Illegal Deportation 2-22-25

Illegals are set to lose their funding. The US is removing federal funding of NGO Charities who were given Grants under the Biden Administration support Illegals. 

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is telling Illegals to go home now. If they wait to be caught and deported, they will never be able to enter the US legally.

MS 13 and the Venezuela Cartels have been added to the Terrorist List.  They and their US Drug Cartel partners are being arrested and Deported to Guantanamo In Cuba along with Illegals from China. Space for 30,000 new Guantanamo Illegals is being prepared. 

There are 16 million unvetted Illegals who entered the US from 2021 to 2025.  65% of Illegals or 10.4 million have been working in US jobs. As illegals leave the US workforce and go back to their home countries, The 10.4 million jobs will go to US citizens.

The E Verify law required all government contractors to hire US Citizens. This E Verify law will be expanded to include all employees. This will make it illegal to hire foreign nationals who do not have a Work Visa like H1b, H2b H2a (agricultural) or Green Cards. Foreign Nationals who work for Temp Agencies will not be able to replace US citizen workers.

Large Companies who relocate to the US who require large amounts of electricity will be able to build their own electric generating plants in the US.

History of Wars 2-21-25

Wars have determined the ownership of land for centuries. Prehistoric Tribes battled to keep their land. Victorious Tribal chiefs became Kings of Countries and some countries won wars to become Empires. What to do with conquered people has varied. When Cyrus became the Emperor of Persia, he welcomed his conquered people to become citizens of Persia and allowed them to keep their old religions. When Alexander the Great the ruler of Greece conquered the Middle East, he also welcomed his conquered people, but when he died, his brothers could not hold the empire together. In China, the rulers battled each other until an Emperor arose and after that neighboring monarchies overthrew the Emperors and became Emperors of larger empires. Rome conquered much of Europe and North Africa and they sold their conquered people into slavery from 100BC to 400AD. After the fall of Rome, European nations reconstituted and Kings with military credentials arose. 

In 400AD, the Catholic Church was replacing Paganism by Roman decree and the Church became a State Department for the Roman Empire. In 476AD the Roman Empire ended, but the Church continued and became a peer to the Kings that arose in Europe. These Kings continued to attack each other until 800AD. By then the Church and State were fully integrated. Kings would pay the Church to have their sons become Cardinals and they became Prince-Bishops.

The discovery of America in 1492 was a gamechanger for Europe. Spain, Portugal, France and England fought the American Natives to secure their land and created “colonies”. Europeans later created colonies in Asia.

Europeans battled each other through the 1700s. North America belonged to England and France. South America belonged to Spain and Portugal. The Revolutionary War that began in 1776 created the United States in 1789. This was another  gamechanger for colonies and European Monarchies. Wars continued between England and France. Portugal now owned Brazil and Spain owned the rest of South America. Canada was owned by England, but included a French Province in Montreal. Things were settling down. The US bought the Louisiana purchase from France in 1802 and defeated the Mexicans in 1948. The US later fought the Civil War to retake the Southern States of the Confederacy in 1865.

Wars continued in Europe with World War I in 1914 when the Austro-Hungarian Empire invaded Serbia and were joined by Germany and the Ottoman Empire. This got England and France in the fight and the US entered in 1917. The war ended in 1918 and dissolved the Ottoman Empire. The Austro-Hungarian Empire became Austria and Hungary. Germany was required to pay reparations that created poverty and deep resentment in Germany that would lead to World War II. German citizens elected the NAZI Party in 1933 and Adolph Hitler became Chancellor of Germany. Hitler preached Nationalism and fought Communism.

The Russian Revolution was a series of events in 1917 that overthrew the monarchy and established a communist state. The revolution was a result of widespread disillusionment with the Tsar and the government. In 1922, the USSR was founded and the new Communist Government seized all the property from its citizens.

In 1939, NAZI Germany invaded Poland and started World War II.

In 1939 Germany annexed Austria and invaded Czechoslovakia.

In 1940 England and France declared war on Germany.

In 1945, the Russians refused to leave the Eastern European Countries. The Cold War ended in 1991. The Communist USSR was dissolved and was replaced by the Russian Republic. In 1991. 

During the Cold War, countries considered satellite states to the USSR included: Albania, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and East Germany (German Democratic Republic), all of which were located in Eastern Europe and heavily influenced by the Soviet Union politically and economically. 

Ukraine that had been historically included as part of Russia was declared an independent country.

Mistakes were made after World War II. Korea was split between Communist North Korea and South Korea that started the Korean War in 1950. The USSR was allowed to take over the satellite countries and could have been dissuaded by the Atom Bomb. The Middle East was ignored and allowed to create their own problems. Ukraine was invaded by Russia. Israel was attacked by Muslim Terror proxies of Iran. South American countries were ignored and were vulnerable to occasional Marxist takeovers and drug cartels.

In 1974, US President Nixon began a trade relationship with Communist China. This has resulted in China going from a poor, overpopulated country to a global menace.

Comments

Trump’s Agenda to end war is to use economic pressure to dissuade bad actors is effective. His strategy to work down the US National Debt will be effective and will restore the US Constitution to avoid a Communist takeover.

Trump’s approach to ending the Ukraine/Russia War is to end the war with a peace treaty. He is offering Ukraine the opportunity to develop their mining of rare earth materials and oil. He would invite US mining companies to invest and would allow Ukraine to export to the US.

Putin first objected to Ukraine joining NATO, because he didn’t want NATO missiles near the Russian border was lame. Ukraine has now proven that it needs to be admitted to NATO to dissuade Putin from invading Ukraine in the future.

Putin should be held accountable for invading Ukraine. Sanctions and Reparations are in order as part of any Peace Treaty.

Putin’s aggression should be punished.

Trump wants to open trade for everybody. This should give bad actors like Russia, China, North Korea and Iran the opportunity to behave. He wants to disincentivize war.

The US and Europe should threaten to impose total economic isolation on Russia, China, North Korea and Iran.

Fixing Failed Countries 2-21-25

There are many counties who remain underdeveloped. There are some countries who are “failed countries” because they are infested with Terror Groups, Criminal Groups and Drug Cartels. The “failed countries need to eliminate these Groups and Cartels. 

Elections have consequences.

The Voters of Iran voted to change from a Monarchy in 1979 and chose a Theocrasy that became a Dictatorship and the primary funder of Islamic Terror Groups.

The Voters of Gaza in Palestine voted to choose Hamas, an Islamic Terror Group to become the government of Gaza.

European Countries are not failed, they are stuck with their bad decisions.

Wherever voters are stuck in “socialist mode”, they are not investing in their private sector and are not improving their economies. This includes most of the EU member countries. They are not failed countries, but need to privatize their services. The EU is a conglomeration of high tax countries with a 20% Vat sales tax and a declining standards of living. The EU and UK needs their own DOGE to root out unnecessary expenses.

Israel needs neighbors who don’t want to destroy them. The voters in Palestine, Lebanon and Syria need to reform or be taken over by Israel. Israel could achieve this by invading and taking over these failed countries. That would restore Israel to its original size.

Trump continues to replace war with total economic isolation for bad actors. He has proven that it works. His sanctions on Iran worked and he will reapply them. His strategy for lowering inflation by increasing production of oil and natural gas worked and he will do it again. He wants all countries to live in peace with “fair trade” and concentrate on improving their economies to benefit its citizens. He wants countries to produce most of what they consume to shrink unreliable supply chains.

Reducing Federal Agencies 2-20-25

The US Federal Government is going broke and the cost of government needs to be reduced to bare necessities at all levels.

Most Agencies have failed to avoid infiltration and sabotage. DOGE is identifying the damage. Trump has identified the need to send Education to the States to return it to Basics and Occupational Preparation. Trump is also closing USAID to end corruption and eliminate Federal support. Trump will close the redundant Consumer Protection Agency under the Federal Reserve. More Agencies like FEMA are being considered for States to assume Control. 

DOGE is expected to complete their identification and clean up task before the end of 2026. DOGE will be needed to implement automation using AI to improve productivity and accuracy.

The EPA overreach will end. Bureaucrats who want to end gas cooktops will be laid off. The EPA will deal with forest fires and lack of water supply where needed.

The DOJ is ending Sanctuary States, Counties and Cities to allow ICE to deport 16 million Illegals.

The DOT should return highway and bridge maintenance and construction to the States and end its grants.

The HHS will end fraud in Medicare and Medicaid, make the NIH and FDA independent of Big Pharma and make USDA independent of Big Food. RFK Jr will reduce headcount in the FDA and CDC.

This reorganization of the Executive Branch Agencies will continue through 2025. Some Agencies will be eliminated or combined. Agencies with connecting and overlapping responsibilities will apply permanent collaboration. Headcount and Spending will be reduced by $2 trillion per year to enable Congress to balance the budget.

Federal employees have been reported at 3 million and Spending has been reported at $7 trillion. Bureaucrats will be eliminated

Grant Programs will be reduced or eliminated. AI automation will allow government employees to reduce costs and improve accuracy. USAID has been transferred to the State Department. States have  EPA, DOT, Education and Labor Departments. Counties have School Boards. Federal Grants to States funds half of all State Budgets. Federal Grants to States need to be reduced or eliminated, leaving the states, cities and counties responsible for funding their own spending.

Defunding Foreign Aid 2-20-25

USAID 

In 2024, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) obligated $30.3 billion in funding. USAID is the main US agency that helps countries recover from disasters, reduce poverty, and make democratic reforms. 

DOGE has identified that USAID Grants are full of useless projects and USAID should be closed.

UN

The United Nations was established in 1946 to replace the League of Nations.

The League of Nations was established in 1920 to prevent war by US President Woodrow Wilson, following World War I.  When it failed in 1939 when Germany invaded Poland it was replaced by the United Nations in 1946, following World War II. After World

War II, the UN supported the restoration of Israel in 1948.

As of February 2025, 193 countries are member states of the United Nations (UN). The UN is an intergovernmental organization that works to address global issues. 

The United Nations (UN) budget for 2024 was $3.59 billion, which was approved by the General Assembly on December 24, 2023. However, the UN's financial situation is challenging due to a combination of factors, including unpaid assessments and fluctuating collections. 

The UN continues to fail in its original purpose to prevent war and continues to fail in their other functions.

In 1950, the UN recruited other countries to respond to the Korean War.  The United Nations functioned badly since its founding in 1946

In 1989, the UN published UN Agenda 21 that proposed that they form a Global Government.

Europe responded by forming the European Union. UN Agenda 21 declared that Global Warming required the replacement of fossil fuels like Coal and Oil be replaced by Wind and Solar. By 1990, Europe had learned its lesson as consumer costs doubled.

US President GHW Bush signed on for UN Agenda 21 in 1989. Bill Clinton issued the Executive Order to implement it in 1993. Obama unleashed “smart growth” and the Global Warming Hoax.

Trump quit the Climate Hoax Accords and the World Health Organization and should quit the rest. The UN does more harm than good.

EU

In 1992 George Soros crashed the British Pound that sank from $2.25 to $1.00. Soros bought British Pound notes over time and sold them all at once.  

The European Union was formed in 1993. It began in 1950 as a “European trade association” and as Europe rebuilt after World War II and morphed into a community of countries. They all agreed that a single currency for Europe would be nice and they all wanted to upgrade their public transit to encourage tourism and interconnect trains between countries. The Euro is currently worth $1.05 USD.

As of February 2025, the European Union (EU) has 27 member states. The EU is a political and economic union of countries in Europe. The EU is a supranational organization that allows for the free movement of goods, services, capital, and people between member states. The Euro is their common currency. They are, in effect, the United States of Europe, but membership is optional.

The European Union's (EU) budget for 2024 is €189.39 billion in commitments and €142.63 billion in payments. The budget was approved by the Council of the EU on November 20, 2023. The European Parliament voted on the budget in November, and the president of the European Parliament signed it into law. 

European Member Countries pay for two layers of government plus a 20% sales tax on everything they buy. They need to reduce the cost of government. They ended the Musim Invasion of Europe and started to deport their 2015 refugees in 2020. In the US we took 2 million refugees and elected 2 Liberal Refugees to Congress.

EU countries should cut their government spending in half and lower citizens’ 20% Vat sales taxes in half. The EU should back off and let member countries control their own immigration and laws. They can continue to have the Euro and their “Trade Association”.

NATO

NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was formed in 1949 at the beginning of the “Cold War” to protect Europe from the USSR. When the USSR collapsed, NATO continued to exist.

As of March 7, 2024, there are 32 member states in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). This includes 30 European countries and two North American countries the US and Canada.

NATO was not involved in the Middle East wars or the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, because Ukraine was not admitted as a NATO member country. NATO has managed to keep its members from invading each other. It’s purpose now is to serve as a “deterrent” to War in Europe. NATO participation by the US resulted in a 2 year European Vacation for US Military personnel for decades.

In February, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said: “In 2024, NATO allies in Europe will invest a combined total of $380 billion for defense. NATO asks that members pay 2 percent of their GDP.” The United States remains the world's largest military spender by far.

Trump wants member countries to pay 5 percent of GDP to pay for their own defense to deter Russia from further expansion.  NATO is an effective deterrent to prevent other countries from attacking the US. Instead, they send Terrorists and Drug Cartels to attack the US.

NATO could shrink to monitor bad actors and offer training exercises. Member Countries could maintain their own armies as Reserve Units and train together as NATO units. Their Military could hold other jobs at home in their respective countries and be given leave to train with NATO.

World Bank

The World Bank was established in 1944 and has headquartered in the US in Washington, D.C. since 1946 

The World Bank has 189 member countries, which are its shareholders. The World Bank is the world's largest multilateral development bank. 

The US give the World Bank $3.7 billion per year. The US has the largest financial commitment to the IBRD, accounting for 16.37% of total IBRD resources. U.S. callable capital is $52.9 billion and U.S. paid-in capital is $3.7 billion.

The World Bank controls the finances of developing countries by providing loans to their governments.

The World Bank has two lending facilities, the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA), with member countries that borrow money from both. 

The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) has 189 member countries and provides loans, guarantees, and advisory services to middle-income countries and some low-income countries

The International Development Association (IDA) has 175 member countries and provides grants and low-interest loans to low-income countries and is the largest source of donor funds for essential social services in low-income countries

The World Bank's International Debt Report (IDR) covers 121 low- and middle-income countries that report to the World Bank Debtor Reporting System (DRS). 

The World Bank charges interest and has limits on what it will lend each country. Their advice is usually sound. The World Bank determines the countries they will lend to and made no loans to Venezuela after 1990 and made no loans to Zimbabwe after 2000. They both failed the math test. It is the only aid agency worth keeping.

Norb Leahy, Dunwoody GA Tea Party Leader

US National Debt 2-19-25

The US has a $36.5 trillion National Debt and annual Federal Revenue of $5 trillion. The US Debt to GDP is 120%. US Federal Spending is $7 trillion per year. The Interest on the Debt is $1.55 trillion. The current Fed rate is 4.25% to 4.50%.

We need to reduce the interest on the Debt to fund automation to increase productivity and data reliability. 

The US needs to balance the Federal Budget and establish a Surplus Account to pay down the National Debt. All Federal Agencies that exist to support subsidies should be eliminated. Grants to States should end and States should fund their own needs. National Parks, Forests and all but military bases and proving grounds should be given back to the States.

Trump has an Agenda to reduce Federal Spending by $2 trillion and increase US Oil and Natural Gas production to reduce the global cost of Oil, Gasoline and Natural gas to reduce global inflation.  Trump plans to increase US exports of US Oil and Natural Gas to lower the US Trade Deficit. Trump plans to deport 10,000,000 Illegals who entered the US from 2021 to 2025 to provide jobs for US citizens. Trump plans to lower corporate taxes from 21% to 15% to allow US Companies to increase wages and allow foreign companies to build more plants in the US to employ US workers. Trump wants to lower US Citizen Income Taxes to offset the damage done by inflation that occurred from 2021 to 2025.

The interest on U.S. debt is determined by the interest rates on Treasury securities and the amount of debt outstanding, according to the Peter G. Peterson Foundation. The Federal Reserve plays a key role in setting interest rates, which impact the cost of borrowing money for the government and individuals. 

The U.S. Treasury issues debt to borrow money when government spending exceeds revenue. 

The Bureau of the Fiscal Service manages the debt, including selling it and paying it back. 

The Federal Reserve sets interest rates, including the federal funds rate, which affects the cost of borrowing money. 

The Federal Reserve raised interest rates to fight inflation after the pandemic. 

The interest costs on the debt are a budgetary cost for the government. When interest rates rise, interest costs increase, making the debt a bigger drain on the budget. 

Who owns the U.S. debt? There are two basic categories of debt owners: 1) the public, which includes foreign investors and domestic investors and, 2) federal accounts, also known as "intragovernmental holdings."

The Stock Market is in competition with the Treasury Bills. Some Investors buy Treasury Bills to get a guaranteed return on investment to balance their investment portfolio. Most investors are in 401K plans that allow employees to invest in stocks to earn enough to beat inflation.

Debt held by the public measures the government’s borrowing from the private sector (including banks and investors) and foreign governments. CBO estimates that at the end of fiscal year 2024 (September 30, 2024), debt held by the public was $28.2 trillion.

How do countries buy U.S. dollars? Global consumers convert local currency into dollars by selling their currency to buy dollars to make the payment. When the government or American corporations issue bonds to raise capital and bonds are purchased by foreign investors, those payments are made in dollars.

Responsible governments hold their expenses and balance their budgets to avoid debt. The US Federal Government needs to reduce expenses back to $5 trillion to match $5 trillion in revenue and may need to cut the grants it sends to States.

Election Integrity 2-19-25

The cost of political campaigns is too high and supports US political corruption.  

Campaign contributions should be limited to “Voters Only”. Voters should be restricted to contribute no more than $1000 and only for candidates who appear on their ballot. This puts all candidates on an even footing and ends expensive TV “Hit Job” ads. Candidates would have enough money to provide yard signs and travel to meetings with voters to answer questions.

Candidates should be required to have a website that includes their political party, their position on issues, their education, their full work resume and full biography along with their contribution button. Election Officials would be responsible for certifying compliance before they collect the filing fee and allow the candidate to file.

Political Parties should vet all of their candidates with confirmation of their resumes and positions and certify their accuracy. Political Parties would also be responsible for providing volunteers and lawyers to monitor vote counts. Voting machines would need to be certified.  

Industry Groups and Corporations would still have access to elected officials, but would not be allowed to make campaign contributions.

Elections are controlled by States and each State would need to pass laws to include these limits. The US Congress should pass the same Campaign Finance Laws requiring all States to use the same campaign finance law in their State Constitutions.

Voters would be required to show their Drivers’ Licenses or Picture ID. Early Voting in large cities may be needed, but should be uniform and limited to 1 week.

States would be required to maintain accurate Voter Rolls and count their ballots on time and be forced to pay Federal Fines for non-compliance.

Election integrity should be required. The current state of Cyber Security still allows Bad Actors to hack our data. Our utilities and financial systems continue to be vulnerable. AI should be able to allow us to eliminate the fraudulent data and will allow us to identify valid citizens to fix fraudulent political districts to determine the number of House Members each State will get. DOGE Audits are exposing the weaknesses in our current Social Security System and their audits should allow the US to remove fraudulent data and prosecute the fraud. An accurate database of Citizens should allow the US to implement E Verify for all US employers. This will eliminate all illegals. It should end Identity Theft and Title Theft.
