Precisely, Fred. Lawmakers look to the NCMS to provide the collective voice of the medical community. And the group chose not to advocate for physicians and patients when all of this mess was developing. In fact, it chose to advocate in the other direction. The organization is terribly conflicted with progressives and statists and socialists within its ranks; and having received lots of money from the corporate interests that think they benefit from this mess.

Fred, that is a very sad picture in that YouTube. It is the result of some very deliberately engineered social and political changes in this country over the last 75 years or so.

Fred, Derbyshire has been an insightful writer as long as I can remember seeing his stuff. And he was speaking mostly about native American citizens. But when you add to this population the approximate 44 million within the country who are foreign born-- a number that continues to expand-- we have a real problem on our hands.

Unfortunately, Fred, that describes much of the political environment, especially over the last ten years-- but as we are increasingly learning, well before that also.

Fred requests that I post the following: "The good news is that we are governed by a Republican G.A. ( No matter what their warts and shortcomings) In NY if your family income is $81,000 or more your children are not eligible for free state tuition whereas illegal aliens are ; plus all the other federal and state free stuff. The influx of illegals into the US is a burden on all taxpaying US Citizens in all states . This video explains it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zhkZZ9cTms Yes we are threatened by the socialist/communists but not so much here in North Carolina.. YET !! This is a reminder that Socialist countries never run out of zeros.

I hope he does, Fred. Truth be told, they ought to be REDUCING the welfare state, not increasing it.

I agree, Fred. Some have expressed concerns about using emergency powers, but I think those fears are overblown. The president has a clear constitutional responsibility to protect the nation against invasion.

Great idea, Fred. I had previously suggested here placing it in some kind of secure, tamper-proof transparent enclosure. But your idea is better.
