Democrats Economy Election Immigration Politics RKBA Social Security

My name is Scott and I am lifelong conservative republican.

I have been part of the TEA (Taxed Enough Already) party, tend to libertarian wanting the government to leave us alone. I consider myself MAGA Make America Great Again. Any party or group that considers MAGA as dangerous are themselves trying to destroy the country.

I want to go though some of the “dangerous” ideas the leftist are running ads in Arizona against the Republican candidates. Any candidates the democrats deam dangerous is probably someone I would vote for because anyone dangerous to the democrats is a patriotic pro American.

Social Security

Taking Social Security out of government control according to the democrats is a dangerous idea. I say having it in the hands of the democrats is very dangerous. In 1968 the democrats under Lyndon B Johnson a democrat president took the social security trust fund and put it in the general fund to make their deficit spending look less. It has been there since. They keep warning us it will be insolvent in the 2030s but are doing doing nothing to fix it. They have raised the retirement age from 65 to 70. The biggest problem is the national Debt which I will cover next.

Economy

Looking at the debt clock the national debt was $31,153,037,460,437 as I wrote this and is ticking up $29,000 every tick of the clock. That is $93,487 of debt for every single person in America, $247,345 per tax payer. The debt has been increasing for a long time. But under president Obama we spent more than all the previous presidents before him combined. when he was inaugurated the debt was $10.626 trillion, when he left office it was $19.947 trillion. In 2011 for the first time ever the credit rating of the United states was degraded from a top rating. Since then congress has continued spending so much money that other countries will not loan us any more money. Since 2007 the federal reserve has been “quantitative Easing”, basically they bought the public debt to reduce interest rates and printed dollars to cover it. That is why we have 15% inflation was last number I heard. The more they print the less the dollar is worth, the more currency in circulation the less it is worth. Spending because of COVID and since Biden and both the House of Representatives and Senate (Congress collectively) are controlled by the democrats has increased the debt to 31 trillion. They wanted to spend 3 trillion on the green new deal alone. What we really need is a balanced Budget amendment. Do you trust these people who can not control their spending with Social Security? I don’t.

Privatizing Social Security

Mark Kelly the democrat senator who has voted with Biden on 94% of everything is calling Blake Masters his Republican opponent dangerous because he suggested we privatize Social Security. Getting Social Security out of hands of the irresponsible people in congress is a good idea. If the money that has been taken out of my pay for SSI and Medicare had been invested in a IRA for retirement and another for medical care would be worth over a million dollars if invested in a conservative mix of bonds, treasury notes and mutual funds over a lifetime would on average earn 5%, you will get maybe 1.2% from social security assuming it will not go bankrupt in the next 10-15 years. The difference is SSI maybe $200k which when you die will stop and not go to your survives/heirs. An IRA is YOURS, and it can be inherited by your spouse or your children after you pass.

Abortion

If you support limiting abortion which is the murder of an as yet to be born child you will be called dangerous to women health care. Vast number of abortions are NOT for health care reasons and are birth control which is evil and wrong. I have not heard anyone seriously saying stopping medically necessary procedures. But the democrats accuse the republicans of that. The main reason Planned Parenthood which does nearly nothing else but abortion gets lots of money from the government and then turns around and gives some of it to the democrats is why they defend it so vigorously. They care nothing about children.

What are the democrats for?

This election season mainly all their ads are accusing Republicans of being dangerous. But what are they for?

Open boarders allowing million of migrants, criminals, terrorists come across our board uncontrolled. We have an immigration system but the democrats are ignoring it allowing anyone who can cross the boarder in hoping they will be future democrat voters. If they thought these people were voting for republicans you can be sure it would be stopped.

Gun control or in other words violating your second amendment right to defend yourself. We can not put criminals in jail or police officers in gun free school victim areas but we can sure prevent law abiding citizens from buying an AR15.

Green New deal, basic science when I was a kid, all animals breath in oxygen and breath out CO2. Plants take in CO2 and produce oxygen. Only a very small portion of the atmosphere is co2 trace gas and it is NOT causing global climate change. When I was a kid they were predicting an new ice age in the early 1970s. All their predictions from the ice poles melting by 2010 and polar bears dying off (there are more now than since we started counting in the 1950s) etc, ALL their predictions have been wrong. Now California has mandated all cars must be electric by 2035. But now California is telling people to not charge their electric cars because they don’t have enough electricity. Current wind and solar technology can NOT replace conventional power plants which the idiots are trying to shut down. It is not about climate control, it is about controlling your lives and taxing everything you do and have.

The democrats have deliberately driven up gas prices to get you to buy a useless electric car, they will usually deny this but they have. Gas was $2.38 when Biden took office, in Phoenix it is $4.99 average currently. First thing Biden did was cancel the Keystone pipeline from Canada, costing thousands of jobs. Under Trump we were exporting oil instead of buying it. Biden had to undo everything Trump did and canceled oil leases, off shore drilling, shale oil and started buying oil from our enemies. He was recently begging opec to increase production but they have decreased it.

Right to Vote, just watched an ad on TV from the democrats saying the republicans are dangerous to your right to vote. Some how requiring ID is dangerous. I have had to show my ID every time I go into a bank or Doctor office. Every voter should be verified, the only reason democrats are against this is they are trying to cheat. Mark Finchem is dangerous running for Secretary of State because he is a republican. Adrian Fontes the democrat has screwed up the last two elections. Several vote centers in the primary election were short republican ballots. Fontes as county recorder “One of the facts Stevens cites to support his concerns is that Mr. Fontes concocted a plan in 2020 to print and mail nearly 200,000 early ballots to individuals who had not legally requested the ballots, despite the fact that Secretary of State Katie Hobbs told Fontes it was a violation of state law.” He also opened emergency vote centers in all democrat voting areas in 2020. Google is making it very hard to find any of this information only showing official candidates websites even when searching for “Adrian Fontes election mistakes” I had to go through several pages of search to find these few.

https://law.justia.com/cases/arizona/supreme-court/2020/cv-20-0253-ap-el.html

County Recorder Adrian Fontes Disrespects the Law and Voters

I fully support the republican candidates for Arizona offices anyone claiming to be republicans against them are liars. In particular I support Kari Lake as Governor, Mark Fincham as Secretary of State and Abe Hamadeh as Attorney General, Kimberly Yee State Treasurer and Tom Horne as Superintendent of Public Instruction. I vehemently oppose their democrat opponents who have been running lying ads against the big 3.

Who’s responsable for AIG, Wallstreet crash

I think people need to get a grip and quit threatening people who work for AIG. Congress approved the bonuses and with the help of the liberal media is trying to pass the blame on AIG and others. It is Congress that as passed these massive spending bills with out even reading them that is the problem!

If you want to punish someone for our current problems then you should have voted the Democrats out of office and not elected Obama last fall. The Democrats have controlled Congress for the last two years. Since it is too late for that now we need to take our anger out on Congress and the White House, let them know you are not happy at all with what they are doing! You need to see some of my previous posts like:

The men who brought down Wall Street Let me give you a clue, they were all Democrats!

The Sub – Prime disaster the Democrats caused this too.

Presidential Election Where I warned about some of what would happened if Obama got elected and the Democrats control both houses. Actually it has been worse than I imagined..

Ann Coulter lays it out that Wall Street is Democrat territory, these big bankers are NOT
Republicans or conservatives. On second though maybe we should punish them too.

Gordon Gekko is a Democrat

The men who brought down Wall Street…

Here is a quick look into 3 former Fannie Mae executives who have brought down Wall Street.

Franklin Raines was a Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Fannie Mae. Raines was forced to retire from his position with Fannie Mae when auditing discovered severe irregularities in Fannie Mae’s accounting activities. At the time of his departure The Wall Street Journal noted, ‘

Raines, who long defended the company’s accounting despite mounting evidence that it wasn’t proper, issued a statement late Tuesday conceding that ‘mistakes were made’ and saying he would assume responsibility as he had earlier promised. News reports indicate the company was under growing pressure from regulators to shake up its management in the wake of findings that the company’s books ran afoul of generally accepted accounting principles for four years.’ Fannie Mae had to reduce its surplus by $9 billion.

Raines left with a ‘golden parachute valued at $240 Million in benefits’. The Government filed suit against Raines when the depth of the accounting scandal became clear. http://housingdoom.com/2006/12/18/fannie-charges/

. The Government noted, ‘The 101 charges reveal how the individuals improperly manipulated earnings to maximize their bonuses, while knowingly neglecting accounting systems and internal controls, misapplying over twenty accounting principles and misleading the regulator and the public.

The Notice explains how they submitted six years of misleading and inaccurate accounting statements and inaccurate capital reports that enabled them to grow Fannie Mae in an unsafe and unsound manner.’ These charges were made in 2006. The Court ordered Raines to return $50 Million Dollars he received in bonuses based on the miss-stated Fannie Mae pofits.

Tim Howard – Was the Chief Financial Officer of Fannie Mae. Howard ‘was a strong internal proponent of using accounting strategies that would ensure a ‘stable pattern of earnings’ at Fannie. In everyday English – he was cooking the books. The Government Investigation determined that, ‘Chief Financial Officer, Tim Howard, failed to provide adequate oversight to key control and reporting functions within Fannie Mae,’

On June 16, 2006, Rep. Richard Baker, R-La., asked the Justice Department to investigate his allegations that two former Fannie Mae executives lied to Congress in October 2004 when they denied manipulating the mortgage-finance giant’s income statement to achieve management pay bonuses.

Investigations by federal regulators and the company’s board of directors since concluded that management did manipulate 1998 earnings to trigger bonuses. Raines and Howard resigned under pressure in late 2004. Howard’s Golden Parachute was estimated at $20 Million!

Jim Johnson – A former executive at Lehman Brothers and who was later forced from his position as Fannie Mae CEO. A look at the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight’s May 2006 report on mismanagement and corruption inside Fannie Mae, and you’ll see some interesting things about Johnson. Investigators found that Fannie Mae had hidden a substantial amount of Johnson’s 1998 compensation from the public, reporting that it was between $6 million and $7 million when it fact it
was $21 million.’ Johnson is currently under investigation for taking illegal loans from Countrywide while serving as CEO of Fannie Mae. Johnson’s Golden Parachute was estimated at $28 Million.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

FRANKLIN RAINES? Raines works for the Obama Campaign as Chief Economic
Advisor

TIM HOWARD? Howard is also a Chief Economic Advisor to Obama

JIM JOHNSON? Johnson hired as a Senior Obama Finance Advisor and was selected to run Obama’s Vice Presidential Search Committee

IF OBAMA PLANS ON CLEANING UP THE MESS —- HIS ADVISORS HAVE THE EXPERTISE – SINCE THEY MADE THE MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE!

SO, THE QUESTION YOU NEED TO ASK YOURSELF IS:
Would you trust the men who tore Wall Street down
to build the New Wall Street?????

The Sub – Prime disaster

If Obama gets elected and the socialist Democrats control both houses this country is doomed.. The Democrats are responsible for the current mess, not Bush other than he signed their bills instead of vetoing them. Barny Frank and Chris Dodd wrote the laws that “encouraged” banks and Fanny May and Freddie Mac to increase sub prime loans to people who could not afford houses. Those two government sponsored entities also gave large campaign contributions to the Democrats and gave several democrat congressmen including Frank and Dodd very low to no interest million dollar loans. Fudged their books so their CEO’s got huge bonuses, the chairmen James A. Johnson and Franklin D. Raines of Franny May got millions in illegal bonuses and now are on Obama’s advisory community and very likely will be given cabinet positions. Obama as a “community organizer” pressured banks to give sub prime loans to people who couldn’t afford to buy a house. You should look in to how Obama got his house and the Chicago politics that got him in to office in the first place.

It was the Clinton Administration, the Democrats, especially Barney Frank and Chris Dodd and Barack Obama’s own economic advisor, Frank Raines who are most responsible for this mess. All are Democrats.

McCain Says S.E.C. Chairman Should Be Fired

McCain warned of this two years ago


SubPrime
“type of loan that is offered at a rate above prime to individuals who do not qualify for prime rate loans. Quite often, sub prime borrowers are often turned away from traditional lenders because of their low credit ratings or other factors that suggest that they have a reasonable chance of defaulting on the debt repayment.
Sub prime loans tend to have a higher interest rate than the prime rate offered on traditional loans. The additional percentage points of interest often translate to tens of thousands of dollars worth of additional interest payments over the life of a longer term loan.”

The same people who caused this problem are now writing the bill to “fix it”… Speaker Pelosi was blaming Bush for this, but if you notice since the Democrats have taken control of Congress gas and about everything else has gone up, and the stock market has gone to hell. My 401K is now worth less than what I’ve put into it. She also said Bush had squandered the surplus from the Clinton years. The only reason there was a surplus was because the Republicans were elected to stop them from passing national health care and other stupid ideas. The surplus was a lie anyway we still had a deficit and the only spending Clinton cut was defence which with his other policies was directly the cause of 9/11. Which wiped out any “surplus” we had. The economy was going into a recession at the end of the Clinton years because of the large tax increases he instituted took some time to take effect. The Democrats at the time accused Bush when he was running for his first term of “talking down the economy”. They have done nothing but talk down the economy the entire time he has been in office. If Bush has any failings it is he has gone along with too much of the Democrats agenda. He let Ted Kennedy write the Education bill and then they blamed Bush for it’s failings.. No matter what Bush has done the Democrats and their friends in the liberal media have criticized it.
The reason we are loosing all our companies is because thanks to the Democrats we have the highest corporate tax rate of any industrial country in the world. We are one of the few countries that has a Capital Gains tax.
Our energy costs are going though the roof because the Democrats have stopped every effort to develop the resources God blessed this country with for us to use. We have gone from importing 40% of our oil to 60% of our oil. For all of their complaining you’d think we get all of it from the middle east. We actually get most of our imported oil from Canada and Mexico. Most of our current problems are directly related to our rising energy costs and the devaluating of the dollar because of our ever growing debt.
If you don’t believe what I’m saying you need to watch Glenn Beck on CNN, he’s LDS and tells it like it is. I’d also recommend listening to Sean Hannidy’s radio show and maybe Rush. Get an education on the issues and don’t listen to the BS in the news papers, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC ect..
We need to get back to the limited Constitution government we should have instead of the bloated vastly over grown increasingly socialist government we have now.

Scott,

super highway, and I’m urging every member of our team to
watch his report that literally blows the lid off suggestions
that this is all “scare tactics” and “myths.”

++ Sound the Alarm with Grassfire

Scott, we can’t count on most media outlets or elected
officials to tell us the truth about this very real and
growing threat to our nation’s sovereignty and security.

Over the next week, I’d like to add an additional 25,000
citizen petitions to our total–pushing us past the quarter-

The NAU and NAFTA Super highway isn’t hype, or myth as many suggest.
This is a carefully coordinated plan being executed under the noses
of unsuspecting American citizens, and it is up to you and I to
start sounding the alarm!

As always, thank you for standing with Grassfire.

Energy Independence and other issues.

The reason you are paying over $4 a gallon for gas and our other energy costs are going through the roof is Congress! It isn’t George Bush’s fault, it is no coincidence that since the liberal Democrats took over both the House and Senate that our gas prices have almost doubled since. Also our economy has been going down because they have been down taking it down since Bush was elected president and they accused him of talking down the economy when he pointed out the problems cause by 8 years of the Clintons and the largest tax increase in history they brought us when he was running for office.
If you think the economy is bad now elect Obama and see what happens.. From what I hear from him “change” is to raise the taxes on everything! If you are barely getting by now wait until he raises taxes on energy, income, social security, medicare and then passes socialized medical care. It will totally collapse our economy. The reason medical care is so expensive is government has mandated hospitals give treatment to everyone who can’t or don’t want to pay for it, including millions of illegals which has about bankrupted the emergency rooms here in Arizona and forced the closing of a couple of them. They mandate what doctors will get for medicare which isn’t enough. This forces doctors and hospitals to pass on these unmet expenses to us in order to stay in business. My 90 year old grand parents just had to be moved out of the long term hospital care because the hospital wasn’t getting enough from medicare to keep the unit open and was loosing millions of dollars a year. There isn’t ONE damn thing the federal government does right or well and you want to put them in charge of your medical care??? Look what they have done with social insecurity and medicare! There isn’t anything the government can give you that they didn’t take away from you or someone else in the first place and the vast majority of people get back far less than is taken from them. There isn’t the constitutional authority to do most of what they are doing in the first place and the things they should be doing like protecting our boarders they are not doing.
The only people who pay taxes are the end consumer of the product or service that is taxed. If you raise the taxes on the “evil oil companies” they have to pass on the increased cost of business to the people who buy their products. If they didn’t they would eventually go out of business. You can not sell products for what they cost to make or less and make a profit that keeps your business operating. If you have a 401K or other retirement or investing plan you own a portion of oil and other business, if the business in your portfolio aren’t making a profit, neither are you on your investments. Anything government does to affect their profits affects YOU! If you think you are under taxed you are an idiot.

Back to energy, this is what I started to write about (I could rant about the problems with our government all day..) This is an excerpt from Glenn Beck’s website that was in his email news letter tonight. Glenn is about the only one on TV (CNN afternoons) that is telling it like it is. I don’t care for his radio show much but you HAVE TO WATCH HIS TV SHOW!! Thank God for PVR’s (hard drive based VCR with out the Video tape, I do have full time 48+ hour job) He is talking to Representative Chris Cannon from Utah’s 3rd congressional district.

=======================================================

Glenn Beck: Oil shale the answer?

http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/196/11464/

“GLENN: All right. So what is the — your bill takes all of the burden out of congress and puts it on the President’s desk?

CONGRESSMAN CANNON: Well, yeah. He is the executive and what it does is it gives him the ability to cut through seven years and make that seven weeks and so you sit down and you say, what do we need to do to protect the environment and what’s the process we’re going to use. And there are various processes that are very different and they are going to have different constraints. But then you give the President the authority to come to a conclusion and give a permit in a short time and then you monitor, see what’s going on. You may have to adjust that permit over time but at least you get people producing oil.
” ” “..

GLENN: Yet the will in congress is not. I’ve got a guy here who’s been waiting for a while to talk on the air and I’m going to put him on the air. His question is don’t you think that congress is intentionally trying to sabotage our economy for the election. Give me a reason here, Chris, why congress is doing the things that they’re doing. Why are they doing this? This is not in our economic long-term health by any stretch of the imagination to keep us shackled to terror states.

CONGRESSMAN CANNON: Yes, Saudi Arabia funding Al-Qaeda, Iran funding Hezbollah, Hamas. Human events had an article two weeks ago about an Iranian funded terrorist camp in the Venezuela. You know, we’re paying these people to undermine our interests and we’re propping up a —

GLENN: So what is stopping the congress? What is the motivation of congress to not free our hands?

CONGRESSMAN CANNON: Well, if you look at the numbers, they’re fascinating. The bulk of Republicans will vote to drill in ANWR, to drill in the continent she will, to drill in the Midwest to drill for shale. About 90%, in some cases a little more, a little less of Democrats vote against that and with the reps cans who vote against this and the Democrats who vote against this, we’ve not been able to get those things passed. We passed the right — there’s a prohibition against drilling in the Alaskan national wildlife preserve but we have to overcome what’s positive law. We passed that in the House a couple of times and the Senate actually passed it as well but the times we passed it in the House and the Senate didn’t pass it, then we had problems with a potential candidate being the critical vote there. So we have to get — the American people have got to express themselves on this issue and we’re about to put up a website called dollargas.us. I think it’s up yet but we want the American people to be saying we want a dollar, a dollar and a quarter gas. That’s where it ought to be. And if we were producing our own gas, our own oil out of our own resource here in America, one, we would have cheaper gas. And two, we wouldn’t be funding our enemies.

GLENN: Chris Cannon from the great state of Utah. Thank you very much. We’ll look at the bill. What is the bill number?

CONGRESSMAN CANNON: Oh, it’s — I think it’s 6811, but I apologize.”
