The bad legislation continues…

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

A recent poll suggested that less than 20% of the public now believe that our public officials are truthful. It goes well-beyond public officials. It’s’ every segment of society: corporations, news media, universities, churches, social media, the military and last but certainly not least, the FBI. This does not bode well for the future of our Republic. I have voted Republican since I was eligible to vote (I did vote for Ross Perot over Bush). I no longer have any confidence in most Republicans—only a very few. The Democrats are simply a bunch of wacked-out Marxists who all vote in lock-step. Incredibly, 19 Republican Senators just voted for the recently passed $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Bill, including Lindsey “the fence-straddler” Graham and Mitch “I love China” McConnell. This bill goes back to the House for tweaking. Many progressives say they won’t vote for it unless the uber-progressive $3.5 trillion “human infrastructure” reconciliation bill is passed in tandem. If both these bills pass, you might want to simply fall to your knees and pray, which is not a bad idea to do anyway. Call your representatives and Senators and tell them “NO.” We must fight this with everything we have. What exactly is in these bills?

The so-called Infrastructure Bill allocates only $110 billion to roads and bridges. It allocates $73 billion to power infrastructure, $66 billion to passenger and freight rail, $65 billion to high-speed internet and $39 billion to public transit. They lie through their teeth and claim they won’t have to raise taxes, calling it “revenue neutral.” It will increase the deficit, and thus, the national debt by at least $256 billion. It includes provisions for expanding internet access for prisons and creates a new government bureaucracy to increase the number of female truck drivers. It funds and promotes an anti-automobile agenda. It provides $1 billion for tearing down highways in urban areas under the guise of “reconnecting communities,” which gives new meaning to the term “addressing our crumbling highways.” It is a 2,700 page bloated and bureaucratic monstrosity.

The $3.5 trillion Human Infrastructure reconciliation bill opens the door for full-blown socialism and Marxism. But, since it is a “reconciliation instruction” at this point in time, it only directs a Congressional authorizing committee to report legislation that pushes a change in direct spending, revenue, or change in the public debt limit. What does this mean? It’s the same Nancy Pelosi gibberish used in the passage of Obamacare. “We have to pass the bill so you can find out what’s in it.” Of course, they pronounced it a reconciliation bill so the Democrats can pass it with only 51 votes instead of 60. It will mean tax substantial increases and more unbridled spending.

We have had over $6 trillion in government infusions since early 2020. I’m begging the good people of this country to pay attention. These people are absolutely ruining the future of and for your children and grandchildren. This money was borrowed and must be repaid at some point. History clearly demonstrates this principal. This bill will soon come due.

Don’t forget, the Democrats continue to push HR1, which takes the control of Federal Elections away from the states and allows anyone to vote using the out-of-control methods used in the 2020 election. n other words, it is a bill whose specific intent is to keep the Democrats in power. It will attempt to legalize fraud. The Democrats continuously refer to this as “voting rights” when it is nothing but legalized voter fraud. I urge every citizen to contact their Representatives and Senators to ensure that this bill is stopped dead in its tracks.

I want to reiterate just how instrumental and responsible Governor Brian Kemp is for the current makeup of the U.S. Senate. Kemp completely ignored the documented fraud that occurred in Fulton County that gave the election to Biden. He refused to call a Special Session of the State Legislature. When has a sitting governor of any state not aligned himself with a president who is of the same party? Kemp ensured the election win for Raphael Warnock and John Ossoff by not changing the free-for-all jungle primary when he had the chance. When a group of legislators, early last year, tried to change the jungle primary and institute a typical primary/run-off format, Kemp let it be known that he would veto the bill and stop any effort to change the law. One of Houston County’s representatives, Shaw Blackmon, made a valiant effort to support this bill that would have instituted a primary and runoff, instead of the jungle format for the Senate election, but Kemp simply made another of many bad choices.

Many Democrats supported the change to a primary format for the election as well. Kemp appointed the worst possible Senate candidate, Kelly “Buckhead Barbie” Loeffler (instead of the president’s choice, Doug Collins), who immediately became the wealthiest Senator in the United States by virtue of her marriage to Jeffrey Sprecher, Chairman and owner of the New York Stock Exchange. Kemp was worried that Buckhead Barbie would not benefit from the change from jungle to run-off format. As it turned out, this simple mother of all political mistakes, that gave the victory to Warnock and Ossoff, put the Democrats in charge of the U.S. Senate for the next two years. Did anyone ever ask the question—How did Brian Kemp personally benefit from this ginormous snafu? His political instincts are terrible. Kemp made mistake after mistake and compounded those mistakes with more mistakes. Brian Kemp, the self-proclaimed governor of election integrity, is personally responsible for one of the greatest political messes in our 240-year history. It is time to hold him accountable and correct our biggest mistake—allowing Brian Kemp to become governor!

There is a video that Brian Kemp made, a year or so ago, while standing in front of a Chinese Communist flag and making the following statement: “China is a top source for imports and our third largest export market. We welcome thousands of Chinese visitors every year to the ‘Peach State’ and we are constantly helping to develop new opportunities for Chinese companies.” This man does not deserve to be governor of this state. He is an affront to good governance and integrity.

We absolutely must stand up to the malfeasance and tyranny creeping into all areas of our lives. Take a stand for what is right. Freedom is not free. Milton Friedman once said, “A society that puts equality before freedom will get neither. A society that puts freedom before equality will get a high degree of both.”
