Let The Consequences Begin

Posted on by

The Supreme Court’s birthright citizenship decision was awful. They interpreted a law to mean something it was never intended to mean and laid the foundation for bad things to happen to this country in the future. The birthright tourism from China will continue, and in less than a generation, America will suffer the consequences. However, on Tuesday The Conservative Treehouse posted an article with a few suggestions as to how to deal with the ruling.

The article suggests:

As a pragmatic and patriotic American I respectfully suggest and recommend the U.S. State Department immediately institute the “Roberts Requirement” following similar visa entry protocols previously used for COVID-19 tests prior to U.S. admittance.

The Roberts Requirement: Each female visa applicant must present a valid negative pregnancy test taken no longer than 10 days prior to travel to the United States.

The certified document, negative pregnancy test, together with all related visa approvals must be presented to Customs and Border Patrol at each port of entry. Failure disqualifies the traveler.

This is the same protocol as COVID-19, only using pregnancy status as the disqualifying health issue. It is a lawful regulation, born from a new standard established by the Supreme Court, that does not need congressional approval.

The article notes:

Start thinking like a person who realizes the goal is to create severe antagonism through regulation.  That antagonism can then be directed.

Aim isolation, ridicule and marginalization at those who created the problem.  This can be done without visible vitriol.

The objective is not just making sure pregnant women do not get visas; that is one small element. The bigger objective is to make it extremely difficult to come to the USA and THEN pin that global compliance requirement on Chief Justice John Roberts, making him live every day with the consequences of his blinded American stupidity; facing him, belittling him, ridiculing him, sitting on the front pages of his peers and global friends.

Chief Justice John Roberts created this mess, now put it on his doorstep every day.

But people will lie – doesn’t matter.

But people will create fake documents – doesn’t matter.

But people will still overstay their visas – doesn’t matter.

You are putting the emphasis on the wrong aspect.

The most important idea in the article:

Make every regulation specifically cited to the Supreme Court decision and make it exceptionally burdensome.

Make SCOTUS own the outcome.

I think the author has a great idea!

Actions Have Consequences

Prior to October 7, 2023, many Palestinians crossed into Israel to work. Jobs in Gaza were scarce and often depended on who you knew or who you gave money to, and work in Israel was available and paid well. Unfortunately, many of the people who worked alongside the Israelis before October 7th were the same people who attacked them on October 7th. Now the people in Gaza are complaining because Israel will no longer allow them to cross into Israel and work there.

On Tuesday, Hot Air reported:

From what little contact I have had with Palestinians in the United States, they can be entrepreneurial, hard-working, and decent enough people to be around.

Of course, these are generally Palestinians with the wit to leave the hellholes that the Palestinian leadership has created, and are also in jobs where a middle- to upper-middle-class guy like me is likely to meet them. So they are probably not representative.

But still, I can think of no inherent reason why, other than culture, that Palestinians in the Middle East are such a poisonously dangerous population, but there is not one Arab country that wants anything to do with them, and for good reasons. They destroy every place where they congregate.

Ask the Jordanians. The Lebanese. The Egyptians. The Palestinian “refugees” from the war have all wound up in European countries too stupid to defend themselves against any threat. They are stupid enough to take in Syrians, Pakistanis, and Afghans as well, and have lived to regret it.

Since the West Bank and Gaza are terrible places to do any business, largely because the “governing” bodies are horrifically corrupt and only interested in graft and jihad, Palestinians get work in Israel. Or did, until October 7th, when many of the people welcomed into Israel to work turned out to have been spies who helped develop the intelligence necessary to commit the atrocities of that day.

…Israel has always had this problem. On the one hand, they want the Palestinians in the formerly occupied territories to become more prosperous and less inclined to genocidal fantasies, and on the other hand, Palestinians as a group want to have their cake and eat it too.

They want to live well, and thus need to work outside the crapholes created by their leaders, but on the other hand, they are bloodthirsty and want to kill Jews.

After October 7th, Israel cut off access to the country for Palestinians, and now we are supposed to cry for the Palestinians who lost their jobs and blame Israel for not being interested in seeing its citizens raped, murdered, or blown up.

The article concludes:

When The New Yorker leads with a phrase like “justified in the name of security,” they are trying to say that the real cause is racism or prejudice, as if the fear of Palestinian terror is irrational.

That is absurd, of course. As many people have noted, proportionally the October 7th massacre was far more deadly than 9/11, so of course it has scarred the Israeli psyche. And, unlike the United States, Israel has lived with Palestinian terror for its entire existence as a country. To this day, its citizens contend with rocket attacks essentially daily.

The transnational elite-types are indifferent to that, of course. As we have seen over the past year or two, even New Yorkers have embraced Islamists in the name of “diversity,” and elected as Mayor a man who campaigned with an unindicted co-conspirator with the World Trade Center bombers, and speaks at mosques where they pray for “Death to America.”

Gad Saad calls the impulse to defend people who declare themselves enemies of our civilization “suicidal empathy,” and surely there is much truth in that diagnosis. But I think that only captures one variable; many supporters of Palestinians quite consciously want our civilization to fall. They approve of the violence as it is a necessary component to their larger agenda.

The AWFLs (affluent, white, female, liberal) may be besotted with “empathy,” but the Bolsheviks just want to destroy what they hate.

Actions have consequences.

The Supreme Court Made A Mistake

Posted on by

On Tuesday, Breitbart posted an article about the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on birthright citizenship. The Court declared birthright citizenship legal. That is not a good thing. It seriously weakens America’s sovereignty in the long run.

The article reports:

The U.S. Supreme Court voted 5-4 on Tuesday to reject President Donald Trump’s reform of the nation’s birthright citizenship policy, which now grants the huge prize of citizenship to nearly all infants born in the United States, even if the parents are illegal migrants or temporary visitors.

…The decision forces Trump and pro-American politicians to step up border controls to exclude more migrants seeking to snatch citizenship slices from Americans. Democrats and business groups, however, will resist such controls because they favor migration.Alternatively, pro-American politicians and voters can try the near-impossible task of amending the Constitution via votes in a two-thirds majority of state legislatures.

The article concludes:

Millions of infants with no parental connection to the United States have gained citizenship via this route, much to the advantage of the Democratic Party, various business interests, as well as foreign governments, such as those of China and India.

Each such arrival has taken political power and civic clout from ordinary Americans, especially from Americans living in coastal cities or along the Texas border. Those births have helped shift political and cultural power leftward, often toward a direct rejection of Americans’ free-speaking, independent culture.

For example, Zohran Mamdani’s election victory in migrant-crowded New York is difficult to imagine without the loose policy of birthright citizenship.

According to AI, only 37 percent of New York City’s population is American-born. What is happening in New York City is a result of immigration policies that do not consider the welfare of American citizens.

ObamaCare Enrollment Drops

Posted on by

On June 29th, I posted an article about the amount of fraud in ObamaCare. It seems that there were more than a million people enrolled in Obamacare without Social Security numbers on file. That might be an indication of a fraud problem.

On Tuesday, The Epoch Times reported:

Obamacare enrollment declined by nearly 3 million in 2026, sparking renewed debate about the affordability of healthcare in America.

National politicians and policy experts disagreed on the reasons for the dip in enrollment, with some saying that it was driven by rising premiums. 

Others said the decline was evidence that program integrity measures taken by the Trump administration were successful in rooting out fraud and waste. 

The program grew significantly during the declared National Health Emergency from 2021 through 2024, when eligibility verification requirements were relaxed and participants were automatically reenrolled.

Enrollment peaked at 22.1 million last year and dropped to 19.2 million as of February, according to federal data released June 26.

Though that’s still higher than in any year except 2025, some analysts interpreted the decline as a massive loss of coverage resulting from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025.

…Others including Brian Blase, president of Paragon Health Institute, say that the changes mostly reverted to pre-pandemic coverage and policy rules, which had been an incentive for fraud. 

“Excessive subsidies and zero-premium plans created unusually strong incentives for improper enrollment, while weak verification systems, permissive enrollment pathways, and insufficient oversight allowed those incentives to be exploited at scale,” Blase wrote in a June analysis.

The Trump Administration has focused on program integrity, preventing about 2.9 million enrollees from receiving Obamacare subsidies that they didn’t qualify for, according to a statement from the assistant secretary for Health and Human Services.

The government estimates that 2.6 million fraudulent enrollments remain in the program, down from an estimated high of 5.6 million last year.

I have no problem helping people afford health insurance. However, we have seen in the past that anything the government touches loses money, It’s time to get the government out of medicine and let the free market in. The free market would open competition between health insurance providers and health providers. We need competition in both areas. It could be done in a way that would insure that Americans get the healthcare they need regardless of their financial situation.
