Worthless & Traitorous Republicans

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Why can’t republicans get anything done?  They are completely worthless. We the people should fire them and we would, but we can’t. Republicans hold majorities in the House and Senate plus the White House. Nothing gets done. Even the Save Act which is common sense legislation is stalled in the august upper chamber. Why?  Thune is a traitor to his home state and to the American people. He must be compromised. Does someone have pictures of him?  Is he taking bribes?  Is he a closet democrat that hates the will of the people?

In every legitimate poll passing a law to secure our elections is highly favored, even among democrats. Including African Americans and Hispanics. To be against this bill determines your patriotism. Rule of law and free and fair elections mandate only citizens of the United States be allowed to vote in elections.

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, passed by the House, was first introduced by Texas Republican Chip Roy.

It would require anyone registering to vote to prove they are U.S. citizens using a passport or birth certificate. The GOP would like to attach it to one of the government funding bills being considered in Congress, but Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says it’s a non-starter if it comes to a vote in the upper chamber.

These morons who tell us it is voter suppression or that minorities won’t be able to prove their citizenship are liars. Prove me wrong. Not passing this bill and vocally standing against passage, proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are a crooked politician. Case closed. Pass the bill!!

Remember the main reason for having an open border policy under Biden, was to guarantee a new voting block for the democrats.  An underclass that would be beholding to the democratic welfare benefits in exchange for their vote.

Final point. Trump, it’s time to use your political capital. Get these guys in the oval office and read them the riot act!  Give ‘em a flash of the notorious Trump temper! This is a test of your ability to govern, after all  Mr. President you endorsed the leadership in Congress. Thune is your guy. Remember?

Cheating and lying come as easily as breathing for the “UniParty” in D.C., isn’t it time to put an end to their chicanery? We the People!

Action point:

Call Sen. Thune and voice your disapproval now!

Lawmakers and Christians Unite In Prayer For America

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Lawmakers, christians, Pastors and CEOs gathered this past week in D.C. to call for repentance and prayer for our nation. We are facing a serious spiritual battle over our country.  Not only have we lost a fear (reverence) of God, we are openly rebelling against what has always been the moral norm in society.  Our churches have become a moral quagmire with erroneous doctrines being preached as truth. Our governmental officials are doing not the “will of the people,” but for their own greed and lust for power.   Hanging on to the lust for power until they crumble and fall from failing health right before our eyes.  

Our battle is spiritual.  As believers we hold the key to the renewal of the United States and the world.  God is not finished with us, but time is running out.  It is time to put off our notions of greatness, humble ourselves, and ask the Lord Jesus Christ to forgive us our corporate sins, and bring a newness and renewal to our nation.  

WE are in need of forgiveness, repentance and a turning back to the Judeo-Christian values that made America the envy of the world.  God has blessed us to the extent that, IMO we think we are above retribution for a Holy God!  God is not mocked, “for whatsoever a man or nation sows, they shall also reap.”  God have mercy upon us.  Forgive us and restore us….Amen!  Rh

Below is a list of 20 so called republicans who voted to send billions to illegals in Welfare funding. Wonder why people think our government is evil. It is. Good case in point. What I find interesting is that good ole buddy of Trump Graham of S.C. Is on the list. Crooked, dirty, compromised? I select compromised, after all we have heard for years of his “proclivities;” of claiming he is something that he isn’t. I think you all know what I mean. Anyway, why do the citizens of these states continue to send people like this back the Senate? And Thune, got a thumbs up from Trump to lead the Republicans in the Senate. I am starting to wonder why Trump continues his outlandish and stupefying endorsements. Rh

Conservative lawmakers recently unveiled a budget bill containing numerous pro-life policies with a full defund of Big Abortion organizations – including Planned Parenthood.

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

The Republican Study Committee’s (RSC) budget blueprint was unveiled on Jan. 8 by RSC Chairman August Pfluger (R-TX) and Budget and Spending Task Force Chair Beth Van Duyne (R-TX). Titled “Restoring America’s Golden Age,” it contains proposals to beef up border security, cut wasteful spending, reform entitlement programs and increase American energy production.

The budget provides a “comprehensive fiscal roadmap that balances the federal budget within ten years, and returns spending to pre-pandemic levels.”

The budget also contains numerous pro-life policies. It “ensures Planned Parenthood no longer benefits from taxpayer dollars” and “completely eliminates Title X Family Planning funding to save the lives of countless innocent children.”

According to an RSC press release, the budget focuses on “making the American Dream affordable again” by:

  • Restoring the American dream of homeownership.
  • Delivering healthcare freedom and lower drug prices.
  • Reducing energy bills and gasoline prices.
  • Rebuilding the American family by eliminating marriage penalties, supporting stay-at-home parents and eviscerating radical gender ideology.
  • Cutting wasteful government spending.
  • Codifying President Trump’s executive orders.

“At its core, the RSC Budget is a fundamental rejection of the excessive government spending and regulatory overreach that characterized the Biden Administration’s approach to government,” the RSC budget reads.

The RSC is a congressional caucus of conservative members in the U.S. House of Representatives. It was formed in 1973 by Paul Weyrich and others to help advance conservative priorities and check the House’s Republican leadership, which they saw as too moderate. Currently 188 congressmen are members of the RSC.

Additionally, the budget supports multiple pro-life bills and priorities, including:

  • Rep. Warren Davidson’s (R-OH) bill, the Aid Accountability Act, which would eliminate funding for any federal employee or non-governmental organization violating the Helms Amendment, which prohibits the use of any U.S. foreign aid to perform or encourage abortion.
  • Rep. Chip Roy’s (R-TX) bill, the No Taxpayer Funding for the U.N. Population Fund, which would prohibit any federal agency from giving taxpayer dollars to the U.N. Population Fund – which has supported China’s population-control programs, including forced abortions and sterilizations.
  • Rep. Eric Burlison’s (R-MO) bill, the Life at Conception Act, which would recognize unborn children as “persons” under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.
  • Rep. Mark Harris’ (R-NC) bill, the Teleabortion Prevention Act, which would make it a federal offense for doctors to send abortion pills through the mail.
  • Rep. Mike Kelly’s (R-PA) bill, the Heartbeat Protection Act, which would prohibit abortions when a baby’s heartbeat is detected.
  • Rep. Ann Wagner’s (R-MO) bill, the Born-Alive Survivor’s Protection Act, which would ensure medical protections for babies who survive an attempted abortion.

The budget blueprint provides a roadmap for a second reconciliation bill in the 119th Congress. Republicans utilized the reconciliation process last year to enact the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), which President Donald J. Trump signed into law on July 4.

The reconciliation process, a budget maneuver provided for under the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, allows a budget bill to be passed with only a majority vote (51 votes) in the Senate, rather than the usually required three-fifths majority.

The OBBBA contained a provision defunding Big Abortion organizations – including Planned Parenthood – of all taxpayer dollars, costing the nation’s largest abortion mill roughly $850 million. However, the provision lasts only for one year.

“With so much of President Trump’s America First agenda still to enact,” the RSC added, “failing to seize this opportunity would be political malpractice.”

“The first reconciliation bill launched America’s Golden Age through economic and security reforms. The next reconciliation bill should focus on cementing the progress we’ve made on affordability in order to restore the American Dream for every family.”

Not every provision of the RSC’s proposal will be retained as the budget process moves forward. Nevertheless, it’s greatly encouraging that the RSC budget contains so many strong pro-life provisions.

Let’s hope and pray that if the House and Senate pass a second reconciliation bill later this year, Big Abortion providers will be defunded – again.

Pro-Family Coalition Urges Executive Order To Protect Religious Freedom Of Christian Parents

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

A pro-family, pro-child coalition urged the Trump administration this week to issue an executive order protecting parental rights and the religious freedom of Christian parents and foster parents.

The proposed order, which the coalition workshopped with the White House Domestic Policy Council on Wednesday, would:

  • Explicitly affirm parents’ constitutional right to raise their children according to their religious beliefs.
  • Repeal federal foster care rules preventing or obstructing people who affirm biological sex from becoming foster parents.
  • Prohibit organizations from using federal funds to remove children from parents who do not affirm same-sex attraction or sexual identity confusion.
  • Remove federal funding from organizations which help children conceal sexual identity confusion from their parents.

These four recommendations would prevent federal and state governments from unconstitutionally withholding adoption and foster care licenses from Christians or taking children with sexual identity confusion away from loving, Christian parents.

States like Colorado, Massachusetts, Vermont, Oregon, Washington and Californiarequire prospective foster parents to affirm a child’s same-sex attraction and sexual identity confusion.

In 2024, the Department of Health and Human Services released regulations giving progressive, “gender affirming” foster care placement organizations privileged status over biology-affirming ones.

Policies like these prevent people like Jessica Bates, Bryan and Rebecca Gantt, Brian and Katy Wuoti and Mike and Kitty Burkes from fostering or adopting some of the estimated 400,000 children in the U.S. foster care system.

Parents in many states can also lose custody of their children for failure to affirm their same-sex attraction or sexual identity confusion.

The Indiana Department of Child Services took custody of Mary and Jeremy Cox’s 16-year-old son after the couple refused to affirm his “transgender identity.” A court eventually found the Cox’s had not abused their son — but the state never gave him back.

He remained in the department’s care to receive treatment for an eating disorder which had worsened while he was away from home.

The Coxes are just one of innumerable heartbreaking examples of state agencies taking children from loving parents who affirm biological. Erin Friday, one of the coalition leaders who met with the White House on Wednesday, says the number of families in this situation far exceeds most people’s expectations.

“The public is unaware that children are being kidnapped by child protective services and family judges because these cases are usually sealed or there are confidentiality laws that prevent parents from going public,” she told The Daily Signal.

Christian parents need not have their child taken to suffer under child protective agencies’ scrutiny.

Erin Lee received an unexpected visit from the Colorado Department of Human Services after she tried to hold her daughter’s public school accountable for secretly teaching gender ideology.

“We managed to evade losing our children that day, but I’ve met many parents who weren’t so lucky,” Lee, who eventually saved her daughter from damaging sexual identity confusion, told the Daily Wire.

She continued: “I also had a six-year-old and an infant at the time and I shudder to think that I could have lost all three of my kids for being a good parent, for being unwilling to lie to my daughter and send her down a path of self-hatred and destruction.”

Laws and policies penalizing Christian parents and prospective foster parents for questioning “gender affirming care” are increasingly ludicrous given the mounting evidence proving sex-rejecting procedures harm minors.

The Department of Health and Human Services’ own, peer-reviewed report found “transgender” medical interventions — including puberty blockers, wrong-sex hormones and surgeries — pose “significant, long term and too often ignored” harms to children.

It’s about time America’s foster care systems reflect reality.

It is time to return to Biblical and moral values in America. We were founded on religious freedom and no blue state socialists who wishes to destroy the family unit and push immorality should be allowed to do so. Protect religious freedom and pro life, Mr President. That is what I voted for and what you said you would do! Rh

Fake Conservatives

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Excellent post on X by David Limbaugh, brother of the late Rush Limbaugh. This has always been my concerns as well. Please take a read. Rh

David Limbaugh 

I try not to make politics personal too often (though I know I sometimes fail). But one thing that gets under my skin is people who either a) pretended to be conservative and cultivated a wide following and then dramatically changed their tune, or b) were ACTUALLY conservative and later changed — without admitting they’ve changed but instead still claim the conservative banner under which to peddle their new poison. This confuses the H out of their naive or ignorant followers and damages the conservative brand and long-respected conservative institutions.

A particularly egregious version of this is when purportedly conservative Christians now promote (overtly or subtly) antisemitism, and slander Israel – often denying their animus and saying their focus is purely based on disagreements with Israeli policies and actions. Many of these people have also adopted and advocated some utterly bizarre historical and political opinions apart from antisemitism, which causes even further confusion.

I’ll add that many of the people doing this, as part of a cynical calculation, are playing to younger audiences and those with grievances and looking for someone to blame. Common sense, tradition, and especially the Bible frown upon corrupting, confusing or leading youth astray. I could cite the Scriptures but the cynics would just say they’re not applicable to this situation – and they can believe that all they want.

So much of this has become personal. And those of us defending conservatism and standing up for the Jewish people are not the ones who have made this personal. I don’t apologize for being personally repulsed by what’s going on.

I leave open the possibility that some purveyors of this toxicity may actually be out of their minds or unwittingly under evil influences (though the latter’s hard to believe), but even if that’s the case, they deserve to be called out too. The stakes are too high. We have a country to save. We have values in which we believe and try to live by. These are strong, bright red lines we must draw.

As to those to whom any of the above applies, why don’t you just admit you have animus for Israel and/or Jews? Why don’t you admit you have become political liberals in the name of conservatism? If you’ll just come out in the open and admit who you are and what you’re about, we can fight you openly and the public can make informed choices. I happen to believe truth and decency will win in the end, but first we need to call out the deceit.

Sorry if this sounds harsh, but it’s the way I see much of what’s going on “inside” the conservative movement.

Trump’s effusive praise for PM part of strategy to keep disagreements private — sources

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

December 31, 2025

Source: The Times of Israel

US President Donald Trump is intent on avoiding a public spat with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, even when there are gaps between the pair on key policies regarding the Middle East, a US official and a Republican source familiar with the matter told The Times of Israel on Tuesday.

Trump currently believes that public disagreements with Netanyahu will serve neither his political nor strategic interests, particularly in the Gaza Strip, where he aims to announce a transition to phase two of his peace plan within weeks, the two sources said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

“While some of us working for the president have gotten frustrated with Bibi and feel he has been dragging his feet on phase two of the Gaza deal, the president has intentionally been shielded from those conversations,” the US official said, referring to Netanyahu by his nickname.

Israel Seeks Defense Independence

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently committed Israel to a 350 billion-shekel ($110 billion) investment over the next decade to boost independence in critical arms production. 

The announcement, detailed during a meeting of defense chiefs at Shin Bet headquarters on Dec. 25, came one day after the prime minister, at an Israeli Air Force graduation ceremony, stated that he had approved, along with the defense minister and finance minister, a sum of 350 billion shekels “over the next decade to build an independent Israeli munitions industry. We want to reduce the dependency on any party, including allies.”

This is a great move for Israel, Netanyahu has also stated earlier that the alliance with America is good, but waiting on approval like a vessel state is not what Israel needs in today’s world. I remember the slow walk by the Biden Administration in delivery of weapons that had already been bought by the IDF. Even now with a friendly President in the White House it seems that Israel is like a beggar on a street corner at times. Recently Israel shipped defense weaponry to Germany, also a gas deal with Egypt was also worked out between the two nations. Good for Israel.

Israel is surrounded by enemies in the Middle East and Northern Africa. If you look at a map Israel is the tiny dot in the middle of Islamist who have sworn to destroy them. My fear is that America is turning from its hard commitment of Israel to a more neutral position. That my friends is not good for the US.

Only a nation blessed by Almighty God could find itself capability to repeal a sneak attack and wars on all fronts and come back, in many cases stronger than before. The Bible clearly states that the Jews will come home and make the desert blossom as a rose. It surely has.

As with my nation, I don’t agree with everything that they do, but for Israel and the US this friendship is in our best interest as well as theirs. We may give them aid, but it comes back in investments in our military complex and even more importantly in intelligence from a very fragile and complex region.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem! Rh

Syrian Sanctions Lifted

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Not sure how this will play out, Syria is run by a former Al Qaeda terrorist. Israel and Syria seem to be trying to work out some sort of peace arrangement, and Trump is all in on the Syrian President. Hard to believe a leopard can change its spots. Trust but verify. Rh

Syrians are celebrating: Between Wednesday and Thursday night, the U.S. House of Representatives announced that it had approved the Defense Authorization Bill, which includes a provision lifting the sanctions imposed on Syria under the Caesar Act.

These sanctions were originally placed on the Assad regime for crimes against humanity committed during the civil war that erupted in the previous decade. The Senate is expected to approve the bill within the coming days, after which it will be sent to President Donald Trump for final signature.

The Caesar Act is named after the alias of a former Syrian military photographer who risked his life to smuggle out thousands of images documenting torture and executions of political prisoners by the Assad regime. Since fleeing Syria, he has devoted his life to seeking justice for the victims of Assad’s brutality.

Passed in late 2019, the Act enabled the United States to impose sweeping sanctions on the Assad regime for its crimes against humanity, including the use of chemical weapons and the torture of detainees. It also targeted individuals and entities that supported the regime, with the goal of weakening its economic capabilities.

The Defense Authorization Bill, which includes the repeal of the Caesar Act sanctions, is expected to take effect on January 1, 2026. However, in its current form, the bill grants the U.S. President the authority to impose new sanctions if circumstances require.

This marks a significant political victory for the government of Ahmad al-Shar’a. Despite the involvement of Islamist governing factions in mass atrocities against Alawites and Druze, al-Shar’a has continued to enjoy support from the Trump administration.

Following the de facto repeal of the Act, thousands of Syrians poured into the streets in celebration, as the sanctions had placed severe strain on the local economy. Celebrations were reported in Damascus’s Umayyad Square, as well as in Aleppo, Homs, and Latakia.

Syrian Tourism Minister Mazen al-Salhani stated that “the repeal of the Caesar Act is a historic turning point that corrects the path of international justice and opens wide horizons for the national economy.” Speaking to the state news agency, he added: “The tourism sector is still recovering. Lifting the restrictions will expand investment opportunities and ease the movement of tourism delegations. This will strengthen Syria’s position on both the regional and international tourism map.”

Syria’s Minister for Emergency and Disaster Management, Raed al-Salh, also welcomed the development: “For the first time in decades, Syria is free of American sanctions. The repeal of the Caesar Act ends a long era of isolation and punitive measures for which Syrians paid twice – suffering under the crimes of the previous regime and then enduring the economic and institutional collapse that followed.”

MAGA dies by a thousand cuts

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

By Olivia Murray

As a part of the MAGA movement, although I was never a sycophant over Trump believing he could do no wrong, he is after all an egotistical politician and very flawed. He was our best hope considering the state of our country. Below is an interesting article that touches on many of my concerns as well. Let me know what you think? Rh

I didn’t vote for 50-year mortgages. I don’t want to spend half a century just paying off a modest house, forking over hundreds of thousands of extra dollars in interest alone.

So after 50 years, you might finally have your house in your name. What happens when property taxes price you out of that home, assuming you can even afford 50 years of property tax increases? Consider that in just 13 years (between 1980 and 1993), property taxes rose a whopping 62% in after-inflation dollars for Americans. Between last year and now, property taxes nationwide rose 3%. If that trend holds exactly the same (impossible as long as debt goes up and money keeps getting inflated), that’s an astronomical increase over the next half-century. As of 2024, the average property tax bill for a single-family home in the U.S. was right around $4,712. At a 3% interest increase each year, that means in 50 years, that yearly property tax bill will be $20,656.97.

Quite the spokesman for the “You will own nothing and be happy” World Economic Forum campaign.

What’s Trump’s next proposal going to be, 15-year car loans? Is he going to get behind the debt slavery offered at the Wal-Mart checkout line that offers financing for a small grocery haul?

I didn’t vote to bring in 600,000 Chinese “students” to keep leftist universities afloat. In fact, I want these colleges, using my money to spew leftism, indoctrinate generations into mindlessness, and enshrine depravity into our culture to go out of business. I want a free market in education.

I didn’t vote for $2,000 tariff reimbursements, whether they’re paid for with already collected revenue (which includes some of my money as costs for imported products have already risen and I’ve paid higher prices), or future “anticipated” revenue from the tariffs, paid for by adding to the already staggering $38 trillion debt.

I didn’t vote for the Indian worker first, or the South Korean worker first. I voted for the American worker first. That’s what Trump promised us, and now he’s backtracking:

He says we don’t have talented people, that the American workforce doesn’t have enough people capable of making batteries, or working in a factory. I couldn’t disagree more.

I voted for all that talk about mass deportations, and we’re getting lower numbers than Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Sure, he’s getting infinitely more resistance because he’s Trump, but he’s still president. So what if he violates an order from some leftist activist judge? The consequence is just one more lawsuit. Who cares? Why won’t he be the “monster” the left thinks he is? The housing market is at a breaking point because of supply and demand laws—throw out 100 million illegals living here and it’s problem solved…without half-century bank-owned rental agreements.

I

voted for denaturalizations, particularly foreigners who allegedly marry their own siblings to defraud the American system, or who omit their participation in socialist and leftist activities to again, game entry. Why are Zohran and Ilhan still here? Where is the heat?

I didn’t vote for NBA gambling busts. I don’t care. I voted for the Epstein list, arrests of deep state traitors and criminal congressmen, and I voted for law and order that matters. I don’t care if people drive 10 miles over the speed limit, and I don’t care if someone leaks a text about Lebron James and an ankle injury. But what did I get? Some guy named Chauncey Billups is now in the hot seat, facing the full might of the federal government.

I voted for an end to cronyism, but then I read about Kash Patel taking our private jet to watch his girlfriend sing the national anthem at an event in Pennsylvania, before presumably dropping her off at her home in Nashville. Sure, he has to “reimburse” the government the cost of a commercial ticket, but we still have to offset the tens of thousands of dollars it actually costs to fly privately on personal jaunts.

I voted for an administration that would respect the strict limits placed upon the federal government by our founders, but I got a Pam Bondi DOJ that “has no plans to abandon its previous arguments” made by Merrick Garland’s DOJ against gun rights.

If Trump pisses away these four years doing nothing much of note, governing like a total middle-of-the-road president, we’re in for such a world of hurt when the left inevitably comes to power again. They’re maniacal, having been whipped into hysterical frenzies, and they’re out for blood, and without cleaning up our country and enforcing real justice and accountability, they’re going to get it. They’re going to make us pay dearly for a completely squandered four years.

What in the world is Trump doing?
