A thousand dollars a month, plus free stuff!
The best way to get votes for your run to the White House is to promise free things and access the public checkbook. At least that is what I think was driving the Democratic candidates as they presented their views at last week’s 2020 presidential debate in Detroit.
We heard everything from taxing the rich to free health insurance, free education, open borders, more government controls, and a proposal of a thousand dollars a month to each family from the federal government. Of course they all want to get started with impeachment of President Trump, citing the Mueller Report. But remember that, Democratic operatives, not Robert Mueller, put that report together. Some also took aim at former president Obama that forced Joe Biden on the defensive.
Of course, us old white guys got the blame for everything that is wrong and especially the race thing. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) blamed the Democratic loss of Michigan in 2016 race for the President on efforts to suppress black voters by everyone from Republicans to Russians.
New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand went on about white supremacy, telling: “When their son is walking down the street with a bag of M&Ms in his pocket wearing a hoodie, his whiteness is what protects him from being shot.”
Senator Elizabeth Warren’s (D-Massachusetts) statement on combating the rise of White Supremacy: “We need to call out white supremacy for what it is: Domestic Terrorism. And it poses a threat to the United States of America.”
I wish I could wave a magic wand and make everyone feel equal and put a stop to this division of race.
But then we have the gang of four or as it is called the “Squad of Four”. It is four freshman Congressional women of color who have made the headlines with their socialist ideas about our country and have pushed the Democratic Leadership to give them more power in Congress than most freshmen representative receive. One of the four, Ilhan Omar, from Minneapolis has been criticized for making a comment about white men “cause most of the deaths.”
In a piece written by Matt Walsh of The Bearded Patriot quotes Omar from a recently resurfaced interview on Qatari propaganda network Al Jazeera where she stated: “I would say our country should be more fearful of white men across our country because they are actually causing most of the deaths within this country. And so if fear was the, driving force of policies to keep America safe, Americans safe inside of this country, we should be profiling, monitoring, and creating policies to fight the radicalization of white men.”
According to information that I found in the above piece indicates that white people commit about 45 percent of the murders and blacks commit about 50 percent of the murders. About 60 percent of the United States population is white and blacks make up about 13 percent of the total population.
I listen to those four when they are speaking on news reports or interviews. I have yet to determine if they really have the best interest of what our country is or if they want to change it into something else.
I know we have allowed a small group of people to take away our Christian faith and replaced it with nothing but a void. And it looks like that void is like a vacuum and we are drawing different faiths into our government with much different ideas on how we should live. We all must be vigilant, or we might end up in a land that we don’t care much for.
