Assimilation; a Crisis of Mass-Migration
While the Administration announces its token plan to accept 10k Syrian refugees it is worth noting that the U.S., already, is taking in nearly 260k migrants from dominantly Arab-speaking Muslim countries each year. Security risk, though clearly of critical concern, is only part of the issue. Assimilation into a western culture is far more critical, lasting and due, in large part, to a fundamental truth; they’re already here.
As in the case of Minneapolis and Dearborn we observe the problem first hand. There are pockets of radicalized communities spreading throughout the U.S. illustrating the massive void between those Truths We Hold to be Self-Evident and the more dominant constructs of a foreign culture that is, by its nature, adverse to these Ideals.

Dems Favor Iran’s Fait Accompli
While no one doubts Iran’s nuclear capacity, its own well-developing military complex or its intentions, it remains quite a quandary as to why Congress, regardless of party affiliation, refuses to soundly repel the President’s efforts which, in effect, represents an open endorsement of Iran’s destabilizing influences. Mr. Obama has proven his disruptive policy brand, the imprint of which is global in its scope and will prove its lasting malignancy for decades to come; all, by the way, licensed by Congress’s political grace.
So what is it that China, France, Russia, the U.K. and Germany gain while being companions to this fabulous death march? They receive a blanket release of U.N. Sanctions creating open access to Iran for military arms sales, nuclear technology transfer and financial services. All the while Iran gets a much needed bump in regime-validation, economic and military related rewards; all of this nicely packaged, thanks to Mr. Obama and his allies in Congress, with absolute release of liability.
Rest assured that Iran is going (and I would argue that they already have) to cross-the-line and the P5 are counting on a future American President having to arm-up and address the issue, largely on its own, and with in-country resources. Obama of course will be out of office and the American public’s memory Obama of course will be out of office and the American public’s memory will save his allies in Congress from their just due.
There was and remains a more appropriate method; expand the sanctions and if you must, surgically target their nuclear proliferating sites. Of course there are security risks, but hereto you have the Obama-disrupt-and-degenerate-Administration open-boarder policy to thank. At no point, in the 230 plus years of American history, has this country been so completely encircled by such persistent failure than has occurred over the last 6 plus years; not even George, Jr. managed such extremes.

Trump Forcing GOP to Face Race Card
Like him or not Trump is exactly the kind of force I’d hoped would arrive; after all hoping that this country’s political system would self-cleanse was and has never been a likely event. For the first time since the LBJ era introduced the caricature of government-sponsored race-based opportunism along comes Trump (and Dr. Carson) who do the unthinkable by attacking the issues head-on. Forcing the GOP to face their culpability in allowing the race-based divide to continue.
I’ve not seen a single media outlet even begin to approach the issue, keeping their tradition of being a complimentary force in the destructive process in place, regardless of how critically relevant the issue may be. Instead of crawling into a defensive posture, what the GOP should be doing, and in part I believe this is precisely what both Trump and Dr. Carson are promulgating, is to craft issues of opportunity not based on Race but simply on universally applicable terms. Those that the very same Conservative Principles the Party promotes are precisely those that will erase the Race-Divide created by nearly 50 years of Race-Based Politics.
These same conservative principles are here, universally, to benefit each individual and they do so despite the color of your skin or economic background. What should be promoted is an Anti-Race agenda; an agenda that is universal and non-specific as to Race and yet, in practical terms, universally applicable to all; isn’t this what we stand for?
If we are going to claim the universal principals stated in our own Declaration of Independence then how is it anyone should expect the process to produce its stated promise if government, due to its policies and as the result of predatory political ambitions both of which animate and feed upon the race-divide, is itself the single greatest sponsor of segregation?

Kentucky U.S. District Judge; a Lesson in Separation of Church and State
Today marks a critical juncture where this nation’s departure, away from its founding principles, illustrates just how far distortions, when left unchallenged, progress to the point where there is not-a-one left standing. To believe this is about LGBT Rights is to believe in totalitarian rule. To believe this is all about “choice” is to believe that it’s righteous to shoot any human being, for any reason, simply because possessing a loaded gun gives you that right.
Reckless, arrogant and self-indulgent humans are not entitled to reckless, arrogant and self-indulgent behavior without consequence and no law will ever void the effects of their behavior. What is lost in the cacophony of spinelessness are two very simple truths:
(1) The imposition of the recent Supreme Court ruling illustrates precisely what the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution swore to prevent.
(2) Rowan County Clerk, Kim Davis, is yet another victim in what is just beginning to be an expanding imposition of central governance where courts & politicians defecate on this most important provision (First Amendment) of the U.S. Constitution without which no Constitutional provision can survive. Not A One!
To believe that the law sanctifies all actions is to hold the animus of human impulse above Devine or Natural Law and this is, as well, a principle that lives throughout the Federalist Papers and as such throughout this nation’s founding documents. I dare say that it is worthy to consider what form of government would have occurred had the Founders of this once great nation followed the thallic, malignant and equally defiant model of self-indulgent impulse where no one ideal survives in an environment where one is viewed as temporally inconvenient.
The Federal Government has absolutely NO business addressing social issues and/or micro-trending lore; these, if at all, are appropriately left to the States themselves. And regardless of what the black-robed dimwits might say or assert there is no standing for the application, in this instance, of the “due process” or “equal protection” clauses or are they even remotely, unless deliberately ravaged of all reason, foundationally relevant.
I acknowledge, faithfully, the ideals of freedom and liberty espoused by this nation’s founding documents however to contort and manipulate these in order to accommodate the will of a few is not unlike ripping out your tongue simply because you have no appetite for liver & onions! Now, in this nation, the price of tolerance is rapidly pushing the boundaries of what will ultimately become intolerable. If the American people ever awaken from their coma and realize their plight is directly related to situational opportunism they will then (also) have only their silence to blame.

Hillary: Obama’s Iran-Contra?
Distant as the Iran-Contra affair may be it is worth remembering that it nearly took down the Reagan Administration. The maze of chronic Middle-East policy failures that will forever define the Obama legacy is equaled only by the level of contempt, deceit and brazen disregard for the very system of government these people are sworn to uphold.
