This collection of thoughts is about the "Elephant in the Room."  Which is much the same as
the "Emperor's New Clothes."  Which also means "That which we are not allowed to talk about.
"Why?  Because of the censorship provided by the Left, Liberals, Woke, and the Democrat party.

So, I will try to provide a few of the things on a short list that are forbidden right now.
All of these, if they are spoken about, will elicit immediate cries of "Racism."  And then
the threat of some kind of penalty:  losing your job, your professorship, your career, your
position in almost anything to do with your subsistence, and the respect that you once held
with your friends, family and associates.  (Pretty heavy stuff for a free society)...

That being said, I feel I must start with a disclaimer of some kind.  The culture that I will 
be talking about has a lot of self-serving, money-grubbing, whiney, unsavory people who
are infected with big mouths who are only for themselves.  And not in a good way.

And, very thankfully, not all of the people in this culture are part of the above. Probably 
most are not part of it.  But they are threatened, herded, bullied, blackmailed, and singled-out 
as traitors if they choose to be silent or exhibit common sense.  I support and applaud these 
people.

And now, in an effort to be specific, let it be known that I am talking about the Black culture.
Not historically, but, let's say, from the 60s on until now, 2026.

Somewhere in the 60's, there appeared a musical Hip-Hop group called "2 Live Crew." I believe
that they were from Florida.  Their soon to be popularity was that they little by little 
incorporated "street talk" into their music.  This included the seven words used nowhere in 
publications, radio, TV, music and movies.  Court cases soon ensued, then took over the news 
media, then started an explosion as their case was won over freedom of speech statutes that 
were bent to serve the long-term purpose.  This meant that communications of every sort were 
now free to use (eventually) the most filthy words in our language. And they started to do 
just that. And now we are stuck with this contribution to our national culture.

Woke began near the "1619 project" written by Nikole Hannah-Jones.  It was to change our history 
to begin with 1619 when the first slave arrived in America.  This was followed by Diversity, 
Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), and Woke (social justice, LGBTQ, etc.) the beginning changes in our 
national lexicon, and the take-over of all of our schools, including colleges and universities. 
This was the start of our national censorship.  Words we could not say anymore, and words that 
we must now say, under penalties of loss of jobs, status, etc.  This grew exponentially during 
the Biden years. 

What started as "affirmative action" soon became "preferential treatment."  This, instead of 
being as helpful aid to those in need of a particular education, instead became a highway to 
"activism." The recipients purpose became to change the colleges and universities from within, 
and then to enter our society and pervert every legitimate use of the law by their destructive 
and sometimes violent actions. And then, when there were legitimate arrests made, woke judges 
set them free to repeat their violence elsewhere.  Herein lies the beginning of Black Lives 
Matter (BLM), and Antifa (anti-fascist) groups.  Both became Marxist purveyors, teaching the 
young to hate, and keeping the whole idea of slavery and racism alive and financially rewarding.

Law enforcement and the justice system had been taken over by unqualified, nepotistic, and
weaponized attorneys, judges and advocates of all kinds.  They perverted our once credible
and trusted justice system.  Most came from Ivy League colleges that they should never have
entered. Affirmative action became a curse instead of a legitimate aid to those really in need
of higher education.  Revolving door justice became rampant in most states. Repeated crimes
became common, including rape and murder.  And it is not over yet. Surely there is some
oversight in our justice system to prevent the further perverted interpretations of our laws.

Black families with no father have been a problem for quite a while. This has put a burden on 
their families that forced mothers to either work, or get food stamps and social aid to exist. 
There has been a problem with black men getting jobs, but now that is only a very tired excuse 
for laziness and lack of responsibility. Part of the problem also is the temptation of the young 
men to drop out of school and join gangs or deal in drugs, or become thieves or worse.  All of 
this would seem to be preventable. 

Every court case involving a black person, particularly a well-known person e.g. O.J., has had 
the black community waiting (and preparing) for the verdict.  If the person in question is 
exonerated, there is no problem. But if convicted, especially of a major crime like murder, 
there are well-orchestrated and well-paid repercussions in place and ready to go at the reading 
of the verdict. These involve the destruction and burning of as much property as possible.  
Anything and everything that will cause a news media feeding with no end in sight.  There have 
been many examples of these riots over the years. Has this been condoned by the entire black 
community?  Probably not, but then who are the supporters? Millions and even billions of dollars 
of destruction have been wasted.  But nothing was solved, and nothing was paid for, except by the 
taxes of the public.

No one living now has ever owned a slave, and no one living now has ever been a slave.  But, 
obviously, it is still profitable to still shout and whine about the situation as if it is 
still happening now.  There is still money to be made from accusing the present of being 
responsible for the past by calling for "reparations!" Intimidating and even blackmailing 
companies, CEOs, etc., is a popular way of extorting money for a long-dead cause.  This has 
been sleazy for a long time.

The now over-used and long since tired epithet is "racism."  Any black person in need of 
something (anything) just has to shout racism, and the media will report it unmercifully.  
And there is no recourse. Many people have lost their jobs and careers in almost every 
profession for saying the wrong thing, even though they thought it was harmless and appropriate.  
Using racism like this has been tantamount to saying "J'Accuse" during the French revolution.
The only difference was the guillotine.  However, the idea and usage was much the same.

So what is the long-term effect of the above happenings?  How does all of this affect the entire 
black community?  Has any of this been beneficial?  Is there a marked improvement in anything 
in the daily lives of normal black people? 

I see the situation of normal black families as a parallel to normal families living in an 
Islamic country which is being controlled by fundamentalist radicals.  They are forced to make 
the best of it and go along with things, or be maligned (or worse).  Black radicals use the same 
technique of vilifying any opposition in various ways. But in spite of this, there have been many, 
many examples of black people who have succeeded in almost all fields of endeavor.  Most are 
universally accepted.

So, can we eliminate the "Elephant in the room" and start thinking about America as a whole nation?
Stop the hyphens and all of the divisiveness and get to work continuing to build the greatest nation 
on earth.  Stop the skin color.  God doesn't care about it.  Stop the perversions of all kinds.  
Stop the mistrust both ways.  Become responsible citizens without deceit and lies and drugs.  
Try going to church.  Try teaching kids how to live responsibly.  Eliminate falsehoods in education, 
the media of all kinds, and in dealing with each other in our daily lives.  Everyone will be able to 
breathe more freely, and interact more freely, and live as Jesus has taught us. We just need to listen 
and learn and live with love.   The love of Jesus, not MTV...!   God Bless America...!
God help California...!

We are no longer experiencing politics as we once new it. We are experiencing hate.

The Democrat party has been taken over by zealots who want to transform America

into a country so far left that it can no longer be classified as a country.  It would be a

collection of fifty states without borders of any kind. A vast playground for liberal-

minded people to wallow in their idea of the Utopia of Socialism and Communism

until reality eventually sets in.

At this point in time, the only agenda of the Democrat Socialist Party of America, is

hate for President Trump. There is no other plan.  However, the agenda includes

weaponizing the justice system, and, ravaging the Constitution against everything

he does. And everything he does is for the good of the people of America, including

the naysayers. I am reading a book now by Victor Davis Hanson, “The Counter Revolution,”

which outlines the depravity that has been occurring. It is worth reading by everyone

who is interested in common sense, sanity, and basic fairness.

The Left, Liberals, the Media, Democrats, etc., have hijacked one word as their new

mind-set. That word is “objectify.” The use of that word is to demean or reduce

Trump, MAGA, conservatives, and anyone who uses common sense, to non-humans,

and virtual manikins or puppets.  Once they have been objectified, or reduced to a

nonentity, they can be dealt with dispassionately, with impunity, and with no messy

backlash.  All conservatives then can be looked down upon with disdain anywhere

and at any time. This technique has been used throughout the ages to subdue weaker

peoples and either pacify them or eliminate them. The Nazis in the 30s and 40s, and

radical Islam and the terrorists that they sponsor, presently.

The Democrat party has learned from the above how to tear down their house around

them in order to completely remake America into “america” 1619, DEI, LGBTQ, et al.,

by objectifying anything conservative and still keeping their sense of righteousness

intact.  They are still pretending to be the party of the people, and the party of the

laborer.  This has become much harder to sell because they are the obvious party

of the left-leaning liberals who are for abortion, which is leaning toward the killing,

not only of pre-born babies, but of children.  Also, the monumentally bizarre thinking

of men becoming women and women becoming men.  In a superficial, non-biological

way of thinking, you might rationalize your way into thinking this as fact.  But, not in

any way of stretching common sense or real biology.  In other words, the Democrats

have become the party of “Alice in Wonderland” and the   “Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.”

A lot of wishful thinking about Utopia, but nothing about common sense. They are no

longer the party of the laborer, but of the far left and its hate for America.

However, we are still left with the big question of:  Are there still large amounts of

people either remaining of being sucked into this failed political party? There is a

very important series of elections looming ahead in November.  Which way will the

voting public turn?  Will the voting be tainted or not?  Can we trust the system?

And then, what will the fallout be like? Bottom line:  Will common sense prevail?

Hopefully, our prayers will make a difference.  The Democrat, Socialist Left is atheistic,

and we know that our country’s independence depends for its survival on God, so let us pray

that the USA remains in Conservative hands.  God Bless America.

I have voted since I turned 18, many years ago. My family, especially my father, were staunch Democrats, laborers, union members.  However, as I began to think about upcoming candidates, I started to vote split ticket.  My reasoning was to vote for the best person, not just for the party. But, of course, I told no one that I was doing this.  My dad had made it very clear that we were all voting Democrat with no exceptions.

This rebel thinking of mine lasted until my first marriage.  My wife’s father was a staunch Republican, but he did not dictate terms to anyone. Just common sense.  So, once again I started thinking for myself about the candidates in general.  But, in talking to my new father-in-law, I came to see that splitting my vote was a waste.  I was helping no one.The new thinking became to “vote for the party.”  The next most important thing was the issues and policies involved, and helping to get very important laws and bills passed in Congress.  I had not thought this way before.  But now it all became clear.

What became clear was that the two parties – Democrat and Republican – were miles  apart in their thinking.  Democrats, even then (in the 60s) were leaning much farther to the left in their policies, and Republicans were more to the right, with common sense as their watchword and mission.  This appealed to me, so I changed my voting thinking. I felt then that my vote was very important to the country in general, even though it was just one vote, mine.

Unfortunately, there are far too many people who do not feel this way, thinking that their vote does not count or make a difference.  They are very wrong in their thoughts about the process.  When you look at the big picture, every vote counts and makes a difference. Just look at the totals on election night.  Some races are very close, by only a few votes. There is a difference.

When I think about the states of Maine, Minnesota, Michigan, etc., (what is it with the M’s?), I also think about all of the people NOT voting, and the people thinking that their vote does not count or make a difference.  And then I think about the damage that this lack of thinking and participation has caused.  Serious harm has come to these states by apathy, and, God forbid, it might be irreversible.  And even now, the only way to change this infection in these states is by voting.  Serious, common-sense voting.  No more apathy.  Everyone must step up!

Would anyone in my generation have even dreamed (nightmared) that Communists would be taking over cities and states “by being elected?” No!   Not in our wildest dreams.  And, in thinking back to the 50’s, when McCarthy was maligned and vilified, we can now look back and see his thinking and its relevance to our situation today.

Once again we see that we really don’t learn by our past mistakes, by history.  Why? because our young generations are not learning history, they are learning Socialism, Communism, and Islamism in our public schools!  This is the silent take-over that Khrushchev was talking about in the 50’s.  And Mao in the 60’s.  etc…!  We, all of us, have not been listening. We have not assessed the problem and decided to do something.  Why?  Because we have also been indoctrinated by our Media of all kinds.  The worst on the scene, however, has been the Internet, which reaches most of the world like a gigantic net.  And all people are drawn in to it.

So now, looming ahead of us, because of our apathy and indoctrination is “One World!” The ultimate Socialism, Communism, Utopia, which translates ultimately to world-wide slavery.  This, thankfully. is not here, but the groundwork is being laid right under our noses. The big question now is: “Are we aware and listening, and ready to steer our “Ship of State” back to the right, or not?  There is a solution.  It is called VOTING…!  And realizing that every vote counts and does make a difference.

Anyone who is now listening and thinking needs to spread the importance of voting to everyone, everywhere.  It is time to be active, to wake up the apathetic non-voters, and begin to “SAVE AMERICA…!”  One vote at a time.  God Bless America…!

Please consider reading:  “Rage and the Republic” by Jonathan Turley

Think of Socialism as flypaper.  Its tenets are sticky and meant to hook the unaware into its way of thinking.  Ages 13 through 40 are especially vulnerable.  It starts with denouncing religion of any kind, and denying the existence of God or Creator. Then, because there are no rules, real or implied, there is true freedom to do anything you want at any time. No restrictions of any kind apply to you.  Everyone is equal

Think of our recent past.  Men could be women and women could be men.  Babies were not human, and could be disposed of at will at any time. The State was in charge. As long as you followed the State, and were within its boundaries there was nothing to worry about, ever.  The utopian dream was beginning to take place in our lifetime. Everything was going to be free.  Everything provided for that we would need.  Ultimately there would be no income and no taxes, and no Capitalism. The State would provide all as in the Utopia of Socialism.  Everyone would be happy everywhere.

Ultimately there would be no opposition to anything. The media of all kinds saying the same thing every day. No large companies, no bosses, no production.  No stores because there would be no products or food sales.  No gas or clothes or medicine or commercials or TV or news, just reports from the State on approved loudspeakers, media and internet everywhere. All connected with video cameras everywhere to maintain a check to make sure everyone was continuing to be happy.  Those who were not happy would disappear quietly, and would never be seen again.

There would be no patriotism or nationalism or love of country or flags or songs of love of native land.  Eventually all countries of the world would be the same.  One world, one people of the earth.  No need to travel, everything would begin to look the same. No one would have any money.  No need for it, since the State would be providing everything that you would ever need.  Entertainment and sports would be much downgraded for lack of funding of inflated salaries.  Everyone would be stuck watching everything old.  Old movies, old games (baseball, football, basketball, soccer, curling, etc.), old concerts.  Musicians would have no reason to practice, for there would be no orchestras (and no unions), all would be just for fun.

But there would be peace at last!  No reason to be angry at anyone.  All territory would belong to everyone.  No real estate to bother with.  No individual housing of any kind. No rent or payments to anyone.  All would be provided by the State.  Missing also would be racism, hatred of anyone for any reason. There would be no money to be made by blackmailing or intimidating anyone else. There would be no schools as such. The State would be raising all children from 6 to 16.  Their education would consist of indoctrination by approved (indoctrinated) purveyors of approved information. There would also be approved and mandated centers for continued learning by adults, (all those over the age of 16).  Continued happiness would consist of required medication daily of derivatives of Valium or something similar in order to keep the temperament of everyone even and happy at all times.

Does the flypaper effect make any sense yet?

The above scenario is fiction, but certainly possible when you extrapolate the above possibilities.  They go way beyond Socialism and even Communism into the ultimate utopia, Statism.  Not just of a certain country, but of the whole world.  All production would cease during the adaptation period where everyone becomes acclimated to the new system.  Then, when all is even, the State would take over all production to provide the necessities for all, with all working to provide these. But instead of doing this as before with Capitalism, the new way would be with the unknowing, drugged population existing now as slaves to the State.  And more than happy to be part of it.

So what does the system that started with Socialism turn out to be?  Slavery of everyone on earth.  No more individualism or thinking or opposition to anything.  Just compliance to the State. Has anyone who now touts Socialism thought this far ahead? I think not!  Why?  Because Socialism does not allow anyone to think, creatively or otherwise.  So, beware the flypaper, the seductive smooth talk, the attractiveness of the exotic, the undercurrent of indoctrination by the left, liberal, airheads.  They are the earthly voice of Satan, whose only purpose is to steal the soul of everyone. And, it is not necessary to even believe in Satan.  If you are not personally aware that you have lost your soul, God does know. The same God who was abandoned by you long ago.

Why are we so divided?

Left, Right; Democrat, Republican; Liberal, Conservative; Socialist, Capitalist; Marxist, Free-thinkers; Black, White; Rich, Poor; Obama/Biden, Trump.

We all live in America, but…!

Left – Hates Trump no matter what he does!Right – Likes his leadership.

Left – OK with Obama/Biden censorship.       Right – Want both sides represented.

Left – Free things.                                            Right – Get what you pay for.

Left – High taxes.                                             Right – Low taxes.

Left – Sexual reveal/perversions.                    Right – Keep it zipped.

Left – Men recognized as women. (trans)      Right – There are only two sexes.

Left – Indoctrination of children.                    Right – Classical education of children.

Left – Atheism, no religious displays.              Right – Freedom of Religious beliefs.

Left – Racism used for every accusation.        Right – It was over until Obama.

Left – Judges rule.                                            Right – Constitutional law.

Left – One party in power.                              Right – Two party system.

Left – Utopia/government controls all.           Right – Work for your living.

Left – Gimme, gimme.                                     Right – Responsibility.

Left – One sided media.                                   Right – Balanced reporting.

Left – One world united.                                 Right – Love of country itself.

Is the above to be the future of America?

Do we really want this for our children and their children?Are we now condemning them, our society and our culture to the above servitude and a classless life of intellectual poverty?

Soon enough all of us now living here on earth will be gone.  The next generations of us will be taking over the earth.  Have we given them the tools to do this?  Will everything look and sound like the movie “Idiocracy”? (If you haven’t seen it, watch it).  Do we really want the above or some semblance of it for our future?  We would all become equal to (equity with) China, Russia, North Korea, Cuba, Afghanistan, and more.  One world of Socialist/Communist control.  And, who would be in charge?  Some liberal, narcissistic, unobtrusive, loud-mouthed, far-leftist, initially desirable non-entity like: Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Mussolini. Oh what a One World…!

And, according to our Socialist Democratic Liberal party, this is all due to Trump…!?    I don’t think so…!

The only solution that I can see is for our general population to get up from its lazy bottomand go out and actually vote.  And before this is possible, to clean up the voting process. Mandate voter IDs. 2. Very limited, verifiable mail-in ballots. 3. No extensions of voting times. 4. Supervised counting of ballots. We have some tests for this coming up soon. Great opportunity to clean up as much as possible.

If we could get the stupidity, insanity, and ridiculousness out of our national politics, maybe wehave a chance to get something done that is of real importance to these United States of America.  It has been a while that everything important has not been blocked by Dems.  Let’s hope and pray.  God Bless America.

Growing up in Ohio in the 40s and 50s, May was the month that school let out toward the end of the month.  It was an agricultural climate then, and the kids had to get back to their farms to help with everything that had to do with the harvesting of crops. And there was a lot to do.

But not everyone fit into this category.  Since Middletown was a steel town, a large part of the population worked at the Armco steel mill.  This was hot, occasionally dangerous work, especially in the rolling mill with the extremely hot ovens for melting the steel slabs and rolling them into the proper sizes.  My grandfather, Julius Svarda, died in that mill; I never found out the exact reason, but it couldn’t have been very pleasant.

But for us kids, being out for the summer was the greatest; summer being May, June, July and August.  (Back to school was always the day after Labor Day in September.)  What then? Well, we hit the swimming pools from after breakfast until time to get home for dinner, and became very brown with tanned skin and bleached hair from the chlorine. Otherwise there was always baseball somewhere and for me, various band practices or drills for marching in the fall.

These, of course, are my memories. Kids now have a very different lifestyle.  Much more scheduled in with more activities indoors.  But even the outdoor activities are scheduled tightly. Not nearly as much free time, if any, and if at all, they were closely supervised. This is what happens when the population practically everywhere gets dense.  And, because of this density, there are large bunches of kids who are not scheduled in. There are basically two types of unscheduled youngsters wandering around loose with nothing useful to do.

1. Poor: Both parents work, unsupervised, looking for ways to survive, so gravitate toward the dark side of life in order to gain importance and money.
2. Rich: Both parents work, unsupervised, looking just for something to do that is personally satisfying. These kids have the advantage of too much time and too much money. So escape into pleasure becomes of prime importance.  Drugs.  And the next step into the drug world is getting hooked.  Once this happens the downward spiral of their lives is determined.

What exactly does the above tell us about the society that we live in?  Well, there are two basic ways to approach life in our present society.  Scheduled, supervised, educated, able to think clearly, law-abiding, family oriented, full of life and love for others.  Or…the “un” version of all of the preceding.  But, the next big bump in the road has happened that affects both 1 and 2.  The Internet.  This brings everyone into contact potentially with everyone else, anywhere. The possibilities are endless, both good and bad and in-between.  And the Genie is now out of the bottle.  There is no returning to life as we once knew it.

Politically we are speaking of left and right, liberal and conservative, Republican and Democrat.  But not anymore.  We are speaking of global connections, instantly made.  Ideas come from computers, laptops, ipads, and the ubiquitous iphone. As adults, we are having our own problems with this flood of electronics.  But think for a moment about the next generation, and the next, and so on and on.  Is it possible to train them for the unknowns that are coming? How do we try, where do we even start?  I don’t know, but we at least have to try and find some answers that look to the future.  Our governments, both state and federal should serve this purpose. We should definitely start by voting intelligently.

Our governmental officials, both state and federal should be there for the progress of America, the benefit of all American citizens, and faithfully upholding the Constitution and Bill of Rights. In other words for progress, not decay and obstruction for the sole purpose of gaining power. Our future generations deserve this.  Let us please begin by thinking and voting intelligently.

God Bless America…!

War.  No One likes even the thought of war.  It is evil and nasty and uncivilized and illogical. So why does it happen?  Where does it come from.  Can it be prevented?

This has not been figured out since the days of Cain and Abel.  But there is one inherentfactor that is present every time it occurs throughout history.  Free will in humans. The world is inhabited by people who are good and those who are bad or evil thinkers.

Good people always try to find a way to eliminate evil, to stop the bad from doing evil things. They will go to great lengths to delay, even to the point of waiting too long to solve a serious problem until it takes them over.  Wishful thinking will not solve anything or even delay the evil that could eliminate the idealists that have their heads and their minds in the clouds. Warnings or attempts to negotiate with bad people have a natural time limit, and this must be recognized so as to be effective.  The good must realize that there is a time to act. Being a society of predominantly Christians and Jews, most citizens look for the good in everyone before condemning them and their actions. But they must not wait too long.

Bad and evil people think very differently. They have very different rules.  They crave power and total control. They do not allow opposition.  They lie, cheat, steal, rape, maim and murder with impunity.  They do not recognize themselves as being evil.  They have no conscience. They have no sense of religion or of a Creator, or of any other restraint like laws or law enforcement.  This fact makes negotiating with anyone ridiculous. There is no point to the process.  Think of all of the most evil tyrants of the past.  There was no bargaining with any of them.  Genghis Khan, Suleiman, Nero, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin.  All are known for eliminating religion of all kinds and mandating an atheistic society.  They are Fascists, Nazis, Tyrants, Totalitarians, Dictators, Socialists, Marxists, and Communists. The state in all cases becomes god.

Mohammed (Islam) is in a separate category.  He developed a religion from the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Bible) as did both Jews and Christians. However, because of the tenets of his idea, i.e. killing all disbelievers, stoning women who have committed crimes such as not wearing a burqa, being with a man not her husband, etc., and world domination, I believe that long ago this so-called religion turned into a fanatical cult.  It still is.  Their mission still is to take over the whole world. They have been infiltrating almost every country since their inception, growing in size, instituting Sharia Law wherever possible, easing into the governments to change laws to their advantage, and building mosques everywhere possible. This is usually a soft take-over, until it isn’t.

The twelve years we spent under Obama and Biden are a current example of another kind of soft take-over.  Systematically, from within the government, religion was being downplayed and ignored.  Laws were being passed that were from the left and far left of the political spectrum.  Schools, and education at all levels were being taken over by LGBTQ fanatics. Colleges and Universities were being heavily indoctrinated.  Politics was becoming one-sided due to the mass cheating in voting, causing a one party system of government. The Democrat party had been,  and is now being run by far left radicals and fanatics.  The once great and effective party has now been hijacked by bad and evil people from the far left. Conservatives are aware of this, Liberals are not.

                                                Which of the above do you identify with?

We conservative thinkers are once again faced with eliminating unconstitutional laws and processes and politicians from our government. There is only one man with the clout and courage and stamina to be able to lead us in this accomplishment:  Donald Trump. Men of his nature appear maybe once in a century.  We must support and protect him while he eliminates the obscenities of the preceding twelve years. We must vote in the coming elections for more brave and like-minded people who are for building up and protecting America, not tearing it down. We must do everything possible to make our elections legal and without the immense amount of cheating that has been inherent.  Some of those opposed to Trump have “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”  This is exactly what happens when teens rebel against their parents, specifically their father.  It also extends from that point to any authority, e.g. police or law enforcement of any kind (FBI, ICE, Swat, Military), or laws (rules) of any kind.  When this is the case, it seems like a good time to think about “growing up?”

No sane person likes war.  But, on the other hand, no sane person would avoid it when it is necessary.  If our homeland has been threatened for many decades, and now the aggressor has the means to attack us, then, obviously, we do not sit and wait for this to actually happen, we eliminate the means for the attack, ASAP.  But then the ubiquitous voice of the left in the media of all kinds must raise its ridiculous opposition and proceed to obstruct our defense in any way possible. Unfortunately, far too many people watch and listen to our one-side media and become indoctrinated to its obstructionist ideology.  This is how so many politicians who are unqualified and unAmerican can get elected. Repetition is how we get indoctrinated, even addicted, to fake reporting. There must be a way to bring back balanced reporting.  It has been absent for far too long. We, as voters, need to be able to see both sides of politicians and their issues. Not just the denigration of both in the media.

At this time are we able to see that in our present situation in America in 2026, that War and Defense might just be very similar, or even the same, if we are to secure our country? Agreeing on this would be a giant step toward coming together as Americans to protect and defend our government and its Constitution and Bill of Rights, and to eliminate extremist B.S. We could start also by securing our voting process by eliminating all cheating. Let us all vote clean and legally.  God Bless America…!

So I was talking to an older feller yesterday.  He was old, but still opinionated with some intelligent viewpoints.  We were sitting in a diner, a kind of old, but comfortable place.He started talking about politics and life when he was a lot younger.  Things were a lot different in the 40s and 50s than they are now.  His name is Buck.  And Buck was saying:

“Technology has made the biggest difference.  No iPhones or cellphones or answer machines meant that if no one answered when you called, you had to wait a while and call again. This took a degree of patience.  In the 40s when there were crank-up party phones and  telephone operators, you had to deal with someone who would put your call through, or not, if nobody was home. Party lines also had other people potentially listening in while you talked to someone. And also, when waiting for an important call you had to stay at home and wait for it, and try to calm your frustration. Once again, patience was necessary.”

So I asked him what he thought about our kids today, and the freedom and mobility that they have as opposed to kids in the 40s and 50s.  His immediate thought was that “As teenagers, they seem to be disconnected now from many things which used to be very important. First of all, family.  Home seems to just be a base of operations, a place for meals and also a sort of crash pad.  Kids now are so busy with so many things to do, sometimes it’s just, do you drive or do they drive? Before this we had meals together, with prayers and conversation and relationship with parents and siblings.  This same idea was practiced in a lot of companies and businesses, including friendliness, and sometimes a degree of harmony.”  But, I observed: The activities that schoolchildren participate in now are enormous, compared to what they were decades ago. Buck answered: “That is a very big difference.  We had sports, clubs and homework. Quite a difference in schedules. The stress level was also a lot lower”

Buck continued: “School was a place of learning those subjects that were to be important in our adult lives. Now it seems to only be a way to get into college.  But the most important attitude missing now, as we look back, seems to be respect.  Then it was taken for granted.  Anyone in authority was there for a reason.  Now, it seems that questioning everyone and everything, politically, seems to have taken the place of respect.  Kids seem to come out of their homes with a chip on their shoulders.  From the President down to the lowest type of law enforcement, they seem to be ready for a confrontation”. “Myself”, Buck says, “I always wonder if this trend isn’t from the flower children of the 60s.  Anything goes. Permissive parenting.  Did this breed the type of mindset that has been passed down to their children, and now to their grandchildren? I’ve wondered a lot. Maybe so.”

I said: And those who are now parents?  Buck: “I think they have forgotten how to discipline, or even what discipline really is.  Parameters, boundaries, do’s and don’t’s, listening to and abiding by the word “No!” Do we really have to protest and riot and make a mess of someone’s property when we hear the word No.?  The authority of our Constitution and laws, both local and federal are part of our society and civilization.  We need to recognize this and follow without making a fuss all of the time.  The word “No” should be non-negotiable. Understood by parents first, then their children, and then their grandchildren.  Authority is not a conservative way of being mean. It is the way civilizations survive.”  Read “Animal Farm” by George Orwell.

Me: Most of the above is about responsibility, or the lack of it.  And once again we refer to the 60s. Buck: “Drugs, free sex, trust no one over 30.  What kind of crap was that?” said Buck. “Well, it seems to be the kind that lasts through generations because we have the aftereffects blossoming even now. People are still “dropping out” or really just shirking all responsibility today.  This evil has also affected our own young now.  In the 40s or 50s we just wanted to get a beer somewhere. Cheap wine and booze was for bums lying in alleyways.  Today it is cocaine, fentanyl, and an array of designer drugs. Many of which lead to death.  But even worse is being addicted.  How does anyone afford an expensive daily, weekly, monthly habit that you can’t do without?”

Me: Crime.  Crime does pay, and very well, until you get caught.  But who thinks of that when addicting drugs are so necessary?  Read “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley.  Much of this was predicted long ago.  A whole society addicted to drugs can be very easy to control. Karl Marx says this in his books: “The Communist Manifesto” and “Das Kapital.” Buck says, “We have a whole party of Democrats buying into this nonsense, and sucking a generation or two into the idea of Utopia, Socialism, Marxism, Communism and One World.  It seems that there is one addiction bleeding into another, and yet another.  My generation fought and died to prevent any of this from happening again,” says Buck. “This trend is unimaginably depressing and destructive.”

Me: So who or what is to blame?  The 40s and 50s had alcohol, cigarettes, and a World War.  The 60s had permissiveness, “Let it all hang out.”  The 70s, 80s, and 90s vegetated into the turn of the century.  But did anything in life change for the better in the 21^st century?  Did we listen to the past? Did we learn anything from the past?

Apparently not because there appeared through the 1619 project an attempt, not only to erase our history, but to rewrite it.  The Liberal, Socialist, Marxist, Communist, Democrat party voted for abortion, even after a birth, (legalized murder). Mentally disturbed people began to take over in our government to mandate more sexes than male and female.  Boys (trans) began to compete in women’s sports, making it obvious to the sane that all of this was stupid.  Including the pronouns.  So Buck says, “The patients were then in charge of the mental ward. We had to endure the disconnected backwardness of two Democrat presidents to figure this out. Way too long. This is what happens when God is ignored or eliminated from our lives.”

Me: I agree. The most important part of our past lives, acknowledging God as our Creator, is now missing in far too many places. The Bible, Sunday Church and our Constitution have been our foundation for almost 250 years.  But those infected with Marxism, Communism, etc., are being indoctrinated to think these are unnecessary. Buck: “This trend has been very frustrating, but I feel there is going to be a change for the better.  Our society needs to be based on love, not suspicion and hate.”

I say: Does anyone now doubt the supreme importance of our next elections?  Do we once again want to slip back into the darkness of the left and the total mindlessness of Liberalism? Buck’s final thoughts: “Let’s wake up and smell the wastefulness and rot.  Let us support the only man able to make change for the better.  Let us pray for the mindless followers of the Left, that they awaken and abhor Marxism, Communism and the censorship of our media and vote for the continuation of the housecleaning of America. Let us truly Make America Great Again in this, the 250^th year celebration of the United States of America.   God bless us all…!”

The political climate in which we live today reminds me of the story of the frog sitting in a pan of water.  The frog is content just peacefully lounging, and is content to stay that way no matter what happens.  However, unbeknownst to him, the pan is being slowly heated.As the heat slowly rises, the frog stays put without reacting.  As the heat starts the water to bubble and eventually to boil, the frog still pays no attention until it is beginning to be cooked alive.  The end result, of course, is that the frog dies without noticing the danger it has been faced with.  It could have hopped out of the pan at any time, but ignored the signs of danger by being complacent and content with the status quo.

We also experience this problem in being a part of political parties which have been a part of us since we were children.  Our parents, grandparents, friends and relatives have all been a part of certain political parties.  The reasons are not always clear to us.  Sometimes our parents were in jobs that pressured them to be in a particular party or a labor union.  So, most of the time we vicariously became a part of this agenda, without knowing why, just following along. Or, our own friends or cousins that were becoming activists pulled us along into their way of thinking. Or the constant pounding of the media in all of its forms started to indoctrinate us without our knowing that there was another side or way of thinking about serious issues. In most of the above we are similar to the frog sitting complacently in a pan of water. We go along with the current trend without realizing that there is another side to most issues.

The problem with the above is that common sense is lacking.  We are not learning to think for ourselves, just being pulled along by trends and someone else’s ideas.  This is happening today in most of our education system, particularly our colleges and universities.  Professors and students alike are becoming activists and spewing propaganda so frequently that it is almost impossible to avoid.  The pressure becomes so prevalent and great that giving in seems to be that only comfortable way to exist.  Clear thinking is not even on the table.  But the analogy of the frog is still ahead. We choose the dark side without realizing that there is an alternative with common sense. We just need to stretch out our thinking a bit more.

Breaking with indoctrination is a lot like drying out from addictions.  There is no easy way. It is a day-to-day process that is unforgiving.  Only the most disciplined are able to accomplish this on their own.  Most of us need help.  Competent help only from those who have retained their common sense.

Faced with Socialism, Communism and Islamism, we are now living in tepid water. Will we listen to the warnings or will we continue to be seduced by the dark side of Collectivism, One World and Utopia?  Mass brain washing is happening now due to the far-left reporting of the media. We have been purposefully infiltrated by cells at the grassroots level, whose purpose is to take over our country and our way of life.  When all is ready and in place, a cue will be given by the head of a shadow government. It is at this time that those who have been hidden here amongst the millions of illegals from all around the world will move.  Due to the take-over of all law enforcement, including police, swat, national guard and military, all of us, left and right, liberal and conservative, rich and middle class, and the homeless poor will be enslaved.  This, my friends, is the utopia that is touted now by the left-leaning liberals that are left sitting in the pan of boiling water.

The above is a more than possible scenario. We need to head off its possibility by common sense voting for persons that intend to uphold our Constitution and our law enforcement.

We must cleanse our government of incompetent politicians who spew propaganda and get rich quick by enabling billionaires to force their anti-American ideas into our laws and way of life.  The silent majority of conservative-thinking voters need to become vocal activists before it is too late to keep control of our capitalistic society.  Silence and passive good-will will not do the job now.  The evil has run too deep.  We all need to get out of the pan and wake up to reality. The Soc, Lib, Dem party has had much too much time to increase their ways of cheating and manipulating and electing crooked lawmakers and weaponized judges.  Knowing this, any RINOs need to rethink their position for the welfare of America.  We need our bloc to be powerful enough to root out the inevitable cheating and evil ways that come about before every election.

Let us all wake up and get out of the pan. Let us educate our vulnerable young. Let us pray for the survival of the United States of America.  May each of our States be cleansed of any resident evil.  And may God continue to bless us and our land, America!

The problems we are experiencing now were started during the Biden Administration. Initially, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris caused us to have an open Southern Border with very little supervision or control. The result was years of undocumented migrants entering our country at will and with impunity. At the height of this, many thousands crossed over every day for a period of years.

The result of this illegal process was that multiple millions of undocumented people were transported to (were dumped on) newly established “sanctuary cities” and into hotels, etc., and given credit cards, driver’s licenses, and other gratuities, all of which we, the taxpayers, have unwillingly, for the most part, funded.  All of the above was a misuse of power by the president, vice-president and the rest of the complicit executive branch of our government.

When Donald Trump was then elected president, he began the process (approved by all thinking Americans) of reversing this illegal invasion by first, closing the Southern Border. Next, he appointed Tom Homan to be in charge of removing all illegals from our country. Homan started by removing the worst: criminals, drug dealers, cartels, gang members, and murderers, thieves, rapists from large cities and sanctuary compounds in places like Minnesota.  All of which is legal, lawful and properly directed. Then any illegals still here.

Every person with even a minimum amount of common sense is in favor of this process. No country can survive a terrific burden such as this monumental influx of illegal, undocumented people economically, financially, or with the unrealistic burden on law enforcement for very long.  Crime alone would permeate every nook and cranny of our society.  Nothing and nobody would be safe.

Now, however, we must deal with the misguided people of our own country who disagree with the above process of removal.  These people, following the original Democrat agenda, have decided unjustly and unlawfully to protest against the process of removal by Immigration and customs enforcement (ICE). They are typically following the leftist, liberal, Socialist Democrat, Marxist playbook (Communist Manifesto) further explained and implemented by Saul Alinsky (Rules for Radicals), to legitimize their actions to block law enforcement and ICE at every opportunity. In so doing, they are becoming just as evil as BLM and ANTIFA. And, of course, in this kind of illegal opposition, people get hurt, even killed. It is at this point that the leftist media of all kinds enter in order to foment more unrest, and also oppose law enforcement, ICE, DOJ, FBI, SWAT, National Guard, etc., with both fake and yellow journalism, half-truths and outright lies with edited newsreels and lying commentators.

BOTTOM LINE

The Biden administration, Democrat politicians, leftist lobbyists and billionaires, Socialists, Marxists, Progressives, weaponized judges and a woke infected citizenry have caused this problem.  Now they are dealing with the aftermath, but without any thoughts of fixing the problem.  They only want to attack the legitimate forces that are legally fixing the problems that they, in fact, brought about. If we step back a few paces and view this situation from above, it begins to look like the inmates are trying to take over the asylum.  Nonsensical. Nothing they do is about the betterment of America or the rest of us, the citizens.  It is about the Socialist/Marxist/Communist utopia.  Really…?  This is really insane…!

HOW DO WE FIX THIS?

We are already in the process of fixing everything that is possible to fix.

HOW?

Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, Marco Rubio, and the rest of the super intelligent members of the Trump Administration who are daily fighting the evils of the leftist, Socialistic/Marxist/Democrat bloc who appear to be hard at work thinking of ways to ruin these United States of America.

WHAT DO WE DO?

We vote with common sense to get rid of those in our government who constantly speak ill of everything we hold dear.  We vote to get rid of governors of states and mayors of cities who are out to ruin their own territories by just accumulating personal wealth, not upgrading and improving everything possible.  Absolute power corrupts, absolutely…! Vote in a way to make this impossible.  Be informed!  Pray that God may continue to Bless the United States of America.
