I'd Tell Him to Pound Sand

A federal judge ordered DACA to be restored. He doesn't have that power. While he can stop an executive order with an injunction, he can't make a law. That's the job of Congress, and DACA was never voted on by Congress.

Trump needs to ignore the judge's ruling, since it violated law. In fact, following the order is allowing a judge to make law, which the Constitution doesn't allow.

Mid-Term on the Horizon

The mid-term election is only a few months away. The usual hype is cranking up, and the media is showing obvious efforts to obfuscate. The election is important, and the reprobates are out in numbers to slander.

If I was Trump, and Sessions was my Attorney General, I'd tell him to wait until September to start producing indictments. Call it a strong offense to discredit the party that used illegal methods to influence the last election.

We'll see, but the opportunity is here, and patience is necessary to insure flanking maneuvers cause the most casualties.

The Truth is Somewhere Out There

It's reported countries other than the United States pay less for healthcare. The lower prices are attributed to higher costs for goods, and services, which sounds like a Mr. Obvious statement, until you add how other governments aggressively negotiate prices.

This is interesting, when you think of how easy it is to have really low profit margin in other countries, which can be made up with an exorbitant profit margin in the United States. When you add how easy it is for large pharmaceutical, and medical device companies, to manipulate Congress, and regulators (remember the $400 dollar epi pens) we pay way too much, and other countries may pay too little.

The truth is somewhere out there, but the government, medical industry, and the media will never seek the answer. They're all milking the taxpayer, and if they can't get it outright with taxes, they'll slush it from profits they help produce.

Abusing the First Amendment

The First Amendment prohibits the free exercise of, or abridging of the press. The New York Times editor thinks Trump is threatening the press.  He's wrong, and knows his posturing is just more of the same effort to remove Trump from office.

Freedom of the press is like the freedom of speech. There are limits; especially when false information is used to cause intentional harm; such as hollering "fire" in a crowded theater. Using the supposed impartiality of the press to knowingly print falsehoods, or avoid the requirement of insuring a source is accurate, is an intentional abuse of the right guaranteed by the Constitution.

Many in the news media are in outright war against the President. They're using the First Amendment  as a shield, while completely ignoring all other rights guaranteed by the Constitution. It's a seditionist method of undermining the government, and an effort to drastically change the United States without following the methods outlined in the Constitution.

Unfortunately, all in the news media are now suspected of having ulterior motives, which harms the institution. If the media wants change this perspective, it needs to start by censoring those so willing to misuse their position, and keeping all opinions strictly in an editorial section. Until that happens, the media will find less people willing to subscribe to their outlet, diminished revenue, and more suspicion of improper behavior.

Call It What It Is

The news is full of articles about the "deep state". That's a euphemism. The correct term is "sedition", and those involved with such things as "seditionists". There are many sources for the definition, and it's easy to find in any search engine. All definitions describe the works of the deep state, and U.S. code defines the criminality of those involved.

There are many guilty of sedition, including sitting members of Congress that promote ignoring the ruled of law to confront, harass, and cause harm to those that disagree with their policies. Their staffs, and members of agencies help by using their authority to circumvent rights demanded by the Constitution.

The media is also guilty. Not exposing crimes against the United States, and promoting those that continue with the effort to destroy the Constitution, is a form of sedition. When it's shown how the media constantly socializes with many in government, the connection of culpability becomes more apparent.

These actions won't stop until someone is prosecuted. Start with the minions, and watch them expose those using their power to hide their actions. The corruption runs deep, but can be stopped. It's time the purge started, and those involved removed from positions that allow criminal acts without punishment.
