Yah, okay. Trump is mucked up.

ESPECIALLY in his ideas of deporting illegal invaders and putting tariffs on one-way "Free Trade" policies.

Update. Have to give this guy credit. Takes some guts to post this and he has nothing to gain. Just expressing his own views / opinions.

Special Message to All My Viewers and Subscribers​

My subscribership more than doubled after I posted a short unusual video that went viral. If you are one of these new subscribers, I want you to understand that my channel is really about fixing old tube radios. If you are a long time subscriber, be assured I will continue to post radio videos nearly every day as I have been doing for over ten years. I will post the occasional 'stand and deliver' video where I talk about Canada-US relations.

Trump Is Attempting to Use Wartime Powers in the United States​

Immediately after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed an “invasion” and invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. Under that law, the Roosevelt administration held more than 31,000 non–U.S. citizens of Japanese, German, and Italian descent in internment camps over the course of World War II. The great majority of them were detained as “dangerous” enemy aliens, a designation made by the government based primarily on their citizenship or place of birth and without anything approaching due process of law.

Today, we are seeing alarming echoes of this history. Deported under the same statute, a group of 137 Venezuelan immigrants is being held indefinitely in a Salvadoran prison notorious for human-rights abuses. Although the Trump administration claims that they are members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang, they have had no hearing to test that claim. The government has conceded in court filings that “many” of those removed under the Alien Enemies Act “have no criminal record in the United States”; some appear to have been targeted at least in part for having common tattoos, such as roses or crowns.

When MAGA Wakes Up​

I watched the first half of it, and jumped through the rest.

What he's saying, is essentially an argument for MAGA. Yes, most of us all know of Globalism, and how government Mission Creep on the WOT led to military adventurism by the little-penii people in two fraudulent Administrations.

What is the cure? Me, I think it's obvious, twofold - and impossible, political.

First SEAL THE BORDERS. No goods, no people. Severely limit - AND ENFORCE - tourist visas.

Second, CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT. CLARIFY the President's power over use of military (for force or any other purpose). STRICT requirements that any response to a sudden situation, need be APPROVED by a floor vote of Congress.

And, secondarily, we need term limits, and clarify States' rights to prosecute Congressional insider-trading stawk-millionaires.

None of these are going to happen.
