All people are born with the capacity to distinguish between right and wrong. This ability, called conscience, is a manifestation of the Light of Christ. A person’s conscience is a defense against situations that are spiritually harmful. Righteous decisions and obedience to the commandments bring peace of conscience. When we sin, we feel remorse or guilt, just as we feel physical pain when we are wounded. This is the natural response of our conscience to sin, and it can lead us to repent. Repentance and forgiveness renew our peace of conscience. If we ignore our conscience, on the other hand, and do not repent, our conscience will be impaired as if it has been “seared with a hot iron.”  However, the first fundamental criticism of the good conscience—the denunciation of the beautiful soul and of the ineffectual attitudes—we own to Hegel, for whom the ideology of the good, the true, and the beautiful is the religion of those possessed of none of them. While the mere existence of factions surprises Saint-Just and contravenes the ideal order that he affirms, Hegel not only is surprised, but even affirms that faction is the prelude to thought. For the Jacobin, everyone is virtuous. The movement which starts with Hegel, and which is triumphant today, presumes, on the contrary, that no one is virtuous, but that everyone will be. #RandolphHarris 1 of 29

At the beginning, everything, according to Saint-Just, is an idyl; according to Hegel, everything is a tragedy. However, in the end that amounts to the same thing. Those who destroy the idyl must be destroyed or destruction must be embarked on to create the idyl. Violence, in both cases, is the victor. The repudiation of the Terror, undertaken by Hegel, only leads to an extension of the Terror. That is not all. Apparently, the world today can no longer be anything other than a world of masters and slaves because contemporary ideologies, those that are changing the face of the earth, have learned from Hegel to conceive of history in terms of the dialectic of master and slave. If, on the first morning of the world, under the empty sky, there is only a master and a slave; even if there is only the bond of master and slave between a transcendent god and mankind, then there can be no other law in this world than the law of force. Only a god, or a principle above the master and the slave, could intervene and make men’s history something more than a mere chronicle of their victories and defeats. First Hegel and then the Hegelians have tried on the contrary, to destroy, more and more thoroughly, all idea of transcendence and any nostalgia for transcendence. Although there was infinitely more in Hegel than in the left-wing Hegelians who finally have triumphed over him, he nevertheless furnished, on the level of the dialectic of master and slave, the decisive justification of the spirit of power in the twenty-first century. #RandolphHarris 2 of 29

The conqueror is always right; that is one of the lessons which can be learned from the most important German philosophical system of the nineteenth century. Of course, there is to be found, in the prodigious Hegelian edifice, a means of partially contradicting those ideas. However, twenty-first century ideology is not connected with what is improperly called the idealism of the master of Jena. Hegel’s face, which reappears in Russian Communism, has been successively remolded by David Strauss, Bruno Bauer, Feuerbach, Marx, and the entire Hegelian left wing. We are only interested in him here because he alone has any real bearing on the history of our time. If Nietzsche and Hegel serve as alibis to the masters of Dachau and Karaganda, that does not condemn their entire philosophy. However, it does lead to the suspicion that one aspect of their thought, or of their logic, can lead to these appalling conclusions. Nietzschean nihilism is methodical. The Phenomenology of the Mind also has a didactic aspect. At the meeting-point of two centuries, it depicts, in its successive stages, the education of the mind as it pursues its way toward absolute truth. It is a metaphysical Emile. Each stage is an error and is, moreover, accompanied by historic sanctions which are almost always fatal, either to the mind or to the civilization in which it is reflected. Hegel proposes to demonstrate the necessity of these painful stages. #RandolphHarris 3 of 29

The Phenomenology is, in one aspect, a meditation on despair and death. The mission of despair is, simply, to be methodical in that it must be transfigured, at the end of history, into absolute satisfaction and absolute wisdom. The book has the defect, however, of only imagining highly intelligent pupils and it has been taken literally, while, literally, it only wanted to proclaim the spirit. It is the same with the celebrated analysis of mastery and slavery. The course of evolution has made the intellectual stride of man a necessity but it has not made such utter imbalance as prevails today a necessity. The intellectual wondering, seeking, and questioning which make a man study or aspire, follow, or join, often attain a degree of some ardour. However, this does not prevent the same man from changing his mood and mind in later years. We humans dominate the earth planet, not by our physical strength but by our mental power. Through the many changes of experience in the many lifetimes on earth—and later elsewhere—the mind grows. It wants to move upward from mere curiosity to actual knowledge. It inquires if there be any purpose in life to be fulfilled—if there be a purpose. If there is a God, it demands to know, yet doubts the possibility of finding a sure answer. #RandolphHarris 4 of 29

However, if this increased knowledge and sharpended brains predominate over mystical experience and religious intuition, then disequilibrium is created. Truth appears only to the perfectly balanced mind, but to the disequilibrated one it appears materialized, perverted, or falsified. The medieval period was impelled by theological sources, and the modern period by scientific ones. The benefit of university education has reached a much higher percentage of people and in a much larger number than during any earlier century. Has world-thinking progressed enough consciously, deliberately, and honestly to set up the search for truth? The answer is that individual world-thinkers have done so but taken as a group humanity has not done so. The intellect is in process of being developed and its limitation must be accepted as such. The time spent in deploring that fact is time wasted. For the important thing is not that it is not the highest faculty in man, which is admitted, but that its development does not really oppose itself to the highest spiritual development, which is not often admitted. Although a person may be consumed by thinking of and chasing after prestige, and although in his mind he rises and falls with his prestige, this often is not clearly seen as a neurotic problem to be analyzed—either because it is such a common occurrence, or because it looks like a cultural pattern, or because the analyst himself is not free from this disease. #RandolphHarris 5 of 29

A disease it is, and devastating one at that, because it makes people opportunistic and, in this way, mars their integrity. Far from being close to normal, it is on the contrary indicative of a severe disturbance. Indeed, it occurs only in those who are so profoundly alienated from themselves that even their pride is largely invested outside of themselves. Neurotic pride furthermore rests on the attributes which a person arrogates to himself in his imagination, on all those belonging to his idealized image. Here the peculiar nature of neurotic pride comes into clear relief. The neurotic is not proud of the human being he is. Knowing his wrong perspective on himself, we are not surprised that his pride blots out difficulties and limitations. However, it goes further than this. Mostly he is not even proud of his existing assets. He may be but hazily aware of them; he may deny them. However, even if he is cognizant of them, they carry no weight for him. For instance, if the analyst calls to his attention his great capacity for work or the tenacity, he has demonstrated in making his way in life, or points out that—his difficulties notwithstanding—he did write a good book, the patient may literally or figuratively shrug his shoulders and pass over the praise lightly, with noticeable indifference. He especially has no appreciation for all that is “merely” striving and not accomplishment. He rather discards, for instance, the honest striving to get to the roots of his trouble, which he has shown in making one serious attempt after another to take up analysis or to analyze himself. #RandolphHarris 6 of 29

Actualization involves honestly being your feelings in both receiving communications and in sending them. It involves some risks, or at least perceived risks, to those of us who habitually distrust our feelings and how others will react to them. The rewards of honest communication of feelings are immense. Others will sense your realness, your integrity and honesty, and will be more willing to reciprocate in kind. The frequency of misunderstanding each other will be less. The amount of mental and emotional energy you expend in relationships with others will also be lightened. That drained, tried feeling that comes from manipulation will dissipate. A solid principle of actualization is that a healthy relationship does not always have to be an agreeing relationship. Some of our most productive family, social, and work relationships exist because we accept the fact that different people have different points of view and feelings about things, and that we respect those differences. Often in life, we make the erroneous assumption that to have harmony, we must also have agreement. An actualizers is an appreciater of differences. An actualizers who honestly feels is particularly aware of the danger of pretense. The actualizer does not pretend to care when he or she does not, or pretends not to care when he or she does. The actualizer avoids such stock phrases as “I give up,” “You win,” and “I have had it.” Instead, the actualizer honestly expresses dislikes, wants, and hopes, believing that directness is the means whereby love is maintained and strengthened. #RandolphHarris 7 of 29

Honestly recognizing and living with your feelings crack the wall that manipulation has built between you and others. Although some social critics recognize that the search for happiness and personal fulfillment, for the pleasure of a life that has meaning, sooner or later leads to marriage, they contend that marriage will remain the fundamental building block of society, spontaneously chosen as a way of life by most men and women, but the martial commitment will not longer include sexual exclusivity. They argue that the concept of fidelity is outmoded and must yield to a flexible arrangement which permits both husband and wife to engage in extramarital pleasures of the flesh. More radical proposals call for this freedom to include not just the traditional heterosexual affair, but the full range of male-female combinations, including casual encounters, domestic trios, mate exchanges, group marriage, plus acceptance of bisexual relationships within these varying arrangements. This kind of conjecturing, which totally repudiates the establish principles of sexual commitment, owes less to disciplined observation of what most people require to live sexually effective lives than it owes to wishful fantasies about how they ought to live. #RandolphHarris 8 of 29

When such ideas are imaginatively conceived, as they were in novels like The Harrad Experiment and Stranger in a Strange Land, in addition to being enjoyable escapist reading, they may even succeed in shaking up a reader’s preconceived notions. Of course, they may also create apprehension in thoughtful readers who do not find the concepts abhorrent but do find them inconsistent with other cherished and reliable values. These writers, and numerous nonfiction authors as well, place the pleasures of pleasures of the flesh entirely in the service of self-gratification, with perhaps a moment’s polite attention to a partner’s request for release in one fashion or other. They reject the idea that pleasures of the flesh might have something to do with such considerations as privacy, discretion, or esthetic sensibility. And what they consider to be emancipation from Victorian prudery more closely resembles exhibitionism, on a level not much different from that of adolescents who enjoy “mooning”—dropping their pants and baring their buttocks to discomfort some unsuspecting stranger. Small wonder, then, that they consider the bond of a commitment involving pleasures of the flesh between a man and woman to be as antiquated as a chastity belt. In the 1970s, married couples were still depicted, in such television programs as Thriller (1973 British TV Show Season 1, Episode 1 “Lady Killer,” and Season 1 Episode 7, “A Place to Die”), to sleep in twin beds in the same room. Now, we have women mooning live audiences, on television, as they manipulate their buttocks to move like the waves of the ocean (also known as a “cheek tsunami”). #RandolphHarris 9 of 29

They are free, and should remain so, of course, to behave according to whatever standards they choose and to believe in whatever rationalization they may need to justify that behavior. The problem lies in the fact that when a few individuals with a professional background—including such sensitive fields as psychiatry, psychology, and the ministry—act out their erotic fantasies and write about their experiences, they are passing along advice which implicitly urges the reader to “go and do thou likewise.” This mounts to irresponsibility encouraging people to jump into a deep river with dangerous undercurrents, ignoring the fact that they may not know how to swim. And as an adult, this is often seen as “dangerous.” How can there by anything for anyone to be afraid of, either the one from whom love flows or the receivers? Spread it around like that, why should there be fear? Well, our moral collapse is appalling, but surprisingly, many attempt to justify it. Because of promiscuity, the dreaded social diseases have reached the epidemic stage. One health official said that they have surpassed epidemic proportions, and he called the condition a plague. So many were so concerned about COVID-19 and wearing a mask and getting vaccines, but these social diseases now affect more people than any communicable disease except the common cold. #RandolphHarris 10 of 29

In one of our best-known western city’s health officials report that on any given day, around one in five people have a sexually transmitted infection (STI), also known as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and venereal disease (VD). In 2024, there were more than 2.6 million STIs reported. Young adults from ages 20 to 34 have the highest rates of infection. However, a recent analysis found that patients over the age of 60 account for the biggest increase of in-office treatments for STIs. It is almost unbelievable. Experts claims that easy abortion has now removed the stigma from immorality, making free pleasures of the flesh even freer still. While millions accept promiscuity as a new way of life and excuse adultery even though it wrecks marriages and breaks up homes, at the same time, we make it illegal to offer a prayer in some of our public places. While we teach pleasures of the flesh in schools and publicly portray the vilest of filth on the movie screen, we virtually make a criminal of a schoolteacher who would bring a Christian Bible into the classroom or who might as the students to recite the Lord’s Prayer. So far have we lost our sense of values! Some Americans protest reference to the Almighty to the flag, while others would eliminate “God” from the Declaration of Independence. Are we caught in a tidal wave of atheism and its accompanying corruption? Are we any better than the civilization which preceded us here and which were swept away because of iniquity? #RandolphHarris 11 of 29

Those civilizations were taught a stern lesson pertaining to their occupancy of this hemisphere. They were told that this is a land of special significance to the Almighty and that only those nations which serve God remain here. If we ourselves are to survive, we of today must heed this warning. “And he had sworn in his wrath unto the brother of Jared, that whoso should possess this land of promise, from that time henceforth and forever, should serve him, the true and only God, or they should be swept off when the fulness of his wrath should come upon them,” reports Ether 2.8. We are bluntly told that whatever nations occupy this land must serve God or die! The great men of modern America have given us similar warnings, peculiarly enough. Roger Babson said: “Only religion can prevent democratic rule from developing into mob rule. A nasion can prosper only as its citizens are religious, intelligent, capable of service and eager to render it. Every great panic we have ever had has been foreshadowed by a general decline in observance of religious principles.” President Abraham Lincoln told the people of his day that America “need fear no danger from without…If danger were ever to threaten the United States of America, it would come from within. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power…But we have forgotten God. It behooves us then to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.” #RandolphHarris 12 of 29

God has revealed that in the last days, He would warn the people through the voice of tempests, earthquakes, and seas heaving themselves beyond their bounds. Do we hear His voice now and recognize it? The May 2025 Missouri Tornado caused $1 billion in property damage. As the devastation of Los Angeles wildfires have reached an estimated $300 billion in damages, with death and loss of habitat, do we hear in this the voice of God as a fair warning to the rest of us? “Therefore, repent ye, and humble yourselves before Him, lest He shall come out in justice against you,” reports Mormon 5.22-24. Religion is concerned with life itself, with ways to love that are the most viable. The question is, “What are the experiential and objective signs of being most fully alive?” How can persons tell when their actions, their lifestyles, their relationships with other people, their diets, are conducive to life itself, and when they diminish life? Sensitive somatic perception clearly is essential to discern when one’s way of life is enlivening. To experience one’s appetites keenly, to enjoy one’s senses, to feel emotion, to breathe deeply, to sleep well, to eliminate adequately—all these vital signs may show a person that his or her lifestyle is good. The experience of zest, vitality, and rich meaning in life are further manifestations of enlivenment. #RandolphHarris 13 of 29

There is still considerable debate as to whether winners are winners because they have winning scripts, or because they have permission to be autonomous. However, there is little doubt that losers are following the bad programing of their parents, the media, their friends, and the urgings of their own inner demons. Tragic scripts may be either noble or ignoble. The noble ones are a source of inspiration and of noble dramas. The ignorable ones repeat the same old scenes and the same old plots with the same drab cast, set in the dreary “catchment areas” which society conveniently supplies as depots where losers can collect their payoffs: saloons, pawnshops, brothels, courtrooms, prisons, state hospitals, and morgues. Because of the stereotyped outcomes, it is easy to see the scripty elements in such life courses. Thus, books on psychiatry and criminology which give numerous and extensive case histories are excellent sources for studying scripts. A bad script is laid on the child by the Fascist Sneer, and he clings to it on the principle of the Nostalgic Prisoner. The Fascist Sneer is as old as history, and works as follows. The people are told that the enemy king or leader is filthy, incoherent, debased, and brutish, more animal than human. When he is captured, he is put in a cage with a few rags, no toilet facilities, and no eating utensils. After a week or so, he is exhibited to the people, and sure enough, he is filthy, incoherent, debased, and brutish, and gets more and more so as time goes on. Then the conquerors smile and say: “I told you so.” #RandolphHarris 14 of 29

Children are essentially captives of their parents, and can be reduced to any state the parents’ desire. For example, a girl is told that she is a hysterical, self-pitying crybaby. The parents know her weak spot and can torment her in front of visitors until she finds it intolerable and is reduced to tears. Since this is labeled “self-pity,” she tries hard not to cry, and so when she does give way, it is like an explosion. Then the parents can say: “What a hysterical reaction! Every time we have visitors, she does that. What a crybaby,” et cetera. The key question of script analysis research is: “How would you raise a child so that when she grew up, she would react the way this patient does?” In answering this question, the script analyst more and more frequently can describe the patient’s upbrining accurately before he is told about it. Many people who have spent long years in prison find the outside world cold, difficult, and frightening, and commit an offense to be sent back to prison. It may be miserable, but it is familiar, they know the rules to keep out of serious trouble, and there are old friends there. In the same way, when a patient attempts to break out of his script cage, he finds it cold “out there,” and since he no longer plays the old games, he loses his old friends and must make new ones, which is often scary. Therefore, he slides back into his old ways, like a Nostalgic Prisoner. All this may make the script and its effects a little more understandable. #RandolphHarris 15 of 29

Throughout history, the threat of fire has served as an impetus for communities to establish building codes. Although the first building codes, which were developed in ancient Egypt, focused on preventing building collapse, building codes were quickly recognizes as an effective means of preventing, limiting, and containing fires. Colonial communities had few building codes. The first settlers had a difficult time erecting even primitive shelters, which often were constructed of wood with straw-thatched roofs. The fireplaces used for cooking and heating may have had chimneys constructed of smaller logs. The all-wood construction and use of open fires meant that fires were a constant threat to early settlers in America. As communities developed, they enacted codes restricting the hours during which open fires were permitted and the materials that could be used for roofs and chimneys. In 1678, Boston requires that “tyle” or slate be used for all roofs. After British forces burned Washington D.C., in 1814, (during the War of 1812), codes prohibited the building of wooden houses in the area. Some building codes required the construction of a fire-resistive wall, or firewall, of brick or mortar between two buildings. Today’s building codes not only govern construction materials but also frequently require built-in fire prevention and safety measures. #RandolphHarris 16 of 29

Fire fighter training and education have come a long way over the years. The first fighters simply needed sufficient muscular strength and endurance to pass buckets or operate a hand pumper. Today, fire fighters require formalized training, attentions to safety, and good judgment. Fire fighters operate costly high-tech equipment, including million-dollar apparatus, radios, thermal imaging devices (high-tech devices that use infrared technology to find object giving off a heat signature), and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) (air pack used by a fire fighter to enter a hazardous atmosphere). Ethos is defined as the disposition, character, or fundamental values peculiar to a specific person, people, culture, or movement. The Warrior Ethos, the professional attitudes and beliefs that characterize the award-winning Sacramento Fire Department, reflects our nation’s enduring values by the profession charged with protecting those values. The Warrior Ethos is the foundation for the Sacramento Fire Department’s total commitment to victory in peace and war. At the core of every firefighter, paramedic, EMT is the willingness and desire to serve the nation—both its people and its enduring values. Those with the Sacramento Fire Department who live the Warrior Ethos put the mission first, refuse to accept defeat, never quit, and never leave a fallen crew member. They have absolute faith in themselves and in their team because they have common beliefs and values. #RandolphHarris 17 of 29

The seven Sacramento Fire Department Values of Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage enable them to see what is right or wrong in any situation. When you encounter a situation that requires you to decide, you should apply the Sacramento Fire Department’s Values. If any one term in not applied, the decision will be flawed. As you see, the Sacramento Fire Department’s Values and the Warrior Ethos are integral parts of a unified system of beliefs—as with the firefighters, EMT, and paramedics who follow them, they depend on each other. The Sacramento Fire Department’s Creed ties this system together. “I love the job, I really love it. So does everybody in the service. In this day and age, you don’t get to do many things that help people out. It’s the most gratifying feeling that I know of. I believe it comes from my parents. My father has been helping people for a long time. He’s seventy-seven years old, and he still works six day a week. He’s still self-employed as a mechanic. He doesn’t need the money, he does it to do people favors. He keeps the shop open because he feels there’s a need for his services. It’s the motivation that keeps him going. I believe that I inherited that, to a certain degree, from him.” When we help bring the Lord’s healing blessings to those suffering from physical, mental, and spiritual sickness, we practice the healer’s art. #RandolphHarris 18 of 29

If you see a fire truck stopped in the street without the lights on, be very careful. Sometimes there is an emergency situation and you should not pass the fire truck. It might be a good idea to safely turn around and go another way. Sometimes fire fighters are getting back into their vehicle and if you pass the apparatus, you may collide with a firefighter who is on foot. Also, be sure to look at their signals, sometimes emergency vehicles are in motions, albeit, slowly, and drivers try to pass them, and this could lead to a dangerous situation. Also, if you are in an intersection when you see an emergency vehicle, continue through the intersection. Drive to the right as soon as it is safe and stop. Obey any direction, order, or signal given by a law enforcement officer, or a firefighter. Even if they conflict with existing signs, signals, or laws, follow their orders. When their siren or flashing lights are on, it is against the law to follow within 300 feet of any fire engine, law enforcement vehicle, ambulance, or other emergency vehicle. If you drive to the scene of a fire, collision, or other disaster, you can be arrested. When you do this, you are getting in the way of firefighters, ambulance crews, or other rescue and emergency personnel. The concept of professional courage does not always mean being as tough as nails, either. It also suggests a willingness to listen to other peoples’ problems, to go to bat for them in a tough situation and it means knowing just how far they can go. It also means being willing to tell the boss when he or she is wrong. #RandolphHarris 19 of 29

California is the third most expensive state in the nation. A single person making an income above $100,000 is now consider low-income in five counties in California. This distinction now applies to individuals living in Santa Cruze, Santa Clara, San Mateo, San Francisco, and Marin counties. In 37 percent of counties, a family of four living on a six-figure income is now considered low-income.  In fact, Governor Gavin Newsom of Democratic controlled California, brags about being the world’s “fifth largest economy,” but it also facing a $12 billion deficit, looking to cut $747 million for state worker’s pay, pushing to keep medical insurance for illegal immigrants, and has the largest homeless population in the nation. If they are all officially counted, California has approximately 4 million homeless people. The highest home prices in the nation, the highest taxes and the most unfriendly business regulations known to man. The average home price in California is nearly $1,000,000.00 USD, while the average salary is $96,036.00, meaning that most Californians cannot even afford to buy a home. California is having an affordability crisis. In 2025, many people in California saw their bills increase by an estimated $500 a month. This includes things like food, automobile insurance, homeowner’s insurance, electricity. In fact, more than 3 million people in California are facing household hardship, and more than 300,000 of them are facing eviction soon. This comes at a time when California is having a shortage of affordable housing. This is caused by nearly half a century’s old laws that discourage homes sales and encourage higher rents. Meanwhile, China, where we are sending all of our jobs and money has more than 50 ghost cities. Ghost cities are regions will housing has been overdeveloped to the point that these places are uninhabited. Because California is so hostile towards people and businesses, more than 360 companies have fled the state since 2020. Businesses like Chevron, SpaceX, Oracle, and Hewlett Packard are amongst the names on that list. #RandolphHarris 20 of 29

Also, more than 500,000 people a year are abandoning California because it is too expensive to live in, Gavin Newsom has criminalized homelessness and actually started arresting people without homes, crime is out of control, and they are losing their jobs due to companies relocating. More than 100 companies have announced layoffs in California for 2025. Intel is cutting 15,000 jobs, PayPal 2,500 and Meta has terminated 4,000 employees. The California crisis created by Democrats is driving up home prices and mortgages and rents all over the nation and the world, making living unaffordable for all, and advocates say the crisis is far from over. Accordingly, California has more than 3.5 million illegal immigrants. Having the Southern American boarder open and not having American farmland protected, not producing beef, poultry, fish, fruit, produce and dairy in America, and without American goods and services being our number one manufactured and selling items, America has created a dangerous and significantly elevated risks to national security, national economic security, and national public health. Some people may believe that these claims are overstated, but by not routinely monitoring Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CEVs) or other security relevant alerts, such as end-of-life of machinery is how the Oroville Dam Crisis occurred in 2017. Other crises that have occurred due to neglect of critical infrastructure is the 2025 Palisades fires because Southern California ran out of water, when they are located next to an ocean and they could have simply created desalinating plants to help with the water shortage. The water is so plentiful that it is currently eroding land and causing homes to fall into the sea. #RandolphHarris 21 of 29

The American government should know all exploitable vulnerabilities and fix them prior to the situation becoming a crisis. Failure to take such mitigating actions is dangerous and significantly elevates risk to national security, national economic security, and national public health and safety. The American government must understand that significant time and resources must be invested in America. They must also encourage corporations to plan for both mitigating safety vulnerabilities in the short term and eliminating them in the long term. For instance, a company might begin by reaching out to the federal, state or local government and requesting tax incentives to provide security to dangerous communities, to help the government repair bridges and potholes. America needs an approach to eliminate safety vulnerabilities in American cities. There needs to be a road map by the end of 2025, outlining a prioritized approach to eliminate crisis situations in America. There is enough money to send aid to foreign nations, but the American government does not have enough money to care their infrastructure, provide adequate resources, nor end the affordable housing crisis. Nor is there enough money to fund other national critical functions (NCFs). These bad practices of putting America and Americans last is considered exceptionally risky, particularly to national security, national economic security, and national public health and safety. In 2024, Americans spent $100 billion on Japanese cars. #RandolphHarris 22 of 29

Additionally, with inflation rates at an all-time high, American being in an unofficial recession for about a decade, all insurance in California is becoming unaffordable. State Farm has received an approval for an emergency rate increase, which was approved by the California Insurance Commissioner, to stabilize the market and protect policyholders. Starting 1 June 2025, homeowners will see an average of 17 percent increase, rental dwellings will see an increase of 38 percent, and Condo owners will see a rate increase of 15 percents. These rate increases are due to the distressed caused by the recent wildfires, which accumulated over $7 billion in claims. Furthermore, in 2022, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 1107, also known as the Protection California Drivers Act, into law which increases the minimum auto lability limits for bodily injury to $30,000 per person and $60,000 per accident. Senate Bill 1107 also increased the minimum liability limits for property damage to $15,000 per accident and the DMV deposit for uninsured drivers to $75,000. The bill went into effect on January 1, 2025. This means that drivers with existing policies with lower limits will renew at the new minimum limits on or after January 1, 2025, and insurance premiums could increase by as much as 54 percent. America is in a state of crisis right now because of mismanagement by democrats. With the median household income in Sacramento County being $88,724 and a 4-bedroom 2.5-bathroom Cresleigh home costing $798,059, how are people able to afford homes? Because an $800,000 home with a one percent downpayment of $8,000, 30-year fixed loan at 4.176 percent interest comes with a monthly mortgage payment of $4,241. #RandolphHarris 24 of 29

The maximum percentage of your gross income that you should earmark for a monthly mortgage payment is calculated at 28 percent, and no more than 36 percent of your gross income to all debts, including mortgage. If you take 28 percent of the median household income per home in Sacramento County, homeowners can only afford a mortgage of $2,070.23 per month. And if you take 36 percent of their gross income to all debts, including mortgage, they should be devoting no more than $2,661.72 a month to these debts. Mortgage lenders must be using some kind of sorcery to get buyers into these expensive homes. To afford one of these homes using traditional guidelines, a household would need to gross $11,280.24 per month or $135,362.88 per year, but the median household in Sacramento County is grossing $7,393.67 or $88,724.00 and that typically means two to four people in the home are working and contributing to the mortgage. Prices in Sacramento County are actually rivaling the Bay Area, and the Bay Aera is so expensive because they have more higher paying jobs and is a tourist destination. And with the State of California being in a budget deficit of $12 billion, Governor Gavin Newsom Granted 700,000 illegal immigrants free health care at a cost to taxpayers of $3 billion annually, while cutting vital programs for veterans, school children, the disabled and the homeless, and is proposing to fast-track his plan to build a $20 billion water tunnel beneath the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta by eliminating environmental reviews and limit avenues for legal challenges. Gavin Newsom only cares about the environment when his policies allow him to raise taxes and restrict freedoms. #RandolphHarris 25 of 29

In fact, Mexico has been causing one of America’s worst environmental disasters. Fifty million gallon a day of industrial chemicals, untreated sewage, and trash flow from Tijuana, Mexico, into southern San Diego County daily. This toxic waste has been turning up on Imperial Beach, and is causing the miles of white sands to become polluted and the ocean breeze to smell of poop, which has been sickening residents and wildlife and costing San Diego millions in the form of lost tourism and health problems. The problem has been going on for more than a century. However, it has become a public health crisis as the population of Tijuana has drastically increased, in recent years, and the waste treatment plants have no longer usable. The beach has been closed for more than three years, and evidence suggests that even breathing the air may be harmful, as toxic particles in the water can become airborne. Yet, even though Gavin Newsom has been governor for six years, he has not rushed into action to stop this very preventable environmental disaster. Why? Because he is not getting kickbacks from China and Mexico, not being gifted mansions and cars, and he cannot tax the struggling California taxpayers to clean up this mess. Simply, it is not profitable for him. Gavin Newsom has been a total tyrant with no regard for taxpayers and does not have a mind for business and should be impeached as soon as possible. He has criminalized poverty, increased taxes and insurance rates so high that people are struggling to survive and has given billions of taxpayer dollars away to illegal immigrants and protected them from law enforcement, while arresting law abiding Americans because they cannot afford to pay rent or mortgage and the homeless shelters are unsafe, overcrowded  and have restrictions on who is allowed inside. Wars have been started over governments who tax citizens without representation. Taxation without representation is what led to the American Revolution. If Gavin Newsom is not stopped, next he will euthanize the poor and sterilize the disabled. This monster is unfit to be governor and must never be allowed to be President of America! Stop Gavin Newsom now! Save California and impeach this unreasonable man. #RandolphHarris 26 of 29

Meanwhile, with President Trump, we are seeing crime rates sharply decrease, and he recently secured $10 trillion in investments. If elected president for an unprecedented third term, to make housing more affordable and to offset the cost of homeowner’s insurance and auto insurance, President Trump plans to abolish property taxes. Much like the land crisis in Las Vegas, we could also run out of land to farm and will not be able to grow or cultivate our own food. We can protect American farmland and support American farmers by buying American made beef, poultry, dairy, and produce. Also, country of origin labeling is very important so Americans can know where their food is coming from and have the ability to support American farmers and ranchers. As money flows, it influences further investment. Save the land that sustains us by protecting American farmland. Once the land is built on, we lose it forever.  And in the future, there may be food wars. Also, to ensure that we have farmland and buildable land for future use, we need to start limiting the number of people allowed to immigrant to America. Perhaps with the immigrants we do allow into America, there needs to be a diversity program to make sure we have a population that equally represents all races of people. If Americans continue to spend money on American products, then more need to be made to keep up the inventory. When investors notice these goods are selling, it gives them the confidence to pour more money into that local business. It shows that people want these goods made in America and pressures investors to keep these goods and services in America. The jobs stay here, the business stays in American, wages naturally increase, and more money is invested to keep up with demand. This reduces the burden on the taxpayer. When you support American businesses, that money stays in our economy and can help to reduce the national debt. The government creates debt by borrowing from businesses in the private sector or from foreign countries. It also increases the national debt by spending more than it gains in tax revenue in a fiscal year. #RandolphHarris 26 of 29

When people shop locally, more tax money stays in the economy and goes to the government. This way, it keeps more money in our national economy and keeps more jobs located in American which also sends more taxes to the government, which can again help to reduce the national debt.When you buy foreign goods, these companies usually have lighter tax loads or exemptions, meaning less money for the nation debt, plus you are helping to strengthen these foreign nations by send more money overseas. Buying American made products is also better for the environment and helps to reduce the carbon footprint because these products do not have to travel nearly as far. Furthermore, American companies and manufacturers are held to much higher standards in regard to pollution. American companies have to be more careful about air, land, and water pollution and have proper ways to dispose of waste. Moreover, please remember to respect law and order and treat your elders with the utmost dignity and kindness possible. And take your education seriously so that you will be successful in life and make your family proud. It is inborn in the human minds to wish to know. If this begins with the endless surface questions of a child’s curiosity, if it continues into deeper questions of a scientist’s probing investigation, it cannot and does not stop there. For the higher part of the mind will eventually come into unfoldment, that union of abstract reflective thought with mystical intuition, which is true intelligence, which needs and sees a view of the whole of things. And so, the knowing faculty enters the realm of philosophy. #RandolphHarris 28 of 29

As you can see, President Donald Trump and his pledge to “Make America Great Again,” is exactly what America needs to save the country and the American people. And yes, diversity is important, so you can see why it is also important to preserve blonde hair and blue eyes as the people with these characteristics are becoming a minority in America. We must think before we can understand the soul’s existence; we must understand before we can realize it. The earliest beginnings of thought, as apart from instinct, when it was itself still but a lurking tendency, belong far back in primeval time. The human intellect as we find it today, so rich and developed an instrument for the consciousness of the ego, did not arrived at this fulness without a series of graduated stages. We have had plenty of scientific thinking, business thinking, and political thinking long enough, but we have had very little inspired thinking. That is the world’s need. The intellect is cradled in selfishness but runs the evolutionary track into reason where it will one day finish at the winning-post of selflessness. As a reminder, parents, pleasure teach your children love America and be patriotic citizens and to buy goods and services made in America. It is also important to respect law and order and treat your elders with respect. “Oh, thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand between their loved home and the war’s desolation! Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n-rescued land Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, and this be our motto: ‘In God is our trust.’ And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.” #RandolphHarris 29 of 29

Cresleigh Homes

The average income in Sacramento, California in 1990 was approximately $28,000 annually (2025 inflation adjusted $70,000). A large two-story home with an expansive backyard cost $169,000 (2025 inflation adjusted $417,000) back then. Houses became more affordable in 1996-1999 due to a recession. You may have noticed the prices decreased by an average of $20,000 (2025 inflation adjusted $40,154).

People forget that since 1990, wages have also gradually increased, and most households have two working adults. Sometimes both adults have college degrees, which makes homes more affordable, but even in some cases, one adult with a college degree and a minimum wage employee can qualify to buy a home.

The average home price in Sacramento in 1990 was $195,000 (2025 inflation adjusted $480,000). So, the recession of the late 1990s helped a lot of people who would not normally qualify for a house become homeowners.

The up to $40,000 Cresleigh Homes is offering as an incentive can work the same way and help you to qualify for a home you did not know you could afford. Do not be afraid of the sticker price, please speak to a representative today! https://cresleigh.com/contact-us/
