TIME TO END THE FILIBUSTER: GIVE REPUBLICANS THE TOOLS TO GOVERN NOW

The Senate's sixty-vote filibuster rule is strangling progress. Right now, Republicans control the chamber with a solid fifty-three to forty-seven majority. But every big bill border security, tax cuts, energy independence hits that sixty-vote wall. Democrats just need forty-one votes to block anything, and they're happy to do it.

We can't wait for moderates to "win" the midterms. History shows the president's party usually loses seats in off-years, and polls already hint Democrats are eyeing a comeback in November. If Republicans don't act fast, between now and then, nothing gets done. The filibuster protects the minority today, that's Democrats but it hurts the majority that's trying to deliver.

Eliminating it is simple: a majority vote changes the rules. No need for sixty votes to end debate. Pass the SAVE Act, fund the wall, cut regulations all by simple majority. Moderates in tough states can still vote their conscience on final passage, but the logjam ends.

The filibuster isn't sacred; it's a Senate rule, not in the Constitution. Democrats threatened to nuke it when they had power. Republicans should do it now while they can. Govern boldly, get results, and let voters decide in November. If we hesitate, we'll regret it when the gavel changes hands.

THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR ONE OF OUR GREAT CITIES

Minneapolis was once one of the great cities in the U.S., but corruption began there in 1988 and has increased every year since. It started within politics and NGOs, then expanded greatly in 2010 due to a cultural shift supported by liberal politicians. Their aim was to import and legalize undocumented individuals to develop a new voter base. They achieved this by securing unnecessary federal grants—billions of dollars intended to help people who never actually received assistance. The politicians knowingly looked the other way while the majority of these funds went to corrupt, foreign-born NGOs. Whistleblowers and investigators now suggest the total could exceed $100 billion since 1988. The good news is that they have opened a ‘Pandora’s box’ that cannot be closed. If this is the case in Minneapolis, imagine the scale in California—perhaps $400 to $500 billion in American tax dollars. We need public outrage to speed up the process of holding people accountable and to stop the distribution of lump-sum grants without total transparency.

Shifting Our Attitude To Shift The World

The Ultimate Solution

The longer we live, the more we should realize how much impact attitude has on people’s lives. A person’s attitude is more important than education. It’s more important than money, circumstances, failures, successes, appearance or skill. It’s especially more important than what others think, say or do. The attitude of everyone involved will make or break a company, church, home – or a Country The change starts by shifting our focus. Once others start focusing on the issues instead of gossip and their own special interests, and listen, attitudes of the people will start to change. The silent majority will wake up, become proud of their actions and get involved in helping others, not just themselves. In turn, our’ attitudes will continue to shift, and they’ll start working harder to agree instead of disagree, we are much more similar than we are different, and we need to look for those similarities first. This will allow us to debate at a civil level. This cycle will continue, moving us and our country closer to actually fixing our problems, with workable solutions. We don’t need to always agree, we need to listen and tolerate the opinions of others. The remarkable thing is that this change is something that we, as individuals can control, and can do it every day. We always have a choice regarding the attitude we embrace. We cannot change the past, or the fact that other people will act or believe in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. But we can change our attitude. And we’re the only ones who can change it. Learn “how to think” instead of being told “what to think. Do you like being a follower? We at Unpolitically Correct are convinced that life is “10 %” what happens to us and “90 %” how we react to it. So change how you react to all the things in this world we can, and you might just change the World itself. Hopefully, our leaders and influential people will lead us in this effort. There is a prayer that we recommend to all, religious or not, that helps going into and coming out of uncomfortable situations, where solutions are being sought.
The Serenity Prayer God (optional) grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change. The Courage to change the things I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference.

THE INCONVENIENT TRUTH

I believe that Native Americans have made great sacrifices for America. Non-Native Americans have tried to repent for their actions by offering inclusion (which is sometimes rejected) in all our shared successes. There is still more we can do. The tribes need to unite more among themselves and better assimilate as the real Original Americans—because none of us are ever going backward. We want to always honor heritage, for everyone. I think we should grant full title to all reservation land and eliminate the concept of trust land, transferring ownership directly to the individual tribes, without any taxes moving forward. Let them manage their own affairs. Let their members own the land their homes are built on. This lack of ownership is one of the reasons for underperforming reservations people don’t actually own their land. We need to do more, but I still believe we have greatly improved the lives of American Indians who have embraced the positive aspects of our society, rather than spending 300 years resenting what happened something we can’t change.

Charlie Kirk Rest In Peace

Charlie Kurk was a force of nature, and proved the belief that, “one person can make a difference”. He made a significant impact in his short life, that will live on forever, and his movement will grow, thanks to his ultimate sacrifice. In these times of some people trying to minimize free speech and Debate, he was a shinning and refreshing “Torch Bearer for Free speech, and Debating”, especially with those who disagreed with him. He had a way of defusing those who Debated him, at his College Events. When a Liberal or a person of a different opinion, debated him they generally calmed down, and left generally still disagreeing with him but respected Him, because he treated them with respect. This is why we need to do more debating than ever, stopping all those who want to suppress it (especially our politicians, who stopped doing it), and that’s there real job. Charlie has shown us all, how effective it can be, if done with calmness and respect for each other, being Human , and Americans. I talked to Charlie only once, but he said he really liked unPC, he was very fun to talk to. He is being blessed constantly by God.
