As a thirty plus year educator, I have learned how to spot behavior patterns in people. When students walk into your classroom, it’s important to get initial impressions of their personalities. It’s how you can begin to know how best to teach them. Of course after time, teachers get to know the students in more depth and adjust their strategies.

But, this skill becomes second nature. It becomes easier to determine the same judgments for many different people.

It’s this skill that gives me a phrase to describe what is going on in the current regime in D.C.; complete disconnection.

I’ve lived through many administrations. None of them, NONE of them, gave me this impression at any point. Even the ones I didn’t like. My impressions of each were:

Kennedy: Family man. I was young but I felt safe with JFK in office. I knew he was in control and would protect our country.

Johnson: Overbearing and self serving, LBJ was about himself, always, and would screw anybody at anytime to get what he wanted. Still, there was some connection between him and the people.

Nixon: Awkward, Needy. I could never quite figure him out. He seemed desperate. However, I never felt like he was distant from the people.

Ford: Short term, never had much of a read on him

Carter- Overwhelmed, cared about people but just couldn’t get past his feelings to accomplish anything.

Reagan-Caring and committed, he made a connection to people. Whether you thought it was real or not, it was there.

Bush 41: Nice man, seemed to care. I liked his wife much better than him. But, he did have a self depreciation that resonated with people.

Clinton: charismatic. I despised him but he did seem to have the ability to pretend to care.

GW Bush: friendly good old boy. Without 9-11, I think he would have been a mediocre footnote in history. But, many of us could relate to him if only through the patriotism of a national disaster.

Obama: Smooth and Narcissistic. However, he seemed to at least try to appear to care.

Trump: Blustery and energetic. I think he cared about our country and our people, even the ones who didn’t like him.

But, when I watch this regime I see nothing. I see no connection on a personal or political level. Biden is a blank shell, doing what he is told, signing what he is told to sign, and pretending to do “things.”

For example, while he was signing all the Executive Orders, there was NOTHING there. No statement about how they were going to help people, do great things for our country, NADA.

His “statements” and speeches, even his inauguration speech, are canned ramblings that make no sense. Even when he talks about “unity” and “build back better,” it doesn’t seem to mean anything to him emotionally. He actually sounds like a hostage being forced to make a statement.

Some might say that this is because he has to wear a mask. That doesn’t fly with me. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. His eyes are souless, lifeless .

Others say that it’s because we live in such a divided country. Nope. It’s in times like these that true leaders work even harder to connect with everyone. Biden seems perfectly content and nonplussed to continue to enact “his” agenda no matter who it alienates and hurts, even if they are his supporters. Thousands lose jobs, and he is flat lining. Women lose the ability to compete on an even playing field, and that is okay with him. Vital medicine becomes instantly unaffordable to people who need it, and, nothing.

Even when he signs orders that make his base happy, he has no joy or passion for what he is doing.

Say what you will about Trump, at least he had passion and emotion for his agenda.

There really is no valid excuse for this dramatic disconnection between Biden and our citizens other than he either doesn’t care about us OR he is being forced to do what others are telling him. Again, he seems to be a hostage who will bow to his masters no matter what. That fact and the constant monitoring by his “handlers,” ( Jill, Kamala, Kerry, etc.) lead me to believe he is being told what to do. He doesn’t have the mental capacity or will to even think or care about the effects on people.

Occasionally, he will lapse back into one of his “tales” of the past ( and they are tales, tall ones), and there is a small spark of life. But even that seems to be channeling something he might have been in past and that he is no longer.

Just to be clear, there are others displaying this disconnection. Pelosi seems to live in a world constructed only in her drunken mind. She only shows emotion when a real, probing question is asked. Then she blows up and storms off. McConnell is only here for the payoff and he doesn’t care about the repurcussions. And of course, there is Romney who has either decided there’s a new role for him in this world or he has been blackmailed beyond belief. They prove that some Republicans have “checked out ” and “moved on ” from serving the citizens of this country.

Even new members of the administration are not “with us.” Kerry is so out of touch with real people that he thinks oil field workers can become solar panel manufacturers. Jen Psaki thinks that blather and promises to “circle back” will get her out of press conferences quicker. Fauci can’t quite remember what day it is and how many masks people should be wearing.

And not a real emotional connection with the people from a single one of them, including the trans woman.

Why is that? Why are some people in government doing an impression of the cardboard cutouts in the stands at the Super Bowl?

It’s obvious to me. They really don’t care and can’t connect with us. They no longer view us as important or as the people THEY serve, they work for. The biggest evidence of this are the physical barriers they have built around them. Not only are they disconnected from us, but they know what they are doing is wrong and could anger many. It’s even to the extent that they think those of us who disagree are domestic terrorists. But, they serve other masters so we are not part of their mission. They view the Socialist agenda as paramount. Sort of like Stalin and Mao.

And, by the way, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, illegal immigrants, that includes you as well. You are insignificant to them. You are pawns to whom they might dole out a crumb now and then, but only when forced to.

So, get used to it. Get used to the agenda being promoted regardless of the needs of the people. Get used to your calls, letters, emails, etc. being meaningless to them. Get used to elections being carefully managed and stolen so that their side “wins.” Unless….

We can find people who do care about us. There are some Republicans and Democrats who seem to want to serve the people.They are standing up and fighting right now. We need to support these people as much as possible but also to understand that some of them won’t be able to take the heat and will fall by the wayside.

Trump made a connection with us. He took the heat and stayed strong. Yes, some people said he left us high and dry, but did he? With all he was up against, it’s amazing that he still cares, even as they attempt to destroy him.

There are others who can do the same, but they will need US. Strength is in numbers and that is the one thing we have. And they will need our strength for a very long time.

Get out. Make connections. Find the warriors who will give a damn.

In front of our county courthouse is a statue that commemorates the “Talbot Boys,” eighty four soldiers from our county that fought for the Confederacy in the Civil War. It has been there since 1916.

Recently, it has become a cause of division in the county ( as if we needed more). One side wants the statue moved from its prominent place on the Courthouse Lawn because it is offensive to African Americans. The other side wants to keep it there for its historical value. Both sides are passionate. It is a subject of discussion in every County Council meeting.

It’s like other movements across the country where statues of many different historical figures are being destroyed by “social justice” groups. It doesn’t even matter if the subjects of the monument or statue were people who fought against discrimination, they are destroyed also.

I think it is part of a bigger plan that may have little to do with the history of our country but more about the rights of our citizens.

My proof of this plan exists in plain sight every day in the impeachment trial of former President Trump.

The Democrats are clearly ignoring the Constitution as it applies to impeachment and even more important, bills of attainder. If you don’t know what the latter is, it is when a legislature declares a person or persons guilty of a crime and punishing them without a trial. Kings in Europe used them all the time to get rid of political foes or just people they didn’t like. They are strictly prohibited by the Constitution.

One would think that they would look at the Constitution and give up this scam. But, they haven’t and they won’t. The actions they are taking will prove my point as I discuss it later.

Not only are they ignoring the Constitution and therefore the law, they are also creating and ignoring evidence about the President’s supposed “crimes.”

The initial creation is a claim that Trump called Mike Lee by accident by misdialing him instead of Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville. Trump supposedly asked Tuberville ( not knowing it was Senator Lee) to make more objections to the Biden’s election vote count. This was relayed to the Democrats by, surprise surprise, a reporter.

Except it’s not true. Senator Lee said it never happened and that he was furious that the Democrats would put it in their evidence without even verifying it with him. Come on, Mike, have you ever met your Democrat counterparts? The Democrats were shamed into removing the claim. ( That, in itself is shocking since I have never seen any of them do the right thing even when shamed.)

Then, there’s the photoshopped tweet of Jennifer Lynn Lawrence, the Representative not the stupid actress, which was done by serial fart master and China sex toy Rep. Eric Swalwell. The tweet was supposedly shown to have the blue check that verifiees her account. Except she doesn’t have that blue check. It was an attempt to make the tweet carry more “weight.”

Probably the worst thing the Dem’s did was to take President Trump’s speech on January 6th and edit out the words “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” You see, if they left those words in there, their whole case would fall faster than Kevin Spacey’s reputation. I guess I can now be a “fact checker” and say, “False.”

It’s clear they have nothing that supports what is going on. But I don’t think they care. Here’s why.

Although their ultimate goal is to ruin Trump forever and keep him from running again, there is a bigger prey in their sites. It’s the Constitution.

Remember that tyrants such as Mao, Stalin, Hitler, and Chavez enslaved countries that had laws, had constitutions. They did it by getting rid of or ignoring those constitutions and laws. It wasn’t all at once, it was bit by bit and it was done with the knowledge and acceptance of the citizens. Media in their countries spread their lies and convinced those citizens that these constitutions and laws were flawed and needed to be destroyed for the “greater good.” Incoveinient protections that prevented the tyrant’s suggestions had to be obliterated. I guess this is what Lawrence Tribe means when he claims the Constitution is “flexible. “It can be bent to the desires and goals of any two bit politician like Pelosi or Schumer.

Even when you see Pelosi read the Constitution, you can hear the disgust in her voice. She claims she wants to “fulfillll her Constitutional duty” all the while knowing she would like it gone. Obama, an alleged Constitutional “expert” once complained that he hated how it constrained him. Heck, Dementia Joe Biden couldn’t even remember most of it, calling it “the thing.” Obviously that memory lapse has continued through 70 plus executive orders.

So, as Jen Psaki would say, let me circle back to my point. The Dems and all of their lackeys are focusing their energies on destroying the Constitution. It starts with destroying historical monuments and statues they don’t like because they remind them of our countries negative moments. Then, it extends to those monuments and statues of the people who started this country and created the Constitution. History is swiftly and severely edicted. And eventually, the Constitution is sacrificed as well, a victim of ” guilt by association” and the tyrannical aspirations of politicians.

As it dies, so do your rights and freedoms until we are all slaves of the elite lawmakers with no redress for how we are wronged.

What do we do? First, don’t put all your freedom eggs in the basket of the Constitution. As we have seen, it is merely a piece of paper to our government masters, even the judges who are supposed to uphold it. And certainly don’t look to those in government to save you.

It may be time to discover who truly wants to support our freedoms and rights and work with them to defend PEACEFULLY what we have.

Enough is enough! On the second day of the fake impeachment of President Trump, the evil just gets worse. Do the Leftist Democrats have souls? How about the Republicans? Are they all under Satan’s control like I have heard suggested? Is this all really to hide their crimes against the country, against humanity, against children?

I am beginning to think they are. As this trial goes on and we see the utter lack of reason for him to be charged much less found guilty, our Congress is proving to us that they don’t care about morals, about ethics, about decency, about the law, and certainly not the Constitution.

It’s amazing because the four previous Presidents have actually committed crimes and nothing happens to them. The currently installed illegitimate occupant of the White House has committed crimes that are so obvious that a blind man could see them. His son has used illegal drugs and has been accused of pedophilia. And yet, no charges or trials for them.

Members of Congress who are trying him have committed crimes. Many have slept with foreign operatives. Others have made money off insider trading or given election funds to relatives. Heck, they even have a “slush” fund to defend them against accusations of sexual harassement and abuse.

And yet they are out to get HIM.

This is the same as the show trials instituted in the Soviet Union under Stalin in the late 1930’s. These trials were frame ups intended to get rid of political opponents and consolodate Stalin’s power. Stalin even turned on those who were loyalists of his, killing and imprisoning them.

And yet, who points this out to the public? The press? No. They are complicit. Social Media? No, they censor any defense of Trump. In fact, they are in lock step with the sham.

I have said it many times, but this total disregard for decency and truth threatens much more than Trump’s freedom to run for President again. It is a threat to his safety and the safety of his family.

More important, it is a threat to us. I have often said, if they will do it to him, they will do it to us.

In the end, it proves to us that we will not be able to save our country through appealing to the government. They will continue, through the courts, to run roughshod over our rights. As one person said, it’s going to take something else. Something involving many citizens working together.

Let’s hope we can wake everyone up in time.

It’s said that nothing occurs in a vaccuum. It’s also said that there is no such thing as a coincidence.

I believe that when it comes to the matters of government and politics, both of those things are true. So, I am going to layout some puzzle pieces and see the picture they seem to present. You can judge for yourself if any of this makes sense.

Piece One: Covid 19 – Something is not right about this “pandemic” and many of us know it. Today, I heard an interview with Pitbull that really drove home what is wrong.

Yes, I said that correctly. Pitbull. I wouldn’t know any of his “music” or what he looks like. And, I don’t usually look to his statements for insights or understanding. But, sometimes the most unlikely of people present the messsage that rings true.

He was talking about the Covid 19 “scandemic” on a panel broadcast on a streaming channel I have never heard of. His comments focused on how much damage was being done by lockdowns and mask mandates. But, the main comment that struck me was that his father had come from Communist Cuba and had seen some of the same actions of Castro being employed here in the U.S. during this time.

This reminded me of another friend whose father came from Cuba. She told me that he was very frightened about the Biden regime and the restrictions and policies they might institute.

And, a third friend’s husband had come here with his family from East Germany shortly after the end of the Berlin Wall. He too was seeing similarities between the actions of the East German government and what our government is doing now.

The messages were clear and are identical to what many of us are saying. Something doesn’t ring right in this situation. We know that they aren’t making sense. Yet, there are many Americans who just take it, do what they say, and never question anything. In fact, they jump right on board with being mask ” Nazi’s.” Those of us who refuse to be bullied into masks and vaccines are vilified.

So, piece one is on the table. Convince Americans that the government has their best interest at heart while they destroy the economy and lives of many. Convince this group that there is another population out there who will argue against these laws because they DON’T care about the best interest of others.

Piece Two: The second piece is really a series of events that add up as one.

As people’s rights to individual decisions regarding their health are challenged, the left works hard to chip away at other Constitutional Rights as well. Here are just a few:

1. The right to freedom of speech, to assemble for protest, and the right to petition Congress for redress of grievances. All of a sudden, any speech regarding the stolen election, the false Covid numbers and mandates, and questions about the integrity of our courts and legislators is banned on what could be described as huge social media publishing platforms. People are being labled “Domestic Violent Terrorists” and are targeted by law enforcement with no proof of wrong doing. They are also being dismissed from the military, their jobs, and the right to travel even though they have committed no crime. And, while groups like Antifa and BLM actually do commit crimes, they are not prosecuted. And there are people in this country who think that is fine, either due to ignorance or political hatred. Our newly installed regime even wants to create a National “Truth” Ministry to decide what is true and can be said and what is “false” and cannot be said. We all know, if the title of the agency has the word “truth” in it, it has nothing to do with truth. Remember what the Soviet Union did with political dissenters. They were sent to “work camps” in Siberia to be brought into line.
2. The 2nd Amendment is also under attack as a bill by Sheila Jackson Lee proposes that gun owners not only have to register guns but also have to pay extra insurance AND have to have mental health exams every two years. This bill is particularly heinous, since merely the implication that a person is mentally unstable can have their gun owning rights stripped. How does this connect? Think about it. If you are against masks and vaccines and provide supporting data, you still might be called mentally ill since you refuse to do ” simple” actions that might keep you and others safe. Remember, “follow the science.” Even if it is wrong. Worse, let’s say you tell someone that wearing a mask or getting the vaccine makes you ” anxious.” Well, that right there might be evidence of a mental illness. Huge connection to both Covid and free speech. Your 2nd Amendment Rights will go right out the door. It’s a very simple process.
3. The right to due process. Every single two bit crook knows this right. A person charged with a crime has to have his/her day in court. But, Senator Marco Rubio, a Republican who should know better since his family is from Cuba, has proposed that anyone “under investigation” for terrorism cannot own or purchase guns for ten years. The person doesn’t have to have been found guilty, just investigated. Even if cleared, the suspension of the rights to buy or own a gun would stand. The person could appeal the decision, but would have to spend enormous amounts of money and time fighting the decision in federal court. No due process before a “sentence.” Another right gone.

These are just a few of the rights under attack specifically right now. Certainly, the right to own property, to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable search and seizures. No warrants can be issued without evidence. Every one of these has been violated by the government in just the last year on various people, even a candidate for President of the United States.

And, while we are talking about the 45 th President, let’s include his situation in this huge puzzle. What has happened to him for more than five years is probably the most important piece of all.

He has had his right to unwarranted search and seizure, due process and his right to freedom of speech,violated often and continuously by the government of the United States. Currently, they are attempting to violate his Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights in what is a travesty of a trial for impeachment in the Senate. Why, since they claim he is no longer President?

I believe that it is in part because he knows something about the secrets of this government, the deep state, and the forces of the ” one world order” that they want to install. I also feel that because he isn’t willing to hide their ugly secrets, they want to destroy him.

But, I also think there is another reason.

This impeachment is a “gateway” prosecution, much like marijuana was once called a “gateway” drug. ( A gateway drug is one, that, if used, leads to the use of other more dangerous drugs.)

The first impeachment was in fact to try to get him out of office while making his job nearly impossible to do. It failed and so they went to plan B which was stealing the election.

This second impeachment, because it is unconstitutional in so many ways, is a gateway to get rid of the constitution completely for all of us, particularly those of us not on their side. And it is a gateway designed by both Democrats AND Republicans.

Remember, it was the Republicans, under the direction of George W. Bush, who created and passed ” The Patriot Act” which violated the Constitution in many ways. It was justified by ” public safety.” Where have we heard that before?d

This second unconstitutional impeachment which doesn’t involve an impartial Chief Justice, is being carried out on a now private citizen, presents no evidence, and is demanding the President to testify or be considered guilty, and is setting a precedent that can be used against all of us. If Congress can violate the rights (without justification) of a man who once held the most powerful office in the land what can they do to the rest of us?

They can do almost anything they want, including violating your rights. It’s just a piece of paper after all.

Remember, the Constitutional “authority” for the left, Lawrence Tribe, considers many things in the Constitution to be ” stupid,” particularly when it doesn’t suit Democrats.

I’m sure he thinks the same of individual rights of those of us who disagree politically with him and his leftist cronies.

I should warn the left though. When our rights are violated, it leaves the rest of you open for the same treatment. See how the Gateway works?

Remember, there are no coincidences. There are just grand plans.

While waiting for inspiration this week, a few topics have interested me, but they aren’t topics that warrant full essays.

THE SUPER BOWL – I’ll admit I have never been a huge fan of the Super Bowl. However, I would watch it from time to time just to see the commercials.

Not any more.

Everything about pro sports and particularly the Super Bowl has become political. That’s not what they are for. They are there to entertain us, help us escape from the worries of the world for a bit.

Now that pro athletes feel so self important that many of them foist their politics and social views on us, it’s not entertaining. Worse, it’s annoying. Did we really need to have the Black National Anthem played before the game? If so, why not the Hispanic National Anthem? The Irish National Anthem? Are they less important?

Oh wait, those groups don’t have their own version of the National Anthem. Give it time.

And, the half time show has turned into some kind of sick, stupid effort of famous artists to show how sick and stupid they can make it. Men with underwear on their heads? Seriously? Not entertaining. At all.

And now the commercials have submitted themselves to the ” woke” culture, telling us what to do, who’s wrong and who’s right and on and on.

In the end, I know who won. But, once I get past all the social justice woke crap, I just don’t care.

A PIECE OF PAPER – Josef Stalin, dictator and murderer of millions of Russian citizens, once said when asked about treaties, ” No piece of paper can keep people together. No piece of paper can keep people apart. ”

He was telling Churchill and the United States that we could create any kind of treaty we wanted, but he might not abide by it. Like any good Commuist Dictator, he would make the rules up as he wanted.

It seems that Schumer, Pelosi and the rest of the Leftist Socialists Communists believe that too.

Even though it has been pointed out to them that their second attempt to impeach Trump is unconstitutional and possibly illegal, they press ahead. As with other Constituional rights and rules, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom to bear arms, etc. they don’t really feel the need to abide by them. Whatever meets their needs at the moment is what they will do. And they will smile and tell us that it is “all for the good of the country.”

Stalin said the same thing when he killed and imprisoned millions of “dissenters.” And when he spied on people. And when he took the rights of the people of Russia away. Ask any former citizen of the USSR and they will tell you what that is like.

And they are scared to death right now at what this regime is doing.

Don’t depend on the Constitution to protect you folks. It’s just a piece of paper in their minds.

A TRUE HERO: Twenty years ago today, my father died after a battle with pancreatic cancer. I think of him every day. He was lifetime Air Force, fighting in World War II, Korea, Vietnam and the Cold War. He sacrificed so much for this country. He was shot down behind enemy lines and had to escape with the help of the French Resistance.

I can remember his time away from us every month as he went on ” Temporary Duty” assignments, TDY, every month for the first seven years of my life. He missed so much time with us.

Even when the TDY assignments were fewer, he had a high stress job that required high security and classified information. We couldn’t even go see his office in the Pentagon because it was top secret.

He loved the Air Force. If he could, I think he would have stayed in until he died. He was proud of his country and wanted to serve.

I hate to say it, but I am almost glad he is here to see what is going on now.

He had little or no respect for Biden since he had to work with his committee from time to time. He called him stupid and corrupt. He was right.

He would be furious at how people have disregarded, disparaged and mis-used the freedom he and so many had sacrificed for.

I often think about what he would tell me. I think he would say to keep fighting for what is right. It’s what he did his entire life.

Revelation 3:16- So then because thou are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth.

Wow. This not saying, ” I get it if you don’t want to take sides,” or ” Compromise is awesome.” It says if you can’t be on one side or the other, you are useless.

I have a confession and an apology.

The confession is that I have been lukewarm. I have been lukewarm in so many things, my faith, my patriotism, my political involvement, and on and on.

The apology is to my parents and my ancestors. Because of their sacrifices, their bravery, and their beliefs, I got to live in a free country where I could own property, have free speech, and create my own destiny. Most specifically, my father fought and served his entire life for that. And what have I done with that legacy?

Like most of us, I sat back. I let someone else do the heavy lifting. I enjoyed the benefits of my country while I ignored taking on the hard work required to keep it free. Sure, every four years I voted for candidates I thought would be good for the country. I called myself a member of a certain party without monitoring their actions. But never, not once, did I use my voice to impact what they did or how they did it. I ceded that to the elected officials. I was politically lazy.

My excuses were many. I had too much work to do. I was raising my children. The people I work for won’t like it. It’s uncomfortable for me to speak out.

And now look where we are.

We are here looking over a cliff that leads to a country in which we will not have freedom of speech, of assembly, the right to bear arms, and the right to create our own destiny without government approval. We are looking at a country which is being over taken by a Communist ideology without firing a single shot. They have gained complete control while we looked the other way. They paid off our officials, our media, our banks, and our tech companies. They indoctrinated our children.

It doesn’t matter to them that there are more than 75 million of us. They have seen is in action and they know we are lukewarm. They don’t even have to break a sweat to break us. They own us.

Or at least they THINK they do.

Because, while I will apologize to my parents for ignoring for so long the hard work it takes to maintain freedom, I will also make a promise to them.

I am done being lukewarm. I am activated. I am speaking out. I am getting involved in politics. I am going to hold our leaders accountable. I will put my financial and personal resources toward fighting the Leftist/Socialists/Communists.

I will fight.

And I will not be lukewarm.

I was really stumped about what to write today. There are so many things happening, but none of them merited a full post. Plus, I have to feel some real passion for what I write for it to work.

Then, while scrolling through Gab, I found an article that was recommended by General Michael Flynn. It’s called “The Thirty Tyrants” and it has to do with China and it has to do with China’s influence on our “elite” population.

It’s a long article that starts with a comparison of today’s situation to what Sparta did to Athens in 404 BCE. It starts with a quote from Machiavelli’s The Prince regarding the three options when a country conquers another. “The first is to ruin them; the second is to rule directly; the third is to ‘create therein a state of the few which might keep it friendly to you.’ ”

It was that quote that go me thinking. The article goes on to describe the history between China and the U.S. and the relationship that goes on till today. I won’t summarize, but I will present some questions it answers. I suggest you read it to get the full gist.

Here’s the link: https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/the-thirty-tyrants?fbclid=IwAR3ZH5Kp2vORsOnVphQe3lM4AFfF7UilOtoLVpd1PfonBWAhzv0fPDabitc

Questions:

Why do so many of the 1% in our country seem so willing to go along with ideas that are counterintuitive to their continued freedom and success?

Why did they flee the Republican party which seems more aligned with their financial goals to the Democrat party?

Why do top organizations and businesses in our country suddenly seem more interested in globalism than the welfare of our citizens?

Why do corporations send jobs to China instead of keeping them here for the American worker? Why do they turn a blind eye to the practices of slave labor and human rights violations in China?

Why do such unlikely partnerships develop between big business and Hollywood and Pro Sports? Why don’t the latter two care if they lose 50% of their fan base? Why do the former not care about their customer base?

Why do big think tanks, research institutions, universities, and business organizations such as the Chamber of Commerce suddenly disregard and belittle the basic rights granted to us by the Constitution?

How was the Coronavirus a part of China’s plan and how did they know it would cause more racial and economic division and hardship?

Who were some of the major players who encouraged and developed this conquest model for China?

Why couldn’t Trump fight this effectively? How did the hatred for Trump by his rivals get exploited by China? How was the Deep State involved?

The article brings so much into focus with this situation that it seems overwhelming but also a way to bring those of us on the outside of the China Elite Sympathizers and Collaborators together with a singular focus. If we can put our differences aside and aim our fight against those who promote China over our country, we might be able to reverse some of the damage.

It won’t be easy because we have been purposely divided in the most violent way possible and the chasm often seems beyond repair. But, I think it can happen if we can do some things.

1. Stop making it about Donald Trump or Joe Biden but about OUR country fighting a foreign invader, one who will steal all of our freedoms.
2. Get rid of party designations and become Americans again.
3. Call the tactics used by government all of us, calling us terrorists, shutting down our free speech, purging our military of any dissenters what they are, a drive to place CCP sympathizers in place.
4. Support those candidates who pledge to right this conquest and hold them accountable to do so.
5. Point out the connections between politicians, corporations, the oligarchy and the Chinese whenever possible.
6. Be prepared to sacrifice because the Chinese have the practice of removing dissent down to an art. There will be pain.
7. Pray and remember our religious and historical roots. Our forefathers fought and defeated the English when there was no way they should have been able to do it. We are of the same stuff as them! Educate our children about OUR country, the positives as well as the negatives.

Our parents and grandparents fought tyrants in two World Wars and the Cold War. They have handed the baton off to us. It’s our turn.

I had a conversation with a friend of mine this morning discussing a conversation with a fifteen year old. It was enlightening.

I taught teenagers for a long time. I had two of my own. I found them to be some of the most fun and frustrating creatures I have ever met!

Adults need to remember that most of the teenager’s goals during these years involve separating from their parents’ control and proving to adults how smart they are. This can lead to statements coming out of them that we just shake our heads at.

The adolescent brain is different from the adult’s. They are more emotional, less rational, and more impulsive. So, trying to frame a debate with one with any kind of logic is a lost cause.

That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. It is important that we teach our young people the skills of presenting a logical argument with facts and rationale. If we allow them to stay in their adolescent mode and never encourage a more mature, meaningful conversation, they will turn into useful adult idiots, like AOC, Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, et al.

So, when your teenager starts to spout nonsense, start asking questions. For example, when he/she says that people shouldn’t be allowed to have freedom of speech, ask, ” Why do you say that?” Listen to the answer. They will probably respond with something like banning “hate” speech or the good old “shouting fire in a theater” argument. Ask another question. “How do you define “hate” speech? Who defines “hate” speech?” They will say that if something offends someone, it is hate speech and that it is up to the person who is offended.

This is when you have the great opportunity to teach without lecturing. I like to give them possible examples of “hate” speech. I select words like “old,” “cranky,” and “Boomer.” I ask if those are hate speech. They might say yes, just to be cute, but you need to clarify. At some point, you will find something that they will agree is not hate speech. I sometimes use words like “apple,” “banana” etc. When they say it is not hate speech I will ask, “But what if they offend me? What if I think they are hate speech? Can I get them banned?”

At this point there will be some rolling of the eyes and probably some muttering about how dumb this all is and they will walk away. But, you will have planted the seed, the thoughts of reason.

This strategy can be used in a lot of different situations. When you ask questions and demand that they think about what they are arguing, sooner or later it will sink in.

You may not see it for years. You might think it was wasted breath. I know I did with my kids sometimes. But it wasn’t. They grew to be good critical thinkers. They don’t always agree with me, but they can present good, reasoned arguments.

We can’t give up on them. We need them to be rational, critical thinkers.

Once you know the beginnings of Socialism, you start to understand that it is a “religion” to it’s followers. Without going into a history in depth, it’s important that we know Socialism/Marxism/Communism all come from the same beginnings. The origins of Socialism were in the Industrial Revolution, but it can be traced back to the time of the Greeks as an idea. There are many different kinds of Socialism, but the basic premise is that there is no private property. Basically, everything exists for the good of society, so no one can own property.

Another premise is that intellectuals and science are the people/discipline that should design the Socialist society. They play on the possible social divisions in a society, turning one against the other. In our country, this is done with economics, race, sex, sexual orientation, you name it. Each division is placed on a “hierarchy of oppression.” If you are a black man, you are at one level. If you are a black woman, you are a step above. If you are a gay black woman, you are even higher on the food chain. People are convinced of their “victimhood” and that they deserve preferential treatment. Others are trained in their “privilege” and that they deserve punishment. So, while preaching an ” all for one” philosophy, socialism divides a population in order to protect the power of the people in charge.

In order for people to buy into this, Socialism becomes a religion, in many ways more powerful than any religion based on a deity. Followers are trained to believe in the blessings of Socialism so much that they will forsake personal or familial goals. Socialism and the promotion of the Socialist society becomes the primary objective and must be achieved above all other goals. It’s why they ignore the Constitution and just “make the rules as they go.”

That’s why you see true Socialists doing things that don’t make sense to the non-believer. We see Biden sign orders that destroy jobs, ruin women’s sports, violate freedom and privacy of the citizens, and give preference to certain “social justice” groups, ignoring their violence while targeting other groups who don’t fit the socialist goals.

It’s why corporations seem to yield to their demands immediately, forsaking their customer base. A Socialist government can swiftly nationalize an industry. Just look at Venezuela.

It’s why Trump is so hated. The plan for a complete Socialist United States was going well until he came along. He disrupted that plan. And, to make things worse, he was a Capitalist. They must utterly destroy him to send a message to all others who may want to follow in his path.

To question Socialism is to commit heresy. And, if you remember history, heretics are punished swiftly and severely.

Even the churches, in an attempt to maintain government approval, will adopt and voice the Socialist mantras.

This is why arguing with Socialists is so difficult. No matter what you say, they will have their mantras imprinted on their brains. Add to that their vast and ingrained memories of Allinsky’s rules, and you have the recipe for a huge nothing burger of a discussion. Like two diametrically opposed religions, you will never agree. And the Socialist will not accept that you can exist and have a non-Socialist view. You are a heretic.

The only hope for conquering this secular religion is the followers finding out first hand that things aren’t what they have been told they are. They need a huge dose of poverty and denial of their freedoms to realize how bad it can be. And it has to affect them personally. Even Russians in the USSR were so immune to the abuses of their government that it took years after it folded for them to actually act as though society was free. And, unfortunately, it affects all citizens, not just the ones we want to feel the sting.

So, what happens now? How do we fight this menace.

We have to start with what we can control. Start with your own family, your own children. Your kids are being taught such BS in school right now that I am fairly sure they will spout Socialist beliefs at you immediately. Introduce them to the concept of ” you don’t own anything” by telling them that a Socialist society could just come in and take all their stuff and give it to someone else. Talk to them about freedom and what it really is. The biggest fight is really to counteract the education system and media. Monitor what they are being taught and what they are watching.

And, of course, educate yourself. You can’t fight something you know nothing about. Prepare yourself to counter the “sermons” of this evil, secular religion.

While you are at it, introduce them to your religion. Get them involved in another theology that will fill the spot Socialism might fill in their lives.

While listening to a Podcast this morning, I heard an interesting perspective about why so of the logical arguments many of us use on Leftists don’t work. It was one I hadn’t thought of.

Tom Woods interviews so many people with different viewpoints on his show, which makes sense because he is a libertarian. Today I listened to an interview with Alan Mosely who has his own podcast called ” It’s Too Late.” It’s a comedy podcast that includes many of today’s issues.

Tom and Alan were discussing how difficult it is to discuss issues with Leftists. Even when confronted with how they believe a certain way at one time and then another way another time, they can’t seem to see how their views are hypocritical.

Alan explained it this way. Most of us, when we consider the events of the world, tend to try to find similarities and logic as to why the same rules, laws, etc. should generally apply to all those events. For us, if we say that people shouldn’t do something, then we must live by that rule ourselves. To do otherwise would be hypocritical.

We don’t like being hypocritical because that, to us, is dishonest and wrong.

Leftists are different. Leftists see each situation as being totally different and unique from any other situation. Each situation exists with its own justifications, morality, etc. and it has no connection to any other situation, even if there might appear to be similarities. There are no norms, no standards. There is no logic, no right or wrong that always applies.

So, the Leftists want to impeach Trump for inciting violence on January 6th even though he never said anything to encourage violence. The mere fact that he had a big rally in D.C. on that day and he told those people to march to the Capitol peacefully is enough for them to condemn him. BUT, if you say to that leftist that Pelosi, Waters, AOC, and even Obama himself said things that actually DID encourage people to act violently toward Republicans and that it is hypocritical to condemn Trump for saying something that didn’t, they don’t see it. They will turn to you with a blank face and say, “But that was a totally different situation. ” And they will believe it. For them, the fact that the Dems were just trying to get their followers motivated to fight back against a party they found oppressive, it wasn’t the same. It was justified. And, of course if an action against Trump it doesn’t matter if it is wrong or right. Remember, these are people who have called for him to be killed.

Event the 2018 incident where Dems breached the Capitol over the Kavanaugh hearings was different than this. After all, the protesters in 2018 HAD to keep Kavanaugh from being confirmed. Again, justified. Not condemning it does not make them hypocrites.

I know it drives you crazy. It drives me crazy too. Because no matter where you take the argument, they will not be able to process or admit they are wrong.

Do you just give it up then? I don’t think so. You keep trying, stating your arguments, showing them facts with the hope that someday they will get it through their foggy brains. You hope that somewhere down the line that they will be like teenagers and ” grow out of it” and your thoughts will come back and influence them.

They may actually come back to you someday and admit they were wrong.

Don’t hold your breath.
