Pete Seeger wrote a song that was considered an anti-war song which Peter, Paul, and Mary recorded in 1962 after the Kingston Trio had recorded in 1961.  Seeger penned the first verses of the song in 1955 while reading the novel, “And Quiet Flows the Don” which was about the Don River in Russia and the Cossacks who lived along it in the 19^th century who joined the Czar’s army and sang as they marched. 

The lines “Where are the flowers? The girls plucked them.  Where are the girls? They’re all married.  Where are the men?  They’re all in the army.”  As he dreamed and thought he decided that the line “Where have all the flowers gone” would sing and began to write.  He said that his thought was, “When will we ever learn.”  In about twenty minutes the song came to life.  He sang it at Oberlin College in 1955 and one of the students took the song to his job at a summer camp and added two verses, “Where have all the soldiers gone?  Gone to the graveyards every one / Where have all the graveyards gone? / Covered with flowers every one.”  Seeger added his name to the authorship and gave him twenty-percent royalty.

Remembering that song has given rise to my question, “Where Has All the Sanity Gone?”  When it comes to modern politics, especially the ideological offerings of the Democratic hopefuls for POTUS in 2020 it seems to have vanished into thin air.  The illogic of the illogical is never more at the forefront than when watching the Leftists in the New Democratic Socialist Party defend Islam and promote Sharia Law but they target and attack Christianity and the Bible.  Let me predict that Sharia Law will spread like wildfire across America if the Democrats win the House, Senate, and White House in 2020.  You may disagree but that is my prediction and the question that comes to my mind in the immediate is, why would the Democrats support what will ultimately be their greatest nemesis?

Islam and Sharia Law opposes many things that the Left claim to be advocates for.  When I discovered that our federal government funded a national curriculum titled, “Access Islam” I cringed and wept.  That led to anger and sent me to my prayer closet in repentance and with a plea for God to restore sanity to America.  That program is an instruction on how to become a Muslim.  It teaches students how to pray as a Muslim.  It teaches how to perform Islamic “daily worship,” and how to perform the “core duties” of being a Muslim.  We funded that.  Where is the national curriculum on “Access Christianity” or “Access Judaism?”  It doesn’t exist.

When I discovered that a school in California banned all Christian-based books, I was horrified.  The claim was that the school could not and should not allow ‘sectarian materials’ on their state-funded and state-authorized shelves or classrooms.  Seriously? Then you allow the ‘sectarian materials about Islam” in?  How’s that for hypocrisy?  You allow materials that seek to normalize the LGBTQ agenda and lifestyle, but the Christian lifestyle is taboo?  You seek to mold kids as early as pre-k in the liberal leftist’s ideological mold but ban anything of the Bible or with a traditional family orientation.  But you claim that you are protecting against ‘sectarian views.”  So, my question resurfaces, “Where Has All the Sanity Gone?”

The Democrat-run state legislatures and city councils, as well as the national Democratic Party, have followed their leader Barack Hussein Obama in promoting Islam and attacking Christianity.  Do you remember the former Attorney General Loretta Lynch threatening to “jail” anyone caught speaking badly about Islam?  When did she say that about any speaking badly about Christianity or Judaism?  She didn’t!  She was following her marching orders of the Mr. Obama the man who had said, “If the political winds go sour I will side with the Muslims.”  The man that went on a world tour decrying American exceptionalism, praising Islam, and defaming Christianity.  The man that has insisted that he is not a Muslim but a Christian.  Wow!  With friends like that who would need an enemy? 

The followers of Islam and the proponents of Sharia Law have a mandate and track record of targeting homosexuals, abusing women, and calling for violence and even death to anyone not adhering to their religious and governmental edicts.  Those desiring Sharia Law to supplant the Constitution will, if they gain power, turn on the Democrats just as they will on everyone else not converting to their religion.  The violent religion that claims to be a religion of peace! 

The National Democratic Party is so thirsty for power and control they attempt to use blacks, women, homosexuals, and Muslims as their useful idiots to advance their ideological agenda.  Remember when the media insisted that anyone opposing the Obama agenda was a racist?  I do!  If Hillary Clinton had won the Presidency, any opposition to her policies and agenda would have been deemed sexist.  If the homosexual, Mayor Pete Buttigieg were to win the White House any opposition to his policies would be branded homophobic.

I suggest that people need to be very careful about what they wish for, they might just get it.  We need several revivals in America and one of them is a “Revival of Critical Thinking.”  People, too many people, tend to drink the Kool-Aid offered by the media and their political party without engaging the cognitive part of their brains.  The myriad of illogical offerings the current slate of Democratic candidates for POTUS are so mind-numbing I tremble when I think about them.  Their devastation would be so complete that we would likely never recover as the Free Constitutional Republic our Founders and the Framers gave us.

The quest for Socialism where everything is free, and nobody has to work is lunacy.  The idea of allowing the federal government to control everything is beyond insane.  The insistence that it is inhumane and immoral to have a border is beyond ignorant.  The view that it is the government’s right and mandate to tax, tax, tax to provide freebies for whomever they choose is beyond counter-productive it is destructive.  The desire to transform America from the Constitutional Republic into a Direct Democracy is a death wish even if those promoting it cannot see that eventuality. 

When a society reaches a place that it calls evil good and good evil that society is in grave danger of destruction.  A society that becomes a gathering of snowflake mentality where no one is allowed to be offended or offensive, unless of course, you are a Conservative or a Christian, is so rooted in senselessness it can be defended by no rational thinking person.  America, we are at a tipping point and if we fail to restore Sanity we will watch the systematic and complete destruction of our Republic.  I hope you can see that and join me in praying for America and voting No on this lunacy in 2020.

God bless you and God bless America!

One of those declarations concerns abortion.  I keep hearing that abortion is about women’s health and a woman’s right to choose.  That may sound plausible, logical, and even compassionate, but it demands other questions be asked.  I hope you will give me a moment to pose my questions and offer my conclusions.  You may agree or disagree, that is your right.  You may feel I’ve gone too far or not far enough, that is your right.  You may have no conflict between your Christian faith and abortion, even abortion on demand, but I do.  So, with that in mind, let’s proceed.

The resistance of those of us who are pro-life has been labeled a ‘war on women,’ by the pro-choice advocates and liberal leftists.  Recently the pro-life film, “Unplanned,” was released and has had some commercial success.  The Georgia legislature joined a growing number of states in passing bills that prohibit abortions after a fetal heartbeat can be detected.  The attempted actions of Virginia’s governor to legalize infanticide and the actions of the New York state legislature to legalize late-term and post-term abortions are more than a little troubling.  One question, a question, that was not part of my initial planned discussion is, “How depraved have we become as a society?” 

Planned Parenthood has trashed the film and the actions of Georgia and the other states that have taken steps to protect life in the womb claiming this is a ‘war on women.’  Planned Parenthood has a proven track record of being little more than an abortion mill and invests itself heavily in targeting minority communities, the poor, and the ill-informed.  Why is this push for euthanasia and infanticide being so devotedly advanced by the Left? 

I wonder if those in the pro-choice movement who are claiming that opposing abortion is somehow a ‘war on women’ have studied history.  I find it more than a little ironic that the champion of women’s rights and the first female to break the barrier of male dominance in medicine, Susan B. Anthony was an ardent opponent of abortion.  Those who were truly freedom fighters for women in our history opposed the position that feminism, liberalism, and leftism has taken us in America today. 

Susan B. Anthony believed that abortion was the exploitation of women. Imagine that!  She and other women in her army of freedom fighters, especially in the world of medicine and healthcare believed it was their obligation to humanity to protect women from the “gross perversion and destruction of motherhood by the abortionist.”  

Susan B. Anthony believed that women could be liberated from the laws of men by appealing to a higher tribunal, God.  She said: “She must feel herself accountable to God alone for every act, fearing and obeying no man, save where his will is in line with her own highest idea of divine law.… When the mother of Christ shall be made the true model of womanhood and motherhood, when the office of maternity shall be held sacred and the mother shall consecrate herself, as did Mary, to the one idea of bringing forth the Christ-child, then, and not till then, will this earth see a new order of men and women, prone to good rather than evil.”  Wow!

Those in Anthony’s army of suffragettes coined a term for abortion that would infuriate the liberal leftists of today and have Anthony and her co-laborers for women’s rights banned from their society.  They called it “foeticide,” and wrote articles and books on the subject of “Child Murder.”  They considered the terms, “abortion”, “murder,” and “infanticide” synonymous and that too would infuriate those following this ideology of ignoring that life in the womb and any perceivable rights of that unborn baby.

Today, every Democratic presidential hopeful, is a strong advocate of abortion, late-term abortion, and abortion on demand.  There is a view that is seldom discussed that is so reprehensible to me that I cringe when I think of it.  It is called “Evictionism”.  It is a misguided theory claiming to be a moral position advanced by Walter Brock and Roy Whitehead and advanced the political idea that abortion was basically ‘property rights.’  That’s right, “property rights.”  Does that get your attention?  It should and should make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and send goosebumps down your arms and spine.  I feel a chill just thinking about it.

This theory was erected on the premise and belief advanced by philosopher Murray Rothbard who wrote, “no being has a right to live, unbidden, as a parasite within or upon some person’s body.”  What?  That baby in the womb is considered a parasite and unbidden.  No, it is not unbidden because the woman and some man engaged in coitus in a manner conducive to reproduce.  That is not Unbidden it is Invited! 

The theory was that since this parasite (baby) in the womb is unbidden the woman has the right to ‘evict’ or ‘eject’ the baby from her body any times she chooses.  They view the mother’s womb as her ‘property’ and the baby in the womb as a ‘trespasser or a parasite.’  Wow, what human compassion.  With that kind of mentality coming from those who demand that we must protect the lives of blacks, homosexuals, and a myriad of other groups I must ask, “Is selective protection what you believe in or do ALL LIVES MATTER?”

I don’t want to misrepresent their theory and belief because they do hold that life begins at conception but have also suggested that a woman has a right to evict the baby but can only legally abort on certain conditions.  If the fetus is not viable outside the womb, or…  The woman has publicly announced her abandonment of the right to custody of the fetus she can, in their view, abort at any time!

They suggest that if the woman does then, no one else has the right to ‘homestead’ that right by offering to care for the resulting baby.  I cringe when I hear that because the second part of that equation negates the first and makes it meaningless.  This view holds that the baby in the womb is to be treated like laboratory animals with no emotional attachment or concern for that innocent human life in the womb.  That, to me is diabolical!

I must ask, “How is the position of ‘Evictionism’ different from the abortionists who desire to give people the right to an abortion at any time during the pregnancy?”  You may believe me to be overly dramatic and claim that my convictions on this matter are misguided, that is your privilege. 

However, I must ask, “How is it a war on women to seek to protect innocent lives both male and female in the womb?”  There is an alternative to abortion and it is adoption!  Yes, the mother would still have to carry that child to term.  That is part of the problem, too many don’t want to be inconvenienced or experience any discomfort but want to do the dance without paying the fiddler.

This is another of the many reasons I cannot support the National Democratic ticket.  I am adamantly pro-life and believe that life is sacred, and the innocent must be protected.  I believe that our drift in this area leads to the euthanasia and selective genocide by the would-be gods of society.  I beg everyone to consider the life in the womb and if you don’t want a child please consider the thousands of couples that would love to have a baby but cannot.  They would gladly help defray or pay your expenses and love that child. 

God bless you and God bless America!

How’s that for an indictment on a generation or society?  But, what society and what generation am I talking about.  Yep, you guessed it, ours today!  There are so many things that cause me to think and say that so let me address a few of them and you decide if I am right or not.  After all, in matters of opinion, each of us is the final judge.  No, what we think does not make it right, but it is our opinion and we make the determination of what that will be.  So, I offer my opinion along with some pertinent facts of historical significance and you decide what you believe. 

One of the more recent things that made me laugh, grow angry, and then weep for our present world and America was in the actions by the New York Yankees baseball franchise to stop playing “God Bless America” by Kate Smith.  The Philadelphia Flyers hockey team has done the same thing.  In fact, in the city of Philadelphia, the statue of Kate Smith has been covered in black to hide her image because the Politically Correct world has deemed that she was a racist. 

What was the basis of this charge of racism?  You may find their charge palatable, accurate and appropriate or you may consider it overreaction and unjustified.  It may make you laugh, get angry, or cry but here it is.  Kate Smith’s 1939 recording of “God Bless America” has been used by the Yankees and Flyers for a very long time.  It was somewhat iconic, and the fans loved it.  Today they are using a different version because the report is that Smith ‘might have been a racist.’  Might have been?  Yep, that’s the assertion.  Not that she was but might have been and that’s enough for the Politically Correct world that we live in to try, condemn and execute anyone.  Sound familiar?

Kate Smith recorded a song prior to WW II, which has also been sung and recorded by blacks and whites.  The song which caused her to earn the brand racist was, “Pickaninny Heaven.”  Was it racism that caused her to record the song?  Could be, I don’t know.  She also recorded, “That’s Why Darkies Were Born.”  Others including black performers have sung that song.  Then, the final straw was the revelation that in 1939 she endorsed the “Mammy Doll.” 

The songs clearly have a racial overtones and are easily offensive to many and rightfully so.  But, to attempt to sanitize history and punish a previous generation for not thinking like we think today is ludicrous.  What bothers me is not the decrying of any racist actions of anyone past or present.  What bothers me with regard to today’s society is the tendency to judge the entirety of a person’s life by an action or two that we deem unacceptable. 

Kate Smith lived in a time dramatically different from our day.  She raised huge sums of money during WWII selling war bonds and was active in the fight to defeat fascism.  She traveled countless miles to cheer up our American Servicemen when they needed it desperately.  Does that excuse racism?  No, but if we are to be consistent should we not examine people like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and every Democrat in our history who has engaged in some unbecoming act?  I guess not.

My problem is that anytime the word “racist” or “racism” is hurled at anyone the racialist slobber like Pavlov’s dogs and march to the sound of the bell to destroy.  The attempt to sanitize our history and rewrite it so that there is no mention of the offensive is to invite disaster.  The snowflake society we are creating is hurling along a path of cataclysmic destruction and such emotional trauma that there will be few functional adults left in the world in just a generation or two. 

I decry racism regardless of where it comes from.  If we purge from our music everything every singer has performed because of something in their past, how many songs or singers will we have left?  If we disqualify from serving in any political office every candidate that has anything questionable in their past, what will we be left with? 

If we strip from our history books the true record of our American history, the good, the bad, and the ugly, how will we avoid previous mistakes when those taking the reins in the future will be unaware and uninformed?  We should learn from history and accept that fact that no human being is perfect.  No, I am not justifying racism, but I am asking that we stop being moronic in our attempt to sanitize our world and make it like we would like it to have been.  Let’s learn from our mistakes, admit our failures, and advance the cause of humanity as only we can if we are aware and informed.

We have many difficult and pressing needs in 2019 America and many of those needs and conditions are being ignored while we pursue an almost McCarthy like assault on anything our Politically Correct World believes to be offensive.  We are allowing our border to be erased and a literal invasion occurs endangering Americans and America on multiple fronts.  We are allowing the systematic dismantling of our electoral system, the corruption of our intelligence and federal law enforcement agencies, the weaponizing of various bureaucratic agencies and more.  Those things seem to not bother a large sector of our society, but Kate Smith must be removed as were the Civil War memorials. 

What’s next?  I suggest that if the Socialist on the Democratic side of the aisle wins many of our historical heroes including Jefferson, Franklin, Washington, Adams, and our Generals for WWI and WWII may become likely targets.  What kind of history will we have if even our Revolutionary leaders are purged from our history by this educated but often moronic society?

America, we need to awaken from our stupor and realize that no two of us are alike.  We do not think alike when we actually think.  We do not have the same preferences.  We are not touched emotionally, intellectually, morally, or spiritually by the same things.  We are individuals in a Republic built to allow that and designed to guarantee that we could continue that way.  It is Totalitarian to insist that everyone fit the mold prescribed by the government and no one is permitted to be different, think differently, or embrace different views. 

You may think, I am overreacting to the Kate Smith situation, but it is one of many events that have transpired in recent years and I suspect it is just the tip of the iceberg of destruction.  Our educational system has been more of a propaganda arm of liberalism than it is about expanding the mind and developing independent thinks who can engage in critical analysis, logic, and reason.  Yes, I stand by my statement that this generation is possibly, if not definitely, the most educated and the most moronic of any time in our history.  I fully expect a Salem style Witch Hunt to transpire as the PC Police search for offenders of their ideological preferences.  Watch out America this is not a fantasy it is real.

God bless you and God bless America!

I have grown frustratingly weary with the incessant diatribe and inane rhetoric of the Left and some Republicans that the border situation is a manufactured crisis and not worthy of our time to consider.  They are wrong!  Ronald Reagan said, “A country that cannot control its borders is not a country.” I keep hearing the argument that we are all citizens of the world and therefore borders are immoral.  I disagree on so many levels it would take a very thick journal of thousands of pages to enumerate my reasons.  I will exercise restraint and not make that attempt, for even if I did, I would miss some poignant points.

Our Border Patrol and ICE Agents continually sound the warning that our border situation is critical and dangerous.  The commissioner for the Border Patrol and U.S. Customs, Kevin K. McAleenan declared to an audience in El Paso, Texas that our immigration system has reached a ‘breaking point’ due to the ‘unprecedented humanitarian and border security crisis along our Southwest Border.’  Imagine that!  El Paso native and current Democrat hopeful to become President insists that there is no border crisis and especially not in El Paso.  The facts do not support Mr. Robert Francis ‘Beto’ O’Rourke, but he continues to flail his arms and make is fallacious claims. 

Most of the citizens of El Paso, Texas know that Mr. O’Rourke is terribly wrong and that Mr. McAleenan is disturbingly right.  At this juncture, the first quarter of the year 2019, more than 36,000 migrant families have arrived in the El Paso border region compared to 2,000 at the same time in 2018.  That is 18 times as many.  It is an increase of such epic proportions it should alarm everyone including those on the Left, but the media, politicians, and other activists dismiss it as inconsequential. 

The number of unaccompanied children (those under 18) has risen from approximately 1,300 last year to over 5,000 this year.  There were over 1,000 migrants taken into custody in El Paso in one day.  A large group simply walked across the border and turned themselves in.  Why?  If they were trying to sneak in, why would the surrender themselves voluntarily?  Why?  The answer is our ‘broken immigration system’, much of which can be attributed to the former President Barack Hussein Obama.  Please understand, I do not blame him totally because the George W. Bush and Bill Clinton administrations contributed to the problem too.

Border apprehensions were expected to exceed 100,000 in the month of March alone!  The April 9th report by the CBP is that we have seen an increase of 370% compared to 2018. That is not sustainable and could rightly be called an invasion.  The Border Patrol agents and the facilities are taxed to the limit.  The needed manpower and infrastructure including medical and detention facilities are inadequate.  The Democrats in Congress have no desire to alleviate the problems faced by our agents but contend that this is a minor issue.  They insist that all those people coming here illegally are simply looking for a better way of life and deserving of immediate and unrestrained entrance into our Republic. 

But back to the question of why they would voluntarily turn themselves in?  The answer lies in our ‘broken system’ and the standing policy advanced devotedly by the former president.  By law, those families who cross the border and declare they are seeking asylum are given a document with their court hearing date on it and released into our country.  That’s right, they simply walk across the border illegally, declare themselves to be seekers of asylum, and they gain free access to America!  Why not come illegally?  Why wait to go through the long and tedious process of legal immigration?  Why wait, when you can gain immediate entry by breaking our laws?  That is a preposterous policy and law, but it is where we are today in America.

What a wonderful world and situation for those seeking to gain free entry into the United States.  The migrants, the smugglers, the terrorist, and the cartels all know our legal vulnerability and are taking advantage of it.  The actual court appearance of those declaring for asylum will be years down the road, if ever.  They know it!  Even if their court date arrives there is a very large percentage that simply ignores the summons, and nothing is done.  They know this too!

Who do I blame for this situation?  Those coming here illegally?  Not entirely.  I don’t blame them for seeking to come to a country where they can be given government entitlements or find an avenue to achieve a better life.  I do blame them for breaking our laws. But, who do I blame?  I blame Congress!  I blame the politicians of all stripes!  I blame the liberal judges that have joined with Congress to cut legal holes in our border fence and effectively erase our Southern Border!  I blame the sanctuary cities and states that encourage illegals to come and give them protection and cover!  Sadly, many legal citizens become victims of crimes committed by those illegals in those sanctuaries, but to the liberals, those people are collateral damage and nothing to be overly concerned about.

The Left sees those illegals as a potential voting bloc for the Democrats and one of the reasons, if not the main reason, they support open borders.  The Left is using every tactic they can muster as they attempt to subvert our Constitution and gain inordinate power and control.  Power and Control are their real objectives and define their endgame. 

America, we either control the border or we pay the price of the destruction of our Republic.  If we continue the pathway of allowing illegals to gain legal entry, invite immigration without assimilation we will achieve the desired “fundamental transformation” advocated by Barack Obama and those of his ideological ilk.  I am in favor of legal and justifiable immigration, but not blanket amnesty and the current travesty revealed in our immigration laws.  We either need to demand Congress fix this or fix Congress by replacing those failing to do their jobs.

We must keep our eyes focused on the 2020 elections.  We must keep our eyes on the prize of the Free Constitutional Republic.  We must reject the snake-oil propaganda advancing the call for Socialism.  We must stand firm in our defense of America and fight for Faith, Family, and Freedom!

God bless you and God bless America!

What revolution are you talking about, Roy?  The Democrat Leninist-Marxist Revolution of the Fundamental Transformation of our American Republic into a Grecian-style Democracy or a Socialist Tyranny or both.  I have said it numerous times and had people respond with charges that I am nothing more than the little boy crying wolf and a conspiracist!  I believe that I am neither, but that is a judgment you must make for yourself. 

The oft-parodied slogan, “If You See Something Say Something” is woven into the fabric of my sensibilities.  I also believe in the biblical directive God gave Ezekiel to “warn the wicked” and “warn the people” of impending danger and wrong.  I believe that I have a duty, an obligation, and a moral mandate to do just that in life and that includes politics.

There is a discernable parallel between the New Democratic Socialist and the Bolshevik takeover in Russia that formed the USSR.  Those seeking power today in America and those in power within Russia differed very little in their ideology. The Democrats, presumed to be moderate and those on the far left differ very little.  Democrats, nationally, are Liberal Leftists Socialist Globalist and are chained together in a quest to wrest all power and control out of the hands of any opposition and Rule with their Iron Fist of Totalitarianism.  That may cause angst and even anger in the hearts of some but look at what is happening in America and tell me there is no concerted effort to alter who we are and transform us into what we were never intended to be.

Vladimir Lenin rose to power on the strength of an incredible lie and the fantasy of the collectivist.  He succeeded in forming and bringing to power the Communist Party dictatorship, which ruled with their Iron Fist for at least seven decades.  Lenin was a Karl Marx acolyte and his lie and that of the Bolsheviks is little different than the distortion of the New Democratic Socialist or Democrat Party today.  Those in power, like Lenin, do not believe in the Socialism and Collectivism they preach.  Lenin owned a Rolls-Royce and lived in luxury as do many of the purveyors of the Democratic Platform of today. 

The War that is being waged in America is a pincer movement in many ways and the complicity of the RINOs is dangerous and destructive.  That is another reason to purge from the ranks all the RINOs as well as those following the toxicity of the liberal agenda of the Democrats.  They are waging war on our American heritage, values, and freedoms.  One of their foremost battlefronts is ‘class warfare.’  

They learned in studying Lenin and other Communist tyrants that the most successful way to gain control is under the guise of fighting for “the people.”  That is the claim but what they are doing is ‘enslaving the people’ in their regulations and confiscation of rights and property.  Yet, millions are like the proverbial frog in the pan of water and are failing to realize that the temperature is being elevated to boiling and destruction.

The Democrats are selling an elixir which they insist will cure all the ills of society. They claim their ideological agenda will make the playing field level for everyone regardless of ability or effort, and provide endless freebies without out negative side-effects.  The image they seek to conjure in the minds of those not truly using the cognitive brain power and exercising rational reason is that there is an ‘endless supply of funds’ to facilitate their objectives and promises.  Any third-grader should know that is illogical, but those addicted to ‘government freebies’ and ‘entitlements’ do not think, they keep their hands out and their mouths open for more and more.  The idea and ideal of ‘earning’ what you have and ‘personal responsibility and accountability’ are anathema to their ideology.  God help us!

The assault on this president is unprecedented and something I have never witnessed in my life.  As bad as many on the Right thought the former administration’s policies were and the corruption of both the man and many of his associates, we did not take the current path.  I guess losing an election they thought impossible to lose and the impeding of their objective to complete the ‘fundamental transformation’ was too big and too bitter a pill to swallow.  Of course, there is more to it than that.  They are far less concerned about Donald Trump’s supposed collusion with a foreign government to steal an election than the loss of power.  Power is the opiate of Tyrants and Oligarchs and the New Democratic Party is filled with those who would be both.

The Democrats have shifted away from any semblance of moderation and compromise.  Their obstructionism has fueled riots, hate crimes, paranoia, phobias of numerous kinds, and created an impasse that could lead us to bloodshed in the streets of America.  That is disgusting, dangerous, and diabolical!  It is not done on a whim but has been a part of a planned and organized assault on the Republic and our Freedoms!  Doubt me if you please, but if you actually pay attention you will know there is validity in what I am saying, and the warnings are not to be taken lightly.

There is a War brewing within the ranks of the Democratic Party. Those who are called centrist are not dramatically different from those who are extreme leftists they struggle for power and control is ensuing.  Will that bode well for them in 2020?  Time will tell, but if the Republicans and President Trump are smart and they will use the ideological travesties of the Democrats and it will mean defeat for the Leftists.  However, if history is an indicator of the future, the Republican Establishment will fight Trump every step of the way and fail to fully get behind him and fail to focus on the Democrats failed policy offerings.  I pray that will not be the case!  America is too valuable a prize to allow infighting to destroy us. 

What could happen to the Democrats nationally if we work, pray, and encourage our elected officials to be smart and effective?  They could be soundly defeated. We must remember that political evil is readily apparent in today’s America and political evil comes in many forms.  However, the endgame is always the same: evil rulers rule the people while living lives of lavish luxury unaffected by the plight their policies inflict on the populace.  They promote Socialism while living lives of benefit from Capitalism.  They will not be affected by shortages, delays, or denials in healthcare nor suffer from the impossible burden of taxation and regulation.  They are Rulers and we are their Servants if they get what they want.  How America cannot see that is beyond my ability to comprehend.

I pray that the War within the factions of the Democratic Party will result in the irreparable fracturing of that Party.  If they lose, and I pray they do, they will cannibalize those not adhering to the Toxic Liberalism of the Leftists Socialist of the New Democratic Party.  If that happens they will be relegated to the ‘trash heap of history.’  Sadly, that will not solve America’s problem because a new entity will arise like the Phoenix from the ashes and the ugly head of the diabolical toxic liberalism, socialism, and globalism will win the hearts of the disenchanted. 

My conclusion is that there is a war within the ranks of both parties and there is a war by those on the Left against most of our foundational institutions including marriage, the right to life, the right of personal property, and all of our Liberties and Freedoms.  What can we do?  My approach is largely unchanging.  We Pray!  We Pray!  We Pray!  Then after we have Prayed we Work, Work, Work!  We become Involved!  The luxury of being a spectator in today’s world is no longer an option.  If we Spectate we Disintegrate as a Society!  How much is your Freedom worth to you?  That’s how involved you should be!

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

I believe that there are a few people in the bureaucracy in Washington, DC that truly want to do the right thing and have a smidgen of integrity.  How many?  I have no idea, and probably not as many as I hope, but I see signs there are some.  What has sparked this revival of Hope in my heart?  There are several things and one of them is the apparent willingness and intent of the Attorney General William Barr to investigate the origins of the counterintelligence operations against the Trump campaign and Trump himself. 

Immediately, there are and will be cries from the Never Trump crowd, the Democrats, the RINOs, and those who are so incensed, angry, and exasperated that he is the President that this is Barr being Trump’s lapdog.  I don’t believe that, based on numerous things and one is his track record prior to being nominated. He has demonstrated that he is his own man and not owned by anyone including the man that tabbed him for the position. 

Before you scream that unless the full unredacted Mueller report is released he is not to be trusted, can I ask you if he should follow the law?  You want him to be the top dog in the Law Enforcement world in America, but you also want him to act as James Comey, James Clapper, John Brennan, and a myriad of others and ignore the law?  Seriously? 

The mountain of evidence the FBI had to have discovered very early in their queries into the boastful claims of Carter Page in Russia that he had Trump’s ear cannot be overlooked. I can see why the intelligence community would be concerned and couple with that Paul Manafort’s business dealings with Russian corporations and they were justified in initiating an investigation.

However, once they discovered that this was a nothing burger, they should have ceased and reported that to the American public.  Why didn’t they?  If it wasn’t political, I have no answer.  If it wasn’t to do a measure of CYA thinking that Hillary was a lock to become president, I don’t have an answer.  The revelations that have surfaced indicate that both those possibilities were involved as well as their incredibly left-leaning political views.

Attorney General Barr has indicated that the Department of Justice would also investigate the process used by the FBI to secure a FISA surveillance warrant against Trump and Carter Page.  I say, “It’s about time!”  Hey, I have said before and say again, I don’t care who is exposed in corruption so long as it is an honest pursuit of the truth and both sides of the political equation are investigated with the same resoluteness.  That clearly has not been the case and that should be investigated and the guilty exposed to the world and held accountable legally, ethically, morally, and politically. 

The FBI clearly knew very early that the Steele dossier was a product of a person incredibly biased against Trump and was bought and paid for by the DNC and the Clinton campaign.  I am concerned about Russian interference in our elections, our military intelligence, our economy, and anything other aspect or sector of our society.  I am concerned about China, North Korea, Iran, and a myriad of other players on the international scene.  All pose a national security threat and we need to uncover who the players are and take steps to prevent any interference and guard against cyber-attacks. 

However, I would be surprised if the United States is not doing much the same with those nations.  We know that Barack Obama, as President, used our intelligence and our tax-payer dollars to try to subvert elections, the most prolific was Israel’s.

Carter Page and Paul Manafort are not going to jail for collusion with the Russians.  That alone should scream volumes to everyone and make us tap the brakes and question what this was all about.  The information we have, at this time, is that the Mueller investigation that spanned two long years produced not one single indictment of collusion with Russian or obstruction of justice by anyone connected to Trump or Trump himself.  It did indicate that “despite multiple offers from Russian-affiliated individuals to assist the Trump campaign” there was no collusion.  Those suitors from Russia were rejected time and again. 

The Inspector General’s report indicated that the FBI’s investigation into the Clinton email scandal was laced with political bias and that is why she was absolved of wrongdoing.  I have no doubt that the Attorney General’s investigation will reveal there was significant Trump bias in the counterintelligence investigations conducted against Trump and his campaign. 

I can say, without fear that I will have to eat my words, “it was an attempted political coup.”  I hesitate to use the word hate but it is rooted in hate and the insatiable quest for power by the elitist politicians.  When groups like the Elitist Political Class view the rest of us as subservient and lesser in position, intelligence, and incapable of governing ourselves without their wisdom (sic), we plunged into a dangerous state.

America is the target of many nations and groups around the world and that should come as no surprise.  Joseph Stalin once said, “America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life.  If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within.”  That should send chills down the spine of every Freedom Loving America, but does it? 

When I hear the former president trashing this nation, current politicians decrying this nation and calling it immoral and listen to the superfluous diatribe of the current slate of those seeking to ascend the political mountain to the highest office in the land, I cringe and weep. 

I still have hope and that hope is rooted in three things:  God, American historical resolve, and our Constitution.  I wanted to say the American people but unless we awaken from slumber and realize the offerings being presented by this slate of Democratic Socialist and the Media is nothing more than a faux elixir purported to cure all ills and is not just incapable of doing that but is damaging to our system of government and life, we perish. 

I feel somewhat Queen Esther in the Book of Esther in the Bible must have felt when confronted with the schemes of Haman to destroy the Jews.  She said, “If I perish, I perish” as she determined to go before the King on behalf of her people.  I feel that way about our American Liberty, Freedom, Republic, and Constitution.  I will fight to my last breath for this Republic and in the process, I realize that I will be attacked and there could be entities who seek to end my life or destroy me socially, politically, economically, and in any way they can.  Therefore, I am committed to interceding for America and utilizing every means and tool I have to fight for Faith, Family, and Freedom!

God bless you and God bless America!

I said that recently, and the person I was talking to was both an avid hater of President Trump and a doubter as to the war being waged in America.  He charged me with being an alarmist, a purveyor of ‘fake news’, and I believe his word was ‘nincompoop.’ I asked if he knew what the biblical term for donkey was and apparently, he did not so I suggested he research it.  I also told him that I fully defended his right to be a biblical donkey as well as a political one.  He muttered something and stormed off shaking his head and his fist. I doubt that I’d be welcome in his circle today as, to him, I am personal non grata.

Google, Facebook, and other internet outlets have, from time to time, have taken action against, Christian posts and videos while allowing some of the most reprehensible ones supporting other groups.  There is a war being waged, largely against freedom of speech for certain sectors of society while claiming to be unbiased.  I use Google, YouTube, Facebook, and other internet mediums to convey the message that I believe is vital.  However, there will come a time when I will not be allowed on any of those outlets because of my political and religious beliefs.  My beliefs will be deemed ‘offensive’ to those who believe differently than I and I will be branded a purveyor of hate speech. 

Let me take that one step further and suggest that if toxic liberalism regains full control of the government that label could award me with a federal indictment of some kind and possible jail time.  I am not living in fear of that possibility but with an awareness of its existence.  There are things said on public forums that I do not like.  There are some that I find personally objectionable and even offensive.  However, I am 100% behind the 1^st Amendment that guarantees everyone the right to speak what they believe, with some specific caveats.  If anyone calls for the annihilation of any other group of people that is not speech that society should tolerate.  It might be protected by the 1^st Amendment although it poses a threat to society and Congress could and probably should pass a law regarding that violation of civil behavior.

The danger in what I just said is who will make the call on what is dangerous and what is not?  That’s why, for the most part, I support each community and state defining what is acceptable and what is not.  It does not necessarily take a law to prevent some unwanted speech or behavior.  You may or may not agree with that and I can accept your dissent.

Recently Google employees recently objected to a Christian video on marriage that was being aired on several YouTube channels.  A Google vice president reviewed it and agreed that it was offensive and had it taken off the air.  Offensive?  What was it about the video that was deemed offensive?  It suggested that gap people could become Christians, but like everyone else, they are expected to follow Christian or biblical teachings on sex and marriage.  The person producing the video has been a critic of ‘homo-hatred’ and ‘ugly rhetoric’ directed at homosexuals.

In this video, he contends that same-sex relationships, represent one of the many sins that Jesus died for.  He contended, as do I, that marriage is to take place in the context of male and female relationships.  He quoted the Bible, (a mortal sin in the minds of the Left) and spoke of same-sex marriage, in the same way, the Bible refers to it.  His video appeared as an ad on channels operated by homosexual YouTubers and that started the uproar.  Hey, YouTube and Google, you could have controlled where it aired, but you didn’t.

One must wonder why it is acceptable those in LGBT to air videos supporting their lifestyles but a Christian one is unacceptable?  Their argument, “nobody likes to be told they are a sinner.”  Seriously?  If Christians are disallowed from saying or producing anything that any person anywhere and at any time finds offensive, what can they say?  Where is their 1^st Amendment protection?  Nobody at Google, YouTube, Facebook, or any other social or network medium is concerned with offending Christians or Conservatives.  Yet, if a Christian says or does anything, and most of what we say and do is deemed offensive to those who disagree, we are labeled ‘haters, bigots, racist, homophobic, or some other tag.’

Let me suggest that being opposed to same-sex marriage is not a fringe position but one that is, largely, mainstream in communities of faith.  I do not support doing physical harm to anyone simply because they follow a lifestyle that I believe wrong.  I also do not support censorship of those of us who disagree with homosexuality or any other belief or political persuasion.  Freedom of Speech must be Free for Everyone or it is Free for No One!

Our children are being bombarded in school, in society, and via the medium of television with the intent of achieving acceptance of same-sex marriages as a normal and acceptable lifestyle.  That attempt to indoctrinate and persuade is deemed acceptable, but any opposition is deemed offensive.  Let me say this once, “If you are a homosexual that is your choice.  God did not make you that way, you, through many events in life choose that lifestyle and orientation. I do not hate you, but I will never say that what you do is right, because I believe it is wrong biblically and morally.”  Some will kick me to the curb over that statement and this article and that is their choice.  Some will feel that I did not go far enough. Some will feel I went too far.  Love me or hate me, I defend your right to believe and say what you believe and ask that you respect mine. 

I do not expect everyone to agree with everything I say.  I do not want them banished from all social media and society for disagreeing.  There are some things that the Bible is incredibly clear on and speaks to it in black and white or in concrete terms my view is: Disagree if you choose but do not expect me to amend my views by rejecting the Bible.

There is a War in America and it is not just a War by Social Media and Internet Outlets against Christianity it is a War on our inalienable rights including the 1^st, 2^nd, 4^th, and 5^th Amendments.  What God gave us as a Right is or should be untouchable by the government.  I don’t like CNN, MSNBC, and the other liberal news outlets but I defend their right to exist.  I don’t agree with the Democratic Party on much if anything, but I defend their right to exist.  My disagreement with their agenda, doctrine, and ideology are reasons that I find, time and again, that I cannot vote for the Democrat in our elections.  My vote is directed at protecting and defending Faith, Family, and Freedom which, for me is a defense of the Republic and the Constitution.

God bless you and God bless America!

Life is filled with the ironic and we face many enigmas in life.  At the risk of being Captain Obvious, life is a mystery and often a riddle.  Sarcasm can be brutally mean, or it can be playfully fun and what I’m going to mention will seem mean to some and playfully fun to others.  It is a matter of perspective and the ideological worldview one holds.  With those teases in place, let’s proceed.

A few days ago, I saw a report whether a leak or an acknowledgment by the Trump administration I know not, but it caused me to laugh.  However, now it has made the full circuit of the media, Facebook, Social Media of all types, and has gone viral. The Leftist largely Democratic and now Democratic Socialist all insist that any attempt to secure our border is inhumane and, in their pious words, “not what America is all about.”  However, they ignore the obvious, bypass the evidence, ignore the facts, and proceed full-speed in the pursuit of their harvesting the new crop of Democrat votes in future elections.  To ignore the real problems at the border and the genuine threat to our national security is to be willingly blind or so lacking in cognitive brain power to be a threat to oneself.

Michael Moore, not one of my favorite people, and one I desire to give little recognition to has produced several movies designed to attack anyone disagreeing with his Climate Change and Globalist views.  One of those movies was “Sicko.”  His focus was on the American healthcare system, the costs, the uninsured, and the typical diatribe and talking points of the Left.  I found it ironic that Mr. Moore, who was sick with pneumonia, opted to go into a hospital in New York City rather than seek care in one of those countries who offered, in his view, far superior universal healthcare.  Why not Cuba, Mr. Moore?  You said their healthcare system was superior.  Hey, if I was filthy rich and needed healthcare and believed some other country offered better care, guess where I’d go!

On our southern border, discounting the real threat from terrorist entering illegally for nefarious purposes, the problem presented if the sick are allowed free access is grave and will send scores of Americans to their graves if not rectified.  There are those seeking to come into this country, illegally, who are infected with numerous communicable diseases and some are labeled exotic.  It is not simply people with lice, scabies, acne, or a head-cold, many are seriously ill with diseases we conquered decades ago.  Before you blast me for being inhumane, insensitive, uncaring, and lacking compassion, I must ask, “Why did they leave home, sick?”  Why make the trek across incredible difficult terrain facilitating the worsening of their condition rather than seek care in their homeland? 

If you believe that it is the obligation of America to open its doors to everyone with any kind of disease who seeks to enter this country illegally while barred from coming legally with those diseases, I must ask, “What Are You Thinking?”  No, I ask, “Why Aren’t You Thinking?’  Let me go a step further and ask, “If you had children in the home and someone knocked on your door or just climbed through the window with a deadly communicable disease, would you want them to stay?”  Some will say, “Of course, I’d help them, it’s the right thing to do.”  Others would say, “No, my family must come first, and I must protect my children.”  The President and Congress have the constitutional responsibility to protect us and border security is one of those many needed actions.

It has been reported that there are at least 10,000 people in America illegally who are from nations identified as terrorist sponsors or terrorist nations.  The majority of them are from Iran and California has the largest Iranian population outside Iran of any place in the world.  They are truly a sanctuary state!  Either we recognize the sovereignty and the threats to our national security or we facilitate the destruction of our Republic.

The irony that I mentioned, in the beginning, was that the Trump administration proposed releasing the immigrant detainees onto the streets of sanctuary cities.  You talk about poetic justice that would be classic!  Immigration agencies rejected the proposal and I understand that, but it was classic and brilliant and made me laugh at an unlaughable situation on our southern border.  Nancy Pelosi’s district was considered a prime target and she immediately reacted and called the plan “despicable.”  I laughed again.  Nancy, your plan to open the borders, defend sanctuary cities that endanger Americans, threaten our national security, and pose an astronomical strain on our economy, healthcare system, and law enforcement is “despicable.”  I guess when the shoe is on the other foot, it hurts, right?

I laughed when a Trump official suggested that it would be right because the argument of defending sanctuary cities was that being a sanctuary made everyone safer.  Therefore, said the official, “those immigrants, migrants, illegals, or whatever they are labeled would be safer there than they would be in a non-sanctuary city, right?”  That is ironic and brilliant! 

I love the declaration of Trump and some Republicans that if the Democrats truly believe that the illegals are needed to make and keep America what our Founders envisioned they should embrace receiving them in their cities.  They also said, that if the Liberal Open Borders advocates truly believe these people made life better they should be elated to receive them with open arms.  Are they doing that?  Exactly the opposite.  They don’t want them in their cities, at least not in mass caravans.  It is amazing how attitudes change when people actually have skin in the game. They want the illegals to be allowed in America but would prefer them to be sent into largely conservative regions and then given the right to vote.  Isn’t that interesting?  No, it is diabolical and spells out the endgame in their plot.

America, we would do well to laugh at the daring of President Trump and see the reaction of the Democrats as a reflection of who and what they are and what they are all about.  If America and Americans were the focus of their efforts and agenda, they would want the border secured, but they don’t.  Why?  Why not ask one of the Democrat Politicians that very question and see what response you get.  You will either be attacked as one suffering from some phobia or called a racist, bigot, or some other derogatory name.  You will likely get an angry response or be ignored completely.  That should tell you all you need to know.

America it is time to ‘get ‘er done’ and secure the border, drain the swamp, dismantle the deep state, and make America Great Again!  

God bless you and God bless America!
