DLH in our latest executive conference call, he on an annual inspection tour of our Southern bureaus, asked if I had tuned in to President Trump’s Miami speech focused on Venezuela. I had not but fortunately Gary Bauer excerpted it yesterday and is set forth below. It was another excellent speech from the President.
Speaking in Miami, Florida, yesterday, President Trump delivered a blistering speech against the tyrannical regime in Venezuela. Trump called on military leaders there to side with the Venezuelan people and President Juan Guaido and to reject Cuban puppet Nicolas Maduro.
Trump also denounced socialism in Venezuela as well as those demanding socialism in the United States. Here are some excerpts of his remarks.
“Not long ago, Venezuela was the wealthiest nation, by far, in South America. But years of socialist rule have brought this once-thriving nation to the brink of ruin. . .
“In other words, the socialists have done in Venezuela all of the same things that socialists, communists, totalitarians have done everywhere that they’ve had a chance to rule. The results have been catastrophic.
“Almost 90 percent of Venezuelans now live in poverty. . . Crippling shortages of food and medicine plague the country. Socialism has so completely ravaged this great country that even the world’s largest reserves of oil are no longer enough to keep the lights on. . .
“The twilight hour of socialism has arrived in our hemisphere and, frankly, in many, many places around the world. The days of socialism and communism are numbered not only in Venezuela, but in Nicaragua and in Cuba as well.
“Socialism promises prosperity, but it delivers poverty. Socialism promises unity, but it delivers hatred and it delivers division. Socialism promises a better future, but it always returns to the darkest chapters of the past. . .
“Socialism is a sad and discredited ideology rooted in the total ignorance of history and human nature, which is why socialism, eventually, must always give rise to tyranny, which it does. Socialists profess a love of diversity, but they always insist on absolute conformity. . .
“And to those who would try to impose socialism on the United States, we again deliver a very simple message: America will never be a socialist country. We are born free and we will stay free, now and forever.”
Now riffing off of more of Bauer ‘s work where he wrote about law suits by Blue states being filed to stop Trump’s executive orders on border enforcement. Now the usual suspects were all a twitter when Arizona, an individual state tried to enforce its border in the face of the Obama administrations failure to do so. Democrats sued to stop Arizona and the SCOTUS ruled that border enforcement was exclusively a federal responsibility. So now the same ilk are saying Trump can’t enforce the border using established federal laws.
As Bauer wrote: Now that we finally have an administration willing to enforce our immigration laws, left-wing states are suing to ensure that the borders remain open.
