The Consequences of A President Harris

CBO: Medicaid Spending On Illegal Aliens Has Cost Taxpayers Over $16.2 Billion Under Open Border Czar Harris

A Borderline Election

We need to appreciate that the potential for voter fraud, the accelerated nature of accepting new citizens and a chilling border crisis are all emerging forces during a presidential election year. They have the means to alter the course of democracy, our global standing, and our shared future as Americans.

In this presidential election year, it is time to do the math.

Not the traditional math of counting electors, calculating swing states voters, or debating polling data. No. It’s time to do the math regarding the profound and stunning increase in the number of new citizens who will be eligible to vote in this year’s exercise in democracy.

According to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) the fiscal year 2022 saw one million new citizens sworn in, citing it as the highest number of naturalizations in nearly 15 years. The government agency says this number reflects the Biden Administration’s effort to address the backlog of applications that had grown during the COVID pandemic.

The FY 2023 statistics saw 878,500 new citizens participate in naturalization ceremonies that make them eligible to vote. By doing the math, we find that naturalizations in fiscal years 2022 and 2023 made up nearly a quarter of all naturalizations over the past decade.

It is as if Washington seeks to consciously create a demographic sea change as to who will now be able to go to the polls in 2024.

There is a Pew study breakdown of where these new voters are coming from.

Their report reveals that Mexico is the top country of birth for U.S. immigrants. It states that in 2022, over 10 million immigrants living in the U.S. were born there, or 23% of all immigrants. India, with the second-largest share, was far behind at 6%, followed by China came at five percent, the Philippines at four percent, and the Latin American nation of El Salvador stood at three percent.

What these various numbers mean is that the nation’s electoral base has changed over the last four years, either through a deliberate political calculation or by happenstance. For those of us who don’t believe in coincidences, it potentially represents a subtle, even unscrupulous, strategy to change the outcome on Election Day.

Then of course there is the not insignificant matter of the border crisis. How many of the illegal aliens who have crossed into the United States during recent years might be sworn in as citizens, further contributing to the election night vote tally? When viewing a report from Capitol Hill, the math is staggering: millions.

We need to appreciate that the potential for voter fraud, the accelerated nature of accepting new citizens and a chilling border crisis are all emerging forces during a presidential election year. They have the means to alter the course of democracy, our global standing, and our shared future as Americans. Our understanding starts by doing the math.

Juneteenth Versus the Demo Hate Hustlers

“I will give thanks for being born in a country where such moral progress is possible.”

EXCERPT FROM THIS ARTICLE:  They won’t mention that this federal holiday was proposed by their arch nemesis, Republican President Donald Trump, and their black salvation pretense is far from the truth.

I read an outstanding commentary this morning by Condoleezza Rice, our former secretary of state appointed by President George W. Bush in 2005. She was previously the director of the prestigious Hoover Institution. Not a single State Department appointee under the current administration rivals her intellect and leadership.

In a piece titled “Juneteenth Is Our Second Independence Day, Rice, the great-grandchild of a slave, wrote about June 19, 1865, when soldiers under orders from Republican President Abraham Lincoln “arrived in the farthest territory of the Confederate states — in Galveston Bay, Texas — bringing with them the news that slavery had been abolished.” It was, she noted, “an important step for the 250,000 people still enslaved in Texas, and one they probably didn’t believe would ever come to pass.”

She wrote of her personal experience a century later, “growing up in Birmingham, Alabama, which was then the most segregated city in the country,” and recounted: “I was eight years old when, on a Sunday morning in September 1963, the 16th Street Baptist Church was bombed. I felt the blast a few blocks away in the church where my father was the pastor. Four little girls, two of whom I knew, were killed.”

She observes: “To me, Juneteenth is a recognition of what I call America’s second founding. Despite our nation’s extraordinary founding documents about equality, this country was founded as a slave-owning state. That is our birth defect. But the words in those carefully crafted documents — written by great men who were themselves flawed human beings — ultimately lit the way toward a more perfect union.”

She concludes: “Today, just as I once did with my parents, I will celebrate Juneteenth. I will think about my ancestors and what they must have felt when they were liberated from slavery. And I will give thanks for being born in a country where such moral progress is possible. That is worth celebrating not just by black Americans but by all of us.”

Indeed. Well said.

But in the years since she was a child in Birmingham, that “moral progress” has been subjugated to the Democrat Party’s politics of hate and division.

HIGHGATE, Vt.—At dawn or dusk, Kristy Brow used to enjoy alone time walking in the woods on her 21-acre property in Highgate, Vermont, a small rural town near the U.S.–Canada border.

Lately, however, she’s cautious—she’s worried about potential encounters with illegal immigrants along the remote logging trail.

“I don’t go out by myself anymore—especially at night,” said Mrs. Brow, who runs a dog obedience business from her home.

“It’s unsettling. You can’t feel relaxed anymore,” she said. “You want to be safe in your own house and on your property.

“It’s getting bad. Sometimes, you see them on the interstate, looking for a ride.”

Mrs. Brow and her husband are both avid hunters and have deer stands set up on their property. Their game cameras often record illegal immigrants passing through.

Anti-immigration parties are winning elections and surging in polls

Rising migration across Europe, including the biggest surge in asylum seekers since a 2015-2016 migrant crisis, is fueling support for far-right and anti-immigration parties, potentially reshaping European politics for years.

Nationalist parties that champion a harder line against immigration are surging in polls and have entered governments in countries from Italy to Finland, as anxiety rises about sluggish economic growth and crises from Ukraine to the Middle East. The far right is polling strongly in the continent’s two largest countries, Germany and France.
