Our children are the ones who will inherit our birthplace which we call America.  They, like us, will be called Americans.  There are many who will dispute this fact, but, nevertheless, it is still a fact.  Our children learn everything from their parents from birth until they are aware of other voices and opinions.  The media is becoming like the air that we breathe, indispensable and ubiquitous.  It has taken on many different forms from those that we, the parents, knew when we were children.  This makes the media just about the most powerful entity that we live with daily.  It informs, entertains, educates and communicates anything and everything that we view or hear for twenty-four hours a day, every day.  And in this process, the all-powerful media can bend, slant, indoctrinate, propagandize, lie, cheat and steal with impunity in all of its content.

As adults we have the intelligence to discriminate in what we see and hear, and some of us actually do this. We also have the common sense usually to communicate with our children in their growth. We are called conservatives.  However, there are adults who do not retain this ability to discriminate and dissect information.  They are called among other things, liberals or leftists. Many of them do not have children, and for this we can thank our Lord and Savior. For they as a group have absolutely no common sense and no moral compass. Their children would have a difficult time eventually finding their way into the world of common sense after digging their way out of the deep darkness of leftism.

How do we discriminate in this world of way too much information with its conflicts of interest and outright deception?  There is a choice between the left and the right, politically speaking, Conservatism is straight forward and honest with its information and its communication with all citizens. Liberalism, however, is the exact opposite. Their agenda is to obfuscate and denigrate the other side at every opportunity. Logic doesn’t apply to the left.  Morality is also missing. Censorship protects their dark agenda. There are many examples between the years of Obama and Biden where their agenda was to point at Trump and shout foul.  Not sure when he had the time to foul when he was being constantly sued or impeached for one hoax or another.  This is not how our government is supposed to work.  Our three branches are supposed to work together (and check on each other) for the betterment of the American people, the citizens. Constantly blocking things helps no one. Weaponizing the justice system against an administration is also counterproductive as is the increasingly politicized Supreme Court in its decisions. Hate should not be a part of our government.

Opening our southern border to millions of illegal, undocumented aliens was not sane.  We are still not sure of the whole reason this was done.  It still has not been justified in any way.  And then, eventually, when common sense appeared and began to make it possible to escort illegals back out from whence they came, the left began to block this process using over-reaching, seemingly demented, judges.  This is the point when sane people cry out for reasonable thinking and, again, common sense.  We have a legal process for immigrants to enter our country legally.  Yet to be seen is the damage coming from the criminals and terrorists who are ensconced in dark places in our country waiting for their disruptive orders.  At this point the difference between conservative and liberal should begin to make sense (or nonsense).

Other issues have been abortion, atheism, energy, economics, bureaucratic waste, and the funding of Iran ($100 billion) and Ukraine ($175 billion).  Mindless waste.  This is all in addition to the attempts to take over schools and indoctrinate children into porn, trans, CRT, etc.  We can only hope that those looking back at this will detain and prosecute the perpetrators, the “woke” promoters and their perverted agenda. And, who are those responsible for all of the above?  The simple answer is: All of us who vote!  The clowns who are now in office and acting exactly like the clowns that they are were voted in by both the right and the left.  Is this the reason for the open southern border and influx of illegals?  To turn them into voters so that we may perpetuate the clowns in office?  Seems logical, maybe good idea at the time, but sooner than later the real damage of these misfits will become apparent.  So how do we prevent this from happening again and again?  Education.  Not just of our young but also of anyone of voting age.  This is one of the few ways to instill common sense and a bit of logic into the malleable minds of immature voters who are easily led by either money or the seduction and enticement of an evil agenda, Socialism to Marxism to Communism.

Maybe another organization of groups like the original “Tea Party” would help. Or maybe in some way using the internet for something good and helpful for a change, like political education, showing the real intents and real lives of candidates, instead of just the indoctrination or propagandizing of the voter with far too much money. The present system has been dysfunctional for far too long due to the lobbying of the media and the far too much money of the rich liberal.  We will have to be very creative and devious to circumvent the left at their own game.  This whole process will begin again very soon with the coming elections. After really getting to know the candidates and their real (or devious) thinking, let us all lean to the right for a change.  Let us vote responsibly. Let us save America…!

I had a high school principal that was tough, a junior high teacher (paddled me), a scoutmaster that was tough, various band leaders in Jr. High, H.S, College, and especially professionally that were tough and tougher.  All of the above had rules to follow and the ability to say “No” when necessary. They all were leaders and they took their jobs seriously. All were tasked with jobs to carry out, for and with other people.  No whining…!

Our duly elected president Trump has been elected to accomplish various things which all legitimate citizens want done.  He has had tough jobs before.  This is even tougher.  The liberals, socialist Democrats and the left and far left don’t want anything done and they hate the word “No.” However, Mr. Trump, being a true leader, has the will and the authority to unquestionably say “No” to his detractors.  The lack of leadership and outright mendacity of the last four years make this vital.

Our borders, particular the Southern, were left open for four years with no way to stop the influx of anyone, no matter how bad or evil.  Our military was infected with woke nonsense, making it weak and neutering the defense of our country and others around the world.  Our economy was hit with inflation headed toward a recession affecting all of us.  Our foreign policies were a joke.  Our schools were being infected with the stupidity of woke, and our companies with DEI which, like the dumbing down due to affirmative action, weakened whatever it touched.  Our arts border on insanity.  Our medical profession was infected with Covid-19, Fauci and the frauds of China, the HHS, CDC, etc.  And there were many more harmful issues mandated.

The common sense people with their feet on the ground and heads not in a cloud voted for Donald Trump to erase these insanities largely because he is the only person with the will and the ability to do so.  And from his first day in office he has begun to do exactly that.  Clean house. His wisdom also is in the ability to hire extremely competent people to carry out the jobs in their own area of expertise.  Patriotism is back.  A sense of hope is back.  And pride in just being an American is now back.  However…!

The liberals, socialist Democrats and the left and far left don’t want any of this done and they hate the word “No.”      (No meaning:  we have had enough of your crap, now shut up and give it a rest).

So what do disenchanted, unhappy, hateful people like them do?  They begin to try to tear things down, starting with the legitimate, elected President, Vice President, his Cabinet, and appointees.  And how do they begin?  By subverting the judicial system which has already been politically weaponized for this eventuality.  Federal judges now try to take over the duties of the President, Congress and the Supreme Court.  Like the last four years, we are once again entering “the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.”  Because, not only is this unconstitutional, it is supremely presumptuous and egotistical beyond belief.  But this vacuous party with their demented members will keep at it just to waste time and money in their ridiculous quest to reinstate their own unworkable non-agenda.  All of which is supported and reported by the fake media, fake journalists and fake funding from the left.

The left:     Judges don’t care about keeping gangs, murderers, thieves, spies, drug dealers, here illegally.

                      is a disease which affects all of us and eventually kills indiscriminately.

                      has taken over colleges and universities for cheap and mindless hating.

                      is a godless ideology which hates America and law and order and common sense.

                      weaponizes politics, education, government, and anything else that will bring down America.

After the obfuscations and unworkable and hateful and perverted ideas of the last four years, what can we do to support President Trump and his administration in their (our) mandate to clean up these United States and raise it once again to the greatness that has been tarnished by the hateful move toward Socialism and Communism?

We can:      vote (with I.D.) for competent people, not just the ones with biggest and loudest mouths.

                     convert (softly) those misguided people, that we all know, toward supporting America once again.

                     educate our young to discriminate right from wrong in school, on the internet, and with peer pressure.

                     choose love of God (not Satan), not just in church or synagogue, but in our daily lives and workplaces.

              Let us say and sing “God Bless America” as often as possible and everywhere possible…!

Living in America in 2025 is a weird balance between being either Liberal or Conservative.Liberals live under the assumption that everything is decided by wishful thinking, and if we want it bad enough it will be so.  Conservatives, on the other hand, insist on hard work for what they want, and the responsibility to attain their wants and needs legally. Liberals want things done for them.  Conservatives like to do things themselves. Liberals are content to live   in a Socialistic society where everyone follows the party line unquestionably and they exist as just a cog in the vast machinery of the government.  Conservatives want a voice in the way they live their lives and raise their families. These are very different ways of thinking in our complicated lives.  Conflict is inevitable in practically every part of our daily lives. Nowhere is the above more obvious than in the politics resident in the workings of our own government.

Our newly elected president recently addressed a joint session of our Congress, including his cabinet, the Supreme Court, our military and notable and distinguished guests.  This speech was tantamount to a State of the Union message to all.  The president was in rare form, touching on almost all of the issues that concern us all as citizens.  As is usual in this situation, the Republican side was for the stated issues as they were presented, and would stand and applaud loudly with vocal approval.  The Democrats, predictably, would sit quietly with their disapproval evident.  This was fairly normal as far as it went.  However, a large part of the Democrat side decided to disrupt in various ways during the speech by shouting or just yelling their disapproval.  In addition, many of them displayed paddle type signs with their anti-whatever messages.  Annoying, but not necessarily disruptive.

This display of discontent by the entire Democrat party as an intimidated bloc was not only juvenile and very like a child acting up for various reasons.  This is the Liberal way of dealing with the governing of our country.  Forget responsibility and common sense as a parent.More like “I want what I want, and I want it now!”  They refuse to hear or abide by the word “No.”  And the disruptive behavior goes on from there to anything that will derail a newly elected president’s agenda, no matter how beneficial to all citizens regardless of party. Falsehoods of all kinds have been used, hoaxes and fake impeachments and politically weaponized judges. And the media of all kinds, with few exceptions, are on board with fake reporting, fake news, and fake editing; anything to disrupt and cast a bad light on programs, no matter how beneficial to everyone.  It would seem that the Democrat party just wants power, and the money to purchase that power.  The power to be used for useless programs that are astronomically expensive, besides being sleazy, harmful to the young, and intended to indoctrinate, not educate.

It astounds me how people that I have known still identify as Democrats, knowing the evils that the party has perpetrated upon us.  That they like censorship, illegal abortion, abuse of our young, and the use of anything that will further their aims, no matter how dark and evil Is beyond my attempts at intelligent thinking.  We have choices.  One final point:

All of the following are inert, and in and of themselves not harmful…!  Guns, bullets, knives, bows & arrows, hatchets, axes, hammers, ropes, garrots, swords, sabers, water, cyanide, cocaine, fentanyl, politics, etc., etc.  You get the point.    If any of these are used as weapons or wrongly, they can cause death.  There are times that they may be used for protection, or to save lives, but they can all really just stay inert. We do not need to abuse drugs, or kill, maim or murder the innocent.  Let us think for a change.

My January blog did not get written.  I was too apprehensive, then I was too excited, then I just needed to think a while.  That process took the whole rest of the month.  So here we are in February.  And I’m still not full of ideas.  Except for avoidance.

But we have avoided the evils of Socialism, Liberalism, Wokeism, DEI, CRT, or at least slowed them or even turned them around.  This is a tribute to all of those citizens in America who actually awakened to what was happening and prevented both crisis and disaster. God bless them and the United States of America.

President Trump has dodged many of the “…slings and arrows of outrageous fortune” to get to this point, but the Democrat party and its bullies, thugs and murderers still have plans to disrupt the will of the people that he is mandated to carry out.  It is sad that in this country of so much opportunity there are those that wish it harm. We all have friends that are still Democrats even after so much evil has already been done.  Do they not realize the extent of the damage, and that it affects us all?  Have they just lost the capacity to think at all?  If there were only reset buttons on them!

Besides Groundhog Day in February, there is Valentine’s Day.  This is supposed to be at least one day of LOVE.  Gifts and chocolates and cards, etc., are thoughtful and uplifting, but kindness and affectionate signs are also very important to our individual manifestations of love to another person or persons.  “I think, therefore I am” could also be inspiring as:   I love, therefore I am. Especially if most people took this to heart.

We have four years to realize MAGA.   Let us also realize MILA (America in love again) as a possibility.   We could start with this coming Valentine’s Day.

The month of December is supposed to be a return to the love and kindness that are living in each of us who believe in faith, hope and charity.  It is said that all religions believe in some form of a basic love for others.  And in December a large part of the people that live on our planet seem to ascribe to this idea or belief.

If only all of us would truly return to the basic idea of a love for other people, no matter what their standard of living or station in life.  Then a return to a basic humanity would become obvious and everyone could at last live in peace. For peace is just caring for others no matter what someone else might try to force you into thinking.  This also implies individuality, being able to think for yourself.

The problem with individuality is the control that others place upon those that naturally think freely.  Governments, offices within a government, federal, state and local restriction and regulations, and even social pressure from friends and neighbors.  If the controls are valid and help us to exist peacefully, then all is well.  However, the converse is often the case, and this is where the basic problems begin.  Too often humans act very differently when they gain a measure of control over other people.  Power then becomes very important to those in control so that they are able to stay in control and even escalate their control.  The history of the earth is full of examples of the use of control and power, both benign and evil.

With the above in mind we are able to see that a return to love and kindness and consideration for others, no matter who they may be, is not very easy or maybe even impossible at times.

December, however is an opportunity for hoping, praying and becoming an example of the way we all would like to live spiritually. Also by trying different ways to cause a change of heart in those that have become hardened by existing through the realities of living day to day.  This is the value of celebrating Christmas as the birth of Jesus as our Savior who has lighted up the path to our salvation; the One who has given us meaning and hope by showing us the way to live our lives. If we all would only listen and then believe and then create action by the examples of our own lives, we might build a better, more sturdy foundation for ourselves and others for the coming New Year.  We at least need to try to return to a simpler way of thinking so that the complexities in our life can become more manageable.

Technology has always been a blessing and a curse.  Simpler means, for the most part, controlling the power that technology has over us at all times and everywhere. Also not easy. This has been a recurring problem throughout history.  New inventions and discoveries have been beneficial and also harmful.  The wheel, fire, electricity, machines, factories, clocks, archery, gunpowder, lead and most other metals and minerals, etc.  The cause of a lot of our grief is our dependency on technology and dealing with its escalation.  The first step toward simplifying is being aware of the problem.  Then we gradually move toward a change of heart.

By simplifying we also create some room for imagination to once again appear.  Thinking, dreaming, imagining have all but disappeared with our younger generations. This includes reading books instead of watching movies which condense most everything.  Creating space and time in our minds is not only important, but necessary to thinking, and thinking more deeply than our present addictions allow.  So in this December let us think about a return to being able to think by simplifying.  Where and how we begin is for each of us to discover.

Examples of “seduction” forced by the left:

 Election – by the left:  Liberal, Socialist, Marxist, Communist, devil-directed Democrat party.

Media –  by the left:  TV commercials, ads, woke shows, sports, music, talk shows. Censorship.

Politicians – by the left: become rich by saying “yes” to evil procedures.

Scientists – by the left: by perverting real scientific research & conclusions for fake ones.

Justice system – by the left: by weaponizing courts, judges, attorneys, DOJ, FBI, AG, etc.

DEI – by the left: perverting diversity, equity, inclusion to Socialist/Marxist mandates.

Perversion – by the left:  trans, schools, abortion, men/women interchangeable, censorship.

Social media – by the left: the devil’s playground.

Religion – by the left: erase all traces until we are an atheistic society with no morals.

Capitalism – by the left: outmoded, unworkable, unusable, eased into Socialism.

Islam – by the left: Hijacked by terrorists – Hamas (Palestinians), Houthis (Yemen) Hezbollah (Lebanon).

Iran – by the left: Sponsor of all of the above terrorists, funded by over $100 billion  from the Biden administration.

Seduction is a technique used by the left, world-wide, to entice all countries and their people to embrace Marxism (Socialism), Communism.  This would eventually be called “One World.”  Its purpose is to unite everyone into ultimate slavery by seducing them into thinking that this is the ultimate freedom we have been waiting for (utopia).  They have already started with the young in every country.  They have extended their seductive teaching into every educational system, from elementary to college-university. All of our young are being seduced (brainwashed) into the former forbidden worlds of pornography, racism, and hatred of anyone different from the new normal e.g. Jews, Christians, religion in general, conservative thinking, and anything that opposes the agenda of the left. Fashion, newly perverted, has already been in place to seduce. The history of any nation, its constitution, flag, national song, statues, paintings, laws, heroes, are all in danger of being replaced or erased entirely.  America has to contend with CRT, CT, 1619 Project, and political leaders and professors and even scientists who are professed Marxists and/or Communists.  (Who is voting for these miscreants)?

With all of this in place, there won’t be any need to take over any country by force.  Each country will be seduced into joining “One World” without any questions or discussions.   The left will be totally in charge of everything and everyone.  And who exactly is the left? The left is the Devil, Satan, Beelzebub, etc.  Evil incarnated into human leaders who become its minions, the ones who carry out the destruction of life on earth as we have known it.This process has already begun in the USA and in many other countries of the world, and certainly the Middle Eastern countries guided by leftist mullahs; Iran, China, Russia and the money pit called Ukraine.  All are masters of seduction.

So who do we trust?  Leaders who are guided by religion and prayer, the law, the Constitution! No one who consistently lies can be trusted at any time. These lies are meant to seduce.The perpetrators, Democrat party, etc., will say anything to get your vote, but have no intention of following through or implementing if elected.  They feel that, like the message in the Quran, it is perfectly permissible to lie, cheat or steal, etc., in the right circumstances to further their ultimate aims.  (Read it for yourself!)  Note that responsible people in politics or the work place do not feel this way or use this convoluted logic. Though they are sometimes hard to find.

The coming election is crucial to our American way of life.  We need leadership that is in touch with the fundamental issues that affect all of us who are legal citizens.  Illegals are another issue to be dealt with by a stable government.  We need to vote using facts, not emotions. Kamala (and Walz) have no agenda and no knowledge of our most crucial domestic or international issues. Kamala can only pander to minimalist activists about abortion or transgender or patronize the black population or blame everything on Mr. Trump, as did Biden.  Both Biden and Harris have had four years to solve problems and deal with issues and have failed miserably.  She, like Biden, have been puppets for the left.  This would only continue.

Our country is over $35 trillion in debt.  The Fed has been printing money irresponsibly, and we are still in a monstrous inflation with no end in sight.  Our southern border is still irresponsibly open to anyone willing to enter the USA.  And these “illegals” are being invited to vote as citizens in the coming presidential election.  Some states are outlawing this, however the DOJ is now telling the state of Virginia that it cannot remove illegals from voting rolls.  The DOJ needs to be corrected. This order is unconstitutional.  The Democrats are already starting with voter fraud in many evil ways.  They don’t need any additional help. God help us all…!

There are many other issues that affect our daily lives, but lying repeatedly by our government, most of the media, billionaires and Hollywood’s unnecessary spokespersons, is a misuse of their undeserved platform. The same actions by politicians are not only evil, but inexcusable due to their oaths of office.  Every legitimate vote is important.  The above issues are extremely important, and if you are not thinking seriously about the cause and effect of these issues, you are part of the problem. Think again!

Let us cease to be afraid to use the term “MAGA.”  Let us understand its importance. And, let us pray that “God Blesses America.”
