Once again, Sen. Jerry Moran, shows his political bent, which is in reality, he is actually a moderate Democrat at his core. He hates Trump and has, again, joined the Establishment Republicans who enjoy blocking anything-Trump – even to the ever-present danger to citizens of the United States presented by illegal immigration.

Moran’s vote to block Trump’s enactment of the National Emergencies Act is traitorous and shows total disregard to the threats to the American public and his support for unlimited illegal immigration of millions of foreigners who don’t know the word assimilation.

Moran apparently failed to look up and read the NEA (National Emergencies Act) and doesn’t understand the Constitution and its definitions of the powers of the president when it comes to immigration – plus all the subsequent Supreme Court rulings.

The 12 anti-Trump Republican Senators that voted against our President shows where conservatives need to clean house. They try to hide behind “past” votes upholding conservatism, like John McCain tried to ride his valiant military history for 40 years. 

McCain turned traitor simply because he hated Trump. He let that hate blind him to what was good for the majority of Americans. He single-handedly voted down repealing ObamaCare when he knew in his heart it was (and is) destroying health care in this country.

Now this:

“Newly unsealed court filings show how the late Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and an associate shared with the FBI and a host of media outlets (9) the unverified dossier that alleged the Russians had compromising information on now-President Trump,” according to a report by Adam Shaw, writing for Fox News online.

“McCain had denied being the source for BuzzFeed after it published the dossier, which was funded by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, but had acknowledged giving it to the FBI,” Shaw added.

In other words, McCain lied to Americans while trying to sway the voters against Trump.

Disgusting isn’t even close to what I’d like to say.

According to the National Emergencies Act, Sections 201 and 301, “The NEA authorizes the president to declare a national emergency, which declaration activates emergency powers contained in other federal statutes.”

I let Moran know in an email it’s not what you have done in the past – it’s what have you done for us lately. Moran turned against a majority of Kansans and Americans because he’s an anti-Trump Establishment Republican.

Disgusting, as well.

Moran is not up for re-election until 2022, but I pray Kansans never forget Moran supports illegal immigration regardless of the dangers it threatens to unleash on citizens of this country. He’s turned his back on you and me and invigorates open border socialists.

This kind of action gives hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants an incentive to head to America: Its okay to sneak across the border, sell your children to slave and sex traffickers, drag your kids 2,000 miles through country that can kill you, etcetera, etcetera. 

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said Tuesday the border situation had gone from a national emergency to a national crisis and now a national meltdown. She said statistics indicate 100,000 illegal immigrants will cross our southern border next month alone.

Yet, Moran joined other moderate Democrat Senators hiding under cover of the GOP banner that not only encourages more tragedy and suffering among immigrants, but turned their backs on American-born Americans. 

Why do these Socialist Democrats and the phoney GOP RINOs care more about illegals than those of us who were born and raised in this country, who love and treasure this country?

There are thousands of us who can trace our lineage to the Revolutionary War, where our ancestors decided they didn’t get to vote and went to war; fighting, bleeding and dying for the right to representative self-governance. 

Now, 230 years later, our elected representatives to Congress – including our shameful Sen. Jerry Moran – refuse to follow the will of the voters – exactly like the immoral actions of California’s Governor who decided to ignore the majority of voters there by halting the death penalty.

I’m reminded of part of a blog by Erik Kengaard, who I don’t know, regarding our border problems:

“Nothing has done more to diminish the quality of life for the United States’ middle class through higher housing (land) costs, greater competition for jobs, lower wages, higher taxes to pay for greater poverty, mortgage fraud, medicare fraud, tax fraud, other crime, higher taxes to pay for indigent healthcare (hospital closings), higher taxes for cost of public schools, price of college, degradation of the military, depletion of resources, burden on the taxpayer and overall congestion than the INCREASE of … illegal immigration.”

Amen. 

We need to teach these socialist autocrats who dismiss the voters a lesson at the polls – or maybe it’s time to go to war again. 

Indifference to the will of the governed leads to total chaos. And they’re not going to like the chaos they’re unleashing.
