Mid-term elections fall of 2022 will determine if Americans are coming together

One of the major problems today is that people don't respect each other's right to "agree to disagree". Freedom of speech is at stake. 1st amendment rights are being desecrated and trampled on by our friends, family, institutions of government and others. Can you listen with tolerance and patience without hating if you can't have a meeting of the minds? This is a big problem in America. As Abraham Lincoln said as he tried to bring the country together after the Civil War which was not civil at all. "With malice toward none with charity for all" spoken in his second inaugural address for his second term as president. He wanted to bring the country together after the worst war in American history where it is estimated that over 600,000- 800,000 Union and Confederate soldiers died for t...

Is White Supremacy the Biggest Threat to America or is it White Men or Both? Says President Biden and News Anchor Don Lemon. The Numbers Tell a Different Story!

President Joe Biden said that the biggest threat to America is White supremacy. He also says that the country has systemic racism. He says it all the time but he never backs it up with the Department of Justice statistics (D.O.J.) or any data for that matter. Talk is cheap but words matter. Sometimes it gets people killed. In public service for 50 years, President Biden has aligned himself with segregationist but changes his politics whenever it is politically expedient. He has been to the inner cities of our country where minorities are murdering each other in extremely large numbers?  Cities like Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Baltimore, N.Y., L.A., mostly blue cities (Democrat cities) run by left wing leaders with no common sense; i.e. "No Bail" laws for recidivists who keep on comm...

Updated:  June 24, 2022.  In a 6-3 decision, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization overruled Roe and Casey.  Opinion of the Supreme Court 19-1392. Ameer Benno presented the case's background at the June 22 club meeting. Roe v. Wade: 410 US 113 (1973) • In a 7-2 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment provides a "right to privacy" that protects a pregnant woman's right to choose whether or not to have an abortion. • It also ruled that this right is not absolute, and must be balanced against the government's interests in protecting women's health and prenatal life. • The court tied the state's regulation of abortion to the three trimesters of pregnancy; during the first trimester, governments could not prohibit abortions at al...

Some of the things the media won’t and don’t talk about and more . Scandalous!

Some of the things the media doesn't talk about and more. Scandalous! Rev 6/21/22 President Barack Hussein Obama said and I quote "Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f... things up." Now let's see where we stand under Joe's leadership with the help of the Media. Here is a list of things that are hardly or not discussed at all in order to bolster the President of the United States, hide his mistakes and bring down his opponents.

They say nothing while China is out performing us in this area. Ameri...

The cost of clean air at any cost. Who pays for it? China Loves it.

The cost of clean air at any cost. Who pays for it? Part of the problem is that wind energy supplies us with 3% of our energy needs and solar energy supplies us with 11 %. Oil, gas and atomic energy supply the balance. Perhaps we shut down the old technology too soon when the clean technology was not ready to fill in the loss of production. We shorted ourselves 2 million barrels a day so we had to depend on other countries to fill in the loss. Some of these countries are our enemies. Basically we are putting profits in the hands of our enemies. Some refused to increase their production because due to the shortages they were making more money per barrel and getting richer by the day. The supply went down and the demand stayed stable so the prices started to go up. So we turned to o...
