Rhetoric is fine and dandy, but what will always matter first are actions taken in order to defeat the liberal agenda.

Protect our Police officers

 

By Oscar Y. Harward

 

President Obama expressed, “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUMuYCpXJ0A

 

Lawlessness is growing in America; thanks to President Obama, his administration, and elected local, state, and national legislators.

 

What is happening to (y)our communities?  Why did these changes begin?  How will it end?

 

Rather than reducing crime, lawmakers and our courts are steering our nation toward additional criminality.

 

‘We the People’ employ Federal, state, and local law enforcement officers to protect our citizens, our/their properties, our laws and our Constitutional freedoms.

 

Criminals, supported by weakening laws and the courts, are permitted to reject or ignore law enforcement orders to stop, get down, etc.  Moreover, alleged potential lawbreaker(s) are permitted to run in avoiding arrest.

 

 As law enforcement officer(s) pursue alleged potential lawbreaker(s), the officer likely faces charges of assaulting the alleged potential lawbreaker(s). 

 

Criminals attack law enforcement with rocks and other weapons.  As law enforcement officer(s) attempt to control alleged potential lawbreaker(s), they are physically and verbally abused.

 

God Bless our law enforcement officers who continue supporting (y)our communities to support (y)our families, friends, and neighbors.

 

President Obama, his administration, and all legislators must protect our law enforcement officers from criminal lawbreaker(s).

Freedom and/or citizenship is not free!

 

By Oscar Y. Harward

 

‘Illegal’ immigrants must be required to leave the USA, return to their native nation, and go through the ‘legal’ process; in returning to the USA.

 

For years, and based on my conversations to many other thousands across America, President Obama, many leaders on Capitol Hill, leaders in the Republican National Committee (RNC), and the ‘Main-stream’ Medias, continue, in their efforts, to force and/or otherwise convince Americans that it is OK for ‘illegal’ immigrants to come into the USA without any questioning.

 

Not so; regardless of who tries to misrepresent your personal National Security values on this subject.  What Americans are witnessing today is an open ‘Illegal’ immigration with an unauthorized and ‘unlawful’ government that is supporting an out-of-control invasion; all at (y)our costs.

 

‘Illegal’ immigrants continue to come into the USA; many with  a record of criminality and is costing our taxpayers of food, housing, healthcare, education, etc., not to mention the massive amounts of law-abiding citizens suffering from physical attacks, larceny, illegal drugs, murderers, rapes, and more.

 

On a regular basis, an overwhelming majority of Americans refuse to accept a ‘left-wing’ government in the White House and/or on Capitol Hill that is allowing ‘illegal’ immigrants to continue living in America as the normal.

 

Whenever a bank is robbed, the ‘thieves’ are required to return their money back.  The robbing of a citizenship of any individual’s freedoms and values is much more precious than any amount of money stolen from a bank.

 

All ‘Illegal’ immigrants ‘must’ be required to leave the USA, return to their native nation, and go through the ‘legal’ process; in returning to the USA.

 

‘Illegal’ immigration in the USA is an invasion.  Their decisions are discarding of services of many who have served their nation, and/or given their own lives for the freedoms and values.

 

Other hard working tax-paying Americans are being forced to pay more in protecting other ‘Illegal’ immigrants in the USA.

 

This ‘unlawful’ Washington, DC activity must stop in the White House, on Capitol Hill, and within the RNC!

Ted Cruz; a true ‘family’ man!

You decide!

USA-Iranian Nuclear 2015 summer deal is shameful and DEADLY?

 

 

 

By Oscar Y. Harward

President Obama, Sec. of State, John Kerry, and their

USA negotiating team may be allowing the most terrorist nation in the entire world, the State of Iran, to develop with the ability to use 'NUCLEAR’ bombs against any of their other enemy nations.

 

Each American ‘MUST’ understand what President Obama, Sec. of State, John Kerry, and every Senator on Capitol Hill who votes ‘AYE’ in approving the USA – Iran Nuclear bomb agreement. 

President Obama, Secretary John Kerry, and Iranian officials within the State of Iran are attempting to deny, even our American leaders, from knowing some of the incidentals, ‘maybe deadly’ to the State of Israel, other American allies, and/or the USA itself, within this Agreement.

William H. Orrick, III, 'confirmed' to be United States District Judge

As expected, you can usually always count on Senators, Susan Collins (R-ME), Jeff Flake (R-AZ), and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) to vote for almost all Democrat Party appointments and/or legislation. 

Never mind these Senators voting for President Obama and the Democrat Party.  When it comes to passing out Republican Party money, the Republican National Committee (RNC), the Republican National Senate Committee (RNSC) and Sen. Mitch McConnell’s own ‘McConnell PAC’ always passes out the Republican Party money to these ‘left-wing’ voting RINO Republicans.   

In the 2014 GOP Primary Election season, Sen. Mitch McConnell’s own ‘McConnell PAC’ passed out Republican Party money is support of RINO Republican Party candidates and opposing highly qualified Conservative Republican Party candidates. 

“On January 3, 2013, he was renominated to the same office. His nomination was reported by the Senate Judiciary Committee on February 28, 2013, by a vote of 11 ayes to 7 nays, mostly along party lines, except that Republican Senator Jeff Flake voted aye.”  

“The U.S. Senate confirmed his nomination on May 15, 2013, by a vote of 56 ayes to 41 nays.[7] He received his commission on May 16, 2013.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_H._Orrick_III 

 

See how GOP Senators Susan Collins (R-ME), Jeff Flake (R-AZ), and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) voted to ‘confirm’ this left-wing Obama nominee to the US Judiciary.
