America No More…

 

After watching with over a hundred others the newly released movie, Civil War, I left the theater stunned, and I was not alone. Was it a good movie? Just a deeply unsettling one! Could it really happen? You don’t even want to imagine it! But with Biden’s assault on America continuing and Trump reemerging as the favored GOP candidate, the American division is growing. More and more citizens are getting angrier as their standard of living is in jeopardy and illegals are getting benefits citizens can only dream of. 

Spoiling the movie’s plot is never appropriate, but when Western forces from Texas, Florida, and even California take on the elected President, the country is left in a civil war. We watch as desensitized media professionals cover the death of hundreds of American citizens. To the film’s media, the war is just a once-in-a-lifetime story that deserves to be captured one picture at a time. After all, it’s the media’s job. They are just feeding citizens what they want—blood, gore, winners, and victims. What would happen if America descends into such chaos? This movie provides one disturbing view, one that, God help us, must never happen. 

One thing is clear, when a country loses trust in its leader’s ability to preserve their cherished freedoms and ensure equal treatment under the law, even insurrection seems somehow possible. That is a nightmare no American should have to entertain, but more and more Americans seem to be losing hope in the future of our country. They don’t trust elections. Many don’t even like the Presidential choices presented to them. 

The Founding Fathers valued freedom enough to unleash a revolution against the greatest power at the time. Enough citizens joined them in securing what most at the time believed impossible, independence. Yes, insurrection hatched our beloved America. Belief in equal rights and freedom are powerful forces that have always driven patriotic Americans to action. 

Even with our differences, most Americans believe in property rights, voting rights, law enforcement to keep us safe, freedom of speech, and personal responsibility. Unfortunately, more and more Americans feel these values are in question, and they are not sure America can be saved!

Many Americans no longer even believe that elections will produce a lawful winner. They don’t trust the voting machines. They want paper ballots that can be counted. They don’t believe multiple days are needed. Hasn’t one day of voting always been enough? They want required IDs and signed mail-in ballots. They fear ballot harvesting is just another name for ‘manufacturing” all the votes you need to ensure a fraudulent victory. Are American fair elections no more!

Many no longer believe that the enforcement of law is fair and sure. While former President Donald Trump has been charged with multiple “crimes,” President Joe Biden’s similar actions aren’t even charged. Hunter Biden’s influence peddling with money set aside for the “Big Guy” are not even covered in the mainstream media. The Dept. of Justice is quick to charge Trump, but with the Bidens, we hear nothing but crickets. People who commit crimes are being let go instead of being held accountable. Is American law and order no more!

Under President Trump, our border was finally more under control. Under Biden, his open border has been continually flooding our country with illegals from around the world. They come expecting benefits at the expense of taxpaying citizens. Illegals overwhelm services in our urban areas. Legal immigrants had to wait years to enter and are fuming at this invasion of illegals rushing to the front of the line and expecting to be accepted, supported, and allowed to become citizens. Is America’s secure border no more!

We thought in America, your home was your castle. If you work to buy the home of your dreams, you were sure that your property rights were secure in a community that you loved. But today, squatters are taking over vacant homes and fending off owners who want them to leave their property. Illegals are being told to come to America, find an empty home, and move in. In the name of equity, governments are rezoning the suburbs and requiring the building of low-income housing where it is not wanted. Are America’s property rights no more! 

Do you believe America is lost? Do you believe nothing can reverse this march to chaos? Do you believe that it is time to buy your own guns to protect your family when the government won’t? Is a civil war coming? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you are in danger of losing the optimistic attitude that has characterized Americans for two centuries. This is our country. This is not the time for surrender. It’s time to fight to preserve America the best way you can—vote for candidates who promise to preserve the rights you value most. 

Your vote does matter. There are no perfect candidates, but the party positions make a difference in this critical election. If you want law and order, secure borders, fair elections, property rights, and a return to personal responsibility, there is only one party to support. Vote for every GOP candidate you are given the opportunity to support, or it may very well be America no more!

An Utterly Laughable Hypocrisy

 

Greetings, everyone, and unhappy Tax Day; today is the day we send our hard-earned dollars to a federal government that cannot balance its checkbook. We are constantly berated about paying a fair share and incessantly pummeled with rhetoric about government investments, truly an oxymoronic reference—emphasis on moron. Now, I could go on and on about the insidious hypocrisy of sending our resources to a federal government that wastes it on ideological boondoggles, but that is not the point of this missive. There will be many others who will cover this absurd situation where we find the net interest on our debt now surpasses the amount we spend on our national security and defense.

And that is what I seek to discuss in this week's offering.

Recently, some 19 retired military Generals and Admirals, along with former top civilian defense officials, filed an Amicus (Friends of the Court) Brief with the US Supreme Court. Their brief outlines their opposition to former President Donald Trump's plea for immunity from prosecution for actions taken during his tenure as president. Now, get this: they believe that the SCOTUS granting of such poses a significant threat to national security. The SCOTUS will hear this case on April 25th. This group is warning that there will be threats to our national security and democratic principles if former President Trump's claims of presidential immunity for official acts were to be accepted. Now, I just had to repeat the assertion of this group because you have to understand the sheer and utterly laughable hypocrisy they present. The money quote from their 38-page brief is, "Should the theory of absolute immunity prevail, it will risk jeopardizing America's standing as a guardian of democracy in the world and further feeding the spread of authoritarianism, thereby threatening the national security of the United States and democracies around the world."

Ha! 

No, you cannot make this stuff up. Here are folks, including some who were on the original laughable hypocrisy of the 51 intelligence officials who declared Hunter Biden's laptop as Russian disinformation, saying that Trump is a threat to our national security.

How about Joe Biden selling off our Strategic Petroleum Reserves to our No. 1 geopolitical foe, China? Or how about undermining our very own oil and gas industry and reversing the path of our energy independence and dominance? Now we are begging hat in hand once again to those who seek the demise of our country. And just months ago, Biden signed an order to freeze our export of liquified natural gas (LNG), which forces more of our global allies to seek that resource from another geopolitical foe, Vladimir Putin and Russia.

I ponder if they would consider this to be a threat to our national security. Or the fact that Joe Biden abandoned over $80B of US military equipment to the Taliban in Afghanistan in a complete strategic, operational, and tactical debacle he praised as a success...to include the deaths of American Marines, Soldiers, and Sailors. How about the fact that Afghanistan is now, once again, a thriving base of operations for Islamic terrorist groups, namely ISIS-K, who just enacted a brutal terrorist attack in Russia? Any threat to our national and global security?

I wonder if these 19 retired Generals, Admirals, and senior civilian defense officials think opening up our borders to millions of illegal immigrants, including single military-age males, poses no threat to our national security? Heck, FBI Director Christopher Wray just testified to such not too long ago before Congress. Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of Americans who have lost their lives due to the chemical warfare agent fentanyl—which emanates from China. There can be no debate that it was Joe Biden and his unconstitutional 90+ executive orders that opened our border to invasion that's a threat to our national security. I guess these delusional individuals just do not see it that way.

Biden has continued the decimation of our military readiness, capability, and capacity. Our force cannot meet recruiting and retention objectives...but hey, our Armed Forces know their proper pronouns, accept mentally disturbed gender dysphoric individuals and embrace cultural Marxism.

And authoritarianism?

What do you call it when you mandate what type of appliances, vehicles, and amount of water in toilets Americans can have? What do you call it when you weaponize the federal government agencies against your ideological opponents, like parents who want better educational opportunities, not indoctrination, of their children? What do you call it when you seek to designate said parents as "domestic terrorists," kick in the doors of pro-life activists in the middle of the night and infiltrate the Catholic Church? But you say and do nothing when supporters of an Islamic terrorist group that killed and took Americans hostage on October 7th, 2023, take to our streets and chant "Death to America"?

I wonder if these 19 Generals, Admirals, and senior civilian defense officials agree with Joe Biden that no amendment to the US Constitution is absolute? Hey, those of you who signed onto this letter and took an oath to support and defend the Constitution, speak up, please! Or how about using the federal government in coordination with private sector tech information companies to censor the freedom of speech and expression of Americans? Is that not a threat to our democratic principles and Constitutional rights? I suppose the signatories of this Amicus Brief think it is perfectly fine to have illegals voting in our elections and count them in our census?

I think y'all reading this piece have now gotten the point. Once again, this is an utterly laughable hypocrisy that evidences the two-tiered system of justice, basically altering right and wrong in our Republic. These people who signed their names to this Amicus Brief are no friends of our Constitutional Republic, nor the TRUE American people. They are nothing more than politicized hacks, puppets, cymbal clanging monkeys who are the ones who pose a threat to the very existence of our country. They are the friends of the progressive socialist leftists and Marxists and shamefully have exposed themselves as such. Every one of them should be condemned.

But hey, I am a forgiving fella, and I will allow you, the treasonous and delusional 19, to withdraw your support for this Amicus Brief; you have 24 hours after the publishing of this piece. If you refuse to do so, then your names will go right there with Benedict Arnold, who was once a revered hero of our Revolutionary War...until his personal feelings became more important than our national interest.

Joe Biden, not Donald Trump, is the greatest threat to our national security and representative democracy. He is our biggest measure of authoritarianism. His fecklessness and weakness have brought the world to this point of global chaos and calamity. Anyone believing otherwise is in denial of facts and is aiding and abetting the assault on the foundations of our republic.

Communists Betray Workers, Teachers Unions Betray Students, Civil Rights Organizations Betray Blacks

 

The Communist Party of the Soviet Union -- like most communist parties -- came to power as the great defender of workers.

In reality, the Soviet Communist Party didn't give a hoot about Russian workers. The party was nothing more than a totalitarian organization that used workers to gain power -- and then suppressed the proletariat, just as it suppressed every other group. One of the first things the Communist Party did after attaining power was disband independent labor unions and prohibit workers' strikes. Yes, the "workers' party" banned strikes.

The one major exception was the Chinese Communist Party, which came to power as the great defender of peasants. And the CCP slaughtered about 60 million of them.

This has been the modus operandi of every left-wing group everywhere: Claim concern for some group, and use that group to fool people -- specifically, naive liberals, who share few values with the Left but have frequently served as useful idiots for the Left. Liberals do so to this day.

Teachers Unions

Teachers unions are nothing more than left-wing groups that use alleged concern for students to attain and retain power. The reality, however, is while they care about teachers, they harm students far more than they help them.

One example is teachers unions' opposition to school choice. Those who actually care about students support the right of parents to choose their children's schools -- just as many teachers do when they send their own children to schools of their choice.

A second example is teachers unions' making it nearly impossible to fire incompetent teachers.

A third example was teachers unions' demands that schools lock down for nearly two years during the COVID-19 era. The unions did so despite there being no scientific evidence in support of school lockdowns and despite ample warnings that many children would suffer intellectually, scholastically, emotionally and psychologically.

Moreover, wrote John H. Cochrane of the Hoover Institution in the Wall Street Journal, "When schools went remote, parents found out what was actually going on inside the classrooms. Teachers were coaching students to hate themselves, their country and their religious traditions and sexualizing young children."

The last point brings us to a fourth example: Teachers rob young students of their sexual innocence with premature talk of, and books that deal with, overt sexual activity, and the infamous use of drag queens to perform in front of children as young as 6 years old.

Just how left-wing teachers organizations are was made clear by the sympathetic left-wing magazine The Nation in January:

"A rank-and-file campaign inside the National Education Association is demanding the president stop 'sending military funding, equipment, and intelligence to Israel.' ... But the rank-and-file campaign goes beyond (that). ... Members want the NEA (National Education Association) to revoke its endorsement of Joe Biden for the 2024 presidential race until the president ... stops 'sending military funding, equipment, and intelligence to Israel.'"

That was only two months after Oct. 7.

Civil Rights Organizations

Most civil rights organizations are also essentially left-wing groups. They use alleged concern for blacks to attain and retain power, but they harm blacks considerably more than they help them.

A glaring example is the near-universal opposition of civil rights groups to school choice despite the fact that black Americans overwhelmingly support it. According to a 2023 RealClear Opinion Research poll, 73% of blacks support school choice -- two points more than whites. They do so because large majorities of black students in public schools perform far below grade-level standards.

The reason the largest civil rights organization, the NAACP, opposes school choice has nothing to do with concern for blacks. It is that the left-wing position -- again, the NAACP is a left-wing organization -- on school choice is dictated by teachers unions.

Other civil rights organizations' positions that harm blacks include labeling as "racist" the most effective solution to racism: widespread colorblindness; supporting separate dorms and graduations for black college students; and support for lowering academic and professional standards to facilitate black advancement.

Feminist Organizations

Feminist organizations are additional examples of essentially left-wing organizations. The group they use to attain and retain power is women. Just as other left-wing interest groups, they harm the group on whose behalf they allegedly fight -- in this case, women -- far more than they help them.

The most obvious example is the support of major feminist organizations for men who say they are women participating in women's sports.

From the website of the National Women's Law Center:

"The National Women's Law Center (NWLC) unequivocally supports the inclusion of trans women in women's sports. And if you call yourself a feminist, you should too."

From the website of The Women's Sports Foundation (WSF):

"The Women's Sports Foundation supports the right of all athletes, including transgender athletes, to participate in athletic competition. ..."

In 2022, the WSF wrote a letter to the NCAA protesting any diminution of the right of biological males who say they are females to participate in women's athletics. The letter was cosigned, as expected, by LGBTQIA+ organizations but also by two major feminist organizations in addition to the Women's Sports Federation: the National Organization for Women and the National Women's Political Caucus.

Damaging women has been the primary legacy of organized feminism for the last half-century. That there are more depressed women, especially young women, today than at any other time in modern American history is directly attributable to left-wing influence generally (no religion, no country, no future) and to feminist doctrines specifically: Career is more important than marriage and family, and women can do just fine without a man to love and be loved by.

LGBTQIA+ Organizations

Perhaps the ultimate example of left-wing contempt for the groups they claim to represent is "Queers for Palestine." Palestinian queers have no rights; they face persecution and even death if they expose themselves to their society. Israeli queers are by far the safest, happiest and freest in the Middle East. But hating Israel is the left-wing position. At any cost.

‘Our Constitution Was Made Only for a Moral and Religious People

 

“Our Constitution was made only for moral and religious people.  It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”—John Adams 

I believe I have demonstrated in many articles that Leftists hate God and religion more than anything else because they cannot allow the slaves in their Marxist system to have any higher allegiance than their totalitarian government masters.  It is also obvious, however, that Leftists loathe history almost as much as they do God and religion because true history (especially American history) is as devastating to their cause as God is.  But then, their god, Marx, said, “Keep people from their history and they are easily controlled.”  The Democrat Party and their adherents are doing everything possible to accomplish just that.

Recently, I referred the Adams quote at the beginning of this column to a Leftist.  His response was, “Conservatives have always taken that quote out of context.”  No, conservatives have not done so, the quote means exactly what Mr. Adams said, as I shall prove in this series.  But this is typical Leftist historical revisionism.  While America’s Founders certainly did not establish a theocracy, from that fact Leftists draw the utterly erroneous conclusion that our Founders meant that religion should have absolutely no influence except in private affairs—and even then, should be regulated by the government, a la China.  Letting religion (God) influence policy is anathema to these people.  But this Leftist ideological canard would, frankly, be totally shocking to our Founders.  They did not establish a theocracy, but neither did they intend that religion would have no part to play in American affairs outside the home.  God is the God of…everything, including government, not just the God of private life.

I also quoted my Leftist correspondent Andrew Jackson’s statement, “That Book (the Bible) is the rock on which our Republic rests.”

“But, but, but,” the Leftist responded, “Jackson was a slave owner.”  This kind of hypocrisy and illogical argumentation is typical of Leftists.  In their own eyes, Leftism is the “god” of humanity.  They establish the acceptable (always evolving) moral standard and judge everyone, including previous generations, by it.  They never try to put history into its context; they always judge others, even in history, by their current, modern, continually changing Leftist standard.  That’s why they can condemn anybody they don’t agree with.  If you don’t measure up to THEIR canon of behavior, you are a horrible human being, a Nazi or racist or “white supremacist”—often worth disposing of entirely, thank you, Chairman Mao and General Secretary Stalin.

But the hypocrisy here is clearly manifest.  People who murder unborn babies, mutilate children, allow near-mass murder in the streets of cities they govern, and destroy countless lives through lying, unscientific transgender dogma, have absolutely no right to judge anyone else about anything.  EXCEPT—those things are part of the current, ever-changing Leftist “morality,” thus not to be condemned.  But, the problem is, IF morality is, as they insist, “ever-changing,” how can they condemn slaveholders for submitting to the “ever-changing” morality of their own time?  Hypocrisy, thy name is Leftist.

Unfortunately for Leftists, Jackson’s quote is the exact truth.  Nearly everybody in early America believed that the Bible was the foundation of American society.  “But, Jackson was a slave owner!”  This brings us to another absolute of Leftist historical revisionism and ideological hypocrisy:  find a flaw, or an imperfect motive, in the messenger, and that immediately frees us from having to believe or submit to any truth he/she teaches.  Because Jackson was a “slave owner,” that automatically means we don’t have to believe anything he says.  Donald Trump is a terrible person who writes mean tweets, so we shouldn’t listen to anything he says.  That standard, of course, doesn’t apply to Democrats.  Uh, modern-day Democrats, not Jacksonian Democrats.

However, truth is truth is truth, regardless of who speaks it.  We are responsible for believing and obeying the truth, even if the devil teaches it.  None of us (especially Leftists) are pure, including the men who founded our country.  But the impurity of life or motive doesn’t change the truth, as much as Leftists wish it did.  “The truth is incontrovertible.  Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is” (Winston Churchill).  Incidentally, quotes about the influence of the Bible and Judeo-Christian morality on America by earlier generations of great Americans could be multiplied exponentially.  But Leftists can’t have that.  They want to morph American history into opposition to Christianity so that they can create the godless, totalitarian government THEY want.  And make you the new Democratic Party slaves.

Leftist hypocrisy is everywhere.  Another example:  they need to get guns out of the 

hands of the murdering criminals they’ve created in cities they govern before they start trying to take them away from innocent Americans who have never hurt anybody with their firearms.  But again, that isn’t what this is all about.  It is totally about absolute power and controlling other people, the cardinal element of Leftist ideology.  Power, not freedom, is their mantra.  And they won’t take guns away from monsters because they need societal chaos.  The more chaos there is in a society, the more need there is (they believe) for the government to step in and “control” that society.  In other words, more power for the government (i.e., them).  A responsible, moral, self-controlled, virtuous person is the LAST thing the Left wants because people like that don’t need government!  The Leftist wants more murder in American streets increased moral perversity and unrestrained hedonism.  Such things are the very source and foundation of their grasping for power.

This brings me back to John Adams and his quote at the beginning of this essay, and why the Left hates him so much and must lie about his statement.  More on what Adams actually meant in my second article in this series.

If This Report Is True About Biden and Iran, There Should Be Impeachment Hearings

 

This report about the Iranian strikes on Israel over the weekend is disturbing. It paints Joe Biden and America in a terrible light. It reinforces the notion that Israel is truly alone in its fight against radical Islamic terrorism. Call impeachment hearings if this is true. 

Where I’m a bit reserved is the source: it’s from Turkish officials. The story goes that Iran informed Turkey of their plans and that the Biden administration was aware of the strikes. Turkey was reportedly told to relay a message to Tehran: keep the attacks “within certain limits” (via Jerusalem Post) [emphasis mine]: 

So Biden basically greenlit Iran’s attack on Israel… https://t.co/znfPmsXSCd— Brent Scher (@BrentScher) April 14, 2024

Iran informed Turkey in advance of its planned operation against Israel, a Turkish diplomatic source told Reuters on Sunday, adding that Washington had conveyed to Tehran via Ankara that any action it took had to be “within certain limits.”

Turkey, which has denounced Israel for its campaign on Gaza, said earlier on Sunday that it did not want a further escalation of tensions in the region. 

The Turkish source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan had spoken to both his US and Iranian counterparts in the past week to discuss the planned Iranian operation, adding Ankara had been made aware of possible developments. 

Turkey is essentially a dictatorship, so taking their word on anything is no better than believing what’s on North Korean state media. Iran was telegraphing the strikes, which were executed in retaliation for an Israeli airstrike that killed two Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps generals earlier this month. Everyone knew this was coming, and Joe Biden still went on vacation this weekend. That’s bad enough—allegedly telling the Iranians, more or less, they could attack but “within certain limits” is baffling, dangerous, and a complete dereliction of duty.

Iran launched an array of ballistic and cruise missiles, along with over 100 kamikaze drones, against Israel yesterday.
