) continued power by incarcerating inner-city youth, guaranteeing that these kids cannot provide for themselves at adulthood.

Trump disappointed me his first term and did not get my vote in 2020     

 I voted for him this time because the end of our country was becoming more apparent under the hoped-for marxist regime.  Since he cannot be re-elected perhaps he will be less timid about true government reform.  It is long past time for government to serve the people and not itself.

Crossing my fingers!!
