MAGA is Coming

The Congressional GOP tried to pretend it was 2016 last night – trying to help the Democrats ram through a 1,500 page continuing resolution which was packed with Democrat spending priorities and various things to hamstring the incoming Trump Administration. For the moment, it appears to have been stopped – with Elon Musk and JD Vance leading the social media charge against it. It could, of course, come back! But it still was a least a victory for a day…and the first time we actually made a GOP-controlled chamber of Congress listen to us.

To listen to the RINOs, this was once again just one of those darned things we couldn’t change – if we wanted relief for hurricane victims, we had to go along with all the Democrat spending. This was never a convincing argument in the past but, also, there never was much we could do about it…but now we’ve got at least a significant number of MAGA representation and at least one friendly social media platform…we are both able to get our message out and there are enough MAGA representatives in Congress to make it so that any RINO going along with it would be heavily exposed come re-election time. Like this: if there are 220 GOPers in the House and 195 vote for it, that’s cover. If there’s 220 and 150 vote for it…that’s catastrophe…that’s clearly providing the votes for a Democrat bill. Rely on it: they will try to ram it all through…the Uniparty is still pretty strong and utterly hates us.

The strongest message I saw yesterday on Social Media – from accounts large and small – was to keep hammering back on it with “why can’t you just pass a hurricane relief bill?”. This, of course, was deadly for the Uniparty. Their argument was that we had to go along with the Dems because they control the Senate…our argument (and its unanswerable) is why don’t they have to go along with us as we control the House? The secondary argument (also effective) was to say, “put action off until the 6th for Trump’s signature on the 20th”. We all do feel for the hurricane victims but our bet is that most of them would back us on this…sometimes you do have to do the patriotic thing even if it hurts. To wrap it all up in a pretty bow, we also pointed out that whatever fallout there is will occur while Biden is President…not Trump. This isn’t even our mess – its the Democrats’ mess. Let them clean it up. Or not. We don’t care. By the time votes are cast again, the budget crunch of December 2024 will be ancient history…if there’s a time for such a fight, it is now.

The fact that there was a genuine pushback and that it was at least partially successful shows that the Trump victory is for real…it wasn’t just a vote against Biden, it was a vote against the Establishment…and the GOP part of that Establishment as much as any other part. People don’t want business as usual. If the Left had a lick of sense – or wasn’t motivated purely by hatred – they’d realize that now was the time to try to get things like universal health care or at least something like it. We don’t like the health care system. We don’t like Big Pharma. We’re also open to ideas, knowing that nothing is going to be perfect. They could bring their proposals to us and get a hearing…buuuut being hate filled and stupid, they are turning the CEO murderer into their sick and twisted version of a hero. Not really sure what we’re going to have to do with the overall Left…they are so amazingly ignorant and filled with hate that its going to be a problem just dealing with them. Of course, if we really do get the promised reforms, the Left will see a drastic reduction of taxpayer funded Leftist storm troopers and that will lower the overall temperature over time.

Like a lot of people, I’m feeling very positive about the future – understanding that the mess the Biden people made is real and will take some time to clean up (do note that they’ll stop putting out bogus economic data – no longer need to protect a Democrat so we’ll shortly be getting true inflation and unemployment data). But I feel like for the first time in a long time – maybe since Reagan – that we’re going to have policies designed to help America…and that gives me hope.

    Cat Ladies Flip Out over Suggestion of Mandatory Paternity Tests

    “Trump administration should consider a law that makes paternity tests mandatory at birth …to put father’s name on birth certificate etc. It’s bizarre, given this technology, that this isn’t already the law,” @bronzeagemantis wrote.

    I have no idea how high the incidence of women committing paternity fraud but I’m sure it’s more common that most people believe given today’s level of promiscuity. Without having spent a lot of time thinking this through, at first glance it seems more beneficial the detrimental for society as a whole.

     1.)  Having the (correct) father listed on the birth certificate could be helpful in the child’s life when concerns about hereditary issues arise,

    2.)  If the parents are not in a committed relation and/or the father is not around to provide support, the government often steps in, thereby forcing this burden on taxpayers. Knowing who the father is could shift the burden of responsibility to where it belongs,

     3.) Being forced to list the father could be instrumental in reducing promiscuity,

     4.) In certain cases the mother intends to not notify the father, thereby denying him the opportunity to be involved with the child. While there could be good reasons for keeping the father out of the picture such as him being an outright evil person, I sense there are a good deal more that aren’t.

     5.) And… as this article suggest, getting a paternity test would help eliminate fraud and all the baggage that goes along with it.

    Your thought?

      Agree on all. Related to your (3) could be a reduction in willingness of men to engage in random sex knowing that if a pregnancy results they will be held accountable.

      And to this whole thing I would add a mandatory paternity test prior to any abortion. The arrogance of abortion is never addressed, but it represents a woman declaring ownership of another human being (her child), passing a death sentence on another human being who has committed no crime, and denying a father any rights in the life of his child.

      If not a full paternity test then a DNA sample to be retained, under penalty of law. Because at some point the law is going to recognize the rights of fathers going back to conception, and we should have proof of paternity if asked.

      I like the idea of paternity tests a lot, and would take it one step forward. Any man that has fathered a child and is not actively helping to support that child, should have a mandatory vasectomy. The most destructive force to any society, are people who grew up impoverished and in dysfunctional homes.

        To this I add that a father should have a say in whether or not his child is executed on the whim of the other parent.

        That has always been a peeve of mine – “my body, my choice” means that a woman can choose whether a man has to pay child support…or kill the child of a willing father.

      • Cluster's avatar Cluster December 20, 2024 / 11:02 am

        100% agree on that. I have always wondered why fathers are excluded from the decision that affects their child too …

        I’m not going to downplay the shock of an unexpected pregnancy, nor the the very real problems some impose on the women involved. I have not personally experienced this, but have vicariously gone through it many times, with both married and unmarried friends and relatives. Growing up in a poor family where every new pregnancy represented a financial problem, I saw my mother and aunts dealing with them—and the biggest lesson I learned was that no matter how deep the concern felt when learning of the pregnancy every single one of them quickly came to love that unborn child and look forward to its birth. Every single one.. (The reason the pro-abortion people fight ultrasounds for newly pregnant women is because they know once a woman sees the heartbeat of her baby she is far less inclined to kill it, and killing babies is the whole idea for these people. Not to do what is best for the women in the long run, but to kill babies.)

        In high school I had friends who suddenly had to “go stay with a sick aunt” who then gave up their babies for adoption, and in later years met several women who had gone through that. A close friend, in my 30s, dealt with an unwanted divorce and in the aftermath which included some rash behavior found herself pregnant. She dealt with it, in spite of extreme pressure to “just get rid of it” by going to an adoption lawyer, choosing a good family for her baby, making sure she did whatever she could to ensure a healthy child, and although this tore her heart out it left her confident that she had done the right thing FOR HER BABY.

        And this is where we see the line, the line between what is right for the baby and what meets the immediate emotional needs of the woman. As much as I empathize with the distress and panic felt by these women, I still see the abortion decision as nothing more than a narcissistic screeching of IT’S ALL ABOUT MEEEE !!! And no, it isn’t. Even the act that led to conception was not just the act of one person, and that act carried with it a tacit if often ignored/denied responsibility for any outcome, including one that would, if a pregnancy were to result, be to the new human being and its father. This applies to the man, as well. Once he crosses that line he has also accepted, tacitly if not expressly, the responsibility for what might result from what he does—but that also carries with it the authority to be part of any decision and to exert his own authority as an equal partner in, to put it delicately, the initiating event.

        Yes, at this point the woman does bear the larger part of the burden, as she is the one carrying the child and giving birth. But this can’t come as a surprise. She knew when she decided to have sex that this could be part of the bargain. She accepted it at the time, in the heat of the moment, focusing on the act itself and her own fleeting pleasure, and a later effort to weasel out of it doesn’t mean she didn’t understand it. Even if she later wants to take advantage of society’s claim that women are simply not strong enough, don’t have enough character, to honor the responsibility for their actions, that doesn’t change the fact that at this point there are three people involved—-her, the father and the baby.
