Let us each take a moment to remember those 2,977 innocent Americans lost, along with the thousands injured and countless lives of families, friends and fellow Americans shattered forever by this atrocity. May the Lord find favor in our nation and our people once more to lift up leaders who might continue to recognize such evil in a broken world, humble and strengthen us to prevent it when humanly possible, and may we never forget these precious souls who were taken from us.<br />
<br />
<i>The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face to shine upon you</i>...</span><br />

Shurk, who doesn't shy away from the week's events, the situations at present, or the circumstances of our times...<br />
<br />
From ruminating on the battle lines drawn by the <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2023/04/the_ruling_classs_stalinist_purge.html">Ruling Class's Soviet-style Purge</a>...

A "great America," you see, is antithetical to the technocratic police State that the Marxist globalists are busy building. When individual rights and liberties are respected, self-sufficient Americans do not need government apparatchiks to fashion drab, one-size-fits-all, welfare-dependent, groupthink-dominated futures. When American families are independent and strong, there are no psychologically unstable, lost, "woke" generations to crave <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/04/joe-biden-says-the-quiet-part-out-loud-theres-no-such-thing-as-someone-elses-child-our-nations-children-are-all-of-our-children-video/">parenting from the State</a>. When Americans choose God's truth over the government's lies, then man-made institutions look frail next to the divine. Anybody who does not toe the Establishment line must go because totalitarianism cannot survive even a whisper of condemnation. Lies built from sand can withstand no breeze.<br />
<br />
I think this difficult period of American history — during which the Marxist globalists and their appeasers have openly embraced censorship, political persecution, and social "cancelation" — will be remembered as a kind of Stalinist "purge" long in the making. I should say "Soviet purge," because Lenin used murder and imprisonment to silence dissent (or potential dissent) just as ruthlessly as his successor. It was Stalin who really took it to the "intellectuals," though, and many who ignored Lenin's brutality out of a self-sabotaging allegiance to communism belatedly learned that any system predicated on total control over individual minds will eventually find anybody with a mind a threat.<br />
<br />
The more general "Soviet purge" has been ongoing for decades, as defenders of liberty — often politically conservative in their outlook and in possession of true religious faith — have been run out of academia, denied promotion within the federal bureaucracy, and kept from having any editorial voices on the pages of the nation's leading newspapers. Everybody has been aware that the Marxists' "long march through the institutions" has been trudging along unabated, but because those who parroted "politically correct" opinions found professional advancement and steady accolades while their colleagues "disappeared," they held their tongues and said nothing. Now the "Stalinist purge" begins in full swing, and many who have traded their consciences for cushy lifestyles over these last few decades will learn that totalitarian systems always save their supporters for dessert.<br />
<br />
There is a great deal of public celebration among leftists these days. They managed to use propaganda, criminal conspiracies, and boatloads of unverified mail-in ballots to remove President Trump from office. Since his departure, federal and state prosecutors have built sham criminal cases intended to thwart his return and imperil his life with once-unthinkable imprisonment. State actors attack him from all directions with civil suits intended to drain him of time and resources. His political friends and allies — who have been unjustly dragged through the criminal "justice" system due to the machinations of unethical prosecutors and black-robed tyrants —remain targets for their beliefs.<br />
<br />
The ruling class — consisting of the political Uniparty, the permanent Deep State, and the financial oligarchy pulling the Leviathan's strings — wasted no time demonizing Trump's supporters as "Nazis" and "racists" and "insurrectionists" who deserve to have their families ripped apart and lives burned to the ground. It never mattered how absurd it was to defame patriotic Americans who seek limited government and human equality regardless of skin color as somehow anti-American Big Government types seeking to separate citizens by race. Reason and rationality are among the first victims of any purge.<br />
<br />
In lockstep, the Establishment Borg demanded that anybody who showed up in D.C. on January 6, 2021 to <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/04/huge-rasmussen-poll-show-that-a-majority-of-americans-60-believe-that-recent-elections-have-been-affected-by-cheating/">protest election theft</a> be arrested. It did not matter how ludicrous it seemed that Joe Biden — a mental midget who struggled throughout his venal life to garner support anywhere outside Delaware — could have "won" fifteen million more votes than "rock star" Obama had in his last election. It did not matter that no presidential incumbent in the modern era had ever gained substantially more votes during his re-election race, as Trump did, without being declared the winner. It did not matter that reports of voting irregularities in battleground states were numerous or that the judicial system failed to acknowledge sworn witness affidavits attesting to election fraud. The ruling class said Trump had to go, and when his supporters voiced their objection, they were summarily targeted as "<a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/04/65-of-us-voters-believe-it-is-likely-undercover-agents-provoked-the-j6-us-capitol-riot/">enemies of the State</a>."<br />
<br />
Now the most profitable cable news channel sends its most popular star packing because he has grown noticeably more MAGA-oriented and noticeably less subservient to the Establishment Borg. Tucker, at least for the time being, should be fine. In fact, his departure might even signal that his mind can finally be free. For the ruling class, however, he is yet another public execution intended to cow the masses. There is no powerful dissenting voice too big to take down. There is no public figure too popular to undermine. Whether an elected president or one of the country's leading political pundits, the ruling class will purge anyone who refuses to obey.<br />
<br />
For seven years now, the message has been the same. If you choose to stand against the permanent Deep State, the Borg will come after not only you, but also your friends and family. In essence, the U.S. government is now just another Mafia family that exists to extort Americans and eliminate any who <a href="https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/04/22/neil-oliver-nice-life-youve-got-there-itd-be-a-shame-if-something-happened-to-it/">refuse to kneel</a>.<br />

Whispering close to the NPC's ear, the patriot calmly answers, "You did." I would venture to say that well over a hundred million Americans now personally relate to that serious message.<br />
<br />
Several wise readers often leave comments to these essays noting that this totalitarian march inciting only more rage reflects the internecine struggle between good and evil. They are surely correct. Whenever human dignity is pushed to the shadows because agents of the State bully and taunt those with character, evil grows. Whenever individuals are forced to betray their consciences to save loved ones from wretched fates, evil grows. Whenever government institutions demand reverence for lies while blaspheming religious truth, evil grows. Whenever people are punished for their beliefs, ostracized for their dissent, or purged from the public square, evil grows. <br />
<br />
First and foremost, evil lies. It should surprise no one, then, that Joe Biden's handlers have framed his re-election campaign as a struggle for "freedom," when his administration has done as much damage to American freedom as any in the country's two hundred and fifty years. "The question we are facing," the commie puppet read from his script, "is whether in the years ahead we have more freedom or less freedom, more rights or fewer." During these last few years of the Biden Gang's White House occupation, no honest observer could pretend that freedom or constitutional rights have been protected. But evil always drives honesty away and enshrines outrageous falsehoods as sacred truths. The same pretend president who has stolen liberty from Americans and punished political dissent will now pretend to stand for virtues he reviles.

With such blatant lies all around us, it should be evident that this is a battle between good and evil. Any system predicated on intimidation and force is illegitimate. Any ruling class willing to purge opponents is willing to slaughter them, too. Any government that tortures truth with lies is willing to torture those who stand for truth.<br />
<br />
Freedom is God's blessing to man, and when enemies of freedom work to extinguish its light, they choose to bring darkness to the land. However, allow me to offer you this certainty as a shield: the darker it becomes, the brighter every light of resistance shines.

Americans know that what happens next won't be enjoyable except in that perverse way when abject terror floods the body with adrenaline. Majorities or near-majorities expect imminent economic disaster, global war against nuclear-armed foes, and civil war here at home. If that's "progress," then it's long past time to turn the country around. Yet that's the thing with roller coaster rides: even if we hit the brakes now before cresting the summit, our downward acceleration is guaranteed — in one direction or another.<br />
<br />
It's not as if the ruling class's "cult of expertise" provides any comfort. We have a president who long ago lost his marbles, a vice president who succeeded in the political profession by excelling in the oldest one, a secretary of defense committed to promoting men in dresses, a health bureaucracy pumping citizens full of experimental drugs, a Treasury Department endlessly printing money, a Commerce Department prioritizing inflation-inducing "green" windmills over real economic growth, a homeland security chief dedicated to keeping the nation insecure, and a <a href="https://www.conservativedailynews.com/2023/04/nobody-trusts-the-fbi-fox-business-panel-rips-fbi-over-hiding-nashville-shooters-manifesto/">national police force</a> that treats half the country as "domestic enemies." It's almost as if whoever installed these yahoos into the highest positions of authority wanted obvious "fall guys" for when everything, well, falls down.<br />
<br />
The Gateway Pundit recently ran <a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/04/deagel-population-forecast-of-nearly-70-percent-fewer-americans-by-2025-is-starting-to-look-prophetic/">an article</a> reminding readers of an ominous analysis from a private intelligence outfit predicting a seventy-percent decline in America's population by 2025. That Deagel Corporation forecast released less than a decade ago shocked a lot of people at the time, but in an age when Farmer Gates and Doom Fauci continue to promise incoming pandemics worse than COVID, the World Economic Forum's human sacrifice cult insists on widespread energy poverty and famine, and U.S.-NATO plays Russian roulette for fun and profit, apocalyptic population drops no longer seem so unimaginable from the top of this globalist roller coaster. (Morbid side question: If Deagel's devastating prophecy proves right, will climate cultists still insist that only global government and micromanaged markets can save the world from destruction? Arg, of course they will; even after killing off 95% of the planet, A.I. clones of Klaus Schwab, George Soros, and Barack Obama will still be blaming the remaining 5% for "hate" crimes, global warming, and "white supremacy." Hustlers can't ever give up the con.)<br />
<br />
A lot of armchair analysts originally wondered about Deagel's math, especially since the intelligence firm predicted steady or rising population numbers for Russia, China, and most of the Global South. Did the private spooks expect a one-sided nuclear, biological, or EMP-inflicted war in which America's enemies were overwhelmingly victorious? Or did they perhaps simply take the U.N., WEF, and Obama-deluded U.S. at their word when the West decided that its primary nemesis is bad weather? If you eliminate hydrocarbon energies and non-zero carbon producers from the market, after all, then agricultural production drops dramatically, energy for home heating disappears, and the costs of manufacturing inputs rise exponentially. Runaway food and fuel inflation all but ensures cataclysmic poverty, starvation, and a return to burning wood for heating (when smoke-filled skies will prove the toxic repercussion of tilting at windmills for energy). <br />
<br />
Maybe Deagel attentively studied the new-world-order master plans of the Marxist globalists running the West into the ground and realized that if they were successful with all their "progressive" promises, the obvious cost would be 70% of the population. Just as the Mesoamerican Aztecs fought drought with human bloodletting, Western socialists know that a lot of innocent people must die for "hope and change." No tyrant ever said Utopia comes cheaply. Russia, China, India, and everywhere else where hydrocarbon energies are still valued as instrumental for prosperity and population growth can just sit back, watch the <a href="https://www.liveaction.org/news/elon-musk-abortion-birth-control-threaten-humanity/">West commit suicide</a>, and wave.<br />
<br />
So here we are in this maddening doom loop, where a majority of Western populations know exactly what kinds of homicidal maneuverings their governments are up to and yet find themselves in straitjackets and chains should they dare to say anything. If you object to the coming "green" energy–induced mass starvation, the zealots brand you a "climate denier." If you prefer diplomacy to nuclear Armageddon, you get labeled a "Russian appeaser" or <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/johnstone-biden-doj-indicts-four-americans-weaponized-free-speech">arrested</a> for spreading "disinformation." If you prefer free expression to government censorship, you're <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/tower-twitter-uk-minister-calls-jailing-social-media-bosses-who-do-not-censor-speech">one tweet away</a> from committing the made-up crime of "hate." And if you still cling to the antiquated notion that the Bill of Rights is an integral part of U.S. law, the <a href="https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/04/21/house-judiciary-committee-releases-evidence-of-u-s-intelligence-community-conducting-domestic-political-disinformation-campaign/">national security Deep State</a> dedicated to monitoring and <a href="https://thefreethoughtproject.com/information-war/council-foreign-relations-advocates-using-propaganda-americans">regulating</a> your language, religion, self-protection, privacy, property, due process rights, and other constitutional guarantees has something to say: namely, that all civil, human, or otherwise natural rights — even when bestowed by God — are suspended during times of declared emergency or whenever else government agents decide to terminate them because they don't like who you are, what you believe, or what you say. Bet you never saw that fine print at the bottom of the Constitution and stamped by the directors of the FBI, CIA, and NSA!<br />

All these essays are excellent.<br />
<br />
As an analytical realist, Tytler looked at history through a lens free from wishful thinking. Every form of government, he argued, is "ultimately ruled by a single will," and, therefore, every form of government is "virtually and substantially a monarchy." He may have had a sincere respect for republican virtues, but he knew that, however democratic a society appeared, a permanent Deep State still rigged the game. Furthermore, he was certain that all great nations eventually implode from internal depravity and corruption: "It is a law of nature to which no experience has ever furnished an exception, that the rising grandeur and opulence of a nation must be balanced by the decline of its heroic virtues." No matter how strong or principled in the past, no government will last.<br />
<br />
Although it is not clear that Tytler actually delineated the "cycle" of civilizational growth and collapse with which he is generally credited, it seems likely that he would have agreed with its usual formulation: "From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to complacency; From complacency to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage."<br />
<br />
Looking at that cycle, it is difficult not to see the shorthand version of events tracking America's meteoric rise and unfortunate decline. From "<a href="https://www.battlefields.org/learn/primary-sources/abraham-lincolns-gettysburg-address">a new nation</a>, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal" to a vast national security surveillance State dedicated to a "woke," Marxist religion, two-tiered administration of justice, <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2023/04/14/19-times-democrats-and-doj-deliberately-politicized-law-enforcement/">political persecution</a>, censorship, redistribution of property, and the racist proposition that Americans should be judged by the color of their skin, rather than by their characters or minds. By every measure available, liberty and courage have been traded for complacency and dependence. <br />
<br />
But what about bondage? Must we follow the Tytler Cycle to its completion and become slaves to a system we abhor? Or do we have the free will to decide which direction this roller coaster will soon head?

It just might be advantageous for us to consider said circumstances, run towards the Light, use free will to choose liberty, resist the allure of tyranny, and make a better way for ourselves and our progeny while we still can (if we still can...and we MUST).</span><br />

The George Orwell quote, “To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle” is almost a cliché in journalism circles by now. But we get it, don’t we? As the world of news became an increasingly discordant cacophony, it became clearer and clearer that if you followed politics, national events, or the world stage, you’d run into a lot of shameless liars.<br />
<br />
I don’t mean differences of opinion, exaggerations, understandable errors while speaking off the cuff, or predictions that later proved erroneous. I mean just flat-out two-plus-two-equals-five versions of wrong. I’m talking about things such as:
</span></i><ul>
<li><i><span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/the-morning-jolt/the-fetterman-charade-ends/">John Fetterman’s doctor declaring</a>, shortly before the lone debate in last year’s Pennsylvania Senate race, that he “has no work restrictions and can work full duty in public office.”</span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">There are people who want you to believe that <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/19/us/politics/biden-age-health.html">an octogenarian president has no significant restrictions on his ability to perform his duties</a>. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed that Biden has so much energy she “can’t even keep up with him.” <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/magazine/2022/11/28/bidens-lost-marbles/">Our eyes and ears tell us otherwise</a>.</span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/incomprehensible-white-house-press-secretary-blasts-desantis-for-rejecting-ap-african-american-history-course/">Karine Jean-Pierre also recently claimed</a> that Florida governor Ron DeSantis wanted to block “the study of Black Americans.” <a href="https://www.fldoe.org/academics/standards/subject-areas/social-studies/african-amer-hist.stml">Florida state law requires the teaching of African-American history</a>; what DeSantis objected to was the portions of the draft of the proposed AP African-American studies curricula <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/neo-marxing-the-college-board-with-ap-african-american-studies/">obtained by</a> National Review that contended that color-blindness is a form of covert racism.</span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">The president defended his <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/the-morning-jolt/bidens-locked-garage-exception-is-not-a-thing/">keeping classified documents in boxes near his Corvette</a> at one of his Delaware houses because, “My Corvette is in a locked garage. Okay? So, it’s not like they’re sitting out in the street.” That does not come anywhere near the requirements for making a site secure for the storage of classified documents under the law. <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/the-real-joe-biden/">Biden also insisted</a> that, “People know I take classified documents and classified material seriously,” after investigators found four separate batches of classified materials in four separate insecure places.</span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">Biden boasted, “We literally cut the federal debt in half by $1.4 trillion.” He <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/a-few-more-biden-lies-about-the-debt-before-election-day/">did not do this literally or figuratively</a>; the debt is $24.6 trillion.</span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">Vice President Kamala Harris insisted in October that, “<a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/kamala-harris-border-nonsense/">We have a secure border</a> in that that is a priority for any nation, including ours and our administration.” A declaration that a secure border is a priority is not the same as actually securing the border. If the border were secure, fewer migrants would be trying to cross it; U.S. Customs and Border Protection would not <a href="https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/southwest-land-border-encounters">be regularly experiencing more than 200,000 encounters per month</a>.</span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">President Biden warned that voting laws in Georgia and elsewhere amounted to “Jim Crow 2.0,” and “an atrocity.” And then that state had record turnout in the midterm elections, and a University of Georgia survey found that <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/survey-0-percent-of-black-georgia-voters-had-a-poor-voting-experience/">zero percent of black respondents</a> said their voting experience in Georgia was poor in the 2022 midterm election. Around 73 percent of black and white voters alike said their voting experience was excellent.</span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">Remember <a href="https://www.indystar.com/story/news/politics/2020/12/17/pete-buttigiegs-role-transportation-secretary-could-help-presidential-bid/3911236001/">the contention in</a> the Indianapolis Star that, “One of Buttigieg’s primary qualifications for a cabinet role is that he was the mayor of South Bend”? <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/magazine/2023/02/20/mayor-petes-canceled-ambitions/">We were right to be skeptical</a>!</span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer insisted that <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/schumer-claims-china-was-humiliated-by-spy-balloon-scandal/">the spy balloon traversing the entire continent was a “humiliation for China,” not the United States</a>, even though General Glen VanHerck, the commander of North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Comm<a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/the-morning-jolt/theres-a-lot-more-to-the-chinese-spy-balloon-story/">and, said of past balloon incursions</a>: “I will tell you that we did not detect those threats. And that’s a domain awareness gap that we have to figure out.” Wait, which country was humiliated again?</span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">Remember when the Chinese government was cited as a role-model for Covid-19 public-health responses — that China had “<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/05/world/asia/china-covid-economy.html">beat the virus and roared back</a>,” as the New York Times put it? <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/the-morning-jolt/the-world-suddenly-realizes-chinas-covid-stats-are-totally-made-up/">We knew China’s official numbers had no relation to what was actually happening on the ground</a>!</span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">President Biden asserted that <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/biden-links-pelosi-attack-to-january-6-rioters-said-those-very-same-words/">January 6 rioters’ chants somehow motivated or triggered the nutjob who attacked Paul Pelosi</a>, instead of focusing on the <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/the-morning-jolt/who-failed-paul-pelosi/">consequences of several successive law-enforcement failures</a> involving that nutjob.</span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">Maxine Waters <a href="https://twitter.com/RepMaxineWaters/status/1598693811252875264?s=20">praised Sam Bankman-Fried for being so “candid,”</a> shortly before he was <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/disgraced-crypto-executive-sam-bankman-fried-pleads-not-guilty-to-fraud/">arrested and charged</a> with defrauding investors, wire and securities fraud, and conspiracy to circumvent campaign-finance regulations.</span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">Does the New York Times follow “the lead of far-right hate groups in its coverage of trans issues”? An <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/the-new-york-times-is-not-a-right-wing-paper/">irate group of activists wants you to believe that</a>.</span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">Even after independent, non-conservative journalism institutions such as the New York Times and the Washington Post verified the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop, Representative <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/aoc-labels-hunter-biden-laptop-story-half-fake-despite-mounting-evidence-to-the-contrary/">Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called it the “half-fake laptop story.”</a></span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">Everyone who assured you that your data was safe on TikTok? <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/a-terrible-week-for-tiktoks-reputation-launderers/">They lied, too</a>.</span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">Randi Weingarten and other teachers’ union officials now talk about year-long school closures as this unforeseeable disaster for children’s education, <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2022/10/do-not-let-leaders-lie-to-you-about-covid-school-closures/">as if she and her allies hadn’t led the fight to keep schools closed in late 2020 and almost all of 2021</a>.</span></i></li>
</ul><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
And those are just the recent lies; before then, the president assured us that the surge of migrants at the border was a routine seasonal pattern, that the Afghan army was well-trained and well-equipped and deserved our confidence, that we wouldn’t see helicopters evacuating people from the U.S. embassy in Afghanistan, that inflation was transitory, that the U.S. would not enter a recession, that the supply-chain crisis didn’t occur, that Covid testing would be easy and plentiful last winter, and that the infant-formula shortage would get resolved quickly. This is all separate from Biden’s implausible and in some cases indisputably falsified tales — that he <a href="https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/dec/03/joe-biden/no-joe-biden-wasnt-tractor-trailer-driver/">used to drive a tractor trailer</a>; that he was <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/01/13/biden-claims-yet-another-arrest-which-theres-little-evidence/">arrested protesting for civil rights</a>; that he was <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/21/us/politics/biden-south-africa-arrest-mandela.html">arrested trying to see Nelson Mandela in prison</a> and that <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/28/politics/joe-biden-south-africa-arrest-cnntv/index.html">Mandela later thanked him</a>; <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/news/10394-biden-revises-claim-he-was-shot-at-in-iraq/">that he was shot at in Iraq</a>; that he <a href="https://nypost.com/2020/01/10/joe-biden-exaggerated-claim-he-took-lead-against-balkan-genocide-report/">personally confronted Slobodan Milosevic</a>; that former Israeli prime minister <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/joe-bidens-faulty-memory-about-israel/">Golda Meir wanted him to be her liaison to Egyptians</a> about the Suez Canal; that <a href="https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1614668282354896897?s=20">as a high-school and college student</a>, he went to both Catholic Mass and services in a black church every day, and so on.

It's time for Republican leaders to unwind all of these damnable lies and demand some kind of action towards accountability. The inevitable question is <i>will they?</i> Or maybe better asked, <i>how will they</i> with this amount of deception amassed over the past couple of years? Either way, may <i>one-half of one-third</i> continue shining light on all of the above for all our sakes, for the truth IS now out.</span><br />

Two of America’s most noble presidents, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, whom Presidents’ Day honors most especially, are routinely scrutinized by the vandals running through our country and institutions. Why?<br />
<br />
The two most consequential presidents are the ones whom the woke despise most. Washington is the “Father” of the United States. But what America is he the father of? The America of liberty, the rule of law, and defender of freedom or the America of racism, white supremacy, and historical injustices? Likewise, Lincoln held the union together, is remembered as the Great Emancipator, and ensured that a united America would stride into the next century in which the United States would be the great bastion of freedom against the totalitarianisms of modernity. Or was he guilty of perpetuating the sins of the past as is now becoming trendy to assert?<br />

Humans live by stories. Because we live by stories, Washington is the central figure in whom two stories of America can be told: the America of liberty, justice, and the rule of law or the America of racism and injustice.<br />
<br />
While it is fashionable to deride critics as rewriting history, the truer understanding is that critics want to tell another story because history is alive through the stories we tell. The 1619 Project and other woke ideologues want to tell a story in which the America of liberty, justice, and the rule of law is replaced by the America of slavery, injustice, and racism. Washington stands on this crossroad because he is the first president after the Constitution’s ratification -- Washington must either be understood as a champion of liberty and equality or a complicit (if not explicit) defender of oppression, injustice, and white supremacy. The woke choose the latter story.<br />
<br />

At its core, woke ideology hates everything to do with America -- the historical America and the America of today which is the product of that historical legacy. Furthermore, in its hatred of everything to do with America, it celebrates everything not American: the alien, the foreign, the other. Lincoln need not apply.<br />
<br />
Lincoln, because he represents the historic America, because he advanced the cause of Manifest Destiny at the expense of indigenous tribes, and because he represents the supposed “white savior” complex, is also someone who needs to be destroyed. In fact, Democrats in D.C. and in other states have already removed statues of Lincoln and want to remove more statues of Lincoln. Lincoln, therefore, in the story the woke tell, represents the continuation of the system born from Washington, the Founding Fathers, and America’s colonial heritage which the woke proclaim is bad, bad, bad.<br />
<br />
This story of America as an oppressor writ large is pernicious on many levels. First, it inculcates a spirit of desecration into the hearts and souls of the next generation. Nothing can be built on hatred; hatred only destroys. Second, this story destroys individuality and agency by flattening everyone to historic actions which we are but the outgrowth expression of. It is meant to destroy notions of individual liberty and freedom by saying we are guilty of past actions or victims of past actions. Third, it negates the heroic sacrifices Americans have made, from settlement to today, in the advancement of liberty and justice for all -- both in America and for the world.<br />
<br /><b>
Presidents’ Day matters because it is an opportunity for us to honor those presidents who helped create a country where a constitution of liberty and the human spirit of ingenuity and freedom could be harnessed, unleashed, and cultivated.</b> If John Lennon wanted us to imagine a utopian world, let us imagine a world without the United States. Let us imagine a world where the United States didn’t exist or the union wasn’t preserved and the totalitarianisms of the twentieth century couldn’t be challenged and defeated with the United States leading the crusade for liberty.<br />
<br /><b>
Americans need to reclaim the story of the United States as a country where the advancement of liberty, justice, and equality is part and parcel of our historical experience and mission.</b> The United States has, and is, a country where a more perfect union is constantly becoming a truer reality. The United States has, and is, a country where the heart and soul of human liberty is nurtured and nourished. <b>Washington and Lincoln stand as exemplars of inspiration in this regard, presidents who helped ensure this could become reality.</b> We walk in their footsteps.<br />
<br />
The attack on America’s presidents is an attack on the understanding we have of ourselves and what story guides our hearts and souls. <b>Presidents’ Day is a reminder of what is good in America, the America of liberty that Washington so valiantly fought for and the America of liberty and equality that Lincoln so nobly stood for.</b> That America would prove indispensable for the conflicts of the twentieth century where the human heart and soul was nearly destroyed by the totalitarian evils that so viciously and violently assailed the world.<br />

I mentioned that hatred cannot build but only destroy, since it lacks the nurturing spirit of love. The totalitarianisms that this noble nation helped to defeat in the past century were built on hatred -- hatred of Jews, hatred of capitalists, hatred of Christians, hatred of everyone not Aryan or communist. <b>Washington and Lincoln stand to remind us of the power of patriotic love and duty, and how patriotic love and duty can, and will, lead to a new birth of freedom.</b> In honoring them, we honor how patriotism nurtures the goodness in us that is called upon to make sacrifices for others.

</span><blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.</span></i><br />

<br /><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment; if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly; if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction, making them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; and if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensual conduct of the wicked (for as that righteous man lived among them day after day, he was tormenting his righteous soul over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard); then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment, and especially those who indulge in the lust of defiling passion and despise authority.<br />
<br />
Bold and willful, they do not tremble as they blaspheme the glorious ones, whereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a blasphemous judgment against them before the Lord. But these, like irrational animals, creatures of instinct, born to be caught and destroyed, blaspheming about matters of which they are ignorant, will also be destroyed in their destruction, suffering wrong as the wage for their wrongdoing. They count it pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, while they feast with you. They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed children! Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved gain from wrongdoing, but was rebuked for his own transgression; a speechless donkey spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet's madness.<br />
<br />
These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm. For them the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved. For, speaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely escaping from those who live in error. They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved. For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.”

As we all know Ronald Reagan was a truthteller and for this, he received the appellation of being a great communicator but he rejected that title saying, “I wasn’t a great communicator but I communicated great things. And [they] didn’t spring fully from my brow. They came from the heart of a great nation.”<br />
<br />
He was too modest about the first part, but he was right about the second.<br />
<br />
Reagan crystallized much of what makes this nation great. And just as importantly, much of what makes this nation good. His core decency was irrepressible. His personality was so compelling that a deep trait of his character — compassion — went sometimes unnoticed.<br />
<br />
On the day of the attempted assassination on him, the grievously wounded Ronald Reagan recalled the parable of the lost sheep that he, and I quote, “began to pray for the mixed up young man who had shot me and to hope that he will find his way back to the fold.”
</i></blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
I don’t know about you, but it was right about here as I listened to the alternately frail yet somehow incredibly strong nonagenarian Dr. Kissinger that I began to have bouts of nostalgia wash over me, nostalgia for a time when the grownups were in charge and leaders were leaders. Compassion, goodness, and decency are not exactly what comes to my mind with most of our leaders these days.
</span></i><blockquote><i>
Ronald Reagan was a fierce cold warrior and an avid and insistent peacemaker at the same time. For him, America’s international strength was not a national vanity nor an end in itself; rather it was a necessary instrument to produce flexibility and compromise by America’s adversary.<br />
<br />
His abiding vision had a moral and strategic clarity; he refused to accept the proposition that leaders had to choose between the two. He was convinced that there is nothing which adversaries admired so much as strength and there is nothing for which they have less respect than military weakness. But he also knew that a country that demands moral perfection in its foreign policy will achieve neither perfection nor security.
</i></blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
After two years of Commander-in-Chief Weak Sauce and Chinese Balloon Week, it seems quaint to think our president could have “moral or strategic clarity” let alone be admired by our adversaries for strength — or anything really.

It was his way of making it clear that he wasn’t taking himself too seriously and to keep his adversaries off balance. One story he loved involved an American debating with a Russian in which the American says, “In my country, I can walk into the Oval Office. I can hit the desk with my fist and say, ‘President Reagan, I don’t like the way you’re running this country.”‘ The Russian replied, “I can do the same thing. I can walk into the Kremlin. Go into [the] president’s office, pound the table, and say, ‘I don’t like the way President Reagan is running his country.'”<br />
<br />
Another story he used to tell was [how] you can always tell the Communists from the anti-Communists. The Communists read Marx and Lenin. The anti-Communists understand it.”<br />
<br />
During the Nixon presidency, I was the liaison of President Nixon to Governor Reagan. I had many occasions to exchange ideas. There was one occasion in which I told him in the 1973 war that we wanted to send planes to Israel and we were looking for a formula to do it without bringing on an even more united Arab attack. Reagan said maybe the way to do it is to say we will replace all the planes that the Egyptians and Syrians have said that they had shot down. This was an awe-inspiring number and met every requirement that we had for replacement — and it also wasn’t exactly accurate.
</i></blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Remember when it was okay to laugh at ourselves? Remember when lessons could be taught gently but firmly and with humor? I do.<br />
<br />
Remember when the Middle East wasn’t a powder keg — well okay, neither do I, but I do remember when that part of the world wouldn’t have even dare to dream of ambushing our soldiers, crossing our borders, or gleefully commandeering millions of dollars of our abandoned military equipment.
</span></i><blockquote><i>
Reagan came to the presidency infused by his anti-Communist convictions. While in office, these never waivered but they were tempered by his enormous sense of responsibility for avoiding catastrophic war.<br />
<br />
I had the privilege of some seventy conversations with him and many other occasions to see him in action in groups during his presidency. There were three convictions that never waivered: first, Reagan believed that America was most secure and prosperous if it was the leader in shaping a stable world; second, he believed that this stable world could not be based on American isolationism.<br />
<br />
Reagan knew that America needed to be powerful in substance and in mind to protect world order — by force, if necessary. He never glorified strength in its own name. Rather, he sought it as a means to peace.<br />
<br />
Thus, his favorite phrase was ‘peace through strength.’
</i></blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
There’s something to be said about being strong and truly believing in the principles that made America the most prosperous and free nation in all of history. Tuesday evening, President Biden will give his State of the Union speech and the thought of his expected obfuscations fill me with equal measures of queasiness and anger. How can this be where Reagan’s America ended up?

He supplemented it with a program that was ridiculed when it was first put forward and which is now a standard part of our armory and that of our allies which was the Missile Defense Program. It is now one of the key elements. He always justified these efforts on the ground that [they] would lead to peace.<br />
<br />
He was determined not to have a nuclear war.<br />
<br />
He wanted to remove catastrophic weapons from the armories but he knew that it could never happen unless the United States possessed enough strength that it could overcome any military challenge. As a result of these efforts, in 1987, an entire category of nuclear weapons [was] removed from the armories. We, of course, were dealing with an adversary who was not always maintaining its commitments and so, this part of Reagan’s efforts, while substantial, has yet to be fulfilled.<br />
<br />
He was in the strongest position of any American president that I have seen in action in his combination of commitment to defense and…to peace.
</i></blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Unless we get a strong leader in the White House in 2024, I don’t see this situation improving. Do we really think China would’ve floated the Balloon Week challenge had President Trump been in the Oval Office? And let’s not forget, we have two more years of President Weak Sauce to <strike>survive</strike> go.
</span></i><blockquote><i>
His willingness to face down challenges and his readiness to conduct negotiations on a human basis. At his first meeting with Gorbachev, he told Gorbachev a story about a 700 lb man who went on a diet and dieted himself down to 400 lbs. He could now walk from his bedroom to his living room. One of Gorbachev’s associates told me that the Russians went crazy trying to figure out what he was trying to tell them — what threat he was uttering in a polite manner. Finally, one of their intelligence people found that this was a story that Reagan had read in People magazine on the way to the meeting.<br />
<br />
In a funny way, they found it very reassuring that in this conversation with this formidable American president was also talking to them on a human level.
</i></blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Say what you want about President Trump, but the man could negotiate like no one since Reagan. And our adversaries feared and respected him.

He said the same option existed for the Soviet Union.<br />
<br />
As the American president, he would dedicate himself to bringing peace even while he was pushing the major rearmament of our military forces. He felt so strongly about it that he even offered to share our strategic defense capabilities if we could achieve a peaceful outcome with our enemies so that this kind of war could never happen. This attitude can be best demonstrated by his speeches about the Berlin Wall. In 1987, he made a speech at the Berlin Wall — I must say over the violent opposition of the State Department — in which he said, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”<br />
<br />
Five months later he made another speech in which he said he was envisioning the day when he and Gorbachev would meet in Berlin [to] start taking down the wall brick by brick and that they would chair an effort to bring peace to the world. This even led to a joint statement by him and Gorbachev in which they said nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.<br />
<br />
Of course, Gorbachev did not stay in office to be able to carry out these visions. We have to remember who brought us to the point where we could have them and where we could be strong enough to implement them.
</i></blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
As a kid who grew up under the threat of nuclear annihilation in the 1970s and ’80s, I for one was grateful for Reagan and Gorbachev’s efforts at de-escalation. Can our kids say the same about Biden & Co. today?

Reagan transcended this divide. Within ten months after he left office, the wall in Berlin came down much the same way as he had hoped — not with Russian cooperation — but through an accumulation of American willingness to stand for its principles.<br />
<br />
President Reagan assumed office after a period of internal turmoil and international withdrawal; after years of protest over the Vietnam War; after the period of hostages in Iran; and [after] a period of domestic assassinations. He overcame these challenges with wisdom and serenity. He epitomized something that I wrote in a recent book that great leaders take their societies from where they are to where they have never been by their vision and imagination.
</i></blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Today it’s Biden’s lack of vision and lack of wisdom that has led to turmoil and division.

Today we again suffer domestic division and international disorder about arguments about who we are and what we stand for. We find it difficult to muster the domestic cohesion necessary to face the challenges ahead of us.<br />

In the Middle East, a hollowed theocracy is on the brink of developing the world’s most devastating weapons. In Asia, Chinese ambitions as the Middle Kingdom constitute a challenge to world order. Most recently, Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine shows no signs of abating. And at the same time, the evolution of artificial intelligence is transforming human consciousness itself.<br />
<br />
Each of these pressing developments requires a combination of strength and conciliation.<br />
<br />
In a recent book, Ronald Reagan was described as the peacemaker. As president, he understood better than anyone how to integrate the elements of power and the elements of conciliation. As he said in his Challenger speech, ‘the future doesn’t belong to the fainthearted. It belongs to the brave.’
</i></blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
The Left and Joe Biden wouldn’t know “conciliation” if their lives depended on it — even though they directly depend on it. While they understand “power,” they haven’t a clue about “conciliation.”

We need his vision. In his farewell address, he described ‘the city on the hill’ as he always said of our country as ‘a beacon — a magnet — for all who must have freedom; for all the pilgrims from all the lost places who are hurtling through the darkness toward home.’<br />
<br />
It is in this spirit that I feel so honored to say these words about a remarkable president. <b>To say at this point, what we most need is another Ronald Reagan.

Amen, Dr. Kissinger. We certainly do need someone with Reagan’s sensibilities, love of America, and who thoroughly understands peace comes through strength. I certainly have someone in mind and I hope he hears Dr. Kissinger’s call to action loudly and clearly.

There was one state, and it was Rome. There was one master for it all, and he was Tiberius Caesar.<br />
<br />
Everywhere there was civil order, for the arm of the Roman law was long. Everywhere there was stability, in government and in society, for the centurions saw that it was so.<br />
<br />
But everywhere there was something else, too. There was oppression – for those who were not the friends of Tiberius Caesar. There was the tax gatherer to take the grain from the fields and the flax from the spindle to feed the legions or to fill the hungry treasury from which divine Caesar gave largess to the people. There was the impressor to find recruits for the circuses. There were executioners to quiet those whom the Emperor proscribed. What was a man for but to serve Caesar?<br />
<br />
There was the persecution of men who dared think differently, who heard strange voices or read strange manuscripts. There was enslavement of men whose tribes came not from Rome, disdain for those who did not have the familiar visage. And most of all, there was everywhere a contempt for human life. What, to the strong, was one man more or less in a crowded world?<br />
<br />
Then, of a sudden, there was a light in the world, and a man from Galilee saying, Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s.<br />
<br />
And the voice from Galilee, which would defy Caesar, offered a new Kingdom in which each man could walk upright and bow to none but his God. Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. And he sent this gospel of the Kingdom of Man into the uttermost ends of the earth.<br />
<br />
So the light came into the world and the men who lived in darkness were afraid, and they tried to lower a curtain so that man would still believe salvation lay with the leaders.<br />
<br />
But it came to pass for a while in diverse places that the truth did set man free, although the men of darkness were offended and they tried to put out the light. The voice said, Haste ye. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness come upon you, for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.<br />
<br />
Along the road to Damascus the light shone brightly. But afterward Paul of Tarsus, too, was sore afraid. He feared that other Caesars, other prophets, might one day persuade men that man was nothing save a servant unto them, that men might yield up their birthright from God for pottage and walk no more in freedom.<br />
<br />
Then might it come to pass that darkness would settle again over the lands and there would be a burning of books and men would think only of what they should eat and what they should wear, and would give heed only to new Caesars and to false prophets. Then might it come to pass that men would not look upward to see even a winter’s star in the East, and once more, there would be no light at all in the darkness.<br />
<br />
And so Paul, the apostle of the Son of Man, spoke to his brethren, the Galatians, the words he would have us remember afterward in each of the years of his Lord:<br />
<br />
<b>Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.</b></span></i>

"...and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in thee to fail..."
</span></i></blockquote><span style="font-family: arial;">Seems these days, <i>judgment</i> is what we must be experiencing as a nation, because I certainly have a hard time accepting what's being allowed. As suspected, two years later, we're met with the same chicanery from the same states producing the same results, and devastating the same <i>democratic</i> processes said to be held so <i>sacred</i>... It's surprisingly hard for so many to believe what is <a href="https://americafirstreport.com/the-red-tsunami-was-stopped-by-massive-widespread-ongoing-voter-fraud/">so blatantly obvious</a> to some of us.
</span><blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">

The House, which was all but assured for Republican majorities for weeks before the election, appears to be heading toward giving razor-thin control to the GOP… and it still has a chance of remaining in Democrats’ hands.<br />
<br />
The red tsunami didn’t materialize. Or, to be more accurate, it was stolen. That seems to be hard for many to accept as even some of the most outspoken conservative and alternative news outlets following the 2020 theft have gone silent on 2022. They’re blaming everything other than voter fraud for some reason. I’ve seen far too few outside of The Gateway Pundit, Wayne Allyn Root, and a few others in media who are discussing in public what seems to be blatantly clear...
</span></i><blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Why are so many people who were absolutely certain the 2020 election was stolen suddenly blind to the fact that 2022 voter fraud was even worse? Only a precious few conservative and alternative media voices are even mentioning the notion of massive, widespread voter fraud.<br />
<br />
The gaslighting isn’t just coming from the left. It’s coming even harder from the Republican Establishment that wants to blame Trump, abortion, “bad” candidates, or anything other than a coordinated attack on our nation and our Constitution.<br />
<br />
Florida was NOT the outlier. Florida is what happens when voter fraud is quashed and actual voters got to have their say at the ballot box without late night dumps, computer “malfunctions,” and ballot harvesting schemes at nursing homes and cemeteries.<br />
<br />
The polls are always wrong… in favor of Democrats. This is the first time in modern history when the polls, corporate media, and everyone else predicted a red wave and it didn’t materialize. It wasn’t that everyone was wrong. It was and continues to be outright theft.<br />
<br />
I know there’s a lot of coping involved. Believing the 2022 election was stolen would be admitting that we no longer have a say in our government. Our voices are being quashed and there are no apparent avenues of recourse. But truth is truth. Stop coping. We MUST address this.<br />
<br />
If you truly believe Pennsylvanians are so masochistic that they’d elect a guy who can’t form a sentence to the Senate, an Attorney General who promotes crime as Governor, and a dead guy to the state legislature, then you believe Pennsylvanians are absolute morons. They are not.<br />
<br />
“It’s the economy, stupid.”<br />
<br />
These words have always rang true. We are in the midst of the worst economic crisis of our lives and there’s ZERO chance America rewarded the Democrats with two more years of Senate control. ZERO. They stole it and so few are uttering those words.<br />
<br />
They called us racists so we did backflips to prove otherwise. They called us terrorists so we stopped going to school board meetings. They called us insurrectionists so we stopped going to protests. Now they call us election deniers so we’re accepting these results. I won’t.<br />
<br />
It feels like only a tiny portion of Americans are lucid and courageous enough to acknowledge the red tsunami was stopped by ongoing voter fraud. That means a majority of people are gullible, feckless, stupid, or a combination of the three. If that offends you, I’m not sorry.<br />
<br />
The only for this nation, Lord willing, is that the same thing that happened with the jabs happens with voter fraud. It took far too long but people are finally waking up to the risks of the jabs. Maybe someday they’ll wake up and realize elections are being stolen from us too.
</span></i></blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
We are already being told to “move on” and the votes haven’t even been fully counted yet. This is worse than the 2020 steal...
</span></i></blockquote><span style="font-family: arial;">
Worse in affecting (and infecting) more states, but also worse that the fraudulence of unsolicited mail-in balloting is being openly instituted in these states as just part of the process now, issuing, coordinating and collecting months in advance, holding over until after the actual <i>Election Day</i>, then dragging out the count until reaching the necessary thresholds to produce the desired outcome days after the actual election.</span><div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial;">Now to his credit, Biden did tell us that <a href="https://thelibertyloft.com/2022/07/28/biden-plans-to-steal-the-next-election-no-kidding/">the plan</a> was to steal this next election, even reminding us in a <a href="https://ussanews.com/2022/11/02/biden-gives-divisive-speech-we-will-steal-it-and-you-will-like-it-or-else/">divisive speech</a> the week before.

Forget “proof.” You know it. You saw it. You felt it. You experienced it. It happened. It’s real.<br />
<br />
The 2022 midterm was just stolen. Just like 2020.<br />
<br />
If you disagree, you’re either delusional, or terribly naïve, or brain dead. Or you’re in on the fix.<br />
<br />
It’s time to admit we’re all part of a massive experiment in fraud, theft, brainwashing, and gaslighting to a degree never seen in world history.<br />
<br />
Think of all the times in just the past few years you’ve been gaslighted. They lied to you about open borders…they lied about Hillary’s 30,000 deleted emails…they lied about spying on Trump…they lied about Russian Collusion…they lied about a perfectly fine Ukrainian phone call…they lied about massive Biden corruption in Ukraine and China… they lied about the Hunter Biden laptop…they lied about the origins of Covid…they lied about the need for lockdowns and masks…they lied about the need for Covid vaccines…they lied about the vaccines being “safe and effective”…they lied and covered up all the deaths and injuries from the vaccine…they lied about the success of miracle drugs Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin…they lied about the stolen 2020 election…<br />
<br />
You’ve been the victims of nonstop severe gaslighting for a decade now. You’re all part of a human psychology experiment in the limits that government and media can go in propaganda and brainwashing…while you can see they’re lying right in front of your eyes.<br />
<br />
And these are the exact same people now telling you Democrats just over-performed, and stopped a GOP red landslide, against all odds, without cheating and stealing the midterm election.<br />
<br />
Historically, every president in history facing his first midterm experiences a tough day with automatically 20 to 30 House seats lost…and 4 or more Senate seats lost…but this terribly unpopular President Biden is brain dead with severe dementia, and can’t put 3 coherent sentences together…Yet Biden defied history?<br />
<br />
While also facing the worst economy in modern history…and the worst inflation in America’s history…and out of control crime…and open borders…and failing schools…and polls showing 75% of Americans believe the country is going in the wrong direction…Yet Biden beat all of that?
</span></i></blockquote><span style="font-family: arial;">
We can run through a litany of suspicious circumstances from the polling that was <i>miraculously</i> defied, to the top issues (inflation, economy, crime, open borders) practically produced by the Dems, demographic shifts that benefited the GOP in across-the-board gains, the toxic environment produced by this administration (gas, groceries, rent, jobs, homelessness, did I mention crime?), and the one-man wrecking ball of a Biden presidency, all with effects felt throughout every corner of the nation. Yet, in the half-dozen or more states that <i>altered</i> their election laws in 2020, we're to believe that none of this seemed to matter? Whereas in law-abiding states like Florida [<i>strict Voter ID, strict laws against voter fraud, severe prison terms for anyone caught trying to commit voter fraud, no mail-in ballots sent to every voter, no ballot drop boxes, no ballot harvesting, no ballots accepted for days after Election Day, no counting for days until the desired result is achieved by the Democrat Party</i>], a red wave happened just as predicted.<br />
<br />
These other bastardized <i>bastions of democracy</i> utilizing a system that's never been used before in the history of America, where it's evident something fishy just occurred, well, they tell us the under-performance was the fault of the conservative movement or something. Granted, there are fundamental problems within the Republican Party, much to do with its leadership, and a topic for another post; but when things don't align to this degree, the gaslighting and election theft (again) are too apparent to ignore. It's just too bad that the Republican leadership won't recognize it, which is yet another reason why the <a href="https://thelibertyloft.com/2022/11/13/yes-mcconnell-and-mccarthy-must-go-but-theres-one-other-mctraitor-that-must-be-fired-too/">McStablishment</a> MUST go.</span></div>

However, as we enter this year's midterm election cycle, a few thoughts occurred that should be mentioned beforehand. First, our <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2022/10/one_simple_question_republicans_can_ask_for_victory_in_november.html">current</a> state:</span><blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/historical-inflation-rates/"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/historical-inflation-rates/"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibWbA-Ho8q3FPX1Am1UufveaqHfmaAR2E9eVIF89lcBeQOFCEZMQY3csrvjmwX5DA8uizf0M_FvEBuIFo5al-Y-MSKk05uQbz9NobaV2fAsQpHM5CsNtx_rmdK9Pvhez_cx4g0YkWunIf9Z6106_u_xnTTBTGVTdByKsmE1jQjmUoVU6nFfctPg4tI/s1300/turn-back-470519612.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="867" data-original-width="1300" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibWbA-Ho8q3FPX1Am1UufveaqHfmaAR2E9eVIF89lcBeQOFCEZMQY3csrvjmwX5DA8uizf0M_FvEBuIFo5al-Y-MSKk05uQbz9NobaV2fAsQpHM5CsNtx_rmdK9Pvhez_cx4g0YkWunIf9Z6106_u_xnTTBTGVTdByKsmE1jQjmUoVU6nFfctPg4tI/s320/turn-back-470519612.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><a href="https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/inflation/historical-inflation-rates/">Inflation</a> in September 2018 was 2.3 percent. Four years later, in September 2022, it was 8.2 percent, a more than 3-fold increase.<br />
<br /><a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/188185/percent-change-from-preceding-period-in-real-gdp-in-the-us/">GDP</a>, picking time points four years apart, provides a similar view.

<br />

</span></i></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: arial;">Secondly, <i>sense</i> in general doesn't seem to be in high demand nor as <i>common</i> anymore, but we're definitely in desperate need of reclaiming it. And so, some <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/10/the_timeless_wisdom_of_thomas_paines_common_sense.html">timeless wisdom</a> to ponder as we enter the polling booth in the coming days...
</span><blockquote>
<blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
PERHAPS the sentiments contained in the following pages, are not yet sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favor; a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defence of custom. But tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason. ~ Thomas Paine, introduction to Common Sense
</span></i></blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyvKBsxMtmJZLWlvFvYeJ7_e3FiYT17rakQL0KTuRuB90XKpd8dE8dHRYrwKBQFd51yKhwBNMEo-f8ESxDD0YoG5E7S7QQ3Br8Si2e4aznLoykjp5sorxsrPB6nikr9wJ2rMVhLhxInwtN0YiQPSR1J8LxYExG60pbMTaojIzhsSpUCuzOTcah4V0J/s3451/Thomas_Paine_rev1.jpeg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3451" data-original-width="2562" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyvKBsxMtmJZLWlvFvYeJ7_e3FiYT17rakQL0KTuRuB90XKpd8dE8dHRYrwKBQFd51yKhwBNMEo-f8ESxDD0YoG5E7S7QQ3Br8Si2e4aznLoykjp5sorxsrPB6nikr9wJ2rMVhLhxInwtN0YiQPSR1J8LxYExG60pbMTaojIzhsSpUCuzOTcah4V0J/s320/Thomas_Paine_rev1.jpeg" width="238" /></a></div>It would behoove us all to review the text of Thomas Paine’s 48-page pamphlet, which he published anonymously (fearing reprisal) in February 1776. Paine’s wisdom applies as well today as it did back then, not because of his argument against the monarchy, but as a reminder that the self-government we championed then—and are losing now—carries responsibilities. ...<br />
<br />
Paine aptly describes how a government must be formed, to have an orderly society
</span></i><blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
…because as the elected might by that means return and mix again with the general body of the electors in a few months, their fidelity to the public will be secured by the prudent reflection of not making a rod for themselves. And as this frequent interchange will establish a common interest with every part of the community, they will mutually and naturally support each other, and on this (not on the unmeaning name of king) depends the strength of government, and the happiness of the governed.
</span></i></blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Clearly, we’ve grown away from that simplicity. A small populace governed by elected representatives people has become 340 million people governed by a nameless bureaucracy, plus a few elected officials who rarely aspire to represent most of their constituents. That part of Paine’s writing devoted to arguing against the concept of hereditary, kingly rule resonates now that we have what was then unimaginable: an ingrained, bureaucratic inflexibility of rule.<br />
<br />
Do we have a president in the sense our Founders conceived? On the face of it, the president today can, by fiat, change any rule. The executive order that put a halt to the Keystone pipeline, and started our descent into energy helplessness is an example. He (or, in Biden’s case, his minions) can direct a corrupt bureaucracy to trample on the rights of the people he so inadroitly governs—a stark example is Biden’s continued imprisonment, without trial, in horrific conditions, of people who walked into the Capitol building nearly two years ago.<br />
<br />
Paine’s writing reminds us that
</span></i><blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by important; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any thoughout the dominions.
</span></i></blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
While that last was again written as an argument against the throne, it holds true now, perfectly describing Biden. Paine further asks this question:
</span></i><blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Is the power who is jealous of our prosperity, a proper power to govern us?
</span></i></blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Such a simple question. It is demonstrably true that those now in power work against our prosperity. We see this in our wealth’s diminution through predictable inflation caused by blatantly bad fiscal and social policy. We, and our government, forget that, as Paine quotes Dragonetti, on Virtue and Rewards,
</span></i><blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
The science of the politician consists in fixing the true point of happiness and freedom. Those men would deserve the gratitude of ages, who should discover a mode of government that contained the greatest sum of individual happiness, with the least national expense. (Emphasis mine.)
</span></i></blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Paine further says that
</span></i><blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
The more men have to lose, the less willing they are to venture. The rich are in general slaves to fear, and submit to courtly power with the trembling duplicity of a spaniel.
</span></i></blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
It is time, I think, to stop trembling and watching our freedom slip away. In much of the country, this election matters more than any before it, and we must consider it a start toward reversing America’s downward spiral. Keeping the feet of those whom we elect to the fire is step two. Complacency is no longer an option.
</span></i></blockquote><span style="font-family: arial;">
And finally, as we inch closer towards these midterm decisions, the necessary course correction should become more in focus by the hour. One could think about the culmination of Democratic disasters over the last few years, but just thinking about the failures of the last few months alone is overwhelming! The stark differences between the two parties and what they stand for today could not be more obvious, so that poses the question: do we want <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/10/the_democrats_democracy_vs_the_gops_republic.html">a democracy or a republic</a>?</span><blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">

Someone should submit a few questions to them.<br />
<br />
1. What is their definition of democracy?<br />
<br />
2. Where is that definition in our Constitution?<br />
<br />
3. Specify the actions Republicans propose that would destroy democracy as they define it.<br />
<br />
4. Specify the actions Republicans propose that would destroy our Republic as defined in the Constitution.<br />
<br />
The Democrats want mob rule. Sheer numbers. As for those in the minority, the Democrat elite will decide what is best for them. In reality, though, the Democrats will decide what is best for themselves and those who support them. That is not what our Constitution provides. Our Framers were meticulous in assuring that we were never to become a democracy. The Constitutional Republic they designed protected and preserved the views and opinions of all Americans, not just those who live in large cities.<br />
<br />
The unfairness of the Democrats' view of democracy can easily be shown visually by electoral maps by county. Even the <a href="https://brilliantmaps.com/2020-county-election-map/">2020 map</a> shows that Trump won approximately five times as many counties as Biden, yet Biden sits in the White House (when not in Delaware). A few blue islands, consisting of some of our large cities, scattered amidst a sea of red. Maps of previous elections are similar. It is the concept of a republic that provides representation to that sea of red.<br />
<br />
This is becoming more and more important as the Democrats continue to divide Americans. There is little credible argument left that the political views of the large Democrat-run cities have much if anything in common with the sea of red, or at least with the "ruling elite" of those cities. The Democrats act as if those who choose to live in the sea of red are beneath them in intelligence, that the Democrats know better what is best for those unfortunate sea of red dwellers. Their arrogance is finally becoming their undoing, even within parts of the blue islands.<br />
<br />
Horrible inflation hurts everybody, especially those in lower income brackets, yet the blue guys keep on spending. A major cause of inflation is injecting new cash into the system. <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2022/10/21/clyburn-we-knew-recovery-program-would-cause-inflation-i-resent-those-whod-rather-have-cheaper-gas-than-jobs-and-education/">Rep. Clyburn (D)</a> admitted that "we [Democrats] all knew" that their spending bills would increase inflation, yet they did it anyway.<br />
<br />
Crime is out of control in many of our <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2022/09/14/out-of-control-crime-threatens-to-bury-democrat-chances-in-november/">large cities</a>, and especially in those run by Democrats. The Democrats in charge have <a href="https://rollcall.com/2022/04/27/defund-the-police-still-haunts-democrats/">hamstrung</a> the police and elected prosecutors who won't prosecute criminals, generally adding to the chaos. The residents are starting to voice their recognition that <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/07/does_the_presence_of_guns_cause_crime.html">guns</a> are not the cause of the crime. The sea of red, on the other hand, prefers and provides law and order.<br />
<br />
Immigration. That our border is wide open is seen live every day for those who care to see it. The blue guys see no problem with this, but the sea of red does.<br />
<br />
Do the blue islanders actually believe they could survive on their own? Who would grow their kale and other vegetables? Who would grow their chickens, cattle, and pigs? Who would grow the wheat for their cooking and feeding whatever livestock they could manage to raise? Who would provide the fossil fuels still needed in a realistic world? Where would the massive factories for the beloved E.V.s and their batteries be built? Where do they think our military traditionally has come from? Where do they think our nuclear deterrent hardware is based?<br />

Republicans do not want to destroy our democracy, because we do not and never have had one. How does one destroy what doesn't exist?<br />
<br />
The little blue islands may wish they hadn't started a tsunami in the overwhelming sea of red. It is ironic that the climate created by such unwise policies may actually result in a rising sea of red levels encroaching on the small blue islands. True man-made climate change.

"For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence -- on infiltration instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, economic, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations." ~ <a href="https://www.jfklibrary.org/archives/other-resources/john-f-kennedy-speeches/american-newspaper-publishers-association-19610427">JFK, 4/27/61, American Press Association speech</a></span></i></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: arial;">I think by now, we've all figured it out: a good <i>Republican</i> in the Biden administration's hive mentality is essentially a Democrat!

Two things struck me as the most egregious of all the lies and misrepresentations out of the mouth of our worst president ever.<br />

"This is not who we are." "That's who we are; that's what we believe." "That's who we truly are." At least three times, he pretended to be "one" with Americans.<br />
<br />
He doesn't speak for me. He doesn't have a corner on the soul of America. Obama tried the same tactic. Talk about how America is in sync with you and supports your policies, then enact policies most Americans oppose and suffer from. Say one thing and do another. In other words, lie every time you speak. Pump up the greatness of America while systematically weakening her. Tell Americans how great they are while fighting every <a href="https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/2022/09/biden-fights-911-victims-court-protect-taliban-daniel-greenfield/">legal battle</a> against their best interests.<br />
<br />
Second. The abuse of the United States Marine Corps. May the two Marines in the background for the worst speech ever given by a sitting president forever remain anonymous.<br />

Joe Biden is not a man who loves America. He is a man who loves himself, and the power to impose his will and waste our hard-earned taxpayer money. His history of corruption has been exposed and his incompetence displayed to the world. No matter how many lies he tells, or how often he tells them, he cannot make them true. He is a disgrace and an embarrassment to all Americans who love our nation.
</span></i></blockquote><span style="font-family: arial;">
It also became painfully obvious that Biden, his administration, and the Democrat Party at large, speak to us as if Trump is still the President... because they KNOW he should be! They know they didn't honestly win the 2020 presidential election, and their unaltered strategy of demonization further proves it. The colonel noticed the same:

It's not just a speech to influence an upcoming election. It's not just a campaign speech against his most likely re-election opponent. It's not just a nationwide screaming insult to half of the electorate. It's another dirty, brightly burning lie to distract from the ever-increasing evidence of the fraud that put him in office.

They are your enemy, and are not going to fight your battles for you. Stop whining.<br />
<br />
And, more to the point, stop giving them material. When you go to the country courthouse to register to vote, do not do it with an AR-15 slung over your shoulder, even if it is legal in your state to do so. And don’t mistake me, it ought to be legal in your state, and you have the right to register to vote that way. One of your sacred freedoms is the right to be an idiot. But between now and November, you actually ought to be doing your best Quaker imitation.<br />

It is time to vote out every last Democrat, the likes of Machin and Sinema included, and when that is accomplished, and the broom put away, we can start talking openly again. Show us your AR-15 at that time, and we will admire it then.

<span style="font-family: arial;">One might see this as a distraction from the Senate Democrats' passage of the <a href="https://www.newsmax.com/politics/cbo-inflation-reduction-act-build-back-better/2022/08/07/id/1082114/">fallaciously named</a> <i>"Inflation Reduction Act"</i> spending $800 BILLION on <i>"<a href="https://therightscoop.com/watch-biden-just-revealed-he-doesnt-know-whats-in-the-phony-inflation-reduction-act/">God knows what</a>,"</i> as Biden put it, pushing us further towards a depression. However, they're actually pretty proud of that, so what's to distract? But what the unDemocratic Party is certainly doing here is shoring up its one-party rule in DC, attempting to affect the outcome of the opposition party's presidential election processes before they even start, curtailing and controlling what they've been accomplishing through broadcast <i>news</i> propaganda and <i>debate</i> spectacles, to now flex their authoritarian muscle through a weaponized federal agency that has been hyper-politicized and used to cripple opposition. Compound that with the <a href="https://2000mules.com/?_nlid=jCmz4CcBMm&_nhids=%25recipient.hids%25">2020 steal</a>, and don't be surprised when some have already started asking if this is our political <i>Lexington and Concord</i> (or at the very least,<i> Fort Sumter</i>)? But it certainly gives credence toward the calls to dismantle such federal departments if they're going to be used in such partisan-attack fashion.</span><div><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">These are dark times, distressing times. And we MUST confront them, take them on, and conquer them... for the sake of our republic, and for the prosperity of our progeny. May Providence guide us always.</span><br />

From Director Wray's comments, the obvious framework is revealed: Because the Democratic Party has so weaponized federal law enforcement against political opposition, and in turn pissed off a whole segment of society, these partisan mouthpieces are turning it on us, and the narrative is gonna be that it's Trump's fault, vis-à-vis our fault.<br />

</blockquote><span style="font-family: arial;">
On this 246th anniversary of America's independence from tyrannical governance, let us for the first time in 50 years, <a href="https://therightscoop.com/happy-4th-of-july/">celebrate</a> our first right!
</span><blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
While we celebrate this every year, this Independence Day is special because for the first time in nearly 50 years unborn babies around this great country will actually get a chance to breathe the same air we breathe and live! The dark shadow of abortion still lives on in some states, but for much of the country that darkness has turned into light. So while you’re out celebrating with friends and family today, say a special thanksgiving for the Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade and for the President who made it happen.
</span></i></blockquote><span style="font-family: arial;">
And as November rapidly approaches, let us <a href="https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/declaration-transcript">never forget</a> the vigilance and <i>prudence</i> of our unalienable second right exercised to protect the first...

</blockquote><span style="font-family: arial;">
Of course the most peaceful means <i>to institute new government</i> is at the ballot box, albeit minus the corruption we experienced a few short years ago. We must vigilantly continue to secure such <i>just powers from the consent of the governed</i>, not a cabal of elites who wish to rig the system and thwart it.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: arial;">
Prudence has indeed dictated that the protection of <i>Life</i> is absolutely no light or transient cause. It's unfortunate that mankind is more prone to suffer evils we've become accustomed to, rather than to right them. However, by the regenerative Grace of God in guiding our nation's destiny, we can thank Him on this Fourth of July celebration, while continuing to pray for the prudential use of our <i>Liberty</i> towards His Providential guidance this fall in instituting new governance, ultimately benefiting our indelible <i>pursuit of Happiness</i>.</span><br />

Wade, effectively ending recognition of a constitutional right to abortion and giving individual states the power to allow, limit, or ban the practice altogether.<br />
<br />
The ruling came in the court's opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which centered on a Mississippi law that banned abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The Republican-led state of Mississippi asked the Supreme Court to strike down a lower court ruling that stopped the 15-week abortion ban from taking place.<br />
<br />
"We end this opinion where we began. Abortion presents a profound moral question. The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives," Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the court's opinion.

This comes after a rare, historic <a href="https://anebbandflow.blogspot.com/2022/05/the-wrong-that-we-inherently-know.html">leak</a> to <i>Politico</i> of the court’s draft opinion earlier this year, drawing protests from pro-death activists at the homes of originalist justices and even an assassination attempt against Justice Kavanaugh. Here's the decision that overturns prior Roe and Casey rulings!

All exceptional rulings, but this one that came today is a real game changer, and God-Willing a course correction for our troubled nation.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: arial;">
LIFE, our first Declared unalienable right as an Independent people in a free nation, should always be held sacred. With every indication of the progressive Left's reaction, their violence begets more violence, but this was nonetheless the right and proper call. <a href="http://www.numberofabortions.com/?mid=5708452">63+MILLION</a> pre-born deaths since 1973 (19+MILLION disproportionately from the 14% of our black community <i><a href="https://www.lc.org/newsroom/details/052819-justice-reveals-planned-parenthoods-eugenic-history">by-design</a></i>) has been cataclysmic for America's culture, and constitutes nothing short of a holocaust.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: arial;">However divisive and abhorrent, the practice of abortion will still exist. Yet, this ruling now passes the decisions of how that practice is or is not offered back <i><a href="https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/amendment/amendment-x">to the States respectively, or to the People</a></i>, as it should have been all along. And for many of us, our prayer is that this decision effectively ends such a destructive human practice altogether. But for now, on this <a href="https://www.britannica.com/biography/Saint-John-the-Baptist">feast day</a>, ALL Thanks Be to GOD.
</span><blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Almighty God, who sittest on the throne judging right; we bless and thank thee for the courts of justice in this land that thou gavest them wisdom and understanding to discern the truth, and impartially administer the law in the fear of thee alone. We thank thee for the outcome that they have rendered to preserve the unborn in this land. Give grace to our State Legislatures to preserve the life and liberty of all, and to enact laws upon the best and surest foundations, that peace and happiness, truth and justice, religion and piety, may be established among us for all generations. Through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ do we render our thanks and praise, Amen.

Always focused on stripping more liberties away from the law-abiding for the sake of <i>the children</i> we're told, while promoting the abuse of our kids in the public schools with sexual perversions and propaganda, conducting their depraved contraceptive practices that have resulted in a preborn holocaust of inexcusable proportions, or in this latest horror, amassing visceral pleasure from the politicization of 19 murdered children due to what's become more apparent over the course of the week as a combination of police malfeasance, poor school security, and an utter failure to identify a threat.

Missed warning signs
</span></b></i><blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Following a spate of mass shootings in Texas, the Uvalde school district invested in social media monitoring, campus police, and teacher training to prevent future tragedies. These early prevention measures did not flag 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos as a threat, even though he talked with numerous classmates and strangers online about guns and school shootings.
</span></i></blockquote><i><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">
No officer on campus at start of shooting
</span></b></i><blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Despite the Uvalde school district investing tens of thousands of dollars in security and training for an active shooter in recent years, no school police officer was on the scene when Ramos arrived on campus.
</span></i></blockquote><i><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">
A mistaken tactical call and 19 officers waiting nearly an hour
</span></b></i><blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Once Ramos was inside the school, officers made a crucial tactical error and temporarily considered the active shooting stage of the incident over, believing a barricaded standoff would begin instead. As a result, a group of as many as 19 officers stood in a hallway outside the classroom where Ramos was inside slaughtering students, waiting for backup and tactical equipment.
</span></i></blockquote><i><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Stopping one SWAT team, and another going absent
</span></b></i><blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Even once elite reinforcements with gear like ballistic shields arrived, there were delays. ... Specially trained agents with the force’s Bortac SWAT team drove from the US-Mexico border to assist responding officers in Uvalde. ... The group was baffled why local officers told them to temporarily wait, according to the newspaper, and unsure why the Uvalde PD’s own SWAT team was not already on the scene.
</span></i></blockquote><i><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Failing to find a key
</span></b></i><blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Eventually, a group of Uvalde police, federal agents, and county deputies did prepare to breach the classroom where Ramos was hiding. They would’ve done so sooner, but the door into the room was locked... Border Patrol agents were only able to get into the room once a school staff member got them a key, raising questions about whether the school had common security features like a master box of room keys accessible to law enforcement—or whether police thought to ask.
</span></i></blockquote><i><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Keeping parents in the dark
</span></b></i><blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
As all this was going on inside the school, parents were massed outside, where they desperately pled with heavily armed officers to go inside and save their kids. Instead, some were harassed, handcuffed, and tased by police on scene.
</span></i></blockquote>
</blockquote><span style="font-family: arial;">
Some might look to reflect on the degradation of our public servants over the past few years, and how we're left with such caliber of uncertainty, particularly with regard to the brass. Perhaps it's also worth looking at how all the early indicators were missed in an era of censorship and cancellation over political discourse, while missing the real threats to our civilization. Time after time, these lunatics crave an attentive audience and telegraph intentions (no social media head's up to authorities?). While still others wonder why every school in America doesn't have armed, on-duty resource officers as staff members in an obviously more deranged era ever since Columbine. That speaks not only to the questions of mental health in our young Americans, but also their <i>spiritual</i> health of lost identity in a lost culture. Definitely failures on numerous levels with devastating consequences.<br />
<br />
But simultaneously with the reports of the massacre, the Left launch the narrative. It's constantly about the gun for them, and not the twisted mind of the person wielding it. The Left immediately begin their misinformed protest parades, spouting off how <a href="https://reason.com/2022/05/26/uvalde-texas-mass-shooting-statistics-gun-crimes-misleading/">there have been 27 mass school shootings just this year, when there's actually been 13 SINCE 1966</a>, NOT THIS YEAR ALONE. But this fallacy is repeated just like the <a href="https://fee.org/articles/the-myth-that-the-us-leads-the-world-in-mass-shootings/">myth that the US leads the world in mass shootings</a>. Again, FALSE. Facts don't stop their media pundits or political elites from spreading the lies, though, because that might disrupt their narrative on control and shine a light on the actual problem of <i>evil</i>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial;">We as a People must better prepare for it, recognize the indicators, communicate, and be willing to stand up to it without hesitation. It's never gonna be ideal, but the time for mistakes must be over for the sake of our progeny.</span><br />

<br />
A purported first draft of the Supreme Court opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson, overturning Roe v. Wade and its protection of a woman’s legal ability to kill her baby, was leaked by an unknown source to Politico in an all-out attempt to agitate chaos and undermine the U.S. Supreme Court.<br />
<br />
It seems obvious the leak was intended to incite fury with the potential to pressure the justices into changing their final votes, to push Congress to try to <a href="https://twitter.com/JeremyDBoreing/status/1521304307538309120?s=20&t=m4qhwM8m42HY4FBAbmy2fg">codify</a> Roe, and to pressure Joe Biden to rush to pack the court. The justices and their families are now targets for threats attempting to sway their decisions, and the 2020 summer of rage is surely recent in the bench’s memory. Politico as good as <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/02/supreme-court-abortion-draft-opinion-00029473">admitted</a> the leak’s coercive purpose:
</span></i><blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Deliberations on controversial cases have in the past been fluid. Justices can and sometimes do change their votes as draft opinions circulate and major decisions can be subject to multiple drafts and vote-trading, sometimes until just days before a decision is unveiled. The court’s holding will not be final until it is published, likely in the next two months.
</span></i></blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
The Supreme Court is one of the few American political institutions whose authority is still widely and bipartisanly recognized, although Democrat chatter of packing the court last year has already eroded it. Such a leak is an outright attack on the court’s gravity and process, the justices’ trust amongst each other, and the rule of law.<br />
<br />
If you want to find anything in America’s recent political memory that fits the bill of actual insurrection, look no further than this. Undermining the judicial process in such a calculated and consequential way is textbook insurrection, <a href="https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/insurrection">defined</a> by Merriam-Webster as “an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government.”<br />
<br />
Neither speech on Twitter that challenges the regime’s narrative nor the events of Jan. 6, 2021, pose nearly the threat to the legitimacy of the U.S. government that this attack on our highest court of law could.
</span></i></blockquote><span style="font-family: arial;">
A swift investigation and prosecution of the leaker is obviously in order. Will it happen? The cynic in me knows by now the passes that one particular party and its operatives receive over the other by both unelected executive departments and the lapdog media (a real travesty that lawlessness isn't measured the same across all political lines). I hope this will be different, but I can't say that doubts aren't high when a rogue administration currently operates the levers of government.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: arial;">
That being said, there's much larger implications at play here, perhaps hard ones to talk about in our hyper-politicized sensitivities and rabid cancel culture; nonetheless, we need to be honest and confront these things for the <i><a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2022/05/abortion_and_the_evils_of_the_modern_left.html">evils</a></i> they are...</span><blockquote>

Thus, in order to get their way on a wide array of issues — abortion, marriage, LGBT issues, immigration, and the like — Democrats have not had to win elections. They merely needed control of the courts. With right-minded originalists replacing authoritarian leftists on courts throughout America, the left's hold on state and federal courts (<a href="https://www.dailysignal.com/2019/11/06/trump-touts-success-on-judicial-appointments/">much credit to President Trump!</a>) has waned. This is especially true with the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS).<br />
<br />
Given their obsession with sex, among leftists no issues are held in higher regard than abortion and anything related to the perverse LGBTQMYNAMEISLEGION agenda. Sexual perversion has become a sacrament among the modern left, and tens of millions of the most helpless and defenseless among us have literally been sacrificed in the name of "Do as Thou Wilt" in the sexual realm. Because they've been unable to get it done legislatively, much of the American left's agenda accomplishments on these matters have happened via U.S. courts.<br />
<br />
Thus, the American left's vitriolic reaction to the <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2022/05/03/before-finally-overturning-roe-supreme-court-must-block-yet-another-insurrection-attempt/">egregious leak</a> of a supposed SCOTUS majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson — which would overturn Roe v. Wade — should surprise no one. The leak was almost certainly a political stunt intended to intimidate pro-life justices, politicians, and citizens alike. This is what those who have made a god of government do. The left should take note: what the government giveth, the government can take away.<br />
<br />
When one makes a god of government, virtually everything gets politicized. When most everything is politicized, much gets perverted. To keep their evil agenda alive, the left must constantly distort, deceive, and demonize. This was on clear display after the Dobbs opinion leak. ...<br />
<br />
The idea that reversing Roe would end "access to abortion" in the U.S. was a common refrain among the hyperbolic left. As many on the right side of this issue have long pointed out, this is nowhere close to the truth. Even if Roe is finally overturned — because such a decision would merely return the matter to individual states — tragically, throughout much of America, abortion will remain as legal as it is today. Many Democrat-dominated states have been expanding their abortion laws in anticipation of the fall of Roe.<br />
<br />
The anger on display by leftists after the Dobbs leak is revealing and scary. A recent Mollie Hemingway encounter at the Supreme Court was sadly not that uncommon:
</span></i><blockquote>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Keep thinking about an abortion supporter I encountered the other night at the Supreme Court who screamed -- almost as if possessed -- "KILL THOSE F-CKING BABIES!"

</blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Given the wicked Summer of Rage that we witnessed in 2020, none of this should be taken lightly. Additionally, the left is now directly threatening conservative Supreme Court justices. As <a href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/05/05/leftists-direct-protestors-intimidate-conservative-supreme-court-justices-homes/">Breitbart reports</a>,
</span></i><blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Justices John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Amy Coney Barrett, Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, and Neil Gorsuch are all targets by an organization called, "Ruth Sent Us." The organization has <a href="https://www.ruthsent.us/">published</a> the justices' supposed home addresses online for the radical protestors to locate[.] ...<br />
<br />
The website also asked protestors to "rise up May 8-15 and beyond[.] ... At the homes of the six extremist justices, three in Virginia and three in Maryland." The site says the main protest is scheduled for May 11.
</span></i></blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Again, none of this should be taken lightly. We've seen the awful consequences of leftist policies on plain display for years now in the Democrat-dominated cities across America. Arson, thefts, assaults, murders, and the like have exploded where leftism rules and leftists abound. If given enough cover by their allies in the drive-by media and the Democrat party, I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see violence visited upon conservative justices.<br />
<br />
However — <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2022/05/03/john-roberts-cowardice-on-obamacare-is-why-the-left-thinks-it-can-bully-and-extort-scotus/">and let this be a lesson to you, John Roberts</a> — this is not a time for weakness! The left cannot be appeased. It must be defeated — politically, spiritually, and so on. The best defense against leftists' rampant evil is the light of the truth, whatever consequences it brings.
</span></i></blockquote><span style="font-family: arial;">Just as America, through all its struggles, has been the exception in the world when it comes to liberty, democracy and economic freedom, so to has our human experience as citizens of such a unique country given us the exceptional opportunity to lead towards the light of truth and away from the lies of darkness. Though sinfulness is built into our human nature, if we're honest with ourselves, we know inherently that our conscience recognizes right from wrong, light from darkness, righteousness from sin. Just as we all inherently know that this leak is a threat to democratic governance, we also know that the blight of unabated abortion has become unsustainable (to the tune of 63+ MILLION since <i>Roe v. Wade</i> in 1973, and 1.65+ BILLION worldwide since 1980).<br />
<br />
We can be compassionate towards our fellow man struggling through the evils of the world (as we all do), while combating it, turning hearts and minds away from it, and <i>God Willing</i>, extinguishing one of the most grievous.</span><br />

Now the obviously desperate Progressives are pounding the table, demanding that we masses be protected from the scourge of misinformation that's poisoning our minds. Only public statements that are approved for their content by progressive partisans should be allowed to have influence. Hmmm...sounds like censorship to me.<br />
<br />
This romance with censorship is nothing new. Back in the 1970s, after an unusually contentious local election, then–San Francisco supervisor Dianne Feinstein proposed an ordinance that would make it a crime to include a false statement in a political speech. Although I was still a registered Democrat at that time, I couldn't help but wonder what kind of Star Chamber would have to be empaneled to rule on every single political utterance.<br />

Just as the Founders imagined it, no doubt.<br />
<br />
Earlier this week, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told Congress that his agency is creating a "Disinformation Governance Board" to combat "misinformation" coming from Russia as we near this year's midterm elections. The Biden administration's new Committee on Public Information will be led by <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/who-nina-jankowicz-head-joe-biden-disinformation-governance-board-1701677">Nina Jankowicz</a>, "a disinformation fellow" who, perfectly enough, comes to the administration from a think tank named after Woodrow Wilson. Like Wilson, Mayorkas, himself a font of untruths, does not explain under what constitutional power he proposes to oversee speech.<br />
<br />
It gets tedious to point this out, but you can vividly imagine the thermonuclear meltdown the country would be (rightly) subjected to if a Republican president assembled a government panel tasked with weeding out "disinformation." To our technocrats' dismay, this isn't Europe, where the state can dictate allowable speech and sometimes arrests those who don't abide. Here, citizens are the ones who call out the state for peddling misinformation, not the other way around.<br />
<br />
The pro-censorship Left, which is to say the vast majority of contemporary Democrats, now have Barack Obama on board as well. The one-time neoliberal champion of free speech -- a freedom he employed aggressively to mislead the American people when it served his partisan interests -- alleged during a recent Stanford University speech that "people are dying" from misinformation. And, you know, if censorship can save one life ...

...which is as good a segue as any to wrap up the discussion concerning <a href="https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/04/hypocritical_leftists_should_stop_carrying_on_about_misinformation.html">the Left's hypocrisy</a> on this...</span><blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Lurking below all of this is leftists' palpable lack of desire to defend their opinions. As Ayn Rand's fictional John Galt stated in his laying out of Objectivism, mystical ideas are the enemy of civilization. Feelings are supposed to have more weight than logic. Take climate worship, for example. There are forces that we will never understand...that are conspiring to destroy our world...unless we destroy them first by strangling the economic basis for modern life.<br />
<br />
Standing in the way of this impending disaster is that pesky thing called common sense. Humanity didn't make it this far by not being able to make good decisions. Adversity may not be pleasant, but it can be instructive. Add to this the modern facility for the transmission of information. It started with cheap paper and web printing, then radio, and then TV. Now there are the internet, cell phones, and satellite coverage. Bottom line: It's virtually impossible to monopolize information. Hence the panicked demand for what really amounts to censorship from those who've lost their monopoly.

I mentioned earlier about controlling the narrative... keep in mind, half of these guys that I'm referencing throughout this are <i>not</i> conservatives. They are however believers in open, honest, free debate and opinion. When not even a liberal is safe, this is how far the radical left have lurched in their concerted effort towards total control. It's why you've got a guy like Elon Musk who's made to feel like this:

<i><span style="font-family: georgia;">“The truth is like a lion; you don’t have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself.” ~ Augustine of Hippo</span></i>
</blockquote>
<span style="font-family: arial;">In searching for information on the roots of the authoritarian moves and motives experienced over the past few years by, well, every imaginable entity that wields power over us (government, news, finance, business, etc.), I ran across a superb piece from one writer who is frankly <a href="https://www.crisismagazine.com/2022/the-totalitarian-covid-narrative-was-founded-on-tolerance">done with the "tolerance" of the totalitarian covid narrative</a> that it was supposedly founded in. It's also of coincidence that I'm currently reading the brilliant book that this author references!

<br />
None of this is to say that I have ever been an overly tolerant person of things I dislike—I am not. However, I have recently recommitted to my disdain for things I disdain.<br />
<br />
I do not mean to suggest that I believe there should not be a relative level of tolerance. We live in pluralist societies and going along to get along is part of the equation in many cases. In addition, I am certainly not asking our governments to do anything about what is intolerable, as they themselves are the most intolerable of the lot.<br />
<br />
Nonetheless, if the last two <strike>weeks</strike> years to slow the spread have taught me anything, it is that the leftist narrative is a wildly intolerant thing, and—at least in personal lives—there can be no room for much tolerance of the nonsense that masquerades as policy, or expert opinion, or what have you.<br />
<br />
The leftist ethos of our day is intolerant of everything you stand for. They hate your religion, they hate your view of marriage, they hate your view of family dynamics, they hate your view of science, and they hate your view of medicine. Nowhere has this been more on display than in conversations about Covid—ugh, I hate that word at this point.<br />
<br />
When this all started, we were told to “respect everyone’s wishes so they can feel safe.” Okay, fair enough, there is nothing wrong with giving people a little breathing room if they need it. But, after the initial scare in early 2020, it has been clear for anyone willing to take out a calculator and do some basic arithmetic that this thing never amounted to—and would never amount to—a plague of epic proportions.<br />
<br />
No matter, math and reason need not apply when someone believes the narrative, because the narrative is the fullness of truth for someone committed to it—which is ironic because usually someone committed to the narrative doesn’t hold truth in high esteem. So, we sat back while people still held on to the narrative and stayed locked away in their homes.<br />
<br />
Then there was news of a vaccine that would save us all, so we waited a little longer until they had as many doses as was needed to make it safe for us to take a stroll around other human beings. Then we waited a little longer until they had extra doses to be extra protected…then, when everyone was vaxxed to the max, we were told that the vaxxed couldn’t hang with the non-vaxxed…because the vax worked, but not really, but it did…but just not around the unvaxxed…because science.<br />
<br />
At any rate, this rant about the silliness of the ins and outs of the schizophrenic nature of covidian thinking is only to illustrate that it is tolerance that got us here. Again, I do not mean that a basic level of toleration of things we do not like is somehow bad—it isn’t. However, it is tolerance of lies that got us here.<br />
<br />
Rod Dreher may be or may not be your favorite, but the thesis of his book <a href="https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B088F2ZYTV&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_9Y4PQH8P0EDVK9RZKVTN">Live not by Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents</a> is bang on. On our own, it is difficult to do anything about the macro-lies that dominate the corporate media. However, in our own lives each and every one of us confronts a lie to be lived or let-lived each and every day.<br />
<br />
We knew it was silly that grandma or uncle so-and-so wouldn’t come out of their house to see family for six months—in fact, we knew it was a disturbed way to live. We knew it was wrong when they told us to put on masks, which have never been proven effective when dealing with a respiratory virus—especially not when the masks are old rags that hang on our rear-view mirrors. We knew it was a lie that you could ever make a “safe and effective” vaccine within a matter of months, no matter how well intended.<br />
<br />
Nonetheless, most of us resigned to letting certain things go. “So-and-so just needs to do that to feel safe,” “so-and-so just wants to fit in,” “I will just give in to this and that because I need to save my strength for more important things.”<br />
<br />
No!
</span></i></blockquote><span style="font-family: arial;">
After a few what-should-be universal truths -- <i>Christ is Truth, Satan is the Father of Lies, and our own lies are from our hellish self, not our heavenly self</i> -- the exclamation is further rationalized as it only should be...
</span><blockquote><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">
Every, single, time we acquiesce to lies, we run the risk of living by them. It is a slippery slope that can become a veritable cliff if we are not careful.<br />
<br />
How many readers have had the experience of watching a friend or family member descend into a covidian spell only to devolve from a rational person to someone who believes that their vaccine only works if someone else is vaccinated? Can you imagine how confused someone would have to be to believe that their seatbelt did not work if someone else did not wear theirs? Or how off the rocker you would have to be to think that if you had a headache, someone else also had to take an aspirin? The logic of the covidian narrative is no different: masks only work when everyone wears them; jabs don’t work until everyone is jabbed; and we are only “all in this together” when we stay as far from each other as possible.<br />
<br />
If Covid is a serious illness, it is a serious illness of the intellect and an afront to truth itself. This paradigm did not begin with Covid, though. We were primed to live by these lies, or at least tolerate them for convenience’s sake, because we had been doing that for a long time. We have become so accustomed to lies on top of lies as the foundation of our social framework that we were not equipped to stand up for the truth.<br />
<br />
When it came time to tell so-and-so that this plague was not a plague; or that the ear-looped handkerchief wouldn’t stop the plague that wasn’t a plague; or that medications not working unless everyone is medicated was literal proof that they weren’t, well, working; it was too late. We tolerated lies for so long that we became intolerant of truth. I might even go one step further and say that we aren’t only intolerant of truth, but we don’t even know what it is.<br />
<br />
If you never hear something, how can you know that you have heard it when you do? I might say that I am intolerant to hot sauce, but if I have never had it, or if it has been decades since I have, then how can I even be sure that I am intolerant to it if I cannot remember what it tastes like?<br />

The continual toleration of lies is intolerable, as man was created with an intellect and conscience, even if those things become hard to find. Lying creates a lazy and atrophied mind that eventually becomes defenseless. Yes, defenseless to lies, but more importantly, defenseless to truth. ...<br />
<br />
It is the time to be intolerant of lies and to go on the offensive.

"First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen." ~ from Henry Lee's eulogy of George Washington
</span></i></blockquote><span style="font-family: arial;">Though today marks the celebration, tomorrow the 22nd actually marks the 290th anniversary of our <i>first</i> president's birthday, the <i>Father of our Country</i>, the <i>indispensable</i> George Washington. And to set the record straight, today's holiday is <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2022/02/today-celebrate-george-washingtons-birthday/#slide-1">not “Presidents’ Day.”</a> No such holiday exists in law. <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/feb/20/its-george-washingtons-birthday-not-presidents-day/">Contrary to popular belief</a> and the efforts of salesmen throughout the land, no congress nor president has ever changed this celebration (as far too few states across our land still acknowledge that truth). Nonetheless, it is in fact a celebration of George Washington’s birthday.<br />
<br />
There are so many traits to admire about Washington, despite our misdirected woke generation's knee-jerk judgementalism of the past through a modern lens. Given the relentless war on America by our elites, it’s more important than ever to honor our heroes, starting with the man who started it all. So <i>first</i>, let's cover that: <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/feb/19/george-washington-and-americas-liberty/"><i>Washington and America’s liberty</i></a>, because without the first we wouldn't have the second...

<br />
Washington wasn’t just the leader of our War of Independence, defeating what was the greatest military power in the world in the last quarter of the 18th century. Since the Continental Congress was so weak and indecisive, Washington was the de facto head of state from the time he took command of the Continental Army in 1775.<br />
<br />
Before he became our first president, Washington presided over the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Only the love his countrymen had for him could have united the nation — Federalists and Anti-Federalists alike — around the United States Constitution. He saved America once during the revolution and saved it again in its tumultuous aftermath. Washington built America with a sword and a pen.<br />
<br />
Do you like living in a country where the rights of citizens are enshrined in a written Constitution and a method was established therein for popular sovereignty? You can thank Washington. ...<br />
<br />
The “woke” mob hates Washington because it hates America. If it can take him down, it can get anyone. ... He was a slaveowner — a generation that can afford the luxury of criticizing the past by contemporary standards tells us. Slavery was a great evil, and one which existed for most of human history and on every habitable continent. It exists today, in other guises.<br />
<br />
That China has enslaved the Uyghurs didn’t keep it from the honor of hosting this year’s Winter Olympics. The children who sew soccer shirts in Asian factories (some for as little as a penny an hour) are slaves in all but by name.<br />
<br />
Karl Marx (whose writings serve as the basis for the international movement that seeks to destroy America) was a racist and an antisemite, a fact that no Marxist party has ever acknowledged. Marxism itself is a form of slavery. The masses of Cuba, Venezuela and North Korea may not have actual manacles on their wrists and ankles, but their subjugation is just as complete as if they did. An army of Simon Legrees guards their borders to keep the field hands on the plantation.<br />
<br />
A little more than 100 years after the beginning of the war to end slavery in America, the Soviets and their East German stooges built a wall to stop their slaves from escaping. ...<br />
<br />
A nation that allows its heroes to be debunked is doomed. And so, as the 290th anniversary of his birth approaches, let us drink a toast that echoed throughout the land when our republic was young — “To Washington and liberty.” Without the first, we wouldn’t have the second.

<br />Cynics note that Washington was ambitious, but that is beside the point; great men must always be ambitious. A friend and biographer of Abraham Lincoln wrote that Lincoln’s ambition was “a little engine that knew no rest.” What makes a great man in power is not lack of ambition, but restraint. Washington waited for power until he was summoned by the people, and he laid it down of his own accord. In so doing, he set the great republican precedents: Power is given by the people, and it is theirs to give and nobody’s to retain too long.<br />
<br />
Restraint also guided Washington’s approach to the law. The people had adopted the Constitution, and it was Washington’s job to obey it. In his Farewell Address, he <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/george-washington-on-respecting-the-constitution-as-written/">cautioned</a> that “the Constitution which at any time exists, till changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole people, is sacredly obligatory upon all. . . . Resist with care the spirit of innovation upon its principles, however specious the pretexts.”

And to riff off of an MLK line, what was overall remarkable about George Washington was the <i>content of his character</i>, demonstrative of his status as a <i><a href="https://nypost.com/2022/02/20/george-washington-remains-a-role-model-for-all/">role model <b>for all</b></a></i>...

<br />
Born a Virginia aristocrat, he carefully cultivated his virtues — self-control, moderation, civility; his strengths physical and moral — to become the most widely admired presence first in the 13 colonies, then in the new nation.<br />
<br />
He created two American institutions [shaping the US Army and setting the future course of American government itself]... Yet his importance goes far beyond his résumé. It was Washington who emphasized that America was a republic when he rebuked those who wanted a monarchy or an exalted president.<br />
<br />
Likewise, he set the precedent for presidential limits by refusing entreaties that he accept a third term. “Washington’s last service to his country was to stop serving,” writes Richard Brookhiser [in his landmark 1997 book, “Founding Father”]. He was also the only slaveholding founder to free his slaves.<br />
<br />
For all these reasons and more, there was no dissent when Henry Lee famously described Washington in death as “first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen.”<br />
<br /><a href="https://nypost.com/2021/05/31/americans-must-join-hands-to-stop-1619-projects-slanders/">Far-left efforts like the 1619 Project</a> now claim that many Americans have no reason to honor Washington. But far more accurate is the understanding <a href="https://nypost.com/2016/02/14/hamilton-proves-washington-was-a-man-for-the-ages/">reflected in the musical “Hamilton”</a>: One of the show’s most compelling moments is the entry of Gen. George Washington as the American rebels suddenly face 32,000 British troops in New York Harbor.<br />
<br />
It’s not just his dramatic, staccato lines (“We’re outgunned. Outmanned. Outnumbered. Outplanned”), but the fact that the guy playing him is black. The show powerfully, magically, claims America’s founders for all of today’s Americans. The principles they fought for belong to us all.

That last piece also made mention towards the end that unlike other notable presidents, Washington left no memorable lines that we continue to quote today. But maybe that's because far too often they're lost on a modern society that's too caught up in its own inundation of meaningless chaff really. So maybe let's rectify that with a few, shall we? It might become clear to us why he's not quoted more <i>in these times</i>...</span><blockquote><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">"Government is at best a petulant servant and at worst a tyrannical master."</span></i></div><i><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: georgia;">"Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force.
