Proof is in the Pudding

 

Trump derangement syndrome is real and pervasive.

The democrat party, along with their allies in the legacy media, have reached a new level of irrationality with their never-ending rantings against all things conservative. Common sense has apparently eluded the leftist understanding of acceptable societal norms, basic economics, and the science of biology as they put all their eggs into their chosen, but false narrative basket. They continue looking for love in all the wrong places while according to polls, their support is crashing and burning. Frankly, if they continue this assault on our democracy, it appears likely that they will be added to the endangered species list, and rightly so.

An hour before the Zelenskyy dustup at the oval office, Senator Chris Murphy (D) Maryland, confirmed that he and a number of his fellow TDS sufferers met with Zelenskyy. Zelenskyy complained that without additional security assurances he would not sign the previously agreed upon treaty. Those Senators urged him to stand fast by those conditions. So, while the legacy media accused Trump/Vance of setting up the confrontation, the scene was actually set in motion by a group of anti-Trump and neo-con Senators that included several Republicans. That Senator Murphy actively participated in an effort to undermine the executive branch, derailed a treaty with the Ukrainian President and the US, and then having the audacity to brag about his treasonous actions is ill-advised. This is today’s democrat party leaders. I would hope that the DOJ investigates the actions of these “Senators.” Murphy

The democrat’s efforts to make Trump look bad overshadows advocating for the nation’s best interests and striving to undermine the President’s agenda eclipses the duty to serve the interests of their constituency, the American people. US representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D) New York sets up a website to advise illegal aliens how to avoid and circumvent ICE. This is a clear violation of 18 US code 118, impeding Federal law enforcement. Other organizations print instructions for illegals to avoid capture, notify illegals of enforcement actions in their area, and dox ICE agents, putting the agents in greater danger. To the democrats and their allies, anything is acceptable in their efforts to undermine the Trump administration. The coordinated attacks by the left have been stunning in their scripted assertions that are then amplified by the legacy media.

Social Security is predicted to become insolvent by 2031, necessitating up to a 40% reduction in benefits. Medicare and Medicaid are on the same trajectory. Yet, democrats whine and cry about funding and staffing cuts for the bloated Federal bureaucracy they support over the citizens they are charged to serve, falsely claiming that those entitlements will be adversely affected. Nothing could be farther from the truth. If we fail to curtail rampant and growing government spending, those entitlements will be reduced or quite possibly ended. There are currently over 2 million Federal employees, with over $271 Billion in annual salaries and benefits, averaging over $130,000 per employee. If we have any chance at reducing our deficit, a return to austerity is necessary. The United States national debt exceeds $35 Trillion. Our government is borrowing money just to pay the interest on that debt. This is completely unsustainable. Democrats want to rule over you, even if it means destroying the very nation they seek to rule.

But democrats cry that Trump is evil!!! Democrats need a long hard look in the mirror to realize just what they have become. They are on the wrong side of history and are failing to heed the will of the people. Perhaps this is a good thing if democrats fade away into ignominy. Then we will not have to witness scenes such as disrupting a Presidential address. Shame on them! Oh, and Zelenskyy stands ready to sign the mineral rights agreement as it was initially agreed upon! Trump was right on everything!

Thumb on the Scale

 

Truth matters?

In the past a dishonest merchant would “tip the scales” to cheat his clients and gain financial advantage. Utilizing deliberately inaccurate scales, adding additional weight, distracting the purchaser, or anything that would swing the transaction in their favor were some of the tactics employed. These disreputable merchants, once found out, were reviled, and were forced out of the area, if they were not jailed. Once lost, trust is not easily regained. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. There were no second chances for the corrupt. Liars and cheats have no place in a civil society.

When the 60’s anarchists realized that using violence to overthrow the government was failing, they decided to adopt Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals. They hatched a scheme to infiltrate academia, journalism, and government. In doing so, they placed themselves in positions to indoctrinate young minds in the universities, report their chosen narrative on the various media platforms, and expand their influence through the deep state by directing legislation favorable to their objectives and working to elect like-minded or malleable individuals to office. When the ends justify the means, there is nothing too extreme for these radicals. And their strategy has been highly successful.

Marxist professors have done an excellent job imparting their leftist ideology to generations of their students, creating younger versions of themselves. University students have embraced the pro-Palestine movement and parrot the leftist slogans that have led to the resurgence of antisemitism. The absurdity of supporting an avowed enemy of Israel and the United States is staggering. They Ignore the deliberate attack of Israeli civilians on October 7^th, 2023 and the videotaped gleeful butchering, raping, and hostage taking, yet they denounce Israel’s legitimate defense, demonstrating an utter lack of understanding moral equivalency. To safeguard Israeli citizens from future attacks, Hamas must be eradicated. These students, useful tools for the left, have been taught to hate their country, hate their “whiteness,” disrespect authority, and support all manner of radical ideology.

The legacy media abandons their responsibility to objectively report the news and instead becomes an echo chamber, amplifying talking points of the democrat party. Even though the bias is readily apparent, those so blinded by political fealty cheer on “fake news” as it favors their personal beliefs. Prejudicial application of the law is acceptable to the left if it is directed at political enemies. The constant drumbeat against Christianity, gender bias, “white privilege,” and conservatism, particularly to Donald Trump, has unduly influenced the weak-minded. When the Biden/Harris administration is exposed for colluding with Big Tech to control the narratives around COVID, election fraud, and to suppress information that disproves otherwise, the media ignores and attempts to debunk the story.

Leftists and their willing accomplices denounce those in which they disagree as enemies This is more than disturbing. Far too many have been unduly influenced to the point that they border on the neurotic. Mainstream media is arguably culpable for the attempted assassination of Donald Trump (Remember that? The media has apparently forgotten.) by continually promoting a false and overtly divisive narrative that accuses Trump as an existential threat to democracy. Democracy is dying before our very eyes in the darkness of an untrustworthy and blatantly biased media.

The Deep State is very real and extremely influential in our government. Its tentacles reach deep within the inner workings of the Federal government. And it protects its status with a vengeance. Outsiders are not welcome and if elected are controlled by obstruction and obfuscation. There is good reason that government continues to expand and take more tax dollars to feed their insatiable spending that has the US more than $34Trillion in debt. Rampant spending allows the Deep State and their democrat allies to continue to add layer upon layer of taxes, fees, and regulations on the taxpayer. Electing Trump in 2016 was just a speed bump for the bureaucracy that was able to stymie much of his agenda, with help from the elected ruling class on both sides of the aisle. Handing over the reins to Kamala will lead us in the wrong direction. The godless, anti-life, pro-Hamas, pro child mutilation, government censorship, and the military industrial complex that is the Deep State will continue to balloon out of control.

The choice for Christians could not be clearer. Democrats embrace radical ideology that does not represent this nation. Donald Trump is not perfect, but only one person in history was. Currently we are at a tipping point. Another four years with a democrat in the White House and control of Congress will likely be the death knell of this nation. We must elect our representatives that uphold the values we hold dear. It is clear that democrats have not earned our trust and there are enough Republicans that are in this for themselves, but a conservative majority is a far better option. Cleaning house will take some time, but with Republican leadership it can begin. We need to roll back the insanity that is the left and return to normalcy. it is up to each of us to ensure that happens.

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Ephesians 6:12

Lawless

 

Says democrats and the Deep State!

What happens when the rule of law is nothing but a cudgel to be used by the Biden administration and its’ minions to attack political enemies? The total disregard of the rule of law is the very tip of the iceberg for the “win at all cost” democrat party. Lawfare is just another tool for the left to target their political enemies. Yet, many have no issue with this strategy and support these devious efforts to destroy conservatism. Divide and conquer. Prosecute the law-abiding, ignore the anarchists. Foment as much division amongst the populace as necessary to reach their goals. Easy enough to accomplish with the assistance of a complicit media and the deep state bureaucracy. There is one thing, and one thing only that they fear, the re-election of Donald Trump and his stated goal to dismantle the deep state.

Make no mistake, the democrat party despises the general populace. They are at a point where they no longer need your vote. The democrat machine’s ballot harvesting scheme allows them to collect ballots, without it being necessary for the voter to complete it. Their data base contains the names of those who have previously donated or voted democrat. An effective money laundering scheme has directed “Smurf” donations in the 100’s of millions to the democrat party. Democrat voters not casting ballots prior to the election or even after, will have ballots completed and mailed in their names. Not to worry if signatures do not match or are absent, corrupt clerks in blue cities will accept any ballot for a democrat. Think that the flood of illegals does not matter if they are not in your back yard? Think again. Millions of illegals have been registered to vote by NGOs in democrat run cities in all the battleground states. They are using the homeless loophole that does not require ID and are using the NGOs address, so that ballots are mailed to the NGOs directly.

All the measures are in place for another election “rigged” in the democrat’s favor. Democrats have abandoned the rule of law causing the citizenry to distrust Federal law enforcement, the Federal judiciary, and our local, State, and Federal elections. Our currency is imprinted with the words “In God We Trust.” The democrat party has destroyed that trust in their unhinged quest for power, that includes eliminating God and His followers. It is time for the silent majority to speak up. It is time for Christians to awaken from our collective slumber. It is time that the democrat party face the consequences for misusing the trust that the electorate has loaned to them. It is time to vote democrats out of office.

Do not be comfortable if polls show Trump leading Harris. The democrat party is fully able to overcome narrow margins with their election fraud machine. In 2020, 62% of registered voters voted in the Presidential election, over a 7% increase from 2016. 38% of registered voters could have their ballots returned without their knowledge. Returning less than 5% of those votes fraudulently can turn an election without causing any undue suspicion. It is incumbent upon all of us to cast our vote and additionally, make certain that you inform and encourage like-minded people to vote.

False Pretenses

 

 Hate and lies cannot continue to reign.

The new reality that DEI has inflicted upon this nation discounts merit and rewards specific attributes of those deemed to matter more than others. The days of working hard and earning a promotion are considered relics of a bygone era. Common sense is excoriated as a symptom of white supremacy, rooted in racism and homophobia. Equality is no longer a goal for all, those who are deemed oppressed due to skin color or gender orientation, require a head start to level the playing field so that everyone has an equal outcome, regardless of effort. Anyone denying their birth gender must be respected, but somehow, are not required to respect any opinion that offends them. Mental illness and sexual deviancy are to be celebrated and revered by society. History is being rewritten by those who once were the dregs of society, now elevated by woke ideology in this new age of enlightenment.

History isn’t the only norm being edited and/or cancelled out of existence. Once accepted truths are substituted with the fabrications of a corrupt, biased media. Edicts from the self-appointed ruling elite countermand the responsibility to serve and represent. As we approach a tipping point in this nations’ evolution, some things are self-evident and no manner of insane wokeness will ever change that. We are all created by a God that loves us, made in His image, for His purpose. That Jesus Christ went to the cross for us, taking all of humankind’s sin, rose and defeated death so that we will have a place with Him for all eternity. We are all created with an emptiness in our hearts that can only be filled with the love of Christ. We were carefully made to love our God and Creator.

Woke culture is inspired by the evil one. Those who are overcome by evil use the appealing words of diversity, equity, and inclusion to deceive those into loving the things of the world. The democrat party, simply put, is in league with the devil and promotes the works of his hand. The democrat party rejects the living God and revels in the lies of the evil one to gain and maintain power. It is time for good Christians to reject the lies and the evil of this world. It is time for good Christians to choose godly men and women to lead this nation. No, there is not a savior that is of this world, but we can use our vote to put in place those that would lead according to God’s will. No party is pure, just as all people are flawed and fall short of the glory of God. God’s word is an instruction manual for His people. If one dwells in His word, it becomes apparent as to what is truly evil in this world and how we can reject it.

We must reject the hatred spewed by the democrat party and their surrogates in the media. We must engage in the tough love of our neighbor and rebuff the dangerous woke ideology so that they can change the error of their ways and embrace our Lord and Savior once again. Keeping them in authority will only validate their march away from Him and embolden them to continue to enact more of their evil policies. If we decide to stand idly by and allow this insanity to overwhelm us, we abandon our responsibilities as followers of Christ and citizens of this nation. Once evil takes firm rooting, it becomes more and more difficult to excise. It is become customary to call each election, “the most important in our lifetime,” but this election will decide the course of this nation going forward. Do we want to be ruled by godless elites that will continue to persecute their stated enemies, Christians, conservatives, and traditional Judeo-Christian value and morals, or do we want to facilitate the return to normalcy?

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:10-12

Civic Duty

 

With citizenship, comes responsibility.

For civil society to prosper, an informed and engaged citizenry is necessary. “Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.” Thomas Jefferson. When one refuses or neglects that obligation, societal fabric begins to erode. An uninformed electorate concedes their inalienable rights to representatives that fail to protect the citizen’s interests. Without proper oversight, elected legislators are easily persuaded to place other’s interests and their own at the forefront of their decision making. Freedom comes at a cost. Those who fail to engage or vote based upon faulty reasoning will get what they deserve. Unfortunately, far too many abandon their civic responsibility, and we suffer as a nation because of it.

President John F. Kennedy famously said, “Do not ask what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” Is it too little to ask that the citizens of this nation be better informed? Is it too much to ask that citizens see and understand what is occurring in plain sight? Is it too much to ask that citizens question the narrative that seems all too contrived? With vast amounts of information available at their fingertips, too many take the easy way out and depend upon social media “influencers” on Tik Tok, Instagram, X or the like. When you cast a vote or choose not to, you are ceding constitutional power to an elected official that may have no business in that position of authority. (see AOC, Rashida Talib, Ilhan Omar, etc.)

For those of you celebrating the lawfare used by the democrat party to persecute their political opponents, your lack of understanding the long-range consequences of these actions is alarming. For those of you that allow a venomous hatred by the leftist media to influence your decision making and allow that hate to fester and grow into your being, I truly am disappointed in your lack of judgement. For those of you placing your trust in a government that lies, cheats, and steals your resources to enact policies that a vast majority rejects, your failure to comprehend that you are being betrayed is appalling. “It is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority.” Benjamin Franklin

Blindly following a party of failed policies, that foments hatred toward their political opponents and disdains those they are charged to represent, is beyond idiocy. Supporting democrats in their unfettered attack on the very tenets of this Constitutional Republic, encouraging their goal of eliminating your ability to choose your elected representatives, and abolishing your very civil rights is beyond the pale. We are truly on the pathway to an idiocrasy, where an uninformed populace is ruled by an elite that fashions themselves as the intelligencia that controls all aspects of life. “You’ll own nothing and be happy.” Summarized from a essay by Ida Auken at the 2016 WEF forum.

The “conviction” of former President Donald Trump is a travesty to our nation and the rule of law. Leftists, supported by democrats, are making a mockery of the law in democrat run cities by willfully refusing to enforce criminal law, often releasing criminals, without bail, back into the community to reoffend, again and again. Attorney General Merrick Garland approves the use of deadly force and the pre-dawn raid of Trump’s Mar a Lago with law enforcement brandishing long guns and non-uniforms. He has the temerity to tell Congress that the same policy was used in the search of President Biden’s residence, but there was no raid, no long guns and was done during daylight hours. Just like Sesame Street, some of these things just don’t belong with the others.

As long as democrats retain their offices and the authority it gives them, lawlessness will continue to run amok. The only solution is to vote democrats out of office so that they will learn from their errors and moderate their policies. As democrats vote by party fealty, not by what is best for their constituency, making them a voting block that is a clear minority will prevent them from maintaining their political power, creating an avenue to return to the values that have made this nation great. It is time to wake up and throw these leftists out of office. Any politician with a (D) next to their name should never again receive any votes until they abandon their headlong rush into leftism. It is time to return this country back to a government by, for and of the people. “Nations do not die from invasion; they die from internal rottenness.” Abraham Lincoln

Rest in Peace Democracy

 

Time to wake up

The President of the United States warned that electing Republicans would kill democracy. This was the battle cry of the Democrat party and their party spokespersons in the media. Republicans will end women’s access to reproductive health care and abolish all abortions. Republicans will end Social Security and Medicare. Republicans will pollute your water and kill the planet. Republicans will disenfranchise minorities by taking away their right to vote. The only people to accept these premises are those intellectually inept and those so ideologically driven that they will do whatever it takes for their side to win. Democrats have become proficient at bending and using the voting rules to their advantage. Republicans have dropped the ball and acquiesced to the Democrats abusing the system. The aligning of these stars will be the primary reason for the death of our Constitutional Republic.

Inept leadership by the Republican party has allowed the manipulation of voting laws, rules, and procedures to the advantage of the opposing political party. Why? The ruling class in Washington DC is all in on enriching themselves at the taxpayer’s expense. How do so many that go to DC as paupers leave office as millionaires? How is it that the families of those elected Representatives end up benefiting financially? Who holds the powerful accountable? It certainly is not the mainstream media. The Fourth Estate is content to be a cheerleader for the Democrat party and foe to all things conservative. Far too many Americans are glued to CNN and their ilk, allowing those pundits to form their opinions for them. We are our own worst enemies at times, or perhaps we are becoming too intellectually lazy to think for ourselves.

The “Big Lie” is shouted from the mountaintops any time 2020 voting irregularities are discussed. Mainstream media quickly pivots to conspiracy theories, such as, “Dominion” voting machines were manipulated by foreign powers, delegitimizing any valid occurrences. In 2020 voting deputies were not allowed to assist nursing home residents fill out ballots and to make certain that those residents had the cognitive ability to properly comprehend their actions. In Wisconsin alone, over 60,000 seniors reside in senior living communities, while almost 100% of those seniors filled out and returned ballots. Drop boxes, instituted throughout the battleground states due to COVID, collected hundreds of thousands of ballots. These are but two of the violations of election law that occurred in 2020. Each of those ballots were cast in violation of State law, perhaps turning the tide in the battle for the White House and Senate.

Ballot harvesting and ballot drop boxes are prohibited by State law in Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, all battleground states. TrueTheVote used geo-tracking of cell phones to identify “mules” that went from non-profits and Democrat offices to numerous ballot drop boxes, for numerous days during early voting, in all of the battleground states. This is the same technology that has been used to track and identify criminals that were in the area of a crime in order to place the suspect at the time and scene of a crime. But, according to the mainstream media, this technology is unreliable, although it is admissible in court as corroborating evidence.

Democrats are not interested in earning your vote. They aren’t interested in convincing the electorate that their policies are better for Americans. They aren’t interested in nominating the best and brightest candidates. Democrats are interested in collecting the most ballots with circles filled in for Democrat candidates. Votes are not what win elections, he who collects the most ballots for their side wins. Game the system efficiently and you won’t need to convince anyone that your candidates or policies are better.

Voting is not only a right; it is a great responsibility. Voting should not be easy. Vote totals should not be affected by overzealous partisans that pervert the law for their own gain. If you are not engaged, if you don’t think voting is important, if you don’t take your civic responsibility seriously, the voting process should not be made effortless for you. Laws are enacted for a reason. Without laws, we devolve into anarchy, with everyone for themselves. If one truly wants to end democracy, allow the Democrats to continue to turn our elections into a mockery. If we continue on this trajectory, our Constitutional Republic will be lost. Without free and fair elections, democracy will die.

A More Perfect Union

 The Left is Exposed

Not a red wave, but with Republicans regaining a majority in the House, perhaps a measure of sanity can return to our government. Democrat leadership will have the opportunity to reflect and could decide to reject their radical policies of division. Unfortunately, Democrats are unlikely to alter their strategy, believing staving off a predicted red wave validates their policies. Expect them to move further left and continue their assault on our Constitutional Republic. This nation is so polarized by political ideologies, unqualified candidates are elected solely based on the letter after their name on the ballot. Breaking through another glass ceiling, Pennsylvania elected the first vegetable to the US Senate. Socialism, here we come.

In the ‘50’s, Joe McCarthy falsely alleged that communists were everywhere, intent on destroying our democracy. History repeats itself as the Democrat party hurls dishonest accusations of “white supremacy” and “the radicalized right” as existential threats to democracy. President Biden echoes this sentiment, with a strategy that vilifies his political opponents and falsely accuses them as a threat to democracy. Just as McCarthy’s assertions were patently false, our “Divider in Chief’s” words also ring hollow. This tactic had limited success, as Democrats appear to have maintained a narrow majority in the Senate.

Our military is to “stand down” to investigate and root out any “right-wing” extremism within its’ ranks, emphasizing CRT and diversity, rather than building a competent fighting force. Though there is no valid intelligence that indicates its existence, the Left promises this danger to our democracy will be ferreted out and eliminated. Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene utters comments deemed inappropriate, and Democrats vote to remove her from all committee assignments. Ilhan Omar, AOC, Rashida Talib, Ayanna Pressley and Maxine Watters incite violence, transfer campaign contributions to family members and you can cue the crickets. The mainstream media, in a concerted effort to hasten political upheaval, unabashedly support leftist aspirations while disparaging all things conservative. The effort to drive their chosen narrative rather than report factual news, goes against all journalistic standards. This double standard is apparent and appalling.

Disagree with the Left on immigration, and you are racist. Challenge their unhinged desire to rid the planet of fossil fuels, and you are a science denier killing the planet. Follow the science in the fight against COVID-19, and you’ll be censured by social media and labeled a heretic by the mainstream media. Point out that there are differences between the genders and you’re homophobic, transphobic or just plain too stupid to understand that biological sex is in the eye of the beholder and is as fluid as water. Question voting irregularities in the 2020 Presidential election, and you’ll be de-platformed or cancelled. Parents that challenge “woke” curriculum are accused of domestic terrorism. The mainstream media amplifies vitriol emanating from the Left, reporting with supportive nods, while disparaging any conservatives that uphold the rule of law.

The Overton Window is an accepted theory that political change is driven by what the public is willing to consider and accept at that time. Typically, change is incremental, but now the pendulum has swung so steep and sharply to the left that many believe it irrevocably broken. The unthinkable has evolved into policy far too easily and rapidly. Democrat leadership’s reckless embrace of all things “woke” has driven hyper-partisanship and vilified dissent. A compliant news media propagandizes that electing conservative leadership will end democracy. Truth is, the Left does seek to end democracy.

Leftist ideology has enslaved the democrat party. The Left’s unbridled ambition to acquire and maintain power damages the very pillars of law and order by using government agencies to attack their political opponents. Leftism is a metastasized cancer that is destroying the very fabric of our society and nation. Cancer must be excised completely for the body to heal or it will return and spread. Leftism must be defeated. Unless Democrat leadership moderates, they must be voted out. The Left aspires to eliminate faith in God, end the Constitutional right to protect yourself, murder unborn children with impunity, open borders, eradicate their political opponents, indoctrinate our children with perverse sexual education and divide them by race. The Left will continue their unrelenting ambition to fundamentally transform this nation. Supporters of this madness need to wake up and recognize that the Democrat party has rejected established societal values. It’s time we realize we are not Democrats or Republicans. We are Americans and we need to start acting as such.

“A horrible and shocking thing has happened in the land: The prophets prophesy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and my people love it this way. But what will you do in the end?” Jeremiah 5:31

 

The American Ostrich

 

If we give them what they want, we will get what we deserve.

Cartoons often depict the ostrich hiding it’s head in the sand as danger approaches. Children will cover their eyes or hide when frightened. And we sometimes find ourselves turning away when faced with unpleasant circumstances, particularly when others are hurting or suffering. Ignorance is not bliss. Ignoring danger leads us to minimize the impending danger that is about to overwhelm us. If we fail to recognize the direction our nation is headed and the imminent danger it brings, we may just as well hide our collective heads in the sand. Just as the ride of Paul Revere awakened the populace to the advance of British troops, many are issuing warnings about those who would fundamentally transform our nation and redefine accepted morals, values and societal behavior. Ignore those warnings at your own risk.

There is a clear and present danger that lurks within our society. Too many in our society acquiesce to the gradual erosion of our Constitutional Republic and the enumerated rights that it grants. Their collective silence is deafening. Parents, too busy with their daily routines, fail to attend parent/teacher conferences. Curriculum is altered to mirror leftist ideology and far too many parents fail to engage, unaware of what their children are being taught. If we shirk our parental responsibilities and cede the responsibility to instill their values in their children to a government run school system, that unfortunately are more and more resembling indoctrination camps, we abdicate our roles as parents. When Terry McAuliffe the democrat running for Virginia Governor, Randi Weingarten, the President of the American Federation of Teachers, the National Association of School Boards and apparently, Merrick Garland, the Attorney General of the United States denigrate the rights of parents to challenge school boards, free speech is undermined and our nation fails.

Ever so slowly, the sleeping bear is awakening. Parents were able to see firsthand what their children were being taught while schools were shut down due to Covid-19 and broadcast virtually. And they did not like what they were seeing. Parents that had the audacity to attend school board meetings and voice their concerns are now considered “domestic terrorists” by the Department of Justice. Really? School board members are apparently triggered when parents demand a role in the education of their children? Why wouldn’t it be appropriate for those who fund education with their tax dollars and have children attending the schools that they paid for, have a say in how and what their children are taught and how their money is being spent? Loudon County, Virginia has become the flash point in the battle against Leftist ideology, such as Critical Race Theory and the embrace of "transgenderism". A very condescending and rude school board actually fanned the flames of anger and poked the “mama bears” in that district. This boiled over and led to the blue State of Virginia electing Republicans in the Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney General offices and flipped the State legislature from blue to red.

Many of us in this great nation should learn a great lesson by what happened in Virginia. When the electorate is engaged, change, for the greater good, will happen. The Left only seeks to divide us based on our differences. We need to unite our nation and embrace each other in spite of our differences. We are more alike than different, created by our Father in Heaven and equal in His sight. That is how we need to treat each other, like the brothers and sisters that we are. We need to learn to love our neighbors as ourselves. We need to understand and identify evil and reject it, and right now the democrat party is knee deep in all that is wrong with the world. If the democrats refuse to release their embrace of leftism, we need to reject them. Get engaged. Run for office or support those who share your values. We cannot sit back and let someone else do the heavy lifting. If we allow evil to triumph, we will have no one to blame but ourselves. We need more mama and papa bears motivated to protect our children and our nation. Will you stand up and be counted or will you hide your head in the sand?

Settled!

 

The following are some of the left’s settled facts;

Global warming is real and if we continue to burn fossil fuels and eat meat, the planet will be unable to support life in as little as 12 years.

Even though it has failed miserably and led to millions of deaths, socialism can work in the United States because it will be called democratic socialism.

There are an infinite number of genders.

The national debt is just numbers.

The “Green New Deal” will save us all from ourselves.

Follow the epidemiological experts and obey every protocol the CDC recommends, or pay the price in rising infections and deaths.  

My body, my choice, except when it comes to mandatory vaccinations.

As the left worships at the altar of “settled science”, they fail to properly understand what it is that they support. From the Science Council; “Science is the pursuit and application of knowledge and understanding of the natural and social world following a systematic methodology based on evidence.

Scientific methodology includes the following”:

Objective observation: Debate and ask questions. Gather information. Form a hypothesis. Test the predictions. Analyze the data. Draw a conclusion. Do the results match the conclusions, if so, publish results, if not, start over.

• Evidence: Proof. That which tends to prove or disprove any conclusions
• Experiment and/or observation as benchmarks for testing hypotheses
• Induction: reasoning to establish general rules or conclusions drawn from facts or examples
• Repetition: create the same result using the same processes
• Critical analysis: careful examination and evaluation of results and methods
• Verification and testing: critical exposure to scrutiny, peer review and assessment, in other words, utilize both positive and negative opinions. 

The left tends to overlook many of the tenets of scientific research. Unfortunately, just because you want to believe something, does not make it so. Generalities, not specifics dictate the leftist’s explanations of preferred policy and avoidance of any discussion that would tend to disprove that which they truly want to believe are the hallmarks of any argument by the left. Case in point; social media giants Facebook and Twitter routinely censor any COVID-19 medical opinions that differ from the “settled science” from the CDC and Dr. Anthony “Often Wrong” Fauci.

Therapeutics that may actually assist in the recovery of COVID-19 are labeled dangerous and ineffective. Hydroxychloroquine, a drug in use for over 50 years for the treatment of malaria, is panned by mainstream media and articles and discussion of said drug is banned from social media. Ivermectin, an FDA approved anti-parasitic drug, is derided by the mainstream media as a horse medication, even though it has been used as an effective treatment for COVID-19. Many drugs specifically designed to treat one disease can positively affect other maladies. I for one take gabapentin, an anti-seizure medication that also relieves nerve pain, which enables me to function semi-normally even with severe arthritis in my neck.

Another seldom reported fact is that if there are effective therapeutics to treat a disease, any vaccine cannot be granted an emergency use authorization by the FDA. If the media lived up to their role as the “Fourth Estate” to hold the powerful accountable, perhaps following the money trail may lead to the reason that only one therapeutic, Remdesivir, at a cost of $3000 per dose, was “approved” by the FDA. The media disparages this treatment as less than effective when treating COVID-19, even though President Trump recovered quickly after taking it. Take your vaccine and like it! Ever hear any reports from the mainstream media about taking vitamin C with zinc and Vitamin D to help ward off infections? Of course not!

What began as two weeks to slow the spread morphed into a never-ending string of government overreach to “Keep us safe” while violating our Constitutional rights. Slow the spread became stop any and all infections. Mitigation efforts to keep COVID-19 infections at bay served democrats very well in the November 2020 elections. They maintained a majority in the House, albeit a narrow majority. They flipped control of the Senate and they took back the White House without even having a legitimate candidate. The Delta variant of this disease is looking ever more likely as another opportunity to skirt election laws in an effort to maintain their power. All this over a disease that 85% of those infected are asymptomatic. That 10% suffer mild symptoms. That 5% are at risk for more severe symptoms. And that 98.85% of those infected recover completely.

Me thinks that thou protest too much. Those ever-compliant useful idiots that dutifully mask up, gladly accept their vaccinations, social distance and harbor a distrust of their neighbor are playing right into the hands of those who seek to rule, not govern. The ruling class looks upon us peons as low information sheep that cannot think for ourselves as they continue to push the envelope in a never-ending crusade to keep us all in our place. Time to wake up America. The only thing that is settled is that government was created to serve its’ citizens, not the other way around. If we continue to elect those who think their role is to lord over the masses, we will have no one to blame but ourselves. It is long past time to send those "rulers" to the unemployment line and elect those that understand their role is to represent the people, that they serve at the people’s pleasure and know to place the people’s needs above their own.

Virtuosity

 

Our nation needs good people to step up and serve.

Virtuous, adjective; Conforming to moral and ethical principles; morally excellent; upright. Virtue is a trait that is desirable and often ascribed to one who exhibits those rare qualities that sets them apart from others. Virtuous individuals place others and their well-being ahead of their own. A virtuous individual will not only endeavor to do what is honorable, but they will refrain from acting inappropriately. Virtue signaling “wokeness” is not only disingenuous, it is the new form of hypocrisy. Just as the Pharisees in Jesus’ time prayed in public, so that all could see their great sacrifice and devotion to God, the modern “Woke” hypocrite performs acts that show that they are “down with the struggle”. Virtue signaling has become quite the artform as our culture devolves, accepting all manner of depravity as the new normal. Who will be first on the block to put up their “Black Lives Matter”, “Save the Planet”, or “Defund the Police” signs in a prominent place in their front yard? What company will answer the siren call of leftists decrying another nonsensical micro-aggression that yesterday was an accepted norm in society? What school district will kowtow to the latest new and innovative racist lie and incorporate it into their curriculum?

And yet, there are far too many that stand idly by while this, once what was the greatest nation on earth, slides uncontrollably into the abyss. Who really cares that this beacon of freedom is rotting on the vine, descending into anarchy and socialism? The clamor of pushback is far too muted. Yes, parents are beginning to step up against Critical Race Theory, but it is much too little, much too late, as this divisive ideology is already overtaking our schools. Democrats are emboldened to say and do anything that furthers their hold on power and the mainstream media covers those lies with unabashed adoration. Truth becomes what the left proclaims. Democrats, with their slim majority, work overtime to codify those lies into law. The mainstream media uses their “news” programs to amplify this new “truth.” Anyone attempting to correct their lies will be declared racist and fact checkers will shut them down from social media.

Condescension and superiority are the most glaring and pronounced traits of “wokeness”. “Look at me, I’m supporting ideology that will irrevocably change society, yet will actually render me unacceptable and irrelevant to the brave new world that I am enabling.” Children have become no more that coffee table conversation starters as parents brag about the fluidity of their child’s gender, failing to understand the irreparable harm being done to their young psyches. Sesame Street, the PBS children’s television program, decides it is appropriate to engage Drag Queens and promote gay puppets. Make sure your kindergartner pays attention when they are encouraged to experiment with homosexuality, transgenderism and any other sexual proclivity that is the next new thing to consider. Make sure your child is ready for counseling when they learn to hate themselves for their “white privilege” and to accept blame for wrongs done by persons that have no relation to them but for the color of their skin. During the Cold War, American citizens that were Soviet sympathizers, were actually reviled by the Politburo and referred to as “useful idiots”. Today’s useful idiots sympathize with leftists that want nothing more than to tear down society and rebuild it in their image, or what is better known as communism. Antifa is populated with well to do, mostly white college students that have no idea what is means to be a productive member of society. Their unbridled, yet unjustified anger rails against the economic system that affords them the ways and means to become professional anarchists.

Traditional societal norms such as promoting a good work ethic than can enable one to succeed is deemed racist. One must carefully consider whether or not to open the door for a woman in fear of being labeled sexist. Attending church or practicing one’s faith opens the practitioner to the charge of being hateful and practicing exclusivity. Pine for the days where neighbors looked out for one another, shared a mutual respect for the safety of their community and actually helped others in need and you are accused of harkening back to the days of Jim Crow and slavery. Love, unite and forgive your neighbor? The left’s love is divisiveness, retribution and to promote the hatred of your neighbor, unless he agrees with or looks like you.

The future of our nation is hanging in the balance. If the left succeeds in fundamentally transforming this great nation, there is no coming back. There is nowhere else to go where freedom reigns and everyone is free to chase their dreams. There will be nowhere to hide from the hate that the left spews and, like it or not, the vast majority of citizens in this nation are the targets of that hate. It is now more important than ever that good people sacrifice for this great nation and seek public office. There are far too many politicians that bend with the wind and forfeit their values and morals in order to appease. We need honest people that stand fast when faced with difficult decisions and choose to properly represent those they were elected to serve, no matter the pushback. The solution to what ails our society rests with you and I. if you decide to stand by and let this country fall, you will have to be the one to explain to your grandchildren how you stood idly by while their hopes and dreams were destroyed by the insanity that is the left. Will you answer the call to serve?
