DACA "Survives" Because of Judicial Tyranny

Tyranny and anarchy is ruling the day in the federal court system.

The latest ruling, this time from the federal district court in Washington DC, has ordered President Trump to reinstate the DACA program.

WHAT?

These courts are overplaying their hand, the same way that the regressive, left-wing press has gone full SJW. They had enjoyed such sweeping powers undisturbed for decades. Now that President Trump is reasserting the rule of law, now that he his Making America Great Again, now that he is expecting every acting political agent to to respect the rule of law, we have federal courts fighting as hard as they can to make themselves unconstitutionally powerful.



They don't want to let go, the same way that Chief Justice Roger Taney invalidated the Missouri Compromise and dishonored black people in Dred Scott v. Sanford. Taney and other justices would fight against Lincoln's efforts to effectively prosecute the Civil War to a civil end. They even tried to subvert his constitutional power to suspend habeas corpus during the Civil War, even though the United States Constitution permits his power to the chief executive during times of insurrection.



Lincoln fought his own party, he fought the Democratic Party, and he stood strong against an abusive judiciary that was determined to shred the foundational principles of the Declaration of Independence.

This judicial recalcitrance must be disciplined and stopped as soon as possible.

Judges are not above the law, either!

Arthur,
Earlier today, a district court in Washington, DC ruled that Trump ending DACA was wrong. Here's what you need to know:
Right now, you can still apply to renew your DACA. But if you’ve never had DACA, you cannot submit new applications at this moment. And, if your DACA expires before 2020, you should renew now. If you need help with the application, information, or covering the fee, visit renewmydaca.com and we’ll make sure you have everything you need.
If you aren’t a DACA Recipient, we need you to step up and help in two ways:
  1. At $495 per application, DACA renewals are unaffordable for many recipients. We can’t stress enough how urgent it is that we are able to cover these fees for DACA recipients who can’t afford them. That’s why we’re asking:
    Donate
  2. While the judge did call for USCIS to continue accepting DACA renewal applications, and begin accepting new DACA applications, this won’t happen until August 23. At this time, nothing has changed. We expect the Trump administration will respond before August 23rd, which could change the whole outcome of this ruling. Please help us spread the word to DACA recipients, to ensure they know to renew NOW if their DACA expires before 2020. We have a whole support guide available with everything they need at renewmydaca.com -- so share it with your networks now!
    Share DACA Information
We are here to support you and ensure that as many people as possible have what they need to renew their DACA. As soon as we have more information, or any new updates, we will email again -- so keep an eye out for our messages.
No matter what comes next, our communities are #HeretoStay and we will keep on organizing to protect one another. Thank you for being a part of this movement and this community with us.

APPEAL! APPEAL! APPEAL!

This is not going to last very long. This is not going to go very well.

Shame on this abusive, rogue judiciary. This abuse of power will not last forever.



I think that Congress should seriously consider vacating all the judicial officers in districts and circuits which routinely defy federal law and the constitutional executive power of the President, especially for political means.

The Monumental Problems Facing our Country

Business is booming. Job productivity is up. Despite the left-wing lies that coal was not coming back, miners are mining like never before. Industry is rebranding and expanding, and educational reforms are underway with Betsy DeVos and her team in the Department of Education. Trump has trumped the media yet again, refusing to cave to calls of racism or demands for an apology because he did not immediately condemn the smattering of white supremacists at the Charlottesville, Virginia rally. Why should Trump care? The race card has become so played out, and new media reports are debunking this narrative.

Instead of talking about Fat Boy Kim Jong Un backing away from his bellicose rhetoric, or the massively declining illegal immigration problem which used to overwhelmed our borders, the media are hyping up the fading White Supremacy movement and discussing whether to take down Post Civil War era monuments. Our country is fracturing, but it’s more like a necessary corrective, like a new generation of Americans breaking out of their shells. But let’s talk about the explicitly monumental problem for a few minutes.

The leaders of Baltimore, Maryland decided to remove statues in the city which commemorated Confederate soldiers, officers, etc. Honestly, it makes sense to remove these statues. These men acted in open rebellion to the United States. They explicitly defended slavery and wanted to rip the country apart. It’s no secret that Democratic lawmakers after the Civil War wanted to champion their inveterate confederates. Take them down! These statues do not represent our country or the state of Maryland.



I just read today that the Maryland State legislature decided to remove the bust of Supreme Court Justice and Maryland native Roger Taney. This man was the politically slanted Justice who decided that “Negroes are a subordinate class of human beings with no rights which a white man was bound to respect.” A Democrat and a slave owner, Taney’s temper tantrum in the 1857 Dred Scott decision further divided an already distempered country writhing over the slavery issue—one which had to be resolved by bloodshed on fields of battle all over the nation, including the streets of New York City.

Monuments are not exactly the best way to preserve our historical heritage, anyway. Nietzsche pointed out in his seminal text “The Use and Abuse of History” that monuments allow man to commemorate great deeds, but cover up the hard work and pain which major historical figures encountered to accomplish what brought them great fame. Monuments can give a community a false sense of pride. We celebrate what they did, but are we willing to fight for and defend their principles with the same vigor?

I would further submit that monuments have this inevitable tendency to enshrine what is good about someone without recognition for their failures. Why else would anyone build a monument to another, if they would have to remind the present and future community about their failings? Battles deserve to be commemorated, though, because they helped forge the values and identity of the country which they fought for. There is no greater show of devotion than a man laying down his life for his homeland. President Trump rightfully donated his salary to preserve Gettysburg. I hope that the non-stop guardians for the Unknown Solider remain vigilant.



Ultimately, monuments are about ideas, not just about the people depicted. Martin Luther King Jr. received an extended honor at the Washington Mall, even though Maya Angelou felt that one quote on the marble piece was poorly placed. It was welcome news that liberal Seattle mayor permitted the removal of a statue of Vladimir Lenin. That monument should come down! Ronald Reagan demanded that Gorbachev “Tear Down This Wall!”, a symbol of Soviet oppression. On the eve of the American Revolution, colonists tore down monuments to King George III. The Iraqis gleefully removed statues to Saddam Hussein. Following exposure of his complicity with covering up child sex abuse, Joe Paterno’s statue was also removed from Penn State. Aren’t we glad that they are gone? As new revelations manifest about the truth and error of our status as citizens, we learn more about our history and the legacies we want to celebrate. It makes sense to tear down or remove certain statues.



But won’t these sudden removals obliterate our society’s historical knowledge? What I have learned is that the harder that nefarious interests try to hide or cover up historical humiliations, the more evident they become. Adolph Hitler once quipped “Who remembers the Armenians?” referring to the 1915 genocide. The answer? The growing cohort of Armenian-Americans along with the entire nation of Armenia, and historians around the world. Holocaust denial may have reached a fevered pitch, but proof of the Holocaust has become more ample than ever.

Ultimately, The Battle of the Monuments is really the desperation of the Democratic Party and their new domestic terrorist wings (including Antifa) to undermine the President and force an ongoing narrative that Republicans, conservatives, patriots are racists, and those “racists” must prove otherwise. This line of attack is never-ending, an arrow in the quiver of Cultural Marxism to further undermine our culture of life and liberty.

Thumbs Down on Racism


If Republicans in Washington had more backbone instead of supine spine, they would applaud the removal of these Confederate monuments, reminding the country that these were all Democratic slavery sympathizers. They would also praise President Trump for standing his ground, blasting the violence on both sides at Charlottesville, particularly from the Alt-Left. Trump even predicted then condemned where this monument-bashing movement would lead to: “Are we going to take down George Washington’s statue next?” My response is an emphatic “No!” Why? Even though he did own slaves, Washington fought to establish a new country, conceived in liberty, dedicated to a political culture which would eventually set slaves free and ensure the longest-lasting constitutional republic in world history.


Republicans, not just elected officials, should follow Trump’s lead. Imagine how quickly the argument over monuments would dissipate from the national forefront.
