You're Not Entitled to a "Living Wage"

Why the heck do we need a minimum wage in the first place? Many will say it's not so much a minimum wage as it’s a “living wage”. That has to be my favorite term the liberal morons coin for the idea of being entitled to a specific wage for menial work. I get it that it can be hard to get by on low wages but nowhere else in the world does one have the upward mobility like we do here in America!

The libs like to compare us to countries in Europe where the citizens are coddled, “University” is paid for by the government and everyone lives happily ever after. That couldn't be further from the truth! How would you feel of at least half of your earnings were being assumed by your government? Would that strengthen your work ethic or would that lead you to be less motivated as you knew that half of what you are earning doing your job is being stolen from you.

Another aspect of the minimum wage debate that often times goes unnoticed is the FACT that minimum wage was NEVER intended to be a lifetime salary or was it intended to be a salary from which one could raise a family! I'm sorry but no one is entitled to have an income from which they can raise a family by way of those who are working harder and longer hours and barely making ends meet! It's not the responsibility of others to provide economic stability for those who make poor life choices. Additionally, minimum wage is designed to be a stepping stone. If someone were to begin a job at minimum wage they have more opportunity here than anywhere else in the world to work past that starting salary and really earn a decent living so long as they apply themselves!

The mandated increase in minimum wage throughout the country is already have negative consequences especially for small business owners!

According to The Daily Signal,

After more than a decade at the helm of her bookstore, Ann Kinner faces an uncertain future because of new measures at the city and state level to raise the minimum wage.

On June 7, San Diego residents will vote on a ballot measure to raise the city’s minimum wage to $11.50 an hour in 2017.

This is just one of the many horror stories that we are seeing come from the proposed minimum wage increases around the country. What people fail to understand is that just because government mandates a higher wage doesn't mean small businesses can afford to pay that to their employees said wage. Maybe of the government got off of the backs of small business owners and reduced regulations and taxes levied apon them they'd have the resources to organically pay their employees more without the need for a government mandated wage altogether!

The Daily Signal goes on to explain,

Over the last few years, the store owner has reduced her number of employees, lessened her business hours, and cut her own salary to keep up with increased labor costs.

“I just want to survive,” she told The Daily Signal.

The ridiculous mandates being passed down from local and state municipalities are putting small business owners in a dire predicament. They are being forced to choose between the very survival of their business and the hiring and firing of employees!

New York Times Needs to Release Trump Audio

Since Donald Trump announced his run for president on June 16th of 2015 we have all witnessed his meteoric rise to political stardom as from the start he has been saying everything the American people want to hear. From bringing jobs back to the United States from overseas to addressing the illegal immigration issue, Trump seems to have the answers to all of the problems plaguing our country. There's only one problem, what experience does this individual have that truly makes him a viable candidate to become leader of the free world.

I agree it can be easy to get caught up in much of Trump’s rhetoric as he plays on the emotions of the American people much like what many liberal Democrats do and it is essential we all look past the emotional aspect of what he speaks about and get at the heart of what it is he stands for. We must vet Trump like we would any other candidate vying for the office of the president and be sure we hold him accountable. As is the case we must look into any and all allegations regarding his stance on things like immigration, a topic he speaks very strongly about.

According to BuzzFeed,

The New York Times is sitting on an audio recording that some of its staff believes could deal a serious blow to Donald Trump, who, in an off-the-record meeting with the newspaper, called into question whether he would stand by his own immigration views.

I get it that the source in question here is indeed the liberals beloved New York Times but nonetheless the Donald did an interview with them and I don’t necessarily think they would just make up the possibility that they have in their possession a recording like this.  The question then becomes do that have the balls to release this recording.  Just recently there reports surfaced that Trump intends to consider lobbying to have libel laws changed in this country as much of the reporting on him lately hasn’t been what one would call positive.  This would be the ultimate test as of late, a test that would really shed some light on Trump’s true colors with regards to how he would address a media outlet that would be willing to release some truly damaging audio against him.

Trump appeared on Hannity last night to address the concerns brought about by the New York Times and yet again we are met with his typical vagueness. Trump never really seems to get at the heart of the issues, he constantly speaks in platitudes explaining that we’re just going to get it done.  Never does he say how we are going to get it done, what the ramifications would be to the American people to fund said projects, and what the exact long term goals of the project include.

According to Politico,

“The New York Times is claiming today that they had an off-the-record conversation with you in January,” Hannity started.

“We had a board meeting, it was off-the-record, suddenly they leak it, it’s all over the place,” Trump said.

“They said it’s negotiable on the wall,” Hannity said in reference to Trump’s stance on Mexican immigration and his oft-stated promise to build a border wall.

“By the way it is negotiable. Things are negotiable,” Trump said. “I’ll make the wall 2 feet shorter or something.”

Trump was quick to add that the negotiation does not include nixing the idea altogether.

“Building it? Not negotiable.”

“Would it be negotiable about the 11 million?” Hannity pressed. “Maybe let some people stay if they register in a period of time?”

“I would say this,” Trump answered. “We will work out some system that’s fair, but we either have a country or we don’t. We need a border. We need a wall.”

So Trump is upset with the sudden leak from the New York Times, well Mr. Trump welcome to politics.  You want to run for President this is what you’re faced with and you simply cannot run around here crying about how you want to change libel laws because you don’t like the news coverage about you. And Trump finishes his time with Hannity like he does most of his speeches, concentrating on one of the issues that is near and dear to the American people, building the border wall.  I truly hope that if elected he is able to do what he is promising. I guess we’ll find out.

Do We Really Want Trump?

I haven’t really talked too much about the presidential debates or the candidates running for the nominations on either side as I try and concentrate on the here and now and reach out to the millennial generation to get them to understand the ramifications of what is taking place right before our very eyes.  But one cannot help but get caught up in the hoopla surrounding those vying for the presidential nomination on both sides of the aisle.

On the Republican side we have Trump who is a rabble rouser and is stirring things up speaking on issues we all want addressed, we have Ted Cruz who is the true Conservative of the bunch and has tried numerous cases before the Supreme Court and attended both Princeton and Harvard Law school, and Marco Rubio who many aren't quite sure what he stands for as he has had differing opinions on issues like immigration.

I have also spoke about Bernie Sanders quite a bit because I feel that many in the millennial generation are beginning to buy into his ridiculous ideals that would lead us down the road to a socialistic society turning this country into something that would be unrecognizable within just a few years. With promises like free college for all and free healthcare the millennial generation is buying into his socialist style promises not realizing that eventually the rich who Sanders wants to foot the bill will eventually run out of money!

What I haven’t delved into much is the whole Trump debate and whether or not he would make a good president.

While it's looking like Hillary Clinton is a lock for the Democrat nod for president, the Republican nomination is still up for grabs. We are now faced with the decision of whether or not we want to Trump who is looking more like a tyrant or Cruz who is an accomplished Conservative minded individual to represent us as our parties pick for president come 2016.

This divisiveness within the Republican party that is becoming more prevalent today is a direct result of the inaction of many of the Republicans we have elected into both the House and the Senate! We have seen much infighting within the Republican party over the last decade or so between the establishment and the tea party, the tea party that has really gained momentum over the past few years.  As more and more people are beginning to finally wake up to what's going on, we are witnessing a quick rise in conservative minded individuals who are taking more of an interest in the Constitution.  The rise in the tea party and the witnessing of the rapid decline of the state of this country led me to gain more of an interest in the Constitution and motivated me to try and become more involved and do what I can to affect change.  I have been motivated to get the word out and speak to truth the constitutional principles this country was founded upon, that being life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

This further exemplifies the importance of the upcoming election where we are faced with a decision that could not only affect the upcoming 4 to 8 years but could have lasting ramifications that may be felt for generations! We are seeing Trump gain in popularity as he is playing off of the anger and emotions of the American people. As I previously explained, the American people are fed up with the inaction of many of our representatives in both the House and the Senate and this has led to the blind following that Trump is receiving! A following that eerily resembles what we witnessed with Obama in 2008 and we all know how that turned out!

As time has gone by we have seen many of the conservatives become angry at the direction in which this country is headed.  We have seen anger on social media, in the news, at protests, and each step along the way we have seen the radical left sit there at push the narrative about the “right wing nuts” as they like to refer to many of us as.  And then along comes an individual who truly said what we all conservatives wanted to hear.  This individual spoke about building a wall along our border with Mexico that we have wanted since the Reagan administration, this individual played on the fear and trepidation against muslims after various terror attacks, this person leverage any and every news incident of the day to his advantage to play on the heartstrings of the american people to get them riled up and motivated to affect change.  

While this all sounds dandy, but one must take a step back and truly ask themselves is the decision I'm making to back whoever it is one decides to back for the presidential bid a rational one. Am I acting based on emotion, or am I acting based I  sound reasoning and logic? Am I acting based upon my anger and frustration over the state of this country which is a direct result of the wussy Republicans in Congress who refuse to stand up for what it is we elected them to do? Please ask yourself these questions and do your due diligence before you make your decision as the ramifications of the decision you make could be felt for a long time to come!

Black Lives Matter Thugs Assault Marine

It is truly a sad state of affairs in this country when you see a former servicemen assaulted by a group of little thugs, and the idea that this was all done in the name of the black lives matter movement!

According to The Daily Caller,

A former Marine became the target of an alleged assault in a McDonald’s Friday night, as a crowd of youths cornered him and demanded he answer the question, “do you believe black lives matter?” Before knocking him unconscious and robbing him.

Christopher Marquez, a veteran of Iraq and recipient of the Bronze Star for valor, said he was dining at a McDonald’s in northwest D.C. when a group of black teenagers came up to him and allegedly began harassing him about the black lives matter movement. Marquez ignored them which prompted calls and shouts that he was a racist.

Marquez left the establishment after eating, but allegedly sustained a sudden blow to the back of his head outside the McDonald’s, which knocked him unconscious. When he woke up, his pants were ripped and wallet gone, which contained $400 in cash, three credit cards, his VA medical card, school identification, metro card and driver’s license.

This is the type of behavior motivated by the black lives matter bullshit!! These lowlife, piece of shit, thugs walk up to a decorated Marine while he's out to eat by himself and ask if he knew about black lives matter and he ignored the assholes. Surely enough when he left he was mugged and robbed!

Where's the outrage over this? If the black lives matter people claim to be a legitimate organization where are their supposed leaders coming out condemning this heinous incident? You won't hear anything from anyone over this because it was a bunch of little THUGS robbing a white guy and frankly when these types of things occur no one really gives a shit.

And on top of that I'll be called a racist for speaking out and condemning the jack asses that did this. I'll be told I just don't understand black lives matter and the struggle and the idea that these were probably just misguided youth who had it so hard they just didn't know any better than to assault and rob someone in the name of "black lives matter".

The Daily Caller goes on to explain,

Credit card transactions reviewed by The DCNF reveal that the assailants charged over $115 on his various credit cards at a liquor store, Five Guys and Walmart. Mason, the McDonald’s store manager told Marquez that police have been looking for the group of teens for a previous incident.

“I believe this was a hate crime and I was targeted because of my skin color,” Marquez told The DCNF. “Too many of these types of attacks have been happening against white people by members of the black community and the majority of the main stream media refuses to report on it.”

Of course the mainstream media refuses to report on issues like this because it doesn't fit their agenda. They are in bed with the Obama administration which has stirred the pot of racism throughout his entire presidency! He ran on hope and change and duped the black community to vote for him under the guise he really cared about trying to help them all the while he has proved to be just like every other democrat. Just like every other democrat who has used the black community for votes and power. The black lives matter movement is a direct result of this failed president and his constant persistence to fan the fire creating a racial divide in this country that hasn't been seen in decades!
