BARRETT’S BELIEF IN GOD Is a Virtue Not a Liability

COMMON SENSE: In 2017, when Amy Coney Barrett testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee about her qualifications to be confirmed as a U.S. District Judge, Senator Dianne Feinstein took umbrage. Feinstein found Barrett’s Catholicism particularly offensive, saying, “The dogma lives loudly within you.” To Feinstein, who opposed Barrett’s nomination, the Catholic nominee’s religious beliefs were depicted as being misplaced and offensive, something unsuitable for an appellate court judge nominee.

 

Many cried foul about Feinstein’s assertion, saying the Senator was making a religious test for confirmation, which is unconstitutional. They did their very best to defend Barrett. Their strategy was to mitigate the damage caused by Feinstein, saying that Barrett’s belief system would not be detrimental in her judicial  rulings. In their defense of Barrett, her advocates apologized for her belief system. Although their intent was noble, I believe they were sending Americans the wrong message. What they were doing was pursuing the wrong strategy.

 

Instead of apologizing, asking forgiveness for Barrett’s belief system, her supporters should have championed them back in 2017, just as we should be championing them now. In an era of nihilism, where the Rule of Law is constantly under attack, we need men and women of conviction to stand strong for theism in the Supreme Court.

 

In 2020, the virtues of government are being consistently proclaimed by educational leaders, the media, and those in the world of sports and entertainment as being all-important and omni-powerful. This makes having a Justice with a rock-solid worldview that is founded on the Judeo-Christian ethic essential. Amy Barrett has these core convictions and the intestinal fortitude to stand strongly for them.

 

Any jurist Joe Biden would pick certainly would not. His nominees would have no religious conviction at all. Dianne Feinstein certainly doesn’t ascribe to the Judeo-Christian worldview either, despite her Jewish heritage.

 

We need more jurists like Barrett who are constrained by a fundamental sense of right and wrong, of Good and Evil. To have no convictions leaves one adrift in a sea of bewildering issues. This means a judge appointed by Biden would be unable to adjudicate wisely.

 

That Barrett is constrained by her belief in God is a good thing. It will make her a better Supreme Court Justice. This is why we should champion her Catholicism loudly and repeatedly. As an Evangelical, I would never apologize for my beliefs, nor should she apologize for hers. This is why I support Barrett’s nomination without reservation.

FBI Knowingly and Willingly Submitted to Russian Interference

 

COMMON SENSE: It has taken four years to get to the bottom of who was behind the attempted coup against President Trump. Now, we finally have most of the answers. Although I am not at all convinced there will be any real accountability for the scoundrels responsible for this criminal conspiracy, indictments against them should be made.

 

The entire Crossfire Hurricane, the codename used for the operation to “get Trump,” originated with the Steele Dossier. This has been successfully linked to Fusion GPS and Glenn Simpson. His company was paid by the Clinton Campaign and the Democratic National Committee for the Dossier. This isn’t news. We’ve known this for quite a while.

 

What is news, however, is the primary source for the information contained in the Steele Dossier was a Russian spy—not a fictitious spy but a real one. This means our FBI, our Department of Justice and the Mueller investigation willingly allowed themselves to be compromised by a Russian operative.

 

But why would they do such a thing you might ask? It’s because our national security was not as important to them as it was to get Trump.

 

That this actually happened is almost unimaginable. I couldn’t have made this up in one of my novels if I tried. Our secret police, which is our FBI, knowingly and willingly participated in a scheme to have a duly-elected President removed from office. Essentially calling Trump a Manchurian Candidate, meaning Trump was compromised by the Russians, the FBI, the Obama DOJ, the Clintons Campaign and the DNC were the ones who were actually complicit with Russia. If Attorney General Barr and his team continues to dig, I believe they will discover Seth Rich’s murder was intricately tied to this heroic young man exposing this cabal..

 

Nearly as damnable, fearful of the repercussions, the FBI has continued to hide information about what transpired within the Comey FBI.

 

None of this can be allowed to stand. The American people need to know the complete truth about what happened, and the traitorous culprits of this cabal must be indicted and prosecuted—the sooner the better. We have already waited too long. Because he has not been forthcoming, FBI Director Wray must be fired. Again, the sooner the better. Although we can never trust Hillary Clinton and the DNC, we must be able to trust the FBI but, at this point, how can we?

HUNTER BIDEN Has Funded Trafficking

COMMON SENSE: The Senate report on Burisma, the Ukrainian Company associated with Hunter Biden, the wayward son of the Democratic Presidential candidate, has finally been released. That it revealed the Biden’s were involved in corruption doesn’t surprise me. I would have been surprised if it didn’t. What did surprise me, however, was Hunter’s involvement with helping to fund a trafficking operation. As corrupt as the Biden’s are, this is a new low for them.

Hunter has paid for hookers for years. Such behavior often accompanies cocaine addiction. Again, this isn’t surprising, but to be involved with trafficking in any way, exploiting human misery, is unacceptable for a Presidential candidate’s son. Can you imagine the uproar this would cause if Trump’s family was involved? Hunter’s behavior probably hasn’t even made the mainstream media news.

Specifically, the report asserted:

“The records note that it is a documented fact that Hunter Biden has sent funds to nonresident alien women in the United States who are citizens of Russia and Ukraine and who have subsequently wired funds they have received from Hunter Biden to individuals located in Russia and Ukraine. The records also note that some of these transactions are linked to what ‘appears to be an Eastern European prostitution or human trafficking ring.’”

Joe Biden is trying to make integrity a campaign issue, maintaining that he has it and Trump doesn’t, but we are being gaslighted. Biden is the one who lacks integrity. In the Presidential Debate, even if Chris Wallace doesn’t ask Joe about his son’s conduct, I hope President Trump does. Let’s see how old Joe explains helping to enable Hunter’s depravity.

I hope the American people recognize what is happening before it is too late. Joe Biden is not suitable to be the President of the United States, and Hunter belongs in prison. My conclusion is the Biden’s are nearly as corrupt as the Clintons.

SCHUMER’S CRY for Decency and Honor Is Rich

 

COMMON SENSE: When I watch Senator Schumer or any of the other Democrats on TV crying foul about President Trump’s intention to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court left by Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death, I simply marvel at their audacity and cheekiness. After the despicable and disgraceful way in which they treated Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation, for them to even utter a word about civility and decorum is preposterous, but this is exactly what they are doing.

 

Senator Schumer (D-NY) said, “By all rights, by every modicum of decency and honor, Leader McConnell and the Republican Senate majority have no right to fill it, no right.” What utter nonsense. Of course, the Senate Republicans have a right to fill the vacancy. They have the Constitutional responsibility to fill it. What Schumer doesn’t have the right to do is speak about “decency and honor,” not after the character assassination of Kavanaugh, or of Robert Bork, Clarence Thomas or Samuel Alito either. All of these fine men were subjected to incivility and dishonor at the hands of the Democrats in the Senate. Destroying the reputation of their opponents is one of the arrows in the quiver of Democrats. They do it repeatedly.

 

The Democrats have brought this situation entirely on themselves. Had RBG retired ten years ago, when she should have due to her declining health, Obama would have appointed a Liberal to take her place, but RBG didn’t do that, did she? No, instead she refused to go quietly into the night, but that’s not all she did. She allegedly told her granddaughter her last wish was for someone other than President Trump to appoint her successor. So, from the grave, she continues to try to do what she should have done gracefully a decade earlier, but it isn’t going to work—not this time.

 

Elections have consequences, and exercising appointments to the Supreme Court is one of them. It’s Trump’s duty and responsibility to appoint a judge of his choosing. Since the Republicans control the Senate, it is their responsibility and duty to advise and consent to his nomination. That the Democrats are threatening to “pack the Court” if they flip the Senate tells you one thing. It would be unwise, even Constitutionally destructive, to vote for any Democrat running for the Senate. It’s as simple as that.

TRUMP: Here’s a Strategy That Will Work for You

COMMON SENSE: On Saturday, once Ruth Bader Ginsburg has been buried in Arlington National Cemetery, name Judge Amy Coney Barrett to succeed her. There are several great reasons why you should choose her instead of the other candidates.

First, she has already been thoroughly vetted and moderately hassled by the Democrats. She can not only take the heat, but I doubt there will not be any surprises with her. Unlike the others, she is a known commodity. With her, the chances of an unacceptable issue arising are practically nil.

Second, as the mother of seven children, two of whom are Haitian adoptees, she has a squeaky clean reputation. Even if she wanted to have an affair, there’s no way she would have time to engage in one. So, let the Democrats go after her character between now and the time of the election. This will definitely work in your favor.

Third, let them attack her Catholic values. This will put Biden and Pelosi on the defensive. They would have to explain they wear ashes on their foreheads for Lent while vilifying a fellow Catholic for her faith.

Fourth, have Senator McConnell schedule the vote for the week of October 26th. That way, Barrett will be the campaign issue all the way until the end. It’s a winning issue for you,. The longer the Democrats are nasty to a Catholic woman the better it is for you. This will offend Catholics and Evangelicals in PA, WI, MI, MN, and even in FL and NC. There is no downside to this.

Fifth, the greater the emphasis upon her Confirmation the better it is for your reelection. In the last election, when push came to shove, the authority to appoint Justices to the Supreme Court trumped every other issue in the minds of your voters. It’s why you won and it may be the reason you are reelected.

RBG’s death was providential. The timing has jettisoned all of the dirty tricks the Democrats have been planning. Now, with no preparation, they have to focus exclusively on trying to stop Judge Barrett from being confirmed, and they don’t have any realistic way to succeed.

MURKOWSKI Is on the Wrong Side and Will Pay for It

COMMON SENSE: Have you ever noticed how committed each of the Democrats are, whether in the Senate of the House of Representatives, to the position of their Party’s leadership? None of them ever balk, hem and haw, or flatly refuse to maintain the Party line. When the issue is important or even moderately so, they stick together, fearless of the repercussions.

Now, juxtapose this with the Republicans. They are as fickle as a pretty high school cheerleader. It seems like there are always a few of them with their fingers in the wind trying to discern which way their political fortunes will blow. They consider their vacillation to be an estimable character quality, something their constituents will reward. In reality, it is the exact opposite.

Take Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski for example. When President Trump announced he would make a nomination to fulfill the Supreme Court vacancy left by Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death, which is his Constitutional responsibility to do, Senator Murkowski couldn’t wait to announce that she would not vote to confirm his nominee, regardless of who it might be. In her twisted, disloyal and self-serving thinking, she believes she is doing the right thing, but she is mistaken.

Those in Alaska who voted for her want Trump to change the makeup of the Supreme Court. They want this very badly, but Murkowski is more fearful of offending Senator Feinstein and the other Democrats in the Senate than she is of having to explain her treachery to her Alaska constituents.

This is wrong thinking. Her misplaced loyalty will cost the Senator her seat in 2022. Alaskans will not stand for what she intends to do, nor should they. My advice to her is to change her position immediately. She does not want to be associated with the shenanigans the Democrats are certain to attempt to derail Trump’s nominee, but this is what she is doing. She may try to make a distinction but there isn’t one.

Instead of championing weakness, Murkowski, along with Susan Collins of Maine, needs to show some gumption. Make a principled stand to support Constitutional Conservatism and allow the good people of Alaska and Maine to stand behind their Senators based on their righteous decision to stand with President Trump. This is not only the right thing to do but also the politically wise position to maintain.

CHANGING THE SUPREME COURT Is Why We Elected Trump

 

COMMON SENSE: When Donald J. Trump stepped onto the political stage, with all of his strengths, flaws and idiosyncrasies, a large segment of the American electorate embraces him immediately. They loved his brash ways but, more than anything, they believed him when he promised to Make America Great Again. This included changing the Supreme Court from Liberal to Conservative. Trump made a commitment to us, the American people, to do this. This is what his supporters wanted. It’s still what they want. It’s certainly what I want.

With the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who should have retired years ago due to her declining health, President Trump now has the opportunity to fulfill his commitment. He has the power to change the philosophical direction of the Supreme Court profoundly, returning it to its Conservative, strict-constructionist foundation. Ginsburg’s departure provides the President with a perfect opportunity to fulfill his promise to the American people to Make America Great Again.

To his credit, he has not flinched or hesitated to do exactly what we elected him to do. He has boldly embraced the moment. By the end of the week, shortly after RBG is buried, he will announce her replacement. This is exactly what he should do.

Recognizing that a fundamental shift in power is about to happen, the Democrats intend to make the future nominee’s life miserable, regardless of whom she happens to be, Trump’s life miserable, and by proxy our lives miserable—you and me. They have it within their power to do this, but they do not have it in their power to stop us. That is, unless four Republican Senators become weak-willed and join the Democrats in their opposing Trump’s nominee.

Sadly, perhaps tragically, several of our Republican Senators are great at talking the talk but are unwilling to take a principled stand to walk the walk. In their foolish hearts, they believe that opposition to Trump’s nominee would be the safest position for them to take, but they are mistaken. Like infidelity in marriage, once trust is broken with their constituencies, it would be nearly impossible to restore.

So, with all eyes on Senators Collins, Murkowski and Romney, we shall see what they will do. If they prove to be Quislings, they will pay a huge political price for it. Like someone walking the long green mile, this vote would prove to be the end of their political careers. If they are treacherous, they will have brought their demises upon themselves.

Replacing RBG Immediately Demonstrates Trump’s Decisive Leadership

COMMON SENSE: Suddenly, the Democrats are interested in tradition and decorum. Led by Barack Hussein Obama himself, who has cast tradition to the wind by injecting himself into the political fray, something former Presidents have refrained from doing, labeling it inappropriate, America’s first black President says President Trump should wait until the inauguration of the next President to appoint Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s successor.

RBG felt the same way. On her deathbed, she dictated this to her granddaughter, Clara Spera. “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.” In America, where sentimentalism often overrules wisdom, granting people their dying wish has always been something we have tried to accommodate. In this case, however, the Democrats are attempting to use Ginsberg’s inappropriate request to derail Trump from moving forward with a new nomination. They want sappiness to overrule Trump being responsible to those who elected him to put America’s needs above everything else.

Here’s the point. The Democrats, the media and the Radical Left will do anything they can to circumvent Trump from fulfilling his Constitutional duty to appoint a new justice before the November election. To Trump’s credit, he is ignoring the noise and their threats by moving forward. This is what a true leader does, and that’s exactly what Trump is, an alpha male leader.

Other Presidents have done the same thing sixteen times since 1900, so there is definitely historical precedent for Trump to make a new appointment swiftly. RBG’s dying wish was nothing more than a bitter old woman’s desire to control the future, even after her death. The seat she occupied is the peoples’ seat, not hers. She was just the most recent occupant. Obama’s inappropriate interference is just his latest attempt to interfere in Trump’s Presidency. This is something Obama started doing even before Trump was sworn into office.

Let the Democrats, the media, and the Radicals holler, chafe, and riot all they want. Meanwhile, Trump will appoint a female Constitutional Conservative to fill the vacancy left by Ginsburg’s death, and Senator McConnell will guide the appointee to Senatorial confirmation. As Obama was famous for saying, “Elections have consequences.” Trump’s ability to change the makeup of the Supreme Court is just one of them. Check this off as another win for Trump.

TRUMP: Appoint a Conservative Woman to the Supreme Court Immediately

 

COMMON SENSE: With the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the stakes for the Presidential Election couldn’t get much higher. Being 2020, why would we expect anything less. The question is what will President Trump do? Will he appoint someone immediately, this close to the election, or will he defer until after the election?

 

Here’s what I believe he will do and why: I think Trump will make an appointment next week, and I hope he does. After all, it is for such a time as this that we have elected him in the first place. Without having a strong, Conservative Supreme Court, nothing we are now doing will have lasting effect anyway. To make an appointment to replace RBG at this late date, however,  would require very strong leadership—the kind of leadership Trump has consistently demonstrated by standing up for America since he was first elected.

 

He needs to make the appointment because there is no guarantee he will win reelection, although I firmly believe he will. There’s are other variables as well. Currently, the Republicans hold the Senate but not by much. If we lose the Senate, which is possible, a Schumer Senate would never confirm anyone Trump appoints. We would have an empty seat on the Supreme Court for years.

 

If Biden wins the election, God forbid, he will appoint someone as liberal as RBG. Count on it. So, it’s imperative that Trump seize this opportunity and make the nomination. It is equally as important that Senator McConnell hold the Republican Senators in line. Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski has already indicated she would not vote to confirm anybody until after the election, so we are already down one vote, and who knows what Romney will do.

 

There are also those who will advise Trump to hold off because they are afraid of the wrath of the Radical Left, but I am not one of them. To placate the Radicals, they will want to nominate a Centrist, but this would be a catastrophic error. To retake our nation from the Left and from the Deep State, we need bold, decisive leadership. Appointing a strong, Conservative woman would do just that. I believe this is what Trump will do, and it is what I urge him to do so.
