A U.N. - Planned Invasion by Refugees In the U.S. Already Underway?

I know... a title like this is usually construed by most readers as "whacko" and "luney tunes". Well, just read this intro below from this link with a video interview of this lady's remarks about what she did to learn about this.

US: A Missouri woman is interviewed by radio-show host, Josh Tolley, and tells how she became involved in her state’s refugee-immigration program and how the program is far more extensive and advanced than most people realize. She describes how the UN, under the heading of Agenda 2030, is planning immigration into the US similar to what is happening in Europe. The goal is to create chaos and lay the foundation for breaking the US into smaller political units with equal UN representation – and the end of America as a sovereign nation. -GEG

Law Takes A Holiday

by Victor Davis Hanson

In the 1934 romantic movie "Death Takes a Holiday," Death assumes human form for three days, and the world turns chaotic. The same thing happens when the law goes on a vacation. Rules are unenforced or politicized. Citizens quickly lose faith in the legal system. Anarchy follows – ensuring that there can be neither prosperity nor security.

The United States is descending into such as abyss, as politics now seem to govern whether existing laws are enforced.

Sociologists in the 1980s found out that when even minor infractions were ignored – such as the breaking of windows, or vendors walking into the street to hawk wares to motorists in a traffic jam – misdemeanors then spiraled into felonies as lawbreakers become emboldened.

A federal law states that the president can by proclamation "suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate." Yet a federal judge ruled that president Trump cannot do what the law allows in temporarily suspending immigration from countries previously singled out by the Obama administration for their laxity in vetting their emigrants.

In the logic of his 43-page ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Derrick Watson seemed to strike down the travel ban based on his own subjective opinion of a president's supposedly incorrect attitudes and past statements.

Some 500 "sanctuary" cities and counties have decided for political reasons that federal immigration law does not fully apply within their jurisdictions. They have done so with impunity, believing that illegal immigration is a winning political issue given changing demography. In a way, they have already legally seceded from the union and provided other cities with a model of how to ignore any federal law they do not like.

The law states that foreign nationals cannot enter and permanently reside in the United States without going through a checkpoint and in most cases obtaining a legal visa or green card. But immigration law has been all but ignored. Or it was redefined as not committing additional crimes while otherwise violating immigration law. Then the law was effectively watered down further to allow entering and residing illegally if not committing "serious" crimes. Now, the adjective "serious" is being redefined as something that does not lead to too many deportations.

The logical end is no immigration law at all – and open borders.

There is a federal law that forbids the IRS from unfairly targeting private groups or individuals on the basis of their politics. Lois Lerner, an IRS director, did just that but faced no legal consequences.

Perhaps Lerner's exemption emboldened New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof to invite IRS employees via social media to unlawfully leak Donald Trump's tax returns. Later, someone leaked Trump's 2005 tax return to MSNBC.

There are statutes that prevent federal intelligence and investigatory agencies from leaking classified documents. No matter. For the last six months, the media has trafficked in reports that Trump is under some sort of investigation by government agencies for allegedly colluding with the Russians. That narrative is usually based on information from "unnamed sources" affiliated with the FBI, NSA or CIA. No one has been punished for such leaking.

The leakers apparently feel that prosecutors and the courts do not mind if someone's privacy is illegally violated, as long as it is the privacy of someone they all loathe, like Donald Trump.

The logic seems also to be that we need only follow the laws that we like – and assume that law enforcement must make the necessary adjustments.

At this late date, a return to legality and respect for the law might seem extremist or revolutionary. For the federal government to demand that cities follow federal law or face cutoffs in federal funds might cause rioting.

Going after federal officials who leak classified documents to reporters would make those officials martyrs.

And to warn high-ranking IRS officials that they could likely go to prison for targeting groups based on their political beliefs might earn a prosecutor an unexpected IRS audit.

There is one common denominator in all these instances of attempted legal nullification: the liberal belief that laws should "progress" to reflect the supposedly superior political agenda of the left.

And if laws don't progress? Then they can be safely ignored.

But when the law is what we say it is, or what we want it to be, there is no law. And when there is no law, there is not much left but something resembling Russia, Somalia or Venezuela.

The History of the Income Tax

Having just arrived at the final day of being required to file your tax returns this year, this is a perfect time to present some factual history about how this pariah of the working man came into being. Here's a few questions to peek your interest and use the link here to find out that history:

• Did you know that there was no income tax until the Civil War in our country?
• What did the U.S. Constitution say about taxing individuals?
• Which President naively believed the elimination of tariffs between countries would bring about world peace?
• Who was the original income tax targeting, and by what percent were they taxed in 1913?
• What move did those who were taxed make which was created by Congress?
• Which President instituted the withholding of funds for taxes from paychecks of workers?
• What federal action motivated corporations to move their industrial manufacturing to foreign countries?
• Which President said the following: "Lower rates of taxation will stimulate economic activity and so raise the levels of personal and corporate income as to yield within a few years an increased - not a reduced - flow of revenues to the federal government."

The unfortunate reality is that the vast majority of younger generations now view being taxed as just a normal part of being a U.S. citizen.

Do You Know Who I Am?

If the following true story doesn't reveal just how self-centered and privileged liberals are, then you're not paying attention. Enjoy!

Montana Restaurant.

The radio station America FM was doing one of its 'Is Anyone Listening?' bits this morning.  The first question was; Ever have a celebrity come up with the 'Do you know who I am? ' routine?'

A woman called in and said that a few years ago, while visiting her cattle rancher uncle in Billings, MT,  She had occasion to go to dinner at a restaurant  that does not take reservations.  The wait was about 45 minutes.  Many local ranchers and their wives were waiting.

Ted Turner and his ex-wife Jane Fonda came in the restaurant and wanted a table.  The hostess informed them that they'd have to wait 45 minutes.  Jane Fonda asked the hostess, 'Do you know who I am?' The hostess answered, 'Yes, but you'll have to wait 45 minutes.'

Then Jane asked if the manager was in.  When the manager came out, he asked, 'May I help you?' 'Do you know who we are?' both Ted and Jane asked.  'Yes, but these folks have been waiting, and I can't put you ahead of them.'

Then Ted asked to speak to the owner.  The owner came out, and Jane again asked, 'Do you know who I am?' The owner answered, 'Yes, I do.  Do you know who I am?  I am the owner of this restaurant and I am a Vietnam Veteran.  Not only will you not get a table ahead of my friends and neighbors who have been waiting here, But you also will not be eating in my restaurant tonight or any other night.  Good bye.'

Only in America, is this a great country or what?  To all who received this, this is a true story and the name of the steak house is:  

Sir Scott's Oasis Steakhouse

204 W. Main ,

Manhattan , MT 59741

(406) 284-6929

If you ever get there, give this fellow a sharp salute, buy a steak, and tip the waitress.  They have ten steaks on their simple menu from 32 oz. to 12 oz. Toothpicks on every table!

Keep passing this on. We should never forget our "national traitor" !!
