Is civilization approaching crisis mode?

Seeing Red AZ has occasionally shared a particularly enlightening column we’ve encountered with our readers — posting it under the headline, “Weekend Reading Guaranteed to Make you Smarter.”  Today we upgrade our previous description as we bring you the genius of favored columnist, Victor Davis Hanson, and his most recent commentary titled, “The Thinnest Veneer of Civilization.” Appearing on Townhall, it embodies sheer brilliance. Reading it is sure to raise knowledge levels and possibly our IQs. 

Alien Invasion: A shocking documentary on Biden’s border crisis

Sec. of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas bent on reconfiguring America

Officially Congressman Andy Biggs represents the people of Arizona’s Fifth Congressional District. But in fact, he represents us all…and how fortunate we are to have this knowledgeable man serving in Washington, D.C. alongside, and partnering with, our state’s GOP U.S. Reps. Paul Gosar, DDS (CD-4), David Schweikert (CD- 6), and Debbie Lesko (CD-8).

U.S. Rep. Biggs — co-chair of the Congressional Border Security Caucus — recently premiered a new border documentary titled, “Alien Invasion,” at The Heritage Foundation. The documentary addresses how Joe Biden’s border crisis began, its consequences, and solutions to address the crisis. SRAZ has included it here for our valued readers.

Biggs introduced H.R.8951 the Ending Catch and Release Act of 2022. This legislation amends the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) to prohibit the Biden Administration from continuing to release illegal aliens into the United States. The Washington Times headlined its coverage, “Biggs renews calls to impeach Mayorkas in new documentary targeting Biden’s border policies.”

Watch Biggs’ newly released, fact-filled documentary. We are presenting it on Saturday when time is not as constricted as on a weekday. This information is crucial.

Alejandro Mayorkas’ 56 – 43 senate confirmation as Secretary of Homeland Security was, with few exceptions, a party line vote. Arizona’s two democrat senators, putting party above their own border state’s security, both supported him.

Remembering dems’ unified priority: “Defunding the Police”

Those representing high crime areas want less money allocated to law enforcement

Dimocrats have the answer to ensuring public safety

Here’s something Joe Biden doesn’t want you to see.

“Defund, dismantle police, redirect the funds, reimagine public safety,” are the descriptive terms employed by the left.

‘Law Enforcement Today’ headlines its report, “Defund the police to make people safer, they said: Data shows huge increases in crime in 2022.”

Pres. Trump: Mar-a-Lago home raided by FBI & UPDATE

 Big victories for Trump endorsed Primary Election candidates set stage for obscene Biden authorized FBI raid

This afternoon, we take our readers directly to The Post Millennial which appeared to be the initial news source covering what the 45^th president, Donald Trump, has described as, “These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents.” He added, “Nothing like this has ever happened to a President of the United States before.”

Trump also compared the FBI search to “an assault that could only take place in broken, Third-World Countries” and also “to the Watergate scandal.”

This is a must-read article, horrific in the selective unannounced, politically motivated raid of the private home of the former president viewed by democrat operatives within the current administration as having too much influence with primary voters across the USA.

To no one’s surprise, Justice Department spokesperson Dena Iverson declined to comment on the search, including about whether U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland had personally authorized the outrageous raid.

When the odor is pungent, Garland never passes the smell test.

UPDATE:

On cue, in Tuesday’s edition the biased, Trump-despising, Hillary-endorsing, radically left-wing, local newspaper headlines, “Trump: FBI searched estate,” as if the extraordinary incursion into his home was a figment of President Trump’s imagination.  Included in the banner headlined article were these gems: “The search, which the FBI and Justice Department did not immediately confirm, marks a dramatic escalation in law enforcement scrutiny of Trump and comes amid a separate but intensifying probe into efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Trump and his allies immediately sought to cast the search as part of a Democratic effort to keep him from winning another term in 2024, even though the Biden White House said it had no prior knowledge of it.”

Believe this preposterous claim and we’ve got a cut-rate bridge in the Sonoran desert to sell you.

AZ newspaper foolishly hammers use of inmate labor

A felony is committed. With diligent police work, the perpetrator is located and arrested. Next, evidence is presented as the defendant is tried, found guilty and sentenced to prison time.  It‘s an unfortunate scenario, repeated with increasing regularity across the United States, as leftist elected DA’s have implemented catch and release policies, if they impose any penalties at all. Law Enforcement Today acknowledges the steep rise in crime in 2022 as police departments are defunded.

Arizona’s dying leftist newspaper has printed a weeklong series of articles bemoaning the fact that incarcerated prisoners are being “exploited” as outside laborers. Presumably the lunatics/editors running the asylum/newspaper would prefer the inmates stay in their cells around the clock. The reports focus on the inmates doing manual labor rather than office work and instead of building their resumes, as they provide labor to cities and towns, which the four reporters who collaborated on a recent report, view as allowing towns to “live beyond their means” since the criminals are paid low wages. Taxpayers provide inmates lodging, food, clothing, soap, shampoo, toothpaste and the system the newspaper berates allows them to be out of the prison complex, where juries sent them for crimes they inflicted on innocent citizens. A stand-alone blurb states, “Using cheap prison labor keep maintenance costs low in this Cochise County city of 3,213. But what about the inmates’ needs?”

Seriously!

The inmates lost their right to freedom when they chose to engage in lives of crime. The likelihood of these criminals desiring to stay in their cells is remote. Reporters Joseph Darius Jaafari, Jimmy Jenkins, Justin Price and Geoff Hing earn their salaries writing drivel. 

But it doesn’t stop there. The newspaper is actually recruiting people who have been incarcerated to relate their “experiences and opinions” for future exposés. SRAZ has chosen to omit the absurd link. Instead we direct our readers to the far more reputable New York Post‘s report by Isabel Vincent, “How George Soros funded progressive ‘legal arsonist’ DAs behind US crime surge.“ It reveals the funding the multi-billionaire socialist has been infusing into undermining prosecutor’s and law enforcement agencies throughout the nation for years. We urge you to read it. Knowledge is power.

Fmr. McCain aide Max Fose likens leftist Sen. Mark Kelly to McCain

Finally…the left got something right

Seeing Red AZ has never attempted to conceal its abhorrence of former Sen. John McCain, whose political duplicity was renowned. His last official vote — which Speaker Mitch McConnell held up to allow the then-ailing McCain to cast the deciding vote — was a stunning case in point, as McCain voted with the united democrats — much to the mystified dismay of his GOP colleagues — on what was known as the “skinny repeal” of Obamacare. Watch the 19-second video here:

https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2017/07/28/19-seconds-mccain-vote-nr.cnn

Attempting to explain his political treachery in heading up Republicans for Kelly, supporting the deceptive Mark Kelly, McCain-connected Max Fose answered the question with a now trendy, tricky response that attempts to make the questioned person agree, by ending the question with “right?” “You don’t see Mark Kelly throwing bombs across the aisle, right?”

Wrong.

Soros-funded Kelly is duplicity run amok. His strong financial ties to Communist Chinese tech giant Tencent are a driving force of the commercial space exploration venture he co-founded. Tencent, is one of the world’s largest internet enterprises and owns the Chinese social media platform WeChat. The text platform has more than a billion users and is suspected of monitoring the activity of many of them inside and outside of China, as detailed in this 2020 Real Clear Politics report. The Washington Free Beacon exposes Kelly’s early and lucrative ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

Married to former AZ congresswoman Gabby Giffords, who is Jewish,  Mark Kelly gleefully poses with anti-Semite U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN). Omar has stated her belief that America should be dismantled, opining it is “based in a system of oppression.” She believes Israel has no right to exist.

Mark Kelly should not represent Arizona in the U.S. Senate. Seeing Red AZ endorses Jim Lamon, a successful businessman and job creator, who prioritizes addressing the border crisis. Jim Lamon’s list of conservative elected officials, activists and law enforcement endorsements is impressive. These are the boots-on-the-ground men and women who understand the need for retaking control of our border that has been a haven for illegals and criminal activity. Kelly, an anti-Second Amendment gun confiscator, is unfazed by the widespread criminality.

The Washington Times reported DHS encountered a record 2 million illegal aliens on our southern border in 2021 alone.

Rasmussen: Staggering majority of Americans disapprove of Biden

VP Kamala Harris ditches border to concentrate on cyber bullying

Rasmussen rated high for factual reporting, reveals only 23 percent of likely U.S. voters believe the country is heading in the right direction. This number remained unchanged from the previous week, with Biden showing no improvement, as dissatisfaction with his abysmal programs, inability to rein in backbreaking inflation and lack of leadership grows. Fifty-seven percent (57%) of respondents disapprove of Joe Biden.

Real Clear Politics, a polling aggregator has even more dismal news for Biden. On the Economy, 61.5 % disapprove of the job he’s doing. On the Direction of the County, Biden rates even worse, with 68.6% stating he’s on the wrong track.

And appalling VP Kamala Harris?  Feeble Biden named her the border czar putting her in charge of the crisis at our southern border. But the invasion of our county is of no interest to her. Instead, this past week she launched a Cyber Bullying Board, stating, “This affects all of us if it affects any one of us.” She could have used those same words to describe the invasion of our nation.

Breitbart News headlined its fact-filled report, Analysis: 1.1 Million More Illegal Aliens in U.S. Since Biden Took Office.”  We urge our readers to take time to acquaint themselves with the facts that are of no interest to either Biden or Harris, but will irretrievably alter the nation we are leaving to our future generations.

San Francisco DA dumped, blames everything but his lax policies

Intolerably rising crime rates proved to be his undoing

San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin, whose lenient policies led to his defeat in a recall election, claimed he was taken out by voters due economic hardship brought on by the pandemic — slickly glossing over the realities of the city’s staggering crime rate.  He also blamed conservatives. Leftist NBC called this disconnected prosecutor a “reformist.”

“People are angry, they’re frustrated, and I want to be very clear about what happened, he said as the votes came in. The right-wing billionaires outspent us three to one, they exploited an environment in which people are appropriately upset, and they created an electoral dynamic where we were literally shadowboxing,” Boudin whined. “Voters were not given an opportunity to choose between criminal justice reform and something else. They were given an opportunity to voice their frustrations and their outrage and they took that opportunity.”

Using the royal “we,” to obscure his responsibility, Boudin said of his tenure in office, “We’ve made mistakes,” without specifying what those mistakes are. The California Globe was far more forthright, describing how criminals have become more brazen under his ‘decarceration’ policies. Be sure to read the complete report.

Boudin must vacate office no later than 10 days after Tuesday’s election is certified. At that point, a successor chosen by democrat Mayor London Breed will assume office. Play that out to its likely conclusion. Under her administration thieves who steal less than $950 worth of merchandise are no longer jailed.

Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon should be feeling the heat, since his policies mirror Boudin’s. Crime is on the rise as felonies go unpunished under the guise of “criminal justice reform.” Arizonan’s are well acquainted with Gascon’s radical policies when he was when he was Mesa‘s Police Chief.

And Chesa Boudin? His background is steeped in radicalism. His parents were members of the Weather Underground terrorist group. When they were incarcerated, with long prison terms, young Boudin was raised by their cohorts.

The Heritage Foundation recently ran this exposé, “Rogue Prosecutors Gascon and Boudin Panicking Over Recall Elections.”

Illegal invaders bolstered by media advocates

How do editors justify the placement of news items?

The question begging an answer looms large as the radical leftist Arizona Republic chose to hide an article about the illegal invasion bearing this headline, “Migrant caravan sets out in Southern Mexico, headed to US,” on page six.  It’s four sentences in length, buried between equally brief news reports of a tropical storm in Bermuda and an item about a South African pastor found guilty of treason.

The invasion of the United States is real and worthy of front page coverage, but the unprincipled, Trump-despising, Hillary-supporting local newspaper supports illegals breaching our southern border. It championed the Biden administration tearing down the wall being constructed to protect our sovereign nation from those who continually exploit us on every level.

The brief report datelined Tapachula, Mexico, states:

“Several thousand migrants set out walking Monday in southern Mexico, tired of waiting to normalize their status in a region with little work and still far from their ultimate goal of reaching the United States.

Their advocates said they wanted to call attention to their plight, timing it with this week’s Summit of the America’s in Los Angeles. According to a Reuter’s report, it was estimated to include “at least 6,000 migrants,” mostly from Central America, Venezuela and Haiti. It is the largest migrant caravan to attempt to leave southern Mexico this year.”

The Arizona Republic underestimated the numbers as “between 4,000 to 5,000,” which is still indefensible.

Yes, America’s illegal alien invaders have “advocates,” as they access our generous benefits, while bringing deadly pills laced with Fentanyl, destined for American streets.

And with the promotion of illegal alien Elvia Diaz as editorial page editor, whose expanded duties include “editing The Republic’s Viewpoints section, opinion columnists and guest writers, setting the board’s agenda and working with the executive editor and the board, shaping The Republic’s institutional voice,” the newspaper full tilts towards Mexico.

This morning’s edition is proof positive, as Diaz heaps accolades on Mexico’s president for “snubbing” the Summit of the Americas hosted by Joe Biden in Los Angeles. Under normal circumstances, she’d be aligned with Biden, but when forced to choose, Mexico’s Lopez Obrador wins out.
