1) Should the President have immunity from criminal prosecution?
Yes, but only while in office or if he/she is no longer able to run for the office due to impeachment or term limit. In other words, a President should not be subject to criminal charge while in office or after leaving office IF he/she is legally allowed to run for the office (has not been impeached or term limited out). Once a person can’t run, they are no longer a threat to the opposition. Yeah, I know, some “crimes” are not discovered until after a President leaves office and vindictiveness will always exist … nothing’s perfect.
2) When pro-Hamas/Iranian protesters gather, why is it labeled anti-Semitic but when pro-Israel protesters gather, it’s never called anti-Muslim?
It’s all about the ballot box; there are more Muslim voters than Jewish voters.
3) Of the tens of thousands of current college campus protesters, what is the percentage of Christians? Zero (true Christians, that is). Israel is the canary in the mine, the red-flag, the line-in-the-sand, the warning that if the Muslims are successful in their “from the river to the sea” goal the Catholics will be next, then one Protestant after another….

In the Spring 2024 issue of WWII History magazine is an interview with a veteran whose diary reads: “12:30am attacked by German planes. We were at our guns but did no firing. We only hoped they couldn’t see us in the darkness.” Then he relates: “…[he] despised having to make dozens of pies to feed the crew…. [I] would go to the top of the ship and start flinging off the pie tins.” This man then had the audacity to continue: “I was glad I did my duty…and did it well”.
Some have said, if you are paid, given educational, medical and retirement benefits to do a job you volunteered for; “serving” in the military or as a LEO or firefighter, doesn’t make you a hero and are owed anything other than a thanks.
Back about 1990, the CEO of a Free Food Bank bragged he was paid $100K/year. GoFundMe type projects are great for tax deductions and especially good for the executives of these 501C3s who take their (very generous) cuts off the top and are proud to say, “I was glad I did my duty…and did it well”.

3 The NY AG might have over-played his hand by forcing the Hush Money trial to begin. Now, Trump might keep the trial running past the election whereas his other trials must be put on hold while at the same time gaining nightly free media exposure.
4 In the police academy we were told that when dispatched to a scene: “Do something”. Hey Congress: re. The border, aid to Israel, Tiawan, Ukraine …. That’s why cops are called, and politicians are elected.
5 Israel’s response to Iran’s embarrassing missile attack: Notify Iran the date, time and locations of the missiles Israel will be sending. These missiles won’t have warheads attached, thus no damage or lives lost – just a non-escalation PR campaign to show the world that Iran can’t defend against them.

Subject: Wrongs
Date Sent: 9 Apr 2024
There are two kinds of wrongs: Malum Prohibitum – wrong because society says it’s wrong and Malum In Se - wrong in and of itself, evil - we don’t need a law to tell us it’s wrong to murder or racially or politically persecute.
“There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.” (Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged, 1957).
Traffic laws are purposely designed to be enforcer-subjective, e.g., it is impossible to drive a MV on a public road without committing a violation thus creating probable cause to conduct a “witch-hunt”. Likewise, weaponized political power uses ambiguous, archaic, blanket-encompassing statutes to also “witch-hunt”.
We’ve come to recognize that many Blacks, with long rap sheets, are victims of enforcer-subjective (read racially inspired) traffic stops and thus are not the criminals they are purported to be. Many Americans see 7-years of Trump persecution as Malum In Se, weaponized, political powers - masquerading as Malum Prohibitum laws - for the sake of eliminating competition.

Subject: Lies

There are all types of lies: big, little, bold, bald-faced, white, damn, outright, hidden, admitted, lying under oath and lies about lying.
Is it ever okay to lie? How ‘bout if your life depended on telling a lie? When is opinion a lie? Is it okay for a political leader to lie to further the interest of a nation? How ‘bout bluffing to negotiate a better deal? Is it a lie if you believe what you say is the truth even if you’re wrong? Is it only a lie if you’re caught?
What kind of lie is:
* Puffing up your resume?
* Spinning news accounts?
* Withholding evidence?
* Not telling the whole truth?
* I’ll call you – when you have no intention of calling?
Are any of these old sayings lies?
* A lie well told and stuck-to is as good as the truth.
* Money isn’t everything.
* Of course, I’ll still love you tomorrow.
* I really value your opinion.
* The check must have been lost in the mail.
* I never speed officer, honest.
* I’m from the government and I’m here to help … you, the government, my political party….

1) The Palestinians in Gaza are trapped in the southern region without food, water and medical facilities while IDF continues to advance. Why don’t they charge the Egyptian border where the trucks carrying these essential goods are waiting to enter? Egypt has minimal troops at this border and if rushed, how could they deny entry to these war-torn refugees? Once on Egyptian soil, the IDF won’t be attacking.
2) It might be a smart move for Biden to grant a blanket pardon to Trump and offer to negotiate a congressional bill to settle his civil fine? That way he could claim he is healing America and bringing us together. Public opinion, media and voters might take a dim view of Trump if he refused.
3) With Russia, Iran and America expending 100% of their respective war material capacity, wouldn’t a move by China to attack Taiwan or NKo to invade SKo be opportunistic?

Date Sent: 5 Mar 2024
America is a republic where voters elect representatives to govern according to a set of written rules – a constitution. Though Iran calls itself a republic, they are de facto controlled by religious doctrine of the Koran. These Muslims have made it clear they envision an Islamic world were an Ayatollah – religious monarch – rules by dictates of their “bible”.
Due to Great Britain’s need of Arab oil, they have fostered a long-term, open-border appeasement of Muslims that is currently creating havoc. These now-citizen, idealistic, Muslim loyalists have been incrementally voting their members into Parliament while intimidating and physically attacking MPs who oppose them. This is a pattern beginning to appear in the USA as Biden appeases Palestinians, Iran, the radical left…. Infiltration of Muslims in America is evidenced by the number of these religious fundamentalist having elected themselves to local, state and federal offices (witness: The Squad, MN, Detroit….). This is not islamophobia – it’s Judeo/Christian-Posiphobia. (made up term to specify a positive belief).
Winston Churchill defined appeaser as someone who “feeds a crocodile hoping it will eat him last”. The upcoming American elections will provide two choices: The open border, cower to Muslims appeasers or … MAGA, build-the-wall, confront-the-enemy, Judeo/Christian-Posiphobia appeasees?

Immigrants have made the USA what it is because America is such a great place to live, work and worship; billions want to move here – and that’s the rub. There are forces out to render their own rendition of the American dream by taking us over, to wit:
China is endeavoring to conquer America by electronic means including, but not limited to: AI, Hacking of infrastructures, satellites, communications….
Muslims plan is to dominate via the ballot box. So far, they have been successfully congregating in regional districts, garnering enough votes to control local communities and elect their members to Congress.
Russia historically tends to physically destroy their target before conquering.
The Hispanics, numbering in the tens of millions, are illegally infiltrating our porous borders. They might inadvertently take over by sheer numbers.
The Jews have never been imperialistic … they’ll survive but will continue to depend on the kindness of gentile strangers.

The inspiration for this came to me in a dream – just as I was awakening - the night before last.
It’s morning, a fog seemed to be rolling in from the south field of our remote, heavily forested farm. I’m pulling the tractor out of the workshop – only it’s not me – it’s me watching me. A Sheriff’s cruiser is coming toward me - red, white and blue lightbar flashing. Just short of the apron he turns around, creating a furrow in the rain-soaked lawn. A man wearing a Deputy Sheriff’s uniform exits the vehicle. The tractor is running at a fast idle, but I heard exactly what he said: “Those who have kept the covenant with G-d will endure. Stay the course.”
I couldn’t read his name tag and his badge was a 6-pointer made up of two triangles, not the traditional 8-point star. Though the engulfing fog was casting a surreal glow to the area, his eyes were bright, wide-open, intense and unblinking. I started to ask…. He held up his hand and continued, “All circumcised males who trace their linage to Abraham through Issac and Jacob are Hebrews. Keeping the covenant need not have been the result of a religious ceremony, just that it was done. Disseminate”. He then returned to his cruiser and drove into the fog. I watched myself climb down from the tractor, go into the shop, retrieve an iron rake to smooth over the furrow before it dried out … but it was gone as was the fog.

MIRACLES at the GARDEN is a collection of miracles as told to Bill and Pat Miller. The authors describe a miracle as “Extraordinary events that can’t be explained by natural laws … an unusual event, thing or accomplishment considered to be the work of G-d”. Some of these testimonies are amazing accounts that “can’t be explained by natural law”. Probably most of us have experienced the same “extraordinary events” but might not recognize them as “the work of G-d”. Amazon .com
Pete Bronson has produced another Cincinnati based book, THE MAN WHO SAVED CINCINNATI. This is a heavily detailed and footnoted historical accounting of a portion of the Civil War and bio of the “Man” – a General who also wrote Ben-Hur.

Subject: CO2
Date Sent: 6 Feb 2024
The “experts” tell us climate change is due to the increasing carbon dioxide in the global atmosphere caused by the burning of fossil fuels such as gas, oil, wood - and products made from these essential elements, i.e., bombs. Sure, we pollute with commercial and private MVs and powerplants, but what about the CO2 produced by all the combined nations’ war materiel plus their delivery systems, i.e., ships, planes and tanks?
Currently, over 20 countries are actively embroiled in some form of CO2 generating warfare with no incentive to cease hostilities. Suppose there was single “event” that would influence these combatants to stop the war-production of CO2. Surely it would significantly help the environment as well as save innocent lives.
There is one nation that is a common enemy of the East and the West and could be made the guineapig, sacrificial lamb, scapegoat … savior. Perhaps if we – along with China - preemptively launch a few well-placed nukes it would not only destroy this propagator of evil but would send the message that any nation that does not cease CO2 producing hostilities would suffer the same fate. Thus, wouldn’t killing the evil doer kill hostilities while saving the planet?

Recently some states have tried to exclude Trump from the Republican primary ballot citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment: “No person shall … hold any office … who shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion….” Notwithstanding the subjectiveness of “insurrection, rebellion, engaged,” had his persecutors read a little further they would have come across Section 5 of the same Amendment: “The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.” In other words, states do NOT have the power to enforce this Amendment. “Some citizens are less equal than other citizens” (Apologies to George Orwell).
Even before his inauguration, Democrats rallied against him with unmitigated hate. Egged-on by “their media”, they then focused on attacking all Republicans including SCOTUS Justices. Then they expanded their un-American bias on anything they found not to their liking by creating the Woke/Cancel Culture. “The liberals doth protest too much, me thinks.” (apologies to William Shakespeare).
I support Haley, but if Trump is the nominee, I’ll vote for him not only because Democrats have demonstrated their intent to ignore and/or subvert the law, but because Biden is destroying our country with illegals while failing to destroy our enemies.

Down the same path again … and again where a criminal, mental incompetent and/or a child secures a firearm and kills innocents. Liberals can only tout more laws against owning guns; conservatives want to lock-em all up. Perhaps, we should be looking at this issue in a different light.
The only element we haven’t been able to control/remove is motive - the reason why children - and those who were once children - feel so worthless that they not only want to kill themselves, but to kill fellow countrymen. Their motive seems to be a misguided hatred. In countries where their enemy is officially identified we rarely hear of mass killings of fellow nationalists. Today, Western nations fail to identify a common enemy. Perhaps, if the media and education system began teaching, indoctrinating, brainwashing, propagandizing – call it what you may – our hatred could be channeled toward a declared enemy rather than ourselves – we would all have the same goal.
Prior to WW1 and WW2, there was hatred of Blacks, Jews, gays, isolationists…. Then came the wars and we pulled together - the hatred was channeled against a common enemy. We’re back to pre-war days … again.

The federal government has two purposes:
1. To carry out the mandates as laid out in the Constitution.
2. To perpetuate itself. The government (in reality, its employees) must constantly be doing something so as not to seem dysfunctional and useless. If elected officials and bureaucrats - masters of perpetuation – do not continue to create new legislation, rules or controls, they fear voters will consider them unneeded and thus they will soon be unemployed.
Americans want to be all things to all people but are naïve in their beliefs that other nations also think this way. The purpose of the post WW2 Marshall Plan: To help Russia, Germany, Italy Japan and China with reparation funding and favorable trade deals they would enjoy economic freedom and would become like us – peace-loving, democratic, capitalistic and non-imperialistic. China has not only taken advantage of our generosity, but has, through manipulations and theft of trade, military and security secrets, become a threat to the world. Three out of five ain’t so good
