In foreign policy, Donald Trump is the powerful man Barack Obama never could be
The New Green Deal. Be. Very. Afraid.
Previously, this column devoted itself to our president's triumphs; but in light of the struggles he faces with the Democrat Congress, this issue will focus on one particular struggle: the "Green New Deal,” a concept coined by journalist Thomas L. Friedman in 2007 (Wikipedia), implemented to some degree with President Obama’s stimulus package (remember Solyndra?), dismantled to a great degree by President Trump’s anti-regulation policy, and now brought back with a vengeance - and new marketing spin - under the guise of HR-1’s euphemistically described “anti-corruption election policy” and the backing of self-described “Democratic Socialist”/Freida Kahlo look-alike Alexandria Octavio-Cortez.
Be. Very. Afraid. The Green New Deal (GND), in the guise of saving the world from “climate change,” calls for a sweeping restructuring of our political system into a Marxist inspired “democracy.”
According to the Green Party website (go to the GP links below; read it all), the GND has four pillars: 1) The “Economic Bill of Rights” uses gargantuan taxes to guarantee work for all, free college, free health care, the right to a living wage, housing and utilities; 2) “The Green Transition” will convert the "old, gray economy into a new, sustainable economy that is environmentally sound, economically viable and socially responsible” which is code for seizing power and giving it to GND backers; 3) “Real Financial Reform” reacts to the financial crisis of 2008 and contains some appealing elements (remember Conservatives were as angry as Occupy Wall Street about the corruption). But it also includes breaking up, then restructuring, large banks and the Fed, putting them under the Treasury Department, regulating derivatives, and supporting “public owned non-profit banks”. Finally 4) “A Functioning Democracy,” the most devious pillar, requires the overhaul of the election system as described in HR-1. This includes promoting vote harvesting, statehood for the left-leaning District of Columbia, voting by felons and illegals, as well as destroying the electoral college (so that the coasts can dominate the deplorable in the center of the country.) In fact, item #4 contains one chilling item after another - too many to list.
“Broadly, the proposals for a Green New Deal echo the recommendations of United Nations organizations…of global NGOs, and …monetary accords, especially as these relate to reforms to measurement of fundamental ecosystem risk and financial liabilities (Wikipedia).” In order words, it supports a one world order and ultimately contributes to an international power class.
Compare the Green New Deal to the tenets of Marxism. Explaining how the proletariat came into existence thanks to the Industrial Revolution, Marx justifies the elimination of private property and competition: “The slave is outside competition; the proletarian is in it and experiences all its vagaries….Thus, the slave can have a better existence than the proletarian…The slave frees himself when….he abolishes only the relation of slavery and thereby becomes a proletarian; the proletarian can free himself only by abolishing private property.” Explaining what big business and big government have in common, Marx says: “The very qualities of big industry which…produce misery and crises are those which, in a different form of society, will abolish this misery and these catastrophic [economic] depressions.”
Simply put, working people are free (and all people not in the power class are working people) only when they let the government take full control. Of everything. Workers appear to lead better lives than slaves while enjoying the “benefits of slavery:” no competition or property. The Green New Deal eliminates competition and restricts personal property; it destroys our ability to govern ourselves and establishes a new ruling class. The GND is straight up Marxism.
Judge said the California law banning magazines over 10 rounds was "turning the Constitution upside down."
“Because current law sets an easily met standard for "credible fear," refugees fleeing actual persecution and violence are bogged down in the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services backlog, which has swelled more than 1900 percent since the end of the 2012 fiscal year. (WhiteHouse.gov) This means that the Obama Administration set the precedent of setting asylum seekers free with the frankly ridiculous directive to return for court dates.
The Left labels the Trump approach as unfeeling simply because, as a law and order president, he’s instructed his departments to follow the law. The Left ignores that the Obama administration’ sometimes employed the same methods (putting illegal aliens in pens) and other times ignored the law entirely (keeping some families together, when the law requires separation.) By following the law, the President upholds his job as executive. By publicly explaining his actions, he rightly passes the buck to Congress, which refuses to create functional legislation. Additionally, if Trump instructed his departments not to follow the law (as did President Obama) he could be impeached.
The Left argues that the Wall won’t solve anything, that most illegals do utilize points of entry, that citizens along the border don’t want a wall for various reasons - including tourism, and that illegals commit crimes at a lower rate than the population. However, all news sites - even Left leaning ones - that focus on border towns which have a wall or fence say that crime in these communities dropped substantially after construction. One wonders that, if illegals don’t commit crimes and walls don’t work, how crime could’ve reduced. And, if illegals use ports of entry, how would building a wall shunt the flow of illegals to a new location?
California under Democrats, it’s tax, tax, tax — all the time. That’s not a political statement. It’s a fact.
The Green New Deal failed to pass a hurdle in the Senate when Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell pushed the vote in an effort to get Democrats on the record as well as highlight divisions among Democrats over the highly controversial bill which recommended, among other absurd notions, the elimination of cow farts. Democrats argued McConnell held the vote in order to eliminate debate or public testimony, thereby preventing Republicans from going on the record as being against “climate change.” Denouncing the motion as a “sham,” Minority Leader Chuck Schumer instructed senators to vote "present" as a show of unity. However, in doing so, Democrats appear to have distanced themselves from their comical legislation. While the bill’s failure is a victory for the president, the fact that Democrats allowed it to appear at all is most likely part of a long game strategy to please their base, similar to how Republicans during the Obama administration continuously overturned Obama-care to no effect. Interestingly, the media has relabeled the defeat as a victory, claiming it sets up “climate change” as a major issue for 2020. And cow farts along with it.
Perhaps the most surprising victory of March was Congress failing to overturn the president’s veto of his declaring the border a national emergency. Though this battle is far from over and will probably play out in the courts, the failure to override shows that, while Republicans sadly helped pass the bill in the first place, not enough of them were willing to go against the president to stop him.
These three victories show not only that President Trump understands how the political game is played but also that, compared to Democrats who support each other in bending, breaking and ignoring laws, he fights within the law. Moreover, they illustrate the unrelenting nature of his battles and the enormity of them. It’s not hard to liken him to Batman, the millionaire superhero, with an endless stream of arch-nemeses.
