The following article is printed with permission from The Toll Online, a site I came across this morning. Doug Lynn, or “Uncola” (his pen name), is as thoughtful and insightful as I’ve read. He clearly falls into the category of those who “can say it better than I ever could.” It is not a highly religious discussion as one might anticipate from the first few paragraphs. Read the whole essay…it’s most definitely worth the time and effort.

An American Nobody Rides the Apocalypse

April 7, 2021

by Doug “Uncola” Lynn:

During an afternoon escape from high school in a Ronald Reagan world, I opened a Bible that was sitting on an end table in a doctor’s office.  The physician was a specialist located an hour away from my hometown and was to advise on a Septoplasty procedure for my deviated septum. It was nothing serious –merely the result of mishaps which occurred, primarily, in martial arts and wrestling.

While paging through the Bible, I flipped to the back because I was an impatient soul back then.  It wasn’t the first time I had scanned the pages of Revelation, nor would it be the last, but on that day I was simply waiting. The third verse of the first chapter said:  “Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand”.

The following words then formed a kaleidoscope, of sorts, in my mind whereupon visions appeared through the mist and shadow of time:  There was an ancient apostle dreaming on an island about congregations future and past; of symbolic animals, beasts and reptiles; angels, priests, and kings… good and evil, all amidst smoke scrolling up toward heaven as plagues and earthquakes ravaged the lands below in diverse places.  

The thirteenth chapter was quite interesting in that it described a blasphemous beast rising from the sea and a dragon that gave power to the beast over “all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.” Another beast was said to have risen from the earth and caused all of the accursed to worship the image of the first beast which had suffered a devastating wound and lived. Those who did not worship the beast’s image were appointed to die; while others, upon their own volition, would receive a mark on their right hand or forehead so they could “buy or sell”. The mark might be the name of the beast, or the number of his name… of which those who possessed “wisdom” would identify as 666.

Strangely enough, the descriptions in the Bible’s Book of Revelation also appeared to correspond with the Apostle Paul’s “son of perdition” (KJV), or “man of lawlessness” (NIV), in 2 Thessalonians 2:

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition…

-2 Thessalonians 2:3

…. whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

-2 Thessalonians 2:9–11

As a high school student, four decades ago, I wondered if the earth’s entire population could be deceived and controlled to the point of being branded like cattle in order to buy and sell. I seriously questioned if the metaphysical mysteries of prophecy could manifest in modernity and, if the visions did come to pass, how a “falling away” would occur that would take humanity from here to there.

Of course, back then, there were just four channels on TV and my only computing device was a Texas Instruments calculator. So the idea of future kings handing over the world to a wicked and all-powerful dictator seemed far-fetched. Cynically, at the time, I even made immature mental comparisons to Marvin the Martian’s attempts to blow up the earth.

Admittedly, however, there were totalitarians throughout history who reveled in their sick lust for power.  Yet, I believed, there was no way they could control entire populations dispersed across the globe, let alone in the United States; especially with patriotic American presidents like Ronnie Raygun at the helm and in possession of the nuclear launch codes.

Even so, throughout my adult life, I still retained a sense of doom.  Why? It’s hard to say. After all, I survived childhood in the sixties and the seventies; growing up on Skynyrd, Zeppelin, Zappa, and Petty; amidst 22’s, 12 gauges, and custom mini-bike races with no helmets; jungle gym’s over asphalt and lawn dart wars in the black of night; early skateboards and shooting bats in moonlight; stolen Playboys and cigarettes and fist-fights by fire-light.

Yet the pervading pessimism remained as the streets were filled with yuppies in their BMWs during Reagan’s “Morning in America” and while Springsteen sang “Born in the U.S.A.”  Even then, I had the sense we were living on borrowed time.  Perhaps I was predisposed to such thinking after viewing movies like “Bladerunner” and “Terminator”, or by reading Tolkien’s’ “Lord of the Rings” trilogy along with my steady diet of science fiction and dystopian literature.

Even with the advent of cable television in my hometown, I recall flipping through the channels and seeing a TV preacher passionately exclaim: “If cables can deliver video into your home, they can send it out too!” 

But that was only the beginning. 

Next came personal computers, the internet, cellular phones, wireless technology, and smart devices that kept getting smarter and smarter; all accompanied by The War on Terror®, killer drones, and panoptic digital surveillance.

How far we fell, indeed, and the year 2020 was a veritable occult rite of passage into The New Normal®.  A global initiation ritual was performed and a spell was cast upon the earth.  Now, most of America, and the world, live under the hex of a hallucinogenic fever dream.

Welcome to the new reality where global health institutions, including the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO), are funded by billionaires and politicized by communists planning to purge entire populations; as nation-states around the globe have surrendered to medical tyranny with cult-like obedience.  Even worse, in the new age, strange beings with peculiar voices and odd mannerisms warn, chastise, and cajole through electronic screens; and, paradoxically, one even resembles Marvin the Martian.

How we arrived in our current circumstances is certainly debatable… but there is no denying the future is here.

Just days ago, as of this writing, a musical pop star sold 666 pairs of “Satan Shoes” for $1,000 each.  The shoes included a pentagram on the laces, 666 on the back, a Bible verse on the sidewall (Luke 10:18 – referencing Satan’s banishment from heaven), and a drop of human blood “somewhere along the soles”.  The 666 pairs of $1,000 satanic sneakers sold out in less than a minute.

Additionally, a compromised pervert and his snickering side-kick now lead America’s Executive Branch while corrupt clowns control the U.S. House and Senate. Our politicians are pay-for-play puppets installed by grift and fraud in a lawless nation.

President Trump’s former White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, recently summarized the new reality in a Tweet:

In Joe Biden’s world: you don’t need an ID to vote, you don’t need any kind of ID to cross our border… but you might need a government “vaccine passport” to resume your normal life.

So how did we pass into The New Normal®? Certainly, there were many reasons:  We saved a few bucks at Amazon.com while local businesses withered on the vine. Millions worked hard to pay universities that turned the nation’s young adults into leftist loons while others let their sons and daughters finance their destructive indoctrination over a period of decades. We allowed politicians to subsidize the welfare state with our tax dollars. We valued fake food more than health; sportsball, paper money and McMansions more than our future; and entertainment above civic responsibility.  Then we stood stupefied as our institutions collapsed around us.

America could be likened to a hardened macroaggregate that was first softened, then liquefied, collapsed into a vortex, and drawn down the proverbial drain; with echoes of laughter and wailing over Trump’s tweets and Ross Perot’s giant sucking sound ringing in our ears.

“Solve et coagula” said the central planners, as the criminals chuckled back stage and the loons raged; all drunk on the will to power, they sought death and destruction.

Regrettably, there is no way to escape the madness now.  It is too late, partially because propaganda thoroughly permeates the airwaves of the new reality; and in a manner that would surely cause Huxley and Orwell to writhe in their graves.

As a young man, I could have never imagined a world where a media-hyped virus would serve as the gift that kept on giving to totalitarians actively consolidating their power. But here we are.

At the end of last month, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky warned of “impending doom”following another “rise in COVID cases”. This is, in fact, the strategy underlying the Covid deception: The pressure is applied, then released, then applied again. 

A year ago, by then older and wiser, I predicted this plan at the early onset of the plan-demic, in an article entitled:  “April Fools: In the New Age of Deception, Coronavirus has Hastened the Old Collectivism”

We’re about to enter into a real Walking Dead scenario and the Dark Powers will be getting years of mileage out of COVID-19 in every aspect of post-American life.

Truly, the new age will be delivered by concentrically tightening circles of control – like a noose. The Powers That Be have successfully divided and dispersed what they have deemed a threat: the American people. All that remains now is the conquering, and it will come in waves, or seasonal cycles…

Undoubtedly, the deception is meant to be continuous as the information war is waged. 

Consider how honest skeptics have questioned why Florida’s measured response to the “pandemic” resulted in death rates which were statistically similar, and even superior, to other states such as New York and Michigan – both of which were locked down in Orwellian fashion.  Having no factual response, the propagandists, instead, uniformly post articles which simultaneously show on “smart” devices around the globe: 

“Florida COVID numbers face new scrutiny”

Conservatives have celebrated [Governor Ron] DeSantis for his handling of the pandemic, which has killed more than 30,000 residents of the state. Critics of the combative governor, meanwhile, say that many of those deaths would have been prevented if he had listened more diligently to health experts. DeSantis resisted lockdowns, downplayed masks and has made it increasingly difficult for localities to institute public health measures of their own.

And the state could be on the cusp of a new coronavirus surge…

Did you catch that?  A “combative (conservative) governor ignoring the “health experts” paired to the warning of another surge. Always another surge:

 “Coronavirus: 3 reasons why confirmed cases are on the rise again”:

…according to Dr. Calvin Sun, an NYC-based emergency medicine physician, there are three main factors driving this recent uptick: the virus mutating, the rolling back of safety measures, and the recent increase in travel.

… The CDC still recommends not traveling, both domestically and internationally.

… No one is forcing you to quarantine. That is based on your ethical guidelines and what you feel is right or wrong but when something bad happens, that’s on you when you infect other people.

… Don’t wear your mask underneath your nose. That’s not wearing correctly and of course you’re going to have consequences when you don’t do things correctly, half heartedly.

…. Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)…. highlighted a bright spot on Tuesday, telling MSNBC: “Our data from the CDC today suggest that vaccinated people do not carry the virus.”

Isn’t that interesting? Amidst all of the manipulative emotional blackmail… the director of the CDC told MSNBC “that vaccinated people do not carry the virus.” 

Except, of course, according to the CDC, vaccinated people CAN carry the Covid-19 virus.

Certainly, in The New Normal®, the truth has become irrelevant; especially as digital tsunamis of Orwellian “suggestions” flood billions of internet devices throughout the world. The messages arrive as subtle warnings and outright decrees; seemingly whispered by the devil himself:

“Fully vaccinated people can travel”

“Now that you’re vaccinated, here’s what you can and can’t do”

“It’s possible to reach herd immunity, then lose it. Repeatedly. Here’s what you can do to help prevent that from happening”

“Vaccine doses setting records, but another virus surge feared”

“The final insult: Some dying of COVID while awaiting vaccine”

With mainstream media massaging like that, it is no wonder a majority of Americans and Europeans now support vaccine passports.   Additionally, the Health Authoritarians are potentially programming populations for annual vaccination boosters and, seemingly, they want to vaccinate your kids  as much as the politicians appear to want your guns.

At the same time, whistleblowers and honest skeptics such as America’s Frontline Doctors, Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, Dr. Judy Mikovits, and others, have revealed the successful conventional treatments for Covid-19 while warning against the experimental, and even potentially harmful, Covid vaccines.  Yet, all of these respected physicians have been summarily slandered and censored by the “more equal” Health Authoritarians of the New Reality.  

That is, in part, how we arrived to this particular “future”:  Through the propagandizing of deception as contravening information was maligned and censored.  And the tech gods had only to provide the slightest of nudges to a majority of Americans.  This allowed the “sheep” to contentedly sip their Starbucks and wear their respective normalcy bias like wool blankets.

For those who may not know, the “Event 201” plandemic exercise was held in New York City in October 2019 – just weeks before the first Covid-19 deaths were reported in China. The event was sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, John Hopkins University, and the World Economic Forum (WEF). 

Since that time, Bill Gates, the founder of a software conglomerate, has been on the news every week promoting various healthcare initiatives. Gates first urged more Covid testing before quickly transitioning into a moderately successful Global Vaccination Passport Salesman.  John Hopkins University posted all of the Orwellian Covid Maps that terrified the internet over the last year, and the founder of the WEF, Klaus Schwab, is actually the architect behind the communistic Great Reset®.

Most recently, Schwab has organized efforts toward a “global pandemic treaty” with multiple world leaders in order “to prevent future pandemics, distribute vaccinations, and implement a unilateral approach to global governance”. 

In a joint letter, this international consortium of globalists declared the following:

Together, we must be better prepared to predict, prevent, detect, assess and effectively respond to pandemics in a highly co-ordinated fashion. The Covid-19 pandemic has been a stark and painful reminder that nobody is safe until everyone is safe.

Klaus Schwab further clarified the group’s statement with a clarified declaration of his own:

As long as not everybody is vaccinated, nobody will be safe.

Self-Declared Defender of Humanity

I believe I would trust Marvin the Martian, an actual cartoon, more than the risible comic book clowns vying for world domination today.  At least Marvin the Martian stated his true intentions and was not attempting to blow up the earth under the pretense of saving it.

But, seriously, it seems only the wrong side knows exactly what it wants in the grand zeitgeist of our time.  And, unfortunately, the elite billionaires are better organized with superior communications, surveillance, and strategy. Furthermore, considering the warfare has been informational so far, they have air superiority, so to speak, given their centralized control over media and technology.

It has now become obvious that Conservative America was preemptively decapitated by a billionaire reality TV star with orange hair and social media flair, as the Health Authoritarians were busy weaponizing the flu toward the goal of establishing a global medical dictatorship. And the end result has been Conservative America being deceived into shuttering their businesses and churches while wearing face coverings and standing 6-feet apart in the public square; ultimately, even tricked into accepting government-issued stimulus cash while staying self-sequestered in their homes.

In the commentary of my last article, a commenter posted the following quote by Winston Churchill:

If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.

To be sure, this outright call-to-action makes a strong argument for choosing one’s battles (and hills upon which to die) earlier as opposed to when it’s too late.

As for me and my tribe:  We will seek to live our lives unimpeded. We will select our battles carefully. We will practice non-violence while defending ourselves, with vigor, when necessary.  To shield our minds, and for the same reasons we refuse to inhale toxic air or drink poison, we will ignore the news and neglect the mandates of the Health Authoritarians.  And when the propaganda cannot be avoided, we will fully understand the agenda behind the headlines and the arbitrary and unjust mandates.

Even so, we may still lose the war.  In fact, it could be we have already lost. But even the aforementioned Book of Revelation’s chapter 13 states in verse 10…. that they who go into captivity, will go, and they that who will be killed, will be killed – and with the corresponding call for the patience and faith of the saints.

Undeniably, history has been kind to the legacies of courageous people who have stood for what they believe. They did so with the hope and faith of knowing history would right itself in time: Even into captivity; even unto death.

Many, if not most, Americans consider twentieth-century civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. as an American hero.  And even though others may claim he was a philandering communist agitator, the words King penned in an April 1963 letter from a jail in Birmingham, Alabama may be pertinent to our time.  The missive was a plea to King’s fellow clergyman, as well as to those who had professed to support the cause of civil rights yet lacked the full measure of commitment which was required to win. 

In what has become known as the “Letter from a Birmingham Jail”, the admonishing tones in King’s appeals are, in my opinion, quite similar with the Apostle Paul’s petitions to the early churches of The New Testament. Perhaps this is not surprising, however, given the fact King actually referenced Paul of Tarsus in the letter.

Here are some excerpts which may have relevance to our current circumstances:

We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.

…..We had no alternative except to prepare for direct action, whereby we would present our very bodies as a means of laying our case before the conscience of the local and the national community.

….Lamentably, it is an historical fact that privileged groups seldom give up their privileges voluntarily…

….We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

….The answer lies in the fact that there are two types of laws: just and unjust. I would be the first to advocate obeying just laws. One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that “an unjust law is no law at all.”

… How does one determine whether a law is just or unjust? A just law is a man made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. To put it in the terms of St. Thomas Aquinas: An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law. Any law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust. All segregation statutes are unjust because segregation distorts the soul and damages the personality. It gives the segregator a false sense of superiority and the segregated a false sense of inferiority.

…consider a more concrete example of just and unjust laws. An unjust law is a code that a numerical or power majority group compels a minority group to obey but does not make binding on itself. This is difference made legal. By the same token, a just law is a code that a majority compels a minority to follow and that it is willing to follow itself.

….time itself is neutral; it can be used either destructively or constructively. More and more I feel that the people of ill will have used time much more effectively than have the people of good will. We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people. Human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability; it comes through the tireless efforts of men willing to be coworkers with God, and without this hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the forces of social stagnation.

I have learned many lessons in my journey from past to future, including these facts:  The desire to control others is, ultimately, rooted in fear. Accordingly, fear is utilized as the means to control others.

The proper response to these precepts, therefore, is to…  fear not.

As some readers may know, I started my blog in the fall of 2016 as a middle-finger flip to the (seemingly then certain) eventuality of President Hillary and her criminal cabal. I did so after being inspired by the courage of the writers throughout the still-unregulated internet.  Although I was initially optimistic regarding Trump, I wrote just nine days after his 2016 election victory that either “constitutionalism, liberty and renewed nationalist vigor” would prevail in our future… or that a new order could arise like a phoenix – but no matter what happened, either way, there would be “no middle ground” between liberty or tyranny.

Since then, over a period of years, I honestly analyzed President Donald Trump as a reality TV show, and two-sides of the same coin, as well as writing article after article speculating on the MAGA movement as the nation’s “bleeding of the brake lines before the big stop”.

But even before Trump was elected, I wrote on sinister powers in high places ceaselessly sowing societal seeds of chaos; and, last year, documented The New Normal’s cult-like initiation with 2020 vision.

So, how were all of those words written in real time with impeccable accuracy? Surely, the articles derived from honest skepticism and curiosity as applied via logic and reason.  But, at the very least, each article was written as the result of a gut feeling. 

Or, perhaps, the pieces were posted pursuant to my perusing the back of the Book.

Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels – men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion. –

Remember the Alamo and 2020

America, Government, Headlines, History, Media, Politics, Reason, Society & Culture

The dust hasn’t settled, but the Left has wasted no time attempting to complete the “fundamental transformation” of America. Unless one has one’s head in the sand, which, regrettably, millions do thanks to a media that has successfully created an alternative reality that they’ve been brainwashed to accept, the slide down the slippery slope to the destruction of the greatest civilization ever known to man has accelerated almost to the point of no return. As we go forth, we must never forget what the Left did to us in 2020.

What we see happening right before our eyes is Evil unleashed. I used to think of the Leftists as whack-a-moles. At least with whack-a-mole the player has a chance at winning. I would now characterize what’s happening as the gates of Hell being opened and its hounds unleashed. The outcome of this war is uncertain. And while I hope and pray that Right and Truth will prevail, the tide is clearly in favor of the Left and Lies.

The Left has been trying to gain complete control of our country for several generations. All the political shenanigans, all the lies and distortions, all the mischaracterizations and outright falsehoods the Left has perpetrated, the cheating, the duplicity, the outright theft…in 2020 all was coordinated to bring about the outcome we are now witnessing: the destruction of America as we know it and its replacement with a Marxist/socialist utopian wet-dream.

“Come on Grumps, don’t you think you’re being a bit shrill and melodramatic,” one might ask?

I don’t think so. As each day goes by a new atrocity is unwrapped. Here it is the end of March, and look at what’s happened. I’m going to assume that readers are already quite aware of all these things, so this is a just a list to summarize what we’ve since inauguration day:

  • The “Biden-Harris” administration directive.
  • Harris speaking to world leaders instead of Biden.
  • 1:15 PM “lids” on Biden’s day routinely.
  • $1.9 Trillion Covid boondoggle handouts to Leftists – only 9% actually for Covid.
  • Biden promised we would never see tax hikes https://nypost.com/2021/03/17/biden-tax-hike-could-hit-people-earning-200k-white-house-says/
  • Keystone Pipeline shut down: skyrocketing gas prices, destroying America’s energy independence
  • Attempt to force $15 minimum wage
  • $3 TRILLION “infrastructure” bill to fund “Green New Deal” on tap
  • Slavery reparations for “systemic racism”
  • Defunding the police
  • Obliviousness to the REAL insurrections in major cities on the part of ANTIFA and BLM
  • The push for single-payer healthcare
  • Making the ‘wealthy’ pay their “fair share”
  • Rampant cancel culture
  • Kowtowing to the teachers’ unions on re-opening the schools
  • Stopping the completion of the Wall – The Crisis at the Mexican Border
  • Prospective elimination of the Filibuster
  • HR-1 to institutionalize fraudulent elections
  • DC Statehood now being debated
  • Students ethnic studies and critical rate theory curricula imposed
  • Dissolution of the 1776 Commission and promotion anew of the 1619 Project
  • Executive order on transgenders in sports and the “Equality Act” abomination
  • Penalties being placed on “climate deniers”
  • Cancel culture: Aunt Jemima, Pepe LePew, Mr. Potato Head, Mark Twain, Dr. Seuss
  • Statues of Washington, Lincoln and Jefferson being destroyed
  • Rejoining the Iran accord
  • Rejoining the Paris Climate Accord
  • Kissing up to the Palestinians again: obsession with the 2-State solution and undermining of the Abraham Accords
  • Putting the U.S. back on its heels versus the Chinese who made fools of Biden’s team in Alaska.
  • The White Supremacy canard.
  • North Korea flexing its muscles again
  • They’re coming for your guns
  • Cancelling Christianity

If this isn’t a tsunami of evil and filth I don’t know what is!

A better summary is provided by Lauri Regan’s article in American Thinker dated March 25, 2021 entitled “What Trump Derangement Syndrome Has Wrought“.

Here’s her conclusion, quoted verbatim:

” So here we are. Unity? Moderation? Not in a Biden-Harris administration that brags about passing the most “progressive bill in American history.” Not in an administration driven by reversing Trump policy no matter how successful while driven by divisiveness, lies, ideology, and power. But Trump’s gone so we have that going for us.  Sadly, the 74 million American voters who didn’t cast ballots for these awful people and policies will pay the price for the vapidity of Americans filled with enough hate and ignorance to elect this garbage.”

“Remember 2020” needs to be the new patriot’s rallying cry!

The Global Domination Meme

America, Government, Headlines, History, Media, Politics, Reason, Uncategorized

The “GDA”/”Global Domination Agenda”, the “New World Order”, the Illuminati, “The Great Reset”, “Democratic Socialism”, “Cultural Marxism”…all refer to theories that at the core posit that there is a cabal of hyper-wealthy oligarchs arm-linked with elite political figures bent on subjugating and controlling humankind. In my opinion, there isn’t an organized cabal bent on “global domination” per se but rather an uncoordinated group of “holier than thou” utopian fantasy nuts believing in a state where we “can all just get along,” where there is no poverty, or illness, rancor, jealousy, crime, competing religion…you get the idea.

Not a global, unified plot on the part of these oligarchs, there is nevertheless a common arrogance that stems from wealth and success that gives people like Gates and Soros, etc. the mistaken notion that they know what’s best for society. Even the modestly-living Buffett is not immune.

With a blend of misguided altruism, (i.e. “if we control everything we can make the world a better place for all”) on one hand and a pre-occupation with power for power’s sake (a psychological state of megalomaniacal socio-pathology) on the other, this SPECTRE-like group (see James Bond) don’t meet in secret so much as rub shoulders at the Bilderberg and Davos meetings and arrive at similar conclusions and adopt similar strategies because of the human disposition towards Groupthink.

These are human beings subject to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, at the top of which is Self-Actualization. Once one has so much money that there is nothing more to buy, self-actualization or self-fulfillment comes from talking about and instigating activities and events that affirm their infinite wisdom. It takes the exercise of power and the delusion that one is smarter than 99.9% of the rest of humanity to feed their egos.

Warped, social-paraplegic geeks like Gates, Zuckerberg, Dorsey and Bezos use the platforms handed to them to preach their nonsensical ideas, ideas that would never apply to them of course, because they are “above all that”. In a wonderful display of one-upmanship, they in a sense compete with one another to see who can “do the most” for the peons.

With this wealth, power and influence the oligarchs naturally adopt/assume/gravitate to the role of benevolent dictator. They learned quickly that to try to convince thinking people of the merit of their idiotic ideas is exhausting. So they rapidly default to simply making pronouncements from on high, paying people off to do their bidding, and summon the press to spew their diktats. It’s easier to command than to convince.

Meanwhile the media: attention-craving, narcissistic spotlight hounds that they are, scrambling to climb the ladder, desperate for recognition good or bad, willing to step on anyone or anything that impedes their rise, take every opportunity to hang out with the oligarchs and political celebrities in hopes their glow will reflect upon them. Anything they can say or do which advances the canon preached by the oligarchs and curry their favor they will do, truth and good be damned. They are the chief enablers of these utopian elites.

In the other, non-business sphere (although they frequently mesh together), under the heading of elite political figures, Hitler, Mussolini, Castro, Gaddafi, Hussein (Saddam, not Barack…) (on second thought…maybe Barack as well – but more on that later)…all are examples of politically/militarily successful demagogues who consciously or unconsciously, effectively or de facto assumed the ‘benevolent dictator’ role.

Today, combining the likes of the Gates, Zuckerberg, Dorsey, Bezos, Soros, etc. crowd with megalomaniacal celebrity politicians like Schumer, Pelosi, Sanders, Trudeau, and of course Harris, and their acolytes/puppet-masters like Susan Rice, makes for toxic soup.

I deliberately leave out Biden because he’s really a non-entity anachronism/placeholder without any real power aspirations – just the desire to make it through another day without keeling over. As an aside, it’s his wife who’s the megalomaniac, just like Michelle.

With the oligarchs and the politicians singing the same tune, here we have both pathologies: utopian fantasy and power mega acting in concert. And the woke sheep, equally needful of ego-food, nod and worship them and their ideas. “Hey, they MUST be right, they’re so rich and/or powerful!“

History teaches that this doesn’t end well. Unfortunately, it takes cataclysmic events like wars and revolutions to unseat these eternally destructive ideas and the demagogues who perpetrate them.

A lot of damage gets done in the meantime. Examples: HR 1 – the bill that would institutionalize voter fraud and guarantee Democrat power retention; the so-called “Equality Act” that would shred any remaining gender definition; the pork-laden $1.9 TRILLION (yes, that’s with a T) COVID Relief bill that is unnecessary but doles out favors to democrat constituencies; the gutting of our energy self-sufficiency in genuflection to the god of environmentalism and THE CANCELLATION OF DR. SEUSS for Pete’s sake!

Right now the cauldron is bubbling…the American people KNOW the train is falling off the track. The flak in the air is so thick it’s impossible to navigate the near future without peril. Secession and armed rebellion are topics seriously being discussed, and the globalist oligarchs and politicians contemplate whether they moved too fast/pushed too hard as they stir their martinis and laugh all the way to the bank.

Everyone is afraid to speak of armed rebellion – it’s not politically correct and a direct affront to the Leftist agenda to suggest it. I can’t even count how may times I hear every day some politician or pundit saying something like “Violence in any form is wrong and cannot be tolerated.” All the while, LEFTIST violence and destruction IS ROUTINELY TOLERATED! Could we be headed to armed rebellion?

Is there are strategic plot to subjugate the world’s population à la George Orwell? I think not, but there’s no doubt the megaphones of wokeism and cancel culture are blaring, the hounds of hell have been unleashed, the cancer of utopian leftism is rapidly metastasizing, and the steamrollers of oppression are belching smoke (at least until they make electric ones) from their exhausts.

If the Left keeps this up, it’s just a matter of time before “the common folk” truly rebel against the sick depravity and evil they’re trying to force upon us.

To the Contrary

America, Economy, Education, Family, Government, Headlines, History, Media, Morality, Politics, Reason, Society & Culture, Technology, Values

Before, during and shortly after the 2020 Election I continued to believe and/or trust that truth would prevail, that fraud would be exposed, that a fair analysis and exposition of what happened would materialize and that the evil Leviathan I call the Left would be halted and defeated. I sincerely thought that this last election would represent the high tide of the Leftist Cabal…that finally, the truly insidious dark forces would be exposed and sent back to Hell where they belong. I now no longer feel so optimistic. To the contrary, I now see the inmates are now running the insane asylum.

For the last several weeks I have been studying all of the reports, essays, commentary, reviews, etc. regarding and surrounding the events beginning with the late winter/early Spring emergence of the Wuhan Virus, the convenient crisis it created, the election and all that has transpired since. It’s clear the Left used every arrow in their quiver to win their battle for control. And you know what? They won this battle!

There are no two ways about it. Disgusting and repulsive as their tactics were, they successfully prosecuted their cause and took over the reins of power in our country.

It has been said that World War III has begun. It has also been said that a secession of Red States or armed/violent rebellion against the Swamp are the only two paths forward barring complete submission to the godless communists (because that’s really what they are).

The cauldron is boiling. I know of NO thinking, patriotic, god-fearing, truth-reveling American who isn’t incensed right now. Unfortunately, no leader has yet emerged to coalesce them into a force able and willing to purge the demons. He or she is out there, and many names are being floated, but he or she has yet to step forward.

I, like many others, have wondered why the military didn’t and hasn’t stepped up to defend the republic. Studying this question and speaking to high-level contacts that I have in Washington, it has become clear that just like the country as a whole, there is a Swamp in the military and, I might add, the law enforcement and Intelligence Communities as well. While the vast majority of the military, law enforcement and intelligence community (MLIC) personnel are supportive of traditional American values, their LEADERSHIP consist almost universally of political swamp creatures interested at least as much if not more in their own advancement and careers as in the interests of our democracy and constitutional republic. The command hierarchy being what it is, the patriotic values and sentiments of the rank and file is suppressed, perhaps even more so than the Main Stream Media and the Democrat Party are able to censor, cancel and suppress that of the majority of the general population (and I still believe we are the majority!).

So the military wasn’t going to intervene on January 6th, or on January 20th, and while there is a lot of mumbling going on, so long as the top (swamp) brass is in command, the MLIC personnel will kowtow to their bosses. As an aside, this notion of “fighting for the man next to you” is just a fallback/excuse for not fighting for “truth, justice and the American Way.” THAT’s what they SHOULD be fighting for! In the absence of principles of freedom and right, however, which are nowadays largely absent from MLIC doctrine, it’s understandable the only thing our fighters have to fight for are the men on either side of them.

Like peeling an onion, as I read deeper into the answers to the question “How could this happen?”, I was reminded of all the history and forces behind this Leftist onslaught. As old as I am, and having spent my formative years overseas and seeing in my travels totalitarianism up front and personal, I have been reminded of the underpinnings. In short, the defeat of communism symbolized by the tearing down of the Berlin Wall, Glasnost, Perestroika, Tiananmen Square, etc. notwithstanding, the Left wasn’t defeated, just defanged momentarily.

I say momentarily because since the 80’s and Reagan’s “Star Wars” initiative bankrupted the Soviet Union, bringing it to its knees, the Alinsky-ites have sought to use more insidious means to infiltrate, poison and take over our institutions resulting in what we have today…a complete infestation of Leftist metastatic cancer in our society. It is embodied in the words and actions of the Leftists, from the globalists typified by George Soros, to the stupid, woke lemmings embodied in so many Gen Z snowflakes. With arrogant hyenas like Obama (behind the scenes), EVERY Democrat, from Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer and the rest of them pulling the strings of all these manipulated, leftist idiots, and thunderously spewing forth their propaganda using the tech megaphone and dominance of the media, the Right will have to adopt an opposing guerilla mentality, strategy and tactics to combat the now entrenched enemy.

When I started this blog going on two years ago, I planned to celebrate the virtues of traditional values, the benefits of a free and open society, etc. I intended to remain apolitical.

Anyone who has followed my essays will plainly see, however, that succumbing to the fact that now EVERYTHING in life and society is political, I’ve morphed into a dedicated resistance fighter who with my remaining years and breaths will do everything and anything I can to reverse the slide down the slippery slope we’re on and prevent the downfall of the greatest civilization, nation and republic the world has ever known. I will speak out boldly from this point forth, until and even after I too am “cancelled” by the hyenas, against the spread of the cancer. I will do what I can to kill, yes, kill the cancer that is Leftist, totalitarian and tyrannical ideology and resist…RESIST (!) the attempts to take away more of my freedom and that of my family and friends.

As much as the Left subscribes to moral relativism, in my book, some things are simply morally RIGHT and some things are morally WRONG!

I choose the Right.  

Bizarro

America, Education, Government, History, Media, Morality, Politics, Reason, Society & Culture, Values

You will recall the alter-ego of Superman. Bizarro was the exact opposite of him in every way. Kinda like Trump vs. Biden. And we have now entered a Bizarro-world, where everything is turned upside down. What has transpired on and since last November 3rd has been astonishing and soul-crushing. That the Left could actually pull off what they did says with unequivocal clarity how invasive their infectious cancer has been to all our institutions, not to mention the millions of feeble-minded lemmings who voted for Biden and the two idiots who have become Senators in Georgia.

Much has been said and written in the ensuing days about what happened. Much analysis has been undertaken of how it happened, and now the rhetoric is turning to speculation and strategy as to how things might unfold and/or how the forces of Good can regroup to fight this Evil once again.

And make no mistake. The Left’s ideology IS evil. Taking away freedom is evil. Lording over a people through coercion and intimidation is evil. Obfuscating truth and denigrating Right principles is evil. Cancelling anyone who espouses much less openly advocates traditional principles of Right and Wrong is evil. Doxing people who stand up for Right is evil. Ignoring blatant manifestations of anarchy is Evil. Destroying and rewriting history is Evil. Brainwashing our children is Evil.

As usual, others have stated things much better than I. Today I quote from some of the smartest, most articulate minds extant. For example:

“The old word “science” comes from a Latin word meaning “to know.” The new word “technology” comes from a Greek word meaning “to make.” The transition from traditional to modern science means that we are not so much seeking to know when we study natures as seeking to make things – and ultimately, to remake nature itself. That spirit of making remaking nature – including human nature – greatly emboldens both human beings and governments, Imbued with that spirit, and employing the tools of modern science, totalitarianism is a form of government that reaches farther than tyranny and attempts to control the totality of things.” Larry P. Arnn, President of Hillsdale College in Imprimis December 2020 Volume 49, Number 12, “Orwell’s 1984 and Today“

“…control the totality of things.” Sounds like “The Internet of Things”. Sounds like the invasive and pervasive creep of technology into our lives.

“Totalitarianism will never win in the end – but it can win long enough to destroy a civilization. That is what is at stake in the fight we are in. We can see today the totalitarian impulse among powerful forces in our politics and culture. We can see it in the rise and imposition of doublethink, and we can see it in the increasing attempt to rewrite history.” Ibid.

“Those of us who are over 35 or so years of age grew up in a different America. We were taught, very directly, what it means to be an American. And we absorbed, almost in the air, a love of country and an appreciation of its institutions. If you didn’t get these things from your family you got them from the neighborhood, from the father down the street who fought in Korea or the family who lost someone at Anzio. Or you could get a sense of patriotism from school. And if all else failed you could get a sense of patriotism from the popular culture. The movies celebrated democratic values and implicitly reinforced the idea that America was special. TV was like that, too, through the mid-sixties.

But now, we’re about to enter the [1990s], and some things have changed. Younger parents aren’t sure that an unambivalent appreciation of America is the right thing to teach modern children. And as for those who create the popular culture, well-grounded patriotism is no longer the style. . . . We’ve got to do a better job of getting across that America is freedom—freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of enterprise. And freedom is special and rare. It’s fragile; it needs protection.

So, we’ve got to teach history based not on what’s in fashion but what’s important—why the Pilgrims came here, who Jimmy Doolittle was, and what those 30 seconds over Tokyo meant. You know, four years ago on the 40th anniversary of D-Day, I read a letter from a young woman writing to her late father, who’d fought on Omaha Beach. . . . [S]he said, “we will always remember, we will never forget what the boys of Normandy did.” Well, let’s help her keep her word. If we forget what we did, we won’t know who we are. I’m warning of an eradication of the American memory that could result, ultimately, in an erosion of the American spirit.” Ronald Reagan, ibid.

Right before our very eyes. As we sip our coffee this morning. As we dutifully dress and get ready for work. As we make our way to our jobs (or the dining room table if that’s our office these days…) let us not be complacent about what has and is transpiring. We are at war. Some have argued that there are only two paths forward: secession on the part of people and states that wish to preserve traditional America, or a bloody revolution.

I still have hope that a peaceful push of the pendulum back towards the Right can occur. It will have to be fought in the minds and on the heart strings of the people. It will require NEW leadership. Trump stood up to the cancer and began the process of killing it. Now, others with greater and even more attractive and popular leadership skills must come forth to inspire us and make it “cool” again to be traditional and righteous. Kind of like a Jack Bauer without the flaws. Kind of like a Ronald Reagan for our times (Reagan couldn’t get elected today), one who is a different kind of “woke” and can reach the addled minds of Gen Z and everyone in between them and the Boomers.

We will probably have to replicate the internet backbone or find some way to exploit the Dark Web and Deep Web to create a whole new communication, financial and commerce system to “cancel” the stranglehold of the current tech oligarchs and their political adherents, but it can be done. We will have to band together in new ways to pursue not the utopian fantasy but, tragically, basic freedom. That might require an accelerated migration (it’s already happening…just look at the influx of people to South Dakota!) and a sort of natural secession away from Leftist Blue Strongholds to places where traditional principles can be practiced. And it may see the further wretched demise of the Leftist dominated big cities which will continue to decay and rot, ultimately becoming the cesspools that are already threatening.

But, and this may take some years, things will shake out. The Left will run full tilt into reality, or Armageddon will arrive, but things will never be the same again.

Sounds kind of dreary, but because people on the Right are traditionally independent individuals as opposed to lemming-collectivists on the Left, it takes us time to arrive at consensus, but when we do…we will galvanize and organize to beat back the Evil that befalls us.

Hang in there, and prepare.

Moving Forward Without Moving On

America, Education, Government, Headlines, Media, Morality, Politics, Reason, Religion, Society & Culture, Technology, Values

Many of us are so angry at what has transpired not just in the election, but to our country altogether, that we either quietly or loudly talk about revolution, rebellion, armed insurrection, etc. Many have bought guns, are hoarding ammunition, and above and below ground organizations are springing up discussing what to do about the raping of our country by the Leftist, woke mob.  

Others are complacent, waiting for either the MOAB (the Mother of All Bombs) to drop or some event or action that will save us from this madness.

It’s January 1, 2021. The cavalry may not come, the Senate could fall into Democrat hands, Biden and Harris might actually be inaugurated on January 20th, and America will have not just descended all the way to the bottom of the slippery slope, but have replicated the scene at the bottom of Mt. Sinai when Moses came down with the tablets. The whooping and hollering, the recklessness, the profligacy and debauchery will overshadow the anguish those of us who believe in a traditional America will feel.

I used to think the Silent Majority would speak up and speak out, and believed the majority, albeit a small one, of Americans would reject the stupidity of the Left. I now fear that the dumbing down of two generations behind me, their surrender to peer pressure of social media and the perversion of the “knowledge” that was placed in their heads by too many of the recycled hippie teachers of MY generation, i.e. the brainwashing, has finally caught up with us. The levers of power in all our institutions are now in the hands of the base-of-Mt.Sinai misfits.

What can we do about this? I’ve been wrestling with this question for months as Leftist forces seem to have grown in size and power and the influence of the Right waned.

First, we must not concede defeat. Even if traditionalists are now a minority in our nation, we know our values are right and just and must stick up for them, set an example using them, have courage to defend them in the face of ridicule, condescension, belittlement.

Second, we must not let disappointment and sadness give way to despair. We must become happy rebels. Think of the hedgehog in cartoons that gets slapped hard and is sent flying across the room. He rolls into a ball, comes to a stop and  then with a grin stands up ready to fight again. We’ve got to learn to derive meaning and contentment by fighting back against evil. We must band together under the banners and slogans we all know: “Don’t tread on me”, “We have nothing to fear but fear itself”, “Never give up. Never, never give up”, “The colors of our flag don’t run”, “Land of the Free, Home of the Brave”, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction”, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing” and on and on.

Third, we must get fit physically. We need to shed the Covid pounds. We need to MOVE – even if we’re working from home, we need to force ourselves to get out of our chairs regularly and exercise. Just stretching and walking is helpful. We need to make physical activity a habit, not a chore.

Fourth, we must get fit morally. We have to practice Good (a.k.a. righteous) Principles that we know but have allowed to atrophy, starting with the Golden Rule. In our confinement we’ve gotten testy, short, frustrated, easily annoyed. We need to do unto others, starting with our own families, as we would like them to do unto us. And we need to consciously avoid the barrage of “trending” garbage coming at us from social media, television, Hollywood. We need to honor each other, be true and faithful to one another, seek to find the good in others instead of needing to find fault (tough task here!)

Fifth, we must restore faith. Whether we believe in God or not, we must recommit to believe in the principles of the Judeo-Christian tradition…the principles that have ALWAYS, IN ALL TIMES and ALL GENERATIONS, helped mankind to grow and prosper: Freedom, the tenets enshrined in the Ten Commandments, the right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, belief in the dignity of Human Life, the Work Ethic, Meritocracy, common Decency, Self-reliance, Accountability, Kindness and Charity. If we have faith, we need to make it a habit to return to our houses of worship as soon as possible, to gather with others of like mind in fellowship. There is strength in numbers.

Sixth, we need to feed our souls with GOOD food. Uplifting literature, music, film, web destinations. There are many. I’ll devote another post to some we can rely on for inspiration, motivation and positive reinforcement of our principles.

Seventh, we have to keep our eyes and ears open and listen for the call to resist when and where needed. I’m not talking about armed rebellion. As angry as we are, we must stay under control, not give in, not give up, but not lose our cool. We need to “stay frosty” as the special forces and good guys would say.

So, no easy road ahead. But let’s breathe in, breathe out, stiffen our spines, do what’s right and even if we never get this mess turned around and aren’t able to climb out of the hole we’re in and back up the slippery slope, recognize that a journey of striving to promote Good, and Right and Truth will be a meaningful and gratifying one.

Stalwart, Steadfast

America, Government, Media, Politics, Society & Culture, Uncategorized, Values

It’s December 7th, the anniversary of Pearl Harbor, and as each day goes by the evidence of election fraud keeps growing and the flak meant to obscure the truth gets thicker. Turn on the vast majority of ‘news’ programs and it’s all about what ‘President-Elect” Biden will do in his first term. “It’s a done deal, stick a fork in it, Trump and the 70+ million who voted for him are just whining, sore losers.” “The people have spoken, Biden will be inaugurated in January.”

To all that I throw the BS flag down on the field and remain steadfast in the following:

a) the election was flawed from the start;

b) There was a deliberate exploitation by the Democrats of the security loopholes to manufacture fraudulent vote totals for Biden,

c) This is still 2020. That means expect the unexpected, and

d) I will not concede this election until Trump does and/or the Supreme Court rules that it’s over.

As Alinsky preached and Cloward and Piven extrapolated, the way to “fundamentally transform” America is to “overwhelm the system”…create so much chaos that the people give up fighting and look to the government to “save” them. Sound kinda like what we see today?

Except these three radicals fundamentally underestimated the Good in the majority of Americans who believe in freedom, self-determination, fairness, truth and other traditional principles that are the underpinning of this great land! Americans who cherish these things will hold the line and defend them against the writhing Evil that is, desperately trying to consume the Good.

The cheating, fraud and manipulation of the vote was so widespread across the country, and particularly in the corrupt strongholds in various key cities, that it threatens to overwhelm the legal, political and societal outcry that is pushing back.Our system of justice has been so weaponized and become so complex and ambiguous that the Democrats seem to be able to swat the challenges aside like flies.

Which of the state legislatures has enough courage to stand and assert power over the appointment of or withholding of electors? Which judges have the moral courage and conviction to call time out on this cataclysmic and monumental travesty of an election? Do 5 or 6 justices of SCOTUS have the wisdom and strength to halt the insanity and right this ship before it goes under? Will we look back at this moment as the moment the forces of Evil overran the Good, or the moment when the Evil onslaught was halted in its tracks and Good prevailed? THIS TRULY IS A TIPPING POINT for our country and western civilization.

The war ebbs and flows, but Truth, Right and Good will ultimately prevail over the Cabal that is so against them.

May the clarion call for truth and freedom remain loud, clear and unwavering and may God bless our nation, our leaders and our institutions to do what is Right!

Goodbye Wall Street Journal

America, Economy, Headlines, Media, Society & Culture, Values

I’ve been a Wall Street Journal subscriber for over fifty (!) years. Today I cancelled my subscription. The paper has been exhibiting increasing left-wing bias for some time now, and today a straw broke the camel’s back. It was a headline that appeared on my iPhone something to the effect of, “Trump moves ahead with transition to Biden after weeks of delay.”

It was that gratuitous, sniveling, “after weeks of delay” that really angered me. Not only was the WSJ among the first to start calling Biden the President Elect, but the editorial content and articles it has published concerning the election have virtually all capitulated to the Leftist, “woke” script. I can’t take it anymore.

The Journal used to be a voice of conservatism and while I understand that the Trump phenomenon has undermined the traditional support of corporate and financial America for the Republican Party, never would I have suspected that the WSJ would abandon the vast Silent Majority in an attempt to keep in the good graces of big business.

Here’s where the GOP rift now occurs. It’s big business against the upper middle, middle and working-modest-means population, what I will call America Firsters , a HUGE swath of our country! The WSJ is betting that it can ignore them while genuflecting in front of the multinational corporations.

I know something about this. I was a multinational and merchant banker for many years. While American based multinational banks and corporations started out as AMERICAN companies stretching their business models abroad, they have become something else. They have become TRANSNATIONAL businesses, with their focus almost exclusively on the top and bottom lines.

The Wall Street Journal has followed suit.

I support big business. Without it we would never have the defense and energy capabilities we now have. But Big Tech, and Big Pharma, and Big Banking…sorry, but you’ve lost me.

I will from this point forth be getting my financial news and data from other sources: the less they are tied to Big (aka Fake News) Media and the more independent they are, the better. These include Newsmax, One America News, Zero Hedge and direct market quotes form the exchanges. I’ll still listen, for the moment, to Maria Bartiromo, Stu Varney, Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity, but whether I continue to do so remains to be seen.

May God bless America!

More On the Coronavirus Hoax

Government, Health Care, Media

From one of our readers regarding the comments by Canadian Dr. Roger Hodkinson stating COVID-19 is the “Greatest hoax every perpetuated on an unsuspecting public.“

“Perfect example of the “silent majority” position. Funny enough, we’re not silent because we want to be anymore, we’re silent b/c we’re censored, shamed by (I like the term he used) virtue signaling, and (frankly) bullying. Intelligent people know damn well that if you buck and the left targets you – you can lose your credibility, your livelihood, your freedom and it’s extremely tough to put that at risk. The media has become the Leftist’s version of the Gestapo. You didn’t “Heil Hitler” you were suspect and could be thrown in jail or worse. You don’t wear a mask…well, how far are we from being tossed in a cell for that? And that’s just one example…

Yet, right-thinking, logical people are the “fascists”.

Dan Crenshaw is calling and he’d like me to apply for Texas residency. Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott are recruiting me too.”

Count Me Among the Stawarts

America, Education, Family, Government, Headlines, Health Care, Media, Morality, Politics, Society & Culture

None, and I mean none of the cable or broadcast news media question the outcome of the election anymore. “President Elect Joe Biden continues to forge ahead with plans for his cabinet despite unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud by Trump,” is typical of the banter one hears. The tsunami of fait accompli saturating the airwaves drowns out the 70 plus million of us who are seeing with our own eyes the affidavits alleging fraud and the investigative reporting that provides further evidence of Leftist malfeasance. Add to them our intuition that there’s no way that the weak, demented and corrupt Joe Biden received 78 million legitimate votes, more than Hillary Clinton and more than any candidate in history! And finally, don’t try to convince me that Joe Biden “ran away with the election” when the down ballot results showing wins in highly competitive races and gains in the House and state legislatures were all in the Republicans’ favor.

I’ve said before, here and on Parler, that I will not concede or accept Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as the President and Vice-President elect until either the House says so in a contingent election, the Supreme Court decides by rule of law, or Trump himself concedes.

So count me among the stalwarts who don’t believe the election “results” and hope, pray and in my gut believe that Trump did indeed win in a landslide only to have been declared the loser by a corrupt media and due to fraudulent voting, and that either the courts or state legislatures will do the right thing and ensure the true winner is inaugurated in January.

Count me among the citizens of this country who welcomed the reversals of Obama/Biden-era regulations, weakness, capitulation to adversaries and attempts to “fundamentally transform” our nation, and among those who, despite unease and sometimes even revulsion at Trump’s style and methods, believed and still believe his actions vastly improved our country and set us on a course back to the top of the hill and peace and prosperity for all.

Count me among those who do NOT believe there is systemic racism in our country and who are infuriated by the rioting and looting and desecration we see in our cities, as well as the physical assaults with impunity on those who support Trump.

And count me among those skeptics who look at the coronavirus data and see how it has been manipulated and exploited to achieve political ends, and among those who are sickened by the tyrannical, short-sighted diktats of state and local despots hypocritically imposing lockdowns and mask-wearing to the destruction of so many businesses and livelihoods and the detriment of our school children and their families.

Count me among those who are not so stupid as to think that if all 300 million or so guns in the United States were taken off the streets tomorrow, there would be no more gun violence. Common sense tells us that within a few days there would be hundreds if not thousands of guns back on the streets, in the hands of criminals.

Count me among those who have turned off professional sports because of its genuflection to “wokeness”. What a load of horse you know what!

Count me among those who want smaller, not larger government and who want lower, not higher taxes.

Count me among those who have seen the good our country has done around the world and who stand at attention with their hands over their hearts when the flag goes by or ‘Taps’ are played.

Count me among those who believe in God, that there is good and evil in the world, and who choose to try to do the former and eschew the latter.

And finally, count me among those who pray He will bless us in our endeavor to fight against and eradicate evil and gain back our rapidly eroding freedom.
