The thoughts and ideas expressed above are exclusively those of Jack Straley and www.justplaintalkwithjack.com  We may agree, and that’s fine, or we may disagree, that’s okay too.  My sole purpose is to encourage others to think, study, and become involved. Exercise your freedom and above all, when presented the opportunity, please vote.

I live in the greatest country in the world.  I love my country and am thankful for being offered the opportunity to live here.  Is my country perfect? No, but it is the best on this planet.  We have freedoms no other country or people can imagine, yet we too often take it for granted and abuse the privileges we have.  We are losing freedoms every day.  The right for free speech, the right to assembly and the right to have and bear arms are being attacked as we sit idly by.

The Constitution, which gives progressive the freedom to act, is being attacked by these very people.  They misconstrue, take phrases out of context and simply make up false facts to serve their goals.  Every American should read, study and understand the Constitution.

There are thousands of people every day fighting to enter this country.  Are they all good people wanting in, no, but they aren’t all bad people either.  Any decent person wanting to enter this country legally should be given the opportunity to apply and go through the vetting process.  Those wishing to leave should be given the same courtesy and receive all due assistance in so doing.  The lines waiting to depart are short, very short.  Those attempting illegal entry should be stopped at the border and refused permanently the chance to enter, they become criminals by their actions.

I will debate and discuss any issue concerning my country with anyone at any time, I only ask we all abide by the rule of using facts and truth. I reiterate, use facts, not made up fictitious facts and do not become emotionally charged to the point of being irrational.  Most often members of the left will use fake news and made up facts to skirt the truth and argue the points being discussed.  When I disagree I should not be called a racist or a white supremacist and neither should I call others the same.

Currently radical elements are protesting at the homes of some Supreme Court Jurists over possible rulings that may be coming.  First off, it is illegal to protest at the residence of any jurist in an attempt to influence or sway the rulings they offer.  It is illegal and those breaking the law should be arrested and prosecuted.  Secondly, the ruling they are demonstrating against is a non-issue.  If the ruling comes down as expected it will not outlaw or ban abortions in any way, it will simply take the federal government out of the issue and refer it to the individual states.  Stop protesting and try to educate others on the merits of the issue and vote.  By voting you can cause change.

The biggest issue is the manner the information came to the public.  Washington has never been a place to keep a secret or secure information from becoming public.  However, the Supreme Court is the one arm of government that should be honored and revered.  The source of this leak should be investigated and determined then prosecuted to the fullest.  This is just another of the abuses perpetrated by the deep state.

The only way to control or eliminate the deep state is to radically downsize government.  In downsizing one of the first actions should be to cancel the Department of Education.  Schools can best be managed through local governance and parental involvement.  All school boards should be elected, not appointed, by an informed electorate.  They are our children and we need to be involved with their education.

Continuing the downsizing we should consider ridding ourselves of a corrupt F.B.I.  This organization has outgrown its founding purposes and goals and tramples the rights of Americans daily.  The entire D.O.J. should be gutted and downsized with specific guidelines to follow and be penalized when breaking the rules set forth.

Voter fraud is a cancer that will destroy any country if left unchecked.  Any individual committing the act of ballot stuffing, ballot harvesting or casting multiple votes should be arrested, prosecuted and denied the opportunity of participating in future elections.  The only way to save our republic is through safe, secure, and honest elections.  There is no other way.  Those Progressives fighting to destroy the Republic we have lived in need to be singled out, prosecuted and kept from ever holding public office again.  As they seek to slander, abuse and destroy conservatives, we must do the same to them.  Fight fire with fire, if Republicans are capable of such.

Become informed, become involved and vote.  It starts at the school board and ends at the White House, make your vote count.
