Weak Minded

 

Useful idiots abound on the left.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Accountable

 

Obama intentionally fostered divisiveness and society is paying the price.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

 

 

 

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.

 

 

Never Enough

On June 26^th, 2015 the United States Supreme Court ruled that same-sex marriage was legal in all 50 states. Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for the majority, “They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The constitution grants them that right.” This ruling was universally celebrated as recognizing equal rights for all under the law. When Justice Kennedy opened this “Pandora’s Box,” he failed to understand that the innate selfishness of humankind is seldom satisfied with just one bite of the apple. A foot in the door was destined to reach beyond that ruling’s intent. In less than 8 years that decision has indelibly altered the trajectory of Western society.

On March 8, 2023, the United Nations published Principal 16 – Consensual Sexual Conduct, "Sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual in fact, if not in law." — International Commission of Jurists, commissioned by the UN. Additionally in the report, "In this context, the enforcement of criminal law should reflect the rights and capacity of persons under 18 years of age to make decisions about engaging in consensual sexual conduct and their right to be heard in matters concerning them." This is a tacit call to normalize and decriminalize pedophilia. The effort to hyper-sexualize children and desensitize them to alternative sexual practices is evidenced by curricula and policies embraced by many schools.

The citizens of the United States find themselves in a quandary. The deliberate erosion of long-held principles and accepted social mores will inevitably destabilize society. What was normal is now considered "phobic" and the vestiges of white patriarchal society. Since that fateful 2015 ruling, society has been inundated with covert and overt overtures in an effort to redefine sexuality. Sex is the aphrodisiac that traps the powerful and powerless alike. Unrestrained sexuality is destroying the very fabric of our nation and the "sheeple" prefer to ignore the decline and virtue signal with their tolerance and acceptance of diverse lifestyle choices.

Decadence and corruption overwhelmed the Roman Empire. Borders were neglected and their military left in disarray, unable to defend their outposts and borders. The United States finds itself occupying similar ground. Military leaders focus their efforts in confronting and eliminating “white supremacy” within its’ ranks, neglecting the responsibility to train a fighting force capable of defending the country. Instead of fostering camaraderie, divisive critical race theory is taught that pits our fighting men and women against those whose skin color is different than their own. Soldiers that refused an experimental vaccine are dishonorably discharged and refused re-entry after the deficient efficacy of the vaccine is exposed and mandates have ended. Our government spends our children’s inheritance on social and climate justice boondoggles while underfunding the military. An invading army will meet little resistance.

Roman corruption is dwarfed by the weaponization of government and the utterly corrupted nature of politicians. President Biden is himself embroiled in an influence-peddling scheme run by his son Hunter and his brother James. $Millions have been laundered from enemy nations to various members of his family. Government’s highest-paid employee, Dr. Anthony Fauci, perjures himself before Congress, willfully and intentionally attempting to shield the origins of Covid-19, and uses taxpayer funds to dole out grants to scientists willing to “toe his line.” Money is the root of all evil. There is good reason that Washington DC is called the “Swamp” and the “Deep State” is running amok.

Our southern border is virtually eliminated by the Biden administration as millions of illegal immigrants are allowed entry and transported throughout the country. A nation without a sovereign border is not a nation at all. With these immigrants, who are not properly vetted, comes crime, drugs, human trafficking, and communicable diseases that have been long eradicated in the US. Non-profits and faith-based organizations work with the government to transport illegal immigrants into communities without notification. Elections have consequences and we are suffering from poor choices. The “Bad Orange Man” was ousted, but the alternative has been far worse. Mainstream media continues to push an agenda rather than reporting facts, yet many blindly support this false narrative.

“A horrible and shocking thing has happened in the land. The prophets (media) prophesy (report) falsely, and the priests (government) rule by their own (not the people’s) authority.” The silence of good people is deafening. This nation will decline exponentially unless good people refuse to allow it. Will you stand by idly, or will you try to save your nation?
