Deportations

 

Part of the strategy of President Trump and the white hats is to move as rapidly and on as many fronts as possible, not only for the purposes of keeping the promises he made to the 77 million-plus who voted for him, but also to force the corrupt members of the judicial branch to show their true colors.

There are so many presidential actions being executed daily by the Trump team that the cabal/deep state has to call on their minions in the courts to try to stop President Trump from enforcing immigration laws.

This plethora of actions by the Trump team is now often followed by one or more of the 700+ U.S. district court judges issuing an order for Trump’s order to be reversed immediately.

These America-hating judges then claim that their order is to be applied nationwide—which any reasonable person can see is ridiculous—but the Leftists press ahead as that is their tool du jour to stop Trump. Their judicial tyranny will not stand.

Don't be fooled... it's not about human rights and compassion. 

The reason activist judges want illegal aliens is to count in the census so they can control the number of seats in the House of Representatives and keep their cushy jobs.

Re: "Birthright Citizenship Act"
 
America has always welcomed immigrants who follow our Laws. Illegal aliens are by definition criminals. Anyone who enters America without proper documentation has broken the Law. What part of illegal do liberal judges not understand?

If my neighbor's cow beaks down the fence and comes onto my property and gives birth to a calf, does the calf belong to me? No, the calf belongs to the cow and the cow belongs to my neighbor. Same principle goes for illegal aliens and their offspring. The 14th Amendment granted citizenship to African slaves who were born in the United States. The 14th Amendment does not apply to illegal aliens. 

The law that applies to illegal immigration is Title 8 of the Constitution. Activists Judges, who are appointed, work harder trying to remove Trump, who We the People elected, than they do removing drug dealers, murderers, rapists, and terrorists. Liberal Judges, Liberal Governors, Mayors of “sanctuary cities”, and politicians who support them are breaking the law under Title 8 of the Constitution by aiding and abetting illegal aliens. 
 
Title 8 of the United States Code, specifically Title 8, Chapter 12, establishes the legal framework for immigration and nationality in the US, including procedures for entry, processing, and removal of individuals, and it's the law that was in place before the use of Title 42.

Originally enacted in 1944, Title 42 became a central tool for U.S. immigration policy in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Under Title 42, the U.S. government has the power to expel migrants quickly at the border, without the typical immigration court hearings or asylum processes. Again, what part of illegal do these activists not understand?
 
How many of these liberal activists would allow criminals they care so much about live in their homes? 

 

Come next election cycle, We Will Remember

250th Anniversary

 

Independence day lettering with photo

On July 4th 2025 America celebrates her 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence from the British Empire. The Founders of the new nation they called the United States of America wrote in the founding documents, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." 
 
What they meant was 'all white Christian men are created equal'; they never imagined any non-white, non-Christian would want to live among them, therefore, they made no provision in the Constitution for non-white, non Christian citizens... until the 13th and 14th Amendments were enacted. It was not based on bigotry or hatred, they simply believed "birds of a feather flock together." 
 
There is only one "race"... the human race. Humans are all made of ONE BLOOD. Racism was invented by agents of Satan to divide people. There are nationalities, meaning country of origin, not the color of your skin. We do not get to choose our parents, we come into the world exactly the color God made us. 
 
The Constitution is for U.S. citizens only, illegal aliens have no rights under the Constitution. They did not request due process coming in, they do not qualify for "due process" going out.

In 1776, it's estimated that 99.8% of the US population were professing Christians, with 98.4% being Protestants and 1.4% being Catholics. This suggests a high level of religious adherence and a largely Christian society during the time of the American Revolution. 

By 1830, there were 3,775 black (including mixed-race) slaveholders in the South who owned a total of 12,760 slaves; around 2 million in the south. 80% of the black slaveholders were located in Louisiana, South Carolina, Virginia and Maryland.

For nearly two hundred years the Northern States maintained a slave regime that was more varied than that of the South. Rather than using slaves as primarily agricultural labor, the North trained and diversified its slave force to meet the needs of its more complex economy.

African slaves were brought to numerous ports along the eastern seaboard of the United States, particularly in the South and Mid-Atlantic regions, as well as New England. Major ports included Charleston, South Carolina, Savannah, Georgia, and Wilmington, North Carolina. Other important ports included New York City, Philadelphia, and Boston. 

A few in the North wanted to block the spread of slavery. They were also concerned that an extra slave state would give the South a political advantage. The South thought new states should be free to allow slavery if they wanted. The North was not concerned for the slaves, only the "political advantage."

Why did Lincoln declare war on the South?
In this open letter to Horace Greeley, President Lincoln maintained that the central cause of the Civil War was to keep the country united and not to free the slaves. Greeley was a reformer, abolitionist, and editor of the New York Tribune, an influential newspaper in the North. After South Carolina seceded from the Union, Lincoln's primary goal was to preserve the Union. The war was never about human rights or compassion.
 
And why was preserving the union so critical? The North could not survive without the South. The South had good weather, a long growing season, sea ports, and industry. Europe was buying products from the South and making them prosperous. The North was envious and wanted to punish the South for pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness. The North had shipbuilding, gun manufacturing, furniture factories, and little else. They depended on the South for clothes, lumber, and food.  
 
During his presidency, Abraham Lincoln's tariffs significantly impacted the cotton industry, particularly in the South. While Lincoln's administration was generally supportive of tariffs to protect domestic industries, the impact on the Southern cotton economy was mixed and contributed to tensions leading to the Civil War. 

Specifically, the Morrill Tariff of 1861, (Justin S. Morrill, Republican Congressman and Senator from Vermont, was the person most responsible for both the tariff and internal revenue measures enacted during the American Civil War) passed shortly before Lincoln's inauguration, raised tariffs on imported goods. This move, while intended to boost the Northern economy and protect industries like textiles, had a detrimental effect on the Southern cotton industry. The South, which heavily relied on cotton exports, found its goods facing higher tariffs in international markets. 

Furthermore, the blockade implemented during the Civil War significantly disrupted Southern cotton exports, further crippling the industry. The South's reliance on foreign markets for manufactured goods and the higher tariffs imposed by the Union on imported goods further strained the Southern economy. 

In essence, while Lincoln's tariff policies were driven by a desire to support the Northern industrial base and the overall national economy, they had a particularly negative impact on the Southern cotton industry, exacerbating the economic disparities between the North and South and contributing to the tensions that led to the Civil War. 

With Lincoln’s tariffs America lost control of the cotton industry. Many a black man moved from slavery to starvation.

Slavery was forbidden in the country northwest of the Ohio River by what is called the ordinance of 1787. In 1820 the North endeavored to overturn this wise and successful policy and demanded that the State of Missouri should not be admitted into the Union unless she first prohibited slavery within her limits by her constitution. After a bitter and protracted struggle the North was defeated in her special object, but her policy and position led to the adoption of a section in the law for the admission of Missouri, prohibiting slavery in all that portion of the territory acquired from France lying North of 36 [degrees] 30 [minutes] north latitude and outside of Missouri. 

The "purchase of Liberia" refers to the acquisition of land in West Africa by the American Colonization Society (ACS) in 1821 to establish a colony for freed slaves and freeborn Black people from the United States. The ACS, a group of white elites, sought to create a new homeland where these individuals could find more freedom and opportunity than they did in the U.S. The initial purchase was of land at Cape Mesurado, which became the site of the first settlement, Monrovia. Liberia declared independence on July 26, 1847, which the U.S. did not recognize until February 5, 1862.   

Between 1820 and 1864, approximately 11,000 to 12,000 free Black people and those formerly enslaved emigrated to Liberia. This includes both free Black people and those who were granted freedom by the American Colonization Society (ACS) in exchange for their emigration to Liberia. The ACS, with support from the US Treasury, organized and funded this emigration, with the goal of establishing a colony in West Africa.

Lincoln provoked a needless war with the South by trying to force the South to give up their Rights to slave labor. He did not punish the Northern slave owners, many of which sent their African slaves to fight. Slavery would have ended peacefully when it was no longer profitable. The Civil War was never about human rights or compassion. It was all about which political party would control America.
 
The Civil War was a tragedy. Since the North owned slaves, the South fought to be left alone. The vast majority of the men who fought for the Confederacy were not slaveholders. The Confederate Flag represents Southern culture and heritage. It is not racist to defend your home. Understanding history doesn't mean you accept or agree but that you acknowledge there are two sides to the story. You don't re-write history to accommodate political correctness. Removing Confederate monuments does do not change history.
 
For many free blacks and slaves, the harshest abuse actually came from the northern Yankee invaders. Read the book “When the Yankees Come: Former Slaves Remember Sherman’s Invasion.” Former slaves remember how the “malevolent” Yankee army raped black women, burned their homes and left them starving along side the white people. Union soldiers were known for even torturing faithful southern blacks.

Over 600,000 white men gave their lives to free the black man. That's a historical fact that Democrats conveniently forget. It was Democrats that wanted slavery. It was Democrats that created the KKK. It was Democrats that demanded segregation. It was Democrats that stood in the doorway of schools. It was Democrats that denied Black Americans their civil rights. It was Democrats that demanded separate water fountains and restrooms for "white" and "colored." It was Democrats that denied Blacks access to restaurants and hotels. It was Democrats that moved the Black man from the cotton plantation to the government welfare plantation and destroyed Black families. With Democrats it has never been about human rights or compassion.  


It was during Reconstruction after the Civil War that a century-long era of racial hierarchy, lynching, white supremacy, and bigotry was established by Democrats—an era from which this nation still struggles. Most Americans know very little about the legacy of the Democrats.


In the 250 year history of America, she has made many mistakes, but she always tried to correct those mistakes, sometimes with remedies that only made things worse. Here we are in the year 2025. There is not a single white American alive today who ever owned slaves. There is not a single black American alive today who was a slave. Every Black American stays in America because of the freedom and benefits America affords. You do not see a mass migration to Africa.

If America needs to pay reparations to anyone, it's the American Indian. The US government made over 400 treaties with various Indian tribes and violated every one of them. Manifest Destiny was a 19th-century belief in the United States that the country was destined by God to expand its territory and spread its democratic and capitalist ideals across the entire North American continent. This ideology, while fueled by a sense of national pride and a desire for land, also led to the displacement and subjugation of Native Americans and the intensification of sectional tensions over slavery. 

How did "destined by God" play a part in America history? Americans used to study the Bible and they knew about God's Promise to Abraham. They believed they were doing God's will. Without the promises God made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel and their descendants, there would be no Christianity, and without Christianity there would be no Western Civilization, no America.
 
Every July 4th, America celebrates American culture which is a dynamic and diverse mix of customs, traditions, and values that reflect the nation's history, population, and geographic diversity. It's characterized by a strong emphasis on individualism, a belief in equality and opportunity, and a future-oriented outlook. Additionally, American culture is known for its love of privacy, respect for hard work, and a commitment to timeliness. Americans value individualism, equality, diversity, unity, liberty, and self-government within the framework of a Constitutional Republic.  

God-fearing Christians, and freedom-loving Americans must be involved in civic and political activities for the simple reason that if Christians disdain politics and avoid any and all political activity, then who does that leave to enter the halls of our city/town, our school board, county commission, etc., and control our life? 
 
The Founders of the United States of America knew enough about the Bible to design a National Flag that represents America's Christian heritage.  
 

Flag of United States of America

Our Flag has 13 stripes of red and white that represent the shed blood of Jesus Christ and the purity of God's word. The stripes also represent the original 13 colonies and the 13 tribes of Israel (the tribe of Joseph was divided into the half tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh - total 13) with a blue field representing God's Divine Law, and stars that represent the 50 States, (50 being the number of Divine government) and the stars God promised Abraham. "In blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven. ~ Genesis 22:17. And we call her Old Glory!

The United States Marine Corps also celebrates 250 years of service to America. I enlisted the Marine Corps in 1958 and served on active duty until 1962. From 1962 to 1964 I was on Ready Reserve. I swore an oath which I still stand by today. Once a Marine, always a Marine. The Marines do the difficult immediately, the impossible just takes a while longer.
 
(Note I capitalized three words to make a point)

Oath of Enlistment
I, Michael L. Farris, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, FOREIGN and DOMESTIC; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the PRESIDENT of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God. (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).
 
If our politicians would stand by their oath of office to support and defend the Constitution, America would be better off. 
 
The Oath of Office for U.S. public officers and employees is a solemn affirmation that they will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that they will bear true faith and allegiance to it; that they take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that they will well and faithfully discharge the duties of their office.
