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 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.

Gloves off, Knives out

 

Democrats promise a reckoning.

No subtlety at all from the democrat party. If they regain power, they promise to undo every single one of the gains made by the Trump administration and anyone, yes anyone who cooperated with Trump, will face retaliation. Real banana republic stuff here. It is now very clear what we can expect with a democrat majority as minority leader Hakeem Jeffries leaves no doubt with his statements. The founding fathers must be rolling over in their graves. These raving lunatics should never be allowed to be in charge of anything.

Yet here we are. A party who cannot articulate any policies that benefit the nation but have gotten quite adept at demeaning and demonizing their opponents. We certainly understand what they oppose, but other than favoring illegal alien criminals instead of US citizens, what do they support? And people keep electing these morons as their representatives. During a time of armed conflict, most Americans unite as a common people. Not democrats. The refusal of Senate democrats to approve funding for DHS is reckless at a time when we, as a nation, should be most vigilant against threats to our homeland.

The Department of Homeland Security manages, among others, the Secret Service, the Coast Guard, immigration and border enforcement, FEMA, cybersecurity, and the TSA. ICE is funded through 2028 and democrats are well aware of that fact. Yet they continue to block funding for all other duties of DHS to placate their radical base. It is a fool’s errand that is harming the nation. The long lines at airports are a great inconvenience for travelers, but forcing federal employees to work without pay is placing passenger safety at risk. If our adversaries would contemplate an attack, now would be the time. Democrats are fully culpable in this unnecessary risk, but they continue to try to place the blame on Republicans.

Trump ordering ICE agents to support TSA agents at airports has the democrats heads literally exploding. They have vilified ICE to the point that they are claiming that people will be killed by ICE while attempting to take a family vacation. Democrats are so invested in derailing the Trump agenda that they are cheering on a military defeat at the hands of the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism. There is nothing too vile or treasonous for these reckless, power-hungry democrat politicians.

A compromise on DHS funding is expected to pass in the Senate after it ran out of funding on February 14, 2026. The SAVE Act, that would require voter ID and proof of citizenship is also being stalled by democrat obstruction. Democrats apparently believe that Americans are too stupid to provide information that is readily available to them. 80% of the population agree that voter ID is necessary to secure fair elections. Democrats disagree. With the opportunity for fraud reduced or eliminated, cheating will become more difficult. This apparently eliminates too many democrat “voters” that have ballots cast in their name. Yes, democrats cheat. They have one of the best ballot harvesting operations on the planet. Many heavily democrat districts have a 100% turnout for registered voters. Some even tabulate over 100% of the registered voters, but they insist there is no voter fraud. NOT!!!!

Democrats cheer against the citizens of this nation, because you are not who can keep them in power. Democrats are on the wrong side of almost every issue. Democrats have abandoned the middle class and look to poor immigrants, legal or illegal, as their path to power. If democrats regain the House and Senate in the 2026 mid-terms, we will witness their unbridled attack on the rule of law. It matters not who is buried in their wake, it only matters that they regain power at any cost. If you decide to sit out in 2026 and let democrats win, this nation will suffer. Democrats have decided to use any means necessary to steal back their authority. Do not let them destroy a nation that has been a beacon of freedom for 250 years.

 

The Squeaky Wheel

 

Liberals bite the hand that feeds them!

Trump Derangement Syndrome is very real for our liberal democrat friends. No matter what policy is put forward by this administration, democrats howl in opposition. That it benefits their constituency matters not. If they can delay, deter or derail said policies, they continue to rail against this duly elected President. Democrat appointed judges rule on cases in which they have no jurisdiction, and democrats line up to support their usurpation of power yet squeal when the conservative majority of Supreme Court Justices uphold Trump’s policies. Accused “Tyrant” Trump abides by these rulings while they are appealed to a higher court, yet he stands accused by the left of destroying democracy.

The left uses this nation’s freedoms to undermine the rule of law. Democrat elected officials refuse to acknowledge Federal supremacy in matters of immigration enforcement. They declare themselves sanctuary cities, order police to stand down, let Federal agents be attacked with impunity, and refuse to notify ICE when criminals are released, often to reoffend. Democrat elected officials place the blame for the violence they encouraged on the ICE officers that are simply conducting their lawful duties. If criminals were released to ICE in the safety of the jails, ICE would not have to search the community for these criminals. This is tantamount to setting a fire, then obstructing the firefighters from extinguishing the flames, and finally blaming the firefighters as the fire spreads out of control.

Democrat rhetoric is out of control. They understand that ending corruption, cleaning up the voter rolls, and deporting illegal aliens stands to erode their power and position. Open your eyes. Democrats care only about maintaining their power so that they can keep enriching themselves and their families. The FBI/DOJ has recovered election documents from Fulton County (Atlanta) Georgia and Maricopa County (Phoenix) Arizona after grand juries issued subpoenas for those documents. Whether President Trump’s insistence that the 2020 election was stolen should either be confirmed or refuted once and for all.

From a Washington Examiner opinion piece by Christopher Tremoglie, ”The people are being lied to about the Iran war, and the deception is coming from the elected leaders of the country. Doomsday narratives concocting scenarios of U.S. struggles, chaos, disorganization, and failure flood legacy media broadcasts. As mentioned above, such consistent deceptive accounts of events in Iran legitimately suggest Democrats and their accomplices in the media actually want the U.S. to lose in battle so Trump could suffer political consequences. It is a sick and twisted political reality, and it shows the depths of depravity to which Democrats and legacy media will sink to achieve their political objectives.”

If democrats continue to erode their duty to stand guard as the loyal opposition by continuously demonizing their opponents, our government will cease to function. Holding the nation hostage as a strategy to obstruct passing the SAVE Act, supported by 80% of the people, and block funding for DHS, will embolden the radical left to continue their crusade to destroy the rule of law, and with it this nation. If the leftist lunatics believe that their tirades are unduly influencing the democrats, they will continue escalating on their divisive path. All of which makes the 2026 mid-terms even more important.

Democrats care not what their reckless behavior and rhetoric bring, as long as they regain their majority. If they do, get ready for open borders, ID free elections, transgender surgeries on demand, European style speech enforcement, and a determined effort to replace the free market with “democratic” socialism. Do not let the low information voters decide who represents us in Congress. Vote for those whose values are in line with the mainstream. Vote for those who love God first and themselves secondarily. Vote for those who are truly public servants and not self-anointed rulers once they gain office.

If democrats prevail in November, all gains made in the last two years will be lost. The House will devolve into impeachment theater, grinding the government to a halt. And if you think your 401-K’s have taken a hit during the attacks on Iran, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Inflation will jump again as they obstruct any efforts to uncover fraud and waste. This is not hyperbole. All you need to do is remember what happened during the Biden administration and can currently witness in democrat run states and cities. Democrats are desperate and will stop at nothing to gain power again. If they prevail, all bets are off. Together, we have the power to prevent this. This is a nation that is of, by, and for the people. Make your vote count!

 

Imminent

 

When patience is not a virtue.

Iran was taken over by a radical faction of Shiite Islam in 1979. Since then it has been ruled by a theocracy, led by an ayatollah, appointed as “Supreme Leader” that rules the government, military, and upholds Sharia law over the populace. In the ensuing years, Iran willfully funded terrorism to achieve the goal of eventually eradicating the west, in particular, Israel and the United States. Acts of terrorism, such as the bombing of the US Marine barracks in Beirut, Lebanon that killed 241 US soldiers and 58 French soldiers in 1983, the World Trade Center in 1993 that killed 6 and injured over 1000, and the October 7^th, 2023, Iran sponsored Hamas killed over 1200 civilians in an unprovoked attack in southern Israel. These are but a few of the examples of Iran’s radical Islamic government fomenting chaos and murdering innocents throughout the world. Their political leaders call for death to Israel and death to America while funding proxies to accomplish just that.

That same radical Islamic government yearns to build a nuclear bomb to hasten the coming of their “13^th Imam.” Iran is currently governed by Islamist zealots that have no respect for the rule of law, the lives of their own people, and will use whatever means necessary to accomplish their goals. On June 22^nd, 2025, the US bombed nuclear facilities in Iran. This has not deterred the Iranian regime from seeking to rebuild their nuclear ambitions. On February 28^th, 2026, after weeks of futile negotiations, the US and Israeli armed forces combined in Operation Epic Fury, to eliminate the Iranian regimes armed forces and degrade their capacity to threaten the region and the world. Once the theocracy that has enslaved the Iranian people and posed a threat to world peace is eliminated, the world will be a safer place.

Of course, democrats disagree, vehemently. “The threat of a nuclear attack by Iran was not imminent,” they claim. Perhaps we should have waited until the missiles were flying to be able to defend ourselves. Pre-emptive strikes against a nation that threatens another nation is well within the rights of the defending nation. International law is clear on this. Iran clearly stated during negotiations that they were on the cusp of refining enough nuclear fissile material to make 10-15 nuclear warheads and had no intention of abandoning their nuclear ambitions. With all due respect to Senator Rand Paul, if someone threatens to kick my ass and possesses the ability to do so, I’m going to strike first and attempt to end the threat. That is exactly what the US and Israel are accomplishing and if it takes eliminating every ayatollah that is named “Supreme Leader,” so be it. The world will be a better place for it.

A nation divided cannot stand and democrats are doing their best to divide this nation. Political parties can disagree on policy but must act in the best interests of the nation they are charged to represent. By continuously disparaging the opposition party, even with issues that need not be contentious, is detrimental to the nation. We can always agree to disagree, but those disagreements should never morph into the demonization of the opposition.

” Our right to disagree is precious but fragile. The best way to protect and preserve it is to let the other side speak without demonizing them or destroying their right to be heard. Such civil exchanges are the heartbeat of democracy - essential to keeping it alive.” Madeline M. Kunin a democrat, former Governor of Vermont.

If we fail to return to respecting each other as a society, society is destined to fail. If we fail to responsibly govern this nation, with respectful debate and agreement on common principles, this nation will fail. If we continue our present trajectory, this nation will spiral into a decline from which it may never recover. If we cannot agree that the number one responsibility of government is to protect its citizens, then we are already adrift. We must remain unified as a nation, especially during times of armed conflict. The fall of this nation will be imminent if democrats continue this course. Until reason returns, the only alternative is to keep these leftists as far from power as possible. The mid-terms are a wake-up call for normalcy. The solution to this idiocy can be found at the ballot box. Vote for those who uphold your values and keep leftist democrats out of office. If losses in elections fail to moderate their behavior, then they will fade away into ignominy.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt said in his annual message to Congress on January 6^th, 1941, prior to the US entering WWII, but after Nazi Germany was in the midst of their conquest of Europe; “The point in history at which we stand is full of promise and danger. The world will either move forward toward unity and widely shared prosperity - or it will move apart.”

The United States is at a crossroads; Either we unite or we fall apart. If democrats gain power, it will be the latter. It is your choice.

“Find people who share your values, and you'll conquer the world together.” John Ratzenberger, actor.

Hate Destroys

 

It overwhelms reason.

The hyper-polarization of the left has further evolved into a raging hatred toward those on the opposite end of the political spectrum. During the State of the Union address to Congress, this nation witnessed the visceral animosity of the democrats. This conduct is more than appalling. This conduct is unbecoming of elected representatives. This conduct is driving a wedge, dividing this nation along ideological lines. Democrats have instigated a civil war by championing leftist ideology, and fighting against normalcy.

Leftist ideology has been embraced by the democrat party and embedded into the party’s platform. Leftist ideology is toxic to the freedoms enshrined in the US Constitution. Leftist ideology has as its goal to end democracy and replace it with a socialist “utopia.” If civil society fails to realize this, it will ultimately lead to the destruction of this nation. It is distressing that a political party would reject what has made this nation great for a scheme they believe will allow them to regain power. And if democrats truly believe that they are acting in the best interests of this nation, God help them!

“Now, what is the left's worldview in general? What is it? If you had to attach not a philosophy but an attitude to a leftist worldview, it's one of pessimism and darkness, sadness. They're never happy, are they? They're always angry about something. No matter what they get, they're always angry.” Rush Limbaugh.

Anger and hatred have consumed the democrat party. Targeting Christianity, immigration enforcement, conservative values, or their favorite target to hate, Donald Trump, betrays their inner bitterness against traditional western values. Like the radical Muslims, they deal in hatred against those opposed to their fanatical beliefs. Yes, the current state of the democrat party is guided by fanatical doctrine steeped in resentment, seeking to influence the populace to reject traditional values. Democrats reject the rule of law. Democrats seek to justify murder of the unborn and mutilation of children by citing a perverted version of “science.” Democrats seek to gain and maintain power, authority, and the financial benefits they derive from it.

“Everybody knows - but no one wants to say - that the Democratic Party has become the party of special interest bigots and racial dividers. It runs the one-party state that controls public services in every major inner city, including the corrupt and failing school systems in which half the students - mainly African American and Hispanic - are denied a shot at the American dream.” David Horowitz.

Traditional values are a bane to the left. A color-blind society derails the left’s narrative of the oppressed versus the oppressor. The left thrives on conflict. Without it, they have no power to undermine a civil society. That is the goal of the left, to create conflict and chaos that will ultimately usher in and fundamentally transform this nation. The useful idiots created by the indoctrination of our public schools and universities march and protest against the very freedoms that afford them the right to protest. They shout slogans that are fed to them by leftist teachers and professors without understanding their meaning. Few can articulate why they are participating in the demonstrations.

“Lenin is often credited with coining the term “useful idiot,” poleznyi durak in Russian, meaning one who can be used to spread propaganda without being aware of it or subscribing to it.” Ben MacIntyre.

Democrats support anarchists, drag queen story hour for children, and criminal illegal aliens. Democrat District Attorneys release violent felons back onto the streets to reoffend, victimizing the community they have sworn to protect. Democrats vilify law enforcement, particularly immigration agents. Democrats accuse white people of racism, homophobia, and “white supremacy.” Democrats reject the American people and cast their lot with America haters. And democrats are terminally afflicted by Trump Derangement Syndrome. Democrats should be rejected and voted out of office.

”A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.” Marcus Tullius Cicero.

Democrats have rejected God and fallen in league with Satan. Their party platform is pleasing to the evil one. Ignore the danger that the democrat party presents to the longevity of our Republic at your own peril. If allowed to, they will destroy this nation. John F. Kennedy’s democrat party no longer exists. Like cancer, the democrat disease has metastasized, and to save the patient, must be excised. The November 2026 election may be our last opportunity to either turn the democrats away from the evil they have embraced or give them a mandate to continue their chosen path. The choice is yours.

“Every time we turn our heads the other way when we see the law flouted, when we tolerate what we know to be wrong, when we close our eyes and ears to the corrupt because we are too busy or too frightened, when we fail to speak up and speak out, we strike a blow against freedom and decency and justice.” Robert Kennedy.

 

Weaponized Ignorance

 

Worshipping worldly aspirations.

Shout out to Senator John Kennedy for coining the term “weaponized ignorance.” Virtue signalers. Transgender activists. Global warming disciples. Defenders of illegal alien criminals. Hamas supporters, antisemites, and Islam lovers. Socialism aficionados. Public education indoctrinators. Avowed leftists. Race baiters. The ever leftward leaning media. Useful idiots all. Ignorance can take many forms and can be weaponized in a variety of behaviors. Intelligence is not a prerequisite for the activist class.

“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

Intelligence is definitely not required for public service. Perhaps candidates need to pass a test prior to placement on the ballot. This would absolutely improve the quality of our elected representatives, but a better-informed public would be able to prevent the absurdity that exists today.

“The best defense of democracy is an informed electorate.” Thomas Jefferson

The right to peacefully protest and to petition the government for a remedy for their grievances is enshrined in the 1^st Amendment to the US Constitution. Leftist funded anarchists, paid protesters, and self-proclaimed do-gooders attend well organized and often violent demonstrations. Those are not peaceful protests. Those demonstrations are not to petition government for valid grievances. Those are insurrections, carefully planned to create chaos and organize a rebellion.

“Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.” Isaac Asimov

Far too many of our public education institutions allow, or perhaps encourage, indoctrination of students to leftist ideology. Rather than educate those students to be productive members of society, they create automatons incapable of rational thought, spouting slogans spoon fed to them by leftist “educators.” Public schools in the US are failing. Test scores are falling below those of some third world countries. Our future leaders are emerging from the rot ingested from our schools and universities.

“In addition to an education, kids were supposed to graduate with some basic values, self-discipline, and life skills. A little common sense wouldn't hurt either. Our schools don't teach that anymore. Instead, we're more concerned about kids having self-esteem and feeling good about themselves than we are about preparing them for real life. The politically correct crowd has taken over our schools, and as a result we are failing our children.” Donald J. Trump

Rational people operate within the rules of civil society and tend to make logical decisions. Irrational people make poor decisions and defy the rules of order without regard to the consequences of their actions. The left has created a generation of irrational people that are used to further the cause of fundamentally transforming this nation into something it was never intended to be. Irrational hatred drives the speech and actions of these deranged leftists. And that hate has spread to erstwhile “normal” liberals and democrats. Unhinged attacks upon the very freedoms protecting the citizens of this nation push society ever closer to a new civil war.

“Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.” Martin Luther King Jr.

The democrat party has decided that hatred of all things Trump is a winning strategy. Fact is, that there are no policies from the democrats that are positive for the citizens of the United States. Their platform, especially their obsession with promoting abortion and transgenderism for children, is void of anything positive. They have devolved into incessant ranting about Trump being an existential threat to democracy. It is truly sad that so much hatred is misdirected when democrats should be offering an alternative plan other than simply opposing anything Trump and Republicans propose.

“There will always be dissident voices heard in the land, expressing opposition without alternatives, finding fault but never favor, perceiving gloom on every side and seeking influence without responsibility.” John F. Kennedy.

The legacy media continues to trumpet opinion as if it is reporting the news objectively. When facts are omitted or ignored when they fail to bolster the left’s argument, journalists fail in their duty to report and inform the public. As the Fourth Estate, they are to hold the powerful accountable, for both parties. That is about as far from the truth as more than 90% of legacy news reporting is negative toward President Trump and Republicans. When will people realize that they are being spoon fed a narrative that is detrimental to civil society?

“The press is called the Fourth Estate. It is definitely a power, but to misuse that power is criminal.” Mahatma Gandhi.

Islamophobia is cited almost as often as “white” people are decried as racists. Wake up and smell the roses, Muslims intend to overrun the western world, eliminate our freedoms, and institute sharia law. Sharia law will prohibit homosexuality, freedom of expression, and end all other religions. Yet leftists fail to understand that they have no place in an Islamic society and would likely face a death sentence should Muslims come to power.

”Islam is more than a religion, it's much more than a religion, it's a way of life, it is a one-party political system that has a very elaborate legal system that can put you to death if you leave it.” Reza Aslan.

Secularism is encroaching upon the Judeo-Christian values that this nation was founded upon. This is the very reason behind the chaos that is overwhelming western society. Secularism lacks the moral compass that Christianity provides. Secularism denies our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, ordaining the worship and love of self over the worship and love of God. The one who had no sin that sacrificed Himself, took upon our sin, and rose again so that we may have eternal life is the solution to all that ails our society. All He wants is our heart. Follow Jesus and hatred melts. Follow Jesus and love triumphs. Follow Jesus and reject the ignorance that leads to chaos and death. Love one another as He loves us. This must be proclaimed loudly and proudly from the pulpit. God’s will is recorded in black and white, not in shades of gray. Pastors must call out what is evil. We are sheep in need of spiritual guidance. If the pulpit is silent or lacks the courage to call out what is wrong in God’s eyes, that pastor not only fails in his/her duty to properly serve the Lord, but risks losing their sheep to the evil of the world.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever practices the truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen clearly that what he has done has been accomplished in God.” Jesus Christ.

Follow Jesus, the light of the world!

 

 

 

Let me Entertain you

 

Democrats engage in Kabuki theater.

Just as the entertainers that heap praise upon each other at their “award” shows, democrats in Congress play to their audience. Look at me as I challenge those evil Republicans and stand up to the tyranny of Trump! Aren’t I so very special, brave, and virtuous! Politicians always seem to perform for their constituency in front of the cameras, but democrats have brought it to an entirely new and disgusting level. There is absolutely nothing that would embarrass these erstwhile public servants.

Democrat representative LaMonica McIver, indicted for obstructing federal officers while storming an ICE facility, insinuates that the ICE director is going to hell at a Congressional hearing. Quite rich from the party that offers pre-born child sacrifices to Baal. If anyone has a reservation on the rocket sled to hell it would be those who revel in the murder of defenseless unborn babies.

Democrat representative and erstwhile Texas Senate candidate Jasmine Crockett has yet to discover a camera that triggers her to opine on all things she apparently knows nothing about. Her latest escapade in interview “excellence” involved falsely claiming President Trump is a pedophile and that “We’re gonna be on his ass.” Apparently indicating that democrats expect to win the House and begin impeachment after impeachment. Congressional members that have abused their positions for personal gain are in the crosshairs of the DOJ. As Crockett is one of our “representatives” that has exponentially increased her personal wealth during her term of office, she should not be throwing stones from her glass house.

Democrat representative, Communist China spy aficionado, and declared candidate for California Governor, Eric Swalwell, looks directly into the camera and promises to revoke the driver’s licenses of all ICE agents operating in California if elected. Raging leftists applaud as he takes a bow. Not one of the most intelligent members of Congress and prone to flatulence on camera, Swalwell is adept at exposing his lack of intelligence when attempting “gotcha” questions during hearings and while ignoring the fact that he really did sleep with a Chinese spy while he sat on the House Intelligence Committee.

Democrat Minnesota Attorney General testifies before the Senate and denies inciting violence in his state. "The president is deliberately weaponizing the federal government against the people of Minnesota to inflict pain and instill terror." Keith Ellison. “Ellison has emerged as the voice of resistance as Minnesota has emerged as its face.” “In Ellison’s view, Trump targeted Minnesota for three main reasons: The state voted for his opponent in all three of Trump’s election bids by close margins, state officials refused a request from the White House to provide personal information about registered voters, and they resisted scrutiny of the state’s social services programs.” Keith L. Alexander, Bloomberg Law article, January 29, 2026. During the hearing he denied any responsibility for escalating citizen confrontation of ICE agents in Minneapolis. As Senator Ron Johnson brought the receipts, Ellison sat there with a smirk on his face. Ellison’s rhetoric led to the deaths of two Minneapolis citizens, and he has the audacity to sit there and grin.

Democrat representative Ilhan Omar, most well-known for her antisemitic and anti-American rhetoric, has been implicated in the Somali fraud investigations in Minneapolis. She has also increased her net worth by over $30Million since she was elected to Congress in 2019.

Democrat representative Nancy Pelosi is now worth over $278Million, with her net worth increasing exponentially during her tenure in Congress. In 2024 alone, her portfolio increased over 54%, more than doubling the 25% stock market return, and trouncing hedge fund returns. She denies any insider trading advantage her positions on committees offer her.

Democrat representative Rashida Talib is currently under investigation for ties to numerous terrorist networks.

Democrat Senators Mark Kelly and Elisa Slotnick, democrat representatives Jason Crow, Maggie Goodlander, Chrissy Houlihan, and Chris Deluzio published a video exhorting members of the military to disobey “unlawful” orders. This video was intentionally vague to create conflict when receiving orders from the Commander in Chief, President Trump. Although none were indicted when the DOJ sought to prosecute them, the intent of their message is more than troubling. Their actions to subvert the military chain of command is reprehensible and even without a grand jury indictment, should be condemned. Placing partisan opposition before duty to the Constitution and their oath of office is abhorrent.

Democrats certainly do not hold exclusive authority on fraud, corruption and treachery, but they have certainly perfected their craft. Those who choose to vote for democrats do so at the risk of placing people in authority that have their own self interests ahead of those they seek to represent. Public servants are to be just that. They are to place themselves secondary to those they represent. They are not to rule; they are to represent the interests of their constituency. They are not to be considered better than the “unwashed masses,” they are to consider themselves bound to the service of others. Somehow, this has been lost to many of our representatives. There are those who understand their place and honor their oath to serve, but few of them belong to the democrat party.

The Constitution is the bedrock of all our freedoms; guard and cherish it; keep honor and order in your own house; and the republic will endure.” Gerald Ford

The deep partisan divide is driving this nation apart. When the minority party is more concerned with derailing a sitting president than enacting policies to improve the lives of Americans, something is horribly wrong. Democrats are willing to burn the nation down in order to stop Trump. They bring nothing positive, only divisiveness. Democrats must be defeated at the ballot box. They must become the small minority that they truly are. Democrats must never regain power. If they do, our nation will be fundamentally transformed.

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 1^st 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

 

 

Your Lying Eyes

 

Believe what you are told, not what you see.

The moral of the story is that in a civil society you must obey the lawful orders of police officers. Comply and you will not die. After the tragic, but entirely preventable shooting in Minneapolis, democrats would have you ignore obvious exculpatory video evidence that the ICE officer was justified in shooting a citizen attempting to strike him with her car. Democrats have chosen to become the existential threat to democracy that they have falsely accused Donald Trump of. Their over-the-top rhetoric not only approaches a call for insurrection; it is absolutely a call for citizens to engage in civil unrest and/or violence to obstruct immigration and law enforcement by any means necessary.

Democrats and their leftist allies have transitioned from the all-out attempts at derailing Trump’s agenda to full out crazy town. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz all but declares war on the federal government. Hennepin County District Attorney Mary Moriarty declares that she will lead a counter-investigation. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison demands all evidence and to oversee a federal investigation in which he has no jurisdiction. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey prejudges the shooting and accuses the ICE officer of murder, even after viewing video that exonerates the officer. Other democrat run city officials bluster to placate the mob, promising to arrest and fight any immigration enforcement action. Are these people living in an alternate reality?

Leftists organize and train irrational useful idiots in guerilla tactics to be foot soldiers, putting their lives at risk, while turning them loose against ICE officers. Anarchists, who could care less about “undocumented immigrants,” are intent upon destroying the foundations of a civil society, creating havoc and chaos. Loud mouth fools further incite the mob, cheered on as they encourage the mob’s anger to a fever pitch. The mob’s escalating violence threatens their own wellbeing and that of those around them. And when democrat run city officials stand down the police and allow the mob to take control, reason and violence spin out of control. Without consequences, mob rule replaces the rule of law.

These protests are not against a tyrannical government. These protests are not advocating against unreasonable application of just laws. These protests intend to create chaos to disrupt civil society and foment violence in the furtherance of destroying capitalism and replacing it with a socialist “Utopia.” These useful idiot foot soldiers are advocating for their own country’s demise and elimination of the freedoms this nation affords. The very freedoms misused by those who would conquer us and impose their idea of a “just” society. One that divides by race, class, and ideology.

Vigilantism does not comport with a society based upon the rule of law. The only time a positive outcome occurs when people take matters into their own hands is in Hollywood productions. In film, the hero seldom is seriously injured or dies. In reality, the consequences are dire, unless you happen to reside in democrat run cities where law is not enforced. Those who challenge law enforcement provoke escalating force that is necessary to protect the officer and citizenry, and to effect an arrest. Fighting the police will lead to negative consequences for the offender. In other words, if you comply, you will not die.

Yet, democrats are so intent upon destroying Trump that they are willing to burn down the country to do so. Democrat’s gravy train of corruption derived wealth and illicit benefits outweigh any semblance of duty to uphold their oath to uphold the Constitution. Fulfilling their role as the loyal opposition takes a back seat to opposing Trump on everything. Democrats will incite the unpredictable, villainize Jews and Christians, promote sexual deviancy, protect criminals, support foreign tyrants, and defend the indefensible. Democrats will obfuscate, obstruct, and lie whenever it suits their need. They are plainly in league with Satan and if they refuse to return to God, they must be shunned.

Yet, we are still charged to love our neighbor and help lead the lost to Christ. How do we fight against this evil overtaking our nation while fulfilling our duty as Christians to love our neighbor as ourselves? When Jesus sent out the twelve disciples out to minister to the people, he said, “Whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy there and stay at his house until you move on. As you enter the home, greet its occupants. If the home is worthy, let your peace rest on it, but if it is not, let your peace return to you. And if anyone will not welcome you or heed your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town. Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.” Matthew 10:11-15.

This nation will not be lost to the evil one if evil is confronted and called out for what it is. People overcome by evil are lost, apart from God, but God still loves everyone unconditionally. But those overcome by evil must repent and return to Christ. We cannot judge, especially those who are lost. But we do have a responsibility to share the word so that those seeds of faith may be nurtured by the Holy Spirit. Those who continue to reject the Father and His one true Son are condemned.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever practices the truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen clearly that what he has done has been accomplished in God.” John 3:16-21.

It is incumbent upon us to shine the light in the darkness so that all may see. Evil cannot exist within the light of truth. Do not acquiesce to the evilness of the world. Be that light. Proclaim God’s truth. Plant the seeds of faith by your actions, speech, and faith. Love your neighbor as yourself, no matter how difficult it may seem to be at times.

Deceitful

 

The left seeks to destroy.

Once upon a time in this great experiment known as the United States, a more perfect union was formed. Thirteen States declared their independence from England, fought, won the Revolutionary War, and achieved their independence from England. Free at last from the bonds of monarchy, the founding fathers formed a new nation, with a new form of government, by, for, and of the people, a Constitutional Republic. Citizens would vote to elect their representatives in Congress, a President, and Vice-President. Each State also organized to govern each State’s affairs. Federal government was limited, but Federal statutes did take precedence over State and local laws.

This balancing act worked well until 1861, when a group of southern states decided that they were no longer bound by federal law. And so, the Civil War began, not exclusively about slavery, but begun by seditionists that wished to secede from the Union. A bloody war ensued, sometimes pitting brother against brother, completely unnecessary if all sides had adhered to the rule of law. Today, we have our own group of seditionists, also known as the democrat party. When a party is in the minority, they were intended to act as the loyal opposition. Today democrats have instead become a party of neo-confederates, attacking the rule of law.

Democrat run cities and states now proclaim their intention to ignore Federal law. Democrat leaders in those jurisdictions declare that Federal law enforcement can and will be subject to arrest by local law enforcement. Yes, they are actually threatening an armed stand-off, cop vs. cop. Will the first shots fired be tantamount to the first shots fired by confederate troops at Fort Sumter? It is indeed unfortunate that democrats, in their zeal to regain power, have thrown caution to the wind. Six democrat members of Congress, former military or intelligence officers, produced a video exhorting armed forces members to question authority in a misguided effort to undermine the commander in chief. This is nothing short of treason and those democrats should be prosecuted severely.

We are reaching a tipping point in the political discourse in this nation. It is one thing when criminals violate the laws but is another thing entirely when our elected leaders do the same, believing their positions of authority will shield them from accountability. Crime is rampant in many democrat run cities. When criminals are arrested, soft on crime District Attorneys often refuse to prosecute, releasing them to reoffend. Under the guise of the perceived racial disparity in prison population, democrat run cities are reluctant to incarcerate persons of color. Even though persons of color remain a minority population, they commit a majority of crimes.

Actions of the democrat leadership threaten the very foundations of this great nation. Outright lies to hinder the administration from conducting the people’s business to ingratiate themselves with their radical left base is unconscionable. As more of the democrat party’s corruption is uncovered, perhaps those who have long supported democrats will take a long hard look to see if the current crop of democrats represents their values. There is good reason that democrats fight so hard against streamlining government and rooting out corruption. They most benefit from the ill-begotten gains that a lack of accountability and oversight renders.

“Do not participate in the things these people do.  For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light!  For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true. Carefully determine what pleases the Lord.  Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them.” Ephesians 5:7-11

We must do our best to expose the evil that is overcoming this world. Democrat leaders are resolved to align with the left. The left is antithetical to God’s will. The left is opposed to our very way of life. The left wages war against our God and His people. Our leaders need to return to God. The only way to compel those in power to amend the error of their ways is to expose them to the light of day. Those that refuse to change must be voted out of office or they will continue in their evil ways. We are to shine the light of God to be a light to the world. The evil from the left will thrive if left to hide in the dark.

No longer can we stand by idly. No longer can we be quiet Christians. No longer can we wait for someone else to speak out. No longer can we go along to get along. If you wait for pastors to preach it from the pulpit, you may wait forever. The very souls of those influenced by the evil one are at risk. We must call out those who are content to gain wealth and power from their denial of God. If they are not called out, they will continue to travel the wide path to their destruction, and our nation will follow in their wake. The time is now.

These Days

 

God put us here for a purpose.

“Maybe we were made for these days.” These lyrics from a Jeremy Camp song fall short of God’s expectations for His people. Equipped with the time and talents provided to us, God did indeed put each of us in this time and in this place for His purpose. We were created to pursue justice. We were created to spread the Gospel to all the ends of the earth. We were made to take a stand against evil. We were made to worship and glorify our God by spreading the love of Jesus to all our neighbors. Yes, we were wonderfully made, specifically created for times such as these.

Evil thrives and violence spreads throughout our nation and the world. The current strategy employed that ignores the growing threat only encourages further escalation of that evil. Just as children who do not face consequences for their actions become spoiled and disobedient, today’s left pushes the boundaries of lawlessness as far as the consequences, or lack thereof, will allow. The left’s embrace of evil is metastasizing as if it were a cancer spreading throughout the human body.

Leftist ideology is attacking the most vulnerable as our children are indoctrinated with deviant sexuality. It is attacking the very fabric of this nation as the left calls for insurrection and disregard of the rule of law. It has infiltrated our churches, replacing the worship of our God with the worship of tolerance, diversity, and the things of this world. Our institutions have been polluted with antisemitism, the embrace of socialism, and hatred of opinions deemed inappropriate to their chosen wokeism tenets. There is a real danger that our nation, the last bastion of true freedom in the world, will be lost forever.

There is a great evil overtaking our nation and world. Evil thrives in an environment that allows it to grow. The silence of good people is deafening. We can no longer simply remain silent and “let someone else” confront this evil. If unchecked the left will destroy everything that is good and true. If unchecked the left will lead this nation down a path to destruction. The democrat party has not only embraced leftist ideology, but they have also doubled down on all things woke. Democrats must be voted out of office until they become an impotent minority. We must retake our schools to eliminate the indoctrination of our children. If we fail to hold the left accountable, we will have no one to blame but ourselves.

The easy way to combat this rampant evil would be to respond in kind, but we cannot repay evil with evil. Hatred only begets more hatred that is certain to entangle us within the influence of the evil one. The easy path can often be the most dangerous path. We can only mend fences and open minds through and with the love of Christ. Christ died for our sins while we were still sinners and enemies of God, including those unduly influenced by the evil one today.

We are long past due to stand strong in our faith. We were made to be God’s hands and feet on this earth. We are called to plant the seeds of faith so that the Holy Spirit can nurture and grow those seeds within those we meet and receive. Sharing the love of Christ is our greatest calling and the best way to show God our gratitude for our undeserved grace. To share the joy of salvation with the lost is our sacred duty as Jesus called for us to make disciples of all the world in the Great Commission. We need to keep singing and sharing until all have heard!

The first step in reconciliation is forgiveness. Without forgiveness, doors will remain shut and walls cannot be overcome. Without forgiveness there is no avenue to engage in constructive dialogue. Without forgiveness both sides remain at odds. Once anger, bitterness, and resentment are eliminated on one side of the equation, one can truly love one’s enemy. There is but one bond that unites all humanity and His name is Jesus Christ.

“And now, Lord, take notice of the threats they have made, and allow us, your servants, to speak your message with all boldness.” Acts 4:29

 

Counterfeit Grievance

 The left tries to normalize violence.

Just as aberrant sexual behavior has been normalized with the assistance of the left, they attempt to validate the use of “righteous” violence to advance perceived grievances.

Why do You make me see iniquity? Why do You tolerate wrongdoing? Destruction and violence are before me. Strife is ongoing, and conflict abounds. Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted. Habakkuk 1:3-4

It never ceases to amaze me that Scripture, even the Old Testament, is so very pertinent to today. What is happening today has happened before. The evil one and his minions continue to use the same tired playbook. Perhaps, now the people will not continue to fall for those same tricks. Democrats are the perverters of justice. Their playbook fosters division, embraces lies, and denies common sense. Their accusations, although amplified by a compliant media, are a steady stream of falsehoods and delusions.

The organized attacks on Tesla dealerships, charging stations, and owner is not just mind numbingly wrong-headed, it is terribly misguided. Leftist true believers and paid thugs carry out the marching orders of the democrat elite. “Let the pawns expose themselves to danger,” while the leftist democrat leaders use their minions to preplan and carry out their misdeeds that endanger our nation’s rule of law. For democrats, the rule of law is to be bent, folded, and mutilated to their advantage. You see, the ends justify the means.

During the riots of the summer of 2020, our Department of Justice simply engaged in catch and release. During and after the events of January 6^th, 2021, the Department of Justice left no stone unturned to bring anyone at the Capital to “justice.”

“What my enemies say can never be trusted; they only want to destroy. Their words are flattering and smooth, but full of deadly deceit.” Psalms 5:9

Under the guise of protecting democracy, $Billions of property damage, numerous lives lost, and hundreds injured, leftist rioters were granted leniency in 2020, while even peaceful trespassers on January 6^th were prosecuted well beyond the scope of their transgressions. Yes, democrats lied to the American people about the “insurrection” on January 6^th while they minimized the “mostly peaceful” riots after George Floyd’s death at the hands of Minneapolis Police. Antifa and Black Lives Matter thugs we let off with municipal citations, when they committed felonies, while grandmothers strolling through open doors at the Capital were given four-year sentences.

“So justice is turned away, and righteousness stands at a distance. For truth has stumbled in the public square, and honesty cannot enter. Truth is missing, and whoever turns from evil becomes prey. The LORD looked and was displeased that there was no justice.” Isaiah 59:14-15

Ken Martin, the Democrat National Committee Chair is instituting a “people’s cabinet” to actively undermine a duly elected President and his administration. Tim Walz, the 2024 democrat Vice-Presidential candidate had earlier called for a “shadow government” to derail and counter any policy initiatives proposed by President Trump. In this case the democrats are not propagating lies, they do admit to conspiring to commit treason against the sitting President, elected by a majority of Americans. The utter contempt that democrats have for the people is staggering. They utterly fail to govern by refusing to even try.

Yet, the democrat party’s biggest failure is their inability to discern right from wrong. To them, violence is a way to regain power. To them, continuing to support waste, fraud, and inefficiency in government maintains the money flow to their party. To them, their party is everything. To them, the people are merely pawns to help them get what they want.

“Truth is relative. Truth is what you can make the voter believe is the truth. If you're smart enough, truth is what you make the voter think it is. That's why I'm a Democrat. I can make the Democratic voters think whatever I want them to.” James Carville, democrat strategist.

Democrats think Americans are stupid. Democrats only obey the law when it serves their self-interests. Democrats have chosen their side, and it is not on the side of freedom. Democrats, simply put, are in league with Satan because they believe that better serves their purpose than moderating their positions in order to serve God.

“Those who corrupt the public mind are just as evil as those who steal from the public purse.” Adlai E. Stevenson.

The democrat party commits both offenses with their rhetoric and their malfeasance. They must be exposed for what they truly are and face the appropriate consequences. With DOGE following the money, hopefully that will happen sooner than later.

 

 

 

Spoiled Rotten

 

Entitled petulance reigns supreme.

Government largesse has risen well beyond anything that could possibly have haunted the founders in their worst nightmares. Government no longer provides just services that are mandated, taxpayer dollars are spent as if there is an infinite supply of funds for all manner of, not only unnecessary services, but those that government has no business providing. When this great nation was founded, power to the federal government was intentionally limited. The majority of the power was delegated to the States. The US Constitution tasked the federal government to provide for a national defense, finance the government, transact with foreign nations, regulate commerce, and any matters that impacts all states.

Today, the federal government employs over 2 million people, operates 15 departments and over 400 agencies. Since Congress has been unable to pass a budget, Congress has used a continuing resolution to fund the government. The federal government spent in excess of $6.8 Trillion in 2024 and has spent over $3 Trillion so far in fiscal year 2025. The national debt is approaching $36 Trillion. Interest payments on the debt are approaching $1 Trillion annually. Currently, the federal government spends more than $1 Trillion over their receipt of taxes and fees collected. Every year overspending leads to increasing the national debt. The federal government borrows over $1.5 Trillion per year. This is absolutely not sustainable.

Without reduced spending, the US will become a debtor’s nation, beholding to those who hold our debt. Or worse yet, our currency will no longer be amenable as an investment, and we will no longer be able to secure those loans. If the US dollar loses value on the world stage, other countries will no longer trade in the dollar, setting the stage for hyper-inflation. Without reduced spending, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid will become insolvent. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was instituted to root out fraud, waste, and create efficiencies in the federal government. It has paid dividends in identifying wasteful programs to the tune of over $100 Billion in its’ first month of existence. Yet, democrats cry bloody murder over the possibility of downsizing and creating a more efficient government. Democrats sue and radical judges enjoin the executive branch. George Soros funds leftist protests that vilify the process of identifying fraud and those exposing a government run amok. How could forcing government to be accountable to the people be problematic?

President Trump has already declared Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid as off limits to any cuts in benefits. Any cuts made will to be to end the fraud and waste that is discovered, and it is estimated that Medicare fraud is in excess of $100 Billion annually, Social Security over $700 Billion, and Medicaid over $100 Billion. There is almost $1 Trillion that is depleting those entitlements every year, bringing those programs ever closer to bankruptcy. Yet, democrats cry in unison that Trump is going to eliminate those benefits and the legacy media amplifies their false complaints. Democrats are bitter clingers to their bloated, wasteful government and the benefits they derive from fraudulent spending. Do the math. How can so many of our elected representatives, from both parties, inflate their net worth by 10’s of Millions while earning an annual salary of under $200,000? The question is, where is that money coming from? Is it just from “shrewd” stock trading, or something more nefarious?

“A merchant loves to defraud with dishonest scales in his hands. And Ephraim boasts: “How rich I have become! I have found wealth for myself. In all my labors, they can find in me no iniquity that is sinful.” Hosea 12:7-8

Legacy programs that many depend upon for retirement and medical benefits is in danger of failing. Waste and fraud are sucking the very lifeblood from those programs. Without eliminating the bloat, inefficiency, waste, and fraud, what will those who depend upon those programs do when the benefits end? Democrats should be cheering Elon and DOGE so that their constituents can enjoy their retirement without fear of losing their homes, feeding themselves, and having the wherewithal to receive necessary medical treatment. Before Trump was President, many of the democrat leaders bemoaned the waste and fraud and called for reform. The reason for the change of heart is apparent. Obstructing Trump is more important than saving Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. They are hellbent to destroy Trump even if it means destroying this nation.

“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 2:9-15

Yet there are those that say Scripture does not pertain to current times.

 

 

We’re Not in Kansas Anymore

 

Audits, accountability, innovation, oh my!

Democrats shed their crocodile tears as an unelected but duly appointed “Co-President” Elon Musk, and his merry band of techies audit bloated government agencies. “Elon is usurping Congressional authority.” “Elon is accessing personal data.” “Elon has allowed Mr. “Big Balls” to invade our bureaucracy.” “People will die!” Last I checked, the IRS is filled with unelected bureaucrats that are granted authority to audit any citizen’s tax returns. Unelected Federal, State, and local regulators infringe on the rights of property and business owners with impunity. Musk was granted authority by executive order and appointed to lead the Department of Government Efficiency. (DOGE) Musk was tasked to audit the Federal bureaucracy to identify fraud, waste, unnecessary programs and positions. DOGE, led by Musk, is doing just that. President Trump was elected with a mandate to clean up our runaway and, far too often, unaccountable Federal bureaucracy.

The hair on fire response from the democrats leaves one to postulate as to why they doth protest so vehemently. Could it be that an end to their gravy train is nigh? Democrats are filing lawsuit after lawsuit before hand-picked, activist, democrat appointed judges that intend to hamstring the Trump administration and derail the people’s agenda. Why are the democrats protecting the Deep State bureaucracy at all costs, while neglecting their responsibility to the taxpayer’s they represent? As in all corrupt endeavors one needs only to follow the money. Who has gained financially and who stands to lose their financial advantage. Career politicians, ingrained into the swamp of political favors that is Washington DC, fall prey to the temptation of lobbyists and the “under the table” benefits that they offer. Those elected from the middle-class end up with a net worth of tens of $millions on an annual salary of under $200,000. Pretty lucrative when all you need to do is cast your vote for special interests while betraying your oath to your nation and constituency.

It is not only democrats that are worried that their evil deeds will be discovered. The swamp has infected, not only both political parties, but the deep state bureaucrats, and many stand to lose their ill-begotten gains. From Nancy Pelosi’s insider trading, I mean astute stock strategies, to former New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez’ conviction on bribery charges, unethical and illegal behavior is rampant among our elected representatives. Many of the unelected bureaucrats have also accumulated vast wealth, out of proportion to their salaries. Power and authority are the great aphrodisiacs that enable one to justify inappropriate behavior.

It is long past due that there is an accounting of the bloated Federal bureaucracy and those elected officials with their hands in the till. Housecleaning often entails culling the herd and discarding items that are no longer of use. So, it should be with those charged to serve the people if they have decided to serve themselves. Things need to change, and the House, Senate, and swamp need to be drained of the useless, classless, and unethical. Elon Musk and DOGE is exactly what the doctor ordered. Priorities must be maintained, but there is much too much frosting on the cake. Time to trim down to what is necessary and trim the fat. Go Elon go!

Fight the Good Fight

 

Surrender is not an option in the battle against evil.

Satan and his minions are relentless in their quest to prevent humanity from attaining a personal relationship with God. The evil one uses a variety of techniques to accomplish his goal to separate us from God. By exploiting our personal weaknesses, he will gain a foothold and use those vulnerabilities to his advantage. Much of our current culture embodies those strategies that drive that wedge between humanity and our God. Leftist and woke ideology advocates for many of the things that displease our Lord but most certainly please Satan. Humans have a survival instinct that allows us to fall prey to our innate selfishness. Most of our sin derives from that selfishness. That is how the evil one preys upon those who are weak in faith. He deceives humankind in the same way that he tempted Jesus in the wilderness. Those things of this world that each of us has the proclivity to desire are used to tempt and mislead us.

That is where the left and their unrelenting push for wokeness step in. The things of this world are used as a means to distract us from a right relationship with God. We are called to love our God with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our minds, and with all our strength. Secondly, we need to love our neighbors as ourselves. Jesus said, “No other commandments are greater than these.” There are enough things of this world that distract us and get in the way of our relationship with God. We don’t need the left to add to those distractions as they act as agents of evil.  Wokeness has been adopted by the democrat party and their embrace of that evil is tearing apart this nation. And what exactly are the tenets of leftist ideology and why are they so dangerous to our spiritual life? In order to ascertain what is pleasing to God and what is not we are to turn to Scripture. The following is a comparison of the principles supported by leftism to God’s word.

·         Transgenderism – You shall have no other gods before me. The new religion for the left, having overtaken climate “science.” Embracing transgenderism accomplishes a variety of objectives of the left; sowing division amongst families, placing the children as wards of the state, removing numerous individuals from the gene pool, as they will no longer be able to procreate, and rolling back protections for women.

·         Abortion – You shall not murder. Just as children were sacrificed to the Phoenician/Canaanite god “Moloch” in ancient times, 50 million children have been sacrificed to the god of abortion since Roe v Wade was established. You shall make no idols. A statue commemorating Justice Ruth Bader-Ginsberg, but overtly symbolizing abortion, was placed over the Appellate Division Courthouse in New York.  

 

·         “Anti”-racism, class, and political warfare – Love your neighbor as yourself. The left promotes reverse racism to attack the white majority, in particular white males, falsely calling out white supremacy, white privilege, and the “patriarchy.” They rail at the “1%” and disparage anything conservative.

·         Weaponization of law against political enemies, the “Deep State.” – Again, you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. False claims against, not only Donald Trump, but Christians, conservatives, and anyone with the temerity to counter the lefts’ chosen narrative were in the crosshairs of the Department of Justice. Little old ladies praying in front of Planned Parenthood were sentenced to years in prison. Pre-dawn armed raids by the DOJ to terrorize dissenters, including a raiding a former President’s residence, were unconscionable and likely unlawful. Anarchists are often not charged with any crimes and no investigations to identify those who committed violence during riots while tirelessly searching for any persons that participated in the events at the Capitol on January 6^th, 2021.

·         Open borders – The same law applies both to the native-born and the foreigner residing among you. As in George Orwell’s Animal Farm, the Biden Administration reveals that they believe some of us are more equal than others. The US border is crossed illegally by millions of foreigners and the Biden administration rewards those who break our immigration laws with financial benefits and placement within the US borders, while over 300,000 immigrant children have been “lost”, likely being sexually trafficked.

·         CRT, DEI, AND ESG – You shall not covet. Love your neighbor. Critical Race Theory breeds hatred and unduly influences the teaching of our children. Racism is a learned behavior and CRT justifies racism against those deemed “privileged” to our most vulnerable. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies disproportionately elevates race, gender identity, and political ideology above merit and ability, diluting the competency of society’s workforce. Environmental, Social, and Governance policies place undue and burdensome regulations upon the business sector, increasing costs and undermining efficiencies.

·         Disregard of the rule of law – Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly. Democrat District Attorneys pervert the law, willfully ignoring the transgressions of those they deem to be marginalized by society. Along with the lack of enforcement comes anarchy and wanton crime, creating chaos for the law abiding in those cities.

·         Antisemitism and anti-Christianity – For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness. Anyone then who rejects this command does not reject man, but God, the very One who gives you His Holy Spirit.” Democrats have consistently rejected God’s word and have supported LGBTQ+, drag queens, gay marriage, and the like, while they champion antisemitism and disparage Christianity.

·         Free speech - We will no longer be influenced by people who use cunning and clever strategies to lead us astray.  Instead, as we lovingly speak the truth, we will grow up completely in our relationship to Christ, who is the head. Government propaganda and censorship is embraced by the legacy media and the democrat party falsely claiming it is imperative that mis and disinformation be controlled. They believe the people are too stupid to be able to ascertain right from wrong, fact from fiction.

To resist evil, it must first be identified and targeted. The democrat party has decided to embrace the evil that is leftist ideology. Until such a time as democrats choose to moderate their positions, return to serve the Lord, return to become actual public servants, and reject the immorality that they embrace, we must resist them with all our strength.

Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Ephesians 6:13
