The attack on Christianity intensifies.

The Supreme Court of Maine upheld a ruling from a lower court that prohibited a divorced mother of a 13-year-old girl from attending a Christian church, describing it as a cult. Emily Westbrook was denied the right to choose a school that instills a Christian education to her child. If that doesn’t send shivers down the back of the community of believers, nothing will. Calvary Chapel in Portland, Maine is your garden variety parochial school that provides the standard education fare while instilling Christian values to their students. This is not some far right, hell and brimstone sect that protests at the funerals of fallen soldiers.

From Global Christian Relief;

• 4,849 Christians were killed for their faith during the 2026 reporting period
• 388 million believers face high levels of persecution globally
• 224,129 Christians were internally displaced or became refugees
• 67,843 Christians were physically or mentally abused for faith-related reasons
• 15 countries now rank at "extreme" persecution levels, up from 13

It is time to wake up and understand that leftists are in league with Satan and are in the process of coming for the followers of Jesus Christ. It has been a slow and gradual shift, but the left has become very effective in villainizing their “enemies”. Christianity poses a grave threat to the left’s goal of fundamentally transforming this nation. Grace, forgiveness, truth, and love are antithetical to the invective spewed by the purveyors of democratic socialism, Marxism, and communism. Persecution is an expected result for those who practice what our Savior preached. But the extent of the assault on the religious freedom of Christians in the United States is stunning, and how it is advancing here is troubling.

In can only be described as “strange bedfellows,” democratic socialists align with the followers of Islam. Although Islam rejects a majority of the DSA platform, they are quite useful as they too denigrate Christianity and hate Jews. To the left, Christians equate to systemic racism, hate, white privilege, and exclusivity. That the two greatest commandments are to love God and your neighbor and forgiveness and mercy are paramount, are simply ignored by the left. To them, Christians are no more than knuckle dragging Bible thumpers that use Scripture as a bludgeon. While there certainly are Christians that fall into this category, Christ calls us to embrace a much different tact.

Jesus said, “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also; if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well; and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor’ and ‘Hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Do not even tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others?” Matthew 5:38-47.

According to Jesus, hate has no part in the life of His followers. Christianity, as Christ taught, is tolerant, loving, forgiving, and inclusive. God loves everyone of His children equally. In His eyes, no one is better than any other. Everyone is welcome to accept a place in heaven, just as everyone is free to reject salvation. Christianity is absolutely not a cult. All are free to accept the Father’s love, mercy, and grace along with His Son’s lifesaving sacrifice or reject it. Free will. The penalty for sin is death, but faith in the living Christ forfeits that penalty. Compared to other religions, Christianity is far from cult-like.

Marxism is a system that replaces God with the state and the ruling class that dictates how the people are to live. It eliminates freedom. It eliminates choice. It eliminates your chosen path to the pursuit of happiness. What we see happening in the streets of our nation is an exercise to pursue the cult of totalitarianism, falsely blanketed in the benign words, democratic socialism. We are experiencing the results of misguided voters electing leftists that are harming this nation. In turn, radicalized judges that disregard the rule of law are appointed to the bench and issue rulings that they have no authority to render. Conservatives rule according to the law; leftists rule according to ideology.

This November’s mid-term elections will determine the trajectory of this nation. We are at a tipping point in society. Socialism leads to Marxism that leads to communism. We cannot allow the left to triumph. We have the ability to shut this madness down, but that means we need to get to the polls and make our voices heard. We must reject the cult that is “democratic socialism.” Part of loving your enemy entails showing them the error of their way. Your vote is important. Don’t sit back and allow evil to win.

“But reject foolish and ignorant speculation, for you know that it breeds quarreling. And a servant of the Lord must not be quarrelsome, but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, and forbearing. He must gently reprove those who oppose him, in the hope that God may grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth. Then they will come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, who has taken them captive to his will.” 2 Timothy 2:23-26.

 

 

Deceived

 

The same bag of tricks.

History repeats if we fail to learn from past mistakes. There will always be the gullible that have the wool easily pulled over their eyes time and time again. Satan has always played from the same playbook with ever so slight variations designed to attack the same weaknesses, varying by humankind’s intellectual development and self-focused “enlightenment.” Our innate selfishness makes us an easy target for a number of strategic attacks by the evil one. Humankind most frequently violates the first commandment, placing ourselves and our needs first and relegating God to the back of the bus. The seven deadly sins are where evil lurks.

·         Pride – Interesting that the LGTBQ+ movement chose pride as their moniker and a rainbow for their logo. Showing utter distain for their maker, they thumb their collective noses at God. They are not alone in their contempt of God. Each of us on a daily basis turn inward to celebrate ourselves as we wallow in our pride. Far too often we believe our success is of our own doing, forgetting the fact that all we are, all we have, and the very world we inhabit are gifts from God. Our pride overwhelms us and drives our overly inflated opinion of ourselves.

“In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.” “In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes there is no God.” Psalm 10:2 and 4.

·         Envy – Coveting what others have earned is the driving force behind the Democratic Socialists of America’s platform. Class envy, racial animus, and sexual deviancy is the left’s calling card. Leftists are consumed with vilifying those they resent because they have achieved success. This powers their disdain of a society that rewards hard work and achievement. Capitalism is scorned by many of our young adults, while they have been convinced to believe that socialism is the proper way to achieve equality.

“Envy and jealousy stem from the fundamental inability to rejoice at someone else's happiness or success.” Matthieu Ricard.

·         Anger – Paid protesters and ill-informed “true believers” chant slogans that disparage their opponents but fail to provide a valid argument for their cause. Indoctrinated college students truly believe the drivel that Marxist professors have been foisting upon our youth for decades. Leftist women march for causes they fail to understand. Access to abortion, or what leftists call reproductive healthcare, drives women, who likely will never request an abortion, to the polls to elect “pro-choice” democrats to protect the right to murder the unborn, that also seek to fundamentally transform this nation.

“There needs to be understanding that anger never helps to solve a problem. It destroys our peace of mind and blinds our ability to think clearly. Anger and attachment are emotions that distort our view of reality.” Dalai Lama.

·         Overindulgence – 72.4% of Americans are considered overweight. In this land of plenty, we negatively impact our health by overeating. Now we have drugs that help us lose weight, drugs that also include some adverse effects. Reminds one of the vomitoriums in ancient Rome where people gorged on food, vomited so they could go back and gorge some more. Why adopt a healthy lifestyle when drugs can do the trick?

“Self-centered indulgence, pride and a lack of shame over sin are now emblems of the American lifestyle.” Billy Graham.

Lust – Today’s leftist democrat party is all about sexual deviancy in the name of compassion, tolerance, and acceptance. Drag queen story hour, curriculum that normalizes homosexuality for elementary students, and hyper sexualization of children through transgender ideology. This is one of the evil one’s most tried and true methods to widen the chasm between God and His children. Sex sells and capitalizing on humankind’s sexuality enables the left to further weaken the fabric of society and create division. Whether or not they realize it, the left is complicit in implementing Satan’s plan.

The foray into sexual deviancy has destroyed many nations without the necessity of an invading army to conquer it. Time and again, Satan uses our carnal appetites to tear apart society and create a new normal that is contrary to God’s will. Unfortunately, this strategy has ensnared many of God’s children.

“Carnal lust rules where there is no love of God.” Saint Augustine.

·         Laziness – A welfare work requirement for the able bodied, without children, is looked upon as a personal affront and a “white supremacy” issue. Able bodied persons should have a work requirement whether or not they are eligible for assistance. Our society no longer frowns upon those who choose to take a handout, even if it is not necessary. Our devices bring all the information that the internet provides, yet many get their information (usually mis or disinformation) from social media. Why read and research when you can mindlessly watch videos that tell you what to think?

“Laziness travels so slowly that poverty soon overtakes it.” Benjamin Franklin.

·         Greed – Socialists accuse those who have gained wealth through hard work and merit as being greedy. Socialists only want to take what is not theirs and what they have failed to earn. And what their ill-begotten gains will be spent on will be to the detriment of this nation. Christians are called to be radically generous, yet sharing what God has given us seems to elude so many. We can be generous with the gifts God has bestowed upon us.

“The vocabulary of the political left is fascinating. For example, it is considered to be 'materialistic' and 'greedy' to want to keep what you have earned. But it is 'idealistic' to want to take away what someone else has earned and spend it for your own political benefit or to feel good about yourself.” Thomas Sowell.

It should be more than apparent that the democrat party has hitched its wagon to the DSA, and in turn, has taken up the devil’s agenda. Democrats have become quite fond of declaring President Trump and the MAGA movement an existential threat to America. The real threat is a political party that is willing to make a deal with the devil in order to gain and maintain power. If democrats prevail in the 2026 mid-terms, it just may begin this nation’s fall from grace. The United States is a Christian majority nation. If you are willing to let this nation be overcome by evil, stay home in November. If you still believe in the shining city on a hill, cast your vote accordingly. With your help, freedom will live to see another day.

Give Them What They Want,

 

They will get what they deserve.

The headlong rush of our youth and factions of the democrat party into the fatal embrace of radical progressive socialism, or what is more commonly known as communism, is absolutely jaw dropping. The democrat party and the legacy media’s pursuit of the normalization of an ideology that is steeped with utter failure wherever it has been instituted is beyond reason. Democrats have made a deal with the devil, and it is going to cost them elections, and harm the nation as this movement picks up steam. Now that unabashedly communists are winning democrat primaries because incumbent democrats are not “woke” (crazy) enough.

The ultra-woke WNBA has their useful idiot players and coaches advocating for the inclusion of “trans” women in their basketball league after player Sophie Cunningham stated that women should play against women. Two former NBA players, who are now “self-identifying” as women, have declared themselves eligible for the WNBA draft. Check and mate! They will be damned if they do and damned if they don’t allow them to compete. This is also known as the law of unintended consequences. When those who are woefully uninformed decide to pontificate on issues that they lack the ability to understand, their words can have dire consequences. The WNBA will now be forced to acknowledge gender identity is not a social construct, or two former NBA stars will dominate the women’s game. Must see TV for me!

Francesca Hong, a self-avowed communista, is currently the front runner in the Wisconsin democrat Governor’s primary. She has declared that she hates Thanksgiving, wants to defund the police, abolish ICE, and accepts the platform of the Democratic Socialists of America, verbatim. When news media confronted her to explain her statements, she did what most democrats do, she lied and said her opinions had since “evolved.” This is exactly the type of candidate that defines the “big tent” democrat party that supports what 80% of the population opposes. Democrat Senator John Fetterman, the same person who suffered a debilitating stroke that left him barely able to communicate, has disavowed the radical leftist lean of his party. He has apparently fully recovered and gained a modicum of common sense that continues to elude the rest of his party.

If people are paying attention, democrats will pay a high price for ignoring the will of the electorate. Their insistence in promoting policies that a large majority of Americans oppose, should cost them numerous Congressional seats. In business, the customer is always right, particularly if your business depends upon return customers. Not so with politics. Politicians will push the envelope as far as necessary to ensure their re-election. The only reason that democrats have ventured into the uncharted territory of “democratic socialism” is that they think they can get away with it. Democrats view the electorate as uneducated masses that can be easily manipulated. They use words like affordability, equity, and fairness when their actions speak a very different language. Even though democrat policies fail to meet their promises, some still take them at their word. And that is exactly why this existential threat to our nation has emerged and is thriving.

The democrat party’s foray into “democratic socialism” is just another lie perpetrated by a party that has lost its way. “Never let a crisis go to waste.” “The ends justify the means.” “The rich need to pay their fair share.” “The world will end in 12 years if climate change is not addressed.” “No kings!” The democrat party has foisted lie upon lie to a gullible electorate. It is truly amazing, with all the information available at our fingertips, that so many have been fooled for so long. The left has been very effective in their propaganda wing, championed by the legacy media, academia, and public instruction. The indoctrination of our youth and the leftist talking heads have created a generation of low-information automatons that are trained to do the bidding of those who would destroy this nation.

Far too many have sat on the sidelines and bemoaned the state of our union. The threat to our constitutional republic is a clear and present danger. If the Democratic Socialist of America succeed in commandeering the democrat party, they will be coming for America. It is not too late to stop them. It is not too late to elect representatives that share traditional values. It is not to late to get off the couch and make your voice heard. Use to power of your vote to make a definitive statement and reject the policies of hate, divisiveness, and envy.

“The goal of socialism is communism.” Vladimir Lenin.

Infringed

 

One person’s rights cannot interfere with another’s.

“In talking about human rights today, we are referring primarily to the following demands: protection of the individual against arbitrary infringement by other individuals or by the government; the right to work and to adequate earnings from work; freedom of discussion and teaching; adequate participation of the individual in the formation of his government. These human rights are nowadays recognized theoretically, although, by abundant use of formalistic, legal maneuvers, they are being violated to a much greater extent than even a generation ago.” Albert Einstein.

“Trans rights are human rights.” “Black lives matter.” “Affirmative action.” “LGTBI+ rights.” Worker’s rights.” One person’s “rights” cannot supersede another’s rights. One person’s rights cannot negate the rights of another individual. A “right” is to be equally applied. No one can demand special dispensation in the application of his or her rights. Yet that is exactly what the left demands. Arbitrary application and acknowledgement of special privileges to those deemed favored by the mob. The oppressed vs. the oppressors. The aggrieved vs. the subjugators. The have-nots vs. the haves. Poor vs. rich. Black vs. white. It’s getting hard to keep track of all the aggrieved classes.

Each victimized class has one thing in common; They blame everyone but themselves for whatever woes they believe are afflicting them.

·         Reparations are demanded by African Americans for slavery that none of them endured, to be paid by those who never participated in that evil.

·         Taxes are demanded to combat climate change from countries that have reduced emissions exponentially, while China and India, that pollute with impunity, are exempt.

·          Mentally ill persons who engage in the fantasy of gender reassignment demand acknowledgement of chosen pronouns and acceptance of their delusional behavior. And virtue signaling leftists advocate for trans rights.

·          Affirmative action was deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, so the left infuses DEI into the nation’s consciousness, disregarding merit and skill.

·          Entrepreneurs invest time, money, and talent, risking their finances to create wealth, products, and jobs while the Democrat Socialists of America advocate to redistribute that wealth in a fairer and more “equitable” manner.

The Marxist playbook uses the same tired strategy that demonizes those they oppose and pits person against person. Marxism destroys unity and fosters an environment of distrust. As long as enough people fall prey to ideology of hatred of their fellow man, Marxism can grow and thrive. And it has gathered quite a throng of believers. What was once a discredited ideology has gained traction among the 18-25 demographic. This newfound popularity helped elect an Islamist-Communist as Mayor of New York City and other avowed Marxists have defeated several long-tenured democrat representatives in Ohio, Colorado, and California. In Wisconsin the leading democrat candidate for Governor is a self-proclaimed Marxist-communist.

This societal drift has been enabled due to the apathy on steroids that has gripped the nation. Social media, with algorithms that rinse and repeat your favorite viewing patterns, has become the primary source of “news” for many people. Some are more interested in the rantings of influencers than paying attention to what really matters. For Marxism to thrive, the masses must be distracted from the priorities that enable a free society to survive. For communism to take root, God must be eliminated from the equation. For freedom to be destroyed, envy, one of the seven deadly sins, must be embraced by the populace. Accepting the premise that taking what is not yours and that which you did not earn, fuels the engine of “democratic socialism.”

A right relationship with Jesus Christ must be first and foremost in our lives. Living a life following Him will emphasize what matters most. Loving your neighbor will enable each of us to value our human rights without denying other people’s rights. My rights are no more important than any other’s and if imposing my rights on others violates their rights, I am in the wrong. Marxism will violate the human rights of those deemed subordinate, productive members of society, by the proletariat. Marxism is real. Marxism is here. Marxism will take over if we fail to awaken from our slumber. Marxism can be stopped and relegated to where it belongs, the trash heap of history.

We can make a statement this November. We can choose to reject the leftward lean of the democrat party. It is up to us to defeat Marxism. You can choose to be part of the solution, or you can sit by and let this nation fall. What say you?

”Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves and the only way they could do this is by not voting.” Franklin D. Roosevelt.

 

Crazy

 

We allowed this to happen.

”History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Too busy to pay attention to the leftward drift of our schools. Too busy to get involved in local politics, especially school boards. Someone else can do the heavy lifting. Excuse after excuse. Our failure to adhere to our civic responsibilities has allowed Marxist professors to instill their leftist ideology into teachers, who in turn indoctrinate our children. Woke school boards and leftist administrators enable values and morals most Americans oppose to be infused into the next generation. All this while we sit back and acquiesce to this cultural drift from normalcy to crazy. There is good reason that Marxists gave up their goal of a violent revolution and instead concentrated their efforts on infiltrating academia. It is, and continues to be, an effective strategy to create dissention and chaos, with the ultimate goal of destabilizing society.

“All who have meditated on the art of governing mankind have been convinced that the fate of empires depends on the education of youth.” Aristotle

The gravest threat to a free nation is an apathetic population. When good people fail to exercise their constitutional right to cast a vote for their representatives, bad people are elected. When good people don’t pay attention, evil thrives. When good people fail to stand up against evil, that evil will overwhelm them. We the people have the power to hold the powerful accountable. It is with your vote that people who uphold the Constitution, who are servant leaders that place others first, and share your common values are put into office. The founding fathers were wise when our Constitutional Republic was formed. It is our responsibility to keep it.

“When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind. When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men must commit themselves to the glories of love.” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The rise of “democratic socialism” or what truly is Marxism, has been enabled by our lack of courage to oppose it. The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) embrace the same goals as does radical Islam; to destabilize the west and institute their chosen form of government. Yet, the legacy media obfuscates the danger posed by these radical ideologies. They support all things left and denigrate traditional values, shaming those who cherish merit, normalcy, and the nuclear family. Leftist ideology is tearing apart the fabric of society. The embrace of Marxism by our indoctrinated young people will end this nation as we know it if we allow it.

“It is in the interest of tyrants to reduce the people to ignorance and vice. For they cannot live in any country where virtue and knowledge prevail. The religion and public liberty of a people are intimately connected; their interests are interwoven, they cannot subsist separately; and therefore, they rise and fall together. For this reason, it is always observable, that those who are combined to destroy the people's liberties, practice every art to poison their morals.” Samuel Adams.

Quite possibly one of the greatest prophesies from one of our founding fathers. This leftist “woke” ideology promotes the notion that gender is a social construct and is as fluid as the Great Lakes. LGBTQ+RSTUVWXYZ is endorsed as good, right, and salutary to the public while leftist teachers encourage children to experiment with alternate genders and sex roles. Sex sells and deviant sex is apparently that which fuels the leftist agenda. As our youth is inundated with this woke BS, many are falling prey and believe that they are fighting for right. Unfortunately, our youth can only parrot phrases that will never be true.

“Leftists are activists. This is a strategy. Liberalism, communism, socialism, you don't need to go too deep - a peripheral study of Marxism. And you'll learn that Marxism, leftism, liberalism, they have long-term strategies for taking over and controlling whole populations. It is their objective.” Rush Limbaugh.

President Trump is decried as a tyrant at “No Kings” rallies, while Marxists occupy the throne, directing their “useful idiot” automatons to do their dirty work, bought and paid by billionaire Marxists like George Soros and Neville Roy Singham. The enemy is no longer at the gate; it has infiltrated every aspect of our society. Every policy espoused by these Marxists leads to one desired outcome; destabilization and the destruction of society that leads to the destruction of democracy. What was once unthinkable is now mainstream, promoted by the leftist legacy media and the democrat party. Allow democrats to regain power and we will get what we deserve; the fall of the shining city on a hill.

“People are eternally divided into two classes, the believer, builder, and praiser...and the unbeliever, destroyer and critic.” John Ruskin.

This is your nation, the last great bastion of freedom in the world. Don’t let the wicked destroy this one nation under God.

 

Too big not to Fail

 

Lack of oversight facilitates fraud.

Total federal spending in 2000 was $1.789 Trillion. Fast forward 25 years and federal spending has ballooned to $7.010 Trillion, almost quadrupling. The size and scope of the federal government has exceeded its ability to monitor and manage its vast tentacles as it attempts to impact every aspect of our lives. And some are just fine with that. There is no government spending program that democrats do not believe is absolutely essential, or that is too frivolous, in their efforts to spend our tax dollars. Case in point; USAID. Billions of tax dollars wasted on programs, with little or no oversight, that did nothing to actually fulfill the role in which it was created. Yet, democrats fought tooth and nail for each and every wasteful spending adventure in transgender education for Sudan and the like.

Oversight for this spending lies with Congress. 535 members cannot conduct the appropriate oversight with the scope of a government that surpasses understanding. The nearest star to the earth, Proxima Centauri, is 4.24 light years away, or approximately 25 trillion miles. Federal spending this year, if dollars were substituted with miles, would get us almost 1/3 of the way to Proxima Centauri. The Federal debt is over $37Trillion, or 12 trillion miles beyond our nearest star. Wrapping one’s head around the vastness of those numbers is almost beyond the capacity of human ability. Factor in the deep state’s desire to protect themselves from oversight and with programs that basically write blank checks, and you get a recipe for disaster with an avenue for rampant fraud.

Washington is the epitome of “pay for play.” You scratch my back by facilitating a contract with my firm and you get rewarded with a $6-7 figure job in the private sector when you retire. Many of our elected “representatives” have accrued wealth far beyond their salary accumulation, precisely because they know how to use their status for gain. This DC two-step is not solely a one-party problem, it is widespread throughout local, State, and Federal government, with elected officials and bureaucrats benefiting alike. There is no rational explanation for career politicians amassing such wealth, other than they are receiving illicit payments. And why would so many of our elected representatives resist passing legislation that prohibits “insider” stock trading by Congress?

For Marxism to take root and spread, capitalism must be dismantled. One strategy is to spend the government into oblivion. In 1966, leftist sociologists Richard Cloward and Francis Fox-Piven developed a plan to generate societal chaos by overwhelming the welfare system. This Cloward-Piven Strategy opens the door to the creation of a federal program of income redistribution. It then becomes necessary to subsidize even more of the poor once the welfare system collapses. The term “stimulus” is simply a pretense for income redistribution. The government takes from producers and gives to nonproducers, increasing dependency on federal government support. A representative government is replaced with an elite ruling class, a tyrannical autocracy that makes the rules and has the sole power to enforce them. Sound familiar? It is part and parcel of the Democrat Socialists of America (DSA) policy platform.

This is the AOC/Bernie Sanders wing of the democrat party, one that “mainstream” democrats have little issue with as they fail to distance themselves from its radical policies. Any port in the storm when your primary goal is to seek, gain and maintain power and authority. If it increases odds of a democrat takeover, to them, that is a path well taken, no matter the consequences to this nation. The current democrat party is wholly unrecognizable from the party of JFK. Today’s Republican party is more representative of the “blue dog democrats” that placed country over party, than today’s democrats that will abandon their responsibility to constituents just to undermine President Trump.

Placing some of our representatives in charge of managing oversight for $Trillions in Federal spending, is like making a fox responsible for guarding the henhouse. Tax dollars go out the door to pet programs and money returns to the democrat national committee (DNC) via non-profits and NGO’s that were tasked to manage and distribute the funds to the “worthy” causes. Smurfs were utilized by the democrat fundraising site Act Blue to launder $Millions to democrat causes and candidates. Investigations continue that may lead to the discovery of tax dollars earmarked for USAID programs and money sent to Ukraine to aid in their war effort against Russia, that was redirected to the DNC in millions of donations small enough to evade detection by the Federal Election Commission.

This fraud is happening in plain sight, discovered by independent journalists, like Nick Shirley and James OKeefe, that are not in the pocket of the democrat party as is most of the legacy media. But there is a solution available to every US citizen. The opportunity to win this fight against dishonest politicians occurs every other year. We the people hold the key to hold the wicked accountable. Your informed vote can put good people into office, just as it can remove those who betray the public trust. Democrats, as constituted, have betrayed their duty to represent the public and must be voted out of office. We the people have the duty to elect those who understand their obligation as public servants. We also have the duty to remove those who do not. Make your vote count this November.

 

 

Biased

 

US history has been deliberately distorted.

On the 250^th anniversary of the founding of this great nation, many of our young people are disillusioned, ashamed of our sordid past. We have endured decades of leftist academia indoctrinating our youth with the lie that America is inherently flawed due to its past sins of slavery and racism. That America is a colonizer, reaping its riches on the backs of the oppressed. Many young people have accepted this propaganda as fact. Capitalism is decried as an unfair system that rewards the few at the expense of the many. Young people are susceptible to the siren call of socialism, taught as a fairer and more equitable system. That lie is repeated over and over, so “systemic racism enforced by a white patriarchal system” is believed to be an accurate assessment of our society.

·         Is our history of slavery and racial bias unique?

·         Is what has been and is being taught historically accurate?

·         And how do our sins stack up against the rest of the world?

Slavery was abolished after the Civil War in 1865. Europe ended slavery well before. The rest of the Americas ended slavery a few years earlier with the exception of Brazil, which ended it in 1888. Much of Africa, the Middle East, and the Far East continued slavery well into the 20^th Century, with China still employing forced labor of Uyghur Muslim minorities and Tibetans. Other than the European nations, slavery in the United States ended at relatively the same time as other nations, making us no worse than much of the planet.

Racism in the United States, particularly in the south, was pervasive and borderline criminal. Following the Civil Rights Act of 1964, opposed fervently by southern democrats and passed by Republicans, racial equality began to take root into American society. Other nations practiced racism in a quite different manner. Where American minorities were subjected primarily to economic discrimination, other countries eliminated those who were different. Genocide and ethnic cleansing has occurred throughout history, including Armenians in Azerbaijan, Muslim Rohingyas in Myanmar, Ukrainians by Russia, the Yazidis in Iraq and Syria, the Fur, Masalit, and Zaghawa in Darfur, and the Bambuti pigmies in the Congo, and these occurred after the onset of the 21^st Century. Millions have been murdered or executed due to racism or religion worldwide since the dawn of humans. American “systemic” racism pales in comparison.

The radicals of the 60’s reconfigured their strategies to overthrow the government of the United States. Instead of committing violent acts, they targeted academia. Radical professors have indoctrinated a veritable army of young converts. Public education is rife with teachers that have “learned” the ways of leftism and are teaching our children a new set of values. These “teachers” have sowed seeds of division by undermining the freedoms endowed by our Creator, exhorting these young people to hate themselves and others. Leftist ideology has unduly influenced generations of young people to embrace illegal immigration, transgenderism, antisemitism, socialism and hatred of American values. This shift leftward of our society has left us vulnerable to Marxist vultures circling, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Marxists looking to consolidate power employ these indoctrinated pawns as an army of mindless automatons to promote their agenda. They use the age-old strategy of addition by division, creating an oppressor-oppressed, victim-victimizer, have and have-not argument to bolster their quest to institutionalize democratic socialism. One of the seven deadly sins that continually plagues humankind is envy, and class envy is the fuel that nourishes the engine of socialism.

Also benefiting from our young people’s self-loathing are the Muslims. Taking full advantage of our welcoming and tolerance, they position themselves to obtain positions in government. Once in power, those useful idiots that opened the door for their ascension, are left behind as Sharia law factors into the equation. Europe is discovering the insidiousness of the Muslim plan for dominance. Muslims refuse to assimilate into the culture that they have emigrated. They adhere to their own customs while refusing to acknowledge their responsibility as guests by treating their benefactors with disrespect. While Americans point fingers at each other as we try to out-virtue signal each other, Marxists and Muslims, strange bedfellows, sit ready to pounce. If we ignore the danger in plain sight, we will soon wake up to find a country that no longer resembles the land of the free.

Marxism and Islam are both a clear and present threat and must be defeated. President Trump was correct, the United States will never be a socialist nation, unless we allow it to happen. Sharia law has been instituted in portions of some blue cities. If you want burkha clad women to become the norm, ignore the Muslim threat. Immigrants that refuse to assimilate, abuse the hospitality offered them, and seek to change the culture should be sent back to their country of origin on the next available plane. Those who reside in America, yet hate it, have worn out their welcome. We cannot allow radical minorities create policy for the majority.

The ballot box is the most powerful tool for a representative republic. We have the power to elect representatives that are God fearing and adhere to traditional values. We have the power to be an informed electorate that elect those who would serve, not abuse their authority. Traditional values reprise the majority in this nation, yet our representatives include those who do not and seek to benefit themselves. Pervasive apathy has led to a government that serves itself rather than the people. Vote appropriately and make certain that everyone that you know that holds your values casts their vote this November.

“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.

 

Destruction Wrought

 

Democrats have opened Pandora’s Box and don’t know how to close it.

In their never-ending quest to gain and maintain power, democrats have opened a door toward their own destruction. Fomenting hatred against traditional values and meritocracy, they have conspired with academia, public education, and the legacy media to normalize “democratic socialism.” Democrats have embraced socialism, a strategy that they believe will enable them to retake Congress in the 2026 mid-terms. It will do nothing of the sort. What it has done is given Marxists and avowed communists a platform that validates the “benefits” of socialism and has, undoubtably, led to its rise. 62% of Americans between the ages of 18 and 25 now have a favorable opinion of socialism.

“You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright, but we'll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you'll finally wake up and find you already have communism. We won't have to fight you. We'll so weaken your economy until you'll fall like overripe fruit into our hands.” Said Nikita Khrushchev, leader of the Soviet Union during the height of the Cold War.

Openly committed communists and avowed Marxists have won democrat primaries in New York, Washington, and Colorado, displacing long serving democrats. Too late to put the genie back in the bottle. Young people have been seduced by the allure of free stuff, antisemitism, anti-capitalism, and the America is inherently evil drumbeat from the left and have cast their ballots for up-and-coming leftists. These young people are the future of this nation. And democrats, other than John Fetterman, speak loudly with their silence that, apparently, concurs with those who seek to destroy this nation.

The following is the platform of the Democrat Socialists of America;

Medicare for all – Obamacare has been a total disaster. Why not let the government run all of healthcare.

End the war on drugs – Legalize all dangerous drugs. Take a look at Philadelphia where drug use runs rampant and the police avoid the area.

Fight mass incarceration and police brutality – Let every criminal out of prison. They certainly won’t reoffend and terrorize the community. Unjust force by police is rare and prosecuted.

College for all – “Free” furthering education will be paid for by those who are working to provide for their families.

Housing for all – Again, those who are productive will be funding this scheme.

Support working class families – Seems as if working class families will be stretched financially paying taxes for all the free stuff for the unproductive.

32-hour work week – See how that is working in Europe. Productivity has fallen exponentially.

Union power – Unions have their place. They are to be a check on corporations and to provide protection for the workers. But they have outlived their usefulness. Unions tend to create animosity between the worker and company. They discourage a partnership or symbiotic relationship where both parties benefit. Union leaders have become corrupt and support politics that union members oppose.

Tax the rich – Taking all the wealth in this nation will only fund these pipe dreams for a few years until all the money is spent. Then the government will print more money that becomes more and more worthless, leading to hyperinflation, shortages of basic necessities, and a decrease in everyone’s quality of life, expect for the leaders. See Venezuela, Iran, the failed Soviet Union, and any other nation that has seized the means of production.

Green new deal – China, India, and southeast Asia will have more fossil fuel to burn without any restrictive emission requirements.

Free Palestine – End Israel and wipe the Jewish nation from the face of the earth. Support terrorism that seeks to destroy western society.

End the US war machine – President Trump already ended the failed “nation building” policies of previous administrations. No more boots on the ground to force feed democracy to the third world.

No more economic warfare – No idea what they are talking about. Everyone in this nation can succeed no matter where they start. “If you work hard and meet your responsibilities, you can get ahead, no matter where you come from, what you look like or who you love.” — Barack Obama

Freedom of movement – An end to borders, unlimited immigration.

Universal suffrage – Illegals, criminals, and anyone within our borders can vote.

A representative Congress – Representatives will better reflect the diversity of color in the nation and will answer to the ruling proletariat.

Popular vote for President – Populace cities and states will determine the President. Those of you in fly-over country will have no say.

Reduce the power of the Supreme Court – Especially since they are adhered to the rule of law and would be likely to find most of their fantasies unconstitutional.

President Donald Trump gave his State of the Union address in 2019 and said that America will never be a socialist country. Democrats are trying their best to make that statement false. If we sit by idly and fail to take the threat of socialism seriously, it will overwhelm us. So far, only the fools in overwhelmingly democrat areas are electing people that would destroy the very lives of those they seek to represent. If we fail to honor our citizenship responsibilities and sit home, instead of voting, we will get what we deserve. Socialism is a failure, in any form, and must be defeated. We have the power to do so if we choose to exercise it.

“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” Winston Churchill

Weak Minded

 

Useful idiots abound on the left.

Jaxson Dart, the starting quarterback for the New York Giants, made the fatal mistake of introducing the President of the United States, Donald Trump at a rally for Republican Mike Lawlar in New York. This set off a firestorm of athletes and celebrities condemning him for his “lack of judgment.” These useful idiots that could not articulate a valid reason for their Trump Derangement Syndrome, is prima facie evidence of just how easily they have been manipulated by mainstream media and democrat party talking points. Apparently, to these ill-informed morons, anything conservative is to be mocked and demeaned. To them, only democrats and great thinkers like Kamala Harris are to be celebrated and supported.

The WNBA, a women’s basketball league that is finally becoming semi-popular because of the popularity of Caitlin Clark. The rest of the league, a bunch of semi-athletic women, are so jealous of Clark’s skillset and notoriety, that there is evidence that some players deliberately attempt to cause her injury. One of their players, Briana Turner, speaks out against the WNBA’s decision to wear “USA 250” on the uniforms during their All-Star weekend because she is ashamed of America’s history of slavery and women’s suffrage. Lefties can not only be useful idiots, many of them are also misinformed ingrates.

In their TDS brain fog, leftists and virtue signaling liberals parrot easily debunked accusations against President Trump. Anyone who presents facts that utterly destroy their false narratives are shouted down or the smug, misguided leftist refuses to engage and walks away. The democrat party is the gravest threat to our Constitutional Republic as they have aligned themselves with leftist ideology. The democrat party champions whatever they believe helps them obtain and maintain power, even if it means falling in league with America hating cabals. Leftists want nothing less than the destruction of this nation and the freedoms it affords its citizens.

If you do not understand the clear and present danger posed by the left, please read this piece Victor Davis Hansen wrote for the New York Post on August 8^th, 2023, “Ten insidious ways that the left has seized and warped the US.” read here. They have only strengthened their grip on western society in the three years since. Yet, those low information voters continue to support those who would destroy the very freedoms we all cherish.

On June 16^th, 2026, Vice President JD Vance appeared on “The View.” Co-host Whoopi Goldberg pressed Vance to answer for her assertion that the Trump administration unfairly targeted persons of color and removed “all kinds of black heroes” from museums and places of honor. Vance asked her to provide specifics so that he could properly address them. Goldberg unsurprisingly, could not cite a single specific instance. Quick, cut to commercial as she stuttered and stammered in her failure to respond. This is a tried and successful strategy for leftists. Attack using generalizations that superficially support your narrative, since any specifics can be easily discredited as lacking merit. The legacy media will back you up while nodding approvingly. They are only interested in follow-up and “gotcha” questions for conservatives, not challenging the obvious lies spewed by democrats and their allies.

Acquiesce to the left and watch our nation fall. Do nothing and the left will destroy our way of life. We the people still have the power to stop this madness. We the people are still in the majority. We the people can use the power of our vote to demand a return to normalcy. If anyone decides to sit out elections and let the left take over this nation, they must wake up before it is too late and it is our responsibility to awaken them!

Accountable

 

Obama intentionally fostered divisiveness and society is paying the price.

In a perfect world, the color of one’s skin would not become the primary identifying factor for individuals. In a perfect world, we would view all members of the human race as brothers and sisters. In a perfect world, nations would be united under the common cause of loving one another as Christ loved us. Unfortunately, our world is broken. Our world has neglected the One who created all things and we have become enamored of the things of this world. Our former and continuing divider in chief, Barack Obama, never ceases to use any opportunity to further divide the nation.

Prior to Obama’s 8 years in the White House, we were well on the way to overcoming our sordid past and evolving into a color-blind society. Once our first black president was elected, it was expected that the racial divide would finally become but a distant and faint memory. But Obama chose to shine a spotlight on our differences and revert back into the community agitator that he truly was. He used his bully pulpit to make certain that any and all racial animosity would be resurrected from the dead and positioned as a fundamental issue into the nation’s collective consciousness. “The police officer acted stupidly,” “If I had a son he would look like Trayvon.” For Obama, there were few incidents that race did not play a prominent role.

One of Jesus’ most important commands was forgiveness. Jesus said, “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. / But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive yours.” Matthew 6:14-15.

Our history is not pretty, but it is no worse than other nations. Slavery and racism were not confined to America. Those detestable acts were part and parcel of developing nations throughout the history of the world. Far too many have lost their lives for far less than what happened during our history. If we dwell upon the past, it can, not only define us, but it can overwhelm us, acting as a cudgel that destroys a right relationship with God.

“Forgiveness is unlocking the door to set someone free and realizing you were the prisoner!” Max Lucado.

Karmello Anthony, a 17-year-old African American high school student athlete, decided to enter a tent of an opposing team at a track meet armed with a knife. He was looking for an excuse to use his weapon. When asked to leave the tent by a 17 year old white student athlete Austin Metcalf, Anthony responded, “Touch me and see what happens.” After a brief altercation, Anthony stabbed Metcalf in the chest killing him. Anthony has since been convicted and sentenced to 35 years in prison. The African American community, especially some of the leaders, are outraged, accusing “the white dominated system” of making an example of Anthony because he is black. When you enter hostile territory and arm yourself with a knife, your self-defense strategy is defective.

The Obama administration championed undeserved scrutiny against law enforcement and defended accused persons of color to recompense past grievances. The President of the United States defended those practices and directed his DOJ to enforce them. That has incited racially charged incidents into needless confrontations that often escalate to violence. The implementation of DEI and CRT further bolster this grievance and entitlement culture among minorities. Virtue-signaling liberal elites, predominantly white, use their influence to further the lie of an unjust, white male patriarchy that systemically instills racism at all levels of society. This helps create the aura of unaccountability for persons who believe they are resisting an unjust and unfair society.

Democrats manipulate those who accept the grievance culture narrative and who want “their fair share” as reparations for past injustices. Democrats can rely on receiving votes from the “underclass” that they have created for themselves by using government largesse as inducements. Even though most receiving those benefits remain trapped in poverty, they falsely believe that democrats are more compassionate and reward them with their votes.

“Their false compassion is called compassion and their false understanding is called understanding, for this is their most potent spell.” Aleister Crowley.

Democrats are the ultimate manipulators. Democrats not only love hypocrisy; they revel in it. Democrats will use any strategy to gain and maintain power, no matter who they destroy in the process. For democrats, those foolish enough to vote them into office are just that, fools they care not about until it is election time.

“We live in a world where unfortunately the distinction between true and false appears to become increasingly blurred by manipulation of facts, by exploitation of uncritical minds, and by the pollution of the language. Arne Tiselius.

Until democrats reject the leftist ideology that has overtaken their party, they must be rejected at the ballot box. Until democrats agree to uphold their oath of office, submit to the rule of law, and advocate for the truth, they cannot and must not hold positions of authority. It is time for our Constitutional Republic to be restored as one nation, under God. In order to have an environment where we can seek a better life, enjoy liberty, and be free to pursue happiness, democrats and their leftist cohorts must be soundly rejected.

Moral Clarity

 

Surviving in an immoral society.

“Do not love the world or anything that belongs to the world. If you love the world, you do not love the Father. Everything that belongs to the world—what the sinful self desires, what people see and want, and everything in this world that people are so proud of—none of this comes from the Father; it all comes from the world. The world and everything in it that people desire is passing away; but those who do the will of God live forever. 1 John 2:15-17.

The shift in societal norms, predominantly driven by leftist ideology, is at odds with God’s will. An angry and selfish society, encouraged by the rantings of the leftist media, Marxist academia, and the democrat party, is the perfect breeding ground for leftist ideology to thrive. An epidemic of selfishness has spread that requires a rejection of traditional morality and Christian values, to be replaced with worldly “wokeness.” Misguided individuals have confused virtue signaling with altruism, leading many young people to embrace socialism, that excludes rather than benefits its supporters. 62% of today’s 18–29-year-olds have a favorable view of socialism. Scary stuff! Socialism breeds Marxism, that leads to communism. All three have embedded in their tenets, animosity toward God, capitalism, and meritocracy.

Christians enduring in this world in which we live without falling prey to the evils of the world is not as difficult as it may seem. While it is often far too easy to “go along to get along,” we are called to be that beacon of truth and light in this world. Traditional, or normal values, fall in line with God’s will. For too long, we have acquiesced to the manipulation that the left has imposed with guilt shaming. Our inaction has led to the subversion of the very fabric of civil society. Too afraid to be called homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic, or any of the other phobias leftists use to accuse and shame, we stand down, denying our Lord and Savior. The rededication of this nation to its founding principles as one nation under God, is a step in the right direction.

Not only does our nation need to return to God, His people are in dire need of returning to Him. There is nothing more important than our relationship with Jesus Christ and we need to start acting as if it really is not most important thing in our life. We need to normalize our conversations and no longer be timid about our Christianity. There is no other way to the Father but through faith in the living Christ. If we hide our faith, we ignore Christ’s command in the Great Commission to make disciples of all nations.

“Then Jesus called the crowd to Him along with His disciples, and He told them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and for the gospel will save it.

What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?  Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?  If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in His Father’s glory with the holy angels.” Mark 8:34-38.

Making disciples is not about confrontation. Making disciples is not proving that you are right. Making disciples is not about excluding those who do not believe. Making disciples is all about reaching the lost, engaging in real conversation, listening, and asking those questions that can help turn them toward Christ.

 

Really?

 

California democrats show their true colors.

Independent investigative reporter Nick Shirley did the job that mainstream media “journalists” refused to do. He dug deep and discovered vast amounts of fraudulent activity in the Minneapolis Somali community that bilked taxpayers of $Billions. Shirley has continued to follow other leads as he investigates and reports on similar cases of fraud in Ohio and California. The democrat led California Legislature just passed a bill criminalizing the exact type of investigative reporting that Shirley has conducted. Apparently, defrauding the federal government is right, good, and salutary for California democrats. Your tax dollars are to be exploited however democrats see fit.

Ballot counting continues from Tuesday’s primary election. It appears that the “jungle primary” will not finish with two Republicans moving on to the regular election for governor in November. Had that happened, California legislators, in a fit of raw partisan hypocrisy, were poised to change the rules, mid-stream, to maintain “fairness,” even though the jungle primary was enacted specifically to benefit democrats. As for the Los Angeles mayor’s primary race, mail in ballots continue to be dropped and the interloper candidate, Spencer Pratt, fails to garner any votes from those drops. All too convenient you say? Democrats will stop at nothing to maintain power.

In New York, the democrat legislature is attempting to eliminate the nuclear family. New legislation identifying mothers as “gestating parent” and fathers as “non-gestating parent.” This out-of-control wokeness legislation would also redefine paternity as “parentage” and deadbeat fathers or putative father to “alleged parent.” A similar attempt by democrat Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers to redefine mothers as “inseminated persons” in his budget proposal went up in flames. The democrat party’s infatuation with gender identity is mind-boggling, especially since 70-80% of the populace opposes this insanity.  

From Reform California is a list of some of the 2025 California legislatures most egregious bills;

1. AB 1333 – would make self-defense illegal by allowing an individual to be charged with a crime for defending themselves from a criminal.
2. AB 1421 – would impose a costly mileage tax on all CA drivers – costing $900 to $1200 a year on top of the nation’s highest gas and car taxes.
3. AB 49 – would prohibit ICE from going onto school property to conduct enforcement, protecting criminals instead of kids.
4. AB 916 – would ban hand soap and body wash containing disinfectant or antiseptic ingredients - after encouraging their use during the pandemic.
5. AB 766 – would force state agencies to shove Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) goals into their strategic plans.
6. AB 681 – would give undocumented students up to $140,000 in taxpayer funded loans—while actual citizens get nothing comparable to that.
7. AB 309 – would provide free needles to drug users across the state, encouraging substance abuse instead of addressing it.
8. AB 554 – would force insurers to cover HIV prevention drugs like PrEP, which works like a condom, treating personal choices as an insurance obligation.
9. AB 715 – would allow attorneys who break the law in other states to continue practicing in California, no matter what crimes they’ve committed.
10. AB 471 – would increase pay for local politicians, putting taxpayer money into the pockets of already overpaid elected officials.
11. ACA 2 – would guarantee gold-plated pensions for politicians, ensuring politicians have a cushy retirement while taxpayers’ foot the bill.
12. AB 56 – would force social media platforms to warn you about dangers every day— more nanny state nonsense.
13. AB 446 – would ban businesses from using personal data to adjust their prices, even though the government does the same by charging different rates based on income.
14. AB 475 – would ban requiring prisoners in state prisons to do basic work like cleaning, laundry, and cafeteria work.
15. AB 1187 – would require anyone wanting to buy a gun to attend an eight-hour training course every time they purchase one.
16. SB 281 – would vacate criminal convictions for non-citizens if they weren’t warned about deportation risks—an automatic get-out-of-jail-free card.
17. AB 397 – would provide child tax credits for undocumented individuals up to age 18, rewarding illegal behavior and draining taxpayer resources.
18. AB 435 – would increase the age requirement for securing children in a baby seat from 8 to 13 years old.
19. AB 891 – would convert already cramped highway lanes into bicycle lanes.
20. AB 954 – would divert gas tax revenue, which was initially promised to be used for road maintenance, to fund bicycle lane construction.

California is a microcosm of all that is wrong with the democrat party. If democrats are allowed to gain majorities in Congress in the mid-terms this November, these are the types of policies that will be enacted into law for all of us. Heaven help us if a democrat wins the presidency in 2028 and has a democrat-controlled Congress. Republicans are far from perfect, but the alternative is a disaster waiting to happen.

Confirmation Bias

 

When one refuses to listen….

The cancel culture embraced by the left are indicative of a much greater societal disease.
“Settled” science, Trump derangement syndrome, capitalism=evil, socialism=compassion, pro-Palestine-antisemitism, and men can be women requires the intentional rejection of rational thought. Lack of constructive discourse leads to the siloization of opinion and the villainization of those opposing viewpoints. We are losing the ability to comprehend the varied nuances of the issues confronting our society. When the free exchange of ideas is deliberately terminated and dissenting views ignored, society will be forever divided without the promise of compromise and without common ground.

“All of us share this world for but a brief moment in time. The question is whether we spend that time focused on what pushes us apart, or whether we commit ourselves to an effort -- a sustained effort -- to find common ground, to focus on the future we seek for our children, and to respect the dignity of all human beings.”

Believe it or not, this quote is attributed to our former “Divider in Chief,” Barack Obama. The man responsible for setting back race relations decades. Had he instead practiced what he preached, he could have been a great uniter of this nation. Instead, he focused on exploiting our differences, dividing Americans by skin color, sexual orientation, and economic class. Apparently, he learned much from fellow Chicagoan Saul Alinsky and his “Rules for Radicals.” The results of his efforts would make Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, and Satan proud.

“Abuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery, of party, faction, and division of society.” John Adams.

The left refuses to listen to opposing viewpoints, shouting down those in which they disagree. Democrats refuse to find that common ground and reach a consensus that facilitates a better life for the Americans they are expected to represent. Without common ground, no agreement can be achieved. Without common goals, problems have no solutions. Without effective debate that listens to all sides, nothing can be accomplished. If one fails to listen and consider alternate avenues of thought, we, and especially government, will continue to fail to discover the remedies this nation requires.

“There are forces all around you who wish to exploit division, rob you of your freedom, and tell you what to think. But young folks can rekindle the weary spirit of a slumbering nation.” Wynton Marsalis.

There is a revival occurring with the young people of this nation. Despite the incessant leftist drumbeat of the legacy media and the Marxist indoctrination of academia, young people are awakening. The search to fill the emptiness in their hearts is being filled with many of them returning to Christ. Churches are filling and young people are engaged. This is the path to save this nation and re-reconcile with the God of creation. Former democrats are realizing that their party is no longer the party of John F. Kennedy but better resembles those worshipping at the altar of Baal. Hope is not lost, but we must be ever vigilant. The November mid-terms will be the tipping point. Will we return to be that “shining city on a hill” or will we sit back and let evil overcome?

“We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. Abraham Lincoln.

Democrats continue to disregard the will of the people, pervert the Constitution with lawsuits before leftist judges appointed by democrat Presidents, and pursue policies that Americans reject. Democrats must be rejected at the ballot box. We have a choice to continue to regress as a nation or reembrace the Judeo-Christian values that made the United States the greatest nation on earth. The choice is yours.

“For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk with integrity, to guard the paths of justice and protect the way of His saints. Then you will discern righteousness and justice and equity—every good path. For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will delight your soul. Discretion will watch over you, and understanding will guard you, to deliver you from the way of evil, from the man who speaks perversity, from those who leave the straight paths to walk in the ways of darkness, from those who enjoy doing evil and rejoice in the twistedness of evil, whose paths are crooked and whose ways are devious.” Proverbs 2:6-15

 

 

 

Packing it in

 

Virginia democrats to “save” democracy.

When court rulings upset democrats, they will fight to the end in order to get their way. There will no longer be a need to “pack the court” when conservatives rule constitutionally and common-sense reigns. Democrat-controlled States can just change the rules by passing unreasonable mandatory retirement ages. This is actually true. The Virginia Supreme Court ruled that the State’s “gerrymandering” referendum that recently passed 51-48%, overruling a previous independent redistricting, voter approved map, was unconstitutional. The democrat’s next effort to “save democracy” is to replace that entire current Supreme Court by legislating a mandatory retirement age of 54. Coincidently, the youngest justice is 54, creating an opportunity for democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger to simply appoint an entire slate of new justices that would rule favorably in any other democrat scheme to usurp the authority of the electorate.

This unabashedly malicious and unethical plot to overthrow the will of the people is simply more evidence that democrats care only about gaining and maintaining power. You see, democrats are not unlike petulant children that throw tantrums when they cannot get their way. Voters are merely pawns, to be literally used as tools to keep them in office. Democrats depend upon the drumbeat of the legacy media to amplify their lies and ignore their missteps. Subterfuge is the guiding principle of the democrat party. Keeping the uninformed believing the propaganda that they continually spew is all important. What democrats fear most is an informed electorate, that can see right through their lies.

In the marketplace of ideas, democrats fail. They support policies (transgenderism, abortion, governmental censorship, open borders, antisemitism, anti-incarceration, and on and on) that are opposed by and are detrimental to Americans. Why is it that the policies democrats support are upheld through friendly court decisions? Why is it that democrat operatives sue to prevent policies and legislation favorable to Americans but are opposed by the left? There are consequences to elections, particularly when leftist judges are appointed to the bench. It is no coincidence that those very same judges serve in venues that democrat operatives file their frivolous lawsuits. Never mind that higher courts overturn their rulings, these are roadblocks designed to delay good policies and legislation from taking effect.

Former democrats are leaving the party in droves as their eyes are finally opened to the contradiction that the democrat party has become. Their quest to “save” democracy, by supporting the no king’s movement, Black Lives Matter, condemning the “oligarchy,” and continually villainizing Trump, has shown those with eyes to see, ears to hear, and minds to comprehend, that they no longer are the party of the people. That ship began to sail with the advent of Barack Obama and his strategy to widen the racial and class divide rather than working to bring all Americans together. He championed diversity, equity, and inclusion that has simply divided the population by race, creed, and color. If Americans are at each other’s throats, democrats can commit atrocities against those too busy calling out one another for perceived “injustices.” If Americans saw one another as Americans with common goals, democrats would be lost. Without a bogeyman, there is no one to blame for democrat failures.

As more of the corruption democrats have engaged in is exposed, their claim to any legitimacy is destroyed. As democrat policies are exposed to the light of day, more and more Americans reject them. The result of the mid-term elections in November will indicate whether Americans are finally paying attention. If they are, democrats will lose seat upon seat in Congress, Governorships, and State legislatures. If not, the United States may just be heading to the same conclusion as other nations that fell under their own weight. Every American that wants this great nation to continue to provide rest for the weary, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness must not only make certain to cast their own ballot but should make certain to encourage any conservative they know to cast their ballots. Failure to right the ship may just doom this nation to become another in a long line of failed nations.

“Great nations which fail to meet their responsibilities to God are consigned to the dust bin of history. We grew from that small, weak republic which had as its assets spirit, optimism, faith in God and an unshakeable belief that free men and women could govern themselves wisely. We became the leader of the free world, an example for all those who cherish freedom. If we are to continue to be that example-if we are to preserve our own freedom-we must understand those who would dominate us and deal with them with determination.” — Ronald Reagan

Democrats govern foolishly and selfishly. Democrats reject the authority of God. Democrats reject common sense. Continue to elect them as leaders and they will put an end to our cherished freedoms. We must understand that they intend to dominate us from within and vote accordingly.

 

Suicidal Empathy

 

Flushing the future.

Perhaps Trump Derangement Syndrome is the determining factor in the election of some of the leftist idiots to Congress. Perhaps it is the legacy media at fault for shaping the opinion of the people foolish enough to depend on them for the truth. Perhaps people are so compartmentalized that they would vote for anyone with a (D) after their name. Perhaps hatred has run amok on the left. Unfortunately, the low information voter has way too much influence on the body politic. Leading the way for the less intelligent are our college campuses. Should be an oxymoron, but drop the “oxy” and that moniker would be a much better fit.

Leftist college administrators and Marxist professors are sucking the intelligence out of our best and brightest, substituting real learning with simplistic catch phrases to be parroted repeatedly. Telling is that most cannot or do not understand what the chant “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” even means. Troubling is that a majority of people in the 18-25 age bracket have a favorable opinion of socialism. Even more troubling is that they have cultivated a generation who hate their country and their “whiteness” without valid reason. And when they vote, they choose those who would do the most damage to their future.

Wisconsin’s previous two elections placed Jill Karofsky, a crazy leftist, and Janet Protasiewicz, an even crazier leftist on the Wisconsin Supreme court. On Tuesday, April 7^th, Wisconsin elected Chris Taylor, the craziest leftist, to a ten-year term on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Why does a 50-50 state like Wisconsin opt to put into power leftist judges that actually declare their intent to legislate from the bench? The constant drumbeat against Republicans and conservativism by the legacy media is beginning to reap dividends. When lies are repeated often enough, the weak-minded will eventually begin to believe them as truth. Hate and anger are some of our strongest emotions and the left has been ingraining their hatred into the nation’s conscience.

What are democrats for and what policies do they support? We certainly know what they are against, all things that President Trump proposes to enhance the lives and security of this nation. Seems to be working for them lately. At least in Wisconsin it is. We will have to wait and see what bat-shit-crazy-leftist-in-the-pocket of the democrats will fill the next seat on Wisconsin’s highest court. Act 10 will be going down, and as a direct result, property taxes will skyrocket. Voter ID is over, sanctuary state here we come, CRT and DEI will replace STEM in our schools, and abortion will be available up to birth on the taxpayer dime. Who says elections don’t have consequences? Oh, and the LGBTQI+ community will finally have their day, I mean month, complete with a permanent flag flying at the Capitol.

Give them what they want, and they will get what they deserve. Except that normal taxpaying citizens will be lost in the shuffle and be left to endure the woke and tax hell that will suck the life right out of us. Democrats are hell-bent at burning this nation to ashes and utterly destroying the very fabric of a civil society. When normal people finally realize where the left wants us to go, it will likely be too late to turn the ship around. It matters not that democrats will end up on the wrong side of history, it only matters that they are the ones in power to write the narrative. As with the former Soviet Union, the United States will crumble just like the Berlin wall.

Blue states refuse to cooperate with the Federal authority of the DOJ, blocking orders to turn over voter data necessary to purge the rolls of ineligible voters. Why? Because there are hundreds of thousands, potentially millions of voters either dead, no longer living at those addresses or in those states, are illegal aliens, or simply do not nor have ever existed. The democrat ballot harvesting effort is more than just effective, collecting ballots from those who would not likely vote and those who do not exist, but are still on the voter rolls. Working with NGO’s, democrats enroll all manner of illegal voters, all with the return address of those same NGO’s. Tens of thousands of ballots from swing states only voted for President, and no other candidates in the 2020 election, evidence that those particular ballots were completed hastily, likely by the same person(s).

Just like Satan, democrats trade in lies and half-truths to convince the gullible to keep them in power. They support what 70-80% of the mainstream reject. Democrats intend to expand government, by raising taxes, imposing greater regulations on businesses, and enforcing unreasonable laws upon the populace. Unless we can convince our next generation of the dangers the leftist ideology embraced by democrats pose, we will continue to sink further into the abyss. Until young Americans understand what freedom is and to hold to the truths that are self-evident, our nation is at risk. If we remain silent, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness may only be words, printed on an outdated manuscript. There is good reason that our nation was founded upon the values enumerated in the Constitution and we must hold fast to those values. Failure to do so will lead to the failure of our society.

“Our government leaders … have made many mistakes in the past when they have lost sight of the sacred American values rooted in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. We are at the brink of even graver mistakes and assaults on these values.” –Samuel Dash

Irredeemable?

 

Hillary may have been right, sort of.

There just may be people that have been so influenced by the evil one that they may very well be irredeemable. Hillary accused Christians and conservatives of being irredeemable and a “basket of deplorables,” but those who celebrate accomplishing their evil deeds with ill intent are the true offenders. On October 7^th, 2023, radical Islamist terrorists gleefully killed, raped, and brutalized Israeli civilians, including forcing parents to watch their infant children burned to death before being killed themselves. Hamas video-taped their wickedness for the world to witness, yet American college students continue to support Palestinians and Hamas while vilifying Israel and their own country. While the murderous Hamas degenerates may very well be beyond salvaging, these wayward young people are not totally lost.

College professors, many of whom were once violent, radical leftists themselves, (see Bill Ayres and Bernadene Dohrn) are now in position to indoctrinate our future leaders with leftist ideology. While these leftist “educators” demean the nation that allowed them to prosper, they foster discontent among their students. These former anarchists neglect any responsibility to promote the free exchange of ideas that would enrich the lives of their charges. They are instead creating automatons that cannot think for themselves or explain their support for all things left, without spouting slogans and phrases their professors infused into their brains. These America hating, freedom despising Marxists are enemies of God. These leftist professors just may fall into Hillary’s definition of irredeemable, although they certainly check the box as deplorable.

Those that under the guise of “gender affirming care,” brainwash children by encouraging them to experiment with alternate sexual identities, prescribe puberty blocking drugs or worse, perform sexual mutilation surgeries, will have a special place in hell should they fail to turn from evil and repent. School administrators, teachers, psychiatrists, doctors, and legislators that shield gender confused children and refuse to inform parents that they wish to change their pronouns or transition, deserve the harshest condemnation. Parents are responsible for their children and any decisions that have life-altering consequences must be made by the parents, not the child or some so-called “expert.”

Abortion is another matter. Celebrating the murder of unborn children harkens back to the Canaanites who burned their children alive on a bronze bull statue as sacrifices offered to their deity Baal. Each of us began within our mother’s womb, deserving to be born. It is the personification of evil when leftists attempt to justify the killing of another human being as “my body, my choice.” Unfortunately, the unborn human being has no choice in the matter. Abortion is premeditated murder, pure and simple. It is barbaric when a pre-born child, that can feel pain, is torn apart in the birth canal, right up to the time of delivery. Abortion is evil and those who practice it are selfish, uncaring, and heartless. Without a change in heart, they will have a difficult time explaining themselves at the judgement seat.

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who turn darkness to light and light to darkness, who replace bitter with sweet and sweet with bitter. Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.” Isaiah 5:20-21.

The democrat party continues with reckless rhetoric that is inciting violence and tearing the fabric of society apart. They sow division and smear their opponents with vicious lies, all in a selfish effort to attain power. Democrats fail in their responsibility to represent their constituents in government. Democrats engage in obstruction, harming their constituency by refusing to fund necessary national security apparatus, while blaming their opponents. Democrats are corrupt, utilizing whatever tactics are necessary for them to gain and maintain power.

We are all image bearers of God, are unconditionally loved by Him, and He wants all of His children to come and share eternity with Him. Yet, when does it become time to “shake the dust off our sandals?” When evil seems to have completely poisoned a person’s soul, how can we possibly reach out in love to express to them the love of Christ through our actions and speech? We cannot return hate for hate. That would only close the door on any opportunity for the Holy Spirit to influence a lost soul. As difficult as it may seem, it is essential that we see those who are lost as brothers and sisters in need of the saving grace of Jesus Christ, just as we all are.

Evil will thrive in this world if we fail to recognize it and call it out. Evil will never relent of its own accord. Pretend it is not there and it will grow stronger. Evil can be committed by good, but misguided people. Good intentions can also lead one to commit unspeakable evil. What is right in man’s law is often not in line with God’s will. Failing to understand that evil is real will allow the evil one to prosper in this world. Good people are lost to the evil one every day. Returning animosity to that screaming leftist only feeds the evil one’s plans to lead more people away from God. Evil may have won a few battles, but we know who prevails in the end. Repaying hate with love and kindness may just grease the skids enough to open that door just a crack for the Holy Spirit to enter and begin to lead them to Christ.

“My friends, if any of you wander away from the truth and another one brings you back again, remember this: whoever turns a sinner back from the wrong way will save that sinner's soul from death and bring about the forgiveness of many sins. James 5:19-20.
