So, how exactly, does that work? I smell a week old dead fish here.
In yet another weird twist of "legal obfuscation and miss-direction" the California state's A.G. has filed a law suit against the Trump Administration to include in the 2020 Census a question requiring illegal aliens to declare whether they're in the country illegally, or not.
This type of mental gymnastics is revealing a pattern for liberal/socialists. Over the last administration's two terms, the liberal/socialists have apparently established sufficient numbers of liberal/socialist leaning judges in courts all across the country to use as their legal "stop gap go to" for countering any actions by the unexpected win by conservatives in the last election.
If you'll recall, it started with the judge in Hawaii ruling that putting a halt on allowing foreigners in to the country by Pres. Trump was illegal. And there have been a series of such similar type rulings on various other attempts for the new conservative administration to implement changes to policies deemed potentially threatening to American citizens.
This fits perfectly with the ideology of blurring the lines of black & white when it comes to long established legal issues which have been clear for centuries in America. It's obvious to me that this is yet another strategy by leftist/socialists to use key wording and concept manipulation to slowly, but steadily, blur the lines of today's youth who know very little to nothing about the country's history or concept regarding civics because it's not been taught in public schools for decades now.
If this trend continues for much longer, we will, I believe, see the country break out into civil war as I've been saying for years now. Remember, my favorite saying is this... "If there's no rule of law, there's no rules at all!"

The Failure of Public School Discipline Policies
As a former public school teacher, who, for the last six years of his 30 year career teaching middle-school Science, I experienced first hand the frustration of having any and all control taken away from my classroom when it came to disruptive student behavior.
All we were allowed to do was send them to the office for being dealt with by the Vice Principle most of the time. Because the trend of removing any form of corporal punishment was stripped from the discipline policies of public schools starting around the time I entered to profession in the late '70s, the behavior noticeably worsened over the years.
What was the new policy? It started out with detention; students sitting in a designated room at the end of the school day for a specific period of time. I, on occasion, was the teacher serving duty in such rooms, as much of the staff were required to do. In essence, this was merely a delay in being able, for those incorrigible students who most likely never had a father figure in their upbringing, to hang out with their friends after school.
Many of them were repeat offenders. Over time this policy was dropped because it failed to reduce the frequency and quantity of disruptions by those students who, because they were smart enough to understand there really were no consequences to the actions, knew they were in control and that misbehavior was not actually a threat to them. If they ever were suspended, or expelled, they considered it a release from the place where they were basically a prisoner from being able to spend time being productive; dealing drugs with their friends, extorting someone for money, stealing cars, etc.
Now, details are coming out about the Parkland, FL high school student who was one of these types; orphaned, fostered into another home, tossed around by the school district and his behavior record disguised to "hopefully" rehabilitate him with "restorative justice" policies rather than some tough love he needed along with the kind of counseling services he obviously needed. Then too, he may, at that point, have been beyond help. But, it ended in the loss of 17 innocent lives - three being staff members of the school - and the students and media go after the tool he used to commit the atrocity.
Yea, that'll solve the problem of these type students amidst our youth. His defense lawyer says he's a broken human being... Nooooooo, ya think? Here we go with the bleeding liberal heart angle that created the problem in the first place.

Proof Leftists Are Striving to Sabotage America
The cartoon above makes a statement which is more true than many who saw it a few months ago realized. Institutions of higher learning have now become dominantly centers for liberalism. No doubt readers have seen example after example recently of how this is so. But this story takes the cake!
In an unprecedented move for any former President, Barrack Huessain O. not only has established the Organizing for Action group to recruit and train acolytes of Saul Alynski, he's also now teaching a class on how to impeach the man who has replaced him... President Trump!
You read that right. Don't believe me? Use this link to get the details here. (BTW... you might find what Ben Shapiro told Congress for 25 minutes recently about this very issue. A bit long for today's average attention span, but very informative.)
Still doubt it? Watch David Hogg - the new face of the anti-gun movement - in these two videos. It's clear he's speaking about a "pure democracy", not a democratic republic we have. I predict we're going to eventually learn that the leftists have been giving this kid "new king" treatment to help him promote their agenda.
If the leftists succeed, we may, sometime in the future, end up like Venezuela. After all, the tradition of Latin American revolution has been the tradition of fixing the problem of inflation; just overthrow the old form of government.

Oh Really Mr. Hogg?
Yes, folks, it seems that things haven't changed, and they never will. Our youth today have got the world by the tail, know just how to solve things, are so experienced about how the world works, and they know better than anyone else how to solve problems, that they now feel they can now claim that we adults don't know how to use a f@#king democracy, and that we're more interested in seeing those dollar signs, despite the blood spattered on their faces from those students who were killed in the latest tragedy. That's what the 17 year old survivor of the Parkland High School massacre has said to the country in his latest video posting.
Update: And then, there was his speech at the "March for Life" Saturday, March 24th.
His new found fame as the spokesman for the youth against gun violence has clearly, but sadly, gone to his head. Mr. Hogg, I would guess, most likely doesn't even know how to explain the difference between a representative republic and a democracy, because the public schools of this country haven't even taught a civics course - basic Constitutional concepts in our founding document - since the early '70s when I graduated from high school. I doubt he's ever heard the definition of how democracy works in a simple, but revealing quote; "Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for dinner."
This type of situation, where a tragic event is seized by someone who happens to be clever enough to use their skill of a combination of looks - he's a good looking young man - is tech savvy, self-assured and articulate, along with the propaganda his liberal teachers have fed him since elementary school to rise in mere weeks to national attention and following - the media is lapping this up - is precisely what I've been concerned about for years now.
He has no perspective on being concerned about protecting a family of loved ones from crazy individuals who could accomplish the same task with some other inanimate object - knife, scissors, sword, axe, grenade, bomb, etc. - that causes anyone to bleed; only himself and his peers from those terrible, horrible things that go bang, bang! No, it's got to be the tool, not the person who controls it ,and their distorted mental state. Run with the feelings, not rational, logical thinking. They don't teach critical thinking in school, even college, anymore.
It would be interesting to learn the truth about just how poorly his classmates treated this perpetrator of the massacre while he was a student among them at this school. As an experienced teacher, I can assure you that it most likely wasn't good. Of course, they'd take no responsibility, or admit any participation in, their treatment of him in any unfriendly, uncaring, or bullying way.

For the sake of comparison, let's look at another situation where loss of life was eminent, but turned out completely different:

"No News Is Good News"
BY TIM SCHMIDT - USCCA FOUNDER
|
||||
"No
news is good news."
I'm sure you've heard that
one before. The phrase,
possibly adapted from
James I of England, who
purportedly once said, "No
news is better than
evil
news," suggests that, without any
information or evidence to the
contrary, we can assume that all is
well.
That must be why the mainstream
media has uttered but a peep about
the latest school shooting out of St.
Mary's County, Maryland.
According to TheMaven.net, "The
school resource officer on duty at
Great Mills High School engaged the
shooter and stopped the threat"
Tuesday morning, leaving the 17-year-
old gunman dead.
St. Mary's County Sheriff Tim
Cameron said that "School Resource
Officer Deputy First Class Blaine
Gaskill immediately responded and
engaged the
shooter," identified by
authorities as Austin Wyatt Rollins.
Cameron noted that "only seconds —
'less than a minute'
— elapsed
between the time when the first shot
rang out, and when
Deputy Gaskill
eliminated the threat to other students
in the hallway."
Deputy Gaskill eliminated the threat to
other students in the hallway. "Rollins
killed one student — a 16-year- old
female — and injured a 14-year-
old male before Gaskill was able to
stop the threat.
Jay Weber of The Jay Weber Show
noted on Wednesday that this story
isn't getting "nearly the coverage
it
deserves or it should" and said he
couldn't even "assume that all
listeners
have even heard
about this story." He
weighed in on why the media hasn't
jumped to
share this news out of
Maryland: "It's an in-your-face
response to the
anti-gun ninnies who
say armed guards in schools or trained
staffers
carrying in schools don't make
the schools safer.
They sure as heck
do. The Maryland story proves it
again."
So no news is good news — except in
the media. In the media, good news,
especially that involving firearms, is
NO news, because it doesn't
further a
decidedly anti-gun agenda.
Our very own Mark Walters once said
something on his Armed American
Radio show that I wrote down and
saved, and I think it's pretty fitting
here:
"The media controls the narrative …
not only by
what they tell us, but —
more importantly — by what they
don't.
By what they leave out. By what they
don't want you to know."
Indeed. That being said, here's what
the media doesn't want you to know
about what happened in Maryland (I'm
not sure who the original author of
this
list is, but it's too good not to share):
What DIDN'T stop Austin Wyatt
Rollins:
-Maryland's "assault weapons" ban -Maryland's 10-round magazine limit -Maryland's universal background
check requirement
-Maryland's law requiring an
exhaustive application process to
obtain a permit to purchase a handgun
-Maryland's law prohibiting purchase
of more than one firearm per month
-Maryland's law requiring handgun
registration
-Maryland's law requiring licensing of
handgun owners
-Maryland's extremely limited approval
of concealed carry permits
-Maryland's refusal to honor any
concealed carry permit from another
state
-Federal law prohibiting handgun
purchases for people under 21
-Laws against carrying without a
permit
-Gun-free zone laws -Laws against discharging a firearm in
public
-Laws against attempted murder What DID stop Austin Wyatt Rollins: -An armed person at the scene who
engaged the shooter in less than a
minute

Breaking Apart the Fabric of America
As a young boy - I was the youngest of four boys in my family - growing up in the late '50s & through the '60s I cherished any and every opportunity to spend time with my father. Time with him was sparse because he encountered difficulties of generating sufficient income to feed, clothe, and house us and almost always seemed to be away from home working. I recall vividly how my next older brother and I had to beg him for weeks to go on a one night camping experience not that far from our home we rented.
One summer was especially difficult in that we had to endure a drought of funds and resorted to growing a large vegetable garden to survive until he could land a job. I never knew how my mom did it, but I learned there were more ways to prepare zucchini than I ever imagined. After that experience, I never wanted to eat another piece of that vegetable ever again! Despite those circumstances there were still brief moments where I clearly learned of his love for us all, and I admired his efforts to provide for us. It gave me a good foundation by which to raise my own two daughters who have become solid, contributing adults now to our very fragile society.
But the more important, and bigger issue, this life experience taught me was that I was blessed with growing up with a father figure in my life, unlike many of the elementary students I taught later as an adult. My career as a teacher crystallized in my mind just how significant this lack of a father can be in impacting the development of boys. Every year when the parent/teacher conferencing came around the number of families that had a biological father in the home decreased ever so slightly.
Now, recent research has confirmed what I've long suspected and feared; the goal of breaking apart the fabric of the cohesiveness of the American society has been a long, but successful endeavor of those force interested in taking down the American culture in order to conquer it; not by the typical means of warfare, but from within through the gradual blurring of our moral values. I refer my readers to a prior post here on my blog which lists the 45 goals of the communist party in America to understand why I say this.(Which items in this list do you think have contributed to an increase in single parent households?)
What has confirmed my personal suspicions? Recently Tucker Carlson's show has taken on the issue of the impact of fatherless boys in our country. I urge my readers to use the links below to view the series on this topic and determine for yourself just how significant this has been on our culture. For anyone who disputes any of the points made here, fine, you have a right to your own opinion, but you don't have a right to your own facts.
Reminder: Want to better understand why our youth of today don't understand why what's going on in the arena of politics is extremely dangerous to their future? Watch this brief interview all the way through with Richard Dryfus. To anyone with half a brain it will make perfect sense.

That's An Understatement!
Upon opening and reading the first two paragraphs of today's - 3/20/18 - email intro. from The Morning Wire, my reaction was essentially a more crude expression to this posts title, which commonly uses a vulgar reference to Sherlock. I'll let you fill in the first two words.
Anyway, here's what it said:
Now, with the legislative session over, the King County Democrats are becoming all the more frustrated that Gov. Inslee's carbon tax failed to become law this session and are beginning to attack one another for the way their plans are turning out for the City Council passing a "head tax" and the reaction people of Seattle are giving them for funding government funded heroin dens.
Anyway, here's what it said:
The 2018 legislative session was one of the more productive in recent memory, driven in significant part by the leadership of the Senate Democrats. As one legislator told me last week, "There was some significant pent up demand there."The first sentence's opening phrase, correctly interpreted actually means; "The 2018 legislative session nearly got us Democrats the opportunity to get a state income tax passed, but the public's opposition to it was too strong." The last phrase of that first sentence correctly interpreted actually says; "... driven by the Senate Democrats' lust for sucking the people's life blood out of them." And, if there was any kind of "pent up demand", it came from their desire to have someone like Shama Sawant become their leader and enforce greater control over every tax payer's livelihood, because more is never enough for them.
This week, we're seeing some of the session tension blow off, while some other tension builds among the King County Democrats.
Now, with the legislative session over, the King County Democrats are becoming all the more frustrated that Gov. Inslee's carbon tax failed to become law this session and are beginning to attack one another for the way their plans are turning out for the City Council passing a "head tax" and the reaction people of Seattle are giving them for funding government funded heroin dens.
