A Rare and Decent Man

 I suffered through the Vice President “debate” just to try to see if I could learn something about the candidates. To be honest, I did learn somethings that I did not know, and had some things that I already knew, reinforced. First and foremost, none of these candidates EVER answers the actual question that they are asked. They use the question as a gateway to a campaign “talking point.” That annoys the hell out of me! If you are not willing to answer questions do not run for office! It is just that simple.

I learned that Governor Walz is not particularly bright. He did not seem to have a particularly deep understanding of economics or how tax rates affect tax revenue. (Reference the Laffer Curve.) Walz, like Harris, is a Marxist. Their fallback position is “class envy” and “class strife.” That is such a despicable ideology. How can we build a peaceful, united, society if our government is constantly pitting one group of citizens against another?

Our current tax system is unfair. Every adult citizen should pay the same percentage of their income as tax. Write – offs and exemption should be exceedingly rare and be offered to every taxpayer. No citizen should pay a higher percentage of their income as tax than any other taxpayer. And pigs might fly.

Mr. Walz also showed no understanding of foreign policy and the need for a strong, stable United States. The man is simply not ready for the role of Vice President. He touted all the remarkable success that Minnesota has had under his leadership, but studiously skirted his lack of leadership during the riots of 2020. “Buffoon” is the word that comes to mind.

I also learned that the lamestream media has been dreadfully unjust in their portrayal of Senator Vance. Ever since he emerged on the national scene as a candidate for Senate in Ohio, the media has painted Mr. Vance as a wild eyed, crazed radical, politically somewhere between Adolph Hitler and Attila the Hun. I was expecting to hear all kinds of white jingoist rhetoric; what I heard was an articulate, thoughtful, intelligent man with a depth of knowledge about the issues facing our nation.

Senator Vance presented himself as a steady, calm, unflappable man. He exuded confidence and leadership ability. He made his positions clear; he took no crap from the moderators, and he was gentile and gentlemanly throughout the discussion.

The senator also used two very subtle, totally devastating devices throughout the debate that were simply brilliant. Every time he referenced the current administration he said, “Kamala Harris” not “Joe Biden,” thereby assigning all blame for the current dumpster fire that is our world squarely on Harris. It was brilliant!

The other device was also devastating, but in a different manner. Throughout the entire debate, Senator Vance referred to Governor Walz by his first name, instead of by his title, thereby minimizing Walz’s political stature. These both show the senator’s strategic skill and thinking ability.

The most important moment of the debate came when Senator Vance spontaneously reacted to Walz saying that his 17-year-old son had witnesses a shooting. The senator’s response was incredible. 

He said, “"Tim, first of all, I didn't know that your 17-year-old witnessed a shooting, and I'm sorry about that and I hope he's doing OK," he said. "Christs have mercy, it is awful." This was not scripted, was not planned, was not practiced, or rehearsed. It was an honest, heartfelt reaction from a good and decent man. In an era bereft of decent people in positions of power, Senator J. D. Vance stands out as a decent, honorable gentleman.

I grew up in Appalachia, though not of Appalachian people. The people of Appalachia hold many of the characteristics that exemplified America at its best. J. D. Vance embodies the kindness, the decency, the rugged individualism, and the simple goodness of his mountain country heritage. Senator Vance, if elected, will be a strong influence for good on President Trump. 

J. D. Vance is one more good reason to vote for Donald Trump for president.

The Real Existential Threat to Democracy

 I often wonder what it must be like to be a Democrat. I mean, how do you parrot the idiotic things that your Party leaders say? How do you call fellow Americans Nazis just because hey disagree with you? How do you justify calling Republicans and Conservatives racists simply because they don’t agree with you that the white race is the cause of all the World’s problems? I wonder how you can look at the price of gas and groceries and claim things are great in America. How can you think about the disastrous, unconditional surrender of Afghanistan to the Taliban and a world being engulfed by war and think your guy is doing well? What is it like to know that your political party hid the president’s dementia from you for 5 years?

But I really wonder what it must be like to be a Democrat today knowing that your political party does not respect YOUR vote in the recent presidential primaries.

Millions of you turned out to vote in your state primaries and caucuses and voted for Biden. About 85% of registered Democrats voted for Biden in the primaries. Now, after the whole world saw his imcomptency, his obvious cognitive impairment, and raging dementia during the presidential debate and the NATO press conference – the elites in the Democratic party have dumped him. YOUR votes do not matter to them.

Your votes in the primaries don’t count. The will of the people doesn’t count. All that counts is winning – and it only counts because of the wealth that accrues to those in power. Your Party doesn’t care about you – all they care about is there power and the monet they can get from that power.

Your Party doesn’t care about you. If they cared about you, gas would still be less than $2 a gallon, graceries would be 40% less than they are now, our borders would be closed, and the world would be at peace.

And if they cared about you they would not have hidden Biden’s dementia from you for 5 years and they wouldn’t be overturning your primary votes.

You Democrats can claim that President Trump is an “existential threat to Democracy” for questioning obvious problems with vote counting in the 2020 election. You can claim that until the cows come home, but from where I sit, it is the Democratic Party that has no regard for the will of the people.

 

The Post Turtle

 

 The Presidential debate on June 27 was the most disturbing and frightening thing that I have seen in more than a half century of observing Presidential politics. It was also perhaps the saddest public display of aged caused incompetence that I have ever witnessed.

I am no fan of Joe Biden. I had him pegged as a buffoon when he first appeared on the national scene in 1973. He was a cocky, arrogant braggart; the archetypical “empty suit” politician. Even 50 years ago, Joe Biden was well-known for his verbal gaffes. The man was stupid long before he became senile. And, he has always had a mean streak.

According to the UCal Santa Barbara “American Presidency Project Website”, "Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., fighting to salvage his Presidential campaign, today acknowledged 'a mistake' in his youth, when he plagiarized a law review article for a paper he wrote in his first year at law school.” Biden also lifted almost word for word a long portion of a speech given by British politician Neil Kinnock (https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/trump-campaign-press-release-copy-that-joe-bidens-long-record-plagiarism). Revelation of that fact caused Biden to drop out of the 1988 Democratic presidential primary. He also plagiarized from a speech by Robert F Kennedy (same source). The man has a well-known history of using the words of others without attribution.

Even as much as I dislike the man, the revelations of his corruption took me totally by surprise. I have always assumed that most politicians enrich themselves while in office, but this guy takes the cake, if even half of the allegations are true, this man might be the most corrupt man to ever occupy the White House.

Yet, even with my total disdain for the man, it was incredibly sad to watch him on TV last Thursday night. The man had no business being there. His bumbling, wandering, incomprehensible answers were devoid of substance and just made no sense. Watching him was like watching a fish out of water – flopping around, gasping for coherency like a fish gasping for water to breathe. 

I can’t get the image of the “post turtle” out of my head either.

For those of you unfamiliar with that term, let me explain it. When you're driving down a country road you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post turtle'. You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn’t belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he is up there, and you just wonder what kind of an asshole put him up there to begin with.

The whole spectacle was tragically sad.

Aging is a normal part of life. As we age, our physical and mental abilities decline. We each age at differing chronological times and at differing rates. None of us have the same abilities at 70 that we did at 40, it is just a fact of life. Most of us acknowledge those limitations – though grudgingly sometimes – and adjust our lifestyles to accommodate the new realities that we face. At least the wise among us do.

Our mental and cognitive abilities tend to decline as we age, too. Regardless of how sharp we were in our prime, our abilities to remember, reason, and retain new knowledge decline as we age. Most of us do retain enough of our mental abilities to independently function and contribute well into our 70s and 80s. Some of us don’t. The wise, or at least the well adjusted among us accept (if not graciously) the limits and restrictions that age imposes. The wise, or at least well adjusted among us, do not continually try to exceed our limitations. And many of us who consider trying to exceed them have spouses and families to advise us not to – or to restrain our stupidity! His debate performance showed that Biden has neither the wisdom, nor the family support, to stop from making a pathetic spectacle of himself.

Putting aside all personal and political objections to the man, it was nothing short of tragic to see him on TV. He was in no way presidential. He was a caricature of a man; a fumbling, doddering, incompetent old man; incapable of expressing a coherent thought. No person should have to endure the humiliation of being seen in the condition Biden was in during the debate. It was terribly sad.

If Biden himself chose to be on TV that night he obviously is incapable of making good decisions. If his wife and advisors forced him to be there, the should be arrested and charged with elder abuse. He just should not have been there. It was cruel, humiliating, and just sad.

It was also frightening to see the most powerful man in world reduced to an incoherent, totally incompetent, senile being. It was frightening to see this husk of a man and to know that he holds incredible power over 340 million Americans. This doddering old man has the authority to launch nuclear weapons. But more frightening was the fact that all of America’s enemies also saw this pathetic spectacle and now know that America offers no danger to them. The once great and mighty United States has been reduced to a toothless, paper tiger – a caricature of what we once were – by Joe Biden – an empty, tragic caricature of a man.

The Fate of America Hangs in the Balance

 

Sometimes I think that I might be Rip Van Winkel. I see what is going on in my country, and I have no idea how our society and government has collapsed into the bizarre psycho, tragic-comedy that I see all around me. The America that I see in this summer of 2024 looks like a cross between 1930’s Germany, a third world banana republic, and a Soviet – era Communist police state observed through a warped Alice in Wonderland looking glass. I never thought that I’d live to see this once great nation being destroyed by its own government, while the whole civilized seems to rushing pell mell toward World War III and the collapse of modern civilization.

Every 4 years for the past 20 years or so the politicians tell us that “this is the most important election in our lifetime”. Looking at the current clown show currently playing in Washington DC, one might conclude that a vast majority of voters have not taken elections seriously for quite some time. It is a colossal understatement to say that our nation is bereft of responsible leadership. It is hard to see anything that this current government has done to improve the lives of most Americans, to make American safer, or to make the world more peaceful. For the life of me, I cannot see anything that is better today than it was before the Covidiocy and the election of “Brandon” Biden.

It is hard to know where to begin listing the things that are worse now than they were before. Before we let the government shut down the country over the pandemic hoax, the American economy was stronger than it had ever been. Most American cities were peaceful and relatively safe – exceptions being some of the Democrat run cities like Portland and Seattle. Gas was cheap. The worst of the Moslem terrorists around the world had been defeated and the world was at peace. Our Southern border was secure with very few migrants entering illegally. Our country, hell the whole world, was so much better off 4 short years ago than it is today.

Within hours of his swearing in, Biden signed dozens of “executive orders” completely destroying border security, ushering in the largest invasion of any nation in the history of the world. There is no other responsible way to describe the current inflow of single, military age, young men from China and other countries that hate America. (Very plausible nightmare scenario: a group of container cargo ships enter Sea-Tac. His inept and stupid Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas, continually tells Congress that “our border is secure” and our elected representatives refuse to hold him or the President accountable. Estimates vary from 2.5 to 4 million undocumented, un-vetted persons have entered the US since 2021. Most of these folks have been released into the country with no system to track them or to ensure that they show up for their immigration hearings. Many of these people are being fed, clothed, housed, and provided with limitless healt care by American taxpayers. City governments around the country are paying luxury hotels to house these migrants. Every week, we read in the news about some heinous crime being committed by an illegal migrant.

Compounding the economic burden, is the reality that Mexican drug cartels are using these migrants as “mules” to carry fentanyl into the country for distribution. The Centers for Disease Control estimates that in 2022 and 2023 over 150,000 (mostly teenaged) Americans died from fentanyl overdose. That alone is enough to justify closing the southern border entirely. We are also seeing outbreaks of diseases that had been eradicated in our country. There are reports of measles, leprosy, and tuberculosis among the un-vetted migrants. There is nothing that benefits ordinary Americans in the open order policies of this administration.

Our economy is in shambles. President Trump’s “stimulus” money was bad economic and fiscal policy. But, the Biden administration’s 3.3 trillion dollar “American Rescue Plan spending blew the bottom out of our economy, leading to the runaway inflation that is crippling every single American. Gasoline is almost double the price it was in November of 2020. Food prices have increased by more than 25% since 2021, with no signs of returning to previous levels. No one in our country is immune from this unnecessary – and totally preventable – inflation. Our oldest Americans have seen the value of their retirement saving cut by a quarter, working Americans are seeing their buying power diminish with every paycheck. But it’s the lowest earning Americans who are suffering the most from inflation as they have to spend a larger percentage of their earnings on food and energy that do higher wage earners. Only a handful of Americans are benefiting from the current economic policies of this administration. Most of us are being crushed by it.

The runaway inflation ravaging our economy has triggered massive increases in interest rates as the Federal Reserve tries to quell the inflation. These higher interest rates are supposed to suppress borrowing in order to take money out of the economy. While it does work, it also creates hardship for homeowners who do not have fixed interest loans and for businesses that need to borrow in order to operate. For those of you who do not remember the early 1980’s, interest rates topped 21% before that round of inflation was broken.

While interest rates themselves cannot be blamed on the President, certain presidential actions are exacerbating the pain that higher interest rates are causing. If the cause of inflation is too much money chasing too few goods and services, then government should be striving to help get excess money out of the economy and to increase the amount of goods and services in the economy. The current Biden government continues to spend way too much money on domestic programs, pumping ever increasing amounts of money into the economy fueling inflation while the Federal Reserve is increasing interest rates to stop inflation. Meanwhile, all of us are suffering.

The other tool that the government should be using to get the economy back on track is to promote the growth of industries and businesses to develop more goods and services in the economy to fight inflation. However, the current administration is making business startup and expansion virtually impossible with their doubling down on regulations and their idiotic “green” requirements. Once again, for whatever reasons, the current administration is taking actions that are hurting a majority of the American people.

No discussion of the collapse of America can be complete without considering the total clown show that is Biden’s foreign policy. During the 4 years of President Trump’s presidency the world was at relative peace. America had destroyed the Caliphate, held Iran’s nuclear ambitions in check, convinced the Russians and the Chinese that military adventurism would come at a very high cost. Trump’s oil development policies deprived Russian and Iran of the cash that they needed to field armies. Mr. Trump was also able to convince our NATO allies to pay their share of NATO’s expenses. Like President Trump’s border policies, Biden just simply had to try to completely undo everything President Trump accomplished. And so we see a world rushing headlong into the next world war.

Biden’s first, and most incredibly stupid, act in foreign affairs was his mindless retreat – which became a rout – from Afghanistan. President Trump had set a time line to withdraw, but amended it due to conditions on the ground. As US forces withdrew, the Taliban stepped in. That was not the deal that President Trump had agreed to and so he stopped the withdrawal. That sort of makes sense to a person with any ability to think logically. Biden just had to to bring the troops home, consequences be damned! The Taliban seized control of every bit of territory that our army withdrew from and immediately implemented medieval Islamic rule. As the Taliban’s hold on the country grew, Biden increased the pace of the retreat until it was nothing more than a rout – a panicked fleeing in the face of an enemy. During the last year of President Trumps term, not a single US service man had been lost to enemy fire in Afghanistan. That nation was at peace, thanks to the US military presence.

But Biden just had to “end the war”. Maybe it was just his need to do everything to unravel President Trump’s successes. Maybe in his demented, senile mind, he thought that it was 1968 again and he was ending the war in Vietnam. The images from the airport in the last days of the rout were worse even that the picture of the last helicopter leaving Saigon. As bad as it was to unconditionally surrender to the Taliban, Biden left nearly $90 billion in fully functioning top of the line weapons, planes, tanks, and vehicles behind. Never in all of human history has a victorious nation unconditionally surrendered, withdrawn precipitously, and left behind all of there weapons so that their vanquished foe could rearm. When the history of these times is written Joe Biden will be hailed as one of the biggest fools to ever lead a powerful nation.

Biden’s betrayal of the Afghans completely destroyed America’s standing in the world. Our Allies no longer trust us and our enemies no longer fear us. Biden’s energy policies have driven up oil prices and made room in the world market for Russian and Iranian oil to fund their aggression. Without America as a strong, stabilizing force, the world is at the mercy of tyrants and those who would be tyrants. Rush Limbaugh used to say that “world events were driven by the aggressive use of force”. Those willing to do so have nothing to fear from Biden’s America. We’re not even a “paper tiger” anymore – we’re just a joke, but millions of people around the world are suffering and dying because this government has turned its back on our responsibilities to the world.

Theses are just what this writer sees as the worst transgressions of this administration, but it is not a complete list. The administration’s fanaticism with green energy and forced social engineering is splintering our society and causing devastating social unrest. The blatant disregard for laws and accepted norms makes the divisions in our society worse. Nothing, absolutely nothing that tis government has done since January of 2021 has improved the lives of any Americans. Our government, our economy, our safety, and very way of life are being threatened every day that this government remains in power. It will take years to undo the damage that Biden and his minions have done.

The hopeless, hapless, incompetent, corrupt, and senile Biden does not bear all of the responsibility for all of mess that he has created. Congress has completely abrogated its oversight responsibilities. Regardless of party affiliation any congressman or senator who has supported this administration needs to be voted out of office. Our government is supposed to serve the American people, not to rule us. And this administration is all about ruling and not interested in serving.

So, maybe “this is the most important election in our lifetime”. Our nation cannot endure another 4 years of what we have gone through in the last 3 ½ years. Four more years of this and the world will be engulfed in war, our society will be a splintered mess, our cities will be totally over run by crime, and te cost of living will be beyond the reach of the average American. But, it is not enough just to vote Biden out of office. We need to vote out every congressman and senator who supports any part of the progressive, Biden agenda, regardless of party affiliation. The fate of America as we have known it hangs in the balance.

The Most Ancient Hatred

 

I am baffled and amazed by the complete numb-minded support that so many people have for the Palestinians. Moslems supporting the Palestinians is to be expected; as their hatred of the Jews is a tenant of their “religion” and goes all the way back to Abraham at the beginning of Jewish history. 

“And, the Lord God said to Hagar, ‘Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction. And he will be a wild ass of a man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him . . .’” (Gen 16:11-12) 

The Lord God chose Issac, Abraham’s second son, over Ishmael the first-born, to be the Father of His chosen people, the Jews. And, there has been no peace in that part of the world since then. Destroying Israel and annihilating the Jews are foundational tenets of the Moslem “religion”.

Non-Moslem support for the Palestinians stems from either a willful ignorance of history, a mindless acceptance of Marxism, or deep-rooted hatred of the Jews. Thoughtful, intelligent people capable of independent thinking cannot support the Palestinian cause, which is based on driving all of the Jews out of Israel.

Ignorance of history can lead some to believe that Israel is in the wrong. Those who know the history of the region, know that Israel gave the Palestinians the ability to create a “government” for the Gaza Strip and portions of the West Bank in 1994. The Palestinian Authority was intended to give the Palestinians a framework to develop a true Palestinian state. Hamas, a Moslem terrorist group won electionsin 2004, setting off a 3 year civil war. Hamas gained total control of the Gaza Strip in 2007 and began their terrorism campaign against Israel. Israel has endured 17 years of bombings, terrorist attacks, and missile launches by Hamas in Gaza. These attacks came to a head on October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched a series of raids across Israel killing and raping and taking more than100 hostages. Israel’s attack on Gaza is in retaliation for the Oct 7 attacks and for 17 years of violence against the Israeli people.

Every nation has the right to defend its people from foreign and domestic attacks. That is one of the few legitimate roles of government.  I doubt that many of the pro-Palestinian supporters would be pleased if their neighborhood was bombed by another nation and our government just let it ride. Ignorance of the history and realities is absolutely essential if one supports the Palestinians in this current conflict.

The pro-Palestinian shills condemn Israel for destroying hospitals in Gaza and creating a “humanitarian crisi”. Hamas used civilian hospitals as arsenals and command and control centers for their terrorist campaign. A nation cannot win a war without destroying the enemy’s weapons and communications ability. The enemy chooses where he stores his weapons. Civilized nations do not put their arsenals and weapons in civilian areas. Civilized nations try to limit civilian deaths in conflicts. Barbarians put civilians in harm’s way. Ruthless barbarians use civilians as human shields.

Yes, there are civilian deaths in the Gaza war.  And, yes, there is a humanitarian crisis. But, the entire responsibility rest solely with the Hamas terrorists. The terrorists wove their fighters and weaponry tightly throughout the civilian population of Gaza, thereby guaranteeing massive civilian casualties when Israel finally did attack. In a vicious, calculated plan to either prevent Isreal from attacking, or to try to influence public opinion against Israel,  Hamas used the entire population of Gaza as blood sacrifices in the “holy war” against the Jews. It is not Israel that is conducting genocide against the Gazans; it is Hamas. 

I said earlier that mindless, thoughtless acceptance of Marxism was another reason that many Americans support Hamas, although they claim to support the Gazans. Americans have become extraordinarily lazy mentally. That is the lure of Marxism; one need not think about right or wrong, just or unjust, one only needs to “know” who the “oppressors” are. Marxism simplifies this too.  “White” is always the “oppressor”, brown is always the “oppressed”, regaedless of the situation. In the case of the Jews and the Gazans, both of which are brown skinned, Semitic people,  Marxism provides another solution that does not require the expenditure of any mental energy. The US always supports the bad guys. Therefore, in this present crisis, Israel is the “evil”.

Marxism is such a crutch for people who are too stupid or too lazy to think for themselves, but who want to appear “woke” and oh! so sophisticated!!

While the thinking part of me truly wants to blame ignorance of history and stupid, unquestioning Marxism for the anti – Israeli, a deeper, older part of me knows the real reason, and it is darker, uglier, and more destructive even than Marxism. I believe through observation guided by experience, that there is a deep seated bias in most non-Jews against Jews. The Jews have been a separate people since the beginning of history. Regardless of the atrocities committed upon them, they refuse to be destroyed, they refuse to be assimilated, they refuse to forsake their God. 

The mistrust and fear of the Jews is older than the history of mankind. It is deeply ingrained in cultures around the world. Forcibly removed from Israel, first by the Assyrians, then by the Babylonians, by the Greeks and Macedonians, and lastly by the Romans, the Jews return to Israel again and again. Even the Holocaust in which the Nazis killed 6 million of Europe’s 9.5 million Jews could not destroy them. No matter how many generations, how many centuries they are dispersed, they hold onto their culture, their language, their religion, and their God. Even when they seem to assimilate, they remain distinct and unique from those around them – they remain Jewish. Their difference, their resiliency, their unwavering faith threatens what others understand. They have been “strangers in a strange land” for 3,000 years, but remain true to themselves. No other prejudice is as deeply held as the prejudice against the Jews.

While we “boomers” embraced Dr. King’s ideal of judging people by the “content of their character” not by the “color of their skin” and worked tirelessly to overcome our racial prejudices, anti-Semitism always simmered just below the surface. And after 20 years of our political “leaders” driving wedges between races, religions, ans political beliefs, the atmosphere in America is ripe for anti-Semitism to once again rear its ugly head. It has not taken long for the ancient ugliness to become manifest given the conflict and the barrage of anti-Israeli news coverage. At the root of all of the Palestinian support – whether from ignorance of history, Marxism, lies the ugly reality of anti-Semitism and an inbred hatred of the Jews.

They Did Not Indict Trump - They Indicted Us

The TV talking heads are missing the main point in the indictment of President Trump.  While it is historic that a former president and leader of the opposition party has been arrested on “trumped up” charges, the real story is that this is part of a political party’s move to seize total power in the United States and impose a single party dictatorship. President Trumps indictment is not a fee-standing assault, rather it is the only the most recent – and most outrageous – attack on the “enemies of the State”.

The working thesis here, in case you missed it, is that the Democratic Party is actively trying to create a one-party dictatorship in the United States. Unlike Nazi Germany there is not a charismatic single person leading the movement, rather, it is an organized political party. There has been a long-standing campaign against people who oppose the Democratic Party.

Future historians – assuming there will be a place and time where there will be academic freedom – will debate when this “coup d'é·tat” began. The Democrats began using “politics of personal destruction” in the 1964 presidential election campaign. They honed and perfected it with the Judge Bork and Judge Clarence Thomas hearings. Somewhere over the years, the “win at any cost” approach became a method of warning people not to run against the Democrats and not to accept nominations from Republican presidents and then morphed into the coup.

My thinking is that up until George Soros became involved in American politics the Democrats  were primarily interested in just winning elections for the power and the money that power accrues. But Soros and his money brought with it an ideological change that was likely the true beginning of the Democrats’ march to seize the government.

The Soros funded Center for American Progress spent millions in the 2004 presidential election to defeat George W. Bush. Bush was hardly a threat to the established order, but he was not the easily swayed radical that Democratic candidate John Kerry was. Kerry is the kind of hack who will do whatever his financiers tell him to do.

The Center for American Progress spent millions in support of Barack Obama and I think that it was during that the simple lust for power and money became an organized, albeit loosely, drive to seize total control of the government.

The late Rush Limbaugh used to say that the Obama government was “governing against the will of the people”. While most of that which Obama accomplished was approved by hard-core Progressives, the entire tone and tenor of his years as president was socially and politically divisive. It was no longer enough to just disagree politically, those disagreements had to become social and political enmities and those enemies had to be destroyed. Americans had worked hard to build a tolerant, peaceful society for the previous 40 years following the social upheaval of the 1960s and 70s.  Prompted and led by the Obama White House, the Progressives moved from rhetoric to violence and after 8 years of Obama, American society is hardly recognizable.

If the Obama administration “governed against the will of the people”, the Biden administration seems hell bent on destroying the country. Everything they have done is harmful to Americans: the totally out of control spending, the unconditional surrender to the Taliban and retreat from a peaceful Afghanistan, the increasing taxes, sexualizing children, putting “climate” issues first in all matters – EVERYTHING.

But to what end? And what is the next phase in the “coup d'é·tat? Those are unanswerable questions right now.

All of this background is essential to understanding why President Trump was indicted. President Trump committed the unpardonable – he openly challenged the establishment and he woke a sleeping giant, the patriotic Americans. He represents the greatest threat to ever arise against the Democrats coup. He represents patriotic Americans.  And they are the real “enemies of the state”, Trump is just the symbol.

The Democrats believe that the only way to break the patriots is to destroy Donald Trump. They also think that this persecution will prevent anyone else from ever challenging their hegemony again.  Short of outlawing opposition parties, they think that the total destruction of opposition leaders is their best option for ending the resistance. They think that once Trump is gone, no one will stand in their way of seizing total control of the American government.

This public spectacle is designed to humiliate and crush Mr. Trump  and the patriots once and for all. There is a better chance that it will backfire and galvanize the patriot resistance. The next question may be the most important one – when will the patriots become Rebels?

 

 

 

 

 

The Three Boxes of Liberty

 I find it interesting that as we move into the election year 2022 that the news media and a handful of fascist, Democrat Governors, mayor, and “medical” politician types are hyping up the Covid threat.  Once again, the propaganda tool of the fascists, the main stream media, is lap dogging for the Fascists, ginning up as much fear and division as they can.  After all, a society split into fighting factions and whiplashed by fear for 2 years is easier to manipulate than a unified angry nation.

Oh, and we should most definitely be unified and angry.  Never in the history of our nation has our government so blatantly thrashed our Constitutional Rights: and never in the history of our nation have so many people been so willing to surrender their Rights.  The Federal and State governments are trampling our First, Fourth, and Ninth Amendment Rights and about half of us don’t care.

We should be angry at the actions of the President since his inauguration.  His Executive Orders have driven the price of gas to an all time high, he orchestrated the most humiliating military defeat and surrender in human history, his refusal to enforce existing laws has led to an unprecedented invasion through our Southern border, his domestic policies are giving us inflation like we have never seen before, and mayor and Prosecutors in his party are allowing the worst crime wave in our history.  Oh, there’s plenty for Americans to be unified and angry about.

Consider, if you can, a victorious army occupying a defeated, largely peaceful country.  The occupying army had not had a casualty in 18 months. With no warning, no consultation with Allies, no agreement with the force that will take over, the occupying army abandons all their positions, leaving all military equipment in place and simply evacuates and abandons the country.  Never in military history has ay leader done this.  More American servicemen died in the rout, retreat, and surrender than the enemy killed in a year and a half.  We should be unified and angry.

But what dominates the propaganda main stream news?  Covid this and Omicron that.  News caster after news caster rings the never-ending bell – highest number of cases, hospitals over run, unprecedented CRISIS.  I think of Chicken Little and his cry of “the sky is falling”!  Calm, considered research shows that Omicron is not deadly, is not severe, and has few symptoms.  In a sane world, we would be celebrating the evolution of the virus from unknown danger to little more than the common cold.  But this is hardly a sane world anymore.

None of this really makes any sense, unless you understand the first sentence of this essay.  We are moving into an election year and with the complete failure of the Biden administration, Democrats are facing a defeat of epic proportions in the elections in 2022.  Their only hope is to force the entire nation into another lockdown so they can rig the elections like they did in 2020.they are ramping up the fear campaign almost a year before elections.  Liberal cities and states are leading the way with new controls, mandates, and lockdowns.  Union run government schools are closing again to set up conditions for a complete lockdown later this year. 

Once the fear level gets high enough Democrat run states will implement all sorts of “new” ways to vote so that people don’t have to vote in person.  There will be fraud and over voting and all kinds of shenanigans to save as many Democrat seats as possible.  And, there is a good chance that they will get away with it because the media will gin up the fear hysteria and the mind numbed public will demand “safety” over honest elections.

It is going to be up to the citizens to insure free and accountable elections.  Liberty loving Americans are going to have to use mass civil disobedience to force fascist Democrats to hold clean elections.  There can be no mailed in votes, no ballot harvesting and citizens MUST take the day and watch the polls – from the time they open until the time the ballots are delivered to the Board of elections.  Poll watchers need to count the number of people who vote in person.  They must have the Judge of Elections report on the number of absentee votes.  Better yet, volunteer to work the polls and make sure it’s an accurate vote.

We cannot rely on elected officials to defend the Constitution and our God given Liberties.  We must be ready to defend them ourselves.  It will be easier to protect them, than to win them back.  We have 2 boxes to use to defend our Liberties – the soap box and the ballot box.  There’s only one box to use to win them back – the bullet box.  Let’s completely exhaust the first 2 so that we don’t have to reach for the third.
