The Kokomo Tribune published a column on August 13 by Dr. Richard Feldman to which I must respond. Up front, I must say I am delighted Dr. Feldman is not my family physician and is no longer Indiana’s state health commissioner. He is a family physician in Indianapolis and is not a scientist.
His column is a hit piece on HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. The problem is what Feldman writes contains much dis-information particularly about COVID and mRNA vaccines. Feldman needs to do serious research about how COVID mRNA vaccines have destroyed too many lives and are not effective as advertised. I refer readers to Dr. Steven Hatfill and a host of highly credentialed doctors and scientists that totally disagree with Feldman’s conclusions. I refer you, too, to the book, “Three Seconds Until Midnight” by Dr. Hatfill, Dr. Coullahan, and Dr. Walsh.
I point out that I hold a Ph.D. in genetics from Purdue. I was highly skeptical of mRNA vaccines from the very beginning. I hope that any who contemplate getting a COVID “vaccine” or booster will do their own reading and research before making any decision.
Indiana All GOP
In the August 8th issue of the Kokomo Tribune, Ken de la Bastide wrote against Congressional redistricting in Indiana. Don’t be so sure.
Republicans currently hold seven of Indiana’s nine congressional seats. Redistricting could be done easily by the Indiana General Assembly Republican super majority if it wanted to do so. No Democrat votes would be needed for support and Democrats could not block such a move. Our state is already in tight control by Republicans. The only two Democrat congressional seats presently from Indiana are one in the Gary/Hammond area and one in Indianapolis. Both of Indiana’s Senators in the US Congress are Republican as well.
So, what is the issue? It is not within our state. Indiana is a solid RED state. The issue is power in the U.S. House of Representatives. There is a mid-term election coming in 2026. The current Republican control of the House is slim. It would not take many switches from Republican to Democrat representatives to give control of the House of Representatives to Democrats. In my opinion, this cannot be allowed to happen. That would be a disaster for the Trump administration and for the country.
The point nationwide is to do what can be done to increase Republican control of the House of Representatives. Republicans need to pick up seats wherever possible. Look at what is happening in Texas, for example. There may be a five seat pick up for the GOP from Texas through redistricting. That is a ten-seat swing. If the two Democrat seats currently held by Democrats from Indiana became Republican, that is another two seats or a four seat swing. There are other potential gains in other states. And Democrats are examining the possibility of adding to their side in states that could redistrict in their favor.
So, the fight is on. Timid behavior cannot be tolerated. Indiana should redistrict if, and only if, the two Democrat seats can be flipped without jeopardizing any currently held GOP seats. This requires very careful decisions. Mistakes cannot be tolerated.
If Indiana would be totally Republican in the United State Congress, we would have done our part in keeping the country on course.
The Way is OUT!
Mass deportation of illegal aliens is underway. President Trump has seen to that. Thousands of new ICE agents are being hired to help with the roundup, detention, and ultimate return to home countries the 10-20 million people or maybe even more in the United States illegally.
Indiana Governor Mike Braun and the Indiana General Assembly have directed all Indiana law enforcement agencies and the Indiana National Guard to assist ICE (US Immigration & Customs Enforcement Agency) in all ways possible. Any persons arrested for law breaking for any reason and determined to be an illegal alien will be turned over to ICE.
The effort to remove illegal aliens (aka “undocumented immigrants”, “newcomers”, etc) from the United States was mandated by the citizens of the United States with the election of Donald J. Trump as President.
Indiana is helping with the management and removal of illegal aliens with the establishment of detention facilities at the Miami Co. Correction Facility, a medium security prison (“Speedway Slammer”), and at Camp Atterbury near Indianapolis. Each location is planned to be able to house up to about 1,000 detainees prior to their deportation to home countries.
Of course, the actions of ICE and of Indiana are being vocally criticized by left leaning, whining bleeding hearts as being inhumane. They simply do not know the difference between being a legal immigrant and an illegal one. Coming into the United States outside of a legal pathway makes one an “illegal” alien and one guilty of a US crime. Such persons do not have and should not have “rights” compared to a U.S. citizen. So, round them up, detain them, and out they go.
Really, no one really knows how many illegal aliens reside in Indiana. But for one community, there are strong clues. Logansport reported a couple of years ago there was a 30% increase in population in a two recent year period. Logansport is not known for being in a stage of significant economic growth and has not been. But, two meat processing plants are close by: Tyson and Indiana Packing Co.. Magnets for illegal alien employment? You decide. Logansport reported increased hospital loads and even cases of tuberculosis showing up. They, also, reported the possible establishment of night classes in high school for non-English speakers.
Logansport is not unique. Other communities have what appear to be increased numbers of illegal alien presence. One simply needs to see what is happening at schools, hospitals, and in the use of social services and benefits. The current 10-20 million illegal aliens are burdens to United States society, not assets. Even when productively employed —which is illegal for a non-citizen to be without proper immigration status or an Employment Authorization Document — aliens send part of earnings back to others in home countries typically via Western Union rather than spend those earnings in the United States to support domestic businesses.
So, it is time to return the United States to citizens. It is time for illegal aliens to either self-deport with the opportunity to return legally or to be rounded up, detained, and deported. No questions.
