Finally, the Supreme Court concludes that forcing workers that are not members of the AFSCME union to pay dues is unconstitutional since AFSCME uses the dues revenue to support
Democrat (Socialists) Party candidates. Since UNIONS have origins with Communist Karl Marx's famous phrase, "Workers of the world, unite!", it should seem obvious to freedom
seeking Americans that union membership is antithetical to the American ideal and the Constitution. Free citizens should read the facts about
government employee unions
and their political power and massive influence with employees of the subversive DEEP STATE, members of which can't be fired. The DEEP STATE remains employed after each
leadership change, and they write regulations to enforce laws anyway they want with no REAL oversight or judicial review.
Recommendations
I recommend two (2) movies for interested viewers. If Democrat voters (or any voter) want to understand what is wrong with their
party, I recommend a documentary movie that contains a completely corroborated history of the Democrat Party. The documentary's title is:
Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party. The documentary was produced by Dinesh D'Souza who was 'railroaded' by the Obama Administration into a
kangaroo court controlled by a corrupt judge and sentenced to prison for producing another documentary,
2016: Obama's America. All FACTS presented in these documentaries are the historical evidence of the failure of the Democrat Party although the Democrats have many allies that support these Communist/Socialist attempts to destroy
America, and no group of FAKE NEWS companies can deny the FACTS.
While America has a Constitution that guarantees freedom of speech, it doesn't guarantee an everyday political education. If Americans believe in their freedoms guaranteed by the
Bill of Rights, if Americans believe that Capitalism is the greatest creator of individual wealth the world has ever experienced (historical facts prove this assertion), then Americans
should know the people and organizations who want to destroy America from within. Therefore, the best documentary available that exposes and identifies these enemies who have grown
much stronger since the Russian Revolution is The Enemies Within.
Also near the end of The Enemies Within documentary, the video requests that citizens call their Senators and Representatives (those NOT affiliated with the Muslim
Brotherhood and other subversive Marxist organizations) to support
S. 68: Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2017 and
H.R. 377: Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2017.
After watching the video, you will clearly understand why the Muslim Brotherhood is trying to destroy America from within. Many current Representatives and Senators are affiliated with persons
and organizations whose precepts, behavior, and speech are as Marxist as Vladimir Lenin without identifying themselves as Marxist. One of these organizations has infiltrated America like a final
stage cancer. These un-American organizations must be excised like a massive tumor. This is NOT McCarthyism since you will SEE and UNDERSTAND the evidence presented in the video.
"The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history." —George Orwell
It�s Labor Day, so it is time once again to tell you all how bad unions are for America, especially government unions. So, on this Labor Day let�s vow to eliminate them.
What are the best jobs on average in California? Apparently being a government worker. Infuriatingly, government workers live far better, have higher salaries, retire earlier and have
better benefits than most everyone in the private sector even though, like leeches, these same government workers live off the backs of the taxpayer.
The worst of all worlds for the taxpayer is a government union. Government unions do nothing whatever for the very people paying the bills. They do not improve services, they don�t
professionalize workers, and they wildly grow the waste of tax dollars. Worse, government unions give public servants higher salaries, richer benefits, and earlier retirement dates than
the taxpayers footing the bills.
Even the patron Saint of the liberal left, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, was adamant that government workers should never be allowed to unionize. FDR thought it was
�unthinkable and intolerable� to have a government workers union.
It�s for good reason, too. Government workers do not create the profits that might help earn better benefits. Whenever government unions get raises it simply means that taxpayers
have to pay more to make up the difference.
But the bigger outrage about government unions is that they cut out the voter from having any say at all in what their own tax dollars go to pay for. When government unions negotiate
they do so with other members of government, never the very people forced to pay the bills. Government unions have the power to give themselves allotments from the public treasury
at the expense of the taxpayer yet gives those taxpayers no say at all in the matter.
Government unions could not be less democratic or less American.
The political slogan �Workers of the world, unite!�
is one of the most famous rallying cries of communism, found in The Communist Manifesto (1848), by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. A variation ("Workers of all lands, unite") is also inscribed
on Marx's tombstone
The Communist Manifesto, originally titled Manifesto of the Communist Party (German: Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei) is a short 1848 book written by the German
Marxist political theorists Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. It has since been recognized as one of the world's most influential political manuscripts.[1] Commissioned by the Communist League,
it laid out the League's purposes and program. It presents an analytical approach to the class struggle (historical and present) and the problems of capitalism, rather than a prediction of
communism's potential future forms.
Thomas Lifson recently described
some of these un-democratic riches that government workers in California have afforded themselves and the results are outrageous.
�The average full-time compensation for employees of 55 North Bay cities was $130,172 in 2013, with thousands earning more than $200,000 a year and hundreds more earning more
than $50,000 in overtime alone,� Lifson wrote. �Such compensation is significantly higher than that of peers in the private sector.�
Lifson also found that statewide the average pay for a municipal worker was over $120,000 a year.
Tell me, dear reader. Do you make $120,000 a year?
There once was a basic assumption about choosing a career in the public sector. You may never get rich because compensation is lower than in the private sector, the assumption went,
but it was a bit more likely that you would have job security because government workers don�t often lose their jobs.
But now you get a government job and you make far more than the private sector, have better benefits, and can never get fired no matter how bad you are at your job or no matter
how needless your job becomes.
This is intolerable.
The whole idea of a government union is an illegitimate notion. Government unions should never have existed in the first place and they should be eliminated going forward�yes even
for cops and teachers.
Due entirely to the corruption that is government unionism, for instance, California has a massive short fall in its government pension obligations that just in education alone soaks up
85 percent of the operating budget (and that is money stolen for kids� education).
"The percentage of private sector workers in unions has been declining since the 1950s, both because unionized businesses have been failing and because
workers in new businesses don't choose to unionize. Basically, private sector unions have been driving themselves out of business for sixty years."
"Government employee unions are a totally different animal. Government employee unions use politics as the central plank of their business plans --- unlike
private sector unions, which have far less need for politics to maintain their bottom line."
"Then, these unions keep our government inefficient by preventing it from reorganizing, streamlining, and privatizing government services, because more
efficient government would mean less union dues revenue. There will be a tipping point when our government gets so big that the last remaining taxpayers in America will no longer be able to
support the enormous cost of running our government. And we are rapidly approaching this point."
With all that said, Trump is doing his level best to fix this problem.
An article in the Washington Post cries that President Donald Trump has trimmed thousands of federal workers and cut federal budgets by millions. But let�s hope that he will fire many
tens of thousands more useless, expensive, unnecessary government workers before he is done.
So far, one year into his presidency, Donald Trump has trimmed some 16,000 federal workers, the
Post says. He has done this by telling workers that there is a freeze on their positions, he has done this by budget cuts and lay offs, he has done this by not hiring replacements for retiring
workers or workers that quit, and he has done this by letting government workers know that their gravy train has skidded to a halt causing many to quit for the private sector (or retire).
The president has also inculcated in his department heads a new era of accountability for the duties government workers perform. Trump has let it be known that merely sliding on
assuming that their job is permanent regardless of performance is over. This has caused thousands to quit their jobs because they know they cannot show that they are useful workers
turning out a necessary product.
Another way Trump has slowed the growth in government is that he hasn�t taken advantage of the power to appoint dozens of top positions within government agencies. This has put a
complete halt to more hiring. What usually happens when a new president comes to office is that he puts a load of friends and donors in these positions and then those people go on a hiring
spree to put their friends and buddies into open or soon to open federal jobs.
Further more, it is clear from the new culture Trump is instilling in the federal work force that these ideas of accountability, thrift, and cost cutting will continue for his entire four years.
This has also dampened the ardor of wasteful bureaucrats who imagined the federal gravy train would never stop gaining speed.
This is all good, of course. But I would like to see many tens of thousands more government workers fired, their pensions cut, and their benefits eliminated.
In essence, if you work for the government, you deserve to be fired. I mean that literally. I really don�t care what you do for government I think you deserve to be fired. In fact, I think
that you need to be fired to save this republic. Not only do I want you fired, I want your pension negated. You don�t deserve one.
Except for the military and other first responders, let�s get rid of them.
Surely, anyone who observes and understands current events with a background knowledge of Progressivism, Socialism, Communism, and our own failed governmental system
of Federalism can see with clarity that our current federal government since 1933 is progressing toward Socialism. Our country is a Warfare/Welfare State that is financed
and heavily regulated on the backs of companies and citizen taxpayers. The Democrats (Socialists) import illegal prospective voters from south of the border who vote illegally and
get paid by citizen taxpayers. While the U.S. fights the enemies of allies ostensibly to keep enemies from our shores, the U.S. should demand that allies defend themselves more—WWII is over.
Sell U.S. weaponry to allies that is appropriate for their current disputes or skirmishes with enemies and provide training if necessary. See How to Make America Great Again.
Obviously, something must be done about:
our CONgress' insolvent spending behavior, and
our career politicians (limit 12yrs), lifetime court appointees (limit 12yrs), and
require federal employees to contribute 65% with government 35% for retirement pension savings, 50%/50% for health insurance, and
the
Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 didn't REFORM anything. It created the
Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), and
the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA), and all of these
bureaucracies are corrupted by unions since most employees of bureaucracies are union members,
and therefore, all venues for appeal of termination should be condensed into one, independent, non-government, private, non-profit organization that uses the very latest technology to
evaluate all appeals of termination and renders a FINAL opinion. Politics, sexual or any other harassment, skills deficit, abrasive personality are all reasons for termination or not and would be considered in
deliberations. Government CANNOT investigate itself objectively, and
prohibit all government employee union activities on the job, i.e., if union activity, then must occur in union meetings off-site in union buildings only, and
our bogus immigration laws, e.g., Chain Migration,
Visa Lottery, Catch & Release, bogus claims of Entrepreneurship, and phony Asylum requests must be repealed, and
our current Illegal Aliens should be arrested, photographed, printed, DNA-sampled, and deported. Two-time offenders should be incarcerated, and
The propensity to violence is not caused by poverty alone, but, in the case of Mexico in particular and the Southern Hemisphere in general, there is a
history of violence as far back as Cortez and the Spanish Conquistadores. Before the Spanish, Incas in Central and South America and the Aztecs in
Mexico were very violent. With Mexico, in particular, the Aztecs and their religion were very violent. Today, Mexican drug cartels ravage Mexico with
their lawless grip on Mexicans. It is no wonder that Illegal Aliens bring violence to America. Today and throughout history, religions of all flavors are
the primary cause of violence throughout the world and its history.
our universities' policies of tenure for professors should have an end-date for non-productive professors, and
our "gun free zones" must be eliminated, and Concealed Carry Reciprocity (includes training) must be the law of the land so that "maniac shooters" can be stopped
immediately, and
our government(s) must fully support the Constitution including 1st and 2nd Amendments subject to sanction (California), and
our Federal Reserve (Keynesian economics) that consistently causes recessions or exacerbates the normal boom-bust business cycle, and
our Income Tax that should be replaced with a Sales Tax requiring a 75% majority in CONgress to increase the tax percent. Income Tax is
PUNISHMENT for SUCCESS. A sales tax paid by consumers only taxes consumption. Since no citizen would pay income tax, then only consumption
is taxed. Untaxed companies would have more money to lower prices. Citizens would have more money to pay the sales tax and school tuition. Maybe citizens would prefer saving over
buying?
Freedom is a black-or-white, yes-or-no, either/or, zero-sum proposition. There are no gray areas or lukewarmness when it comes to freedom.
But the concept of freedom of the individual, or individual liberty, has been shoved down the memory hole and replaced by a popular mentality
of diminishing the individual and independent thinker to a collectivist mind (mentality) which can be esoterically swayed, directed and channeled against his own best interest. The virtue
and sanctity of the individual person and ego is no more, and anathema to the state.
What does it all mean? It means that a state of mind is developed and nurtured that freely gives oneself and one�s production to the state. Each
individual, in order to be a good citizen of the state, must contribute most of his means and be grateful for the services the state returns — whether they are necessary or useful or not.
The result is that even so-called conservatives have come to not only accept socialism but to embrace it in many forms. Oh, they�ll reject it when
it�s called what it is, as conservatives have chimed in to reject and ridicule proposals by self-avowed socialists like Bernie Sanders and the new communist darling Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
But they readily accept socialism in its many forms, especially when it�s proposed by socialists masquerading as Republicans.
A new Congress has been seated, and it brings the prospect of perhaps, maybe, potentially, in a possible way doing something about the runaway federal deficits. And in other news, several New York area bridges are for sale, which you can acquire at a bargain price.
Excessive Spending Destroys!
Feds Have a Spending Problem — DO NOT RAISE THE CEILING!
Feds Have a Sewage Problem!
DEBT PERSPECTIVE!
Social Security (SS) monies flow into the Feds via paycheck withholding. The Feds buy
US Treasuries and the Bond purchase money is deposited into the treasury. Benefit money
must therefore be paid out of the Treasury. If there had been a SS brokerage account
(instead of the Feds spending it), the monies could have been invested very conservatively
to receive a modest 5-8% annual return on investment and the SS "Trust" Fund would
be solvent even with retiring baby-boomers. Another mismanagement failure is SS Disability
which has been defrauded by mendacious citizen malingerers especially from 2000 to 2016.
James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Rod Rosenstein, Peter Strzok, Bruce Ohr and wife, Lisa Page, and Hillary Clinton
SHOULD BE CHARGED AND TRIED for their violations!

Joseph Story, Supreme Court Justice ... when the court wasn't part of the L-E-J Cabal
Joseph Story (1779�1845) was born during the American Revolution, and came of age in the early years of the new United States of America. He was a scholar of the U.S. Constitution, and, eventually helped found the Harvard Law School.
In 1811, Story was appointed to the Supreme Court by President James Madison � who knew a few things about the U.S. Constitution, in that he helped write it. Story was a contemporary of another famous member of the Supreme Court, Chief Justice John Marshall (1755�1835).
"The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them."

[Editor's Note: what I have dubbed the "Legislative-Executive-Judicial Cabal" which the American People have caused by ignoring the generational transition from our Constitutional Republic to what now is, in effect, an "elected" dictatorship. Never mind who is elected. Never mind which bogus party is in power. The superficial, theatrically staged, choreographed appearance of debate, disagreement, and stalled legislation always resolves into more government and less FREEDOM. We the People still lose more freedom after every "emergency" or unnoticeably when CON-gress passes another general, open-ended law that enables the Executive (dictator) and its unaccountable agencies to formulate more freedom-restricting regulations (200 pages a day get posted to the Federal Register). The "Dictator's" agencies (police force) continue to pile-up more weapons to squelch uprising(s) when the People finally realize and understand their tyrannical government.
Currently, CONgress is just a group of socialists, progressives, and faux-conservatives (career politicians) that, on a daily basis, ignores the Constitution, many of their own past statutes, and cedes their responsibilities to the president ("elected" dictator). A comparison to the history of Rome becomes more and more credible with the Executive and its "featherbedded" lackeys gaining more power while CONgress sits back all fat-dumb-and-happy.
CONgress has made recent efforts to expose State Dept. failures in Benghazi (inept political leader), Fast-and-Furious gun-running (criminal AG), IRS 1st amendment violations, gov't union Veterans Administration fraud, and whining about Obama(Reid)-killer-Care, but these efforts are mostly politics as usual. Most "citizens" will forget about these infringements from our unaccountable, uncontrollable Executive branch with its tyrannical agencies staffed by socialist unions that extort "juicy" contracts from the "elected" dictatorship.
Most positions in the federal government whether elected, appointed, or hired are nominal, make-work jobs (confidentially) designed merely to grow government, bilk money from private businesses and citizens, and eventually fully transform America into a totalitarian state. When this happens, CONgress will have destroyed the economy and the country by their negligence and counter-liberty policies, and it will be almost impossible to Restore America. The 'Restore America' list is only a beginning too.]
"The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny."
James Madison, Federalist Paper 47, Friday, February 1, 1788

[Editor's Note: a Constitutional Convention is required to reverse the damage to freedom and liberty since 1900. This Article V was ratified by the participants at America's founding Constitutional Convention as an alternate path for repairing damage to freedom and liberty, a path for the People to restore damage caused by our failed representatives in the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches of a government designed to represent the wishes of We the People.
The States must "demand" a Convention and explicitly specify an agenda of:
laws to be repealed or modified,
Amendments to existing constitutional clauses that define the co-equal branches to further specify and define, and
new Amendments or statutes to be eventually ratified by States.
These Amendments should further specify and clarify the powers of the Legislature and Executive Branches. A good example is the definition of a "Bill".
A Bill should contain ONLY verbiage in regards to the topic of the future law. NO earmarks and NO unrelated sections or attacments.
Many past Bills sent to a president for signature contained unrelated but essential funding sections that rendered the Bill veto-proof when it warranted a veto.
CON-gress can override a veto if the Bill is deemed absolutely necessary by CON-gress.
If the Bill requires SPECIFICALLY related amendments, the CON-gress can "debate" (with its usual theater) and vote any new amendments.
The original text of the Constitution contains some very GENERAL clauses enabling both CON-gress and Executive branches to write laws and
regulations with their particular nuances expanding powers beyond intent. "Intent" may be gleaned from a complete understanding of
Federalist Papers.
An example of further specification and clarity for CON-gress should be a clear, very specific definition of the boundaries for the interstate Commerce Clause.
To restore freedom, liberty, and individuality - minimally these must be repealed:
Currently, even with computer-searching systems, the list of antiquated and/or obsolete statutes (and related regulations) is unwieldy.
These statutes must be invalidated unless there remains an applicable reason for retaining the law(s).
Aside from invalidating statutes, there are many regulations that are biased in favor of large enterprises (who buy support from bureaucrats)
at the expense of the competition, effectively repressing the Free Market. Any regulations not related to public safety that gives a financial advantage
to some companies over their smaller rivals must be rescinded to enable all companies with good consumer products to excel without burdensome regulations.
Additionally, the Convention should adopt for ratification at least these new Amendments or statute modifications:
clearly define and limit the role of government in regards to the term "general welfare",
Term Limits for CON-gress (12 years) including a 6 month limit on time residing in DC,
strict Prohibition of Lobbying (with a comprehensive definition of "lobbying"), and
a Balanced Budget Amendment to stop wreckless spending. During a CON-gressionally declared "war" (only after USA is attacked or attack is proven "imminent"),
deficit spending is permissible.
Restore America to its roots, i.e. Defense, State, Treasury, and Justice. Some Agencies are required like CIA and NSA, both respectively focused on defense against real foreign aggressors and not fictitious paranoid delusions of war mongers. Other agencies help where certain interstate communications are necessary. Most agencies like Agriculture, Education, DEA, IRS (eliminated with 16th Amendment) and many other listed here should be eliminated.
Restore the world Gold Standard with five contentious steps, and
Replace the IMF, World Bank, and Export-Import Bank with facilities that reflect the new Gold Standard, and
After decentralizing and economizing, if tax revenue is needed to fund all or part of the federal government, then implement the Fair Tax.
Regarding a Constitutional Convention itself, some of the available literature warns the reader about a possible "unstructured" and "mismanaged"
Convention that might propose and adopt amendments that could damage the Republic.
Possible, however, it is difficult to envisage how much more damage could done over what the L-E-J Cabal has already done.
If the Convention's agenda and rules of order strictly prohibit violation of the rules and enable a vote on unlisted Amendments AFTER all others are adopted,
then the Convention will be properly structured and managed. ]
The FairTax is a consumption tax unilaterally applied to all Americans at the same rate. For businesses, payroll taxes would no longer exist. Our exports would include a heavy tax for overseas buyers purchasing our products, while our imports would be cheaper for us to purchase. I'm not sure how this would affect GDP, as more information is necessary.
According to the FairTax website, "Under the FairTax, every person living in the United States pays a sales tax on purchases of new goods and services, excluding necessities due to the prebate." The prebate gives every legal resident household an "advance refund" at the beginning of each month so that purchases made up to the poverty level are tax-free.
So a family of four making something like $50,000/year should not have to pay taxes, thus preventing an unfair burden on low-income families. Since the FairTax eliminates both federal and payroll taxes, you get to keep your gross pay amount of each paycheck earned.
John Adams said, �Without [term limits] every man in power becomes a ravenous beast of prey�. That being said, here are some of the reasons we believe our country needs Term Limits.
Term Limits can help break the cycle of corruption in Congress. Case studies show that the longer an individual stays in office, the more likely they are to stop serving the public and begin serving their own interests.
Term Limits will encourage regular citizens to run for office. Presently, there is a 94% re-election rate in the House and 83% in the Senate. Because of name recognition, and usually the advantage of money, it can be easy to stay in office. Without legitimate competition, what is the incentive for a member of Congress to serve the public? Furthermore, it is almost a lost cause for the average citizen to try to campaign against current members of Congress.
Term Limits will break the power special interest groups have in Congress.
Term Limits will force politicians to think about the impact of their legislation because they will be returning to their communities shortly to live under the laws they enacted.
Term Limits will bring diversity of people and fresh ideas to Congress.
[Editor's Note: If you want to get rich, i.e. advance from a low paying government bureaucrat job on the local or state level, THEN GET ELECTED TO THE US CONGRESS (House or Senate). Once you're elected, it's easy to steal from your campaign contributions or the Congressional budget allocated to your seat and staff. You can go on a government-funded junket with 'lavishly' paid expenses. The list of ways to steal from the government while in office is inexhaustible. There are only a few Congressmen who left Congress just wealthy instead of a multi-millionaire. Of course, there are several who arrived in Congress as multi-millionaires and don't need to steal from the government.]
