The National Popular Vote compact could be a catastrophe for the country and its sponsors

{aei.org} ~ Colorado has now joined the National Popular Vote compact, meaning that states with a total of 181 electoral votes have signed up through legislation enacted by their legislatures and approved by their governors... If the electoral vote total of the signatory states reaches 270, the plan goes into effect. In that case, all the electoral votes of the signatory states are delivered to the winner of the national popular vote in the next presidential election. Accordingly, the person who receives the most popular votes in 2020 will automatically become president after all the litigation about the vote in states where it was close because that person will automatically receive the 270 electoral votes of all the signatory states.  Of course, the constitutionality of the plan can and will be challenged. But those who pushed it through the legislatures of California, New York, and Illinois, among others, deserve to sit in some electoral dunce corner because of their failure to understand the most basic facts about the American presidential electoral system. The principal flaw in the plan is its assumption that under the plan there will still be only two major parties competing for the presidency in 2020. The plan’s sponsors apparently do not realize that the reason we  have two parties is because of the electoral vote system — which requires a winning candidate to assemble a majority of the electoral college. That means, in effect, that only two parties can compete for the presidency. If the plan goes into effect, however, the parties become irrelevant, because it would no longer be necessary to assemble 270 electoral votes. That number of electoral votes would be assured to the winner of the popular vote. Accordingly, someone could win the presidency simply by assembling a plurality  — not even a majority — of the popular vote... This change is so ass-aline becaused by the dems lost of the last 2016 election. What a bunch of cry babies.

{washingtonpost.com} ~ On March 1, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stated: “any armed attack on Philippine forces, aircraft or public vessels in the South China Sea will trigger... mutual defense obligations under Article IV of our mutual defense treaty.” To many analysts, Pompeo’s statement appeared to be the most significant action the Trump administration has taken to “redouble our commitment to established alliances” in the Indo-Pacific region, as promised in the 2017 National Security Strategy. Yet, coming amid North Korea nuclear talks, India-Pakistan tensions, and China trade negotiations, the announcement made few headlines. Why did Pompeo make this statement — and what are the implications? Here’s what you need to know. This treaty commits the allies to “act to meet the common dangers” in case of an “armed attack on the metropolitan territory of either of the Parties, or on the island territories under its jurisdiction in the Pacific or on its armed forces, public vessels or aircraft in the Pacific.” It has long been unclear, however, whether the South China Sea falls “in the Pacific” — in which case the U.S.-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty would apply in the event of an armed attack there. If not, Manila would probably be on its own...

{spectator.org} ~ Last week, socialist-Beto O’Rourke, who in November lost his bid to be a U.S. senator from Texas, announced to America with great excitement that he’s running for president of the United States... A beaming socialist-Beto left the unmistakable impression that he could not wait to run — for our benefit as well as his. Here was a grandiose opportunity to bestow the gift of his person upon the eagerly awaiting masses. socialist-Beto O’Rourke’s announcement promised nothing less than a moment of truth — provided in the form of socialist-Beto O’Rourke. Practically hopping out of his seat, with his wife aside him on the verge of shaking pom-poms, the giddy, gushing 46-year-old proclaimed it “a defining moment of truth for this country.” He exudes a steady certainty that the electorate will not be able to get enough of him. Part childish, part girlish, he smacks of an American version of Justin Trudeau — i.e., a train-wreck. But socialist-Beto doesn’t seem to see himself that way. He looks in the mirror, or the nearest camera, and he discerns that voters will not be able to take their eyes off him, just as they cannot take their eyes off Miss Democratic Socialist, commie-Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. socialist-Beto and “commie-AOC” are two shiny kids in the left’s ideological candy-store, clamoring for attention among the progressive kiddies who fawn over them like prom-king and prom-queen. They bask in the attention. At 29 years old, with no life experience beyond college, waitressing, and bartending, Ms. commie-Ocasio-Cortez is confident that she can spearhead — as promised in her Green Red Deal — nothing less than a fundamental transformation of history’s most extraordinary nation. Knowing better than Jefferson and Madison and Washington and Adams and Hamilton and Franklin combined, she vows a mass plan to “mobilize every aspect of American society,” at a “national, social, and industrial level,” and “at a scale not seen since World War II.” One marvels at the sense of self-omniscience of this singular woman we’ve all been waiting for. She bears the wisdom of a thousand Ruths, a thousand Solomons, albeit one who has never met a payroll...

{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ When Saga Zhou first moved to the United States from China in 2009, she steered clear of politics. The Communist Party rules supreme in China... so most Chinese immigrants bring a built-in aversion to political involvement. But Zhou’s interest in politics was piqued as she began to see the American Left embracing policies that reminded her of those she’d fled in China. One such policy was the Left’s support for late-term abortion. When she lived in China, Zhou, like many young Chinese, didn’t consider abortion to be a big deal. But her view changed after moving to America, getting married, and bearing two children.“After I became a mother, my understanding about life fundamentally changed,” she told me when we met at a Panera Bread in Irvine. “Now I am totally a mother.” Zhou said her heart broke upon learning about a Virginia bill to loosen restrictions on late-term abortions. Appearing on a radio show as the bill was being debated, Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam pledged to sign the legislation, even suggesting it would sanction infanticide. “Oh, when I saw the news, I cannot even open the article,” Zhou said through tears. “It was really hard. I just felt something really strong into my chest. And then I said, ‘Let me adopt him, don’t kill him.'”...

Purim and the Book of Esther

{spectator.org} ~ Jews celebrate Purim this Wednesday night and Thursday. Orthodox Jews know what they are doing and why. This article will explain what the holiday is... how it is celebrated, and how we understand the Book of Esther. Non-Jews may find the first half interesting or not, and any student of the Old Testament will be interested in the discussion of the Book of Esther. Again, many will find the entirety too long. Skip all you like. Non-Orthodox Jews, the Jewish Democrat Liberals, will be spending the holiday persuading each other that there is no anti-Semitism in the Democrat Party, that Ilhan Omar is the modern-day Queen Esther, and that Haman was misunderstood. That all the misunderstanding with Haman could have been resolved with a simple Anti-Hate Resolution, expressing the sense of the Ahasuerian Government that it is wrong to be anti-Islamist, anti-Nazi, anti-Transgender, anti-Macedonia, anti-Medea, anti-Babylonia, anti-Ugaritic, anti-Transphobia, anti-Freedonia, anti-Septic, anti-Disestablishmentarianism, anti-Climactic, anti-Biotic, anti-Etam, aunti-Em, anti-Acid, ante-Lope, ante-Bellum, ante-Cedent, anti-Depressant, and anti-Dote. They then will skim through the Book of Esther, realize that Judaism actually is the diametric anti-Thesis of political liberalism, and will return to whatever false gods they worship. In this, they will find fellow faithful among Catholics like Nancy Pulosi, loose lips-Joe Biden, Madonna, Sinead O’Connor, and Andrew Cuomo; Protestants like the Episcopalian Tom $teyer, the Methodist scumbag/liar-Clintons and their new Methodist Grandchild Mezvinsky, and so many others; and their new-found heroes who wait to destroy Israel, including Rashida Tlaib, Linda Sarsour, Tamika Mallory, and their newest star, Ilhan Omar. Purim celebrates the miraculous deliverance from the evil designs of Haman and King Achashverosh (Ahasueres). In commemoration, Jews who observe the holiday properly do the following...  https://spectator.org/purim-and-the-book-of-esther/?utm_source=American%20Spectator%20Emails&utm_campaign=ea641ffdd5-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_03_20_04_29&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_797a38d487-ea641ffdd5-104608113

The End of the World ... Because Leftists 
Say So

Robin Smith:  “Climate change could trigger a civilization breakdown…” “The planet will face a disaster if people don’t turn this ship around…”
 

“Even with drastic, draconian, eugenic policies of population reduction — which are completely immoral — we wouldn’t save ourselves. We have to change the way we live…” “Climate change may wipe out humanity.”

Media around the globe reported these breathless, panicked statements from young adults and students called to walk out of class this past Friday. Any excuse to dodge class will do, but these students aimed to warn of the predicted apocalypse caused by the sin of fossil fuels and combustible engines — a fear driven by the belief that man-made global warming will soon, even within two decades according to some, end civilization as we know it.

The media originally heralded that more than one million students would skip class Friday. Reports of the actual walkouts are vague on the numbers of participants, however, citing thousands across the U.S. These students lent their presence to the Global Climate Strike inspired by a Swedish 16-year-old, Greta Thunberg, who spoke at the United Nations in December 2018 and was joined by Al Gore and his Climate Vanity Reality Project, in decrying the soon-to-be-heard death rattle of Mother Earth.

What exactly are these town criers declaring as truth?

First, all these “progressive” advocacy groups are parroting the mathematic equation that people plus fossil  fuels equal the end of all life on this planet. The fact that solar cycles and sunspots are known to be the largest contributors to the earth’s temperature — with measurable data demonstrating that temperature changes coincide more with solar changes and not CO2  concentration — doesn’t fit the talking points of those desperately wanting to implement the ecofascist  Green New Deal.

Second, the renewed belief in population control is critical — remember all Democrat roads lead back to the need for free birth control and abortion on demand. The evil Neanderthals-of-now are capable of downloading any smart-phone app but are somehow incapable of raising children that could possibly be good stewards of creation and its resources. The Left essentially acknowledges how stupid they believe humanity to be, hence, the “need” for socialism to confiscate all wealth, redistribute it, declare that which is and isn’t permitted for the good of the State, and ensure that the unwashed masses are controlled by “reproductive health services” and live as some universal population of the monitored and contained.

Not only has this doctrine of doom generated a militant group of environmentalists armed with radical legislative proposals that will cheer scarcity and state-sponsored oppression in some unproven theory with no sustainable energy and grazing, rather than consuming meat, but it’s yielded a movement devoted to remaining childless.

Blythe Pepino attended an Extinction Rebellion lecture a few years back and began her own advocacy group, BirthStrike, to voluntarily fight “climate breakdown and civilization collapse.” Her gospel is “about saying: ‘It is OK to make this choice, but it’s not OK to have to make this choice.’ We should never be in a situation where we are genuinely scared to bring life into the world.”

So, back to the math of these progressive prognosticators of peril, having no children is virtuous and clearly superior in the effort to save the planet — a space rock that, by the way, has already gone through catastrophic eras of epic change. But don’t confuse them with facts.

Applying the phrase of former Vice President Spiro Agnew, who had an intense conflict with the media of his day, to these deceived young adults who are foregoing a life of opportunity and authentic progress due to conjured up fear, these “nattering nabobs of negativism” have fallen victim to the tactic of their own movement. Don’t forget political theorist Saul Alinsky.

Of the 13 rules Alinsky authored and indoctrinated, number nine captures this entire philosophical approach to life rooted in fear: “The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.” In plain talk, living life flooded with worst-case scenarios as your belief of the future fueled by an imagination running wild full of consequences of doom, death, and destruction, leads adherents to adopt a life of desperation.

Not only are the youth and students who’ve been indoctrinated by these leftists of the faculty lounges of America preaching the apocalypse of our very existence, but they’ve fallen victim to their own contrived reality to the extent that they will make themselves extinct unless they successfully convert the masses to their idiocy. Remember, the Left must always have a permanent underclass dependent upon some greater power — which cannot possibly be God working through His created humanity to be self-reliant and free — that they will identify as the government run by their hardcore militants.

Yes, we must be good stewards of our world, its natural resources, our families, communities and our very own personhood. But, no, the end of the world won’t be due to cow farts or air travel.  ~The Patriot Post
