Time For A National ID

I know, I know…the intrusiveness, the “Big Brother”, Orwellian, fascist aspects of national identification have affronted freedom-loving Americans since the concept was first conceived of. However, we now have in America millions…I repeat…millions of non-citizens/illegal aliens living and working and taking advantage of us, and the number is growing by the day. Because we are a rich nation, the burden is spread out among us all, although I hasten to add it is far greater on some than others. How do we deal with this ever-increasing problem? Regrettably, and perhaps tragically, call it a “forensic audit”, call it an “honest headcount”, call it what you will, we are rapidly approaching the point where every individual within our borders must be able to PROVE, without ambiguity, that they are here legally. And equally important, voters must be able to prove they are citizens!

The Left, of course, wants to simply make everyone a citizen so they maximize their voting block and thus their power. It cannot be overstated how nefarious the Left’s intentions are. They care little about either the illegal aliens or the people on whose shoulders their burden falls. They care first and foremost about their power. If you have any doubts about this, you’re either completely brainwashed and gaslighted, blind, dumb or simply asleep and probably should stop reading right here.

We already have a national identification system. It’s called a U.S. Passport. It also comes in the form of a U.S. Passport Card issued by the Department of State and is the only federal document that certifies the citizenship of the holder aside of course naturalization papers, certificates of citizenship, etc. which are not meant to be carried on one’s person and which should be sitting in safe-deposit boxes or carefully secured! Even the Real ID feature of driver’s licenses, while more or less* authenticating the legal status of the holder, doesn’t unequivocally authenticate the citizenship of the holder. A non-citizen, foreign national, legal resident, for example, can obtain a Real ID star on his or her driver’s license.

* I say more or less because the documents that must be presented to obtain a driver’s license in some states are easily obtained or forged and do not unequivocally include proof of citizenship! While Real ID may go a long way to demonstrating LEGAL STATUS, it doesn’t mean one is qualified by citizenship to VOTE! (If someone can prove me wrong on this, please do so. Only then will I concede that Real ID substitutes for a U.S. Passport as proof of citizenship!). Certainly, merely presenting a driver’s license DOES NOT!

What the Left are trying to brainwash the entire country into believing, and, unfortunately, many on the Right keep parroting, is that voters need to present ID to vote. WRONG! Voters need to present PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP to vote, and it’s abundantly clear that voter rolls, signature verification and the mail-in ballot process don’t even begin to qualify as certifying the validity of the vote by a CITIZEN.

Back to the “forensic audit” and related initiatives to restore integrity to our vote and reliance on our founding principles… As draconian and Orwellian as it will appear, we’ve gotten to the point where the Left has so putrefied the LEGAL immigration system that we MUST find out who is here and once and for all deal with the sovereignty of our nation! This calls for a comprehensive, multifaceted plan: 1) an HONEST census not just asking who’s living there but legal status as well (and don’t tell me we can’t do that…the current administration is fine to have people show up at your door to cajole or browbeat you to get the vaccine if you haven’t had it!!!) ; 2) It’s not just a matter, however, of figuring out who is here illegally…it’s also having a humane plan for dealing with those who are demonstrably illegal residents/aliens whether through deportation, temporary worker status, or any of many other possible outcomes and 3) federal law that gives authority to law enforcement to demand proof of legal status any time, any place with CONSEQUENCES for those who can’t provide it, 4) elimination of electronic verification, collection and counting of voting ballots, elimination of harvesting and all the other tricks of illegal voting, restoration of voting exclusively in person on election day by paper ballot, signed and authenticated, certifiable mechanisms for permitting mail-in-voting exceptions (such as military overseas).

Of course the WALL must be completed. Of course border patrols and protection must be drastically beefed up. Of course law enforcement will have to not just be “refunded” but increased many-fold and meticulously trained in preparation for such a program. Of course the Left will have to be muzzled (.sic) and bound to prevent their inevitable histrionics, pushback, open violent revolt (REAL insurrection).

It will be ugly, messy, fraught with problems and to have any hope of succeeding while preserving what’s left of our constitutional principles, it must be done by legislative means, meaning once the Democrats are removed from power. Next year the Right must take back the House and Senate, and by the Right I also mean replacing any unprincipled, wishy washy professional politician Republicans who are “in it” as a career, or for the power, prestige, or pecuniary benefits rather than true allegiance to their oaths to defend the Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic. From 2022 through 2024 the Leftist agenda must be brought to a screeching halt. If the Right is able to obtain super-majorities in Congress, the process of planning and instituting National ID can go forth immediately. If not, then the planning can at least be undertaken in earnest so that it can be implemented in 2024 (2025) when the Right will once again hold both houses and the presidency.

We are losing our country to the Leftist/Globalist cabal and mob and we really have two choices: either continue to surrender our national identity, heritage, traditions, everything we hold dear to them, allowing our freedoms to increasingly be eroded and tyranny to take over, or “gird up our loins” and establish a different kind of “RESET” – one which purges our country of the evil being unleashed upon it and restores the principles and values that made it the most free and greatest nation the world has ever known.

The Left will of course whine that the institution of a MANDATORY national ID is the essence of totalitarianism, and to some extent it touches on tyrrany. But the alternative, as we are already seeing, is far worse. Once a national ID is instituted and the illegal residents of our country dealt with (and again, I emphasize that the consequences of being here illegally will range across a whole continuum from amnesty to deportation), the basic principles of our republic can be re-invigorated, “re-set” if you will, such that we can restore that which served to do the most good for more people on this earth than any other system in history.

Taking Stock of Where We Are

Ok, it’s been a little over a month now and as I predicted, the damage being done by the Left is already starting to take its toll. Our energy independence has already been damaged and gas prices are rising quickly, The Democrats are bending over backwards to hug the Iranians. They’ve rejoined the farcical Paris Climate Accords. There’s a bill just passed by the House that will encourage boys to invade the girls’ bath and changing rooms and win all the track and field awards. Everything GOOD about the last four years is being deliberately undermined. Why?…to try to erase/cancel anything and everything about Trump and permanently banish him from politics and the Earth!

Is it just me, or does this appear to be the most childish, petulant, unhinged and tantrum-throwing behavior ever exhibited by human beings…grown-ups (not adults and not children) you’ve ever witnessed? I wish I could draw…I’d have two scenes in the cartoon I have in mind. In the first Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff and the rest of the Cabal are lying on the floor in a circle stamping their feet and fists and screaming, “Hillary should have been President! He stole the presidency from her.” In the second they’re all standing, jumping up and down screaming, “We showed them! We won!”

I think a third scene is needed. The same Cabal is sitting around a table, this time with the addition of people like Soros, Gates, Zuckerberg, Kerry, etc. Kamala Harris is there, of course, and Susan Rice is whispering in her ear saying, “Now, let’s do anything and everything we must to ensure we have power permanently in our hands: we’ll open the borders and give the illegals voting rights; we’ll demand compliance with draconian identity and “protection” regulations and statutes like mandatory vaccinations and mask wearing that will subjugate the peons and make them bend to our will. In short order they won’t be able to shop for groceries without an approved identity card! We’ll reward the homosexuals, transvestites and transgender ‘dysphoriacs’ so we can show how woke we are and continue the brainwashing we’ve been engaged in since the 60’s. We’ll push the military and intelligence community into accepting, no, celebrating sexual deviance and put leaders in place who will kowtow to us. Oh, and we’ll take away people’s ability to defend themselves by scrapping the 2nd Amendment. Don’t worry Ms. Vice President, as you know, Joe isn’t going to last for long and YOU will soon be our first woman (.sic), er gender-neutral, President.”

The tragedy of the above scenario is that it isn’t Orwellian fiction. It’s happening, right before our eyes and right here in River City (1)! The lunatics are indeed running the asylum, and the adults are chasing around after them as if they were herding cats or trying to catch a swarm of crickets. The Right is desperately trying to preserve traditional norms in politics and government. We are trying to act dignified and mature while the idiots on the Left don’t give a damn anymore who they offend, who they hurt…they don’t even acknowledge the United States as a sovereign, constitutional republic anymore! They say anything, do anything and with the endorsement and unbridled assistance of Big Tech and the media, will continue with their depravity and self-destructive, puerile antics until one of two things happen. Either: a) the People successfully revolt and cause the idiots to suffer the consequences of their idiocy (e.g. Gavin Newsome and Andrew Cuomo getting politically lynched) or b) enough anger and disgust builds up that the People, witnessing their impotence in the face of razor-wire protected government spewing forth diktats against their best interests, realize that collectively they have the power to root out and defeat the Leftists. The secession movements get traction, or some people get so pissed off that they REALLY incite armed rebellion and insurrection!

Both of the above are already happening, and this may not end well. So, in the meantime, getting prepared for not just temporary but long term utility interruptions, diminishing our reliance on tech and finding and supporting alternative sources of news and opinion are just some of the things we ought to be thinking about.

It’s said that “We are what we read.” Well, we also need to cleave to the voices we agree with! Forget the honest, liberal notion that we should welcome all opinions and views and subject everything, transparently, to honest debate. BS! If you think an honest debate can be had with domestic terrorists like the Democrat Party hyena leadership, I say, “Open your eyes…you’re sadly deluded!” Instead, gain strength and fighting words from those who can “say it better than we.”

A lot of people say, “That’s crazy! Reading and listening to conservative media is as bad as what the Left is doing listening to the mainstream demagogues and sycophants.” “It’s just as bad to live in the Right -wing bubble as it is to live in the Leftist one!”

I disagree. I’m discriminating and smart enough, thank you, to separate conspiracy myths and right-wing click bait from conservative-leaning and neutral news reporting and opinion. And I’m a skeptic of ALL media if I smell that what I’m reading is nothing more than sensationalism meant to lead the authors to “The Money”!

So, I constantly review and alter my newsfeed diet. Here is what I’m reading/viewing now:

The Epoch Times
Gateway Pundit
The Liberty Daily
Bongino Report
Just the News
Zero Hedge
Town Hall
American Thinker
Newsmax
Free Republic
The Daily Wire
Mike Huckabee.com
The Conservative Treehouse
Straight Line Logic
Liberty Nation News
Whatfinger
Love Breeds Accountability
World News Daily
Redstate
Jonathan Turley
Mark Levin

You’ll notice Fox News isn’t on the list. Since Rupert turned over management to his son(s), their “follow the money” pursuit has caused them to abandon their original traditional/conservative roots. The Right personalities and pundits who remain, like Tucker Carlson, Maria Bartiromo, etc. will eventually abandon the sinking ship and move to new, alternative platforms (or, like Lou Dobbs, will be cancelled).

You’ll also notice that I no longer have the Wall Street Journal on my list. The Journal, which was a mainstay of my diet for over 40 years, I’ve come to realize with age and wisdom is exclusively dedicated to the “Follow the Money” theme. In their case, of course, Money IS the topic and to have the worship and pursuit of money, even “clean” money as a constant in my diet seems misplaced now.

So I encourage my readers to be wise, be skeptical, be careful, be patient, thoughtful. Rededicate yourselves to Right principles. Live them. Do not abide fools…some of your friends may simply have to cease being your friends.

Be tolerant and patient with family members still under the spell of the little screens two inches from their noses… who lack wisdom, are filled with Leftist doctrine because they haven’t the exposure to Right principles, who lack courage to throw the BS flag and go along to get along. Love them despite their profligacy, sheepishness and naivete. It’s very easy to be angered when we hear nonsense coming out of their mouths with so much conviction. It often takes tremendous restraint to calmly, in our “indoor voices” try to exorcise the cancer they’ve been infected with.

Trying times.

Never give up. Never, never, give up.
