* repeal vile, hateful, unconstitutional national socialist ObummerDoesn'tCare (do NOT replace it)
* block unconstitutional national socialist RyanAndMcConnellDon'tCare
* reform regulation and taxation of charities (differentiate genuine charities from political campaign organizations and crony socialist cabals) and encourage, without subsidizing, mutual benefit associations

"African American mathematician and writer Kelly Miller, born in 1863, who astutely observed that the 'capitalist has but one dominating motive, the production and sale of goods. The race or color of the producer counts but little.' The capitalist, he continued, 'gives to every man the unhindered right to work according to his ability and skill. In this proposition the capitalist and the Negro are as one.'" --- Ann Coulter 2012 _Mugged: Racial Demagoguery from the 1970s to Obummer_ pg99 (citing Marvin Olasky 2010-02-13 "History Turned Right Side Up" _World_ http://www.worldmag.com/articles/16346)

"for learning the skills of a lawyer -- or a surgeon or an electrician or a pipe fitter or an accountant -- is mere training. Education is learning how to think critically and absorbing mankind's accumulated wisdom and culture. It is the foundation for everything else, period. When it comes to restoring and preserving our freedom, education is essential. A major reason that so many Americans do not realize their liberties are slipping from their grasp is that they are simply unaware of the tyranny our forefathers rebelled against. The only way to understand why so many strong souls risked everything, including their lives, to climb aboard leaking wooden ships and cross the Atlantic for a mere chance at building a better life is to know the failings of their governments The tyranny of such governments spawned the great works of Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau, which inspired the learned men who conceived of the American experiment." --- G. Gordon Liddy 2002 _When I Was a Kid, This Was a Free Country_ pg37

refugee and asylum adjudication needs someone to investigate and skeptically question each application/applicant
I thought that was what USCIS, DoS employees including the ReSettlement Support Center people, CBP at ports, medical doctors, and the VolAgs were all supposed to be doing: questioning, testing honesty (reading body-language, expressions, polygraphs, functional-NMR/-MRI, IR video), conducting background investigations, testing for communicable disease vectors & pathogens... OK, so what are they doing on the job, instead, or that is considered a higher priority? I understand that this is only a portion of the jobs of some of these people, and that there are millions of visa applications pending, and tens, hundreds, on occasion thousands of illegal alien invaders at any particular time. The more I learn, the more I am shocked by how casually and lax the powers-that-be are about this... and how many visas are rubber-stamped, and the demands of oath-breaking judges that people simply be turned loose to roam the USA without any examination at all. And the better the notion of delivering them to certain gated communities and "compounds" of the politicians is sounding...and close the gates and mount an extra guard outside.

"Expertise matters. This seemingly obvious statemet was first tested experimetally in the 1980s by a Swedish emigre psychologist, now at the [Florida State U], named K. Anders Ericsson, who has spent the intervening decades developing what has come to be known as the 'expert performance' model for human achievement. In study after study of experts in fields as diverse as music, competitive athletics, medicine, and chess, Ericsson and his colleagues were unable to discover any significant in-born difference between the most accomplished performers and the 'merely' good. That is, no test for memory, IQ, reaction time, or any other human capacity that might seem to indicate natural talent differentiated the master from the journeyman. What did separate them was, therefore, not inherited, but created; time, not talent, was the critical measurement. Though Ericsson found that both the violinists and basketball players started playing at roughly the same age, the stars in both pursuits spent more time at it than their less accomplished colleagues. Twice as much time, in fact; against all expectations, an expert musician spent, on average 10K hours practicing [in purpose-driven, deliberate, coached/taught ways], as compared to 5K spent by the not-quite-expert. The model turned out to apply to a range of pursuits. Cabinet-makers and cardiologists, golfers and gardeners, all became expert after roughly the same amount of time spent mastering their craft. Of all the legends of James Watt's youth, the one no one doubts is that he spent virtually every waking hour of his 'apprenticeship' year with John Morgan mastering the skills of fine brass-work, gearing, and instrument repair. His pride in the fine navigational instrument he built as his graduation project is indistinguishable from that felt by a gymnast doing her first back hand-spring... By the 1990s, Ericsson's research was demonstrating that the same phenomenon he had first discovered among concert violinists also applied to the creation of innovations: that the cost of becoming consistently productive at creative inventing is [1K-12K] hours of practice -- 5-7 years -- just as it is for music, athletics, and chess." --- William Rosen 2010 _The Most Powerful Idea in the World_ pp116-117 (citing K. Anders Ericsson 1999 "Creative Expertise as Superior Reproducible Performance: Innovative and Flexible Aspects of Expert Performance" _Psychological Inquiry_ vol10 #4)

"Michael Smith, a Washington DC attorney retained by a group of high-tech workers who had lost their jobs. IBM also started to utilize another tactic that became an employer favorite during the 1980s and 1990s: firing a person one day and then bringing him back as an independent contractor, at lower compensation, the next." --- Rick Wartzman 2017 _The End of Loyalty: The Rise and Fall of Good Jobs in the USA_ pg320

"Thus saith the Lord GOD: Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel; remove violence and spoil, and execute justice and righteousness; take away your exactions from My people, saith the Lord GOD. Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah..." --- Ezekiel/ יחזקאל/ Yechezqal 45:9-
"Now this is the mitzvoth, the statutes, and the ordinances, which HaShem your God commanded (Moshah/Moses/Musa) to teach you, that you might comply-with/execute/carry-out/fulfill/do them in the land to which you go to possess... Hear, oh Israel; HaShem our God, HaShem is unique. And you must love HaShem your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words, which I command you this day, must be in your heart; and you must teach them diligently to your children, and must talk about them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the path, and when you lie down, and when you rise up. And you must bind them like a sign on your hand (so you will often see them), and as a sign on your fore-head between your eyes (so others with you will often see them). And you must write them on the door-posts of your house, and on your gates (so those who enter or pass by will see them)." --- Deuteronomy/ דברים/ deberim/debrim/words 5-6

"The rise in prosperity was in part due to new opportunities presented by the Union, and in part also to the ability of the Scots to seize the opportunities. It has been said that, in a reaction against the religious furies of the 17th century, Scotland developed a secular spirit, turned to money-making, and according to some, magnified the virtues of thrift, abstinence, and hard work int a kind of piety expressed in the fact that copies of the _Shorter Catechism_ issued to children bore the multiplication talbes on the back... Capitalism existed before Calvinism. Certainly the secular spirit of 'reason' advanced in Scotland as elsewhere, but frequent controversies are proof that there was still an active interest in religion adn there is ample evidence that simple piety was maintained in many ordinary households. What is true is that the regard for truth and honesty inculcated in the discipline of the Kirk was a good foundation for success in business, and that Scottish people, trained to the 'economic' virtues in a long struggle against a hard environment, were quick to exploit the advantage offered by better conditions." --- John Duncan Mackie, Bruce Lenman & Geoffrey Parker 1964, 1978, 1984 _An History of Scotland_ pp288-289

"The nationalists -- or National Whigs as they might better be called -- showed no fear or hesitation about the wholesomeness of the popular will. They had received & had under-taken to model a gov't based on the consent of the governed. Though in some form or phrase such consent had long stood as a principle of English constitutional doctrine, it was a distinctively American contribution to insist that consent could no longer rest on legal fiction. American whiggery required some much more explicit procedure for the implementation of consent." --- J.R. Pole 1966 _Political Representation in England & the Origins of the American Republic_
