Cause and Effect

 

Consequences of poor decisions.

Many of the Star Trek spinoffs contain discrepancies from the original series canon. Those inconsistencies are justified by crafting a multitude of futures based on the effects of decisions that create an entirely unique timeline, arising from those disparate decisions. Each individual choice creates a new chronological set of outcomes. There is no limit to the choices or futures in this sci-fi theory. In the real world, individual choices produce only one set of outcomes. Our choices have consequences. Poor choices end badly. Wise decisions are often rewarded. Confronting law enforcement while armed is a very poor decision. If you comply, you will not die.

The civil unrest in Minneapolis is driven by several factors. Anarchist groups organize with the express goal of destabilizing society. Self-proclaimed social justice warriors see themselves as pursuing a just cause. Misguided individuals that join the mob are nothing more than useful idiots. Minnesota elected officials, suspected to be complicit in the $Billions of Somali fraud, incite violence with their anti-ICE rhetoric, perhaps to deflect further scrutiny into their actions, or lack thereof. So many of these protestors are not protesting an unjust government but simply aiding and abetting corrupt politicians.

“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” Abraham Lincoln.

Foot soldiers like Renee Good and Alex Pretti are used by the anarchists as pawns, with the strategy to sacrifice them to further their goals and drive public opinion against the rule of law. Did they die for a just cause? Absolutely not! The United States has the right to enforce duly enacted immigration laws. State and local governments have a duty to respect and cooperate with Federal immigration officials. By refusing to cooperate and obstruct ICE, State and local officials violate 18 U.S.C. ss 1501, a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in prison.

“Liberty may be endangered by the abuses of liberty as well as the abuses of power.” James Madison.

The right to peacefully protest is enshrined in the 1st Amendment. To obstruct or violently protest lawful enforcement actions is not. We are all faced with difficult decisions. Those who follow the law and endeavor to discern God’s will for us will prosper. Those who rely upon their own understanding and deny our Lord and Savior will not. The decision to rebel against worldly authority carries negative consequences to those who choose that path. If you comply, you will not die.

“Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which is from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God.  Consequently, whoever resists authority is opposing what God has set in place, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Do you want to be unafraid of the one in authority? Then do what is right, and you will have his approval.” Romans 3:1-3. 

Those virtue signaling liberals, that envision themselves as saving their fellow man, are protecting illegal aliens whose only contributions to society are committing criminal acts and increasing the national debt. We are witnessing the fall of the western world as elitist liberals elect leftist democrats to office so they can stand by and fiddle while Rome burns. Any reasonable person understands that the actions of the left, if allowed to fester, will overwhelm and destroy civil society. Leftists want to destroy this nation and if they ever gain power, they most certainly will. We need look no further than the out-of-control democrat run cities.

Evil is real and is evidenced by the once proud democrat party. It is imperative that good people reject democrats whole heartedly. Democrats that embrace leftist ideology must be voted out of office before they succeed in destroying this nation. Stand idly by, and you just may wake up to a nation you no longer recognize.

“People often say that, in a democracy, decisions are made by a majority of the people. Of course, that is not true. Decisions are made by a majority of those who make themselves heard and who vote - a very different thing.” Walter Judd.

Critical Mass

 

The left is inciting an insurrection.

The level of civil disobedience has reached an intensity necessary to set in motion a new civil war. Not the south versus the north, but this new war will pit the left versus the rule of law. Ground zero is Minneapolis where the state and local government has all but declared war on the Federal government. The rhetoric by the Minnesota democrats has poured gasoline on an already unhinged, leftist populace. There is an increase in a call to arms, to fight against the ICE “invaders” from leftist influencers to sitting democrat representatives. There will be no winners in this misguided attempt to somehow placate the leftist mob.

The left intends to overthrow the legitimate US government by causing strife and division. Capitalism will be replaced by socialism, which in turn will morph into communism, as it always does. The mob, so easily influenced by the lies propagated by the legacy media, taught in our public education system, and amplified by the democrat party, has volunteered as compliant foot soldiers, intent upon destroying the very society in which they reside and prosper. When the mob advances, logic and reason are abandoned. Individuals caught in in the mob mentality will commit acts that those individuals would likely never contemplate committing alone. Individuals are drawn along with the mob emboldened by agitators and provocateurs.

Now comes Alex Pretti, a RN that worked at the Minneapolis VA center and according to relatives, had never been in trouble with the law. They also said that he was especially upset with the immigration enforcement in Minneapolis. This man, with no criminal record, apparently incited by democrat leader’s rhetoric, decided to arm himself and confront ICE agents. Bad decision. Confronting law enforcement with a gun will not end well for you. During the altercation ICE agents shot and killed Mr. Pretti. Of course, a riot ensued. Attempting to “quell the violence,” Governor Walz and Mayor Frey accused ICE of murdering a US citizen, called up the Minnesota National Guard, and ordered ICE to leave the state. As expected, tensions only continued to rise, and some are predicting the city to burn as it did during the George Floyd riots.

Cooler heads must prevail. Unfortunately, Governor Walz stated that the ICE operation has reached an inflection point. It most certainly has, predominantly because of his and other democrat’s increasingly divisive rhetoric that has generated civil unrest. Additionally, Minnesota state and local leaders are embroiled in the Somali fraud investigation. Perhaps to distract the public from their malfeasance, they have chosen to rile up the populace. Governor Walz, Mayor Frey, and the Attorney General, Keith Ellison all have been implicated in the fraud scheme and have apparently received political donations from the Somali community. All three have the very real potential of facing criminal charges.

“Do not be deceived: God is not to be mocked. Whatever a man sows, he will reap in return.  The one who sows to please his flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; but the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.” Galatians 6:7-8

Do these democrat “leaders” even contemplate where their disruptive actions will lead or are they simply looking to gain power by any means necessary? Leftist ideology runs counter to a free and open society. The left is antithetical to democracy and a Constitutional Republic. The left is anti-freedom. The left will institute a tyrannical government if elected to power. Democrats have hitched their wagon to leftist ideology. The democrat party’s agenda leans far left, and most Americans reject leftist schemes. Most Americans reject socialism. Most Americans respect the rule of law. Most Americans support legal immigration and reject illegal immigration. Democrats have become a minority party, and most Americans should reject their policies. Democrats stand accused of rejecting God and standing with law breakers.

“God “will repay each one according to his deeds.” To those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow wickedness, there will be wrath and anger. Romans 2:6-8

In mid-term elections the party that holds the presidency usually loses seats in Congress. It is imperative that the 2028 mid-term elections buck that trend. If democrats gain the House, the Trump administration will no longer be able to properly conduct the people’s business, as democrats will obstruct, impeach, and grind any attempts to uncover waste and fraud to a halt. The United States is a country built upon Judeo-Christian beliefs. God is omnipresent in all our founding documents, yet democrats reject Him and embrace evil and disorder. Without God, this nation is doomed to failure.

“Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12
