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.

Endgame

America, Government, Headlines, Politics, Values

So, the Electoral College submitted their votes, and even Newsmax reluctantly dubbed Biden “President Elect”, but seven states also registered competing votes!

I will never accept that the American People selected a bumbling, demented, hyper-corrupt puppet spewing nothing but carefully crafted verbal diarrhea as its leader. President Trump must use every legal power he has to arrest this national travesty of an election and ensure Biden, and more accurately, Harris, never take office. I for one will support him because our constitutional republic teeters in the balance.

Where do we go from here?

The tsunami of, frankly, unadulterated nonsense that it’s all over, Biden won and we need to “move on” seems overwhelming. What’s been interesting to see is who continues to fight for the truth and the proper result to this election, and who has capitulated to the Leftist mob. So many Republicans have given up… they represent the professional political class worried only about their own skins. “Live to fight another day” is their cry!

To that I throw the BS flag! They’re cowards, weaklings and deserve to be thrown off the field of battle for their treason. How ANY self-respecting, elected GOP legislator or executive could let this travesty of an election stand disgusts me.

But I digress. As I have stated numerous times, I will not concede unless Trump does. I earlier said I’d concede if the Supreme Court rules Biden won, but they haven’t. They’ve used procedural arguments to absolve themselves of responsibility for this fiasco. From what little I know of jurisprudence, the door is still very much open to the right case brought before them, but so far it appears the only way this debacle will be rectified is with some pretty dramatic action on Trump’s part: the invocation of his 2018 Executive Order, the rejection of the Electoral College vote count on January 5th, or the ignoring of the fallacious Democrat electoral votes when they are read by Vice President Pence.

This situation is so dire, and the Democrats’ deceit, fraud and felonies so egregious, I hope the boom gets lowered on these despicable, megalomaniacal oxygen wasters!

And that just might happen!

I have not given up and will fight, with words and as much influence as I can wield, till it’s over.

And it ain’t over!

Stalwart, Steadfast

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!

Is Your Seatbelt Still Fastened?

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

It’s the Monday after Thanksgiving. As many predicted, since November 4th what we’ve seen is a S#$% Show. I have been glued to my go-to channels trying to decipher every move being made by the adversaries in what I believe amounts to a battle for the soul of our nation.

Things are moving so fast and are so confusing it’s difficult to keep up. Take for example what happened in Georgia yesterday. Learning that election officials planned to wipe the November 3rd election data from the voting machines Team Trump filed for an emergency injunction in Federal Court to stop what would have amounted to destruction of evidence. The judge granted the injunction. The Leftist defendants went into action and within a couple of hours the judge reversed his decision on a technicality. The Parler-sphere (what used to be the Twitter-sphere) exploded crying “foul”! Late last night the judge reversed again, slapping the injunction back on. Can you imagine the frenzy of lawyers crowded around the bench in the courtroom arguing this? AND THIS IS JUST ONE STATE!

I don’t really know where this is going to end up. I said months ago that the Democrats’ strategy was to create chaos and run out the clock. That’s precisely what they did in what in retrospect looks like a truly spy-novel-worthy way. In my head and heart I cannot nor will I ever believe that Joe Biden won the election. As jubilant as the Left is that he did, I don’t even think THEY believe it, even less perhaps than we did when Trump won in 2016!

Proving Trump won and Biden lost, or at least reaching the Supreme Court with evidence that the whole election was sufficiently tainted that a so-called “contingent election” is absolutely necessary (see Article 2, Section 1 and the 12th Amendment) is a legal and political cat and mouse game played in a labyrinth. If the State legislatures don’t step up sufficiently to represent the people’s true wishes, I hope and pray SCOTUS will look beyond deadline dates and technicalities to save our nation from what would be the greatest debacle and injustice ever perpetrated on the American people.

Yesterday, I penned a letter to the Supreme Court Justices that I published on Parler. It summarizes where I am at this point.

Dear SCOTUS Justices,

The vast majority of Americans know the Nov 3rd election was fraught with irregularities and violations of state and federal statutes at least, and at worst, unprecedented fraud. We are at a huge disadvantage trying to ferret out the truth of who honestly won the election. We want justice but are ill-equipped to seek and obtain it given the complexities of our judicial system. Justice would consist of a transparent and honest audit of the results, or if that is impossible, proceeding forth with a contingent election per Article Two, Section 1, clause 3 and the 12th Amendment. Either can only happen if YOU decide they can.

Please search your hearts and minds, setting aside all legal technicalities, as to what is best for our nation. As our third branch of government, we implore you to take it upon yourselves to do what is right for our country.

Sincerely and with respect,

Grumps & The American People

Count Me Among the Stawarts

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.

Drama Drama Drama

America, Government, Headlines, Politics

Have you noticed how low a profile President Trump is keeping, letting his lawyers and surrogates do the talking? He must be champing at the bit to get in front of the cameras and speak his mind! The fact that he isn’t to me screams that there is something very interesting going on behind the scenes. Setting aside all the posturing and incendiary headlines, my suspicion is that the Trump team is executing a strategy that is seeking to not just ensure he wins this election, but at the same time sets up the Left for a crippling and hopefully fatal defeat at all levels of government and society.

Kayleigh McEnany’s cryptic comment yesterday to the effect that Americans will hear from Trump “at the right moment”, also suggests that something is afoot. As we all know, often it’s what is not happening or being said that speaks louder than what is.

A weary friend asked me the other day, “What’s the strategy?” I have no inside information, but my reasoning is that first, the affidavits of eye-witnesses to the fraud will be collected, sworn, assembled and readied for presentation to the courts. These include affidavits of cyber-forensic experts regarding the biggest potential source of fraud, the voting machine software itself. While the Leftist media whines over and over again, “There’s no evidence of fraud,” this effort to collect the statements of eyewitnesses and affidavits is, by definition, evidence, and actionable in court! Next, presenting this evidence to the courts will trigger stays of the count, canvassing and certification processes. If not, they will be appealed while further evidence is collected.

This strategy is already working. The Pennsylvania judge who ruled that state officials exceeded their authority by extending the deadline for voters to cure their ballots by providing proof of identification was just one tiny step in a series of steps that must be taken to win the fight incrementally. Justice Alito’s order to segregate ballots in PA arriving after election day was another example.

Is there enough time? I’m no expert, but I believe there is so long as there are judges who can be awakened at night for injunctions. Can it reach the Supreme Court? I believe the step by step approach can and will be used until the time frame for action gets so small that an emergency hearing at the Court is available. God willing and the river don’t rise, the justices will say, “Hold on, there’s enough going on here we’d better look at this,” and stop everything so things can be sorted out. If the elector certifications get delayed, or the legislatures have to step in and override the contested election results to appoint the electors (see Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution), there’s a better than even probability, in my opinion, that Trump will prevail. Will the battle escalate further? Will the vilification increase to unbelievable proportions? Will threats and screams and potentially even violence ensue? Yes, but if this results in an outcome that reflects the LEGAL vote and thus the will of the people, it’ll be worth it.

Now that the number of eyewitnesses and sworn affidavits has become so large, the Left’s talking point is, “Well, it’s not widespread.” And just this morning there’s a new one, spoken by some obnoxious, belligerent & arrogant Democrat talking-head on Maria Bartiromo’s program, “The courts are rejecting Trump’s claims of fraud,” to which Maria threw the BS flag and with confidence and poise said, “That’s simply not true.” I can’t find a link to this exchange yet, but it was exemplary of the nonsense, histrionics and theater being perpetrated by the Left. The body language, shrillness of voice and faux-confidence of Maria’s guest reeked of insecurity!

Contrast this with Greg Jarrett’s cautious and measured analysis, a sampling available here. Or if you want a truly uplifting and combative while compelling argument, listen to an interview of Lin Wood by Howie Carr on Newsmax available here. Start listening to the recording at the 22 minute mark and I promise it’ll be time worth spent! Lin Wood, by the way, is an attorney working on the election fraud cases in Georgia. He’s also the lawyer defending Kyle Rittenhouse, the kid who shot those guys in Kenosha in self defense. I don’t know how much credence to place in his comments, but I hope and pray he’s right.

Finally, in his thoughtful and hopeful article on RedState entitled “If Anyone Can Win This Monumental Election Challenge, It’s Donald Trump” T. LaDuke concludes,

“This is the biggest test that Donald Trump — or any candidate for President — will have ever faced and it is one that looks somewhat insurmountable. I’m quite certain that any other GOP candidate for President would have already thrown in the towel to receive the accolades from the left on what a good boy they were. Donald Trump is not that type of person and I know that if anyone in the political world can do this it is the 45th President of the United States. I learned my lesson four years ago. This guy beats the odds and you should never bet against him.”

I’ve used the word “tsunami” many times as a sort of overstatement to describe the forces arrayed against Trump. Now, at this moment, it truly is apt and perhaps even an understatement. Do a search worded any way you like on the status of this election and you will be bombarded with the most intense gaslighting ever produced. “Done deal!” “Futile Attempt!” “Insurmountable Odds!” “Failed Challenges!” “Backlash Against Trump!” “Wild Theory!” and on and on blare the headlines.

As I’ve said before, if Trump loses in the courts, all the way up to the Supreme Court, I’ll accept the defeat. If he concedes, I’ll accept the defeat. But as long as he continues to fight, I’ll continue fighting as well!

REMAIN STEADFAST!

America, Government, Headlines, Politics

Right about now the resolve of a whole lot of people who voted for Trump and GOP down- ballot candidates is waning. The propaganda bombardment to the effect that “Biden won” is starting to take its toll. Even pro Trump websites, pundits and journals are repeating the “President Elect” phrase albeit some with the caveat “if that’s how it turns out”. Repeating it at all, I submit, nonetheless contributes to the saturation. As far as I’m concerned, the title “Corrupt, Professional Politician Candidate with no Achievement, Cognitive Decline and Plainly Visible Marionette Attachment Points” is a more apt title. DON’T LET THE BASTARDS GET YOU DOWN!

What will be will be.

If, as we hope, Trump emerges victorious and we’re able to further expose the Leftist cabal and agenda and what it tried to do in this election and over the last four years, then let’s “trust but verify” everything and everyone who claims to be on the Rght side and let’s not take off our “No More Mister Nice Guy” and MAGAA hats. Let’s continue to clean out the Swamp. Let’s advance the America First, patriotic, capitalist agenda and continue our slog up the slippery slope we’ve been headed down on for the past 50 years!

If, heaven forbid, we ascertain that Biden legitimately won, Trump concedes and Biden DOES become the President elect, let’s think about what an honest resistance looks and sounds like. The amount of damage Biden will do with Executive Orders, the reversal of so many good things instituted by the Trump administration, and the ceding of control to a truly radical, dangerous and anti-american element in his party will cause many of us to flirt with the concept of armed rebellion! (For the record, I’m NOT advocating this!) But we have to resist descending into the muck where bottom feeders like Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Nadler and the like, and idiot-fools like Harris, Ocasio-Cortez, Warren, and Sanders dwell, and we have to mount a counteroffensive to the cancer wrought by Big Tech and social media. We need to actively purge our educational system of the Leftist rot polluting our children’s minds…we’re seeing it now as we look over their shoulders on their school tablets.

It’s apparent to me that many of those who voted for Biden have the attention span of a gnat, are influenced not by facts and rational thinking but by sound bites and memes and heart-string pulls, appropriate music background and carefully selected, photo-shopped and edited visual aids. They are almost without exception gullible, indolent, self-absorbed, myopic and delusional people without patience and with selective memory. Or, they’re flat out arrogant, hyper-hypocritical, megalomaniacal, power-hungry totalitarians to whom the rules don’t apply and who are largely unaffected by what goes on in Washington or the halls of their state capitols.

PLEASE RESIST THE LEFTIST PROPAGANDA TSUNAMI !

What Now

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

“It ain’t over till it’s over”. The fireworks and dancing on stage in front of a handful of people after Biden was “projected” to have won the election was meant to create the perception that it’s a fait accompli. The grossly premature announcements by the Biden camp of how he will assemble a COVID task force on Monday, in other words, “get right to work” to be the President of All America is meant to serve the same purpose. Virtually everything saturating the air is just another ploy to demoralize, beat and steamroll us into submission. Difficult as it may be, ignore it!

Like I said, I’m not conceding anything until Trump does. While I am sick to my stomach about how the media, including Fox, are behaving as if this is a fait accompli, I try not to pay attention to them and continue to pray, hope and argue that ultimately the Supreme Court will be called upon to settle the matter, or the House, using the rule one-state-one-vote. If the former, I’ll accept what a conservative majority Court decides. If the latter, Trump will win because red states outnumber blue states.

In my opinion, the only thing the Trump campaign is doing wrong is putting Giuliani and some of these other known commodities out front on this. We need a new spokesman, one respected (at least nominally) by both sides, one who is beyond reproach. Maybe a Jonathan Turley? David Boise also comes to mind. There may be someone better but whomever they pick, part of the strategy needs to be winning the public relations battle, and we need a fresh face to expose the fraud, conduct the recounts and audits and/or lead the petition for a redo of the election. It ain’t over yet, but the Left, including all of its components, are trying to ram this thing down our throats, and I and I’m sure countless others are not buying what they’re selling. I hope the Trump team isn’t either and in addition to the legal efforts, start to counter with statements like the one yesterday:

“We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth to be exposed. The simple fact is this election is far from over. Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor. In Pennsylvania, for example, our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access to watch the counting process.  Legal votes decide who is president, not the news media.

“Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated. The American People are entitled to an honest election: that means counting all legal ballots, and not counting any illegal ballots. This is the only way to ensure the public has full confidence in our election. It remains shocking that the Biden campaign refuses to agree with this basic principle and wants ballots counted even if they are fraudulent, manufactured, or cast by ineligible or deceased voters. Only a party engaged in wrongdoing would unlawfully keep observers out of the count room – and then fight in court to block their access. 

“So what is Biden hiding? I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands.”

– President Donald J. Trump”

If we can put forth such a spokesman and Trump can stay disciplined long enough to listen to his advisors and not step on his own tongue, letting the legal beagles do their thing, there’s a strong possibility the truth will come out and if, as I believe and 70 million of our fellow citizens also believe, that when all the legal ballots are counted and the illegal ones rejected Trump won, we’ll have our answer. If after exhausting all remedies Trump has lost, he’ll concede, as graciously as Trump can, as will I, and we’ll move to our own honest (not manifestly dishonest) “resistance” against the new administration.

In either case, I from this day forth will be trying hard to figure out how to hold the media and their institutional accomplices accountable for their supreme dishonesty and lack of integrity. For starters, I personally already left social media (except for Parler) long ago, including: Facebook, Twitter and Linked In, have changed my browser to Firefox and my default search engine to BING from Google. In the coming days I will be doing everything I can to wean off Gmail. Microsoft, while still Left biased, for the moment still seems to be less so than Google. I will also be exploring ways to reduce my reliance on the internet and cable tv for information. For the moment, I still monitor Twitter using the ‘handle’ @GrumpsReport and occasionally “tweet” but I can only take it in very small doses.

I have also started to study the laws surrounding elections in general: local, state and federal to see what can be done with fighting on in THIS election, as well as joining the groundswell of those who will demand our election process be reformed. For starters, I recommend perusing the website: https://ballotpedia.org. It seems to have the least biased reporting on the election and sections on what happens in the future depending on how each domino falls. It also discusses how a REDO petition could be mounted.

Finally, I will continue to speak out on GrumpsReport. Since starting the blog last year, the number of visitors and readership has grown steadily, without any promotion. Judging from the feedback I’ve received, I hope it continues to have a positive impact and contributes something useful to the discourse.

As I’ve been saying for months, barring fraud, Trump would win in a landslide. I stand by that statement. I have to. That half of our voting public could either: a) support Biden and all that his candidacy represented or b) hate Trump so much, is distressing and saddening. If he wins, it will be because the American people will have successfully pushed back an unprecedented onslaught from the Leftist foes and addled, somnolent or deluded lemmings arrayed against us.  If he loses, I for one will ache for what could have been, Trump will have helped stall and reverse our descent down the slippery slope and the America First movement will continue, perhaps more galvanized than ever.

This country was built on traditional values of right and wrong and above-all, freedom. Occasionally, over the years, through self-examination, we corrected wrongs, injustices and mistakes, but it has still done more to lift more people up throughout the world than any other nation in history. It has been grievously wounded by all that has occurred in recent decades, including this disgrace of an election, but it will heal again.

I’ve been saying for some time that the Left will go down in ignominious defeat tomorrow and I stand by that prediction. The American people have had enough of their petulance and histrionics. Social media makes it seem as if the Left represents more of our country than it actually does. Like the screaming and foot-stomping toddler or the obnoxious, rebellious adolescent, the Left begs for attention and ego food.

Have you watched Joe Biden and Kamala Harris at all? Biden is trying to overcome his lack of stamina, energy and mental acuity by yelling, no practically SCREAMING (.sic!) at the cameras in front of him. Wow he’s angry! If that isn’t a reflection of insecurity and resignation I don’t know what is! And Harris’ affected, cackling laugh psychologists will tell you is also a coping method for insecurity and a lack of conviction. That’s not just leading from behind. That’s leading from the behind!

What will the Trump win mean? I believe it will be a final repudiation of the nonsense and drivel that has been coming out of the mouths of the Left for years. It will be nothing less than a MANDATE to reclaim the traditional values and principles upon which this country was founded and built. It will represent the bottom of the slippery slope…the depths to which the Left have dragged us, and the beginning of the long, tough and fraught-with-obstacles climb back up.

For the Left will not die…the main stream media will see to that. They will weep, wail and gnash their teeth, crying foul, repeating their calls for “resistance”. Slowly, but surely, however, when their advertising revenues dwindle to nothing and their wealthy donors decide to stem their losses and start backing the winners, the MSM will retire their puerile talking heads and replace them first, with moderate voices, then patriotic voices as they desperately try to restore their revenues and profits.

We’ve had to endure sharp vicissitudes over the last 100 years: the Great Depression, the encroachment of the government in every aspect of our lives that began with the New Deal, two world wars, fallout from the Civil Rights movement, Watergate, the advent of public sector unions and the impact that had on education and the explosion of the regulatory bureaucracy, the Space Race, the Vietnam War, Rubik’s Cubes and Pacman, Watergate, the Beatles, the Lewinsky affair, 9-11 and the biggest tipping point of all…the advent of the World Wide Web and social media.

What now does this election portend? A new era of stability and prosperity, of peace and self-reliance, an extinguishing of the Leftist flames of hate, violence, division, class warfare, godlessness, nanny-statism, socialist absurdity and globalism…in short, a restoration of Freedom and meritocracy, of TRADITIONALISM!

A “Dark Winter”?? No…

A NEW, BRIGHT DAWN!
