Cut most of the Dept of Education.

Cut most of the Dept of Agriculture and all of the support for ethanol fuels and subsidies to farmers.

Cut most of Dept of Energy and EPA.

Cut most of Dept of Transportation.

Repeal Obamacare entirely and aggressively prosecute Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security fraud (which requires Tort reform).

Aggressively prosecute Housing and Urban Development fraud (which requires Tort reform.)

Aggressively reform military /DOD procurement and prosecute fraud. Eliminate “black” or hidden operational budgets for military/DOD/intelligence. (Note in 2001, Sec of Defense Rumsfeld announced $2.3 Trillion was lost/gone missing by the DOD, an amount equal to the entire tax revenue of the USA in that year.)

Eliminate the CIA and NSA and several other clandestine and secret agencies. Merge any necessary functions into a reformed FBI.

Repeal the Administrative Procedures Act, which will remove the regulatory/legislative authority of federal agencies, which was unconstitutionally delegated from the Congress to the Executive branch by the Act, which will reduce the size of the federal bureaucracy and reduce the huge cost of regulatory compliance paid by the private sector.

Build the border wall, enforce immigration laws on aliens and corporations, and deport illegal aliens immediately when found (saves over $100 billion per year, Robt Recter at Heritage estimates amnesty for illegal aliens “would cost taxpayers at least $2.6 Trillion.” http://www.heritage.org/…/amnesty-will-cost-us… (For example, specifically, in 2010 dollars, the lifetime costs of Social Security benefits alone to beneficiaries of Obama’s amnesty would be about $1.3 trillion.)

Convert most federal agencies into agencies to advise the states, rather than to administer and regulate federal programs.  A member of Congress is responsible for  keeping their constituent’s money at home, not to bring home the bacon from Washington, D.C., much less supranational agencies like the EU.  

Outlaw secrecy and spying by the federal government except in confirmed cases of need for national defense.

Open up government controlled lands to free market exploration and development of natural resources, to restore US strategic stockpiles and make US energy independent and an exporter of energy, which will in turn generate license and royalty revenues and tax revenue to the government. Return most federal lands (except military bases) to the states.  The federal government unconstitutionally controls most of the land and resources in the US and the government is generating very little benefit to citizens from this control.

Close almost all US military bases overseas and bring home U.S. military people except those protecting US Embassies and Consulates.

Eliminate and outlaw the sale or gift of U.S. weapons, military technology and mercenary armed forces, training, weapons and funding by government, corporations or individuals to other nations except in cases of declared war.

“From hiring Eric Holder to fight the Trump Administration, to filing lawsuits to stop federal law enforcement, to signing legislation to make California a Sanctuary State, Governor Jerry Brown, Attorney General Xavier Becerra, and the Democrats that run California have focused an enormous amount of taxpayer resources on people who are not California citizens. It would be one thing to do all that if California had no problems of its own. That, of course, is hardly the case.”

Tolerance and Apathy are the last virtues of a dying society.  If you will not fight to preserve the society that your ancestors have built for you, then your society will fail and will pass away, taken over by another.  Bring the defense back to defend the homeland.  It does not matter who said it.

California’s Governor Jerry Brown signed multiple laws making California an illegal sanctuary state for illegal aliens, including Senate Bills 54, 29, 68, 156, 257 and Assembly Bills 21, 291, 299, 343, 450, 699. American and especially California citizens now know on which side are California’s politicians and government, and it is not the side of citizens nor the law.

In Los Angeles, 95% of outstanding warrants for homicide were for illegal aliens. Los Angeles city officials revealed their sanctuary legal defense fund has more than $7 million, seven times that of Chicago’s fund. Nationwide, illegal aliens are 3 times as likely to be convicted of murder as members of the general population.  In Florida, 40% of all murder convictions were illegal aliens. At various times, 250,000 illegal aliens were serving murder sentences nationwide. ICE reported that illegal aliens released by Homeland Security during the Obama administration accounted for 64,000 crimes, including assault, kidnapping and homicide. Illegal aliens accounted for nearly 75% of federal drug sentences in 2014.  Yet Washington D.C. has promised to go ‘beyond sanctuary’ city status, using taxpayer funds to actively oppose a crackdown on illegal aliens.

“Did you know billions of your tax dollars have gone to and are going to Pakistan in the form of nuclear blackmail?”(4)  It’s a form of the Islamic Jizya tax, an extortion, blackmail, a protection racket, which Thomas Jefferson et al formed the US Navy to stop.

Another scenario for a nuclear North Korea is the Pakistani model; give us billions now  or else we will be forced to sell nuclear weapons to unsavory characters.  We give Pakistan tens of billions each year as direct aid or for services billed, theoretically to prevent that from happening.  Kim wants some U.S. money too.  That is what his saber rattling is all about.

“As NK perfects their thermonuclear bomb and missile technologies, they will begin selling them to the highest bidders.  It will be their cash crop and they will make billions.  They will be especially delighted to be able to make sales to countries that hate the US.” (3)

We do that with Pakistan so why not with North Korea is his thinking (even though we know instances of Pakistan selling nuclear technology, and even though we know instances of North Korea selling its technologies.)  Not at all irrational on the part of Kim.  And, to reinforce that thinking, look what Obama and Hillary did to Gadahfi (and laughed about it “we came, we saw, and he died”  ….cackle, cackle).  Gadahfi gave up his nuclear program under President Bush.  Then Hillary Clinton, Obama, France and other NATO actors killed Gadahfi in a “humanitarian” military action that has left Libya in shambles and a hot bed for terrorists.   The lesson for tin-pot dictators is clear:  If they build, test and hold nuclear weapons, they are guaranteed a seat at the table with equal negotiating power as the US.  And there sits Iran and Pakistan as reminders.

I say this is incompetence by the U.S.  It is like paying the Mafia for protection in your neighborhood, and then when another Mafia in another neighborhood gives up their protection racket, you kill them.   On our part, it is utter irrationality, immorality and hypocrisy all rolled up into one package.

The two cultural/legal positions of the west and Islam are mutually exclusive and incompatible: freedom (of a sort) in the west versus the doctrinal feudal subjugation of Islam.  I am not blaming America first.  The Islamic position of world domination, like the communist position before it, is intolerable.  But here I only deal with the U.S. side of that tautology.

I mostly agree with President Teddy Roosevelt’s approach from 1903: “Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.” The American nation should speak softly, and meanwhile build and keep at a pitch of the highest training and preparedness a thoroughly efficient military.  But we must clean up our own act first.

In other words, get out and stay out of other countries (as our nation’s founders advised and practiced.)  End the deadly neo-con, Machiavellian regime change wars and occupations now underway for 3 decades.  Don’t sell or give away weapons, ammunition, military technology or services and don’t allow corporations to do so.  Don’t train – and don’t allow universities, corporations and citizens to train – other nations in our military technologies.  Keep the enemy guessing.  Diplomatically, let the enemy know in absolutely certain terms, that if nuclear weapons are used by them or their proxies or their customers, that we will annihilate them and then annihilate their proxies and customers.  That is the big stick we should talk about softly but in certain and non-negotiable terms.  And then our defense is to maintain thorough knowledge of their activities and capabilities and to maintain our readiness to annihilate them.  No extortion payments will be made to them; that is a problem for their Koranic doctrine which requires tax to be paid to them if they allow us to be non-Muslim.  But, just as Islam needs reform, we must clean up our own very dirty act.

I am suggesting more or less the same strategy President Reagan implemented against the Soviet Union.  We should have the same “No Mafia, no extortion” strategy for all Islamic nations, North Korea, China, Pakistan and any bad actors.  That strategy is totally different from the Kissinger, Brzezinski, CFR-based neo-con regime change American empire.  I believe that Russia could be a partner with us in this strategy.

I believe the EU/NATO is already lost to Islam again, except for Poland, Hungary and Czech.  The UK is in the balance now.   After many hundreds of years of wars, western Europeans no longer have the will to fight for their freedom, as happened in Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire, after the plagues and the “Dark Ages,” when Islam conquered most of Europe.  That was before the Crusaders ran the Islamists out of Europe.

It has been known since the Roman Empire that permanently extending military control to distant nations eventually results in collapse of the controlling power.   Today, the U.S. with its hundreds of bases in foreign nations is a perfect example of just such a collapsing empire, growing demise of its currency, and increased apathy, tolerance, decadence and depravity.

The biggest problem for America is that our defense industries are dependent on export of our weapons and purchase of weapons, parts, support, services, and mercenaries, covert and overt.  That is the foundation of the “deep state.”  Those companies and their stakeholders must take a big hit, and they will not go without a fight.  But so far no one is willing to drain that swamp.  President Trump is still fighting their neo-con wars.

Big money and lobbying goes into Congress, candidates, PACS and political party coffers to maintain and grow this massive U.S. “defense” industry, much of it “dark,” about which they cannot or will not tell Americans.   Take for example, the $2.3 trillion lost/missing/”untracked” by the D.O.D., which was announced the week before 9-11-2001 by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. The records for that were demolished and the  people investigating it were killed at the Pentagon and FBI/NSA headquarters at New York’s World Trade Center Building 7 on 9-11-2001.

To put that “lost” $2.3 Trillion in perspective:

In other words, Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld announced the disappearance of an amount of money equal to the entire federal budget at that time, more than the total of U.S. tax revenues, 50% of outstanding U.S. federal debt, and 20% of U.S. GDP … gone missing.

And then it was all forgotten in the fog of G.W. Bush’s Iraq War.

This is the same insanity that accelerated the Vietnam War during the administrations of President Lyndon Johnson and President Richard Nixon, and the same insanity that carried on the regime change wars of the Administrations of President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama.  But our politicians and media call Kim irrational.

Our nation must start on our own path of recovery by stopping the sale of weapons, training, technology to other nations and, of course, we must stop the use of our own weapons, military, and clandestine and mercenary forces, by us or our proxies in other nations.  We have no leg to stand on, no high ground, no moral defense until we end our own deadly hypocrisy.

“It’s one, two, three what are we fighting for?  Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,” said one of the themes of the Vietnam anti-war movement by Country Joe and the Fish. (4)

A record $135 billion a year is the cost for illegal immigration, average $8,075 per alien, $25,000 in NY, driven by free medical care, education and a huge law enforcement bill, according to the the most authoritative report on the issue yet. Pro-illegal immigration advocates claim that the aliens pay significant off-setting taxes back to federal, state and local treasuries, but the Federation for American Immigration Reform report tallied just $19 billion, making the final hit to taxpayers about $116 billion.

Atmospheric scientists Dr. Gerhard Kramm, Dr. Ralph Dlugi, and Dr. Nicole Mölders have just published a paper in the journal Natural Science that exposes the shortcomings of greenhouse effect. They conclude that this “thought experiment” is “based on physically irrelevant assumptions and its results considerably disagree with observations.”

This letter to the UN’s Special Advisor on Genocide will end any remaining misguided thoughts you might have about blaming America first in the war on terror. Well referenced.

Why isn’t the Special Prosecutor investigating the Clinton Foundation? The people want to know.  The law on point here is contained in 11 CFR 110.20.   Section (b) reads:

Contributions and donations by foreign nationals in connection with elections. A foreign national shall not, directly or indirectly, make a contribution or a donation of money or other thing of value, or expressly or impliedly promise to make a contribution or a donation, in connection with any Federal, State, or local election.
