Others Will Say It Better Than I can…

Headlines, Morality, Politics, Reason, Society & Culture, Values

but I just have to throw my two cents in regarding Biden’s speech last night. It couldn’t have been more sinister, dark, divisive, frankly FASCIST. It’s everything we expected it to be, full of threats, ominous warnings, vitriol, lies, half-truths, deflections, dishonesty, pandering, and so on. What I REALLY worry about is, “Who is listening and nodding as they watched him?” It is THESE stupid, mindless, lemmings/sheep who actually believe his drivel that concern me. Allowed to see the truth they’d be harmless. Poisoned as they are by the excrement emerging from the mouths of the Left, they become a REAL threat to America. Brainwashed and led by radical Democrat demagogues – pick whatever label you want for them: socialists, communists, eco-fascists, anti-Americans, metastatic cancerous leeches…they comprise a force of zombie-like zealot idiots who attack and destroy on command and at will every traditional value, institution, cherished principle that made America great to begin with.

The Democrats/Leftists are what they are and what they have always been. Now that we are in a cold war for the soul of America, the only thing that’s different is that they’re cornered and unhinged and exposed and thus far more dangerous than they’ve been in the past. Their acolytes and lemming followers drool and nod and repeat the slogans and dogma emanating from the sick minds of the puppet masters BEHIND Biden, Pelosi, Schumer and the whole panoply of fools following their lead.

So saturated are the airwaves and print media with the absolute garbage they spew, many otherwise smart, experienced, what I would call NORMAL people are being infected. I hear what should be conservatives, or at least traditionalists regurgitate Leftist talking points. I hear them questioning the morality, values and virtues that they grew up on, that they KNOW are right. I watch them meekly deny their beliefs so as not to offend their already terminal neighbors. I expect a cock to crow as they abandon what they know to be true.

I get it. The Left has so destroyed our sense of meritocracy, of fairness, of good and evil that from our bosses on down we’re silenced into compliance. Should we speak up, our livelihoods are put at risk. Should we actively throw the BS flag on the woke nonsense being megaphoned from human resource departments, in “team building” meetings, etc., we risk at a minimum ostracization, at worst, our jobs.

Speeches like the one Biden gave last night contribute to the corrosion, to the pollution, to the spread of the Leftist cancer.

This guy has to go, of course, but so do all the despicable, pandering, anti-American underlings who lead and also serve the gospel of destruction which forms the basis of the Democrat/Leftist agenda.

Who Are The REAL Enemies of the Republic?

Education, Elections, Media, Politics, Society & Culture, Uncategorized, Values

The Media. The New York and Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post and virtually every rag that models itself after one or all of them. MSNBC, CNN, FOX (yes FOX!), ABC, CBS, NBC, virtually all the “local” news channels. And the biggest criminal media enterprise of all: Big Tech and they who operate SOCIAL MEDIA. They have all served to influence perception with a Leftist, Socialist, Communist, Totalitarian, Victimhood, Bleeding Heart, Democrat, LOSER bias. And we all know PERCEPTION CREATES REALITY.

How else can we explain how so many educated, literate, economically well-off or at least stable people can’t see the reality in front of them. Fortunately, if we are to believe SOME of the media, more and more Americans each day are “getting it”. But how could we let this happen?

A great article by Andrew W. Coy appeared recently in American Thinker entitled “What’s Going On in America“. He concisely lists the panoply of what we cannot believe. Here’s a list drawn from his words:

The FBI raid on Biden’s probably future political opponent’s personal home and threat of jail time;
Fences around the White House, FBI headquarters, the Capitol but insufficient fence on the southern border;
We are forced to take experimental vaccines (which are NOT vaccines but genetic-altering experiments that, by the way, don’t work and have been proven to generate innumerable bad side effects);
We are not allowed to work or move about the country freely;
$85 BILLION (!) of military equipment was left for terrorists and goat-herders in Afghanistan who hate us and want to see us destroyed;
So-called “leaders who made it legal for minors to have permanent, life-altering sex changes while it would be a crime to give them cigarettes, alcohol or the car keys;
China, Russia, Iran no longer fear us and Israel, Japan and South Korea no longer trust us;
Kindergarteners are forced to wear masks that don’t work, and everyone knows they don’t work;
J-6 political prisoners are still being held in D.C. jails without charges being filed against them or bail being afforded to them;
More illegal immigration in the last year than in any year since records have been kept, and the Democrats don’t care and continuously gaslight us;
We have inflation at a 40-year high and we know the people running the government aren’t stupid, so why are they doing it?:
We are no longer energy independent and beg our sworn enemies for it while we know damn well we have enough natural energy within our borders to meet our needs (who in D.C. financially benefits from this?);
We have food and basic needs shortages (e.g. baby formula);
We allow Iran the mechanism to have nuclear weapons but D.C. can’t understand Israel’s fears – the Deep State can’t be that dumb, so why are the Democrats letting this happen (Qui bono?);
The “President” and supposed Leader of the Free World is clearly suffering from dementia but we’re not allowed to notice or speak of it;
Biden tried to create a Ministry of Truth;
“Equal Opportunity” is now a racist term while “Equal Outcomes” and “Equity” are de rigeur;
Flash mobs loot downtown stores with impunity;
There is increasing unmitigated and unprovoked violence against innocents and no-one is prosecuted;
Churches, synagogues, cathedrals are closed down by government edicts but Democrat-led states openly and without shame call for fourth term abortions;
It is now ok and justified to discriminate against white men in jobs, promotions, college acceptance, but it is a hate crime to not allow transgender adults to indoctrinate our youth;
The Deep State thinks advocates the demise of America and encourage China’s rise to superiority;
The FBI/CIA/NSA routinely violate laws and the Bill of Rights with impunity and the 1st, 4th and 5th Amendments are just suggestions to them;
The Patriot Act is being used on Americans in America by the American government;
Biden will use deadly force to collect taxes, but not to defend our borders.

To this list I would add:
The destruction of integrity in our election system;
The ACTUAL racism of the Left;
The absence of any work ethic in the vast majority of Gen Zr’s as well as Y’s and Millenials;
Reckless fiscal and monetary policies aimed at redistributing wealth in this country from the have’s to the have not’s in order to buy votes and obtain permanent power;
Enviro-fascism;
Public-sector unions;
The assault on young white boys;
The Lincoln Project, 1619, CRT, LGBTQxxx in all their destructive forms;
and so on and so forth.

We said two years ago and repeat often that the damage the Democrats could and would do since the 2020 election would be immeasurable. Indeed, they’re doing it.

AND THE MEDIA IN ALL ITS FORMS IS ENABLING AND EMPOWERING THEM!

THEY are the ones we should be angry at. They’re just performers seeking fame and fortune while serving as puppets for the villains who already have those two things and are bent on satisfying their addiction to POWER.

What’s particularly sad to an old grandpa like me is that the young don’t get it. They have no basis against which to compare what’s going on today with what could be except our rantings and ravings of how abused and oppressed we increasingly are. They think this is all normal! If Kanye and Kim act as if it’s all ok, then it must be ok!

Sigh…

The Raid

America, Elections, Government, Politics, Society & Culture, Values

Are you really surprised? Outraged, yes. Sickened, yes. Angry, yes. But surprised, no.

I can’t decide whether the Democrats are so stupid and desperate that they really believe what they are doing is right, or is it they are so evil that they think they can get away with it. As despicable as they are, I’ll go with the latter. They believe the ends justify the means. They can and will do anything because they have the overarching protection of an equally stupid and evil press. They will use implausible deniability to gaslight the public: Garland and Biden didn’t know anything about the raid, yeah, right…they probably didn’t so they could with straight faces say, “We didn’t know”, but their puppet masters and henchman sure as hell did!

What tells me that the Left’s takeover of our institutions is virtually complete is the stranglehold they have on the leadership, thus the rank and file of the FBI and other three letter agencies. I know a number of dedicated, patriotic Americans who work or worked at these agencies and I can only surmise that they are following orders at the risk of having their jobs and livelihoods taken away from them if they don’t.

When I took the vow to defend and protect the Constitution I took it not just seriously, but with a lump in my throat. I am certain many if not all of the agents who participated in the raid on Mar-a-Lago did the same. Either they were just obeying orders and were thinking about their paychecks and livelihoods, or they too have become so brainwashed as to believe all the drivel in the Democrat talking points.

If the latter, we truly are on the edge of a precipice.

People are ANGRY, I included. Writers, pundits and commentators on the Right are writing about civil war, REAL armed insurrection, armed conflict.

Of course, this is precisely what the Democrats intended. What they want is to have some pissed off Trump supporter carry a gun to Mar a Lago or FBI headquarters and start shooting. The Democrats’ response will be martial law, suspension of habeas corpus, cancellation of the November elections, and permanent control.

“Come on Grumps, you’re way overreacting!” some of you may be thinking.

Not anymore. They have a crossed a bridge too far with this stuff. They are counting on the geographic dispersion of the Right and its split  into neocons, America First Republicans and right-side independents to run roughshod over us. They are counting on the media to carpet bomb the airwaves with their propaganda and lies, and they’re counting on their globalist deep pockets to fund their tactics.

Attention spans, even among educated, thinking conservatives, are limited by the exigencies of each day. From time to time a pundit cites the list of the atrocities that have been committed by Democrats to attempt to “fundamentally transform” our nation. The list is long, and the actions and rhetoric are treasonous by any patriotic measure.

But they plow on with impunity. Either, as some say, ordinary Americans are fed up and will have wreack  vengeance in November, or they are already so weakened by the thousand cuts that they are consciously complying without thinking or skepticism anymore.

What can we do?

Sign up to be a poll watcher. Work to support America First/MAGA Republican town committee leaders where they exist and attend meetings and vote out go along/get along, weak-knee’d GOP leaders. Stand tall and don’t back down to the intimidation of the Democrat thugs who will try to bully you into compliance and submission regarding voting, controlling the agenda, etc. Take you gloves off and get your hands dirty! Speak up, speak out, protest PEACEFULLY, and make so much noise that the sycophant Leftists in the media HAVE to cover it. If you truly cannot devote the time and effort to physically get involved, WRITE CHECKS! As wasteful as political campaign spending is, today it takes ridiculous amounts of cash to print signs, fund televised appearances, send out direct mail, etc.

NO AMOUNT IS TOO SMALL!

If every conservative were to send even $10 to one or more campaigns for qualified, conservative candidates (not even the price of a burger these days!) it would amount to hundreds of millions of dollars to counter the hundreds of millions supplied by Leftist tech oligarchs, globalist megalomaniacs, power brokers and uneducated, brainwashed snowflakes desperate for attention and the approval of their peers, to the coffers of America-last, power and money driven Leftist Democrats.

FIGHT!

There Is So Much Going On

America, Government, Headlines, Health Care, Law and Order, Media, Morality, Politics, Reason, Religion, Society & Culture, Values, World Affairs

that it’s difficult to choose what to write about. Once again I find myself running out of superlatives, pejoratives, adjectives and adverbs to describe the deluge/tsunami of BS saturating the airwaves, dividing our people more and more, exacerbating our laughing-stock reputation around the world, leading us down to a place similar to what Dante described in the Inferno.

First, top of mind, is the success with which the Left is dividing the Right into Trump supporters and Trump haters. I have good friends, solid conservatives, who have sworn they would never vote for Trump if he runs in 2024. The Left loves it. This is EXACTLY what they hope to do…split the Right so that in addition to their cheating, thievery, lawlessness and manipulation tactics, they will be able to somehow limit the losses this November and sew up the 2024 presidential contest. If you have any doubt about whether they can pull this off, just look at what they did to Manchin, to their own. (Oh, and by the way, I’ve never trusted Manchin as far as I can throw him. He’s political scum just like all the rest.)

Second, I heard Pelosi’s trip to Asia described as a “going out of business” sale. Nice! ANYTHING they can do to take the spotlight off their miserable failures at home the Left will do. Her trip is both a boondoggle and for show. Just watch the slobbering, tingle up the leg Leftists celebrate her “courage” and “standing up for America” nonsense. It’s disgusting to those of us who REALLY care about our country. It is a calculated political stunt, nothing more.

Third, if you’re not convinced that the COVID pandemic wasn’t/isn’t about power, control and money, you’re not paying attention and have been completed hornswoggled. The Left has so polluted/muddied up the information on this illness, its prevention, its transmission, the therapeutic responses, that you simply can’t believe ANYONE on this subject! Not your doctor, not the NIH, not HHS, certainly not the White House, not anyone in Congress, not any published discussion or exposé. I just wish you and your loved ones well as you cope. Wash your hands; don’t sneeze in other peoples’ faces or allow them to sneeze or cough in yours; stay home if you have a fever.

Fourth, inflation and what’s going on with our economy is affecting different people differently. I know plenty of well-to-do people who complain about $5 gas but whose lifestyles aren’t all that affected by it. IT DIDN’T HAVE TO HAPPEN. Trump and the Right warned that if we elected Biden we’d have open borders and the Green New Deal. We’ve got them, and we’re all paying for them to one extent or another.

Fifth, we on the Right are getting exhausted. We’re constantly spitting in the wind, trying to push back against the leftist BS leviathan, but we’re tired, and getting complacent, and just assuming that it’ll all be ok after November. No it won’t! This fight was a cold war before 2016, now it’s kinetic, gloves off, rules be damned… a street fight for the heart and soul of our country. Right now I find myself trying to encourage my conservative friends to not stop fighting, to stop coasting, to remain engaged, put up signs, call the Left out on their BS and like naughty puppies, rub their noses in what they’ve left on the rug that is our country.

I could go on and on. Good guys with guns stopping bad guys, the border completely out of control while “being closed”; monkeypox on the horizon; Fox News cancelling trump, the NY Post editorializing that Trump is a goner, a liability, useless; Biden covering over the failure of the Afghanistan debacle with the Zawahiri termination success (something which has been in the works for years and predates anything the Obama, Trump or Biden administrations have done) yet Biden says, “At my direction..” On that I once again throw the BS flag. Wokeness in the military, the continuing indoctrination of our children to accept biological and societal deviance and aberration as normal, the continued rewriting of our history, the assault on guns, the deep, deep, swamp filled with alligators and all sorts of noxious, deadly threats. What have we become? There’s no glossing over it any more…our country is a MESS and no amount of gaslighting and window-dressing is going to make us great again. The only thing that will is a complete and utter, humiliating defeat of all the disgusting memes, perversions, idiocies… downright evil the Left has been pushing.

Even without invoking God, the honest agnostic or atheist can see how wrong the Left is and how far down the slippery slope we’ve gone. We can either pray or just hope that there is enough righteous indignation left in our people that we will purge ourselves of this cancer before it takes our civilization down completely and irretrievably, to be thrown like so many other great civilizations on the ash heap of history.

“We’re Fed Up”!

America, Education, Family, Government, Headlines, History, Law and Order, Politics, Society & Culture, Technology, Values

I came across this speech by Harriet Hageman, Wyoming Republican candidate to upset Liz Cheney and couldn’t find a transcript. It was so good that I transcribed the “we’re fed up” part of it myself from a Rumble video available here. It enumerates just about everything that stinks about the Biden presidency and the current state of affairs in our country.


“We’re fed up with federal government that doesn’t seem to work for us anymore.
We’re fed up with out of control spending.
We’re fed up with the radical Biden agenda.
We’re fed up with seeing young mothers and fathers who can’t find baby formula for their newborns.
We’re fed up with $6.00 gasoline, and $6.00 diesel
We’re fed up with a shortage of fertilizer for our farmers and the supply chain that has been broken by the incompetence of our federal agencies.
In short we’re fed up with inflation and all of the related monetary policies that have threatened to turn the greatest country on earth into a third world failure.
We’re fed up with the Green New Deal and the socialists who created it.
We’re fed up with the attacks on our fossil fuel and energy industries, the good paying jobs that they support, the incredible standard of living that they provide and the clean an abundant energy that they produce.
We’re fed up with an open border, with human trafficking, with fentanyl flooding our country, and illegal immigration.
We’re fed up with people, countries and organizations who believe that we are responsible for protecting the integrity of the border of every country on earth but not our own.
We’re fed up with Critical Race Theory, with boys competing in girls’ sports, with the radical abortion industry and those extremists who are willing to destroy the Supreme Court to prevent us from being able to protect life.
We’re fed up with the liberal media, Twitter, Facebook, Google, YouTube for blocking conservative speech because they know the democrats cannot debate the merits of the important issues we are facing including Covid 19, law and order, the 2020 election, and even the history of this country.
We’re fed up with people who refuse to recognize that socialism, wherever practiced, has resulted in the deaths of millions of people, abject misery and the destruction of everything good.
We’re fed up with our government and universities censoring conservative thought, cancelling debate and rewriting history.
We’re fed up with the corruption in the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, the CIA the NSA and the FISA court.
We’re fed up with mask mandates, vaccine mandates, the CDC, the NIH, the WHO and the misinformation campaign surrounding Covid 19.
And we’re fed up with Anthony Fauci.
We’re fed up with the politicians and elitists in D.C. who are getting rich while the middle class falls further behind every year.
We’re fed up with Joe Biden, with Nancy Pelosi, with Chuck Schumer.
We’re fed up with the democrats who want to destroy our country and take away our God-given rights as guaranteed to us by our constitution.
We’re fed up with the January 6th Commission and those people who think they can gaslight us. We’re fed up with those types of republicans who work harder to deflect the failures of the current administration than they work to protect us from it.And we’re fed up with Liz Cheney.”

Beauty and the Beast

America, Headlines, Politics, Society & Culture

It’s not the fact that the July 6th Committee is spewing fabricated, produced drivel, it’s that they wouldn’t do it if there weren’t sufficient dumbed-down, brainwashed Americans willing to swallow the nonsense! In other words, the Left has succeeded in so overwhelming the media, the airwaves, the narrative, the air we breath with so much BS that more than just a significant number of our people actually believe it! Trump is no angel, and he’s an inarticulate spokesperson for what about half of us feel about what’s happening to our country, but you can’t deny he’s fearless, doesn’t give a damn what people think of him, and unabashedly pro American and pro traditional values. I can only hope that this stupid, childish, Leftist anti-Trump strategy backfires and causes a substantial majority of our people to throw the BS flag on the field and vote these idiots out of office this November. As for Trump running in 2024… we’ll see. At this moment I’d rather he play the role of king maker than run himself, but we’ll see what happens after November.

The “Bruen” Gun Control Decision

2nd Amendment, Emergency Preparedness, Headlines, Reason, Society & Culture

The Left and the Right are immediately reacting to the SCOTUS decision to strike down the New York “must show cause” law that requires citizens to prove they have some kind of special need for self defense to obtain a concealed carry gun permit. Justice Thomas’ opinion for the majority is straightforward and the conclusion obvious. You shouldn’t have to PROVE you have a special need in order to benefit from the rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights. Period! What galls me, however, is the panting whine of the Left that “this will turn New York City into the Wild West”. Nonsense. New York and all the other major cities are ALREADY the Wild West, where LAWLESSNESS RULES! What the possibility of ordinary citizens walking the streets of Manhattan with concealed guns will do is DETER many a thug from playing the “knockout game” (for example) or give a citizen a fighting chance to defend himself or herself when accosted by bad guys. The media doesn’t talk about the deterrence impact, however. They immediately go to the extremes to formulate the debate and controversy. That conflict, of course, like the car wreck by the roadside, is where the money is. Follow the money.

What Will The Next Crisis Be?

Government, Politics, Reason, Society & Culture

The Democrats wouldn’t be quadrupling down on their BS unless they had something else ( a crisis or multiple crises) planned for the November election. Whether it’s something external like a massive escalation of the Ukrainian/Russian war fomented by us with more and more cash infusions, or another bug scare, perhaps Ebola this time which is TRULY deadly, their goal will be to perpetuate the mail-out/mail-in fraud so they can surmount the tsunami of legitimate votes against them. The media continues to suppress the truth, Biden and his handlers continue to gaslight too many unthinking, dumbed-down leftist sheep, and the nature of politics is that neither the GOP firebrands nor a coalition of them with the RINO’s may be able to CHECK the fraud in advance. The only way we’re going to know that sufficient protections for a free and fair election are in place is with the stock market anticipating the crushing of the Left, which a major turn around in this bear market will portend. It’s premature for that as we still have to go through the summer of riots, fires, protests, mass shootings, suicides, mysterious deaths, etc. We just have to hang on until, say, Labor Day after which things should become much clearer. If the market doesn’t head straight up by the end of the summer, Katie-bar-the-door. In the meantime, I’m watching reruns of old series like “The Big Bang Theory” to compartmentalize. Sigh…

The PLATINUM Jubilee

History, Society & Culture, Values

Watching the coverage this morning I am reminded that the pageantry of the Royal Jubilee encompasses all the tradition, class, honor, duty, and other noble features that we so sorely lack today. The language used by the commentators, the precision exhibited by the military, the music, the organization, the sheer complexity of the whole affair speak to the majesty and glory of TRADITION. The reason why I refer most often to the RIGHT as Traditionalists is that tradition transcends politics. One can be economically conservative, socially liberal, or something else but the VALUES and practices of Tradition cover all people in all ages of time. They are founded on the principles of Good and Evil, of Equal Opportunity vs. Equal Outcome, of Merit vs. Indolence, of Work vs. Welfare. And how, you might ask, can that apply to a privileged, entitled royal family? It applies because in all ages of time, there are those who are called to set an example, to exhibit the principles, to set the standard and remind ALL of what is right and wrong, good and evil, proper and improper.
