Although Republican lawmakers were confronted with shouting, screaming mobs during their February recess, they have no one to blame but themselves\u2026 or one of their not-dry-behind-the-ears<\/a> staffers who wouldn\u2019t know a leftist political assault from a Girl Scout picnic. \u00a0Someone in their capital offices or in their district offices should have known that a George Soros\/Barack Obama-linked organization called \u201cIndivisible\u201d planned to turn their town hall meetings into rowdy shouting matches.\u00a0 Their goal was to create an impression that the congressman or senator was very unpopular with voters and they were somewhat successful in creating that impression.<\/p>\n

Indivisible protesters claim a kinship with the Tea Party, but like almost everything else we hear from liberals and Democrats, those claims are totally without merit. For starters, it should be noted that Tea Party activists are all people who are for<\/em> something, while liberals and Democrats, including the troublemakers of Indivisible, refuse to say what they\u2019re actually for<\/em>… other than the early departure of Donald Trump from the White House.<\/p>\n

What that should tell us is that there are an awful lot of people in Washington with a \u201cD\u201d behind their names who have far too much free time on their hands. As our mothers used to caution us, \u201cidle hands are the Devil’s play-things.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time that Donald Trump and congressional Republicans took off the gloves and played a little political hardball. They might want to give Obama and the Democrats something to think about by preparing a list of \u201choney-dos\u201d guaranteed to hold the interest of Democrats.\u00a0 For starters, Republican congressional leaders should announce plans for an audit of Obama\u2019s 2009 stimulus program, a $787 billion boondoggle passed by Congress in February 2009.\u00a0 What happened to the $787 billion that was to be spent on \u201cshovel ready\u201d projects when, by Obama\u2019s own admission, they couldn\u2019t find many \u201cshovel ready\u201d projects?\u00a0 Once again, like much of what Democrats do, the stimulus was a solution in search of a problem.\u00a0 Nevertheless, we do need to know exactly who walked off with nearly a trillion dollars of taxpayer money.<\/p>\n

Now that Obama has let it be known that he\u2019s ready to come out of retirement to lead a \u201cshadow government,\u201d Trump may want to lay a little trap for him as payback for the humiliation he suffered at the 2012 White House Correspondent\u2019s dinner when Obama publicly ridiculed him for being a \u201cbirther.\u201d The White House could hint that Trump, after several months in office, was considering inviting Obama back to the Oval Office for a general discussion on several knotty international and domestic problems.\u00a0 However, in order to accommodate that discussion, it would be necessary to verify that Obama\u2019s security clearance was up to date.\u00a0 And when the White House staff found that Obama cannot pass the same Homeland Security E-Verify test that all green card applicants must pass in order to work in the United States… all E-Verify attempts using Obama\u2019s name and Social Security number from his federal and state tax returns produce a \u201cno match\u201d response… they would quietly, and without fanfare, appear to drop the issue.<\/p>\n

However, the White House press corps, always anxious to add another nail to Trump\u2019s coffin, could be expected to press for an answer, fearful that Obama was being \u201cdissed\u201d by Donald Trump. The White House press secretary would then attempt to avoid the issue, saying that the idea was still \u201cunder consideration.\u201d\u00a0 But, as pressure built within the White House press corps for a Trump response, a carefully placed \u201cleak\u201d could let the story out.\u00a0 Then, in Sean Spicer\u2019s daily press briefing, he could finally be forced to \u201ccome clean.\u201d\u00a0 By that time, everyone in the country would know that President Trump would be unable to share classified information with Obama because he has been using a stolen Social Security number for many years and cannot qualify for access to confidential, secret, or top secret information.<\/p>\n

Turning to the illegal immigration issue, the Trump administration should not delay plans to implement a cutoff of federal funding to cities and states that have declared themselves to be \u201csanctuaries\u201d for illegal aliens. If those cities and states insist on actively defying U.S. law, acting as accomplices to millions of illegal aliens, there must be a price to pay.\u00a0 All of those members of the Hollywood entertainment community who couldn\u2019t help but sneak in a few anti-Trump digs as they accepted their awards on Oscar night will have to be taught a bit of humility.<\/p>\n

According to estimates prepared by a California legislative committee, the State of California receives some $368 billion each year in federal support, 77% of which (some $283.4 billion) goes to individuals and corporations to cover the costs of Social Security, Medicare, defense contracts, federal civilian wages and salaries, military wages and salaries, veterans benefits, non-defense contracts, federal retiree benefits, etc. The remaining $84.6 billion goes directly to state and local governments.\u00a0 Presumably, it is that $84.6 billion that the Trump administration would\u00a0 target.\u00a0 So how would Californians respond?\u00a0 Realizing that the IRS can\u2019t put tens of thousands of wealthy Californians behind bars, what we might expect to see is mass avoidance of federal income taxes.\u00a0 And how would the IRS respond to that?\u00a0 More than likely the IRS would choose to levy penalties and interest on individual taxpayers.\u00a0 And when the tax bills remained unpaid, the IRS would begin to attach bank accounts and to file liens on real property.<\/p>\n

And finally, if money truly is the \u201cmother\u2019s milk\u201d of politics, then George Soros and his Open Society Foundation are an entire dairy farm for the Democrat Party and every other radical left pressure group and anti-American organization on Earth.<\/p>\n

Soros immigrated to the United States in 1956 and became a naturalized U.S. citizen on December 18, 1961. A Hungarian Jew, Soros worked for the Waffen SS<\/em> in Hungary during World War II, delivering eviction notices to Jewish businessmen and shopkeepers and helping the Nazis dispose of Jewish property and personal belongings.\u00a0 Not only has he not expressed remorse for his role in dispossessing untold numbers of fellow Jews, many of whom later died in Nazi concentration camps, he has said in an interview that he considers the year he spent working for the Nazis in Budapest \u201cthe happiest time\u201d of his life.<\/p>\n

Just four years before Soros arrived in the U.S., another World War II refugee, 32-year-old Ukrainian Ivan Demjanjuk, arrived in New York with his wife and child. The Demjanjuks lived in Indiana for a time but later settled in the Cleveland, Ohio, area where Demjanjuk worked as a diesel engine mechanic at a Ford Motor Company assembly plant.\u00a0 He applied for citizenship and became a naturalized U.S. citizen on November 14, 1958. His story is an interesting one.<\/p>\n

At the outbreak of World War II, while working as a tractor driver on a Ukrainian collective farm, Demjanjuk was drafted into the Soviet Army. However, after being captured by German forces and sent to a POW camp, he and other Ukrainian prisoners, knowing that their lot in life would be far better in the German army than to be subjected to the cruelties of the Russian army, put on German uniforms and agreed to join forces with the Germans to fight the Russians.<\/p>\n

Demjanjuk was transferred to a German POW camp at Sobibor, in occupied Poland, where he was assigned duty as a guard.\u00a0 When the war ended and members of the enlisted ranks were disarmed and sent home, Demjanjuk took his family and sailed for New York.\u00a0 However, in 1975, a Ukrainian newspaper published a list of names of ethnic Ukrainians living in the United States.\u00a0 Demjanjuk\u2019s name was on the list and it was only a matter of time before Nazi hunters compared that list to a list of names of those who had worked in Nazi concentration camps.<\/p>\n

Demjanjuk\u2019s U.S. citizenship was revoked for failure to disclose the nature of his service in the German army and he was deported to Israel for trial. However, the Israeli court failed to convict him and he returned to Cleveland where he rejoined his wife and three children.\u00a0 But the U.S. Government was not finished with him.\u00a0 And although his citizenship was restored in 1998, the U.S. Department of Justice claimed new evidence was found against him and revoked his citizenship a second time in 2002.\u00a0 However, when no country would accept him he remained in the U.S. until April 2, 2009, when Germany agreed to try him in a German federal court.<\/p>\n

Demjanjuk, gravely ill, was taken from his home in Cleveland on a stretcher, transported to the airport by ambulance, and flown to Munich. On July 13, 2011, 91-year-old John Demjanjuk was wheeled into a Munich courtroom where he was charged with having been an \u201caccessory\u201d to the murder of 27,900 Jewish prisoners in the Sobibor concentration camp.\u00a0 He was found guilty on all counts and was sentenced to five years in prison.\u00a0 He died on March 17, 2012, a free man, while awaiting an appeal of his conviction.<\/p>\n

So the question arises: when is the last time someone reviewed George Soros\u2019s citizenship application?\u00a0 If Ivan Demjanjuk could be hounded to death because he failed to fully disclose his wartime experience as a prison guard in the German army, why was Soros given a pass for his role as a functionary of the Nazi Waffen SS<\/em>?\u00a0 Or did he simply lie about his wartime service?<\/p>\n

As matters now stand, Trump\u2019s most dangerous and implacable enemies are a \u201cloose cannon\u201d ex-president with delusions of grandeur and an aging international billionaire who hates America and its people and who will spend whatever it takes to do us harm.<\/p>\n

Barack Obama and George Soros are the Bobbsey Twins of the \u201chate America\u201d movement, and so long as they are free to do so they will do everything in their power to bring our great nation to its knees. As liberals and Democrats accelerate their campaign to delegitimize the Trump presidency, let us hope that he will not hesitate to use the power and the influence of his office to rid the nation of those poisonous influences.<\/p>\n
