Birthright Citizenship: It's About The Law, Not Mob Rule | Investor's Business Daily:

After all, the 14th Amendment to the Constitution clearly establishes birthright citizenship as the law of the land. Right?
Not so fast.
The 14th Amendment came about as a result of the Civil War. America's slaves needed to have not just their freedom, but citizenship, too. So the 14th Amendment conferred citizenship on former slaves and their children. It also gave citizenship to the first inhabitants of our continent. In one magnificent swoop, "natives" and former slaves both became Americans.

‘I’ll Never Be the Same’: My Ukrainian Wife’s First Trip to the United States
KYIV, Ukraine—How do you measure America’s greatness?
By the size of its economy, or the strength of its military?
By the height of its city skylines, or the audacity of the moon landings?
Perhaps, by the heroism of the Marines who landed on Iwo Jima, or of the Army soldiers who landed on Omaha Beach?
Maybe. 
But America’s greatness is not always measured like in the movies or a campaign speech. 
Sometimes, an anonymous act of gratitude is proof enough, even if we, as Americans, don’t always see it that way.
In August, my wife, Lilya, and I were at dinner in Geyserville, California, with my younger brother, Drew, and his girlfriend, Gabrielle.
We’d been wine tasting all afternoon and had rounded off the day with a few cocktails to boot. Feeling a bit loosened up, my brother and I, as is our habit, slipped into a familiar topic of conversation—the war in Afghanistan.
You see, both Drew and I are U.S. military veterans. 
And, naturally, we get to talking about our wartime experiences whenever we’re together. 
Often a bit too loudly, as Lilya and Gabrielle gently suggested on that night in Geyserville.
In any case, as we wrapped up dinner and asked for the check, the waitress informed us that someone had already paid our bill. 
We asked who this person was, but he or she had already left, the waitress explained.
“They asked me to tell you, ‘Thank you for your service,’” she said.
My brother and I were speechless. 
It is, after all, all too easy to assume the country has moved on and forgotten about our wars when so many of the things that divide us seem to occupy so much of the news.
On the walk back to the hotel that night, my wife, who is Ukrainian, told me, “I’m so shocked and impressed. I’ve never seen such a kind gesture by a stranger. It was magnificent.”
I was moved by the gesture, too. But it wasn’t the first time someone in America had bought me a drink for being a veteran. 
What I didn’t immediately understand is that from my wife’s point of view, it was a singularly unprecedented, characteristically American, display of gratitude..."

Michigan's 3 Statewide Propositions

SOS - Information for Voters
How to advise your friends and family on how to analyze Michigan's 3 statewide Proposals.

(Full proposal language at SOS link https://www.michigan.gov/sos/0,4670,7-127-1633_8716---,00.html )

Very important point: 

These proposals will change our Michigan Constitution. 

If approved, they can only be changed by a 75% vote of the Michigan state house AND senate. Or another statewide proposal to repeal. 

Prop 1.    18-1---A proposed initiated law to authorize and legalize possession, use and cultivation       of   marijuana products by individuals who are at least 21 years of age and older, and

         commercial sales of marijuana through state-licensed retailers

·       The 2 major benefits offered by proponents have been proven to be false. "The proposal… 1)Will reduce the arrests and imprisonment for marijuana related crimes. 2) Will generate additional tax revenue for the state/schools/roads etc."

A. The Colorado experience refutes these promises. Arrests and penalties have dramatically increased. There were few arrests before the new law but violations such as tax evasion, allowing minor's use, illegal storage, transportation, etc. are skyrocketing. And an ever-growing list of new laws/regulations have been a boon to lawyers and those who love gigantic, metastasizing government. State, county and local.

B. While tax revenue has risen, it is outpaced by the rapid expansion of government programs to combat and educate those who are using and abusing the drug. The promise of net additional money is a lie.

Would you vote for this proposal if you knew the promises were fake?

Vote "No"!

   Prop 2.   18-2--- A proposed constitutional amendment to establish a commission of citizens with        exclusive authority to adopt district boundaries for the Michigan Senate, Michigan House of      Representatives and U.S. Congress, every 10 years

·       Given the enormous cost of winning an election and the financial clout of most elective offices, these "randomly selected" 13 will have so much power they will be subject to criminal bribery and/or threats.

Guaranteed.

There is too much money and power at stake.

A "randomly selected" group with no experience will have total power to redistrict our entire state?

This is an invitation for criminals and vote stealers.

Imagine the political mafia dealing with naive, average folks.

Imagine the threats to those "picked" who have expressed politically incorrect views.

Imagine promises of "jobs" for family members.

Imagine "financial incentives" that just might crop us if the commission simply moved a district line by a few blocks?

And it only takes 7 members to make a majority.

What could possibly go wrong?

Would you vote to give this level of unaccountable power to 7 average Michigan citizens?

Our current system empowers Michigan voters to elect those who will redistrict. This scheme takes voters out of the equation.

 Vote "No"!

Prop 3.   18-3---A proposal to authorize automatic and Election Day voter registration, no-reason absentee voting, and straight ticket voting; and add current legal requirements for military and overseas voting and post-election audits to the Michigan Constitution

·       Many facets to this proposal but voter registration with "proof of residency" instead of "proof of citizenship" disenfranchises all legally registered voters. 

      We won't know. 
      It invites massive vote fraud.

And this proposal encourages the totally new registration and voting on Election Day itself! With no time to confirm the "residency".

Typically, "proof of residency" can require only a copy of a utility bill. In anyone's name. Not necessarily in the name of the person attempting to register to vote.

What could possibly go wrong?

No citizenship will be required to vote in Michigan. Ever!

Do you want non-citizens voting on the laws you must live by?

Do you want a system that encourages "ghost voters" to stuff your ballot boxes?

Arguably, the most damaging proposal ever to be voted on by Michigan citizens.

Vote "No"!

You ought to know!

Congress to take up 10 percent tax cut for the middle class next year: Trump, Brady - Washington Times:

President Trump and Rep. Kevin Brady said Wednesday that they intend to pursue an additional 10 percent tax cut for the middle class once the new Congress convenes in January.
Mr. Trump had said earlier this month that he’d like to push for the additional tax cut in the coming weeks, and that he wanted Congress to vote on it after the midterm elections.

Disturbingly, far-left activists have in recent months become more brazenly militant and violent in their rhetoric on their websites and social media, as PJ Media has documented here, here, here, here, and here.
The author of the Incendiary News piece, Ulrike Salazar, likens Border Patrol agents to SS troops who "take away young boys and girls, tear apart families, throw away undesirables into dark and cramped dungeons."

Presence of doormen at U. Virginia frat party entrance deemed 'racist' - The College Fix

"Two organizations at the University of Virginia have “apologized for and denounced” alleged “blatant discrimination and violence” that took place at a fraternity house party on Saturday evening.
Any “violence,” however, appears to be merely symbolic in nature.

...So … what precisely is the issue?

The Daily reports that “according to the statement, SHHO and I.M.P. members made ‘numerous attempts’ to follow these norms, but were met with ‘resistance’ from fraternity members.”
What does this even mean? 

...However, consider how they word this beef:
“IFC fraternities at U.Va. are often predominantly white, and photos that circulated online appeared to show several white men guarding the entrance to the party, creating what some people viewed as an unwelcoming environment for minority students” (emphasis added).
Ah. 

The ‘ol “some people viewed” gripe..."

If you'd like to be the smartest person at your next cocktail party by knowing the truth about the 14th Amendment, this is the column for you!
...How could anyone -- even a not-very-bright person -- imagine that granting citizenship to the children of illegal aliens is actually in our Constitution?
...The Supreme Court has stated -- repeatedly! -- that the "main object" of the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment "was to settle the question ... as to the citizenship of free negroes," making them "citizens of the United States and of the state in which they reside."
...Give me a scenario -- just one scenario -- where the post-Civil War amendments would be intended to grant citizenship to the kids of Chinese ladies flying to birthing hospitals in California, or pregnant Latin Americans sneaking across the border in the back of flatbed trucks..."

As China's economy modernized, the U.S. bet political liberalization would follow.
International integration would moderate China's Communists and a democracy focused on internal development and peaceful economic competition would emerge.
So much for optimism.
The Communist dictatorship opted for imperial territorial expansion, most overtly in the South China Sea. 
However, its territorial aspirations in the Himalayas and the East China Sea are also aggressive..."

Al Roker takes a dig at Megyn Kelly after his decision to dress as a white character for Halloween | Daily Mail Online

Al Roker takes a dig at Megyn Kelly after his decision to dress as a white character for Halloween 
"Al Roker responded to outrage over his Halloween costume on Wednesday with a statement that took aim at Megyn Kelly.

A number of people on social media voiced their belief that Roker dressing as the character of Dr. Emmett Brown from Back to the Future was offensive and hypocritical because the fictional character is portrayed by a white man in the film.

Roker responded to these comments on Twitter by stating: 'I’m going to say this one last time, but the folks who get it, understand and the ones who DON’T, won’t. I can be Doc Brown, and I wear the outfit and wig and not change my skin color if you’re white , you can be President Obama if you want. Just don’t color your skin!'...

Revoking birthright citizenship would enforce the Constitution

Revoking birthright citizenship would enforce the Constitution
"President Trump’s comments are not even set to air until this weekend, but already they have created a firestorm of commentary, most of it ill-informed.
It is not “within the president’s power to change birthright citizenship,”...or so the argument goes.
...That view has given rise to the cottage industry known as “birth tourism.” 
Worse, under this view, citizenship is automatic even if the parents overstay their visas and become illegally present in the United States. 
Worse still, such citizenship is automatic for children born of parents who were never lawfully present in the United States in the first place.
...It rewards lawlessness, undermining the rule of law. 
It deprives Congress of its constitutional authority to determine naturalization power..."

Electronic Committee of Public Safety Sends Megyn Kelly to Virtual Guillotine | National Review
"Modern-day Robespierres send counterrevolutionaries to the virtual chopping block. 
They should recall his fate.
Celebrities, politicians, and almost anyone of influence and wealth are always an incorrect or insensitive word away from the contemporary electronic guillotine. 
Regardless of the circumstances of their dilemmas, the beheaded rarely win sympathy from the mob. 

Coliseum-like roars of approval greet their abrupt change of fortune from their past exalted status.
So, for example, perhaps few feel sorry for anchor Megyn Kelly, recently all but fired by NBC and now walking away with most of her $69 million salary package as a severance payout.
Kelly was let go ostensibly for making a sloppy but not malicious morally equivalent comparison between whites at Halloween dressing up in costumes as blacks, and blacks likewise appearing as whites. 
But she sealed her fate by uttering the historically disparaging word “black face” as some sort of neutral bookend to her use of “white face.”... 
...Had Kelly been unapologetically progressive (especially one deemed vital to the cause), like 

• Elizabeth Warren, who fabricated and profited from an entire minority identity, then she might well have survived the incident. 
• Perhaps had she been a minority, such as Sarah Jeong, and written (rather than spoken off the cuff) far more racially offensive things about whites, she would have kept her job — as did Jeong on the New York Times editorial board after her racist tweets surfaced, such as this, from 2014: “Dumbass f****** white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants.”

Instead, Kelly was hauled to the electronic guillotine in a now familiar routine..."
