US

I try to keep this kind of thing off Facebook, just because I have no desire to upset friends, many of whom are liberal.  

"US" by Paul Genova 

I haven't said too much about this election since the start...but this is how I feel....

I'm noticing that a lot of people aren't graciously accepting the fact that their candidate lost.

In fact you seem to be posting even more hateful things about those who voted for Trump.

Some are apparently "triggered" because they are posting how "sick" you feel about the results.

How did this happen you ask? Well here is how it happened!

You created "us" when you attacked our freedom of speech.

You created "us" when you attacked our right to bear arms.

You created "us" when you attacked our Christian beliefs.

You created "us" when you constantly referred to us as racists.

You created "us" when you constantly called us xenophobic.

You created "us" when you told us to get on board or get out of the way.

You created "us" when you attacked our flag

You created "us" when you took God out of our schools.

You created "us" when you confused women's rights with feminism.

You created "us" when you began to emasculate men.

You created "us" when you decided to make our children soft.

You created "us" when you decided to vote for progressive ideals.

You created "us" when you attacked our way of life.

You created "us" when you decided to let our government get out of control.

You created "us" the silent majority

You created "us" when you began murdering innocent law enforcement officers.

You created "us" when you lied and said we could keep our insurance plans and our doctors

You created "us" when you allowed our jobs to continue to leave our country.

You created "us" when you took a knee, or stayed seated or didn't remove your hat during our National Anthem.

You created "us" when you forced us to buy health care and then financially penalized us for not participating.

And we became fed up and we pushed back and spoke up.

And we did it with ballots, not bullets.

With ballots, not riots.

With ballots, not looting.

With ballots, not blocking traffic.

With ballots, not fires, except the one you started inside of "us"

"YOU" created "US".

It really is just that simple.

Paul Genova has been President and Chief Operating Officer of Wireless Telecom Group Inc. since June 30, 2016. 

Capucine

Capucine was a French fashion model who worked in film as an actress for over 40 years.

Well known for her work in the comedies The Pink Panther and What's New Pussycat? 

Capucine committed suicide in 1990, at the age of 62.
For me, this lady embodied a look of mature beauty.

Stop Dangerous Sanctuary Cities Act

I send emails and faxes through NumbersUSA, sometimes I get responses.
After a strange start this year, with many "not voting" positions logged, our Senator has been getting good marks from the advocates to stop illegal and reduce legal immigration.

Thank you for contacting my office regarding immigration reform. I appreciate hearing from you and am grateful for the opportunity to respond.
First, I would like to apologize for the delay in sending a written response. I have received an unusually high volume of mail in the past few months, and that has delayed my response to you. Please know that your letter was read and your opinion recorded at the time it was received.
Our country is a nation of immigrants, and it is my belief that those who seek to come to this country through lawful channels to share in the pursuit of the American dream should be welcomed. However, I have always drawn a clear distinction between legal and illegal immigration. Illegal immigration places a great strain on our institutions and in turn burdens the American taxpayer. For this reason, I believe immigration reform is one of the most significant domestic issues facing our nation today.
My top priority for reform has always been that we secure our borders from illegal immigration, drug and alien smuggling, and violent activity first and foremost. The defense of our nation begins with securing our borders and ending the opportunity for illegal entry. We are a nation of laws, and it is our duty to uphold and strictly enforce these laws.
Recently, the Trump administration has taken executive action to enforce our immigration laws. On January 25, 2017, President Trump issued an executive order fulfilling a campaign promise to build a large physical barrier along the border with Mexico. It is imperative that we secure our border in a fiscally responsible manner that encompasses appropriate measures for each region, including physical barriers, unmanned aerial vehicles, night time surveillance, and the increased manpower to patrol the border.
I have also opposed the creation of so-called “sanctuary cities”. On January 30, 2017, I co-sponsored S.87, the Stop Dangerous Sanctuary Cities Act. This bill seeks to create financial penalties for these cities that choose not to enforce federal immigration laws and shield illegal immigrants from deportation. These actions undermine the rule of law and are unacceptable. We must work to ensure the immigration laws we set forth are followed by all U.S. jurisdictions.
I will continue working to address this important matter of national security. Restoring credibility to our immigration system and enforcing the rule of law must go hand in hand to preserve the values that make our country so special. Our nation is made stronger by the valuable contributions that legal immigrants bring to our economy and diverse culture, but we must work to ensure that strength is not undermined by unlawful immigration. Rest assured, I will continue to work with my colleagues in the Senate to secure our borders and advocate for immigration policies that strengthen our nation and benefit the people of Georgia.
Thank you again for contacting me. If I can be of any assistance to you in the future, please do not hesitate to call upon me.
Sincerely,
Johnny Isakson
United States Senator

This is posted with the knowledge that the Federal government has never stopped placing "legal" immigrants in our neighborhoods without an opportunity on our  part to resist or even protest. Look at what has gone on in Idaho, a business wants the cheap labor, and the local government  is bending over backwards  to make sure rapists are assimilated without discomfort.

Relief from Pork

Congress.org presents MEGAVOTE for September 11, 2017 and Georgia's 13th Congressional District.

Recent Congressional Votes

• Senate: Fiscal 2017 Disaster Supplemental Appropriations, Debt Limit, Continuing Appropriations
• House: Emergency Hurricane Harvey Supplemental Appropriations
• House: Fiscal 2017 Disaster Supplemental Appropriations, Debt Limit, Continuing Appropriations

Upcoming Congressional Bills

• Senate: Fiscal 2018 Defense Authorization

Recent Senate Votes:

Fiscal 2017 Disaster Supplemental Appropriations, Debt Limit, Continuing Appropriations Vote Passed (80-17, 3 Not Voting)

McConnell, R-Ky., motion to concur in the House amendment to the bill with a Senate amendment that would make available $15.25 billion in emergency supplemental funding for fiscal 2017 to partially cover the costs of responding to multiple natural disasters, including Hurricane Harvey. The amendment would suspend the public debt limit from the bill's date of enactment until Dec. 8, 2017, and would provide for government operations to be funded at fiscal 2017 levels until Dec. 8.

Sen. Johnny Isakson voted YES

Sen. David Perdue voted YES

Also known as excuse to pork it up. Ted Cruz was right to call folks out on this, but in the end more of the same. Congressmen should have to address unique situations separately so they can be judged on individual merits, rather than glob things together, so everybody gets something they need want for their district. Disaster relief should be addressed without encumbrances, cost and payment addressed in the same legislation. But Congress won't DO that!

Recent House Votes:

Emergency Hurricane Harvey Supplemental Appropriations Vote Passed (419-3, 11 Not Voting)

Frelinghuysen, R-N.J., motion to suspend the rules and agree to the resolution that would provide for the House to concur in the Senate amendments to a bill (HR 601) that would codify practices and programs at the United States Agency for International Development related to U.S. education assistance abroad, with further amendment that would appropriate $7.9 billion in emergency supplemental funding for fiscal 2017 as an initial payment to cover the costs of responding to Hurricane Harvey. The total would include $7.4 billion for the Homeland Security Department's Disaster Relief Fund, which will be used by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to support ongoing hurricane response efforts. It would also include $450 million for the Small Business Administration's disaster loan program to assist small businesses and homeowners.

Rep. David Scott voted YES

Relief is right, polluting it with pork is dishonest. Ignoring the cost is irresponsible.

Fiscal 2017 Disaster Supplemental Appropriations, Debt Limit, Continuing Appropriations Vote Passed (316-90, 27 Not Voting)

Frelinghuysen, R-N.J., motion to concur in the Senate amendment to the House amendment to the Senate amendment to the bill that would make available $15.25 billion in emergency supplemental funding for fiscal 2017 to partially cover the costs of responding to multiple natural disasters, including Hurricane Harvey. The measure would suspend the public debt limit from the bill's date of enactment until Dec. 8, 2017, and would provide for government operations to be funded at fiscal 2017 levels until Dec. 8, 2017.

Rep. David Scott voted YES

Ignoring cost is irresponsible. Those are our leaders, aren't we proud of them?

Upcoming Votes:

Fiscal 2018 Defense Authorization - HR2810 

The Senate is expected to limit debate on the fiscal 2018 defense authorization measure and Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain is expected to offer a substitute amendment (S 1519).  The bill would authorize more than $680 billion for the Pentagon and related agencies as well as the Overseas Contingency Operations account.

Let me take this opportunity to express my opinion that John McCain has become a first rate asshole. He has my gratitude for his service. But that was 50 years ago, and this is also the man who one of the Keating Five, and until the last election, ran the worst campaign since George McGovern. The way that he hung Sarah Palin out t dry during the election was disgraceful.

Complete Consideration of Fiscal 2018 Omnibus Appropriations - HR3354 

The House is expected to complete consideration of the measure, which combined eight of 12 annual spending bills for fiscal 2018 for purposes of amendment. A floor rule adopted last week also added the four-bill "security minibus" (HR 3219) passed in July, so that when this measure passes a full, 12-bill omnibus will be sent to the Senate.

An omnibus is a vehicle of carrying pork.

Deport Criminal Gang Members - HR3697

The bill would make it easier to deport criminal gang members, including by making it illegal for foreign gang members to come to the United States and by providing for the detention and removal of non-U.S. citizens or non-U.S. nationals if they are criminal gang members or participate in gang activity.

 Easier is good, but this smacks of pandering to the conservative base with minor legislation producing even more minor results. How about we treat them like enemy combatants and shoot them, problem solved.

European Court Orders EU Countries to Take Migrants

If the Democrats had their way, the United States would would be subordinate to such extra-national courts, forcing the citizens to accept and integrate hordes of aliens.

In may ways this does parallel the way the US federal system treats states.

Foreigners are accepted by the federal government and placed in states according to some unknown process which the states do not participate in.
