Free Republic

Yea, we use M-4’s with laser scopes.

A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY?.....
The democrats main campaign theme for the upcoming election is that Donald Trump is a “Threat to Democracy”.
We will hear that mantra over and over and over ad nauseam from President Biden and the democrats in the next several months.

Get used to it.

Now let’s take a very close look at that charge.........

1. What Party wants to pack the Supreme Court for partisan political purposes? THAT is a Threat to Democracy.

2. What Party wants to eliminate the Electoral College for partisan political purposes? THAT is a Thread to Democracy.

3. What Party wants to make the District of Columbia a state for partisan political purposes? THAT is a Threat to Democracy.

6. What Party has encouraged a monumental, massive invasion of our southern border—knowing that there are many terrorists, child traffickers, drug dealers, rapists, murders/criminals freely coming into our country? THAT is a Threat to Democracy.

7. What country would allow the millions of law breakers—many of those mentioned above—to go to locations unknown? THAT is a Threat to Democracy.

8. What Party is using the banking industry and financial institutions to spy on the political opponents’ checking and savings accounts of anyone who happened to use the terms MAGA, Cabelas, Bass Pro Shops, Dicks Sporting Goods? THAT is a Threat to Democracy.

9. What Party wants illegal aliens to vote? THAT is a Threat to Democracy.

10. What Party wants to stifle free speech on college campuses and the internet? THAT is a Threat to Democracy.

11. What Party has used the power of the Federal Government to target anyone who is Pro-Life? THAT is a Threat to Democracy.

12. What Party has targeted Catholics for partisan political purposes? THAT is a Threat to Democracy.

13. What Party used the FBI, CIA and DOJ to put peaceful protesters (who were calmly invited into the Capital by police) on Jan 6 in prison? THAT is a threat to Democracy.

14. What Party uses DEI to override Supreme Court decisions on Affirmative Action with Executive Orders? THAT is a Threat to Democracy.

15. What Party ignores Supreme Court decisions on “loan forgiveness” for partisan political purposes? THAT is a Threat to Democracy.

16. What Party uses the power of the Federal Government to target supporters of the 2nd Amendment for partisan political purpose? THAT is a Threat to Democracy.

20. What Party used the DOJ/FBI for three years to try an overthrow a duly elected President with a totally bogus and blatantly ridiculous charge of Russian collusion? THAT is a Threat to Democracy (and also a REAL insurrection, unlike Jan 6).

21. What Party routinely plays the “Race Card” (via BLM, ANTIFA, DEI, Affirmative Action, etc) to divide this country with “identity politics” and perpetual victimization? THAT is a Threat to Democracy.

22. What Party is trying to rewrite U.S. History by destroying historical statues and monuments while indoctrinating our youth with Anti-American and Marxist propaganda? THAT is a Threat to Democracy.

23. What Party tried to influence an election by getting 51 high-ranking intelligence officials to affirm that Hunter Biden’s laptop was likely Russian disinformation (when the FBI knew for a absolute fact that it was not)? THAT is a Threat to Democracy.

Pss. Guess what. Texas has nuclear weapons!!!!

The police in America CANNOT ask a person if they are an illegal or not! Only the Border Patrol can do that.

The reason the FDA forbade Ivermectin and any other existing therapeutic drug to treat COVID is because the Emergency Use Authorization for the vaccine was only valid if there was no other treatment available.

They had to lie to make the EAU legal.

That is the truth, boys and girls! If you dig real deep, it is all about power and money!

Biden cannot be removed from the Presidency unless two things happen.

(1) Majority of the House formally Impeaches him for at least 1 thing.
(2) A 2/3 Majority in the Senate (67) Senators vote to convict him.

You will NEVER get the Democrats to remove Biden from the Presidency.

The big dirty secret..... Is that felons are NOT required BY LAW to register their guns! As per US Supreme Court ruling!

It is because they cheat! If we used in the USA, the Iraq method of voting, in person, with a purple finger after you vote. The results would be much different! If you believe that the elections in the USA are legit, then they have you fooled pretty good!

I know where to get Office Professional for $23.18. New legal copy!

If you don’t address it, then you bless it!

I have four of his pillows. I just another one, two weeks ago to help him out. We need more FR people to purchase some if they can afford it! I might get another one.

Here in Texas, the offenders get an tablet with ear buds free! They can watch movies (that they pay for) and listen to music (that they pay for) and can call home to loved ones.

The movies they can watch up to 5 times then it is not playable anymore. The music is theirs. The phone calls to loves ones, are on their list (up to 10) numbers. Keeps them from getting in trouble. So I think it is a good thing!

There is a whole squadron of them in San Antonio.

1907. TITLE 8, U.S.C. 1324(A) OFFENSES

Title 8, U.S.C. § 1324(a) defines several distinct offenses related to aliens.

Subsection 1324(a)(1)(i)-(v) prohibits alien smuggling, domestic transportation of unauthorized aliens, concealing or harboring unauthorized aliens, encouraging or inducing unauthorized aliens to enter the United States, and engaging in a conspiracy or aiding and abetting any of the preceding acts.

Subsection 1324(a)(2) prohibits bringing or attempting to bring unauthorized aliens to the United States in any manner whatsoever, even at a designated port of entry.

Subsection 1324(a)(3).
Alien Smuggling — Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(i) makes it an offense for any person who — knowing that a person is an alien, to bring to or attempts to bring to the United States in any manner whatsoever such person at a place other than a designated port of entry or place other than as designated by the Commissioner, regardless of whether such alien has received prior official authorization to come to, enter, or reside in the United States and regardless of any future official action which may be taken with respect to such alien.

Domestic Transporting — Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(ii) makes it an offense for any person who — knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, transports, or moves or attempts to transport or move such alien within the United States by means of transportation or otherwise, in furtherance of such violation of law.

The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA), enacted on September 30, 1996, added a new 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(3)(A) which makes it an offense for any person, during any 12-month period, to knowingly hire at least 10 individuals with actual knowledge that these individuals are unauthorized aliens.

See this Manual at 1908 (unlawful employment of aliens).

Unit of Prosecution — With regard to offenses defined in subsections 1324(a)(1)(A)(i)-(v), (alien smuggling, domestic transporting, harboring, encouraging/inducing, or conspiracy/aiding or abetting) each alien with respect to whom a violation occurs constitutes a unit of prosecution. Prior to enactment of the IIRIRA, the unit of prosecution for violations of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(2) was each transaction, regardless of the number of aliens involved. However, the unit of prosecution is now based on each alien in respect to whom a violation occurs.

Knowledge — Prosecutions for alien smuggling, 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A)(i) require proof that defendant knew that the person brought to the United States was an alien. With regard to the other violations in 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a), proof of knowledge or reckless disregard of alienage is sufficient.

Penalties — The basic statutory maximum penalty for violating 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(i) and (v)(I) (alien smuggling and conspiracy) is a fine under title 18, imprisonment for not more than 10 years, or both. With regard to violations of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(ii)-(iv) and (v)(ii), domestic transportation, harboring, encouraging/inducing, or aiding/abetting, the basic statutory maximum term of imprisonment is 5 years, unless the offense was committed for commercial advantage or private financial gain, in which case the maximum term of imprisonment is 10 years.

In addition, significant enhanced penalties are provided for in violations of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1) involving serious bodily injury or placing life in jeopardy.
Moreover, if the violation results in the death of any person, the defendant may be punished by death or by imprisonment for any term of years.

The basic penalty for a violation of subsection 1324(a)(2) is a fine under title 18, imprisonment for not more than one year, or both, 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(2)(A). Enhanced penalties are provided for violations involving bringing in criminal aliens, 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(2)(B)(i), offenses done for commercial advantage or private financial gain, 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(2)(B)(ii), and violations where the alien is not presented to an immigration officer immediately upon arrival, 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(2)(B)(iii).

A mandatory minimum three year term of imprisonment applies to first or second violations of § 1324(a)(2)(B)(i) or (B)(ii). Further enhanced punishment is provided for third or subsequent offenses.

OMG!! What we would do without inspections!!! /sarc.

Since the 20’s, people did their own inspections. If the car was NOT road ready, people fixed the issues and made it road ready! Like somebody else said, it is just a money grab by the state governments. They should have added, that emission inspections be eliminated.

Maybe it would have worked out, if the Rent and Utilities were free! /s

He is going to be REAL popular in TDCJ!

Remember President Johnson (Democrat) in the 60’s with the help of a Democrat Congress, took the $$$ from SSA and used it to pay for the Vietnam war! Damn those Dem’s.

Don’t need to look, just the usual people!
