{{Homosexuality}}
'''Same-sex "marriage"''' (also called '''sodomite "marriage"''', '''homosexual "marriage"''' or '''"gay marriage"''') is a [[liberal]] attempt to advance the [[homosexual agenda]] and wreak havoc on the world by forcing the public to pay benefits for relationships that are not procreative and typically are not even monogamous. This is not only contrary to thousands of years of success based on a one-man/one-woman marriage system and in direct violation of the [[Bible]]<ref>It's a direct challenge to and nullification of Genesis 2:24, ''Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife''; of coarse, not every child has a mother and father anyway, so God must be unfair as well, the atheist theorizes.</ref> and most other religious teachings,<ref>"Same-sex marriage uses force of secular law to justify what the scripture of ''most modern religions'' has clearly labeled a sin: i.e., [[homosexual]] relations. At least one nation that has adopted same-sex "marriage" now requires the largest Christian church there to perform them also, despite its clear contradiction with the [[Bible]]</ref> but also antisocietal as can be shown by scientific device of [[Gedankenexperiment#Marriage vs. Homosexual Life-style|thought experiment]] used for investigation of nature of things. [[Ted Haggard]] has been a victim of same-sex indoctrination.

On June 26, 2015, the United States Supreme Court, in a 5-4 ruling in the case of ''[[Obergefell v. Hodges]]'', illegally claimed that same-sex "marriage" was "legal" in all 50 states, despite not having the power or authority to make such a ruling. As a result, local, state and federal laws (as well as state constitutional provisions) that distinguish between heterosexual marriage and same-sex "marriage" are claimed by same-sex "marriage" supporters to be "unconstitutional" under the Fourteenth Amendment, even though, in fact, no such "right" to same-sex "marriage" exists in the Fourteenth Amendment or anywhere else in the Constitution. Contrary to [[Liberal deceit|the claims]] of many liberals, the decision advanced [[big government]] by making the definition of marriage a federal and constitutional issue, in addition to a government issue.

Same-sex "marriage" is legal in twenty-two countries: the [[Netherlands]], [[Belgium]], [[Brazil]], [[Spain]], [[Canada]], [[South Africa]], [[Norway]], [[Sweden]], [[Portugal]], [[Iceland]], [[Argentina]], [[Denmark]], [[Uruguay]], [[Finland]], [[Luxembourg]], [[Ireland]], [[New Zealand]],<ref>http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10878200</ref> [[France]], the [[United States]], [[Germany]]<ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-41460032</ref> and the [[United Kingdom]] (excluding Northern Ireland) Additionally, in [[Mexico]], same-sex "marriage" is legal in the states of [[Quintana Roo]], [[Chihuahua]], [[Guerrero]] and [[Coahuila]], as well as in [[Mexico City]], a federal district similar to Washington, D.C. Other countries, such as [[Colombia]] and [[Chile]], recognize [[civil unions]] and [[domestic partnership]]s.<ref>[http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2004-03/05/content_311998.htm Countries worldwide address gay marriage]</ref><ref>[http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-08-05/tasmania-to-back-gay-marriage-intensifying-pressure-on-gillard]</ref>

In [[Norway]] and [[Sweden]], the adoption of same-sex "marriage" has led to a loss in respect for the marriage institution itself even for traditional couples. In [[Massachusetts]], the legalization of same-sex "marriage" led to a decline in property values.<ref>Florida, Richard, and Charlotta Mellander. "Journal of Economic Geography." There Goes the Metro: How and Why Bohemians, Artists and Gays Affect Regional Housing Values. Oxford University Press, 8 July 2009. Web. 30 June 2015. <http://joeg.oxfordjournals.org/content/10/2/167>.</ref> Also in response to the introduction of same-sex "marriage" the State Department of Public Health changed marriage certificates to read "Party A" and "Party B" instead of husband and wife.

In May 2012, voters in [[North Carolina]] banned both same-sex "marriage" and homosexual unions. North Carolina thereby became the 29th state to pass an [[amendment]] against same-sex "marriage", by a huge 61-39% margin.<ref>https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/north-carolina-voters-ban-gay-marriage-civil-unions/story?id=16307081#.T6nLvOjlvKY</ref> [[Barack Obama]]—heavily dependent on donations from homosexuals for his reelection—rushed to prop up the homosexual agenda by endorsing same-sex "marriage" after its stunning defeat in this [[swing state]].

Some studies and polls about same-sex "marriage" conducted in a few countries generally claim support for same-sex "marriage" increases with higher levels of education, and that younger people are more likely to support the legalization of it than older generations due to propaganda campaigns targeting the younger generation.<ref>{{cite web|title=Survey - Generations at Odds: The Millennial Generation and the Future of Gay and Lesbian Rights|url=http://publicreligion.org/research/2011/08/generations-at-odds/|publisher=[[Public Religion Research Institute]]|accessdate=25 September 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Pew Forum: Part 2: Gay Marriage|url=http://www.pewforum.org/PublicationPage.aspx?id=647|publisher=[[Pew Research Center]]|accessdate=25 September 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Poirier|first=Justine|title=Same-Sex Marriage: Let's Make a Change|url=http://www.montrealites.ca/justice/same-sex-marriage-lets-make-a-change.html|publisher=Montréalités Justice|accessdate=25 September 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Data Points: Support for Legal Same-Sex Marriage|url=http://chronicle.com/article/Chart-Support-for-Legal/64683/|accessdate=25 September 2012|newspaper=The Chronicle of Higher Education|date=16 March 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Support for Same‐Sex Marriage in Latin America|url=http://www.vanderbilt.edu/lapop/insights/I0844.enrevised.pdf|publisher=[[Vanderbilt University]]|accessdate=25 September 2012}}</ref> Polls show the most religious people regardless of age are more likely to oppose it.<ref>{{cite news|last=Waldman|first=Steven|title=A Common Missed Conception|url=http://www.slate.com/articles/life/faithbased/2003/11/a_common_missed_conception.html|accessdate=25 September 2012|newspaper=[[Slate (magazine)]]|date=19 November 2003}}</ref> Prior to 2012, in each U.S. state to hold a voter referendum on the issue, the public rejected same-sex marriage laws by a small majority.<ref>{{cite news|title=Maine voters reject gay-marriage law|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/feedarticle/8789627|accessdate=20 September 2012|newspaper=Associated Press via [[The Guardian]]|date=4 November 2009}}</ref> However, In 2012, [[Maine]], [[Washington]] and [[Maryland]] voted in favor of same-sex marriage.

Campaigns advocating same-sex "marriage" were at the forefront of the [[Homosexual rights advocacy|homosexual rights movement]]'s attempt to elevate [[homosexuality]] to the same moral plane as [[heterosexuality]], overturning centuries of established tradition whereby homosexuals would keep their (according to many Christians) sinful acts hidden. Some opponents of same-sex "marriage" claim its purpose is to destroy the [[family]] as an institution, merely to secure a legal basis for [[sexual freedom]]. According to some opponents of same-sex "marriage", the primary purpose of marriage is to bring joy to society as much as to safeguard the development of happy families, and it is not for individual glory. They believe that unrelated people living together make each other miserable and harm society. Among the many reasons homosexuals might advocate same-sex "marriage" are the ability to make emergent healthcare decisions for a loved one in the absence of a durable power of attorney or living will, the alteration of the laws of intestate succession to include homosexual partners, and the same tax treatment as heterosexual married couples.

Current [[United States]] [[law]] defines "marriage" as "one man, one woman" for purposes of the federal [[Defense of Marriage Act]], which prohibits the federal government from recognizing same-sex relationships as marriages for any purpose, even if permitted under state law, and permits a state to disregard a same-sex "marriage" entered into in another state. However, due to the liberal [[Supreme Court]] overturning section 3 of DOMA as "unconstitutional", the federal government currently recognizes homosexual "marriages" as equal to the traditional, correct marriage. An interesting consequence of the federal definition of "marriage" is that it specifically rules out [[polygamy]]. 

== Background ==
Public opinion about same-sex "marriage" has shifted rapidly. In the United States, the period between 2012 and 2015 marked a rapid shift in the public debate on this issue. While religious teachers continue to discuss this important topic, the matter has not received much public discussion since 2015. Indeed, in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, it was not a major issue raised by the candidates. Of the responses in a May 2016 Gallop Poll, 61% favored same-sex "marriage" and 37% opposed it.<ref>https://www.gallup.com/poll/117328/Marriage.aspx Retrieved March 3, 2017</ref> Responses in a 2016 Pew Forum poll found that only 27% of white evangelical Protestants and 39% of black Protestants favor same-sex "marriage" while it is supported by a majority of other religious groups and 80% of the nonaffiliated category.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pewforum.org/2016/05/12/changing-attitudes-on-gay-marriage/|date=May 12, 2016|title=Changing Attitudes on Gay Marriage|accessdate=March 7, 2017}}</ref>

In the United States, marriage is primarily governed by each individual state and marriage laws differ from state to state. Several states allow [[civil union]]s between two people of the same sex, and 37, [[Massachusetts]], [[Connecticut]], [[Vermont]], [[New Hampshire]], [[New York]], [[Maryland]], [[Maine]], [[Washington]], [[Rhode Island]], [[Iowa]], [[California]], [[Delaware]], [[Minnesota]], [[New Jersey]], [[Hawaii]], [[Illinois]], [[Oregon]], [[Idaho]], [[Nevada]], [[Utah]], [[Wyoming]], [[Montana]], [[Colorado]], [[Arizona]], [[Kansas]], [[Oklahoma]], [[Florida]], [[North Carolina]], [[South Carolina]], [[Virginia]], [[West Virginia]], [[Alaska]] and [[New Mexico]], plus the [[Washington, D.C.|District of Columbia]], currently issue same-sex "marriage" licenses, although most of these states were illegally forced to do so by activist federal courts acting outside of their mandate. Only in [[Maine]], [[Maryland]], and [[Washington]] has same-sex "marriage" been approved by popular vote. [[Minnesota]] was the first state, in 2012, in which voters voted against a state constitutional amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman. Same-sex "marriages" were legal in [[Alabama]] for one month in 2015 following a federal court decision, but were halted by the Alabama Supreme Court pending the June 2015 ruling of the United State Supreme Court on the matter. Same-sex "marriages" are recognized by the federal government since the overturning of section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act, however, recognition varies between departments of the federal government, with some departments referring to the legality or non-legality of the "marriage" in which the "couple" resides, and others referring to the legality or non-legality of the "marriage" according to where the "marriage" took place.

In 1996 Congress recognized the likelihood that [[liberal]] activists would soon seek changes to the laws in some states that pertain to homosexuals. It considered the possibility of test cases reaching the Supreme Court, and of the court conceivably ruling that a state—even though it prohibits same-sex "marriage" itself—must honor same-sex "marriages" performed in another state pursuant to the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the United States Constitution. The Defense of Marriage Act, which was passed and signed by President Clinton, prevents this possibility, and also prevents the Federal Government from recognizing marriage as anything other than a union between a man and a woman. Its Constitutionality has not yet been tested under the Full Faith and Credit Clause, the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, or the Due Process Clause of the 5th Amendment.

In 1999 a Vermont court ruled that under its constitution, it was not required to allow same-sex "marriage" but was required to make provisions to grant same-sex couples legal rights identical to those provided by marriage. Vermont responded by creating "civil unions," which are legally distinct from marriages but convey the same rights. In 2009, the Vermont legislature overrode the governor's veto to pass a bill allowing same-sex "marriage".

In 2003 the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled that under Massachusetts' constitution, same-sex couples could not be denied Massachusetts marriage licenses, making Massachusetts the first state to issue same-sex "marriage" licenses. As of April 2009, same-sex "marriage" was legal in four states, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, and Iowa.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/08/us/08vermont.html?_r=1&hp ''Vermont Legislature Makes Same-Sex Marriage Legal'']</ref><ref>[http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081010/ap_on_re_us/connecticut_same_sex_marriage Conn. high court rules gay couples can marry]</ref>

Beginning in 2008, the states of Washington, and [[Oregon]] also provide for same-sex unions. Washington later legalized same-sex "marriage". [[Hawaii]] provides certain benefits to same sex couples.<ref>[http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/connecticut/ny-bc-ct--civilunions-optio0531may31,0,341613.story?coll=ny-region-apconnecticut Newsday]</ref> The State of New Hampshire issued civil unions until the summer of 2009, when it passed a bill approving same-sex "marriage" <ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/04/us/04marriage.html "New Hampshire Legalizes Same-Sex Marriage"]</ref> The state began issuing same-sex "marriage" licenses in January, 2010.

In the fall of 2009, a same-sex "marriage" bill was introduced to the [[Washington, D.C.]] city council by At-Large Council Member David Catania (who is openly homosexual). After two days of testimony involving nearly 250 witnesses,<ref>[https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/local/D_C_-Council-hears-from-both-sides-in-gay-marriage-debate-8442433-66188647.html ''D.C. Council hears from both sides in gay marriage debate'']</ref> the council voted to approve the bill, 11-2. Once signed by the Mayor, the bill went to Congress for a mandatory [[DC Home Rule|30-day review period]]. While opponents of the bill vowed to fight it in Congress<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/15/AR2009121500945.html "DC Council Approves Same-Sex Marriage"]</ref> it passed and became law in 2010.

Five years after ''Hernandez v. Robles'', a New York Court of Appeals case in which the court declined to legalize same-sex "marriage" in New York via judicial fiat, the New York legislature voted for same-sex "marriage" on June 24, 2011.<ref>https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/breaking-gay-marriage-passes-in-new-york</ref>

Same-sex "marriages" were legal for a brief period in the state of [[California]], but the people of that state voted to repeal the law in the fall of 2008,<ref>[http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122586056759900673.html "California Votes for Prop 8"]</ref> through a ballot initiative known as [[Proposition 8]]. The legislature of Maine approved a same-sex "marriage" bill in May 2009 <ref>[https://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/05/06/maine.same.sex.marriage/index.html "Lawmakers approve same-sex marriage in N.H., Maine"]</ref> but opponents lobbied to have the bill put up to a popular vote, and it was defeated by the voters in the fall of 2009.<ref>[https://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/11/04/maine.same.sex/index.html "Maine rejects same-sex marriage law"]</ref> Same-sex "marriage" eventually became legal again in California in 2013 after the United States Supreme Court declined to rule on the case after deciding that those defending it did not have standing to do so, after the gubernatorial administration of California and the attorney general of California had refused to defend the law.

In Israel, all marriages must be performed by a religious organization - there is no "civil" marriage. Specific religions may determine the definition of marriages that they perform, and none currently recognize same-sex couples. However, a Supreme Court decision determined that Israel must recognize all marriages performed outside the country, same-sex or opposite-sex. In September 2011, an Orthodox Jewish rabbi in Israel attempted to marry homosexual males to homosexual females so they could start a conventional family. However, the plan drew criticism both from liberals, who said the plan was meant to discourage homosexuality, and from conservatives, who argued the plan promoted loveless relationships.<ref>"Israeli rabbi pairs gays to lesbians" http://news.yahoo.com/israeli-rabbi-pairs-gays-lesbians-061904417.html</ref>

In the Netherlands overseas territories of [[Aruba]], [[Curacao]], and [[Sint Maarten]], same-sex "marriages" are not performed, but all marriages performed in the mainland portion of the country (including same-sex) are recognized. In [[Brazil]], same-sex civil unions can be converted to marriages by state judges on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, the state of [[Rhode Island]] recognizes, but does not perform, same-sex "marriages." Furthermore, [[California]] recognizes all same-sex "marriages" performed in or out of state before the passage of [[Proposition 8]].

Some opponents of same-sex "marriage" believe that the religious ceremony of marriage is governed by each denomination and is unaffected by laws passed by civil authority. Same-sex "marriage" is forbidden in Orthodox Judaism, Catholicism, and most mainstream Protestant denominations. In Conservative Judaism (no relation to the political philosophy known as "conservatism"), synagogues and rabbis are allowed, but not required, to recognize and perform same-sex "marriages". Reform Judaism also allows rabbis to use "good faith" on this issue, but as the least-religious branch of Judaism, they take this stance on most issues. Additionally, homosexuality (and by extension same-sex "marriage") is forbidden in [[Islam]].

Many [[libertarian]]s argue [[marriage privatization|eliminating any legal definition of "marriage"]] and simply granting legal benefits to all couples under a neutral name would solve this problem and satisfy both sides. This is called "marriage privatization". Many religious conservatives still feel this is unacceptable - see that article for more details.

Public attitudes toward same-sex "marriage" parallels attitudes toward homosexuality.

==Morality==
Social [[conservatives]] regard same-sex "marriage" as immoral, and argue that use of the word "[[marriage]]" is a misnomer, because the [[Form of Solemnization of Matrimony|marriage services]] of Christian denominations define marriage as the union of a man and a woman. Some social liberals try to use this debate as an excuse to take the socially-conservative view of marriage out of the law. In some Christian marriage ceremonies, the wedding will begin with a statement along the lines of: "Dearly beloved: We have come together in the presence of God to witness and bless the joining together of this man and this woman in Holy Matrimony,"<ref>''The Book of Common Prayer,'' Episcopal Church, The Church Hymnal Corporation and the Seabury Press, 1979: "The Celebration and Blessing of a Marriage," p. 423</ref> a definition which was also written into United States federal law in 1996.<ref>[http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode01/usc_sec_01_00000007----000-.html US Code - Title 1, section 7]</ref>

Dr. [[James Dobson]]'s [[Focus on the Family]] organization prefers the phrase ''same-sex "marriage"'' (which is also the phrasing preferred by Conservapedia), with quotation marks around the word "marriage," to call attention to his belief that marriage—civil as well as religious—is intrinsically a union between a man and a woman, and that that same-sex unions are counterfeits.<ref>[http://www.family.org/socialissues/A000000464.cfm Same-Sex 'Marriage' and Civil Unions], ''Focus on the Family's'' website</ref>

Use of the term "same-sex 'marriage'" was unheard of a few decades ago; however, these unions are now among a number of issues advocated by [[liberal]] activists. They argue that heterosexual people are allowed to marry and so the homosexual population should be given that right too.

Some advocates of same-sex "marriage" view marriage as a purely civil matter, which in the history of the United States is a position taken particularly strongly by Puritan colonists, who viewed the interjection of religion into the franchise of marriage as scandalous to Christ's Church.

== Motivation for advocating it==
[[Image:Cycle.gif|thumbnail|200px|right|A recent study by the [[Canada|Canadian]] government states that "violence was twice as common among homosexual couples compared with [[heterosexual]] couples".<ref>http://www.statcan.ca/english/research/85-570-XIE/2006001/findings/risk.htm Aforementioned Canadian Study.</ref>]]
[[James Dobson]] cites Stanley Kurtz to argue that the motivation of those advocating same-sex "marriage" is not to secure the benefits of marriage for homosexual couples, but to destroy the institution of marriage itself:
:...most gays and lesbians do not want to marry each other. That would entangle them in all sorts of legal constraints. Who needs a lifetime commitment to one person? The intention here is to destroy marriage altogether. With marriage as we know it gone, everyone would enjoy all the legal benefits of marriage (custody rights, tax-free inheritance, joint ownership of property, health care and spousal citizenship, etc.,) without limiting the number of partners or their gender. Nor would "couples" be bound to each other in the eyes of the law. This is clearly where the movement is headed.<ref>Stanley Kurtz, "Beyond Marriage," The Weekly Standard, August 4/August 11, 2003. - cited in [http://www.focusonthefamily.com/docstudy/newsletters/A000000771.cfm Marriage on the Ropes], Dr. James Dobson, retrieved from ''Focus on the Family'', 15 May 2007.</ref>

Homosexuals are beginning to admit they want what Mollenkott proposes, namely the destruction of the concept of [[monogamy]] and [[traditional marriage]] altogether. What they really are after is a society that recognizes every sexual arrangement as normal - even [[group sex]]ual liaisons and [[polygamy]].<ref name=pjones>
Peter Jones, ''The God of Sex: How Spirituality Defines Your Sexuality'', page 22</ref>

In reality nobody is trying to stop homosexuals from [[Sexual intercourse|doing what they want to do]], or tell them they can't live together, or have a domestic partnership. The only reason many people oppose same-sex "marriage" is to prevent the definition of "marriage", more of a religious institution than a legal one, from changing, and to avoid being forced to have to recognize a union between two persons of the same gender as if it were equivalent to a marriage between a man and a woman.

==Child-rearing and adoption==
According to a March, 2007 report, there are 65,000 adopted children in the U.S. being raised by same-sex couples. The same report says 14,100 foster children were being raised by one or more homosexual or lesbian foster parents.<ref>[https://www.cnn.com/2007/US/06/25/gay.adoption/index.html Gay adoption: A new take on the American family]</ref>

In Great Britain, the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) has expressed its full support to the stand taken by the Catholic Church opposing regulations on homosexual adoption. The Catholic Church sought to be exempt from the new law. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams of the Church of England, supports the Catholic Church's efforts declaring that the rights of conscience cannot be subject to laws. Catholic leaders have already said that its teachings prevent its agencies placing children with homosexuals and they will have to close if bound by the rules. The MCB, the UK's leading Muslim umbrella group embracing over 400 affiliated organizations, said that while it supported anti-discrimination laws, homosexuality is forbidden in Islam.<ref>[http://www2.irna.com/en/news/view/menu-234/0701266670200554.htm UK Muslim group backs Christian opposition to gay adoption rules London], Islamic republic News Agency, Jan 26, 2007.</ref>

Several states, including [[New York]], allow any two adults living together to adopt a child regardless of marital status or sex. This law provided a method for same-sex couples to adopt children even before New York legalized same-sex "marriage".

==Homosexual promiscuity==
''See also:'' [[Homosexuality and promiscuity]]

Studies indicate that homosexual couples have higher rates of promiscuity than heterosexual couples.<ref>[http://www.frc.org/get.cfm?i=IS04C02 Comparing the Lifestyles of Homosexual Couples to Married Couples]</ref> Allowing homosexuals to "marry" would make them seek more partners.<ref>2004 General Social Survey, Statistics Canada, Canada's National Statistical Agency, July 7, 2005</ref>

==Homosexual violence and abuse==
In addition, studies report that [[Homosexual Couples and Domestic Violence|homosexual couples have significantly higher incidences of violent behavior]]. These studies are not surprising given what pathologists have stated regarding the commonness and brutality of homosexual murders{{fact}} (see [[Homosexuality and Murders]]). The prevalence of violence and emotional abuse in same-sex domestic partnerships. One survey found 53% of homosexuals felt if the high incidence of violence against partners in homosexual relationships was known and understood by the heterosexual population, it would hinder the drive for homosexual rights.

Domestic abuse is divided into two categories, emotional abuse and physical abuse. While homosexual domestic abuse has not been studied to the extent that heterosexual relationships have, [[Homosexual Couples and Domestic Violence|preliminary studies indicate a much higher level of abuse]].

==Family breakdown ==
Bishop Harry Jackson has shown how same-sex "marriage" is causally linked to the breakdown of the family in recent decades, particularly the black family.<ref>[https://townhall.com/columnists/harryrjacksonjr/2008/10/13/the_naacp_abandons_the_black_family The NAACP Abandons the Black Family]</ref> As noted in the 1965 [[Daniel Patrick Moynihan|Moynihan]] Report,<ref>[http://www.dol.gov/oasam/programs/history/webid-meynihan.htm The Negro Family: The Case for National Action]</ref> the breakdown of the African-American family is a national concern. He has attributed support for same-sex "marriage" in the District of Columbia and Maryland to a demonic force called the [[Queen of Heaven]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=GMnaW-0rQ-U Harry Jackson, Cindy Jacobs Rally Against Same-Sex Marriage]</ref>

Subsequent to same-sex "marriage" becoming law in [[Massachusetts]], property values declined and many left the State, in contrast to those states that do not recognize it.{{citation needed}}

One study published in liberal magazine ''Time'', however, claims that the children of same-sex couples or homosexual parents have equal or higher scores in psychological evaluations as well as cognitive. Researchers Nanette Gartrell, a professor of psychiatry at the University of California at San Francisco, and Henry Bos, a behavioral scientist at the University of Amsterdam, led a study focused on planned lesbian families in which a lesbian couple had chosen to adopt children or undergo artificial insemination to start a family. The study claims that these children were shown to have higher self esteems and confidence which in turn enabled them to have higher test results academically than their straight-parent counterparts.<ref>[http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1994480,00.html],Study: Children of Lesbians May Do Better Than Their Peers</ref>

Same sex union stability has been studied in Norway and Sweden using registered partnerships.
Although in these countries patterns in divorce risks are rather similar in same-sex and opposite-sex marriages, marriages and that unions of lesbians are considerably less stable, or more dynamic, than unions of homosexual men. Divorce risk for female partnerships is practically double that for male partnerships. The authors argued a higher propensity for divorce in same-sex couples is perhaps not surprising given this group's lower exposure to normative pressure to maintain lifelong unions.

==Social dysfunction==
Legalization of same-sex "marriage" is correlated with social dysfunctions<ref>[http://www.allaboutlove.org/same-sex-marriage-countries.htm Same Sex Marriage Countries]</ref> that states and countries banning it have avoided. States and countries legalizing same-sex "marriage" have markedly different levels of quality of life from those that have banned it. For example, 8 of the 10 states with the highest median income have legalized same-sex "marriage" (Maryland, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Hawaii, Delaware, and California).

==Collapse of civilizations==
Some ancient civilizations that recognized same-sex "marriage" collapsed, while some that refused to recognize it escaped that fate.<ref>[http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Slippery-Slope-Of-Same-Sex-Marriage&id=824855 The Slippery Slope of Same Sex Marriage]</ref> However, [[Correlation is not causation]], and there is not even a large enough data set to get a correlation.

==Legal disadvantages for heterosexuals==
Legalization of same-sex "marriage" would confer [[special rights]] on homosexuals, thereby placing heterosexuals at a legal disadvantage.<ref>[http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2009/December/New-Jersey-Lawmakers-Drop-Same-Sex-Marriage-Bill/ New Jersey Lawmakers Drop Same-Sex Marriage Bill], from [[CBN]]</ref>

The fact that the strongest predictor of support for same-sex "marriage" is level of education<ref>[http://www.gainesville.com/article/20090902/ARTICLES/909021016?p=1&tc=pg UF study: Education best predicted support for gay marriage ban]</ref> shows that [[brainwashing]] into [[professor values]] has a corrosive effect on morality.

According to Bill Borst, a regular substitute radio host for conservative [[Phyllis Schlafly]] on WSIV, rights are a [[zero-sum game]].<ref>[http://bbprof.wordpress.com/2010/11/18/the-new-three-rs/ The New Three R's], by Bill Borst</ref> If this is true, granting same-sex couples the right to "marry" will necessarily come at the expense of the rights of others.

{{Homosexuality}}
'''Same-sex "marriage"''' (also called '''sodomite "marriage"''', '''homosexual "marriage"''' or '''"gay marriage"''') is a [[liberal]] attempt to advance the [[homosexual agenda]] and wreak havoc on the world by forcing the public to pay benefits for relationships that are not procreative and typically are not even monogamous. This is not only contrary to thousands of years of success based on a one-man/one-woman marriage system and in direct violation of the [[Bible]]<ref>It's a direct challenge to and nullification of Genesis 2:24, ''Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife''; of coarse, not every child has a mother and father anyway, so God must be unfair as well, the atheist theorizes.</ref> and most other religious teachings,<ref>"Same-sex marriage uses force of secular law to justify what the scripture of ''most modern religions'' has clearly labeled a sin: i.e., [[homosexual]] relations. At least one nation that has adopted same-sex "marriage" now requires the largest Christian church there to perform them also, despite its clear contradiction with the [[Bible]]</ref> but also antisocietal as can be shown by scientific device of [[Gedankenexperiment#Marriage vs. Homosexual Life-style|thought experiment]] used for investigation of nature of things.

On June 26, 2015, the United States Supreme Court, in a 5-4 ruling in the case of ''[[Obergefell v. Hodges]]'', illegally claimed that same-sex "marriage" was "legal" in all 50 states, despite not having the power or authority to make such a ruling. As a result, local, state and federal laws (as well as state constitutional provisions) that distinguish between heterosexual marriage and same-sex "marriage" are claimed by same-sex "marriage" supporters to be "unconstitutional" under the Fourteenth Amendment, even though, in fact, no such "right" to same-sex "marriage" exists in the Fourteenth Amendment or anywhere else in the Constitution. Contrary to [[Liberal deceit|the claims]] of many liberals, the decision advanced [[big government]] by making the definition of marriage a federal and constitutional issue, in addition to a government issue.

Same-sex "marriage" is legal in twenty-two countries: the [[Netherlands]], [[Belgium]], [[Brazil]], [[Spain]], [[Canada]], [[South Africa]], [[Norway]], [[Sweden]], [[Portugal]], [[Iceland]], [[Argentina]], [[Denmark]], [[Uruguay]], [[Finland]], [[Luxembourg]], [[Ireland]], [[New Zealand]],<ref>http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10878200</ref> [[France]], the [[United States]], [[Germany]]<ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-41460032</ref> and the [[United Kingdom]] (excluding Northern Ireland) Additionally, in [[Mexico]], same-sex "marriage" is legal in the states of [[Quintana Roo]], [[Chihuahua]], [[Guerrero]] and [[Coahuila]], as well as in [[Mexico City]], a federal district similar to Washington, D.C. Other countries, such as [[Colombia]] and [[Chile]], recognize [[civil unions]] and [[domestic partnership]]s.<ref>[http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/english/doc/2004-03/05/content_311998.htm Countries worldwide address gay marriage]</ref><ref>[http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-08-05/tasmania-to-back-gay-marriage-intensifying-pressure-on-gillard]</ref>

In [[Norway]] and [[Sweden]], the adoption of same-sex "marriage" has led to a loss in respect for the marriage institution itself even for traditional couples. In [[Massachusetts]], the legalization of same-sex "marriage" led to a decline in property values.<ref>Florida, Richard, and Charlotta Mellander. "Journal of Economic Geography." There Goes the Metro: How and Why Bohemians, Artists and Gays Affect Regional Housing Values. Oxford University Press, 8 July 2009. Web. 30 June 2015. <http://joeg.oxfordjournals.org/content/10/2/167>.</ref> Also in response to the introduction of same-sex "marriage" the State Department of Public Health changed marriage certificates to read "Party A" and "Party B" instead of husband and wife.

In May 2012, voters in [[North Carolina]] banned both same-sex "marriage" and homosexual unions. North Carolina thereby became the 29th state to pass an [[amendment]] against same-sex "marriage", by a huge 61-39% margin.<ref>https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/OTUS/north-carolina-voters-ban-gay-marriage-civil-unions/story?id=16307081#.T6nLvOjlvKY</ref> [[Barack Obama]]—heavily dependent on donations from homosexuals for his reelection—rushed to prop up the homosexual agenda by endorsing same-sex "marriage" after its stunning defeat in this [[swing state]].

Some studies and polls about same-sex "marriage" conducted in a few countries generally claim support for same-sex "marriage" increases with higher levels of education, and that younger people are more likely to support the legalization of it than older generations due to propaganda campaigns targeting the younger generation.<ref>{{cite web|title=Survey - Generations at Odds: The Millennial Generation and the Future of Gay and Lesbian Rights|url=http://publicreligion.org/research/2011/08/generations-at-odds/|publisher=[[Public Religion Research Institute]]|accessdate=25 September 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Pew Forum: Part 2: Gay Marriage|url=http://www.pewforum.org/PublicationPage.aspx?id=647|publisher=[[Pew Research Center]]|accessdate=25 September 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Poirier|first=Justine|title=Same-Sex Marriage: Let's Make a Change|url=http://www.montrealites.ca/justice/same-sex-marriage-lets-make-a-change.html|publisher=Montréalités Justice|accessdate=25 September 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Data Points: Support for Legal Same-Sex Marriage|url=http://chronicle.com/article/Chart-Support-for-Legal/64683/|accessdate=25 September 2012|newspaper=The Chronicle of Higher Education|date=16 March 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Support for Same‐Sex Marriage in Latin America|url=http://www.vanderbilt.edu/lapop/insights/I0844.enrevised.pdf|publisher=[[Vanderbilt University]]|accessdate=25 September 2012}}</ref> Polls show the most religious people regardless of age are more likely to oppose it.<ref>{{cite news|last=Waldman|first=Steven|title=A Common Missed Conception|url=http://www.slate.com/articles/life/faithbased/2003/11/a_common_missed_conception.html|accessdate=25 September 2012|newspaper=[[Slate (magazine)]]|date=19 November 2003}}</ref> Prior to 2012, in each U.S. state to hold a voter referendum on the issue, the public rejected same-sex marriage laws by a small majority.<ref>{{cite news|title=Maine voters reject gay-marriage law|url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/feedarticle/8789627|accessdate=20 September 2012|newspaper=Associated Press via [[The Guardian]]|date=4 November 2009}}</ref> However, In 2012, [[Maine]], [[Washington]] and [[Maryland]] voted in favor of same-sex marriage.

Campaigns advocating same-sex "marriage" were at the forefront of the [[Homosexual rights advocacy|homosexual rights movement]]'s attempt to elevate [[homosexuality]] to the same moral plane as [[heterosexuality]], overturning centuries of established tradition whereby homosexuals would keep their (according to many Christians) sinful acts hidden. Some opponents of same-sex "marriage" claim its purpose is to destroy the [[family]] as an institution, merely to secure a legal basis for [[sexual freedom]]. According to some opponents of same-sex "marriage", the primary purpose of marriage is to bring joy to society as much as to safeguard the development of happy families, and it is not for individual glory. They believe that unrelated people living together make each other miserable and harm society. Among the many reasons homosexuals might advocate same-sex "marriage" are the ability to make emergent healthcare decisions for a loved one in the absence of a durable power of attorney or living will, the alteration of the laws of intestate succession to include homosexual partners, and the same tax treatment as heterosexual married couples.

Current [[United States]] [[law]] defines "marriage" as "one man, one woman" for purposes of the federal [[Defense of Marriage Act]], which prohibits the federal government from recognizing same-sex relationships as marriages for any purpose, even if permitted under state law, and permits a state to disregard a same-sex "marriage" entered into in another state. However, due to the liberal [[Supreme Court]] overturning section 3 of DOMA as "unconstitutional", the federal government currently recognizes homosexual "marriages" as equal to the traditional, correct marriage. An interesting consequence of the federal definition of "marriage" is that it specifically rules out [[polygamy]]. 

== Background ==
Public opinion about same-sex "marriage" has shifted rapidly. In the United States, the period between 2012 and 2015 marked a rapid shift in the public debate on this issue. While religious teachers continue to discuss this important topic, the matter has not received much public discussion since 2015. Indeed, in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, it was not a major issue raised by the candidates. Of the responses in a May 2016 Gallop Poll, 61% favored same-sex "marriage" and 37% opposed it.<ref>https://www.gallup.com/poll/117328/Marriage.aspx Retrieved March 3, 2017</ref> Responses in a 2016 Pew Forum poll found that only 27% of white evangelical Protestants and 39% of black Protestants favor same-sex "marriage" while it is supported by a majority of other religious groups and 80% of the nonaffiliated category.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pewforum.org/2016/05/12/changing-attitudes-on-gay-marriage/|date=May 12, 2016|title=Changing Attitudes on Gay Marriage|accessdate=March 7, 2017}}</ref>

In the United States, marriage is primarily governed by each individual state and marriage laws differ from state to state. Several states allow [[civil union]]s between two people of the same sex, and 37, [[Massachusetts]], [[Connecticut]], [[Vermont]], [[New Hampshire]], [[New York]], [[Maryland]], [[Maine]], [[Washington]], [[Rhode Island]], [[Iowa]], [[California]], [[Delaware]], [[Minnesota]], [[New Jersey]], [[Hawaii]], [[Illinois]], [[Oregon]], [[Idaho]], [[Nevada]], [[Utah]], [[Wyoming]], [[Montana]], [[Colorado]], [[Arizona]], [[Kansas]], [[Oklahoma]], [[Florida]], [[North Carolina]], [[South Carolina]], [[Virginia]], [[West Virginia]], [[Alaska]] and [[New Mexico]], plus the [[Washington, D.C.|District of Columbia]], currently issue same-sex "marriage" licenses, although most of these states were illegally forced to do so by activist federal courts acting outside of their mandate. Only in [[Maine]], [[Maryland]], and [[Washington]] has same-sex "marriage" been approved by popular vote. [[Minnesota]] was the first state, in 2012, in which voters voted against a state constitutional amendment defining marriage as between one man and one woman. Same-sex "marriages" were legal in [[Alabama]] for one month in 2015 following a federal court decision, but were halted by the Alabama Supreme Court pending the June 2015 ruling of the United State Supreme Court on the matter. Same-sex "marriages" are recognized by the federal government since the overturning of section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act, however, recognition varies between departments of the federal government, with some departments referring to the legality or non-legality of the "marriage" in which the "couple" resides, and others referring to the legality or non-legality of the "marriage" according to where the "marriage" took place.

In 1996 Congress recognized the likelihood that [[liberal]] activists would soon seek changes to the laws in some states that pertain to homosexuals. It considered the possibility of test cases reaching the Supreme Court, and of the court conceivably ruling that a state—even though it prohibits same-sex "marriage" itself—must honor same-sex "marriages" performed in another state pursuant to the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the United States Constitution. The Defense of Marriage Act, which was passed and signed by President Clinton, prevents this possibility, and also prevents the Federal Government from recognizing marriage as anything other than a union between a man and a woman. Its Constitutionality has not yet been tested under the Full Faith and Credit Clause, the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, or the Due Process Clause of the 5th Amendment.

In 1999 a Vermont court ruled that under its constitution, it was not required to allow same-sex "marriage" but was required to make provisions to grant same-sex couples legal rights identical to those provided by marriage. Vermont responded by creating "civil unions," which are legally distinct from marriages but convey the same rights. In 2009, the Vermont legislature overrode the governor's veto to pass a bill allowing same-sex "marriage".

In 2003 the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled that under Massachusetts' constitution, same-sex couples could not be denied Massachusetts marriage licenses, making Massachusetts the first state to issue same-sex "marriage" licenses. As of April 2009, same-sex "marriage" was legal in four states, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, and Iowa.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/08/us/08vermont.html?_r=1&hp ''Vermont Legislature Makes Same-Sex Marriage Legal'']</ref><ref>[http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081010/ap_on_re_us/connecticut_same_sex_marriage Conn. high court rules gay couples can marry]</ref>

Beginning in 2008, the states of Washington, and [[Oregon]] also provide for same-sex unions. Washington later legalized same-sex "marriage". [[Hawaii]] provides certain benefits to same sex couples.<ref>[http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/connecticut/ny-bc-ct--civilunions-optio0531may31,0,341613.story?coll=ny-region-apconnecticut Newsday]</ref> The State of New Hampshire issued civil unions until the summer of 2009, when it passed a bill approving same-sex "marriage" <ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/04/us/04marriage.html "New Hampshire Legalizes Same-Sex Marriage"]</ref> The state began issuing same-sex "marriage" licenses in January, 2010.

In the fall of 2009, a same-sex "marriage" bill was introduced to the [[Washington, D.C.]] city council by At-Large Council Member David Catania (who is openly homosexual). After two days of testimony involving nearly 250 witnesses,<ref>[https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/local/D_C_-Council-hears-from-both-sides-in-gay-marriage-debate-8442433-66188647.html ''D.C. Council hears from both sides in gay marriage debate'']</ref> the council voted to approve the bill, 11-2. Once signed by the Mayor, the bill went to Congress for a mandatory [[DC Home Rule|30-day review period]]. While opponents of the bill vowed to fight it in Congress<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/15/AR2009121500945.html "DC Council Approves Same-Sex Marriage"]</ref> it passed and became law in 2010.

Five years after ''Hernandez v. Robles'', a New York Court of Appeals case in which the court declined to legalize same-sex "marriage" in New York via judicial fiat, the New York legislature voted for same-sex "marriage" on June 24, 2011.<ref>https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/breaking-gay-marriage-passes-in-new-york</ref>

Same-sex "marriages" were legal for a brief period in the state of [[California]], but the people of that state voted to repeal the law in the fall of 2008,<ref>[http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122586056759900673.html "California Votes for Prop 8"]</ref> through a ballot initiative known as [[Proposition 8]]. The legislature of Maine approved a same-sex "marriage" bill in May 2009 <ref>[https://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/05/06/maine.same.sex.marriage/index.html "Lawmakers approve same-sex marriage in N.H., Maine"]</ref> but opponents lobbied to have the bill put up to a popular vote, and it was defeated by the voters in the fall of 2009.<ref>[https://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/11/04/maine.same.sex/index.html "Maine rejects same-sex marriage law"]</ref> Same-sex "marriage" eventually became legal again in California in 2013 after the United States Supreme Court declined to rule on the case after deciding that those defending it did not have standing to do so, after the gubernatorial administration of California and the attorney general of California had refused to defend the law.

In Israel, all marriages must be performed by a religious organization - there is no "civil" marriage. Specific religions may determine the definition of marriages that they perform, and none currently recognize same-sex couples. However, a Supreme Court decision determined that Israel must recognize all marriages performed outside the country, same-sex or opposite-sex. In September 2011, an Orthodox Jewish rabbi in Israel attempted to marry homosexual males to homosexual females so they could start a conventional family. However, the plan drew criticism both from liberals, who said the plan was meant to discourage homosexuality, and from conservatives, who argued the plan promoted loveless relationships.<ref>"Israeli rabbi pairs gays to lesbians" http://news.yahoo.com/israeli-rabbi-pairs-gays-lesbians-061904417.html</ref>

In the Netherlands overseas territories of [[Aruba]], [[Curacao]], and [[Sint Maarten]], same-sex "marriages" are not performed, but all marriages performed in the mainland portion of the country (including same-sex) are recognized. In [[Brazil]], same-sex civil unions can be converted to marriages by state judges on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, the state of [[Rhode Island]] recognizes, but does not perform, same-sex "marriages." Furthermore, [[California]] recognizes all same-sex "marriages" performed in or out of state before the passage of [[Proposition 8]].

Some opponents of same-sex "marriage" believe that the religious ceremony of marriage is governed by each denomination and is unaffected by laws passed by civil authority. Same-sex "marriage" is forbidden in Orthodox Judaism, Catholicism, and most mainstream Protestant denominations. In Conservative Judaism (no relation to the political philosophy known as "conservatism"), synagogues and rabbis are allowed, but not required, to recognize and perform same-sex "marriages". Reform Judaism also allows rabbis to use "good faith" on this issue, but as the least-religious branch of Judaism, they take this stance on most issues. Additionally, homosexuality (and by extension same-sex "marriage") is forbidden in [[Islam]].

Many [[libertarian]]s argue [[marriage privatization|eliminating any legal definition of "marriage"]] and simply granting legal benefits to all couples under a neutral name would solve this problem and satisfy both sides. This is called "marriage privatization". Many religious conservatives still feel this is unacceptable - see that article for more details.

Public attitudes toward same-sex "marriage" parallels attitudes toward homosexuality.

==Morality==
Social [[conservatives]] regard same-sex "marriage" as immoral, and argue that use of the word "[[marriage]]" is a misnomer, because the [[Form of Solemnization of Matrimony|marriage services]] of Christian denominations define marriage as the union of a man and a woman. Some social liberals try to use this debate as an excuse to take the socially-conservative view of marriage out of the law. In some Christian marriage ceremonies, the wedding will begin with a statement along the lines of: "Dearly beloved: We have come together in the presence of God to witness and bless the joining together of this man and this woman in Holy Matrimony,"<ref>''The Book of Common Prayer,'' Episcopal Church, The Church Hymnal Corporation and the Seabury Press, 1979: "The Celebration and Blessing of a Marriage," p. 423</ref> a definition which was also written into United States federal law in 1996.<ref>[http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode01/usc_sec_01_00000007----000-.html US Code - Title 1, section 7]</ref>

Dr. [[James Dobson]]'s [[Focus on the Family]] organization prefers the phrase ''same-sex "marriage"'' (which is also the phrasing preferred by Conservapedia), with quotation marks around the word "marriage," to call attention to his belief that marriage—civil as well as religious—is intrinsically a union between a man and a woman, and that that same-sex unions are counterfeits.<ref>[http://www.family.org/socialissues/A000000464.cfm Same-Sex 'Marriage' and Civil Unions], ''Focus on the Family's'' website</ref>

Use of the term "same-sex 'marriage'" was unheard of a few decades ago; however, these unions are now among a number of issues advocated by [[liberal]] activists. They argue that heterosexual people are allowed to marry and so the homosexual population should be given that right too.

Some advocates of same-sex "marriage" view marriage as a purely civil matter, which in the history of the United States is a position taken particularly strongly by Puritan colonists, who viewed the interjection of religion into the franchise of marriage as scandalous to Christ's Church.

== Motivation for advocating it==
[[Image:Cycle.gif|thumbnail|200px|right|A recent study by the [[Canada|Canadian]] government states that "violence was twice as common among homosexual couples compared with [[heterosexual]] couples".<ref>http://www.statcan.ca/english/research/85-570-XIE/2006001/findings/risk.htm Aforementioned Canadian Study.</ref>]]
[[James Dobson]] cites Stanley Kurtz to argue that the motivation of those advocating same-sex "marriage" is not to secure the benefits of marriage for homosexual couples, but to destroy the institution of marriage itself:
:...most gays and lesbians do not want to marry each other. That would entangle them in all sorts of legal constraints. Who needs a lifetime commitment to one person? The intention here is to destroy marriage altogether. With marriage as we know it gone, everyone would enjoy all the legal benefits of marriage (custody rights, tax-free inheritance, joint ownership of property, health care and spousal citizenship, etc.,) without limiting the number of partners or their gender. Nor would "couples" be bound to each other in the eyes of the law. This is clearly where the movement is headed.<ref>Stanley Kurtz, "Beyond Marriage," The Weekly Standard, August 4/August 11, 2003. - cited in [http://www.focusonthefamily.com/docstudy/newsletters/A000000771.cfm Marriage on the Ropes], Dr. James Dobson, retrieved from ''Focus on the Family'', 15 May 2007.</ref>

Homosexuals are beginning to admit they want what Mollenkott proposes, namely the destruction of the concept of [[monogamy]] and [[traditional marriage]] altogether. What they really are after is a society that recognizes every sexual arrangement as normal - even [[group sex]]ual liaisons and [[polygamy]].<ref name=pjones>
Peter Jones, ''The God of Sex: How Spirituality Defines Your Sexuality'', page 22</ref>

In reality nobody is trying to stop homosexuals from [[Sexual intercourse|doing what they want to do]], or tell them they can't live together, or have a domestic partnership. The only reason many people oppose same-sex "marriage" is to prevent the definition of "marriage", more of a religious institution than a legal one, from changing, and to avoid being forced to have to recognize a union between two persons of the same gender as if it were equivalent to a marriage between a man and a woman.

==Child-rearing and adoption==
According to a March, 2007 report, there are 65,000 adopted children in the U.S. being raised by same-sex couples. The same report says 14,100 foster children were being raised by one or more homosexual or lesbian foster parents.<ref>[https://www.cnn.com/2007/US/06/25/gay.adoption/index.html Gay adoption: A new take on the American family]</ref>

In Great Britain, the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) has expressed its full support to the stand taken by the Catholic Church opposing regulations on homosexual adoption. The Catholic Church sought to be exempt from the new law. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams of the Church of England, supports the Catholic Church's efforts declaring that the rights of conscience cannot be subject to laws. Catholic leaders have already said that its teachings prevent its agencies placing children with homosexuals and they will have to close if bound by the rules. The MCB, the UK's leading Muslim umbrella group embracing over 400 affiliated organizations, said that while it supported anti-discrimination laws, homosexuality is forbidden in Islam.<ref>[http://www2.irna.com/en/news/view/menu-234/0701266670200554.htm UK Muslim group backs Christian opposition to gay adoption rules London], Islamic republic News Agency, Jan 26, 2007.</ref>

Several states, including [[New York]], allow any two adults living together to adopt a child regardless of marital status or sex. This law provided a method for same-sex couples to adopt children even before New York legalized same-sex "marriage".

==Homosexual promiscuity==
''See also:'' [[Homosexuality and promiscuity]]

Studies indicate that homosexual couples have higher rates of promiscuity than heterosexual couples.<ref>[http://www.frc.org/get.cfm?i=IS04C02 Comparing the Lifestyles of Homosexual Couples to Married Couples]</ref> Allowing homosexuals to "marry" would make them seek more partners.<ref>2004 General Social Survey, Statistics Canada, Canada's National Statistical Agency, July 7, 2005</ref>

==Homosexual violence and abuse==
In addition, studies report that [[Homosexual Couples and Domestic Violence|homosexual couples have significantly higher incidences of violent behavior]]. These studies are not surprising given what pathologists have stated regarding the commonness and brutality of homosexual murders{{fact}} (see [[Homosexuality and Murders]]). The prevalence of violence and emotional abuse in same-sex domestic partnerships. One survey found 53% of homosexuals felt if the high incidence of violence against partners in homosexual relationships was known and understood by the heterosexual population, it would hinder the drive for homosexual rights.

Domestic abuse is divided into two categories, emotional abuse and physical abuse. While homosexual domestic abuse has not been studied to the extent that heterosexual relationships have, [[Homosexual Couples and Domestic Violence|preliminary studies indicate a much higher level of abuse]].

==Family breakdown ==
Bishop Harry Jackson has shown how same-sex "marriage" is causally linked to the breakdown of the family in recent decades, particularly the black family.<ref>[https://townhall.com/columnists/harryrjacksonjr/2008/10/13/the_naacp_abandons_the_black_family The NAACP Abandons the Black Family]</ref> As noted in the 1965 [[Daniel Patrick Moynihan|Moynihan]] Report,<ref>[http://www.dol.gov/oasam/programs/history/webid-meynihan.htm The Negro Family: The Case for National Action]</ref> the breakdown of the African-American family is a national concern. He has attributed support for same-sex "marriage" in the District of Columbia and Maryland to a demonic force called the [[Queen of Heaven]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=GMnaW-0rQ-U Harry Jackson, Cindy Jacobs Rally Against Same-Sex Marriage]</ref>

Subsequent to same-sex "marriage" becoming law in [[Massachusetts]], property values declined and many left the State, in contrast to those states that do not recognize it.{{citation needed}}

One study published in liberal magazine ''Time'', however, claims that the children of same-sex couples or homosexual parents have equal or higher scores in psychological evaluations as well as cognitive. Researchers Nanette Gartrell, a professor of psychiatry at the University of California at San Francisco, and Henry Bos, a behavioral scientist at the University of Amsterdam, led a study focused on planned lesbian families in which a lesbian couple had chosen to adopt children or undergo artificial insemination to start a family. The study claims that these children were shown to have higher self esteems and confidence which in turn enabled them to have higher test results academically than their straight-parent counterparts.<ref>[http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1994480,00.html],Study: Children of Lesbians May Do Better Than Their Peers</ref>

Same sex union stability has been studied in Norway and Sweden using registered partnerships.
Although in these countries patterns in divorce risks are rather similar in same-sex and opposite-sex marriages, marriages and that unions of lesbians are considerably less stable, or more dynamic, than unions of homosexual men. Divorce risk for female partnerships is practically double that for male partnerships. The authors argued a higher propensity for divorce in same-sex couples is perhaps not surprising given this group's lower exposure to normative pressure to maintain lifelong unions.

==Social dysfunction==
Legalization of same-sex "marriage" is correlated with social dysfunctions<ref>[http://www.allaboutlove.org/same-sex-marriage-countries.htm Same Sex Marriage Countries]</ref> that states and countries banning it have avoided. States and countries legalizing same-sex "marriage" have markedly different levels of quality of life from those that have banned it. For example, 8 of the 10 states with the highest median income have legalized same-sex "marriage" (Maryland, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Hawaii, Delaware, and California).

==Collapse of civilizations==
Some ancient civilizations that recognized same-sex "marriage" collapsed, while some that refused to recognize it escaped that fate.<ref>[http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Slippery-Slope-Of-Same-Sex-Marriage&id=824855 The Slippery Slope of Same Sex Marriage]</ref> However, [[Correlation is not causation]], and there is not even a large enough data set to get a correlation.

==Legal disadvantages for heterosexuals==
Legalization of same-sex "marriage" would confer [[special rights]] on homosexuals, thereby placing heterosexuals at a legal disadvantage.<ref>[http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2009/December/New-Jersey-Lawmakers-Drop-Same-Sex-Marriage-Bill/ New Jersey Lawmakers Drop Same-Sex Marriage Bill], from [[CBN]]</ref>

The fact that the strongest predictor of support for same-sex "marriage" is level of education<ref>[http://www.gainesville.com/article/20090902/ARTICLES/909021016?p=1&tc=pg UF study: Education best predicted support for gay marriage ban]</ref> shows that [[brainwashing]] into [[professor values]] has a corrosive effect on morality.

According to Bill Borst, a regular substitute radio host for conservative [[Phyllis Schlafly]] on WSIV, rights are a [[zero-sum game]].<ref>[http://bbprof.wordpress.com/2010/11/18/the-new-three-rs/ The New Three R's], by Bill Borst</ref> If this is true, granting same-sex couples the right to "marry" will necessarily come at the expense of the rights of others.

'''Marijuana''' (also spelled '''marihuana''', and colloquially known as "chronic", "ganja", "joint", "kush", "pot", "reefer", "hash", "cannabis" and "weed") is the name given to the flowering buds of the ''Cannabis'' genus of plant, divided into the species ''Sativa, Indica'' and ''Ruderalis'', prepared for extremely dangerous human consumption. The main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana is [[tetrahydrocannabinol|THC]], or delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, an [[organic chemistry|organic chemical]] compound which imitates natural cannabinoids produced in the human body. Because THC is considered harmful, marijuana is generally illegal to possess, cultivate and sell in most countries, although it is "legal" in some [[liberal]] states.<ref>The sale of marijuana is illegal virtually everywhere in the world (other than Uruguay, and as of mid-2018 Canada), and results in long prison sentences in many places. In Portugal, Argentina, California and South Australia, the use (rather than the sale) of small quantities of marijuana is allowed. In the United States it remains illegal under federal law, though the law is generally enforced only when dealing with large quantities indicating intent to distribute.</ref> In some extremely liberal jurisdictions, you can even buy it in a vending machine.<ref>E.g. [[Seattle]]</ref>

'''''Marijuana is a highly addictive drug that causes short-term memory loss, malaise, psychosis in predisposed individuals, violence and violent fits, as well as impairment of physical and mental functioning'''''. Studies confirm and even defenders of marijuana admit that it causes violent paranoia.<ref>"Smoking Marijuana makes you Violent. Paranoia, a natural thought process that all humans will experience at one time or another, is often experienced by heavy smokers more often than non smokers." [https://listwand.com/top-7-reasons-you-should-run-away-from-marijuana-weed/]</ref> Marijuana use may contribute to a rise in brain tumors. While some pretend that cannabis has "medicinal" benefits (see [[Medical marijuana]]), many scientists debunk that fiction and observe that there are numerous federally approved medicines for the diseases that "medicinal" marijuana has been used to treat. Marijuana consumption impairs one's ability to drive, thereby creating enormous hazards on the road.

The media downplays or even conceals the role of marijuana in murders that result from extreme paranoia. There were many media reports about the brutal random murder of the 22-year-old rookie police officer Natalie Corona in Davis, [[California]] in January 2019, by Kevin Douglas Limbaugh, a white man aged 48. The toxicology report on Limbaugh showed that he had THC in his blood, which demonstrates his marijuana use.<ref>https://www.visaliatimesdelta.com/story/opinion/2019/04/17/dont-ignore-mental-illness-ties-marijuana/3491146002/</ref> Yet media reports about the murderer's marijuana use are very hard to find.

A study from New Zealand conducted in part by researchers at Duke University showed that people who started smoking marijuana heavily in their teens and had an ongoing marijuana use disorder lost an average of 8 IQ points between ages 13 and 38. The lost mental abilities didn't fully return in those who quit marijuana as adults. Those who started smoking marijuana as adults didn't show notable IQ declines. <ref>https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/marijuana</ref>

As of early 2019, only two countries have legalized recreational use of marijuana, as in 2013 socialist [[Uruguay]] legalized the drug, and [[Canada]], under Trudeau's Liberal Party, legalized marijuana in October 2018. In the United States, nine states have "legalized" the recreational use of marijuana: Alaska, California, Colorado, Oregon, Massachusetts, Maine, Nevada, Vermont and Washington, along with Washington D.C., but not all allow sales of marijuana. All but three conservative states have either decriminalized marijuana or allowed limited medical usage for specific medical conditions. However, due to the Supremacy Clause, federal law, under which marijuana is illegal, overrules those states which have legalized or decriminalized, so their "legalization" is only de facto effective to the degree to which the federal government refrains from enforcing federal law.

==Legal history==
===United States===
Marijuana was first restricted in the United States on the federal level in 1937, with [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]]'s signing of the 1937 Marihuana Tax Act.<ref name="Kidd1970">{{cite book|author=Jeannette Kidd|title=Marihuana Tax Act of 1937: Its Causes and Effects|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DStZAAAAMAAJ|year=1970|publisher=University of Wisconsin--Madison|page=57}}</ref> On May 19, 1969, the Supreme Court declared the Marihuana Tax Act unconstitutional due to illegal self-incrimination, a violation of the Fifth Amendment, in the case of Leary v. United States.<ref>https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/395/6/#tab-opinion-1948101</ref> As a result, President Richard Nixon signed into law the Controlled Substances Act on October 27, 1970, renewing the ban on marijuana.<ref>https://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/21cfr/21usc/811.htm</ref> From 1973 to 1978, several US states "decriminalized" marijuana, meaning that they would not enforce state laws against minor marijuana use and possession. This began with Oregon, and was joined with Alaska, California, Minnesota, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Nebraska.<ref name="Dufton2017">{{cite book|author=Emily Dufton|title=Grass Roots: The Rise and Fall and Rise of Marijuana in America|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Qo6YDgAAQBAJ|date=5 December 2017|publisher=Basic Books|isbn=978-0-465-09617-6}}</ref> In 1996 in California, a voter referendum legalized the use of marijuana for medical usages, allowing it to be used for any condition for which a patient presented a doctor's recommendation.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Balzar|first1=John|title=Voters Approve Measure to Use Pot as Medicine|url=http://articles.latimes.com/print/1996-11-06/news/mn-62740_1_voters-approve-measure|accessdate=February 9, 2018|work=Los Angeles Times|date=November 6, 1996}}</ref> [[Arizona]] also passed a medical cannabis ballot measure, but it was rendered ineffective on a technicality.<ref>{{citation|title=State-By-State Medical Marijuana Laws|url=https://www.mpp.org/issues/medical-marijuana/state-by-state-medical-marijuana-laws/state-by-state-medical-marijuana-laws-report/|publisher=Marijuana Policy Project|date=December 2016}}</ref> Other states followed, and in 2014 Utah became the first state to legalize only some derivatives of marijuana, not the full drug itself.<ref>{{cite news|title=First-of-its-kind medical marijuana law signed in Utah|url=https://www.rt.com/usa/utah-charlees-law-marijuana-409/|accessdate=February 10, 2018|work=RT|date=March 26, 2014}}</ref> In 2012, Washington and Colorado "legalized" recreational marijuana by voter initiative;<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/11/07/psychological-impact-legalizing-marijuana.html</ref> by early 2018 the number of recreational legal states reached nine with the addition of Vermont.<ref>https://www.reuters.com/article/us-vermont-marijuana/vermont-senate-passes-bill-to-legalize-marijuana-use-idUSKBN1EZ2KS</ref>

Marijuana is a [[Schedule I]] [[Controlled Substance]] in the United States of America, meaning that it is illegal under federal law of the United States, and considered to have no redeemable medical value. According to the FBI, in 2012, there were 658,000 arrests for marijuana possession compared with 256,000 for cocaine, heroin and their derivatives.<ref name=nyt>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/07/27/opinion/sunday/high-time-marijuana-legalization.html?_r=0|title=Repeal Prohibition, Again|work=New York Times|date=July 26, 2014|accessdate=July 27, 2014}}</ref>

Many liberals have advocated for decriminalization, including National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, Marijuana Policy Project, and Law Enforcement Against Prohibition.<ref>[http://www.leap.cc Law Enforcement Against Prohibition]</ref><ref>http://www.lp.org/issues/lp-oss.shtml</ref> On July 26, 2014, the ''New York Times'' published an editorial calling for removing federal controls over marijuana for people 21 and older, leaving the question to individual states.<ref name=nyt/> Many [[American]] [[conservative]]s, especially social conservatives, oppose legalization of marijuana in any form due to its perceived harmful medical and psychological effects and its likelihood of harm to third parties due to drug-related crime and reckless driving. A few libertarian-leaning conservatives, most notably [[Ron Paul]], [[William F. Buckley]], and [[Larry Elder]], have advocated the decriminalization of this drug. Some [[liberal]]s support legalization, but most instead advocate for drug treatment and rehabilitation. [[Libertarian]]s are usually the biggest supporters of marijuana legalization. [[Gary Johnson]], a former Republican and 2012 Libertarian Party Presidential candidate for president, is the highest ranking US politician to advocate for marijuana legalization. He was a two-term Governor of [[New Mexico]].

Legalization on a Federal level is virtually impossible, since the United States was a major leader in the international treaty known as the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs<ref>[url=https://www.unodc.org/pdf/convention_1961_en.pdf]</ref> of 1970. Said treaty is defined by the Constitution as carrying equal weight to an Amendment to the Constitution; therefore, the only way marijuana could ever be legal on a Federal level is if we withdrew from a treaty of our own creation as a prerequisite to legalization.

The [[H.R. 3884|Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act]] was passed through the U.S. House of Representatives on December 4th, 2020. Passage in the Senate is very unlikely.

===Overseas===
The [[Netherlands]] decriminalized the use of marijuana in 1976. As a result, marijuana use among the 18-25 age group doubled, however, despite its availability, marijuana use in the Netherlands is lower than the European average. The Netherlands also saw an influx of "drug tourists" and other undesirables, as well as an increase in crime. In 2013, the government of the Netherlands enacted a new toleration rule regarding the use of marijuana in order to combat drug tourism, essentially restricting access of marijuana to citizens<ref>https://www.government.nl/topics/drugs/toleration-policy-regarding-soft-drugs-and-coffee-shops</ref>. Crime has since leveled out, leaving the Netherlands with one of the lowest crime rates in Europe until recently<ref>https://www.osac.gov/Country/Netherlands/Content/Detail/Report/5854ae95-5573-449f-a294-1865caaef8ae</ref>.

In several countries, particularly in [[Western Europe]], cannabis use has been decriminalized. However, in many other countries, particularly those in the Middle East and Asia, possession of even small amounts of cannabis can be punishable by death.

In 2013, Uruguay initiated nationwide legalization of recreational marijuana, becoming the first developed nation to do so in the modern era.<ref name="FijnautRuyver2015">{{cite book|author1=Cyrille J.C.F. Fijnaut|author2=Brice de Ruyver|title=The Third Way: A Plea for a Balanced Cannabis Policy|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bCdACgAAQBAJ&pg=PA57|date=24 July 2015|publisher=BRILL|isbn=978-90-04-29319-9|pages=57–}}</ref> Canada legalized recreational cannabis in October 2018, allowing "pot shops" that sold marijuana under the ruse of "medicinal" purposes to drop the pretense and begin selling marijuana openly for recreational purposes.

In December 2020, the United Nations voted to reclassify marijuana from the most restrictive Schedule IV classification (equivalent to the US Schedule I) to the less restrictive U.N. Schedule I, indicating that marijuana has a valid medicinal value, while still being highly addictive<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/02/world/europe/cannabis-united-nations-drug-policy.html</ref>. Should liberals have their way, this opens the window for the U.S. to classify marijuana as Schedule II without violating the Single Convention.

==Adverse effects==
[[File:Brain abnormalities of marijuana user.jpg|thumbnail|Areas of the brain negatively effected by THC]]
Marijuana contains many of the same carcinogens as tobacco, and some research suggests that when smoked, it shares the same risk of lung cancer<ref>[https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/06/090615095940.htm Science Daily 6/9/2009]</ref> If smoked, marijuana also leads to a temporary increase in heart rate and blood pressure resulting is a slight increase in the risk for heart related problems including heart attack.<ref>[http://www.askmen.com/sports/health/20_mens_health.html AskMen: Benefits of Marijuana]</ref> Chronic smokers often suffer from mild withdrawal symptoms, however marijuana is not believed to be physically addictive.<ref>[http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-teenage-mind/201012/is-marijuana-addictive Psychology Today: Is Marijuana Addictive?]</ref> Marijuana can impair judgment, motor skills, and balance.<ref>[http://www.acde.org/common/Marijana.htm]</ref> Prenatal exposure to marijuana has also been linked to impaired learning and developmental disability in children.<ref>[http://www.nature.com/npp/journal/v31/n10/full/1301068a.html Neuropsycopharmacology: High-Potency Marijuana Impairs Executive Function and Inhibitory Motor Control]</ref> If marijuana is consumed heavily and on a daily basis by children around the age of 12 for a period of years, even liberal scientists have been forced to conclude that humans have a 1/4th random chance of developing psychosis, based on a random genetic trait.<ref>[http://www.psychiatrictimes.com/schizophrenia/cannabis-psychosis-link] The Cannabis-Psychosis Link</ref> However, all of these adverse effects, which have been the motivation for making recreational use of marijuana illegal, are typically ignored by the liberal advocates of recreational marijuana use, who use deceitful and dismissive arguments (including the creation, publication and use of fraudulent "studies" which claim to "debunk" the science proving the negative effects of marijuana, without offering any legitimate proof behind their "debunking" claims) against keeping marijuana use illegal to justify its use and are motivated both by politics and simply by doing what they want at the expense of public health and safety.<ref name="pot debate">[https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/marijuana-legalization-debate-prompts-a-new-high-in-democratic-hypocrisy Marijuana legalization debate prompts a new high in Democratic hypocrisy] at Fox News</ref><ref>[https://canadafreepress.com/article/legalize-marijuana-be-careful-what-you-wish-for Legalize Marijuana? Be Careful What You Wish For!] at [[Canada Free Press]]</ref>

===Crime===
The [[liberal media]] typically downplay or completely ignore the role of marijuana in [[Young mass murderers|mass killings]], horrific accidents, and other types of harm to innocent people victimized by users of the drug. For example, authorities conceal from the public how much marijuana was in the system of "College Weed Dealer" [[Young mass murderers|Dzhokhar Tsarnaev]] when he went on his killing rampage.<ref>http://www.theatlanticwire.com/national/2013/04/dzhokhar-tsarnaev-dealing-drugs/64529/</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://canadafreepress.com/article/can-marijuana-fuel-jihad|title=Can Marijuana Fuel Jihad?|last=Kincaid|first=Cliff|date=|newspaper=Canada Free Press|access-date=February 17, 2017|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|work=|language=en|via=}}</ref> ''Rolling Stone'' magazine, which has often featured musicians who abuse drugs, put Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on its July 13, 2013 cover. The magazine's article described him as "a dedicated pot smoker" and local dealer who "always had big Tupperware containers of weed in his fridge." <ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/jahars-world-20130717|title=Jahar: The Making of a Monster|last=Reitman|first=Janet|date=July 17, 2013|newspaper=Rolling Stone|access-date=February 17, 2017|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|work=|via=}}</ref>

The current trend of marijuana becoming legal on the state level has lead to increased supply in the United States, which in turn has lead to Mexican drug cartels choosing to switch to heroin and methamphetamine, both far deadlier drugs, due to marijuana commanding a lesser profit margin.<ref>https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2018/02/20/mexican-cartels-switch-gears-after-u-s-states-relax-u-s-states-legalize-marijuana-mexicos-cartels-sw/343389002/</ref><ref>https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Heroin#section=Human-Toxicity-Values</ref><ref>https://inhomelandsecurity.com/mexican-cartels-marijuana-profit</ref><ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3145326/</ref>

==Medical benefits==
Advocates of marijuana claim that the active ingredient in marijuana, [[Tetrahydrocannabinol|THC]], has been shown to produce some short-term psychological and medicinal "benefits", which are probably more than offset by the medical harm. For example, Harvard University conducted a study on the effect of Δ-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol on certain lung cancers, claiming that THC might help reduce a lung cancer tumor size by as much as half.<ref>[https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/04/070417193338.htm Science Daily 4/7/2007]</ref> In addition to a significant reduction in tumor size, there was a reduction in lesions on the lungs by 60%, and a reduction in protein markers associated with the progression of cancer.<ref>[https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/04/070417193338.htm Science Daily 4/17/2007]</ref>

Marijuana is used to relieve symptoms experienced by patients afflicted with [[amyotrophic lateral sclerosis|ALS]].<ref>[http://ajh.sagepub.com/content/18/4/264.short American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Medicine]</ref>

Marijuana is an [[antispasmodic]] and [[anticonvulsant]] is used in the treatment of seizures.<ref>[http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=9586&page=106 National Academies Press: Marijuana and muscle spasticity]</ref> Marijuana is also used in the treatment of migraines, arthritis,<ref>[http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/art.1780090304/abstract Online Library: Treatment of adjuvant arthritis in rats with anti-inflammatory drugs]</ref> depression,<ref name="interestingfacts.org">[http://www.interestingfacts.org/fact/facts-about-marijuana Interesting Facts: Facts about marijuana]</ref> and glaucoma. However the effect of marijuana on intraocular pressure (IOC) is not as effective as those offered by other drugs on the market.<ref>[http://www.nei.nih.gov/news/statements/marij.asp National Eye Institue: Glaucoma and Marijuana use]</ref> In states where marijuana is legal (either completely or via medication), parents of young children have been known to seek out strains that are high in Cannabidiol (CBD) and low in THC; Cannabidiol is known to counteract the "high" of THC, and is believed to be the cause of the anti-seizure effects when consumed.

There have not been many in-depth and widely distributed studies into the possible medicinal effects of marijuana. However, with political pressure from [[liberal]]  advocates of marijuana, more accredited institutions are conducting research on the drug.

Despite state legality, physicians are reluctant to prescribe "medicinal" marijuana fearing it may jeopardize their DEA license to prescribe controlled substances.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/810356|title=Medical Marijuana: The Imperative of Educating Physicians|last=Schatman|first=Michael|date=September 6, 2013|website=Medscape|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}}</ref> "Medicinal" marijuana is used by physicians as a last-resort in states where it is legal or semi-legal (under state law), but also misused by people who simply want to get high. "Medicinal" marijuana, however well-intentioned and beneficial, will also lead to abuses in that system.

===Marinol===
''Marinol'' (a brand formulation of dronabinol)<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.drugscience.org/Archive/bcr3/n3_Marinol.html|title=The Bulletin of Cannabis Reform|website=www.drugscience.org|access-date=2017-02-17}}</ref> is a schedule III controlled substance, approved for relief of nausea and vomiting in persons undergoing cancer chemotherapy and to improve appetite in persons with AIDS. It is dispensed in gelatin capsules containing synthetic Δ-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol dissolved in sesame oil. Liberals advocating "medicinal" marijuana do their best to ignore this drug. A 1998 survey of physicians, addiction specialists and police demonstrated no evidence or concern about the abuse, dependence or diversion of Marinol.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Calhoun|first=S. R.|last2=Galloway|first2=G. P.|last3=Smith|first3=D.

===Cannabidiol (CBD)===
CBD is chemically extracted from the cannabis plant. It is legal in most states, and its oil has been proven to be effective in certain cases of epilepsy and insomnia. So far, any other effects have been demonstrated to be snake-oil. While CBD itself is safe, oils claiming to contain CBD are currently unregulated by the FDA.<ref>https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/cannabidiol-cbd-what-we-know-and-what-we-dont-2018082414476</ref>

==Tax revenue==
Marijuana advocates, ignoring the adverse health, cultural, and societal effects of legalized marijuana, point to increased tax revenue in states where it is legal and heavily taxed.<ref>https://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewdepietro/2018/05/04/how-much-money-states-make-cannabis-sales/#19f8144af181</ref> Colorado alone has made over $1 billion in tax revenue over the course of its five years of legalization, roughly the same amount that the seven states where marijuana is both legal and taxed made in 2018.<ref>https://wjla.com/news/nation-world/colorado-made-1b-in-marijuana-tax-revenue-what-could-this-mean-for-federal-legalization</ref><ref>https://www.forbes.com/sites/niallmccarthy/2019/03/26/which-states-made-the-most-tax-revenue-from-marijuana-in-2018-infographic/#6f3f0bc17085</ref>

*An average human will pass out after consuming 1/14 of the LD-50 of weed, which is why no overdoses have ever been reported. Driving while high, however, is extremely dangerous.<ref>[https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/drugged-driving]</ref>
*[[Barack Hussein Obama|Barack Obama]] has admitted to use of marijuana. Former President [[Bill Clinton]] has also admitted to smoking marijuana, but claims that he "did not inhale". Former President [[George W. Bush]] privately admitted to smoking marijuana, but stated he wouldn't state it publicly "'Cause I don't want some little kid doing what I tried."
*Marijuana was originally a slang name, and as such, it is the only drug to be legally defined by its slang name
*Industrial marijuana was briefly made legal in World War II in order to keep up with the demand of rope, canvas and other materials traditionally made from hemp<ref>https://ministryofhemp.com/blog/hemp-for-victory-disappear</ref>
*Marijuana is called "weed" because it grows like one- heterogeneous marijuana grows in every part of the world except for the Arctic poles. In the United States, one can report the accidental growth of marijuana on ones' property to law enforcement without fear of criminal penalty
*Like many plants, marijuana was selectively bred over the course of millennia in order to increase its potency. Primitive marijuana plants, if smoked, would induce a headache rather than the desired "high"

'''Kamala Devi Harris''' (Spanish: '''Que mala'''<ref>How sick, How bad, How horrible, How mean. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/why-did-kamala-harris-let-herbalife-off-the-hook_n_5c8fab16e4b03e83bdc39a37</ref>) as of 2021 occupies the office of [[Vice President of the United States|vice-president of the United States]]. Harris is perhaps best known for inciting [[violence]] and [[riot]]s across [[America]] causing some $2 billion in property damages and at least 40 lives.<ref>https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/kamala-harris-about-riots-theyre-not-gonna-stop-and-they-should-not/</ref><ref>https://thefederalist.com/2019/07/29/kamala-harris-praises-anti-semite-who-incited-race-riots-anti-jewish-pogroms/</ref><ref>https://nypost.com/2020/09/26/kamala-harris-blasted-for-praising-blm-as-essential-and-brilliant-amid-violence/</ref> As California Attorney General she is known for separating parents from children and splitting up families.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jan/31/kamala-harris-laughed-jailing-parents-truancy</ref> On March 24, 2021 Harris was put in charge of implementing the Democrat administration's migrant "babies in cages" policy.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/kamala-harris-endorses-ripping-children-from-their-parents-at-the-border</ref>

Harris is a [[racist]] [[Democrat]] and former Senator from [[California]] who publicly ridiculed [[Jamaica]]ns as pleasure-seeking [[marijuana|pot]] smokers (Harris herself has publicly bragged about smoking marijuana). Harris' racist views have been disavowed by her own family.<ref>https://www.waynedupree.com/2020/08/kamala-harris-father-identify-politics/</ref> Harris is one-quarter black Jamaican, one-quarter [[white]] descendant of slave owners, and half South Asian.<ref>[https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/sfgate/obituary.aspx?pid=125330757 Obituary for Kamala Harris's mother which describes her background]</ref>

Harris is an outspoken advocate of defunding the police,<ref>https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/view-meghan-mccain-kamala-harris-police-defunding-explanation-a9555436.html</ref> which she euphemistically refers to as "re-imagining",<ref>https://www.forbes.com/sites/sethcohen/2020/06/08/ragine-the-police-kamala-harris/#499188215c6d</ref> despite 81% of [[Black]]s opposing [[lawlessness]] in [[Democrat urban issues|predominantly Democrat-run cities]]. According to the [[Gallup Poll]], [[African American]]s in fact would like to see more policing in their communities.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/gallup-poll-81-of-black-people-want-police-to-stay-in-their-neighborhoods</ref> Harris publicly lent her name to a fundraising campaign to bail out insurrectionists who burnt down the [[DFL riots|Minneapolis Police 3rd Precinct]] in June 2020; on the issue of defunding the [[Capitol Police]], Harris has remained silent.

Former Vice President [[Joe Biden]] announced Harris as his running mate for the [[2020 presidential election]] on August 11, 2020.<ref>Caplan, Joshua (August 11, 2020).

Like her white master Joe Biden, Harris is also a descendant of [[Slave Power|slave owners]] and is not ADOS (American Descendants of Slavery).<ref>https://nationalfile.com/kamala-is-descended-from-slave-owner-will-it-affect-the-race/</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/Woj_Pawelczyk/status/1145441281809821696</ref> It was indeed her [[white privilege]] that gave her family a [[bourgeois]] lifestyle in Jamaica and in the United States, and later a successful career in politics. Harris announced her candidacy for the [[2020 presidential election]] in early 2019, with [[Marc Elias]] of the [[Perkins Coie]] law firm serving as her general counsel. Harris has promised [[riot]]s will not stop before or after the election.<ref>https://twitter.com/chiIIum/status/1299077701916073984</ref> Harris has shown no compunction about stepping on the backs of the alleged oppressed people she supposedly represents to promote her career.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/tulsi-gabbard-just-humiliated-kamala-harris-in-front-of-10-million-people</ref>

Harris's rise to prominence in the [[Democratic Party|Democrat Party]] came about by having a sexual affair with a powerful married California Democrat three decades her senior, earning her the nickname, "HeelsUp Harris."<ref>https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/politics/a26077919/kamala-harris-willie-brown-dating-explained/</ref><ref>https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/06/kamala_heelsupharris_ascends_to_the_top_of_the_biden_vp_list_what_could_go_wrong.html</ref> California House Speaker and former San Francisco mayor [[Willie Brown]] used his clout with donors to fund Harris' run for San Francisco D.A.

Harris's qualifications consist of checking off multiple [[intersectional]] boxes in the Democrats' program of [[identity politics]] and, according to the ''[[Washington Post]]'', her "black, low-rise Chuck Taylor All-Stars, the classic Converse shoe that has long been associated more closely with cultural cool than carefully managed high-profile candidacies."<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/media/washington-post-kamala-harris-shoes-slammed</ref> ''[[NBC News]]'' is enthralled by her bold fashion statement "Harris wears Timberlands to survey [[California wildfires|California wildfire]] damage" and people's lives turned to ash.

Perhaps a mixture of both. That jaunty strut? A construction boot made popular by [[New York]] rappers?

==Biden-Harris junta==
:{{See also|Biden junta}}
A YouGov poll conducted after the [[junta]]'s first 100 days showed a staggering 36 percent of voters have a “very unfavorable” opinion of Kamala Harris. The same poll showed Harris 25 points underwater with Independents and 10 points negative among voters overall.<ref>https://docs.cdn.yougov.com/lftymxzxfl/econTabReport.pdf</ref> Political analyst Charlie Cooke observed:
{{quotebox-float|"Still, that Harris is unpopular should come as no great surprise, given that she somehow manages to combine into a single package a transparent insincerity, an unvarnished authoritarianism, and a tendency toward precisely the sort of self-satisfied progressivism that helped the Republicans to limit their losses at the last general election. If her apologists wish to, they can pretend that the reaction Harris yields is “gendered” or “systemic” or “inequitable” or whatever other bastardized academic term is fashionable this week, and they should feel free to knock themselves out doing so. Deep down, though, they must know that America isn’t the problem here. The problem is that Harris is a phony.<ref>https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/05/the-democrats-have-a-kamala-harris-problem/</ref>}}

Democrat Rep. [[Henry Cuellar]], whose district was hardest hit by disaster, had been calling for months for the Biden junta to listen to the people in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, to him, and to [[law enforcement]] that is overwhelmed called Harris' visit to [[El Paso]] in the Upper Rio Rio Grande Valley a “politically safe” trip, a “check the box” kind of trip and a "joke". Harris never consulted with Cuellar, Texas governor [[Greg Abbott]], or other local people.

====Unsanitary conditions====
According to ''[[Politico]]'',<ref>https://www.politico.com/newsletters/west-wing-playbook/2021/06/28/the-white-houses-centrists-strike-back-493400</ref> White House and [[Health and Human Services]] officials were frustrated after being left with the task of cleaning up remarks about the Mexican border by [[Symone Sanders]], senior spokesperson for Harris. Sanders told reporters that Biden and Harris “have instructed [[Xavier Becerra|[HHS Secretary Xavier] Becerra]] to do a thorough investigation” of the El Paso army base where migrant children locked in cages. But Psaki and others had to tell ''[[The Guardian]]'' that no such investigation exists. “At no time did The White House recommend a probe of the facility,” a White House spokesman told ''The Guardian''.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jun/25/kamala-harris-us-mexico-border-visit-migration</ref> [[CBS News]] also reported that a White House official said that Biden did not order a formal investigation.<ref>https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-orders-probe-into-fort-bliss-base-holding-migrant-children/</ref>

According to a [[whistleblower]] complaint, children were forced to sleep in tents that “were dirty and often had a foul odor,” at times smelling of sewage at the Fort Bliss, Texas army base, one of the camps the Biden junta used to hold 5,000 children. Children were not given prompt medical care when experiencing health crises, including one girl who had a panic attack after learning that her old sister was dying and another who, after not receiving her period for months, began bleeding profusely. One 13-year-old from [[Honduras]] at Fort Bliss recounted that a friend was served raw or undercooked chicken “that still had feathers in it.”<ref>https://www.rollcall.com/2021/07/07/whistleblowers-detail-poor-hygiene-for-migrant-kids-at-texas-site/</ref>

The complaint was sent to various congressional committees and to the [[Health and Human Services]] (HHS) inspector general. The Health and Human Services Department hired a water-and-fire damage repair contractor with no training to supervise migrant children at the Texas army base. As of July 2021 there were roughly 14,500 children in HHS custody at several of its concentration camps.

When chief border czar Kamala Harris visited Texas in June 2021, she studiously avoided Fort Bliss.

According to [[CBS News]], children were held in overcrowded conditions, and some were having to sleep on the floor and were going hungry. One immigration lawyer representing the children said there were kids who have only showered once in seven days and weren’t allowed to shower more often. The children were not allowed outdoors and complained of not seeing the sun in days. The Donna complex which is supposed to hold only 250 people held 1,800, or 729% of its pandemic era capacity. The migrants were not able to practice any social distancing because of the massive number of people.<ref>https://www.cbsnews.com/news/migrant-children-detained-in-overcrowded-conditions/</ref> The ''New York Post'' wrote in an editorial, "While we feel Trump was wrongly vilified for these facilities, Biden deserves every knock of hypocrisy leveled against him."<ref>https://nypost.com/2021/02/24/bidens-kids-in-cages-prove-his-hypocrisy-on-immigration/</ref> ''[[Time magazine]]'' pleaded for the Dear Leader to end locking babies in cages.<ref>https://time.com/5945307/biden-end-detention-migrant-children/</ref>

''[[The Washington Post]]'' reported “[y]oung people are waiting in cramped, austere holding cells with concrete floors and benches. Lights remain on 24 hours a day, agents say, and there are few places to play.”<ref>https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/unaccompanied-minors-detention-cells/2021/03/10/a0d39390-81c6-11eb-bb5a-ad9a91faa4ef_story.html</ref> [[CNN]]’s Pamela Brown reported that “as the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border gets worse, the media is being kept from it despite calls of transparency from the Biden administration. Reporters and photographers were not been allowed inside the facilities where thousands of unaccompanied children are being kept in similar to jail-like conditions."<ref> https://youtu.be/FrUwXhmgLlM</ref>

When negative publicity arose, the Biden team then emptied the cages and forced children to sleep in buses overnight, according to [[NBC News]].<ref>https://twitchy.com/brettt-3136/2021/05/13/joe-bidens-america-migrant-children-stuck-overnight-on-parked-buses-for-consecutive-days-and-nights/</ref>

===Guatamala & Mexico visits===

When Harris visited Guatemala and Mexico, she said that if you want to fix a problem, you have to go to where the problem is and listen to the people. “I almost believe that if you want to fix a problem, you have to go where the problem exists,” Harris declares. “If you want to address the needs of a people, you must meet those people. You must spend time with those people. Because the only way to fix the problem, is to understand the problem.”<ref>https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2021/06/24/border-dem-busts-the-real-reason-kamala-is-going-to-el-paso-border-area-n401824</ref>
[[File:Harris covid.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Kamala Harris was hospitalized on a Sunday for a "routine doctor’s appointment”, according to the White House after coming in contact with covid at a White House superspreader event, despite being fully vaccinated.]]
In [[Guatemala]], President Alejandro Giammattei there told Harris the massive influx at the border was due to the Biden/Harris policies. The people of Guatemala were very angry with the Biden junta for its empowerment and support of Latin American criminal gangs and drug cartels. Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei told CBS News, “We asked the United States government to send more of a clear message to prevent more people from leaving,” Giammattei said. When Biden took office, “The message changed too: ‘We’re going to reunite families, we’re going to reunite children,’” he said. “The very next day, the coyotes were here organizing groups of children to take them to the United States.” When Border Czar Kamala Harris arrived for a visit, the 56-year-old pro-abortion childless woman was not well received in the Catholic country. The junta facilitated the trafficing of [[Central America]]n children in criminal gangs. Protesters greeted her "Kamala Go Home" and made clear her anti-pro-abortion messages and failure to protect Hispanic child immigrants were not well received.<ref>https://nypost.com/2021/06/07/guatemala-protesters-tell-kamala-harris-trump-won/</ref>

===Coronavirus===

After Kamala was vaccinated in a much-publicized photo-op, she and her husband were seen kissing through masks in another photo-op.

When the Democrat statehouse delegation fled [[Texas]] to avoid voting on [[election integrity]] laws, Kamala met with them in Washington, D.C. for a photo-op. The photo-op turned into a coronavirus superspreader event. The next day 3 state legislators with whom Kamala had been in close contact tested positive for [[Covid]]. On Sunday, July 18, 2021, Kamala was hospitalized for a "routine doctor’s appointment”, according to the White House press office.<ref>https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2021/07/18/kamala-harris-heads-to-walter-reed-after-meeting-with-covid-texas-dems-n412762</ref>

===Toxic work environment===
In the wake of her disastrous photo ops in Guatemala, Mexico, and El Paso, staffers began to quit, citing that Kamala is impossible to work with.<ref>https://townhall.com/tipsheet/rebeccadowns/2021/06/26/top-travel-aides-for-kamala-harris-are-quitting-and-it-could-hardly-come-at-a-worse-time-n2591632</ref> ''[[Politico]]'' reported that Kamala's office is ''"Not a healthy environment’: rife with dissent. There is dysfunction inside the VP’s office, aides and administration officials say. And it’s emanating from the top."''<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2021/06/30/kamala-harris-office-dissent-497290</ref>
{{quotebox-float|"Harris’ team is experiencing low morale, porous lines of communication and diminished trust among aides and senior officials....22 current and former vice presidential aides, administration officials and associates of Harris and Biden described a tense and at times dour office atmosphere.

Often, they said, she refuses to take responsibility for delicate issues and blames staffers for the negative results that ensue.... “It all starts at the top,” said one of the administration officials, who like others requested anonymity to be able to speak candidly about a sensitive matter.

“People are thrown under the bus from the very top, there are short fuses and it’s an abusive environment,” said another person with direct knowledge of how Harris’ office is run. “It’s not a healthy environment and people often feel mistreated. It’s not a place where people feel supported but a place where people feel treated like s---.”

The dysfunction in the VP’s ranks threatens to complicate the White House’s carefully crafted image as a place staffed by a close-knit group of professionals working in concert to advance the president’s agenda. It’s pronounced enough that members of the president’s own team have taken notice and are concerned about the way Harris’ staffers are treated....for some of the people who know Harris best, it’s become an all-too-familiar pattern for a politician who has churned through several iterations of staff on her rise and took office with a team almost entirely new to her.

Others have left already. ...The morale level for current Harris staffers is “rough” and in many ways similar to the failed presidential campaign and her Senate office, according to the former Senate aide."}}
Aides describe Harris as unpredictable and at times demeaning to her staff.

===The largest voter fraud organization ever===

:{{See also|Cloward-Piven strategy|Voter fraud|Ballot harvesting|2020 Voter fraud timeline}}
The probability of mail-in voter fraud creating chaos after Election Day, November 3, 2020, is very real. Some states may force residents to use mail-in ballots during the current health emergency. Voting by mail makes it easier to commit [[fraud]], intimidate voters, and destroy the protections of the secret ballot. Without the oversight of election and polling officials, mail-in ballots are the ballots most vulnerable to being altered, stolen, or forged. Fraud by duplicate voting can occur, once by absentee or mail-in ballot, and then again in person. Employees of private companies hired to contact and register voters have been known to change party affiliations of voters and forge signatures on voter registration forms, among other things.

Ten days before the election Biden went back into hiding and boasted of having assembled "the most extensive and inclusive [[voter fraud]] organization in history.”<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/10/24/joe-biden-brags-about-having-most-extensive-voter-fraud-organization-in-history/</ref> When Democrats want to tilt elections in their favor outside the ballot box, [[Marc Elias]] of [[Perkins Coie]] is the go-to guy. Perkins Coie is the Democratic law firm, paid by [[2016 Hillary Clinton campaign|the Hillary Clinton campaign]], that hired [[Fusion GPS]] to dig up dirt on Donald Trump in 2016. They failed, but still compiled the ''[[Steele dossier]]'' full of foreign-solicited lies about Trump and Russia, which was leaked by Obama intelligence officials to try to sabotage the new president’s administration, sow doubt in his election victory, and invalidate the votes of 63 million Americans. From [[Wisconsin]] to [[Nevada]], to [[California]], Marc Elias and the Democrats pushed lawsuits disguised as “election reform” to water down important election safeguards and increase the opportunity for fraud, abuse, and corruption. In August 2020 ''[[Politico]]'' reported,
{{quotebox|[[Coronavirus]] has turned the [[Democratic Party]]’s voter contact program, one operative said, into something more like a tech support operation than a traditional door-knocking effort.....[[Priorities USA]], the Democratic super PAC, is spending $24 million on voter mobilization, which includes vote-by-mail education. Fair Fight, a group founded by [[Stacey Abrams]], has rolled out voter protection programs in 17 states....
[[File:Ballots in dumpster.png|right|350px|thumb|Mail-in ballots were found inside of a dumpster and a Postal worker arrested; [[mainstream fake news media]] repeatedly claimed mail-in voting was secure.<ref>https://www.factcheck.org/2020/09/trumps-repeated-false-attacks-on-mail-in-ballots/</ref>]]
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump’s recent attacks on the USPS and on mail-voting is raising concern among voters, operatives say.

“We've seen such an increase from young people in terms of concern about their ballot casting,” said Jared DeLoof, the states director of [[NextGen America]], which targets younger voters. “They want to vote, they want to make sure that that vote is going to count.” [...]

Democrats believe they will also have to follow up with some voters after their ballot has been cast, in an effort to help them fix ballots that have been rejected for technical reasons. State rules vary widely on if or how voters can correct their ballots, and the time windows to do so can be short.

While Democratic campaigns and groups navigate the patchwork of state rules governing mail ballots to encourage turnout, Democratic election attorney Marc Elias is trying to change many of those rules.

This is the other half of the party’s vote-by-mail efforts: a sprawling legal effort that spans every battleground state and is costing tens of millions of dollars. Priorities USA, just one of Elias’ clients, has expanded its voting litigation budget to $32 million.
[[File:2020-11-04.jpg|left|300px|thumb|]]
“One of the features of vote by mail is that between the point that the voter cast the ballot and the point that the ballot is counted, several things have to go right,” Elias said in an interview. “One is that the ballot has to be received by the election officials in time. ... And the second is that the ballot needs to be verified and accepted.”

Elias, who was the lead attorney in former Sen. [[Al Franken]]’s (D-Minn.) 2008 recount victory and the general counsel for [[Hillary Clinton]] and [[John Kerry]]’s presidential campaigns, is pursuing what he calls “four pillars” of legal changes to election laws during coronavirus. The first, that mail ballots should include paid postage with them, has some cross-partisan support.

The other three do not, locking Elias in a wide-range legal fight with Republicans all over the country, including the Republican National Committee and its legal budget of at least $20 million. Those fights are over Elias’ push to mandate that states count ballots postmarked by Election Day but received after the fact; overhauling signature matching laws, which Elias derides as based on pseudoscience; and allowing for third parties to collect and turn in voters’ sealed absentee ballots, which Democrats call “community collection” and Republicans largely deride as “[[ballot harvesting]].”

“One thing you do is you make sure that people whose ballot is being challenged based on signature matching, that the people that are doing that have been trained, are applying uniform non-discriminatory standards. And most importantly, the voter is notified and has an opportunity to cure,” Elias said of his legal strategy. (A cure process mandates that a state contacts voters whose ballots have been rejected to give them the ability to fix — or cure — their ballot.)

Several Democratic-backed lawsuits have also pushed to expand who can cast absentee ballots. In 44 states, any voter can, at a minimum, request an absentee ballot if they choose to do so, and some states have changed that requirement as a response to the pandemic. [...]

Republicans argue that allowing for outside parties to collect and deliver ballots could lead to coercion or fraud. [...]

Depending on how close the races for the White House and battleground Senate seats are, "we could be headed for a ''[[Bush v. Gore]]'' situation in every battleground state, depending how close the results are."<ref>https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/21/democrats-vote-by-mail-plan-399671</ref>}}
The RNC and the Trump campaign pushed back against the Democrats’ assault on the integrity of elections. All across the country, Democrats tried to use coronavirus and the courts to legalize ballot harvesting, implement a nationwide mail-in ballot system, and eliminate nearly every safeguard in our elections.

One in five mail in ballots have been rejected in several 2020 elections. Nearly two-thirds (62%) say there is fraud in U.S. elections, and that fraud would concern them under Democrats’ nationwide mail-in ballot system. Americans overwhelmingly approve of the safeguards Democrats are suing to eliminate like signature matching (84%), voter identification (80%), and a ballot receipt deadline of election day (83%). Voters also oppose (67%) allowing campaign workers to collect mail-in ballots, also known as ballot harvesting.<ref>https://www.protectthevote.com/</ref>

===Identity politics===
[[File:No Communista Kamala.jpeg|right|350px|thumb|The [[Democrat]]s message was not well received by [[Latino]]s during the [[2020 Presidential election]].]]
Harris, who is running on a platform of [[identity politics]], criticized identity politics when Sen. Bernie Sanders attacked her and suggested that candidates should be evaluated on the basis of qualifications and ideas, not identity politics. {{quotebox-float|"They bring this term up when you talk about issues that are about [[race]], about sexual orientation, about [[religion]]. They’ll bring it up when we are talking about [[civil rights]] issues as a way to marginalize the issue, as a way to frankly try to silence you or shut you up. We need to call it what it is, which is to try and divert away from a conversation that needs to happen in America. Why? One, because we must speak truth. Racism, [[sexism]], [[homophobia]], [[transphobia]], [[anti-Semitism]] are all real in this country, so we need to have that conversation and address it. Two, and this is equally important, how America deals with the issues and the disparities, and also the [[hate]] that can be — that causes these issues to become lethal in proportion — how America deals with these issues is a matter of American identity. This is not about identity politics, and if it is, it’s about the identity of the United States of America. How we handle the issues will be about our [[collective]] identity.”}}

Despite her open attacks on Biden as a racist and a defender of segregation, Harris accepted Biden's offer to be on the Democratic ticket as the nominee for [[Vice President of the United States|Vice-President]] in the 2020 election. After the selection was announced on August 11, Harris issued a public statement completely at odds with her previous attitude towards Biden: "Joe Biden can unify the American people because he's spent his life fighting for us. And as President, he'll build an America that lives up to our ideals." In response, the Trump re-election campaign dubbed the two "Slow Joe and Phony Kamala."<ref>Caplan, Joshua (August 11, 2020).

====Jussie Smollett====

:{{See also|Hate crime hoax}}
Harris refused to walk back her claims in the Jussie Smollett case when Smollett was exposed as having paid for and staged a [[hate crime]] hoax to spark racial animosity. Harris alleged MAGA supporters had engaged in a "modern day lynching."<ref>https://theconservativetreehouse.files.wordpress.com/2019/02/kamala-harris-modern-day-lynching.jpg</ref>
[[File:Kamala and Jussie.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Kamala and Jussie. Kamala introduced legislation to make lynching a federal crime; Jussie allegedly faked his own lynching threat to draw attention to the bill.]]
According to [[Jussie Smollett]], he was out grabbing a sandwich at 2 am in 7 degrees temperature at a Subway sandwich shop in the Windy City when he was set upon by two white thugs. The attackers, wearing red baseball caps (the type of hat upon which MAGA hats portray their printed slogan to convey their political message) in uber-blue [[Chicago]], allegedly called him a "f****t", "n****r", and told him "This is MAGA country!" before punching him, kicking him, dousing him with bleach and putting a noose around his neck. Harris immediately tweeted that the attack was a "modern day lynching."

Kamala Harris sponsored an "anti-lynching bill" in the Senate in late December 2018 to make [[lynching]] a new federal crime. The bill had always previously stalled in the Senate, because it was seen as an unnecessary political gimmick, meant to remind people of historical black oppression in [[the South]]. Murdering people with a rope has always been a crime under state law. In the wake of Smollett's faked "noose assault" in Chicago on January 29, Harris's anti-lynching bill unanimously passed the Senate on February 14, 2019.<ref>[https://townhall.com/columnists/williammarshall/2019/02/19/jussie-smollett-a-case-study-in-modern-liberalism-n2541670 Jussie Smollett: A Case Study in Modern Liberalism], William Marshall, ''Townhall'', Feb 19, 2019</ref> Harris finally laid claim to a legislative accomplishment, though no matching bill has passed the House of Representatives.

Chicago Police determined that Jussie Smollett paid two Nigerian-American (i.e., black – not white) brothers, acquaintances $3,500 to "assault" Jussie in a rehearsed "attack." The brothers produced a receipt for purchase of the rope with money they got from Smollett, and later a video recording of them purchasing items used in the attack was located.

Smollett claims victim status in two groups: black and [[gay]]. [[Mainstream media]] bought the [[hoax]] hook-line-and-sinker. [[ABC News]]'s Robin Roberts of ''[[Good Morning America]]'' proved the most gullible (among dozens of others).<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXLx5OY21Bk</ref>

During a campaign event Kamala Harris was asked by an audience member (with a microphone): “what are you going to do in the next one year to diminish the mentally r*****ed action of this guy?” In response to the question a laughing Senator Harris replied: “Well said. Well said.”<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0Sx57OYT_M&feature=youtu.be</ref> When called out for her insensitive comments and bigotry, Harris later denied the R-word was used in the exchange.

===Women's rights and sex crimes===
During an interview with the ''San Francisco Chronicle'' in April 2020, Harris said in reference to [[Tara Reade]],
[[File:Tarareade2.png|right|300px|thumb|Biden and Tara Reade. Beginning in 1993 Reade made credible allegations about being assaulted and penetrated by Joe Biden and was hounded out of her job in his Senate office in retaliation for doing so.<ref>https://www.lifenews.com/2020/05/12/poll-bidens-support-among-women-drops-after-tara-reades-sexual-assault-allegations/</ref>]]
{{quotebox-float|“Listen, this woman has a right to tell her story, and I believe that, and I believe Joe Biden believes that, too.

Reade told ''Newsbusters,
{{quotebox-float|“Journalists should be asking her pointedly why there was a smear campaign on me and why Kamala was so aggressive and assertive with [[Kavanaugh smear|[then-Supreme Court nominee Brett] Kavanaugh]] and here she knows there is a credible sexual assault accusation against Senator Biden...I don’t care if [[oligarch]]es or celebrities are supporting him. What is more important to me is sexual assault survivors are allowed to come forward and have their stories told. By coming out, I lost a lot. But I don’t regret it....To approach sexual violence as a partisan issue is not only dismissive to the survivors and dangerous to the victims. It is the reason why survivors are afraid to come forward,” Reade said. “The Democratic Party has become an enabler to sexual predators.”}}
Reade asked if Harris will “ignore it out of a will for power” or “will she hold Biden accountable? Will she be silent?”<ref>https://saraacarter.com/tara-reade-demands-media-question-harris-about-biden-allegations/</ref>

====Protected a known sexual predator on staff for 14 years====
[[File:Harris El Paso Dayton.jpg|right|220px|thumb|Harris sent out a fundraising email after the [[Dayton nightclub shooting|Dayton nightclub]] and [[El Paso Walmart shooting]]s. The Dayton shooter was a member of [[Antifa]] and the Walmart shooter was a [[socialist]] who feared legal immigration was slowing down adoption of a [[universal basic income]]. The fundraising letter was sent out before the [[Leftwing violence in the Trump era|31 victims of leftist violence]] were buried.]]
A longtime top staff member of Harris resigned after ''The Sacramento Bee'' inquired about a $400,000 harassment and retaliation settlement resulting from his time working for Harris at the California Department of Justice.<ref>https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article223053155.html</ref>

Larry Wallace, who served as the director of the Division of Law Enforcement under Attorney General Harris, was accused by his former executive assistant in December 2016 of “gender harassment” and other demeaning behavior, including frequently asking her to crawl under his desk to change the paper in his printer.

The lawsuit was filed on Dec. 30, 2016, when Harris was still attorney general but preparing to be sworn in as California's newly elected Democratic senator. It was settled less than five months later, in May 2017, by [[Xavier Becerra]], who was appointed to replace her as attorney general.

Harris, who has known Wallace for 14 years, then hired him in March 2017 as a senior adviser in her Sacramento U.S. Senate constituent services office.

A misconduct claim naming Wallace arrived at the California Department of Justice three months before Harris left the attorney general's office in early 2017. An intake form from the Equal Employment Rights and Resolution Office, which oversees discrimination investigations and compliance at the Department of Justice, shows that the department was first notified on Oct. 3, 2016, of Danielle Hartley's intent to pursue legal action.<ref>https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/272256/senator-kamala-harris-aide-sexual-harassment-claim-daniel-greenfield</ref>

Wallace resigned 6 weeks before Harris announced her candidacy for president.<ref>https://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/sen-kamala-harris-aide-resigns-400000-sexual-harassment-settlement-emerges</ref>

According to the ''Los Angeles Times'', the amount of money paid out to settle sexual harassment claims during Harris' tenure as California Attorney General was nearly three times more than previously reported. Total sexual harassment claims between 2011 and 2017 were $1.1 million, including several payments to men who apparently were victims of [[homosexual]] harassers at work in the states highest law enforcement bureau.<ref>https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-kamala-harris-attorney-general-settlements-20190301-story.html</ref>

====Bob Filner====
Harris drew considerable criticism in 2013 for allowing [[San Diego]] mayor and former Democrat congressman [[Bob Filner]] to plead guilty to charges of false imprisonment and battery against three women in exchange for a light sentence. 20 women accused Filner of sexual harassment and misconduct. Some said he put them in “Filner headlocks.” Filner could have faced up to five years in prison, but the plea bargain instead gave him three months of house arrest, three years' probation, and partial loss of his mayoral pension. The plea deal let him escape registering as a sex offender. Filner was allowed to keep his [[civil service system]] pension.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/plea-deal-by-kamala-harris-ag-office-for-sexual-harassing-san-diego-mayor-was-too-lenient-critics-say</ref>

====No equal pay ever in her office====
Harris has never practiced gender pay equity with either her Senate staff or her presidential campaign.

In her Senate office's most recent six-month disclosure, covering the period from April 1, 2018, through Sept. 31, 2018, the median male salary disbursement was $34,999 and the median female salary disbursement was $32,999, leaving women with just 94 cents of every dollar paid to men.

The gender pay gap for the previous six-month period, during which the median male salary was $27,167 and the median female salary was $25,749.97, was a nearly identical 6 percent.

The pay gap was even greater during the first full month of Harris's presidential campaign in February—the median female salary disbursement for the month, $5,763.97, was about 87 percent of the median male salary disbursement, $6,632.23, a further analysis of her campaign filing found.<ref>https://freebeacon.com/politics/men-paid-more-than-women-in-kamala-harriss-senate-office-and-campaign/</ref>

DLA Piper, a multinational law firm, boasts nearly 30 years of experience in China and over 140 lawyers dedicated to its “China Investment Services” branch. Harris’s links to the company are found with her husband, Douglas Emhoff, who has served as a Partner in the firm’s Intellectual Property and Technology practice and its Media, Sport, and Entertainment sector since 2017. DLA Piper boasts of having “long-established and embedded “China Desks” in both the U.S. and Europe” to assist their China-focused consulting.

To facilitate DLA Piper’s China practice – which has received countless prestigious awards from the China Business Law Journal and China Law and Practice – the company employs a host of former Chinese Communist Party officials. The hires serve to bolster DLA Piper’s China operation, which it outlines as necessitating “liaising with the central and local authorities” in China.

The company listed itself as an adviser to two government-owned airlines: China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines. DLA Piper has also advised China Merchants Group (CMG), a state-owned company “under the direct supervision” of the Chinese Communist Party’s State Council, on a $2.5 billion tech deal. CMG also identifies itself as a “crucial participant and promoter of the national initiative of the [[Belt and Road]],” the Chinese Communist Party’s scheme to expand its economic and political control across the developing world.

The firm has also advised Huarong Investment Stock Corporation Limited, a subsidiary of one of China’s largest state-owned bad debt managers, and China National Gold Group, a state-owned mining and refining company. Tencent, the host of the WeChat app which is set to banned by the [[Trump administration]] for its compromising links to the Chinese Communist Party's human rights abuses, partnered with DLA Piper on a $230 million deal with the Chinese tech giant’s food delivery app known as Miss Fresh. The Cohen Group, a consulting firm started by former Secretary of Defense and Joe Biden endorser [[William Cohen]], has a self-described “strong strategic partnership with DLA Piper.”<ref>https://thenationalpulse.com/politics/harris-husband-ccp/</ref>

===Marxist uprising===

Kamala Harris praised the 'brilliance' and impact of the Black Lives Matter organization, deeming them necessary,<ref>https://nypost.com/2020/09/26/kamala-harris-blasted-for-praising-blm-as-essential-and-brilliant-amid-violence/</ref> which led some on [[social media]] to slam her as [[insane]].

{{quotebox-float|"I always am going to interpret these protests as an essential component of [[evolution]] in our country."}}
Harris never condemned the [[violence]] at rallies held in the organization's name in cities across the country, nor the shooting of two police officers in [[Louisville]]. Critics slammed her support for the organization whose co-founder described herself as a 'trained Marxist' in 2015. Many suggested she was supporting riots, violence, and intimidation. [[GOP]] operative Arthur Schwartz posted a clip of her interview with the comment"
{{quotebox-float|"Unmoved by the violence in our streets, in the brutal attacks on our police officers, Kamala Harris says the protests are 'essential' for our 'evolution' as a country."}}
Others on [[Twitter]] slammed Harris as 'insane' and said she should ask the business owners whose shops have been destroyed
if they feel 'evolved'. Daniel Babinski tweeted,
{{quotebox-float|"I'd like to publicly thank Kamala Harris for telling Americans that the protests, aka riots, need to continue and hold her personally responsible for the violence and the medical bills, and yes, the deaths, too....I lay this at the feet of Congressional Democrats.}}
[[Robby Starbuck]] tweeted,
{{quotebox-float|"Voters should remember her comments when you see cities on fire and people attacked."}}

==="Keep your hands off our Medicare"===
On August 30, 2017, Harris announced that she would co-sponsor Sen.

Harris' so-called "healthcare plan" places a balloon payment on Americans' healthcare, i.e. "kicks the can down the road" past the next election to solve the "crisis" in this years election cycle.

While campaigning Harris encountered a senior voter. The elder woman asked "you are advocating health care for everyone … who's going to pay for it?" Harris said, "Well, we're going to pay for it" The woman responded, "No we're not. Leave our health care system alone. We don't want you to mess with it."<ref>https://twitter.com/RealSaavedra/status/1161010740821577728</ref>

===Crime===
Harris uses the [[code words]] "[[reimagining police]]" for [[defunding the police]].
====Biden Crime Bill====
Harris openly criticized [[Joe Biden]], who authored the 1994 Crime Bill. Harris said the bill contributed to "mass incarceration in our country," established the "federal three strikes law," and "funded the building of more prisons in the states." Harris' brother-in-law, Tony West,<ref>https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/attorney-general-eric-holder-welcomes-assistant-attorneys-general-antitrust-civil-and</ref> along with [[Joe Biden]], helped author the 1994 Crime Bill that incarcerated 2.5 million Blacks, one-tenth of the Black male population.<ref>https://www.phillytrib.com/commentary/biden-accountable-for-bad-crime-bill/article_a48d5523-61d0-5123-bd7f-cc010883c4cf.html</ref>

====Marijuana====
In the Second Debate, Harris was called for joking about her smoking marijuana while having locked up over 1,500 people for the same crime. The ''Washington Free Beacon''' later issued a correction of its finding that Harris had locked up at least 1,560 people for marijuana-related offenses. According to California's Department of Corrections, the figure now is at least 1,974 were admitted to prison under Harris for marijuana offenses.<ref>https://freebeacon.com/politics/correction-kamala-locked-up-more-people-for-weed-than-we-thought/</ref>

====Prisoners voting====
Harris is for convicted murderers, rapists, child molesters, drug dealers and terrorists to vote while in prison.<ref>https://thepoliticalinsider.com/bernie-sanders-kamala-harris-want-to-give-terrorists-the-right-to-vote/</ref>

===Education===
Harris claims {{quotebox|"the schools of America are as segregated if not more segregated today than they were when I was in elementary school. And we need to put every effort including busing into play to desegregate the schools.”<ref>https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-06-30/harris-stands-by-decision-to-speak-the-truth-on-race-matters</ref>}} On federally mandated busing, she replied: “I believe that any tool that is in the toolbox should be considered by a school district.”<ref>https://apnews.com/586b1e81cb684654b0cf689b9074c1cb</ref> Harris’ old Berkeley school district has today, despite its high level of integration, the worst test-score racial gap in the United States, with its median black student testing at only the fifth percentile of its white students.<ref>https://www.takimag.com/article/san-francisco-vs-frisco/#.XR6_Cs8PAv4.twitter</ref>

A vast database at Stanford's Center for Education Policy Analysis demonstrates that the biggest racial divides in school achievement are found in highly [[liberal]] districts. Blacks students achieve less in school in highly Democratic places, whether poor or rich. Anechoic Media's analysis of the Stanford database found that: {{quotebox|Black students in counties that voted Trump significantly overperform their socioeconomic status baseline. Going from a strong blue county, to a strong red county increases expected district black NAEP score by an effect roughly similar to a ~3.17 percentage point reduction in black poverty.<ref>https://twitter.com/AnechoicMedia_/status/1145209471502888960</ref>}}

===Housing===
Harris boasts, "as attorney general of California, I took on the big banks who preyed on the homeowners." Harris and several other state attorneys general negotiated a $25 billion nationwide settlement with five of the top U.S. mortgage lenders to provide debt relief and other financial services to struggling homeowners. But in 2012 then-California Gov. [[Jerry Brown]] illegally diverted $331 million from California's portion of the settlement to pay off state budget deficits incurred before the 2008 housing crisis. The beleaguered homeowners never got he funds.

Harris remained silent on the court battles raging since 2014 as attorney general, Senator and presidential candidate.
:''“She’s running for president of the United States, saying she took on the big banks and looked out for the little guys – this has become a platform for her -- and she won’t even meet with us or deal with us,”'' Faith Bautista, president and chief executive of the National Asian American Coalition, or NAAC, told RealClearPolitics.<ref>[https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2019/08/14/harris_silence_on_diverted_funds_rankles_housing_advocates_141005.html?utm_source=rcp-today&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=mailchimp-newsletter Harris' Silence on Diverted Funds Rankles Housing Advocates], Susan Crabtree, RCP, August 14, 2019.</ref>

California courts deemed the diversion of funds illegal three times already. Gov. [[Gavin Newsom]] has not complied with court orders, and Sen. Harris remained silent.

===Reparations===
Harris originally opposed slave reparations and in its place offered a tax credit for all families earning under $100,000.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwq41Sm0QZE</ref> Harris moved toward reparations as the Democrats' strategy of promoting and emphasizing racial divisiveness in the 2020 elections took shape.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/21/us/politics/2020-democrats-race-policy.html</ref><ref>https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/430999-warren-harris-back-reparations-for-black-americans-affected-by-slavery</ref> Harris has not elaborated on whether the descendants of people who did not own slaves such as [[Native American]]s, [[Republican]]s, [[Italian]]s, [[Polish|Pole]]s, [[Jew]]s, [[Hispanic]]s and other [[ethnic group]]s that migrated to the United States after the [[American Civil War]] would be granted an exemption from paying reparations, or if Americans such as [[Barack Obama]] and herself, who have no ancestry connected to North American slaves, would qualify.

Harris is 50% South Asian (India), 25% African, and 25% [[Irish]]. Under Harris' reparations proposal, if it were based on any notion of justice, she would be exempt; her mother immigrated from India and her father from Jamaica. Even if an argument could be made that she were entitled to reparations based on her father's African heritage, it would be cancelled out by her father's other one-half Irish heritage. At best she'd be entitled to one-half the standard benefit, of which she'd be liable to pay to herself (plus administrative overheard costs).

===War on Cow Farts===

As her campaign faltered in the polls yet with still much cash on hand, Harris made desperate appeals to [[hate]] and [[racism]] trying to keep it afloat.

===Staff===
The Harris campaign announced on January 21, 2019 that DNC election lawyer [[Marc Elias]], will be the general counsel; Lily Adams, Clinton's Iowa communications director and daughter of former [[Planned Parenthood]] president Cecile Richards, will be its national communications director; Angelique Cannon, Clinton's deputy national finance director and national finance director for Senate Majority PAC, will be its national finance director; and David Huynh, Clinton's director of delegate operations and ballot access, will be its senior adviser.

As of 2019, Elias is general counsel for the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, a group led by former Attorney General [[Eric Holder]], who is actively considering his own run for president.

Harris began stacking her Washington, D.C. congressional office with former [[Hillary Clinton]] campaign veterans almost immediately after making her way to Capitol Hill.

In addition to Lily Adams, who was top press aide in the D.C. office, Harris brought in Sergio Gonzales as senior policy adviser. Gonzales was a regional director for [[Hillary for America]].

Kate Waters, who worked as the deputy press secretary for Clinton's campaign during the Iowa caucus and as press secretary during the [[West Virginia]] primary, Iowa primary, and [[Nebraska]] caucus, was brought in as press secretary early in Harris's tenure, among other Clinton vets.

In July 2017 Harris's Senate campaign was renting office space from a small travel agency on Capitol Hill just a few minutes away from the Capitol and congressional offices. Harris's campaign never answered inquiries on why they were renting the office space 2,800 miles away from her home state.

As Harris tapped Clinton campaign vets to her D.C. office—and now presidential campaign—she has used progressive public relations firms to project her message.

Harris's presidential campaign's digital arm is run by Authentic Campaigns, a D.C.-based full-service digital strategy company that was founded by Mike Nellis, former vice president of campaigns of Revolution Messaging LLC. Revolution Messaging was considered instrumental in propelling Sen. [[Bernie Sanders]]'s candidacy against Clinton during the 2016 elections. Harris has already paid Authentic Campaigns and Revolution Messaging millions of dollars from her Senate campaign committee for advertising and consulting services since entering Congress.<ref>[https://freebeacon.com/politics/kamala-harris-stacks-presidential-campaign-with-hillary-clinton-alums/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=fb5b59762f-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_01_22_10_12_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-fb5b59762f-45956325 Kamala Harris Stacks Presidential Campaign With Hillary Clinton Alums], BY: Brent Scher and Joe Schoffstall, ''Washington Free Beacon,'', January 22, 2019 1:55 pm</ref>

===Fundraising===
Harris gained the financial backing of [[Marxist]] and [[socialist]] supporters of [[Bernie Sanders]] early as a 2020 [[Democratic party]] hopeful.<ref>https://medium.com/voices/kamala-harris-has-a-hamptons-problem-b6583cf29d41</ref><ref>https://www.opensecrets.org/members-of-congress/summary?cid=N00036915</ref> When she made her announcement in January 2019, she broke Sanders 24 hour record for fundraising.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/kamala-harris-ties-bernie-sanders-24-hour-fundraising-record</ref> She is the recipient of tens of thousands of dollars from elite Hollywood liberal donors arrested in the College Admissions scandal.<ref>https://freebeacon.com/politics/democratic-donors-charged-in-college-admissions-scam/</ref>

====Shomik Dutta and the 1MDB scandal====
[[File:Kamal dutta.jpg|right|300px]]
From 2011 – 2012 Shomik Dutta served as the National Finance Consultant to President Obama's re-election campaign. In 2013 he became Managing Director of DuSable Capital Management, founded by [[Frank R. White, Jr.]], Vice-Chair of Obama's 2012 re-election campaign.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20160722205357/http://www.dusablecapital.com/our-team/</ref> DuSable had only one client, 1Malaysian Development Berhad (1MDB), whose global network of conspirators face indictment in the United States for [[money laundering]] in what the Justice Department calls the "largest single action ever brought by the department’s Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative" (''kleptocracy'' is defined as a government of thieves).<ref>https://www.justice.gov/opa/speech/attorney-general-loretta-e-lynch-delivers-remarks-press-conference-announcing-significant</ref> 1MDB was wholly owned by the Malaysian government's Ministry of Finance, and cut a deal on paper to partner with DuSable in green technology and a photovoltaic electric power plant. DuSable, through a [[front group]] called Yurus, sold it's 49% share ''which it had invested no money in'',<ref>"The crucial evidence from the records available (illustrated above) shows that the Private Equity fund Yurus, set up by White, registered the entire US$69 million it received from 1MDB as additional profit, implying it had not invested any of its original US$505 million fund in the venture."

Some of the proceeds of the $69 million sale ended up as foreign [[dark money]] contributions to Democratic candidates.

Overall, 1MDB embezzled $4.5 Billion from the [[poverty|impoverish]]ed people of [[Malaysia]] in possibly the largest [[globalism|globalist]] investment scam to date.<ref>[https://www.wsj.com/articles/suspect-malaysian-fund-tied-to-lobbying-of-white-house-1476403764 Malaysian Fund 1MDB Linked to White House Visit], By Bradley Hope and Colleen McCain Nelson, ''Wall Street Journal'', Oct. 13, 2016.</ref>

In March 2019, a $2800-a-plate fundraiser was held by the Malibu Democrat Club in a private residence with Shomik Dutta as a featured guest. The event notice was taken down from the Malibu Democrat Club after inquires were made to the Harris campaign if Harris was aware of DuSable and Dhutta's involvement in a global money laundering scandal.<ref>https://statuscoup.com/does-kamala-harris-fundraiser-cohost-connection-global-money-laundering-scandal/</ref>

===Endorsements===
The Harris campaign proudly announced an endorsement from Democratic Rep. [[Alcee Hastings]] (Fla.), who was at the center of a $220,000 taxpayer-funded sexual harassment settlement. The $220,000 sexual harassment settlement was paid in 2014. ''Roll Call'' obtained documents showing a former staffer said Hastings "touched her, made unwanted sexual advances, and threatened her job." Hastings also employed a convicted [[money laundering|money launderer]], is paying his girlfriend the maximum congressional salary, and is known as one of the top ethics violators in Congress. While on the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Hastings was charged with soliciting a $150,000 bribe from undercover FBI officers. Hastings was acquitted after his alleged conspirator refused to testify despite a promise of immunity, but he was instead successfully [[impeach]]ed by a Democrat-controlled Congress. Harris said she is proud to have Hasting's endorsement.

Harris was endorsed by Rep. [[Al Green]] (D., Texas), who was made Texas co-chairman of her campaign and has also been accused of [[sexual harassment]] by a staffer.

Harris's husband headlined a fundraiser by the law firm that defended [[Jeffrey Epstein]] hours before Harris criticized the firm for defending Epstein.<ref>https://freebeacon.com/uncategorized/kamala-harris-criticized-epsteins-law-firm-while-her-campaign-fundraised-off-it/</ref>

Harris began her career in politics at the age of 29 by having an extra-marital affair with the corrupt 60-year-old California politician [[Willie Brown]].<ref>https://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Sure-I-dated-Kamala-Harris-So-what-13562972.php?t=c1bc437ba8</ref> As [[San Francisco]] mayor, when they were having their affair, Brown was dogged by conflict of interest accusations, and as speaker of the California Assembly was investigated by the [[FBI]]. When the tryst began, she was a low level clerk in a city office of Mayor Brown's political machine.<ref>http://www.citireport.com/2012/04/inside-the-willie-l-brown-money-machine/</ref> Mayor Brown gave her a brand new 1994 [[BMW]].

During her first bid for electoral office as [[district attorney]] of [[San Francisco]] in 2003, which Speaker Brown assisted by raising money and introducing her to deep-pocketed donors, she excused the gift of a brand new BMW away, telling reporters she traded it in for a 1997 BMW which she then drove.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20170805043948/http://www.sfweekly.com/news/kamalas-karma/</ref> After dumping Harris, having a child with a lobbyist he awarded a multi-milliondollar contract to, and divorcing his wife, 84 year old Willie Brown took up with [[Russia]]n model Sonya Molodetskaya.<ref>https://heavy.com/news/2019/01/sonya-molodetskaya-willie-brown-partner/</ref>

{{quotebox-float|"Jones could be counted on to deliver busloads of obedient, well-dressed disciples to demonstrations, campaign rallies, and political precincts. The city’s liberal Burton machine — run by congressional powerhouse Phil Burton — quickly identified the Peoples Temple juggernaut as a potentially game-changing ally in its long battle to take over city hall. “It was Burton ally Willie Brown – a rising force in California’s state capital — who first recognized that Jones’s organization could play a pivotal role in his friend [[George Moscone]]’s run for mayor…. “In the December runoff between Moscone and [conservative Republican John] Barbagelata, [[Peoples Temple]] went even further to secure victory for its candidate. On the eve of the election, Jones filled buses with temple members in Redwood Valley and [[Los Angeles]] and shuttled them to San Francisco. Security at polling places was lax on Election Day, and many nonresidents were able to cast their ballots for Moscone, some more than once. ‘You could have run around to 1200 precincts and voted 1200 times,’ said a bitter Barbagelata later, after losing by a whisper of a margin. But he was not the only one who claimed that the Peoples Temple stole the election for George Moscone. Temple leaders also claimed credit. “Moscone at first tried to appease him with a harmless post on the human rights commission. But the temple leader insisted on a position that had more clout, and the mayor decided he was in no position to alienate Jones. In October 1976 Moscone announced that he was naming Jones to the San Francisco Housing Authority, which oversees the operation of the city’s public housing. The agency, the largest landlord in the city, was a notorious maze of corruption, and it provided Jones’s organization with ample opportunity for shady self-dealing."<ref>''[https://www.salon.com/2012/05/01/jim_jones_sinister_grip_on_san_francisco/ Jim Jones' sinister grip on San Francisco:] How the Peoples Temple cult leader ensnared Harvey Milk and other progressive icons, David Talbot, ''[[Slate]]'', May 1, 2012.</ref>}} And [[Harvey Milk]], later assassinated with Moscone:

===San Francisco district attorney===
Harris was elected San Francisco District Attorney in 2003.

In April 2004, San Francisco Police Department Officer Isaac Espinoza was shot and killed in the line of duty. Three days later, Harris announced she would not seek the [[death penalty]], infuriating the San Francisco Police Officers Association. During Officer Espinoza's funeral Sen. [[Dianne Feinstein]] rose to the pulpit and called on Harris, who was sitting in the front pew, to secure the death penalty, prompting a standing ovation from the 2,000 uniformed police officers in attendance. Harris still refused. Officer Espinoza's killer was convicted of the murder and sentenced to life in prison.<ref>{{cite news | last = Bazelon | first = Emily | title = Kamala Harris, a ‘Top Cop’ in the era of Black Lives Matter | url = https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/29/magazine/kamala-harris-a-top-cop-in-the-era-of-black-lives-matter.html?_r=0 | work = The New York Times Magazine | date = May 25, 2016}}</ref>

Harris said, {{quotebox|“I think it’s completely ridiculous, just in case there’s any ambiguity about my position. It would put a welcome mat out for pimps and prostitutes to come on into San Francisco.”}} Harris argued prostitution exposes girls and women to drug, gun and sexual crimes, and “compromises the quality of life in a community.” Harris noted that 65 percent of cases handled by her department's sexual assault unit involved sex workers as victims.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/01/us/01prostitute.html?_r=0</ref>

===Prison overcrowding===
After the [[United States Supreme Court]] in ''Brown v. Plata'' (2011) declared California's prisons so overcrowded they violated prisoners' [[Eighth Amendment]] right against [[cruel and unusual punishment]], Harris fought federal court supervision. When California failed to fully implement the court's order to reduce overcrowding, and was ordered to implement new parole programs, the State of California appealed the decision, and in court filings Harris's office argued that if forced to release these inmates early, prisons would lose an important source of [[slave]] labor.<ref>{{cite news|last1=St. John|first1=Paige|title=Federal judges order California to expand prison releases|url=https://www.latimes.com/local/political/la-me-ff-federal-judges-order-state-to-release-more-prisoners-20141114-story.html|access-date=October 12, 2017|work=Los Angeles Times|date=November 14, 2014}}</ref> Prisoners in California earn between 8 and 37 cents per hour in maintenance and kitchen jobs; prisoners fighting [[California wildfires]] receive $1 per hour.<ref>Annika Neklason, [https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/12/how-much-longer-will-inmates-fight-californias-wildfires/547628/ California Is Running Out of Inmates to Fight Its Fires], ''The Atlantic'' (December 7, 2017).</ref>

===Direct democracy===
In 2008 the people of California passed [[Proposition 8]], the state's [[referendum]] on [[same-sex marriage]] by an overwhelming popular vote. Harris refused to defend the Proposition 8 in court. The decision was significant. In 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that proponents of the measure did not have the legal standing to defend Proposition 8 on appeal after Harris refused to do so. The case was dismissed by the U.S. Supreme Court, removing the ban on same-sex marriage in California.<ref>https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-senate-harris-milestones-20160706-snap-htmlstory.html</ref> These actions were a blow to direct [[democracy]].<ref>https://www.ocregister.com/2013/06/26/editorial-prop-8-ruling-blow-to-direct-democracy/</ref>

===Inmate sex change operations===
:{{Main article|Transgenderism}}
In 2015 a male inmate of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation was paroled early. The inmate had sued the state in federal court claiming he was being denied a [[sex change operation]]. The court ordered the state to provide the inmate with the requested medical services. Harris represented the Department of Corrections and appealed the decision. The [[Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals]] opined the inmate was released early while the case was on appeal to render the case [[moot]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://story.californiasunday.com/michelle-lael-norsworthy-sex-reassignment-prison|title=Michelle's Case|date=May 17, 2016|work=The California Sunday Magazine|author=Brown, Annie|accessdate=}}</ref>

===Three Strikes Law===
Daniel Larsen, found innocent by a federal judge, had been in prison for 13 years. In 1999, when two police officers claimed they saw Larsen, who had earlier in his life been convicted for burglary, pull a six-inch-long knife from his waistband and throw it under a car, he was sentenced to twenty-seven years to life under the three-strikes law supported by Harris.

Police wrongly targeted Larsen in the first place, and witnesses reported that it wasn't Larsen but the man he was with who had thrown the knife. In trial, Larsen's incompetent lawyer (who would later be disbarred) didn't investigate a single witness, nor present one in trial.

Eleven years later, a judge reversed the conviction due to the lack of evidence and incompetence of Larson's attorney's. Yet two years later, Larsen was still in jail. Harris appealed the decision on the basis that Larsen had filed his paperwork too late.<ref>https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/20/daniel-larsen-innocent-federal-judge-prison-13-years_n_1813819.html</ref>

Tens of thousands of people petitioned Harris to release Larsen, and numerous civil rights groups similarly called on her to do the right thing. But even when he was eventually released from custody after fourteen years, Harris challenged his release, and five months later Larsen was back in court, fighting to stay out of prison for a crime he didn't commit.

===Foreclosure crisis===
:{{See also|Financial Crisis of 2008}}
When Harris took office in 2011, California was still reeling from the effects of the subprime mortgage crisis. In 2012, she participated in the National Mortgage Settlement against five banks, securing for homeowners weighed down by average debt of close to $65,000 each — around $1,500 to $2,000 each. One called it “a slap in the face for a lot of us.”<ref>https://www.scpr.org/news/2016/05/27/61049/california-foreclosures-ripple-even-after-major-se/</ref> Under the deal, loans owned by [[Fannie Mae]] and [[Freddie Mac]] didn't qualify for the debt relief. Given they were the country's biggest [[mortgage]] holders, this meant even fewer homeowners stood to benefit from the deal. Only 84,102 California families had any mortgage debt forgiven — far short of the 250,000 originally predicted.

Writing in the ''[[LA Times]]'', Michael Hiltzik savaged the deal and what he called the “rosy self-congratulation” that followed it, particularly the new foreclosure standards it imposed, which he called a “big whoop.” “The provisions mostly require mortgage lenders and servicers to comply with what I would have thought was already the law, which prohibits, you know, criminal fraud,” he wrote.<ref>http://articles.latimes.com/2012/feb/11/business/la-fi-hiltzik-20120212</ref>

Harris opened her Mortgage Fraud Strike Force to much fanfare in 2011. It employed twenty-five Department of Justice lawyers and investigators with a budget of more than $2 million to go after foreclosure fraud. The strike force managed to prosecute just ten cases in three years, an ''East Bay Express'' investigation in 2014 found.<ref>https://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/the-strike-force-that-never-struck/Content?oid=3933743&showFullText=true</ref>

The paper found that not only had the strike force prosecuted less foreclosure fraud cases than many other states, but it had filed fewer lawsuits than attorneys general in smaller states with fewer victims, and even fewer than some county district attorneys. Yet California led the country in terms of such scam operations, with many thousands of complaints since 2010. One housing rights activist who had lost his home in a fraud called the strike force a “public relations effort.”

''The Intercept'' obtained a 2013 memo to Harris from prosecutors in the attorney general's office saying they had “uncovered evidence suggestive of widespread misconduct” at OneWest bank, and urging Harris to “conduct a full investigation of a national bank’s misconduct and provide a public accounting of what happened.”<ref>{{cite web|url=https://theintercept.com/2017/01/03/treasury-nominee-steve-mnuchins-bank-accused-of-widespread-misconduct-in-leaked-memo/|title=Treasury Nominee Steve Mnuchin's Bank Accused of "Widespread Misconduct" in Leaked Memo|author=David Dayen|website=The Intercept}}</ref> Yet Harris never did.

===Refused to investigate police sex trafficing ring===
An underage sex-trafficking scandal implicated dozens of police officers and other local authorities throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. [[Oakland]] went through two police chiefs trying to address it, with a third doing only questionably better. People were pleading for Harris's office to step in and oversee an independent investigation,<ref>https://www.change.org/p/kamala-harris-demand-an-investigation-of-the-bay-area-police-sex-scandal</ref> since local governments seemed more motivated to quash a public relations nightmare than punish public officials. Harris and her office refused to intervene.<ref>https://reason.com/blog/2018/01/11/the-performative-feminism-of-kamala-h</ref>

===Prosecutorial misconduct===
In 2015, Harris defended convictions obtained by county prosecutors who had inserted a false confession into an interrogation transcript, committed perjury, and withheld evidence. Federal appeals court threw out the convictions, telling Harris's lawyers, "Talk to the [[attorney general]] and make sure she understands the gravity of the situation."

Harris appealed the dismissal of an indictment when it was discovered a Kern County prosecutor perjured in submitting a falsified confession as court evidence. Harris asserted that prosecutorial perjury was not sufficient to demonstrate prosecutorial misconduct.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.courtlistener.com/opinion/2781830/people-v-velasco-palacios-ca5/|title=People v.

===Religious discrimination===
A [[Sikh]] man was barred from working as a prison guard because of his [[religious]]ly mandated beard. Harris argued that his beard prevented him from being properly fitted with a gas mask, thus disqualifying him from the job, despite California's corrections and rehabilitation department's regulations allowing guards to have beards for certain medical reasons. A number of [[civil rights]] and legal organizations wrote Harris a letter pointing out this inconsistency. She argued that the medical exemption only applied to guards who passed the mask fitting before the policy took effect, although the man's attorney said this was untrue.<ref>https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sdut-calif-sikh-barred-from-job-over-beard-settles-2011oct27-story.html</ref>

==U.S. Senate==
Harris was elected to the [[Senate]] in 2016. She serves on the Senate Committee on the Budget, Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, [[Senate Select Committee on Intelligence|Select Committee on Intelligence]] and Committee on the Judiciary.

In the Senate Harris has earned a reputation for her rudeness and [[bullying]]. Harris was the very first Democratic operative to initiate the orchestrated disruptions of the Kavanaugh Hearings. During the hearings she referred to a pocket-sized version of the [[U.S. Constitution]] as "that book you carry" while addressing another Senator.<ref>Caplan, Joshua (September 7, 2018).

=== Taxes ===
Harris opposed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 which has spawned the current recovery,<ref>https://www.conservativereview.com/news/the-tax-cut-economy-is-booming-but-kamala-harris-wants-tax-hikes-and-welfare/</ref> and has proposed her own set of alternative [[socialist]] tax increases.<ref>https://www.sacbee.com/opinion/editorials/article220495795.html</ref>

===Democratic Socialism===
In early 2013, mainly [[Democratic Socialists of America]] aligned activists, together with many elected officials across the United States came together to urge President Obama to award posthumously the [[Presidential Medal of Freedom]] to the legendary organizer, Fred Ross, Sr. The [[Saul Alinsky]] trained radical was the first to organize people through house meetings, a mentor to both [[Cesar Chavez]] and [[DSA]]er [[Dolores Huerta]], and a pioneer in Latino voter outreach since 1949 when he helped elect [[Communist Party USA]] affiliate Ed Roybal<ref>DSA organizer Peter Dreier wrote in ''[[HuffPo]]'', [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/peter-dreier/from-organizer-to-elected_b_124971.html From Organizer To Elected Official], September 8, 2008.</ref> as Los Angeles's first Latino council member, "Ross’ influence on social change movements remains strong two decades after his death in 1992".

Endorsers of the proposal included Kamala Harris.<ref>[http://quartz.he.net/~beyondch/news/nucleus/plugins/print/print.php?itemid=11057 Momentum Builds for Honoring Legendary Organizer Fred Ross], by Randy Shaw, 2013-03-05</ref>

===Kavanaugh smear===
:{{See also|Kavanaugh smear}}
Staff members for Sen. Harris submitted an undated handwritten letter to committee investigators that her California office had received signed under the alias “Jane Doe from Oceanside, California.” Three days before Kavanaugh's confirmation vote, Judy Munro-Leighton wrote an email to the committee claiming, “I am Jane Doe from Oceanside CA — Kavanaugh raped me.”''

Under questioning, Munro-Leighton admitted she was a [[left-wing]] [[activist]] who never met Kavanaugh. After Kavanaugh's confirmation, the Senate Judiciary Committee referred her to the DOJ and FBI for criminal [[prosecution]] because she lied to Congress.<ref>Multiple references:

==Family==
[[File:Donald Trump with Snoop Dogg.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Donald Trump keepin' it real with Snoop Dogg. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris claimed she used to listen to Snoop Dogg when she was in college (during the 1980s). Snoop Dogg hadn't released his first album until 1993.]]
Harris is a child of privilege. She was born in [[Oakland]] in 1964. Her father is from [[Jamaica]] and her mother from [[India]]. Her father, who is of mixed race, is a descendant of Jamaican plantation slave owners. She has less than half African ancestry. Her mother is from the rich class of [[India]]'s [[caste]] system. Both were research scientists at the University of California at Berkeley. She grew up in a privileged neighborhood. Like Obama, her family has no connection to the historical and cultural experiences of American Blacks who lived under slavery and segregation.

While contemplating a run for the presidency. Harris married Doug Emhoff in 2014, a Los Angeles-based managing partner of a law firm. According to ''[[The New Yorker]]'', between her break-up with Willie Brown in the mid-1990s and her first marriage at the age of 50 she had no longterm [[heterosexual]] relationships with [[men]].<ref>https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-political-scene/kamala-harriss-choices</ref> Another July 2019 ''New Yorker'' profile portrays Willie Brown as a major influence on Harris while her husband is portrayed as a political prop and nuisance. The author quotes a longtime donor to Harris who suggests she would have stayed single if it weren't for her presidential ambitions, saying, "When she married Doug, I knew she was running for President."<ref>https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/07/22/kamala-harris-makes-her-case</ref>

Harris, who has been pre-occupied with her career and has used sex to advance her ambitions, has no children.

Her sister is Maya Harris, an [[MSNBC]] political analyst. Maya's husband worked on the [[Biden Crime Bill of 1994]] which led to the mass incarceration of 2.5 million blacks.<ref>Tony West is married to Maya Harris, Kamala Harris's sister and campaign chair. West, a former [[Obama administration]] official, also chaired Kamala Harris's transition team after she was elected to the Senate in 2016. West featured his work on the crime bill in 2012 when he was nominated to be Associate Attorney General. It was the chief achievement he listed for his two years working as a special assistant under former attorney general [[Janet Reno]].

"From 1993 through 1994, I served as a Special Assistant in the U.S. Department of Justice," West wrote in his official questionnaire to the Senate Judiciary Committee. "Under the direction of U.S. Deputy Attorneys General Philip Heymann and [[Jamie Gorelick]], as well as Attorney General Janet Reno, I worked on the development of national crime policy, including the [[The New Jim Crow|1994 Omnibus Crime Bill]]."

The work was also featured in his biography when former attorney general [[Eric Holder]] hired him in 2009. "West worked on the development of national crime policy, including the 1994 Omnibus Crime Bill," a DOJ press release stated. https://freebeacon.com/politics/kamala-harriss-brother-in-law-helped-write-1994-crime-bill/</ref>
