Mark Caserta: Federal Law Enforcement working only to resolve Democrat open border policy.

27 Jan

I’ve written commentary for 25 years, long enough to realize I can’t change many minds over any emotional issue.

But let’s be clear in analyzing the situation.

The only reason ice agents and border patrol agents’ presence in our cities is heightened at this time is because liberal Democrat politicians have opened our borders to millions of illegal, unvetted individuals – period.

These illegals take refuge, largely, in sanctuary cities where their needs are provided at the expense of the taxpayer.

Some of these individuals entered the United States because they are criminals and have, sadly, continued their criminal activity in the cities.

Notably, many of these individuals did not come into this country to commit crimes, but committed a crime by coming into our country illegally.

When sanctuary city leadership does not comply with federal law-enforcement, it is very difficult to identify the hardened criminals from the ones who simply did not follow our immigration laws.

This situation forces ice agents to have to scour communities looking for and vetting criminals, which can be unsettling.

Our law-enforcement agents are not here to foment violence, quite the opposite. They are here to protect our citizens and enforce our laws.

Sadly, sanctuary city leaders are emboldening, and often paying protesters to insight violence and obstruct this process.

Even sadder, is the fact that some of these individuals want to incite a shooting so it can be captured on a cell phone and used to build an illegitimate argument against law-enforcement.

We are a nation of laws made by our elected officials. These officers cannot pick and choose which laws to enforce. They are here to serve and protect.

And they deserve protection in the process.

Let’s bring the heat and the rhetoric down. Let’s dispense with the conspiracy theories and allow our law enforcement agents to do their jobs.

These very law-enforcement people whom some would denigrate, are the first people they would call in case of an emergency.

Finally, this is not a move by the federal government to create a police state and move toward a monarchy.

This is simply an effort to remove people who are here illegally, with the primary focus on the criminal component.

Working with law enforcement will bring down the emotion and enable the process to be looked at through a much clearer lense.

Working against law enforcement who are simply enforcing the law, set in place by the people we elected, will only prolong the current state.

Mark Caserta – Candidate for West Virginia House of Delegates in Wayne County, WV.

20 Jan

A Message to My Neighbors and Fellow Citizens

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

My name is Mark Caserta, and I am a candidate for the West Virginia House of Delegates, seeking to represent the people of Wayne County, West Virginia. I am asking for your support because I believe our community deserves honest, common-sense representation grounded in enduring values—not passing political trends.

I believe in West Virginians. I was born and raised here, have lived here my entire life, and this state is my home. The people of West Virginia—especially the families of Wayne County—have shaped who I am, my values, and my commitment to service. I would be honored to represent Wayne County to the very best of my ability, with humility, diligence, and with God’s guidance.

I have spent my entire professional life as a businessman, focused on training and developing others to be the very best they can be. I know what it means to build teams, solve problems, and help people succeed. As a business owner, I have also carried the responsibility of meeting a payroll, balancing budgets, and making decisions that directly affect the lives of others. That experience has taught me accountability, discipline, and the importance of practical, results-driven leadership.

I am a Christian and a conservative, and I strive to live by Christian principles such as faith, integrity, personal responsibility, respect for life, and service to others. These values guide how I view leadership and public service.

I believe strongly that the United States is a Republic, governed by a Constitution that protects our freedoms, and that we use a democratic process to elect representatives. Those representatives are meant to serve the people—not impose personal ideology, political fashion, or distant agendas that do not reflect the will or values of the community.

I am proudly pro-life, believing that every human life has value and deserves protection. I am a strong supporter of the First Amendment, which safeguards our freedom of speech and religious liberty, and the Second Amendment, which affirms the right of law-abiding citizens to protect themselves and their families.

Like many of you, I am concerned by policies in recent years that prioritize ideology over results—policies often labeled “woke,” but which have too often led to division, higher costs, weakened public safety, and less accountability. I believe our community is ready to move forward with practical solutions, not political experiments.

My commitment is simple: to listen, to represent, and to act with common sense and moral clarity. I will work for policies that strengthen families, respect faith, protect freedom, and ensure that government serves the people—not the other way around.

I ask for your prayers, your consideration, and your vote. Together, we can restore responsible leadership that reflects the values of Wayne County, the strength of West Virginians, and the principles that make our nation strong.

Respectfully,

Mark A. Caserta
Candidate for West Virginia House of Delegates
Wayne County, West Virginia
“Serving with Faith, Integrity, and Common Sense”

Mark Caserta: Divided, we lose. It’s that simple.

17 Jan
Mark Caserta is a candidate for West Virginia House of Delegates 28th District- Wayne County

Fact: 76 million people, 312 Electoral college votes, 7 swing states and 90 percent of all counties voted, in part, for Donald Trump to end open borders and protect our nation’s sovereignty.

We were dying as a nation. Illegal immigration was slowly overtaking our country with an estimated 20 million unvetted illegals pouring into our country during the Biden administration.

Every single state, every single race and ethnicity moved toward the right and voted for common sense in stopping this insanity. They were tired of woke, failing policies that were causing America to fail on many levels to include healthcare, education, jobs and the rule of law.

Also understand, we are a nation of immigrants – LEGAL immigrants. If anyone comes to our country illegally, they have committed a crime – period. The argument that conservatives are against immigration is inaccurate and often leveraged with intellectual dishonesty.

One must understand congress makes the laws that protect our nation. These laws include immigration laws. Law enforcement agents do not get to pick and choose which laws to uphold. Their job is simply to enforce them.

If you truly love America, stop fighting and work together to make a positive difference rather than create more division. If we plan to have a viable future for our children, we must be united.

Leaders who compare law enforcement agents to Nazis or challenge their authority are emboldening protesters to risk their lives.

Where was this anger and dissension when innocent victims like Laken Riley, Rachael Morin and Jocelyn Nungaray were brutally raped and murdered by illegal immigrants? Have you researched the brutality of these murders?

Why do we make the choice to fight more for the criminals than we do for the victims? Is that really who we are? Is that the rule of law we want for our children?

There are evil forces at work here attempting to divide our people. We MUST choose NOT to allow that to happen.

Good choices are never made out of emotion. Good choices are made with wisdom, temperence and prayer.

Let’s do the exact opposite of what the enemy would have us do.

It’s a great time to remember the civil discourse Charlie Kirk modeled for us.

Let’s be Charlie Kirk

Pastor Mike Lewis: Opioids: Weapons of mass destruction – Battle begins at the border.

15 Jan
Mike Lewis is a pastor and businessman who travels the world serving others

Opioid addiction destroyed an entire generation of sons, daughters, parents & families. We didn’t see it coming – it was a fraud perpetrated on Americans by big pharma

Now, since 2021 fentanyl has killed an average of 300k Americans a year, mainly driven by open borders allowing the flow from China but sold by cartel members

6.5k children in WV sit in foster care because their family is dead or detained

Another 4k sit with kinship family members because their parents are dead or detained

300 kids a night sleep in hotels & offices because there is no room in the inn

575 kids from WV live out of state because we have no special needs centers to house them

WV is last in workforce participation 

48/50 in national education rankings 

47/50 in early mortality 

I have spent 30+ years serving those who had no hope until we introduced them to Jesus – food, clothing, counseling, housing, training, relocation, abortion decision change and more

I have buried +100 sons, daughters, parents & my own brother as a result of illegal drugs and hopelessness drive by addiction driven by open borders pouring fentanyl in

When you have a solvable problem like open borders and removing illegal criminals from our great country- you do it. You do the hard work. The unpopular work. The work that will save another generation from death & detention 

I have traveled to 86 countries in my career – know what they all have?  A secure border

I have been detained by machine gun weilding border agents in India, China and El Salvador all in their attempt to ensure their border laws were followed.  Me, an American executive working for an $11b corporation providing thousands of jobs in their countries 

We are called to protect the widows & orphans. WV leads the nation in both. 

I’ll die defending them. My last breath will be in defense of babies & families and in favor of the removal of those who are here to kill, steal and destroy them

If your spiritual resume is similar then we can sharpen each other. If the only thing you have done is type keyboard quotes then lay down the phone and pick up a servants sword and make a change not a charge

A warrior for WV!

Mark Caserta: Liberal Democrats are inciting violence and trading lives for votes.

9 Jan

Liberal Democrat politicians are literally buying votes with American lives.

When you foment anger and violence toward ICE law-enforcement agents and equate their legal actions to Hitler and Nazi Germany, you are not representing your constituents, you are putting them at risk.

People are losing their lives because of the lies being fed them, inciting them to violence.

Understand, the rioters we see taking action against ICE agents and other law enforcement are doing so only because they feel empowered and supported by their local and state political leaders. They know no action will be taken against them.

Politicians should represent their constituents, not inflame them to violently do their dirty work supporting their own radical ideology.

Democrats: People’s lives matter, despite their politics. Are you really willing to compromise them simply to stay in power?

Blood is on your hands. People are dying and you are using these deaths for political leverage.

We are seeing martyrdom for the Democrat party, strikingly akin to Islamic radicalism!

Ponder that for a moment.

The very sad reality is that many leftists are hoping to force situations where ICE agents must lethally defend themselves so it can be captured on video with cell phones and spewed repetitiously over the networks and social media by complicit factions.

Disingenuous politicians then leverage the resulting emotion to build their case against the rule of law and for protecting anyone willing to vote for them.

It is important for Americans to clearly see what is happening here and the eminent devastation liberals are intentionally fueling.

Liberal Democrats are indeed trading lives for votes and they don’t seem to mind it at all. For radical Democrats, chaos, death and destruction are simply tools to stay in power.

We must all remember far left Democrat’s willingness to see America destroyed from within simply to stay in office.

I fully believe some leftists desire to see America fail miserably as long as they can be part of the remaining leadership and lavish in power ruling over the people they have captured in their socialist nets. That’s why many of them support communist dictators. They long to live like one.

Folks, it is crucial that common sense, conservative candidates do not lose in the upcoming midterm elections.

America is headed in the right direction but we are facing treacherous headwinds. If we lose the balance of power in Congress, we will lose many of the advancements President Trump has made in the past 10 months. We will see ICE defunded, tax breaks repealed and plenty of impeachment proceedings to keep Congress busy for the remainder of President Trump’s term.

Losing our nation’s sovereignty and cowering to our enemies is inconsequential to these progressives. Winning for their agenda is all that matters.

Leadership is a driving force. It should be leadership for the people, one which can be followed for the betterment of lives.

But leadership can also be deceiving and slanted toward influencing individuals into acting in a manner that seems to serve the good of the people, but in fact, is an illusion designed to take control by self-serving individuals.

We must be able to discern the difference.

The enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy and sadly, liberals have taken on that mantle. The Bible tells us we can tell a person intentions by the fruit they produce. What kind of fruit are Democrats producing?

Today, all one needs to do is follow the death and destruction to find a liberal Democrat leader.

May God bless and protect us from all evil. There is much out there right now. Get informed, engaged and active in praying for our nation and our leaders.

If Christian conservatives don’t take a stand – we lose.

Mark Caserta: Sadly, elections have become a choice between “good” and “evil”

20 Dec

The good news is that it’s still your choice!

Our country is starved for true leaders who invoke prayer and common sense.

Who do these Democrat (and some Republican) politicians think they represent? Total transformation of our society for the past 250 years appears to be the endgame.

Since the election of Donald Trump, it’s become common place for liberal progressives to take the wrong side of every issue impacting their constituency, if it means opposing the president.

We are seeing a lack of common-sense representation as never before.

Perhaps, no representation at all from many politicians

Democrats (and Rand Paul) are spending time and resources defending boats of narco-terrorists bound to our shores to kill Americans.

Apparently, we should show them mercy as they race to destroy our children!

Democrats defend criminals and totally ignore the innocent victims.

Ask the families of Laken Riley, Rachael Morin and Jocelyn Nungaray.

After all, deceased victims can’t vote.

It’s been that way in every issue!!!

  • Fighting for illegal immigrant criminals who murder innocent women!
  • Fighting for transgender rights over the right of the female in sports!
  • Recently, nearly every single Democrat and 4 so-called Republicans voted against a bill protecting our children against genital mutilation or gender transitioning hormones for minors!
  • Fighting for illegals who obtain CDL licenses in sanctuary states and kill on the highways!
  • Fighting (and worshipping) verminous assassins who murder innocent businessmen with families with a bullet to the back!
  • Fighting against ICE agents and law enforcement entering cities enforcing laws that keep us safe and extract gang members and illegal criminals!
  • And fighting, without exception, every single thing President Trump does for the American people to leep them safe!

Who do these liberal democrats feel they are representing? Folks, do not believe the “stump” speeches or the media! Check their voting records!

These people truly hate America, President Trump and everyone who stands by him! Their desire to stay in power overrides everything, including your safety and welfare!

It’s time for some common-sense representation of the people over your own ideology! It’s time for Godly values and principles declared to be true by our founders to, once again, reign supreme! It’s time for “We the People” to take back our government.

We are at cross-roads in our country. It’s come down to right over wrong, good over evil, and truth over lies! Each of these choices represent one thing – life.

Choose life.

Mark Caserta: Author Brian Sexton provides insight into personal growth through stimulating positive beliefs – A must read!

16 Dec

“I believe Brian wrote this book directly from his “servant’s heart” to help us realize we can achieve positive results not by attempting to “mold” others into who we feel they should be but rather encourage them to embrace who God has called them to be and follow His direction. I believe people are starving for encouragement and self-worth. Brian’s message delivers! This book will make a superb gift for someone you love!” – Mark Caserta

Intentional Encouragement: The One Thing That Changes Everything

by Brian Sexton (Author), Damon Burton (Foreword)

Order Brian’s new book here! or clink on graphic below!

 What do you believe about yourself? Intentional Encouragement isn’t about affirming thoughts. It’s about stimulating positive beliefs. Thoughts and opinions are easily changed to societal acceptance. Beliefs are hard-wired, developed and harnessed through years of life experience. What you believe drives every part of who you are, what you think, when you act, where you take yourself, why you do things and how life progresses or regresses for you. Learn to stimulate those powerful positive beliefs and you change your thoughts, convey clear direction and eliminate negativity that derails momentum.
You will understand how Intentional Encouragement is: Internal; Invigorating; Necessary; Original; Targeted; Normal; Enlightening; Anchoring; Natural; Liberating; Timely

PRAISE FOR INTENTIONAL ENCOURAGEMENT
When I was a little boy, I asked my dad what his company did. He said, “Son, we sell hope and encouragement!” Dad also said, “Encouragement is the fuel that powers hope.” The world needs hope and encouragement now more than ever. Here’s the truth that Brian Sexton uncovers. You cannot give something you do not have. Brian says it best, “You can’t pour into anyone from an empty bucket.” Fill that bucket full of encouragement by devouring this book. As Dad knew, Brian knows that everyone needs encouragement. Intentional Encouragement is the perfect guide to understanding how you can get that encouragement for yourself so that you can encourage others. The world needs an Encouraged you!
Tom Ziglar, CEO of Ziglar Inc and proud son of Legendary Speaker and Sales Trainer Zig Ziglar

Intentional Encouragement by Brian Sexton addresses a critical yet often overlooked aspect of personal growth and fulfillment – the power of self-encouragement. Each of us has innate positive beliefs about ourselves, but we struggle to consistently access and nurture those beliefs. Our goals are powered by stimulating our positive belief system. When you believe, nothing stands in your way. This book provides a roadmap for readers to start and sustain a practice of self-encouragement. Brian’s purpose and authenticity shine through. This book will make a meaningful difference for you in seeking to cultivate more positivity, resilience and possibility in your life.

Mark Caserta: As Americans, how knowledgeable are we about The Bill of Rights?

4 Dec

Maybe it’s time for a refresher! After all, how do we fight for that which we are unaware has been appropriated for us?

Let’s get started!

We live our lives in the United States under the protections afforded by the U.S. Constitution. It is often leveraged in political pontificating without true adherence to the visions of our Founding Fathers.

It’s up to us to keep and preserve our Republic! We must be able to state our positions boldly and accurately!

The Constitution Was Not Originally Going to Include a Bill of Rights.

When the Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia in 1787, most delegates did not think a bill of rights was necessary.

They believed the Constitution already limited the federal government enough.

Some feared listing rights might imply those were the only rights people had. There are, indeed, people’s rights not specifically noted in the Constitution.

I personally would like to propose an amendment that all rights provided directly or indirectly by the Constitution, be limited to US citizens ONLY! (But, I digress)

So, initially, the Constitution was drafted without a bill.

When the Constitution went to the states for approval, Anti-Federalists (those worried about strong central power) opposed ratification unless a list of rights was added.

They feared:

• Abuse of power

• Government overreach

• Lack of protections for individual freedoms

This resistance nearly prevented the Constitution from being adopted!

To win support and ensure ratification, key Federalists—including James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Jay promised that a bill of rights would be added after the Constitution was approved.

This compromise helped several states vote yes.

Once the Constitution went into effect in 1789, James Madison, who initially doubted a bill of rights was necessary, took the lead in writing one.

By December 15, 1791, 10 amendments were ratified.

These became the Bill of Rights.

It’s important, as Americans, that we understand these rights and their implications on our lives!
