Fear is an emotion that most of us never have to deal with.  It is debilitating and all-consuming. We know some of its effects from movies and television, but only vicariously.  This watered-down emotion is light years away from the real thing.  If you have ever heard someone in real life scream out in terror, then you have a slight idea of how different this is from acting a part.

Unfortunately, there are places now in America where people are beginning to know fear in reality.  In some places it has become a daily happening.  Places where no one feels safe any more.  Police and law enforcement have been curtailed to the point where they are ineffective or unavailable or even told to stand down.  Even worse, our own DOJ and FBI have begun to terrorize ordinary citizens for unspecified charges when charges are even proffered at all.  An extreme example is the January 6^th show trial which exhibited many illegalities and departures from our shattered justice system.  Most of those detained for over a year without charges were not even allowed to speak with attorneys or family.  Many prominent citizens have since been targeted by the DOJ and then terrorized by the FBI by having their houses broken into by armed teams, then hauled away like criminals for doing nothing.  Even the Amish.

This is all illegally invasive and also unconstitutional.  Parents at a school board meeting who speak in opposition to ridiculous woke policies that are being covertly foisted upon their children are also cuffed and hauled away like criminals.  This is a curtailment of free speech and censorship, which is also illegal and unconstitutional.  The above examples should cause all Americans to be fearful of the present administration and decide to do something to stop the unilateral attack upon our rights by the left, liberals and our out-of-control government. And in addition, why does this administration need to add 87,000 more IRS agents carrying guns to an already questionable department? Control? Domination? Intimidation?

Our fear needs to lead us to action.  There is a crucial election ahead for many parts of our government, both state and national.  This is our best opportunity to get rid of officials who have been in office far too long and have lost their purpose in representing the people who elected them, and now are just accumulating money from special interest groups and lobbyists. It is also the best time to clean house of those who are admittedly socialists and communists. They hate America and our way of life.  They want to destroy our Constitution, Bill of Rights, schools, churches, borders, laws and free speech.  Let us vote them out with all of the Rinos and Trump haters who have only one agenda. Get Trump in any way possible.  Silence common sense and the voice of reason. Bury his accomplishments, then pay the price of stupidity.

Our fears also extend to what we say or what someone thinks we said.  Just pointing a finger anonymously can cause any of us to be accused of racism.  We are being bullied into accepting unscientific and unproven innovations such as vaccines, electric engines to replace gas, climate change in events that have occurred cyclically for millennia, and all things transgender.  All of this is ultimately to promote Utopia, One World, Global Communism, none of which has ever worked and will never work because it treats people like sheep, just animals to be controlled. The question being: who would have the final control?  The one with the most money? The most intelligence?  The most guns and military?  All of the above?  What is happening is evil.  Satan is in charge when any of this becomes possible.

Can we imagine our future without common sense? Without God or heaven? With no country?  No possessions?  What would you have?  You would have John Lennon’s version of Utopia, One World, Global Communism.  A world of sheep with only one shepherd other than Jesus Christ.  How about Soros, Schwab, Gates, Putin, Fauci, Obama, Oprah or Pope Francis? Remember: “Absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Check out the song “Imagine.”

Is there anyone in this country that really believes that printing money as needed, trillions of dollars, is ultimately without consequence?  Maybe someone from BLM or ANTIFA, those who represent fascism and tyranny, destruction and violence.  Only someone totally indoctrinated with the daily reporting of propaganda from CNN, MSNBC, could be suitably lead around by the nose like a sheep.  Let us all also remember: “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” There is no vaccine for stupidity, and there is no immunity.  The freedom to think and to “be” is not guaranteed. It takes constant work.  It takes common sense and a love for your neighbor; in fact, a familiarity for all of the Ten Commandments.

When we forget why we are here on earth and what is next for every one of us, we are doomed.   In this also, there is no immunity. All of us will at some time meet our Creator.  If you believe nothing else, then believe this. Pray for our country and pray for these coming elections.  Nothing is more important now than waking up ourselves and our neighbors. Let us vote for intelligence and common sense. And most importantly, let us vote…!     God Bless America.

I have been aware of our American presidents starting with Harry Truman during World War II. I was born in January, 1941, a war baby. I first became aware of Mr. Truman by listening to his radio broadcasts. My most poignant memory is his “no nonsense” way of talking which communicated his thoughts directly to the listener. During those times of privation, most people liked this and appreciated his candor. Mr. Truman was truly a leader. He was able to make decisions which were ultimately beneficial to everyone, at least that was my understanding at the time, and I retained this as I got older.

After the war was over, I remember the presidential campaign of Dwight D. Eisenhower.  He was the commander in chief of the allied forces during World War II who ultimately defeated the Axis powers.  His leadership in this was vital to the whole world.  His style was also “no nonsense” and direct.  He spoke succinctly to all Americans during his campaign but also after he became president. I still remember his campaign slogan “I like Ike” which was on the campaign buttons which I treasured at the time.When he became president, there was no doubt where he stood on issues or what he planned to do or how he would handle the issues of the day.

After Eisenhower, things became less and less accessible to the American people.  Our next president was John F. Kennedy.  His presidency was termed at the time as “Camelot.” With his wife, first lady Jackie, there was an unreal feeling of a storybook nature to their lives and from the news reporting of the time.  The media started becoming even more prominent than it had been in the past. Television was now added to radio, and with the printed newspapers and magazines there was an increased fervor to report even the slightest happening of note, either real and true or fictional but interesting as gossip. With television, the president spoke directly to all Americans in real time or over and over in short clips edited faithfully or not.  This could have been beneficial, but, increasingly the media got creative. News anchors (reading the text and ideas given to them by the owners of the stations), presented their take on what the president actually said or meant.  They began treating the public as if we were pre-schoolers and that their job was to explain to us the real and deeper meanings of what we just heard.  This became like “playing telephone” and after a time, more latitude was given to adding and subtracting new meanings until we started hearing “breaking news” ad nauseam. Remember the “Bay of Pigs” and the “cold war.”  After President Kennedy was assassinated, Lyndon Johnson became president and was hounded throughout  by the war in Vietnam. He made an attempt at forming the “Great Society,” but he was instead mired in a “no win” situation.

President Nixon was next to attempt organization and leadership. He ended the Vietnam War, but was hounded out of office by the “Watergate” debacle.  His successor, Gerald Ford just accomplished a measure of balance and reasonable organization by the end of his term.   Next was Jimmy Carter and his attempts at peace in the Middle East, followed by Ronald Reagan who was able to bring back a fair measure of “common sense,” prosperity and balance along with trust in God and patriotism (love of our country). Even with these plusses he still had to survive an assassination attempt. Next, President Reagan’s Vice President, George H. W. Bush dealt with internal problems and increasing mid-east turmoil, succeeded by President Bill and Hillary Clinton enterprises. This included the “blue dress” and creeping liberalism.  George W. Bush was saddled next with the destruction of the New York trade center by terrorists,  and his immediate response to go to the mid-east and “kick ass.”  He was both celebrated and vilified for his response and his policies.

With all of this history behind them, the media circus was in full force.  Liberalism was growing exponentially, and those who could actually think were beginning to think of the movie “Idiocracy.”  We, as a nation, were being systematically “dumbed down.” So…enter Barak Obama (after trouncing Hillary Clinton).  Obama caused an explosion of liberalism from the far left.  Blacks  (slavery), gays (alphabetically), health care (Obamacare), everything geared to a Utopian society.  All of this grew stronger through his two terms.  His best friend was the “fake news.”  He could do no wrong.  And, he was just setting the stage for the biggest blow-out in American history which was being re-written along with education in general.  The mood from the top down was Anti-American, anti-God, anti-anything conservative, anti-police and anti-Constitution.  Conversely all was becoming pro-violence, pro-drugs, pro-open borders, and pro-lose our societal identity.  But, when Donald Trump was elected President, he applied the brakes to the dismay of the far left and socialist Democrats and liberals everywhere.  His re-set caused a return to prosperity, low prices for food and gas, respect from foreign countries, secure borders, and a conservative balance both in this country and abroad. Enter Joe Biden, ex-Vice President under Obama.

On his first day as President, Joe Biden began to reverse all of the things that made America once again prosperous and safe to live in. He opened the door widely to the worst policies of the Democrat party and the extremism of the Marxist, Socialist, liberal activists such as BLM and ANTIFA, both fascist organizations.  And, approaching his second year, Biden has done nothing of value.  He has only bought into the evils of the far left and extreme liberals and proceeded accordingly to systematically destroy everything of value in our once great country.

Those of us who are left with common sense and the best conservative ideas must begin to push back.  People who are on the fence must wake up to what has happened.  Read the new books by deep-thinking minds, listen to conservative news programs and prepare to vote the unqualified, unthinking out of office. Everywhere.  Let’s begin  this November.  And, with our deepest, most fervent prayers, let us all ask God to bless and save our beloved United States of America…!

Actually the devil is everywhere.  The devil personifies evil which is everywhere, we just need to recognize its presence.  I believe that the devil is not a man dressed in a red suit and having horns and a pitchfork.  This may be perfect for Halloween, but no help in real life.  The devil is evil, pure and simple. The devil’s tools are seduction, charisma, thoughts of utopia, the internet, and no limits to pleasure, including sex, drugs, atheism, alcohol, crime, and causing hurt to others.  Good, on the other hand, is the total opposite.

Good is based on common sense, religion, belief in a supreme being or creator, responsibility, work ethic, care for others and moderation in our daily lives. Religion tends to give the believer some extra help in recognizing evil and the pitfalls in dealing with it. Warnings to beware of specific evils that are especially destructive are very helpful at times.  This has worked for thousands of years for many and has also been ignored by many for the same amount of time. And during that time we have had to make choices between good and evil constantly in our daily lives.  Choices can be our salvation.

The above sounds to me a lot like the difference between the liberal and conservative ways of thinking. Liberals want to change everything to a utopian way of life.  A lot like living in a sort of Garden of Eden where there are no choices or responsibilities and no limits.  This reminds me of the story of Pinocchio and one of his difficult choices.  He was seduced into going to “Pleasure Island,” the island of lost boys.  Everything was available with no limits or responsibility.  It was decadent beyond his wildest dreams, until it wasn’t, and he ended up as a slave with donkey ears.  He was seduced with false promises.

This seems to mirror our own society at the moment.  We are being seduced with false promises of liberal agendas of the “green new deal” being an easy fix to climate change by getting rid of coal and oil and exclusively using wind and solar without explaining that we do not have grids that can handle this load. The battery necessities, and grids are not powerful enough for this kind or amount of load, and will not be ready for many decades.  This, like electric cars, is an idea that is premature and ill thought out. It is a scam.  Someone is making lots of money. Liberal education is now about teaching sexual perversion in school and perversions of fundamental subjects that used to be helpful to our young.  Liberal politics needs censorship to pass laws that are useless or even destructive. The content must stay hidden until it becomes law.  Irresponsible printing of billions of dollars by the Federal Reserve has caused inflation and printing even more is said to be the cure.  Raising taxes is said to be the cure for our recession.  All of this insanity comes from the inmates of the White House.

Every one of us has to make daily  choices between good and evil.  We can be responsible, care for others, sensibly educate our young, have a religion as our moral compass and express our patriotism and a love for our country or not.  But we have this choice. Until we don’t.  We need to remember the the devil is in all of our details with a seductiveness that is very difficult to resist.  The devil and evil is relentless, but we have a choice and common sense if we choose to use them.  Let us choose wisely.

If any of us had the unlimited time, inclination, resources, and the need or will to eventually take control of this country of ours in its entirety, what would be our initial move? How would we start?  In the long term we would have to take control of the educational system that is in place at the moment and begin to modify its processes toward indoctrination in our new policies.  Next would be the government itself in all of its facets including the military.  Simultaneously, censorship would have to be pervasive.  Everyone would have to agree on the direction and way of proceeding, with no opposition. All communication would have to be monitored to insure the above with suitable penalties employed to intimidate and eliminate free thinkers.  This would undoubtably begin as Socialism or Marxism and gradually morph into an extreme form  of control such as a dictatorship or even a monarchy with one person (you) in charge with absolute control over all subjects.

Just imagine what you could accomplish if you were in that position. There would be no need for courts or judges or attorneys. Only your word would be necessary and final. No recourse!  An ultimate simplification and time-saver in the daily lives of everyone.  Your educational system would include your categories of workers necessary for the smooth running of the country: agriculture, military, medicine, teachers, scientists, and enforcers and servants of all kinds and natures.  Life would be enormously simplified.  People that you designate as leaders and elite for whatever reason, or those that gather information vital to your rule, would act as an upper house or sort of court that you depend on to keep everything running smoothly.

Your long-term plan as everything expands would then be annexing other countries that have already been softened up for your domination by using your initial plan which has worked so beautifully.  And to keep everything in place indefinitely, you would need to start a family, also under strict control.  This would free your mind in many other ways.  Nothing would be impossible. Everything would be the result of your ideas… So,

As we return to reality, I don’t see the above as science fiction or even fiction.  I see this as happening right now as we live our lives from day to day.  But it is progressing so slowly that we (most of us) are not aware of any major changes, only annoyances and irritations.  Surely someone else will deal with these. I am way too busy. So what are we really talking about in the above scenario?  Freedom.  (Except for one person).  When freedom is limited and lessened and viewed from a distance, there is a point at which it becomes difficult to retain, then improbable, then virtually impossible to retrieve.  Only a very vivid memory.  Many have said that freedom isn’t free. It takes hard work and constant vigilance to retain.  This must not become only a distant thought. It must be a daily thought which can be turned into action when necessary. And who will tell us when it is necessary to act to insure our freedom?  Politicians?  Courts, law enforcement, those in the Senate or Congress or lobbyists? Agitators, thugs, criminals or news anchors?  Anyone?  Don’t count on anyone, anywhere.  Each citizen must figure this out in advance as things start slipping away from our Constitution and Bill of Rights.  Each one of us must be aware and ready to act in the spirit of the Scouts’ motto: “Be Prepared!”  Never was anything more true and vital than the “now” part of our history when everything is upside down and we are being told that NO, everything is right side up.  People who “think” know how to smell decay and root out lies that are constant and pervasive.  They may be few now, but their numbers must grow.

Hopefully these thoughts are somewhat provoking to you, the reader.  But being provoked is not enough, only a start.  Each of us must now become informed and aware.  We must find ways to lessen, then stop societal erosion beginning with our sacred vote, also insuring that it is transparent and legal.  And we must also begin to spread our responsible information to those who sit and vegetate.  All of our voices need to be heard, not just the liars and thieves.  Let us stand up! Let us think freely! And let us sing as one:  “God Bless America!”

A large percentage of our American society is now mentally unstable. And this seems to be growing at an alarming rate.  Some have dropped out of our communities to live in tents or cardboard boxes.  Some have decided that they will restructure or even overthrow our governmental processes at the local, state, or even the national levels.  And some have decided to surgically remove individuals that seem to them to be unnecessary or dangerous to them, or even just randomly in their way by violent means.  These people think nothing of using guns, knives, bombs, or anything else that is obtainable or convenient for them to acquire.  And how do mentally unstable people acquire various means of destruction?

First of all, they usually seem like normal people.  They are able to fit into their families, schools, workplaces and society in general.  This enables them to appear innocuous to most other people.  (“He seemed like such a nice person.  He was such a quiet person, a loner with no friends, but harmless.”) So how do we learn to recognize a mentally disturbed person who could be planning a mass shooting or bombing or other heinous crime?

Second of all, we are not legally able to deal with a mentally disturbed person, even if we do recognize him or her as such.  This is an enormous impediment to the safety of everyone in general.  How do we prepare for the unknown if we don’t recognize it as potentially harmful?  And how do we deal with someone who is recognizable as harmful  if we are legally prevented from stopping the person or even calling 9-1-1 or the police who are also hobbled and  unable to deal with mental instability?  If prevention is unlikely or impossible, then we must sit or stand somewhere until the perpetrator actually perpetrates.  In other words, when the shooting, bombing, etc, actually starts, then we can become proactive. Then we can think of protecting ourselves, our families, and others.  Well, as any intelligent person knows, at that point it is way too late for prevention or even calling for help. Survival is your only thought in the few precious seconds. Or maybe a very quick prayer before something happens.

Third of all, the above scenario is not optimal or workable or sensible.  It is a recipe for failure in our security and law enforcement system, both of whom are ineffective due to the skewed political thinking which is governing our present, liberal justice system.  The politics of the left has decreed that guns are the sole problem in our society concerning our safety and the safety of our schools and churches and workplaces.  This limited thinking is the sole reason that we have this problem in the first place.  Their simple fix: make all of the guns disappear.  As any intelligent person knows, this will never happen. It is impossible.  Like our war on drugs (a failure).  The bad guys will always have guns and access to guns and bombs (recipe on the internet) and knives and hand grenades, etc.  All that our fractured political thinking has done is make everything worse by the convoluted thinking of our leftist, socialist, communistic elected(?) leaders in this Congress and administration. Their thinking is based on blaming anyone who thinks intelligently and shouting them down at every opportunity.  Those thoughts must never reach the mainstream media (who would not publish them anyway).

Fourth of all, the strength of every free thinking person in America is in our numbers.  We must overwhelm the liberal, socialist, communist, idealistic wishful thinking policies of those who are leading us astray down the path to oblivion.  We must insist on fair, transparent and legal elections at every level.  We must insist on fair, balanced and uncensored reporting in all of our media, internet, social media, and newspapers. And we must insist that our elected representatives from the local through the national levels follow through on the campaign promises that they make to their constituents.  No more RINOS.  No more switching sides when the going gets rough.  And no more deviations from the principles laid forth in our Constitution and Bill of Rights.  All of the above problems are solvable with intelligent thinking.  The liberal, leftist insanity that we have too long experienced must be reversed and ultimately stopped.  Our ideals, faiths, justice, education systems must be realigned to the reality of our daily lives.  Out of control environmentalists who are ruining our economy and our way of life must be reeducated. And the basic security of us and our nation must have closed and secure borders as does every other nation in the world. Sanity must again be the rule.  We must overrule the Mad Hatter and his inept minions.  Enough mental instability.  Figuring this out is the only way to the salvation of these United States of America.  May all people of conscience and goodwill and intelligence come out of hiding in silence and loudly make their voices heard to set  our nation back on its original track of respect and responsibility so that we all may once again live in peace and prosperity.  May God hear us and once again deign to bless these United States of America.

When the “left” says “zip it,” they mean your mouth, not your pants…!  They, for the moment, have de facto control of almost everything that is conservative in our country.  How we talk, how we think and act, and how we go about our lives.  We are living for the moment in the “Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.”  Everything is turned upside down.  The “Queen of Hearts” is in charge.  And she is a monstrous bully.  What the left believes today may be backwards from tomorrow.  And anything that a conservative says or does today might be seen as outrageous or life-threatening or even seditious tomorrow.  No matter how stupid or laughable is something that the left proposes, we are expected to believe it and abide by it until it is whimsically changed by the left.  And if one proposes a conservative thought using common sense, that person is castigated, and shouted down (a favorite tactic), until the person ceases or leaves or quits in frustration.

We used to live by rules.  All sports have rules which everyone follows unquestioningly. Any disputes are decided by umpires or referees and we abide by these in every sport.  In our government we have a Constitution and a Bill of Rights which we follow and which are administrated by three branches of our government, the Executive, Legislative and Judicial.  This has worked for many decades.  There are those in the left that are trying to undo the system, which is the best system in a world of other systems.  The changes proposed are seemingly taken right out of “Alice in Wonderland.”  They are ridiculous, idealistic, utopian ideas based on wishful thinking and relying on the total control of every person, regardless of their status.

That any of this is tolerated by anyone is unthinkable by anyone with even a modicum of common sense, but we are expected to suspend our beliefs and just go about our lives as they start to disintegrate around us.  The left is so evil that they will attack anyone and anything at any time.  Their methods are violence, destruction, intimidation, bullying,  lying and cheating. Their tools are colleges and universities who, by their partial and incomplete knowledge of real life are easy dupes and malleable; the CEOS of  large companies and Oligarchs; clueless unions such as that which controls teachers with nonsense and leftist drivel; law enforcement from local up to the federal government; and the courts at all levels, especially liberal attorneys and judges.

All of this is ultimately made possible by the media of all kinds who only report one side of everything that occurs involving liberals and their untenable and evil policies and attacks anything that opposes these.  Nothing liberal has any transparency, just duplicity.  There is only one point of view in our media concerning our lives, party policy, our language, our habits, our beliefs and our families and children.  If we try to protect our own, we are considered “domestic terrorists.”  None of this is right or workable for very long. The French Revolution started in a similar way and its liberal policies eventually destroyed itself by eating its own (by the guillotine).  This always happens in history when idiots rule and bullies enforce.  But, also in history, the pendulum swings in time in the opposite direction before once again coming to rest in the center where once again people can speak freely about anything. And how do we get the pendulum to swing to the right?  All people of conscience must vote for people who care about their country and its citizens, all of them.  First, however, there must be an election process that is fair and legal according to our Constitution.  This is paramount.

Until then, it seems we must start to stockpile food, use gasoline wisely, prepare for our own protection, create a hedge against mob rule and destruction, unite with our neighbors for any eventuality, and once again participate in our churches.  This can set our minds at ease with clear thinking based on millenniums of precedent in similar circumstances.  Good always triumphs over evil, but we cannot assume, we must work actively toward a fortuitous outcome.  Our very existence and the perpetuation of our children and their children depends on this. Amen, Hallelujah, Namaste, and may God continue to bless and protect the United States of America.
