@GeneralChandler
Confederates are enemies of the United States and I think honoring them is adhering to them and giving them aid and comfort which makes Governor Williams a traitor

Federal police need to put Williams in cuffs again and this time get him convicted

"A good one, and better now that we finally are having a sit-down," Amaras replied, giving a firm handshake in return. "Please, take a seat. We have many things to discuss."

Thompson nodded, bringing his chair back a little from under the table so he could sit down. "Where do you want to start with this?" He questioned.

April 7th, 1991

Taylor Cox
Middle School
Somewhere in the USA


Sitting at one of the cafeteria tables with some of his friends, Cox was in the middle of the bunch of kids, eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, where he borrowed some quarters from one kid to get himself a chocolate bar. "When are they going to get the bloody A/C fixed?" Cox complained in his British accent. "I figure Principal Riley is going to keep it like that for the graffiti that was scrawled on the gym. He thinks one of us did it." one of Cox's friends said, munching on some fresh fruit and being on a juice cleanse from whatever vegetables his father gotten from the grocery store. "I just want school to end already. I wanna watch the World Championships with Carl Lewis." Cox complained again, when the school bell echoed in the cafeteria.

Walking down the hallway with some books in his hand, 14-year old Cox was heading to his next class, when another kid whom he recognized approached him. "Ah, Richie. I see you're here for the fireworks I asked for?" Cox said, smirking. "You're lucky that I had enough time to get them. My dad was having an anxiety attack over some butterflies eating out his eyeballs and my friend in Chinatown was such a moron." Richie said, getting out his backpack to hand Cox a set of sparklers and some firecrackers that popped when thrown onto the ground hard enough. "Finally, I use these for graduation, so I ditch this shebang of a shit hole." Cox remarked, as both of them eventually gotten to PE.

Coach Pearson was in his office in the locker room, watching some hygiene film as he usually does whenever he thinks he's alone. Everyone kept saying rumors that he escaped from prison, since the other boys said he has prison tattoos. However, Pearson actually got his tattoos homemade and cheap from a friend who does construction and got fired for overturning a hydraulic crane. "Richie, today we're using the gymnasium, so I need you at the pommel horse!" Pearson demanded to Richie, where he groaned in annoyance. Cox, meanwhile, pretended to have a full bladder, where he asked Pearson. "Coach, I gotta piss bad! I meet you in the field when I'm done!"

"Make it quick! You kids have been drinking too much water to get brain damage!" Pearson allowed Cox, as Cox went to the restroom nearby with some sparklers and a matchbox he got from his father's house. The restroom was conveniently empty, so Cox can enjoy not getting caught. Heading to an empty stall, Cox got out an unlit sparkler and got out the matchbox. Cox lit a match, where he carefully lit the top of the sparkler. For several seconds, Cox saw it sparkling in front of him.

Until the fire alarm erupted and the sprinklers spewed out water.

Cox forgotten that the smoke detectors were extremely sensitive, as the sparkler he was using was now drenched. Not wanting to get the blame, Cox immediately flushed it down the toilet, since the school might expect it to be some kid with a joint in their hands. Cox ran out of the stall, soaked. He nearly slipped and fell face-first on the bathroom floor, which had the habit of reeking of piss, but he managed to get out of there, before anyone noticed.

April 7th, 2017
Yodobashi Camera AKIBA
Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan


(Mood Music)

Cox arrived in the store, doing some browsing. After getting himself a tan from a salon from Shibuya, which barely mattered since Cox's skin tended to go back to being white, Cox went to go shopping near Chiyoda, looking for stuff to bring home. The rain was still pouring outside, but Cox didn't really mind. As he was checking out some cameras, he noticed a cheap-looking one that had a good deal. As he went to the cash register, the music in the store switched to an interesting tune, which Cox took note of. Was it J-Pop? "Excuse me, what's the name of this song playing?" Cox asked the guy behind the counter, as he was giving him money. "It's called Plastic Love. It's by Mariya Takeuchi." The guy said, in his best English possible.

"Huh, sounds like something I can take interest in." Cox thought, as he left the store with the song in his mind.

"Hello, I'm Senator Alois Kramer and I'm running for the Republican nomination for President in 2020."


"Throughout my 26 year congressional career I have had the great honour of speaking to Alabamans of a wide variety of political ideologies and opinions and have served as a uniter for both them and the American nation in both houses of Congress

"For example I can proudly say that when I first ran for the great honour of representing the people of Alabama's 4th District I united both blue and white collar Americans in order to for their best interests to be fought for and secured."

"When the Republican presidential primaries come round in 2020, remember to vote Kramer so America can have a great uniter in the Oval Office.

"What is your favorite kind of gun?" a young teenage boy asks.

Senator Wilson: "I honestly don't have a favorite. I do own a six-shooter for protection, and I have a District of Columbia concealed carry permit, but I cannot tell you what kind it is. I however fully support your right to carry a gun openly for personal protection, and I will not stand for high capacity magazine bans, gun permits, or any other infringement on your rights that cannot be justified. I tell you the Democrats are using Dillon to destroy stand you ground. I will not force citizens to retreat from threats, and it will pass only over my dead body."

Scotty's eyebrows rose at the mention of donors.

"Well, I am glad to hear that, just remember that if you focus on everything, you accomplish nothing. The Democratic Party has learned that many times, as well as the danger of agreements, especially from donors. I certainly hope that the Green Party can help ensure that their own values are not tainted by any such baggage."

I'm sorry but given the rough state of the auto industry in American today people are already less inclined to purchase cars which hurts the industry, a tariff won't increase car sales. I can't commit to a tariff which would potentially create foreign policy repercussions for our nation and do little to help consumers.

Melvin Freeman


Taking a sip from his tea, Melvin sat his glass back down onto the table, atop of a stone-coaster, and folded his hands in his lap, glancing out toward the backyard, eyeing the treeline, and slowly nodding his head.

"Well, I wouldn't consider it quite anywhere as impressive as many of the ones the professional astronomers use, those guys spare no expense, but it does help to have connections in conceiving of the designs of these sort of things."

Melvin darted his eyes back toward Reginaldo, as he continued. "In fact, an astronomer colleague of mine made me the blueprint for the contractors to go off of. The one we've got is just a smaller version of the kind of you'd find on the campus of MIT, or elsewhere. Still, doesn't make it cheap necessarily, but I let the people from Westfield State, which is just down the road, use it anytime they want. A few of our neighbors too, from time-to-time."

"We open it up to everyone who wants to come by during things like lunar eclipses, and other celestial events that are visible from the Earth's surface."

Glen Anderson Campaign Stop #20
California University of Pennsylvania, Washington County

Image

“California University of Pennsylvania?” Glen thought reading over his notes on the county “Confusing name…”

Glen wanted to make big traction in the area around Pittsburgh, his appeal to blue collar and industrial communities worked perfectly there, it was full of people who wanted jobs to come back, to make something again, they were angry and ready to reject a continuation of an administration that had spent 7 years ignoring them. At least that’s what Anderson hoped, and what the polling seemed to suggest.

Washington County was another county in what was considered the Pittsburgh region, he toured the place primarily talking to PTA groups and other concerned parents of schools where he promised expansions of school choice programs, ESAs and tax credits as well as support for Pittsburgh’s New Teacher Improvement System which the teachers union was trying to destroy.

Image

"Thank you all for being here today, and for caring enough about our great state to be involved in this effort to Get Pennsylvania Working for the better. This is an incredible turnout and its truly humbling.”

“Let me begin by introducing myself, I am Congressman Glen Anderson I was born in Lebanon and I have devoted my life to public service. Since I first start representing the 17th district in 2012 I have constantly asked myself, ‘how do I best serve my state?’ Searching for an answer to that question I have traveled to every corner of the state, from my alma mater Penn State, to the streets of Philadelphia, the rusted factories of Erie, to the farms of Lancaster I have consistently traveled and spoke to countless residents of our state, people from all walks of life about their concerns and hopes.”

“The common theme I've been hearing is frustration. People everywhere see a real disconnect between Harrisburg and the rest of Pennsylvania. We feel that not only are our elected leaders not solving the serious problems that face us, but that they are actually causing the problems, and making things worse.”

“The average Pennsylvanian sees a governor and a legislature willing to impose record tax increases on the rest of us that we don't need, don't want, and simply cannot afford.”

“We are perfectly situated to become the strongest state in the union, a economic powerhouse. 1/3rd of our nation’s population is within a 24 hour drive, we have a strong work ethic, our universities are leading advanced research that will change the way we live, and yet every day I see our state hemorrhaging jobs, businesses, and taxpayers at an alarming rate, with no discernible response, or action from Harrisburg other than imposing more taxes and stressing our economy to the breaking point.”

“Regardless of party the people of our state constantly tell me we are heading in the wrong direction, and through all my discussions, my travels across the state and country it has become abundantly clear that our state cannot change direction without changing governors, that is why I am running for governor, to get Pennsylvania working again, I refuse to accept the status quo, the politics as usual.”

“Let me tell you what i stand for... I’m proud to say that in during my tenure in congress, i’ve fought to expand healthcare to our first responders, I have championed education, supporting Education Savings Accounts and merit pay for teachers. Just this year I introduced bills in Congress designed to strengthen our pediatric workforce, to protect and encourage innovation for small businesses, to reform onerous regulations stifling the growth of our communities, and to start a grant program to rehabilitate our crumbling schools. I proudly introduced the “21st Century Agriculture Act of 2017” which will revolutionize how we farm and improving quality of life across the state. I’m Pro-Life, Pro-Free Speech, Pro-Second Amendment, Pro-Student, Pro-Small Business and Firmly against the bloated government and fiscal irresponsibility of Harrisburg.”

“As it stands today Harrisburg has 150,000 pages worth of regulations that impact business and every single citizen, we have a heroin and opioid crisis, we have a skilled labor crisis, we have an economy has stay flat for years under the current administration. And for every problem facing our state, the current administration seems to only find one solution… raise taxes.”

“Harrisburg looks out for itself not the state, from day one as governor I will push to cut property taxes, cut wasteful spending and work to create a more efficient government in Harrisburg that works for the people of our state. I pledge that as your governor I will begin a policy of zero based budgeting, we will track every dollar being spent and we will treat with respect every single one. Despite claims to the contrary I can tell you that Harrisburg does not have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem, and today I am calling on the state legislature to begin working on a taxpayer bill of rights.”

“We're standing up for the thousands of Pennsylvanians who are losing their pensions because of politics and incompetence. We're standing up for the Pennsylvanian’s who have lost their jobs and we're standing up for their families who are struggling to make ends meet. We're standing up for those thousands of small business owners who have closed their doors, and the thousands of others who are struggling just to keep them open.”

“I know the anxiety you all are feeling, I have a young daughter myself. She wants to grow up to be a dentist, and I want to not only make sure she can go to college and pursue her dream but that their will be good jobs and economic security when she graduates. Jobs will come from a healthy modernized economy not one built behind barriers to growth or handouts to a privileged few through corporate welfare. In congress I have made my first priority the economic security for families, that is something I will continue as governor, building a 21st century economy where people can work hard not just to get by but to thrive and give their children a better life then they had.”

“A few weeks ago I was speaking with some of my fellow congress members from Florida. They told me of Dorothy Famiano and her kids Danielle and Nicholas. Nicholas was born with a condition called spina bifida and is confined to a wheelchair, Danielle has autism and cerebral palsy, and they were both in the foster care program. Dorothy looked at these kids and where others may have seen challenge raising children with special needs instead only saw love and adopted the pair. Today Danielle and Nicholas are thriving teenagers with lives more promising than anyone could have expected.”

“Dorothy deserves all the praise and credit in the world for her actions, but she had hardships raising these kids. The public school system didn’t work for them, there was no place to put them, placed in classrooms overfilled with students that had severe behavioral issues it was not a environment where they could learn or thrive. It wasn’t until Dorothy learned about the Gardiner Scholarship that things turned around. The scholarship was specifically for children with special needs, applying through the Step Up for Students program the Scholarship gave her the ability to homeschool her children, letting her teach her children at their own pace and meeting their needs, from there her kids blossomed and made great progress.”

“Dorothy said ‘They have gifts that aren’t necessarily discovered in a classroom setting. I saw that potential in them from the first time I met them. The success my children are enjoying is due to the fact the Gardiner Scholarship is geared towards each child’s strength. It’s the personalized learning experience that has made it so successful. A lot of people don’t understand this.’”

“Thousands of students in our state face the same challenges that Dorothy’s kids faced. Programs similar to the Gardiner Scholarship program could prove a turning point in the education and development for our children. We need Education Savings Accounts, programs where parents can provide children with the education that best suits them, tuition, special needs services, curriculum and more can be funded based on the individual needs of the kids. This is educational innovation, this is bringing closer to bringing education into the 21st century, people demand choice in every area of life, education should not be the exception.”

“Six States have already enacted ESA’s and families are extremely satisfied with the results, over a 90% satisfaction rate. Empowering parents is a necessity to improving education, and ESAs promise to improve the lives of student by letting parents choose what’s best for their child.”

“Pennsylvania was once the leader in education choice, in 2011 the tax credit cap for EITC scholarships here was $60 million, it served 38,000 students the most in the country, Florida served 29,000 students. Audits of the program have found it saves billions for taxpayers and provides better education for the students through school choice and empowering parents. Now Florida serves 107,000 students while Pennsylvania doesn’t serve half that many, and is forced to turn down thousands every year. The EITC should not be arbitrarily capped but should be based on demand. As governor I will pursue legislation to increase tax credits automatically if 90% of available credits were claimed in the previous year. I will not allow partisan political skirmishes disrupt valuable programs as we have seen too often in the past.”

“School Choice and Education Savings Accounts put choice back in the hands of parents, they provide an escape route from failing and violent schools, they save money and lead to smaller class sizes, they give lower income families the same options as upper income families, and they force schools to improve to attract students. Perhaps most importantly it rejects the notion of a “One-Size-Fits-All” education, it creates diverse schools that respond to the needs of the children instead of forcing children to respond to the needs of a rigid curriculum.”

“ For towns like this I wrote the Student Fiscal Literacy Act, supports schools that try and teach their students practical financial literacy, how to balance a checkbook, save for the future and make smart financial choices that let them pursue the American dream. Its for towns like this that I wrote legislation like the 21st Century Agriculture Act, which amends the tax code to reflect the modern realities of farming, lowering the cost of doing business and making things easier, a goal I will continue as your governor. ”

“For towns like this I authored the Save Local and Small Business Act, which rewrote regulations a rules governing businesses on main street, making it easier to do business, lowering taxes and increasing investment in the small businesses that need and deserve it the most. It reforms the worst parts of Dodd-Frank, that have so badly impacted small banks and businesses and made it easier for entrepreneurs to get loans.”

“For towns like this I wrote the Invent and Manufacture in America Act, which promotes and protects manufacturers in America, not just helping keep our job right here in Pennsylvania, but beginning the process of bringing them back home.”

“For kids like ours I wrote the Educational Facility Rehabilitation Act, a bill that will help ensure that kids don’t need to attend crumbling schools, schools without heat in the winter or air conditioning in the Summer, because schools should have to worry about teaching children, not whether the facilities are safe. For kids like ours I authored the Strengthening our Pediatric Workforce Act, which encourages doctors to enter into the field of children's health, a field that desperately needs more doctors.”

“As your governor my agenda will all works towards the prosperity of Pennsylvanians, not select corporations or special interests. I will push for policies that promote charter schools and quality education, doubling down on policies like your county has where residents may apply to attend cyber charter schools with no additional costs to parents. And when we send our children to college I will pursue a policy of openness and much needed transparency regarding tuition and what your children will get out of college.”

“We don’t do enough… not nearly enough to support our farmers. I’m not talking about subsidizing farmers more i’m talking about farming smarter. The truth is the average farmer receives little to no actual support with the vast majority going to corporate farmers and massive land holders. Our farmers facing burdensome regulations, negative stereotypes, children fleeing the family business. As governor I will reform how we approach farming, I’ll make sure aid goes to the people who actually need it not corporate mega-farms. We will foster an environment of community, accountability and stewardship, we are seeing our small rural communities falling apart, their vibrant spirit becoming ghost towns in the same way our proud industrial towns turn to rust.

Our government federal, state and local saddle our farmers with excess paperwork, regulations and an increasingly burdensome bureaucracy. Big corporate farms set high barriers that small farms cont overcome, thats not a free market. As Governor I will cut back on the red tape that hurts so many, you will not need an army of lawyers to contend with a mountain of paperwork and regulation. We will deregulate locally produced foods, and work to exempt local sales from government licensure, permitting, certification, inspection, packaging, and labeling requirements, and applies to farmers’ markets as well as on-site stores at farms.

“As it stands the democratic leadership in Harrisburg is a relic, large scale standardization, control, spending and bureaucracy, things do not reflect a highly diverse society, a highly diverse population and a highly diverse state, instead we have an lumbering ‘one size fits all’ government that doesnt fit with the 21st century. With all our advantages jobs are growing at less than 1% a year, Pennsylvania unemployment increases while the rest of the country decreases. Business and entrepreneurship has been stifled by over taxation and regulation, an unbroken 45 year streak of tax increases. We need new solutions, new innovation not more of the same.”

“The policies of Harrisburg have resulted in companies like GE sending jobs to Texas, our wealth and factories overseas leaving thousands of Pennsylvanians out of work. The negligence of those in Harrisburg have seen the jobs of skilled craftsman and tradespeople moved thousands of miles away, it has devastated our middle class, it has devastated our nation. Staying on this path and continuing these policies of relentless taxation, and allowing our communities to deteriorate will keep our factories closed, our inner cities poor, and special interests in control.”

“Jobs will come from a healthy modernized economy not one built behind barriers to growth or handouts to a privileged few through corporate welfare. In congress I have made my first priority the economic security for families, that is something I will continue as governor, building a 21st century economy where people can work hard not just to get by but to thrive and give their children a better life then they had.”

“Under the absent leadership of the democrats an average family of four in our state now owes nearly $20,000 to pay off the state pension fund alone. Many of our school districts, our urban areas spend over $300,000 per high school graduates, half aren’t proficient in basic algebra, they can’t read at a high school level. And for all the accolades the democrats have received for increasing education funding, less than 30% has actually gone to teaching.”

“This same leadership has led to the near collapse of our pension system in the state, the average family of four now owes $20,000 to pay off the state pension fund debt. 10 years ago democrats denied the existence of a pension crisis, 2 years ago Vilseck vetoed vital pension reforms, but because of the advocacy and had work of Pennsylvania citizens like you I have some good news... our Senate Majority Leader has introduced SB 1, and it is going to be a major turn around for our state. It moves us away from the unsustainable pension system to a system that provides choice for workers and stability for taxpayers. I have spoken with the leader at length about SB 1 and I am proud to fully endorse this legislation and I encourage all of you to contact your representatives and voice your support!”

“SB 1 is just one step in the right direction, we need to lower taxes of all forms, property, sales, income and whatever else overburden Pennsylvanians. Our budget deficit grows not because of a lack of revenue but because these high taxes, overregulation and a state government that continues to fund failing programs. As your governor I will institute an automatic sunset provision for under-performing programs and require the implementation of cost-reducing changes recommended by the IFO or Performance based Budget Board. We are going to introduce transparency measures and pass the taxpayer protection act to control spending and protect the hard earned money of families across the state.”

“We are going to become the most business friendly state in the nation, not through reckless corporate welfare that the current administration engages in but by actually creating a environment of growth, an environment where the American Dream can thrive. Our state has countless advantages, we have some of the largest, cheapest deposits of natural gas and coal in the world, we can utilize that to bring back the manufacturing jobs of years past we can become the global leader in manufacturing and energy exports once again. I refuse to accept Pennsylvania’s place at the bottom of the country for job growth and economic output, its time for that to end.”

“As your governor I will put an end to a lack of transparency in Harrisburg, the shadow budget, the lack of accountability. I am going to start a policy of job growth, education and fiscal responsibility. I will make blue collar communities like this one, ones that have been left behind by Winston and Harrisburg, my top priority unlike the democrats who have taken communities like yours for granted. How many years have democratic leaders made promises that never came to fruition? You all deserve economic strength and stability, accept nothing less.”

“Despite this lack of transparency, the state lawmakers are some of the best paid in the nation, the governor makes over $190,000 a year, the highest in the nation. I pledge to you today that as governor I will not take a dime of that salary until the salary is lowered! The lowest salary of a governor in the nation is $70,000, Maine, I call on the legislature to make it at least that low. All elected officials working for the state will have a pay freeze while I am governor until the budget is balanced.”

“I will do everything in my power to create an environment more friendly to business encouraging the growth of industries new and old. I am going to fight for the expansion of healthcare and higher education here in places like Erie, i’m going to fight for tax cuts for small businesses and across the board. As your governor I will be an advocate in Washington for the renegotiation of trade deals that are now outdated and costing jobs.”

“The policies of Harrisburg have resulted in plants like GE to send jobs and plants to Texas, our wealth and factories overseas leaving thousands of Pennsylvanians out of work. The negligence of those in Harrisburg have seen the jobs of skilled craftsman and tradespeople moved thousands of miles away, it has devastated our middle class, it has devastated our nation. Staying on this path and continuing these policies of relentless taxation, and allowing our communities to deteriorate will keep our factories closed, our inner cities poor, and special interests in control.”

“Ladies and gentlemen let’s have the economic resurgence of our state begin today. Lets send a message to Harrisburg a message that enough is enough and we need an economy that is growing not stagnant, it’s time to stop over-taxing, over-regulating, and crippling ourselves. It’s time to get Pennsylvania working again, I hope you join me, God bless America and God Bless the Great State of Pennsylvania, Thank You!.”

The Ending the Honoring of the Confederacy Act is a violation of the 10th amendment, as Congress has not been empowered to compel speech from the States, therefore Mississippi will not comply with it if it passes.

If Governor Williams flagrantly refuses to abide by the laws of the United States of America, then his state should be stripped of all federal funding, and he should be treated as a traitor to the Republic. It is time for this cowardly administration to reign it in.

If Governor Williams loves and follows the Constitution so much, why does he openly support commemorating the traitors who fought tooth-and-nail for independence from it?
