Some view me as somewhat of a broken record, continually discussing the assault on our liberties, freedoms, and inalienable rights.  Others consider me a conspiracy theorist and alarmist and have disassociated themselves from me, saying I am too extreme. 

I have those who laugh at those charges and say, “Roy is not extreme enough.”  Your opinion of me depends on your preference, position, and worldview.  But I am not the subject; the issues confronting all of us are.  I am just a voice, albeit sometimes I feel like a lone voice.  But, when I get into that mindset, I am reminded of the prophet Elijah, lamenting to God that he was the only one left.  God said, “Sorry, son, but I have 7,000 here who have not bowed their knee to Baal.”  Sometimes, I need that reminder. 

Are our days numbered as the Free Constitutional Republic formed by our Founding Fathers?  Have we become so intimidated by the potential charges hurled at those who dare not march to the politically correct drummer?  Have we become so obsessed with tolerance that we have abandoned reason, conviction, and foundational understanding of the Bible and the Constitution?  Have we willingly checked our freedoms at the door of the fact-checkers, PC police, and governmental activists?  Have we lost sight of the danger and damage doing so can produce?

It is time to press the Freedom of Speech issue and insist on an open, honest, and thoughtful discussion.  The level of censorship we have endured for the past few years should be profoundly disconcerting to all lovers of freedom.  It should cross political party lines and resonate with every American who wants to have what our Declaration of Independence recognized and sought – “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” 

In today’s politically correct WOKE world, the various arms of the federal government are used to investigate, intimidate, and eliminate any who would dare question the ideological and actual pursuits of the followers of toxic liberalism.  That should cause the hair on the back of every American to stand up and should cause concern.  The fact that it does not seem to bother many and is even applauded by some is doubly frightening to this American.

If one suggests that the government is corrupt, they are immediately placed on the watch or hit list of the various federal agencies and bureaucracies.  I recently heard a preacher tell how all his bank accounts were frozen because the FBI was investigating everyone who used credit cards during the January 6^th timeframe.  He had to submit to a line-by-line audit of every item of expenditures and justify them.   Even a bank vice president investigated and could not explain why it happened and why the overreach occurred.  That VP is a Christian and has left the bank over excessive aggression toward anyone questioning the Left’s position.

The government today seeks to quash all reports and facts that expose corruption. They have even been guilty of planting seeds of false narratives to damage the truth and confuse the public.  The media has been complicit.  I do not like false narratives, regardless of which side of the political or ideological equation they come from.  Truth should be our objective, and the freedom to discuss everything, and I mean everything, must be protected.

If one questioned Dr. Fauci and the veracity of the information he, the WHO, the CDC, and the government presented, they were labeled as anything but human beings.  They hated grandma, hated, women, children, ethnicities, and more.  The government’s censorship arm shifted into high gear and did everything possible to silence all who questioned their actions.  We were called kooks, right-wing conspiracists, racists, homophobes, etc.  The names and labels attached to our dissent are almost endless.

When the government has incentivized groups who bury the truth, the need for freedom of speech is exemplified prolifically.  When the claim that the candidate the power brokers wanted to win did not, it was deemed plausible that foreign manipulation was the cause.  If you challenged that, you were silenced in whatever way possible.  There were threats of IRS investigation, descending 501-C-3 status, revoking government contracts, and crippling private enterprise. 

Social Media rapidly became a censoring arm of the federal government and the toxic liberal agenda and WOKEISM.  Our republic was established on recognition and protection of citizens’ inalienable rights.  That ship has sailed for those seeking to control speech, thought, activity, spending, and travel.  For the most rabid of that ideological philosophy, it is “Comply or Die!”  The latter seems to be their preference, and they are no longer satisfied with trying to intimidate; they want to eliminate.

If we do not resurrect the open debate regarding Freedom of Speech, we will soon see the Conglomerate of Censorship entities quash all unauthorized speech.  That is not the United States of America as founded but will be like every despotic regime where the Thought Police are actively monitoring all speech.  

I am not sure whom to credit with this, but I believe it is apropos, “Without freedom of thought, there can be no such thing as wisdom; and no such thing as public liberty, without Freedom of Speech.”  The First Amendment had more than a dual purpose but was at least dual in the reasons for its inclusion.  The founders wanted to ensure that the federal government would NEVER be able to infringe upon religious freedom and to guarantee that the government would not establish a state-sponsored church. 

The clergy was among the most influential, and their advice was the most sought after by our founders.  The founders understood that morality and religion were necessary ingredients to have a stable society.  James Madison’s clarion cry should resonate with each of us.  He said, “The people shall not be deprived or abridged of their right to speak, to write, or to publish their sentiments; and the freedom of the press, as one of the great bulwarks of liberty, shall be inviolable.” 

They also wanted to ensure that the government WOULD NEVER be able to prevent people from discussing issues.  After all, had they not had open debate, they would never have arrived at the consensus required for the American Constitution and our System of Government.  They did not want the government to be granted the ability to quash discussion.  They wanted the public to have the freedom (a healthy requirement) to speak openly about issues of concern they had with the government.  It was considered the lynchpin for continued freedom as a republic.

America, we either protect Freedom of Speech, or we will witness the disappearance of all our inalienable rights.  We must press this issue, make it a public forum, and require all politicians to address it.  If they support the suppression of this Freedom, we must not allow them to attain the office they seek.  Our Freedom depends on our faithfulness to this cause. 

God bless you, and God bless America!

On Memorial Day 2023, I would like to have written an article on the sacrifices and the value of those sacrifices. However, I feel compelled to write something else. Happy Memorial Day, and Never Ever Forget the Sacrifices or be Thankful!

I do not want to be a Gloom & Doom Prognosticator, but neither do I want to bury my head in the sand or somewhere and ignore the issues prevalent in today’s America and world.  I want to be a realist with an optimistic view because of my faith in God.  I want to be pragmatic and take a practical approach to life’s problems and benefits.

We are a deeply divided people.  Saying that makes me Mr. Obvious to some, but it is a starting place to consider the problems and potential solutions we are facing today.  It is imperative that we admit there is a problem.  Failure to acknowledge the divide and the issues resulting from that condition is to doom us to even greater divisiveness and the fruit of the vitriolic hate that it embodies and advances. 

Those exposed to modern propaganda through our educational system, media, Hollywood, entertainment, and failures by the Church to address some basic principles of life are both victims and causes.  I do not want to throw all Millennials and Gen Z-ers under the bus and on the trash heap of life. 

Yet, the reality of being a follower of the modern philosophers of WOKISM and Entitlement is being viewed negatively collectively.  I saw a survey of 1,300 managers who opined that 3 out of 4 of the Gen Z crowd are harder to work with than any other group.  Why?  To find a resolution, we have first to determine the reason.   Those managers said that the issues with the Gen Z crowd are so extreme that they have to fire them more often than any other group.  The percentage of companies that agreed was 65.  That is disturbing.

Many in the work world have lamented that poor communication skills are one of the biggest problems with the Gen Z crowd.  If you use run-on unpunctuated sentences, emojis, and acronyms as your base communication, switching gears is difficult if you have another gear.  Many employers affirm that this younger group lacks professionalism and office decorum.  Many have never been exposed to demands for productivity, and dealing with an office hierarchy is beyond their scope of understanding. 

Unlike previous generations, this new generation of workers fails to grasp the concept that they are expected to do what they are told in the workplace.  They believe they are entitled to not being offended by anything; for some, work and performance expectations offend them.

To be fair, they are not the only ones, and the problem is growing more pronounced with each passing year of governmental subsistence to buy their support.  If it is more economically beneficial to sit on your gluteus maximus than to work, why work?  Hey, if everybody is supposed to have an equal share of the pie, regardless of investment or work, then why not be difficult?  Demand what you believe to be yours.  It is not to be earned but deserved, so stand your ground, right?  (I am being sarcastic.)

As we enter the next electoral cycle, we are in grave danger of enhancing our own destruction by ignoring some real problems and dangers.  Abraham Lincoln, the 16^th President, warned us of the threat of fundamental transformation that politicians and outside influences seek.

He said: “At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected?  I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us.  It cannot come from abroad.  If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher.  As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”

One of the gravest dangers to the survivability of the Republic is those within the government who are implementing policies of destruction and shredding our ability to live free.  I do not mean to make this a campaign speech extolling the virtues of a Donald Trump presidency.  However, some things transpired from the outset of his first bid to become the nominee and president.

He had no sooner announced his candidacy than the Democrats, Media, Establishment, and RHINOs went on the attack.  We were told he was a maniacal lunatic that would endanger our American Democracy.  He would plunge us into nuclear war and destroy our economy. (None of which happened.)  What has transpired under the Biden administration has shuddered our economy, divided the nation more along multiple lines, and pushed us nearer nuclear war than we have witnessed in a long time.

Tyranny is a universal threat to any nation.  The despotic tyrants of history have all been ruthless.  They have all sought to strip the citizens of all rights and subjugate them to subservience.  They sought to strip them of any reasonable ability to defend themselves and advance their pursuit of a better life.  They have all sought to destroy religious liberty and evict God from the public square.  Censorship was the norm, not the exception.

Love or hate him, Donald Trump did not seek to destroy our religious liberty.  He sought to protect it, unlike the current administration.  Our economy was the most robust in decades; it has gone into the proverbial tank in less than two years.  He sought to put America and the interest of the American people before that of other nations, the exact opposite of this administration. 

We witnessed the restoration of America’s position of influence in the world, and our enemies once again feared us and tempered their aggressions.  Today, that has vanished, and like the Obama administration’s legacy, we are no longer feared but often the laughingstock of the nations.  Paper tigers are never feared nor respected.  We must, once again, be willing to speak softly and carry a big stick.  If we allow the drift or push toward tyranny and globalism, we will see our greatest fear come to fruition, and the desired fundamental transformation will transpire.   

However, I refuse to be that negative and focus solely on what is wrong.  I choose to place my trust and confidence in God and the God-fearing of the American people.  I choose to cling to the hope that America’s patriots and those who love freedom and believe in the Republic’s Constitutional authority will overcome their personal biases and unite to see restoration.  Without a miracle of God, it will not transpire in one election or possibly ten, but it can become a reality, and there remains hope in my heart.

We have outside threats, but they pale compared to those from within.  However, those within who are linked to the Chicoms are vigorously working as enablers of a foreign takeover of dominance.  We always have choices, and choices have consequences or benefits.

America, it is time for those of us who are believers in God, the Bible, and followers of Jesus Christ to embrace and implement the directive and solution found in 2 Chronicles 7:13-14.  We must humble ourselves before we are humiliated and humbled by outside forces.  We must pray intercessory prayers, realizing that we are talking about life or death nationally and maybe personally.  We must become seekers of God, giving our total allegiance to Him, and acknowledging our need for Him.  We must reject and turn from evil individually and nationally. 

God’s promise is to help us, pouring in the healing balm that is desperately needed. He promised to forgive our failures (sins) and heal us and our land.  He promised to keep His watchful eye on us and, as Psalm 91 declares, provide us with the protection we need.  I ask that you join me and the millions of people who are so inclined.  It is, effectively, in our hands.  We need divine help, not political wrangling! 

God bless you, and God bless America is my prayer!

That is a valid question in 2023.  So much false information or misinformation is being regurgitated by almost every public sector outlet that many cannot recognize the truth when they hear it.  Drinking the Kool-Aid and repeating the talking points is far easier than thinking, investigating, and logically deciphering the diatribe and rhetoric.  Why think when those in power are willing to tell you what to think? 

I prefer to develop my own beliefs and come to conclusions based on documented facts rather than be told what to think.  I strongly reject the modern Democratic Party’s Platform.  Most of the Democratic candidates have revealed that they are, at their core, anti-Republicanism (not the party but the system of government).  They are anti-Free Market Capitalism and prefer some form of socialism and redistribution of wealth. 

I do not know if they all believe the lies coming down from the higher-ups or if it is their animosity toward Donald J. Trump, conservatives, and those who hold to traditional religious values that have shaped their worldview.  Whatever it is, they vote, talk, protest, and promote the toxic rhetoric and agenda of the globalist leftists.  Their logic is often illogical, and their willingness to ignore documented data is deeply troubling.

I saw something that will not find its way to the MSM and will likely not be discussed in Congress.  It will further the divide between friends and family over the COVID vaccines.  However, at the risk of losing friends and having people who are supposed to be on the same side ideologically, politically, morally, socially, and spiritually turn on me, I must broach this subject.

The FDA has withdrawn authorization for the original COVID-19 vaccines.  At the outset, they acted to make it easier for people to receive the vaccine by issuing the Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) for the original Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.  Those are no longer in effect.  What does that mean?  Much and nothing is my view.

No, they have not removed their approval of the vaccines.  The existing bivalent vaccines (original omicron BA.4/BA.5 strains) are now authorized for people six months and older, including an additional dosage or doses for specific high-risk demographics.

The misinformation or false information in the EUAs was that the vaccines would prevent the disease.  Then it morphed into the theory that it would reduce the risk and minimize hospitalization. Then it became that it would provide long-term benefits for those vaccinated.  All of that either proved to be inaccurate or impossible to document based on the timeframes involved.  We do not know what the end result of being vaccinated will be. 

The Biden administration used the EUAs to issue illegal mandates, which shuddered our economy and jeopardized careers and businesses across America.  Was it necessary?  There is vast disagreement in the medical, scientific, religious, economic, and political sectors.  If the vaccine was ineffective in preventing the disease and the lockdowns were not effectively stopping the spread, why did they not give us the information they had and allow us to decide for ourselves what risks we were willing to take?  Why?  I believe it was more about controlling and testing the ability of the federal government to mandate our daily lives than preventing this disease.

Another area in which we have been inundated with false or misinformation is the planned destruction of Capitalism.  I am very concerned that a significant number of legislators in both parties are on board with Lenin’s strategy.  If I am right, we are in deep trouble, and the doomsday clock has ticked far past what many believe.

The main component of Lenin’s strategy was to destroy the currency, and that would provide a vehicle fundamentally transform society.  Linin detailed his strategy during an interview on his 50^th birthday in 1919.

He said: “Hundreds of thousands of ruble notes are being issued daily by our Treasury. This is done not in order to fill the coffers of the State with practically worthless paper, but with the deliberate intention of destroying the value of money as a means of payment… The simplest way to exterminate the very spirit of capitalism is, therefore, to flood the country with notes of a high face value without financial guarantees of any sort.… The great illusion of the value and power of money on which the capitalist state is based will have been definitely destroyed.”

Inflation is not our friend and certainly not the friend of the Free-Market Capitalism America has enjoyed and employed throughout our history.  Linin and modern Leninists believe that promoting and continuing inflation, even hyperinflation is the best method for the federal government to confiscate citizens’ wealth.  Through that means, they can do it, often unobserved.  Linin believed there was no better way to fundamentally transform a society than to destroy the currency.  Is that what we are seeing today?  I believe the answer is, Yes!

Why do I say both parties are complicit?  If you go back to 1971, when the gold standard was abandoned, we began the journey of destroying the currency.  The insane and immoral spending that has been transpiring for the past fifty years is astounding and incredibly destructive.  It has all been based on myths and lies, and since it either did not dramatically impact many of us personally or we were the benefactors of some of the spending, we turned a blind eye to the problem.  We abandoned our oversight of government and opted to allow the politicians to handle the politics. 

Our national debt has risen from $700 Billion in 1971 to an astronomical $32 Trillion in 2023.  No republic or system of economy can survive that type of debt.  Our money is becoming more worthless each day, and one day the mythical dollar will be exposed as worthless fiat paper with nothing backing it.  When the World Economy rejects the American dollar, America’s economy and many of the world’s economies will crumble like a house of cards.  We do not have the gold or silver to back what we have printed, which will not bode well for our savings, investments, and futures as Americans. 

Linin bragged about his plan in 1919 and destroyed the Russian economy in two short years.  Hyperinflation ensued, and the Russian economy collapsed.  Can we compare that to 2021-2023? 

Linin destroyed the economy, and then he took steps to bolster the economy to bail out Bolshevism.  He enacted the NEP (New Economic Policy) that reinstated private ownership of land and means of production.  In 1928 the Russian economy had somewhat recovered, but the door was now open for massive taxation, regulations, forced collectivism, and mass murder, ending capitalism in Russia.  They confiscated the gold, silver, diamonds, and precious metals owned and possessed by the citizens.

We are nearing a similar situation in America, and we are being lied to constantly.  If we do not rekindle the Spirit of 1776 and restore cognitive reason and critical thinking, we will become pawns of the state and watch America disappear as the greatest nation on the planet.  Our freedoms, all of them, are at stake.  If it does not bother you that you are being lied to, then embrace the coming destruction.  If it does, become bold enough to voice your disapproval and fall on your face before God for deliverance. 

We can be saved, but not without God’s help!  We cannot continue to be sheep led to the slaughter and save America.

God bless you, and God bless America!

It does not matter which side of the political aisle you align with; you might be an Ostrich if you cannot be honest about the present and potential future damage.  You must have your head buried in the sand or where you do not see the light of day. 

That asset becomes a liability when an asset is compromised, whether a business deal or an individual.  It must either be replaced, or dire consequences will likely occur.  We have a compromised person occupying the White House and carrying the title of President of the United States of America.  Biden is not the only compromised individual in Washington, but he holds the most powerful office in America and possibly the world.

Based on the mountains of information available and information hinted at by various sources in DC, Joe Biden is incredibly susceptible to blackmail.  That has opened a dark door for America and threatens our national security, safety, prosperity, and progress.  From the start, he has been a disaster, and his administration’s edicts, mandates, and actions are a clear and present danger to America.

Dating back to our founding, there has been speculation as to what it would mean if the occupant of the Oval Office were decadently compromised.  The speculation was extended to the possibilities of that individual being willing to succumb to domestic and foreign interests.  We are discovering what it means to the Free Constitutional Republic and its citizens. 

Joe Biden and his family’s hands are dirty from graft and corruption.  We have never had a president so compromised and susceptible to blackmail by nefarious entities.  We have had corrupt presidents and administrations, but none so compromised as this one.  The incredible hubris of the Democrats attempting to paint Biden as a moderate is sickening.  I would say laughable, but there is nothing to laugh at; it is dangerous, diabolical, and deadly.

I remember the Leftists confederacy screamed vociferously regarding Donald Trump, “A president openly susceptible to blackmail cannot serve.”  That same cabal is astoundingly silent regarding Joe Biden as they ignore, deflect, distort, and deny his level of being compromised.  I would call it hypocrisy, but it is far more devious and dangerous than mere hypocrisy.

Biden’s closet skeletons prevent him from boldly and needfully confronting China, Russia, Ukraine, North Korea, and virtually any other foreign power.  For three years, China has refused to explain why or how their virology lab in Wuhan was the epicenter of the COVID-19 virus.  They, with no fear, flew a surveillance balloon across our country.  They knew that there would be no repercussions, so why not? 

Considering the developing alliances between China, Russia, India, several African nations, and others, it does not bode well for America.  There was a time when Mexico, Turkey, France, and Saudi Arabia were solidly our allies, but today they are cozying up to China. Why?  Because they see where the true power lies, and it is not in America under this administration.  They are covering their bases, hoping that if all hell breaks loose, they will be on the winning side. 

Joe Biden’s administration has effectively shuddered all of Trump’s policies that were in America’s best interest.  The border is non-existent, the oil and gas industry is damaged so extensively that it will take decades to repair, and the insanity of a WOKE military means we have no real defense against foreign assaults.  I am not demeaning our men and women in uniform who are not adherents of the Leftist ideology and honor their oath of service.

The continuation of Joe Biden’s presidency guarantees that the Establishment and One World contingent will be able to advance their agenda of Marxism and the fundamental transformation of our Republic.  How can anyone think that is good?  China is marching toward global hegemony and, if achieved, will render the USA to the back pages of power in the world.

The policies of Joe Biden’s administration are plunging us toward a never-ending recession.  Recently, Louis Navellier, the man who sounded early warnings about the 2000 dot-com crash and the 2008 fiscal crisis, declared that the Biden policies are virtually guaranteeing a recession that has no end in sight. 

Mr. Navellier believes, with reason, that over the next decade, the American and world economies will suffer irreparable damage due to the Biden policies.  He warns that retirement accounts will dwindle if not disappear, and millions of Americans’ dream of financial security will be a dying wish.  Businesses will collapse, and he believes the coming disaster will be worse than the Black Monday collapse of 1987, the dot-com crash in 2000, and the 2008 fiscal crisis combined.  That is certainly gloom and doom.  I hold to hope, but only because I believe in God!

What many do not know or do not believe is that there is a shadow group that is running the show.  The nefarious group that headed up the Federal Government’s Censorship objective must be exposed.  The State Department’s Global Engagement Center (GEC) funded the development of censorship tools and used government employees to sell the plan to Big Tech.  Money, power, privilege, and free passes always get the attention of the mega players in the financial and technological world.  This was no different.  That is still more of the danger of this administration’s continuation.

GEC developed its Technology Engagement Team (TET) to secure the help and expertise of Big Tech to do its dirty work in suppressing the truth that countered its agenda.  This scheme had several initiatives:  Tech Demo Series, Tech Challenges, Tech Testbed, Techfor and TAP, Silicon Valley Engagement, and Disinfo Cloud.

According to GEC, Disinfo Cloud is “a platform that acts as a repository to catalog an ever-growing list of CPD tools and technologies.”  What does CDP stand for?  “Countering Propaganda and Disinformation.”  It is only available to .mil or .gov users but was later opened to the public.  The Countering of propaganda and disinformation was any information they disagreed with and did not advance their ideological agenda.  So, in reality, it was their tool of propaganda and disinformation while silencing the dissenting voices.  That is what we have under this administration—open and overt attempts to infringe upon our inalienable rights and usurp the Constitution.

It is time to face the reality of where we are and unite in prayer and efforts to counter this destruction and replace the compromised officers of government.  It is time to restore the Constitution to its rightful place.  It is time to return to moral sanity and ethical behavior in public officials.  It is time to return to God! 

God bless you, and God bless America!

I am not disparaging or demeaning those suffering from cognitive mental disorders, but the craziness exhibited in today’s government is beyond belief.  I could cite dozens of examples but let us begin with a few and hopefully cite a couple where sanity seems to be in the mix.   I know that America is in deep trouble unless and until we return to constitutionalism, moral sense, and God. 

Did you hear or read what the current Transportation Secretary, Pete Buttigieg, said in comparing car accidents and shootings?  I am unsure if he is still on maternity leave, but he went on MSNBC and made an astounding statement.  He said that people are constantly dying from automobile accidents.  That would not be alarming, but he said that was happening “at a level comparable to gun violence.”  That would not be disturbing, but he continued, stating that those dying in automobile accidents were “just as racist.”

What?  What in the world are you saying, Mr. or Ms. Secretary?  He asserted that automobile accidents result from “discrimination” against “black and brown Americans.”  Has anyone checked to see what he is smoking?  Of course, he was pandering in saying that.  He was talking to none other than the infamous Al Sharpton.  Pete, there may be some of that, but your comparison is ludicrous.  You are attempting to fan the flames of racial discord, and I believe it is political to its core.  It is an attempt to advance the Leftist agenda of divide and conquer.

The abject lunacy and dangerousness of transgenderism is another evidence of the level of depravity and insanity that is prevalent today in America.  It permeates every sector of our society and is rampant in the political world of 2023.  It speaks to the cultural collapse of our society, and it is not relegated to America but is an epidemic worldwide. 

The educational system is one of the primary vehicles through which it is promoted.  The Department of Education’s mandates regarding this issue and a plethora of other WOKE issues are rendering the education of our children null and void.  In a measure, we are engaged in a Civil War (without guns) in American education.  The anti-American WOKE Leftists have declared war on God, the Bible, traditional family values, true science, and history. 

If one does not ascribe to and embrace their ideological worldview, that person is deemed racist, misogynistic, homophobic, and dangerous to world peace.  There are those who would call themselves centrist who are being driven to embrace the views of those of us on the Right because of the rabid insanity of the WOKE Left, which is the modern Democratic Party.    

I will not use the colorful descriptive adjectives that Donald Trump used about the WOKE agenda. Still, it does place us in a position to navigate the proverbial creek without a paddle.  The stench is more than a little disturbing; the utter destruction of our traditional values and biblical views is under constant assault.

We are going to discover the intestinal fortitude and spine to resist with everything in us, or we will watch as brainwashed Gen Z and Millennials become the educators, and all future generations will be brainwashed and stolen from us, resulting in America’s demise as the Free Constitutional Republic founded in 1776s and beyond.

I believe in education and realize that not everyone can homeschool or utilize private schools.  Therefore, public schools will remain a necessity in the foreseeable future.  The danger is that if those schools remain an indoctrination center to clone WOKE proponents and mindless robots of Leftism, it becomes an enemy rather than a blessing.

The Department of Education released its New Title IX Rule affirming protection of the participation in sports by transgender students.  Simply that means that biological males that are not good enough to compete against other biological males will be allowed to compete against females.  Please do not assume that I am saying women are inferior; they are not!  However, physically they are usually weaker than males.  They may be superior in intellect and other skills, but allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports would be like allowing college athletes to compete against High School or Junior High School athletes.  The level of physical development is vastly different, giving an unfair advantage.

The argument that every student should be allowed to participate in athletics, free from discrimination, misses a critical point.  They are focused solely on the transgender student who is a biological male and ignoring the females to enjoy the ‘full experience.’  Today, we have transgender gangs roaming around, attempting to shut down government proceedings and attacking those who disagree with their agenda.  Riley Gaines, the female swimmer, is an example of the danger posed by those groups.

The Bible clearly states that God made two genders, not an endless listing of wanna-be genders.  God is impeccable in His knowledge, foresight, compassion, love, and perfection.  He created everything, and when He finished, He said, “It was good.”  We have taken what He created and corrupted it incredibly.  He made them “male and female.”  He made the man and woman to have a social, moral, romantic, and physical union that could result in the propagation of the race. That is not possible between two of the same sex.  God was not hesitant or ambiguous about His view of gender and marriage, nor should we be.

Moving on to another example of political insanity is the occupant of the White House, Joe Biden, and his action to parole or release more than a million migrants into the United States via a parole pipeline.   He has released a foreign population of illegals that exceeds the populations of six states.  That is beyond insane; it is diabolical. 

Data analyzed by the Center for Immigration Studies’ George Fishman, a former Department of Homeland Security agent, spoke concerning Biden’s Catch and Release Policy.  Between January 2021 and February 2023, over 880,000 migrants.  In addition to that astounding number, over 75,000 Afghans and almost 120,000 Ukrainian nations have been released into the United States.  The report indicated that Biden had imported a foreign population into the United States that exceeds the population of six states – Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Delaware.  Not cumulative, but of each of those states, his foreign population is greater.

In January and February 2023, the Biden administration released over 40,000; in November and December 2022, over 230,000 were released into the interior.  You could say that the Biden administration and the Left have effectively become a ‘full-service travel agency’ for illegals.  How is that Build Back Better?  Where is the sanity?  Where is the sanctity of the Republic?  Where is the concern for America and Americans who are either naturally born or legal immigrants?  This is destructive and evidence of how far down the shaft of depravity we have descended.

America, we cannot fix this at the polls or politically.  We can help via those avenues, but our only and sure hope is God.  If we do not return to our moral foundations, we will see another generation stolen from us and transformed into a WOKE minion and guarantee that all hope is lost for America as the Constitutional Republic.  We can see America restored if we return to God, the Bible, and moral sanity and refuse to give up or give in.

God bless you, and God bless America!

My title may get the attention of some and infuriate them as they read.  My title is a declaration of what I see as a prevalent problem in 2023 America and much of the world.  I am reminded of a teenage girl in a church I pastored years ago.  She had grown tired of the pressure to be a perfect physical specimen and coined a phrase, “Thin ain’t in, fats where it’s at.”  In today’s world, many seem to be adopting the view that “Love ain’t in, and hate is where it’s at.” 

It has become more fashionable to hate than to love and show compassion.  Both sides of virtually every issue are adopting the attitude that if someone disagrees with their ideological position, it is justifiable and desirable to express hatred for that person.  People seem to be reaching the place where they Love to Hate and Hate to Love.  Hate anyone other than their ideological sect.

The Bible spoke of the hour, which resembles the one we are living in.  I have told congregants in churches that we would come to a time when the Body of Christ had to become willing to die for their faith.  I have warned that we would come to a time when hate would be so prevalent that it would be dangerous to be identified as a Christian.  I believe we are seeing evidence that my predictions and the biblical warnings are accurate.

For decades the debate about God in government has raged, and sadly, too many followers of Jesus sat in silence while God was evicted from the American government.  As that began to transpire, many of our inalienable rights were usurped.  After all, if God and the Bible are anathema to American politics and government, then why would those adherents recognize God-given inalienable rights? 

I am not Catholic, but a statement by a Catholic archbishop is germane.  Francis George, in 2010 said, “I expect to die in my bed, my successor will die in prison, and his successor will die a martyr in the public square.”  He was addressing his view of the growing hate for Christians and Christianity.  There is no doubt that the disdain and hatred for Christianity and the Bible have grown exponentially in America in many sectors. 

The attacks against those of faith have increased, and so has the tolerance and tacit endorsement for those attacks increased.  In a Wall Street Journal poll, the importance of traditional values in America has plunged to the cellar.  That poll indicated that a meager 39% of Americans now say that religious faith is important to them.  In 1998 that number was 62%.  That is disturbing and incredibly revealing of what and why we are in the state we are in today. 

I detest murder!  I detest the insanity and evil that produces mass shootings and often involves children, the most vulnerable and innocent of our world.  I have withheld comment on the shooting in the Nashville Christian Academy, but I now speak.  Not to inflame the debate on guns, although I believe in the second amendment and defend our rights.  What I wish to address is the insanity and hate that ensued from that diabolical tragedy.

The transgender individual, apparently with premeditation, targeted a Christian school with a biblical curriculum and represented Christian values.  That seems to be precisely what this shooter wanted to destroy.  I suppose this person hated Christianity and the Bible because of the traditional and biblical position of two genders (male and female) and that God does not make mistakes placing a person of one gender in the body of another.  The flames of that hatred have been fanned extensively, and the fruit is beginning to be evident.  It is not a good fruit!

The leftist politicians, activists, journalists (sic), columnists, and entertainers all took to the microphones, social media sites, and printed pages to defend the shooter and decry Christianity as the cause of the tragedy.  That is beyond ridiculous and reveals the deep-seated hatred for Christianity and the Bible.  There was no sympathy or empathy for the victims, but they sought to make the perpetrator of the diabolical evil the victim. 

Our founding fathers warned us of the dangers of pushing God and the Bible out of the public, but we did not listen.  Instead of heeding the warnings of many of the founders, the Bible, and moral sanity, we allowed the haters to eliminate everything of God and the Bible from the public square, insisting that “Separation of Church and State” warranted that.  If you remove moral restraint, you invite evil of diabolical proportions.  Edmund Burke said, “When ancient opinions and rules of life are taken away, the loss cannot possibly be estimated. From that moment, we have no compass to govern us, nor can we know distinctly to what port to steer…”

When world leaders can view fire bombings of Christian centers as understandable and even justifiable, it signals our true condition.  When politicians can claim that the domestic terrorism, we have been subjected to is justifiable anger, we are in deep trouble.  Are we going back to the days when the Romans and others used Christians as fodder for lions and their deaths as objects of entertainment for the non-Christian public? 

We have attempted to tolerate the haters, appease the terrorist, and legislate the desired behavior and failed miserably.  America’s moral standing is rapidly dwindling into abysmal nothingness.  We have metamorphosed from being the greatest nation in the world to an immoral morass of corruption and hatred.  We have failed our children ranging from those in the womb to those who are pressed into society brainwashed about God, the Bible, our founding, and absolute truth.

We live in a time when speaking for family values, traditional values, the Bible, and Christianity is deemed a hate crime.  To want to take care of America before we try to take care of the rest of the world is viewed as an abrogation of our global responsibility and rooted in selfishness or white supremacy, regardless of the speaker’s ethnicity.  We have divided this nation to a greater extent than did the issue of slavery in the 1860s.

America’s two chief pillars were the Bible and the Constitution.  We have abandoned or allowed the abandonment of both in today’s America.  That does not bode well for the present or posterity.  The Bible is no longer an anchor in this nation.  Many today view it as a book of myths and fables, outdated, and even misogynistic, bigoted, and narrow-minded.  The followers of God in Christianity who do not ascribe to those views are deemed unworthy of existence, and whatever harm comes to them is justifiable. 

I realize that some reading what I am writing ascribe to the modern view of justifiable hate for Christians and the Bible.  I offer this thought and hope it will resonate with some.  If there is no God, no absolute truth, and we are to base all our decisions on what we deem good for us as individuals, we have effectively contributed to the current calamity.  We have decayed to a place where no behaviors will be too wretched, and no evil will be viewed as unacceptable.  Calling evil good and good evil is a clear sign of depravity so extensive that destruction cannot be avoided.

The Bible nor the American Constitution are outdated. Both are viable guides for our lives and our human government endeavors.  We seem to have replaced order and morality with extreme disorder and selfishness.  When ‘number one’ becomes more important than ‘anyone,’ we will become laws unto ourselves, and nothing will be off the table.  Hate will prevail, and Love will be dismissed to the shadows.  God help us!  

America, we cannot fix this with politics or legislation.  It is a heart, moral, and mental issue that can only be repaired by God and a return to moral sanity.  As a Christian, I call for all who believe in God and prayer to become fervent in their cries to our Creator.  We are destroying ourselves with Hate when Love would heal our wounds.

God bless you, and God bless America!

Yes, I drew the line from Dusty Springfield’s song that has nothing to do with what I am talking about.  For a very long time, the Left has ranted and chided the Republicans and others who say, “Our prayers and thoughts are with the victims.”  They insist that gun control, censorship, and much more are needed because it might save even one life.  However, they are not so concerned when it comes to the life of the unborn or our constitutional freedoms to disagree.

What I am referring to in my title is not those things but the blatant disregard for equal protection or equal prosecution under the law.  I am more than a little concerned for America; I am on my face before God interceding.  I am also shouting from the rooftop the dangers I see and hoping that I will cause some to awaken from the slumber of indifference. 

I am amazed at the power of personal bias and hate.  I should not be, for I have seen it up close and personal in my decades on the planet, felt the fury, and even succumbed to its lure.  We live in a time described in the Bible in places like 2 Timothy 3.  One translation calls it disastrous times.  The characteristics of the people identified describes them as unhealthy lovers of themselves, lovers of money, proud, conceited, boaster, blasphemers, disobedient, rebellious, ungrateful, wicked, liars, addicted to lust, brutal, violent, hateful, and hating God and good.

One of the desires of the founders of the American Republic was equal protection and equal prosecution under the law.  They believed in the ideal that everyone was created equal and endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  They sought to restrain political jurists and limit the federal government’s size, scope, and power.  I can only imagine what they would think, say, or do if they could be here today.

We have failed by living in our ivory towers of indifference.  We have watched while those seeking to fundamentally dismantle and transform our system of government and way of life burn the republic to the ground.  We could have stopped them, but we preferred to be uninvolved, thinking they would leave us alone if we just left them alone.  We were wrong!  Leaving us alone was never part of the plan; controlling us was.

You may detest Donald John Trump, the 45^th President of the United States, enough that you rejoice that he has been indicted on what seems to be incredibly weak charges and even manipulation of the evidence.  Hear me, please.  If Trump or any other politician or citizen commits a crime, they should face the same justice system as you and me.  That includes Democrats and Republicans.  This is not what is happening.

When those on the Left, such as Nancy Pelosi, can say, “He will get his chance to prove his innocence,” we know we are in trouble.  That is not our American system of justice.  We supposedly ascribe to the idea that a person is “innocent until proven guilty.”  In this case and others, it is guilty unless you can somehow prove to a biased court that you are not guilty.  How is that equal justice, and what does that mean for the rest of us?

Someone compared the prosecution of the indictment of Donald Trump with abortion.  At first, I dismissed that, then gave it some thought and extrapolated what it means to the hope of preserving our republic.  When reasoned, logical arguments are discounted or dismissed in favor of preference, bias, and emotion, there is grave danger for all of us.  The republic is damaged significantly when that, is evidenced in the courts, Congress, and the public debate.

We watched as the FBI, DOJ, politicians, and the media insisted that indicting Bill, Hillary, Obama, Holder, Biden, etc., could unfairly influence the elections.  Those arguments are ludicrous.  If there was something the voters needed to see that might influence them and could impact the republic, it needed to be aired out in the courts or public debate.  Now, those same people insist that Trump must be prosecuted because no one is above the law.  What is different regarding Trump?  Could it be that they consider him their greatest threat?

We might do well to recall the often-quoted meme of Martin Niemoller in 1946: “First, they came for the Socialist, and I did not speak out – because I was a Socialist.  Then they came from the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out – because I was not a Trade Unionist.  Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out – because I was not a Jew.  Then they came for me – and there was not one left to speak for me.”

You must know it is bad when the Liberal Network NBC analyst acknowledges that Mr. Bragg is using a poorly written statute to add a misdemeanor to a misdemeanor to make a felony.  NBC’s legal analyst Danny Cevallos acknowledged that in New York, falsifying business records is usually a misdemeanor but could become a felony if it was done to conceal a crime.  It does not specify what kind of crime and therefore lets any misdemeanor be used to elevate the charge to felony status. 

One of Alvin Bragg’s chief prosecutors bragged about giving ‘get-out-of-jail free’ cards to violent felons.  Meg Reiss said, “We know that incarceration doesn’t really solve any problems.”  She argued that the criminals, even the violent ones, were not ‘bad dudes’ and blasted juries for believing the police.  She is a prosecutor.  Wow!  She insisted that the criminals should be afforded the benefit of the doubt.  I do not argue that but what about Trump?  Seems to be a double standard here, and it smacks with politics.

It must not be overlooked that this indictment is timed neatly to push aside all consideration of documentary proof of bribes funneled to the Biden family by China.  There are members of both parties on the take from China and other foreign governments.  Attacking Trump in court enables the media to disregard and discontinue reporting on that Deep State Corruption.  The most hated man in American politics is under criminal indictment, so the others are given a free pass.

If this type of prosecution of former presidents and political candidates becomes the norm, we will watch our entire system go down in flames.  I am not saying we should ignore violations of the law, but we must seek to have legitimate and equal justice under the law.  Mitch McConnel wants no part of the Chinese money-buying influence conversation.  The GOP must address this issue as well as the apparent political bias being used against Trump. 

Only in never-never-land would the Democrats decide to advise Bragg and the other Democratic DAs salivating over the prospects of taking down all conservatives in their jurisdiction to drop the charges!   When pigs fly!  They will go full bore in stripping all semblance of fair and equal justice from our courts and transforming them into political arms to preserve their perch on the seat of power. 

Wishing and Hoping will not solve the problem.  If the politicians are unwilling to address the corruption and abuse of power in Congress and the Courts, the American system of republicanism will crumble.  We are about to enter an era when the courts in Red and Blue states are active political arms of their party.  The ride is going to be very, very bumpy, and the end will not likely produce the desired result.  We need to return to the Constitution, the Rule of Law, and our moral moorings as we seek God.

God help us.  God bless you, and God bless America!
