Reversing The War On Families

Posted on by

The following is a guest post by Raynor James.

The fake regime in D.C., the deep state, globalists, and whatever else you call this evil cabal has been waging war on traditional, two parent, nuclear families for a long time. American children and their parents are paying the price. They’re unsure of themselves and others. They’re insecure. They don’t know who to trust or what to believe. Divorce and poverty are on the rise. Americans are being hurt in the area in which our greatest happiness used to be found–the nuclear family.How is this happening? You and I both know. We’ve waked up to the fact that garbage is being taught in our public schools. Students are taught that their very nature is the result of their SKIN COLOR. White people are oppressors. Everyone else is a victim. As a result, people dislike themselves and everyone else. In addition, gender fluidity (an oxymoron if there ever was one) is being taught and encouraged in very young, very impressionable children, and material being pushed on children that is intended to (and does) sexualize them at very young ages. That is child abuse. There are many penalties for being married built into our tax code, into our welfare rules, and into many government edicts about employment and whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor (with more flexibility and choice).

There are many ways the US governments discourages family formation; however, there’s a movement afoot that’s intended to reverse the trend rather dramatically. Chairman Jim Banks and the Republican Study Committee have been working diligently on a “Family Policy Agenda.” The people involved include Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green, Rep. Ted Budd, Rep. Debbie Lesko, and many more. The group has met with President Trump to get his input. At the end of September, Chairman Jim Banks and the Republican Study Committee published its “Family Policy Agenda,” which contains10 basic principles and over 80 policy recommendations to restore the American family. It brings the 1990s “Contract with America” to mind.

Let’s look at some of the basic principles, shall we? Principle number one is to protect children from far-left ideologies inside and outside the classroom. It cites things like the transgender movement, racial ideologies, sexualization, dangers from big tech and internet predators, and the like. It also includes increased penalties for people who harm children and ideas for protecting children from drugs.

Principle number two is to give working families flexibility as to where and how they earn a living and get rid of one-size-fits-all government rules, and to ease up on government licensing requirements for various types of employment.

Principle number three is to implement policies reflecting the reality that parents (not government officials) are best qualified to make decisions about the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of their children, enshrine parental rights in law including the right to know what’s happening in their children’s schools, and the right and ability of parents to choose their child’s school, and the right of parents over public health bureaucrats in making health care decisions.

If you’re like me, these principles sound wonderful, but how do we get them from “pie in the sky” to REALITY? By electing America First, MAGA candidates to the US House and Senate (as well as to local school boards, and other local and state offices), that’s how! But what about cheating? Volunteer as a poll worker, poll observer, and/or outside-the-poll campaigner. Get trained (by your party), and also study the material at “Operation 2022 ELECTION OVERWATCH” if you can find time. Write to “We the People” at info@wtpevents.org to find out when they’re having online seminars. Or check in with NCEIT and access one of their programs.

I won’t sugar coat it. We’re up against some scum bags who will try to rig the election. If we don’t work VERY HARD, they WILL succeed. So let’s work VERY HARD! Something called ERIC was slipped into NC HB-103 thanks to Phil Berger (President Pro Tempore of the NC Senate) and Tim Moore (Speaker of the NC House) via traitorous deal they cut with “King” Roy. ERIC farms out how our voter rolls are maintained. In states that already have the system, the voter rolls are bloated just BEFORE each election, and they shrink just AFTER each election. Nice, huh?

We probably can’t ditch ERIC prior to the election, but there are things we can do. First, we can do the poll work mentioned above. Next, we can make phone calls to conservatives asking them to vote. Third, we can follow the advice from “We the People” and vote ON ELECTION DAY AFTER 3 p.m. If enough of us do that, it will make it difficult for the bad guys to know how many fraudulent votes they have to “find,” and we can WIN in spite of both Hell and high water –and we know that at least one of them will be involved!

This Is What Desperation Looks Like

On Sunday, The Epoch Times reported that Indiana Democrats have attempted to disqualify Representative Jim Banks (R-Ind.) from running in the November general election. The attempt was made because Representative Banks contested the 2020 election results. There have been similar attempts to disqualify other Republican candidates in other states. Thankfully, the bipartisan Indiana Election Commission dismissed the challenge to Representative Banks.

The article reports:

Aaron “A.J.” Calkins of Fort Wayne, Indiana, who’s running in a three-way Democratic Party primary for the right to face third-term U.S. Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) in the November general election, filed a formal challenge on Feb. 10. Calkins claimed in the filing that Banks was guilty of a “violation of the 14th Amendment supporting an insurrection.”

Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states: “No person shall be a … Representative in Congress … who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress … to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same.”

This so-called disqualification clause that’s part of the 14th Amendment is a post-Civil War measure that, among other things, was aimed at keeping individuals who fought for the defeated Confederacy out of Congress. The amendment was ratified on July 9, 1868, a little more than three years after Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia surrendered.

The clause was “meant for Confederate officers who actually took up arms against the United States,” J. Christian Adams, president of the Indianapolis-based Public Interest Legal Foundation, recently told The Epoch Times.

The novel theory that someone can be tossed from the ballot for something that falls short of an actual insurrection comes from attorney Marc Elias, who has a long history of successfully challenging election integrity laws in court. He laid out a blueprint for using the 14th Amendment to disqualify Republicans in a Dec. 20, 2021, Twitter post.

“My prediction for 2022: Before the midterm election, we will have a serious discussion about whether individual Republican House Members are disqualified by Section 3 of the 14th Amendment from serving in Congress,” he wrote. “We may even see litigation.”

We have heard the name Marc Elias before. He was a central figure in the ‘RussiaGate’ conspiracy. He was the man who hired Fusion GPS for the Clinton presidential campaign of 2016.

The article concludes:

Before the commission voted to reject the challenge, its chairman, Paul Okeson, said the events of Jan. 6, 2021, were “a regrettable mark in history,” but he knew of no evidence that Banks was guilty of participating in an insurrection.

After the hearing, Banks claimed vindication.

“Many Democrats in Washington hope to weaponize the 14th Amendment to disenfranchise President Trump’s 74 million voters,” Banks said in a statement. “I hope they watched today’s unanimous decision.”

Expect more of these attempts to disqualify Republican candidates as we get closer to the mid-term elections. The Democrat Party is doing anything and everything it can to hold on to power. They do not want to fact the consequences of the Republicans taking charge and actually investigating some of the recent escapades of the Democrat Party.
