I am still trying to wrap my head around how my home state Texas has become Purple with a heavy hint of blueness in its political fabric.  How did that happen?  There are many explanations but none of them fully satisfy my concern.  In the last U.S. Senate election, we watched a Socialist Liberal Leftists from El Paso who wants to be identified by a Hispanic nickname run a close race with Senator Ted Cruz.  Some polls indicate that he is anywhere from tied to 2 points behind Senator John Cornyn had he opted to run against Cornyn in 2020.  But, Robert Francis has bigger fish to fry and sees himself as the savior of America so he is running for President. The transformation in Texas is deeply disconcerting and gives me great concern about my home state which has been a stronghold of Conservatism for a long time.

I have heard from some involved Democrats and some insightful Republicans that there is a concerted effort by the Deep State and the Democratic Socialist Party formerly the Democratic Party to make Texas and other states irreversibly blue politically.  If there were to happen it would make me BLUE emotionally but not politically.  My love for Freedom, our Constitutional Republic, my family, and my God prevent me from even considering a vote for a Leftists.  I see where that is heading and want no part of it, so I keep standing and sounding the alarm hoping some will hear and heed the warnings.

Sometimes later this year, the Supreme Court will hear the case and make a ruling on President Trump’s request that there be a citizenship question included in the 2020 U.S. Census.  I support his decision because no state should gain representation based on a population increase of non-citizens and illegals.  That is what is happening in virtually every state based on the current questionnaire of the U.S. Census. 

The Democrats are crying loudly that this is a ‘privacy’ matter and violates a person’s rights.  That has been rejected by a federal judge, but they will continue to make that plea and try to make it racist to ask about a person’s citizenship.  I don’t mind being asked if I am a U.S. Citizen on the Census questionnaire.  It is not an invasion of my privacy.  However, if a person is a non-citizen who has overstayed their visa or an illegal who has crossed our borders in violation of our laws it is a concern to them. 

If we allow non-citizens and illegals to be counted, then the Democrat Plan of turning our Red or Purple Eyes Blue will succeed in making purple states blue.  The numbers will be inflated in their favor in swing states.  Every state’s electoral vote and future federal funding are determined by their population totals.  Representation should be based on the total population of legal citizens and no one else!  We know this is part of the plan because in the past U.S. Census the electoral votes and representation of several swing states increased based on non-citizen and illegal aliens being included in the population totals.  That is wrong, and the Supreme Court should include the Citizenship Question and stop this madness.  Will they?  We will have to wait and see and as usual, I am concerned about the wolf in sheep’s clothing, John Roberts on this matter.

Based on the 2010 Census, my home State of Texas gained 4 U.S. House of Representative seats.  Texas has gained representation in every U.S. Census since 1845.  Texas is not alone in the increase because in Florida after the 2010 Census they gained 2 seats in Congress.  The dilemma for the Democrats is that Illinois, Massachusetts, and New Jersey each lost a seat in Congress and the Democrats want to regain those lost seats and add a few more and their best avenue for that accomplishment is counting the non-citizens and illegals and including them in the numbers to determine representation in Congress and thus gain electoral votes.

The Democrats have been focused on the long game politically for over 100 years and even in the face of severe losses under Barack H. Obama they continued the behind the scenes efforts to solidify their position.  Having open borders and counting illegals is to their advantage and to America’s hurt but they do not care about America, they care about power. 

I am convinced that the Democrats would prefer to abolish the Electoral College than be forced to rely on the U.S. Census or be subjected to decisions made by the Supreme Court.  They know that their power base on both coasts in California and New York would guarantee a win in any national election based on popular vote.  That does not bode well for the rest of America but again, we are not their focus, power is.

The Democrats are still dragging their feet in confirming the many federal judicial nominees of President Trump.  Why the Republicans in the Senate are allowing this is another issue, but it is happening.  After two years some are still not confirmed.  That is evidence of their determination to be obstructionist in every way possible.  Democrats must control the courts because they know that the majority of people in the majority of states reject their snake oil politics and want nothing to do with it.  Sadly, there are enough people in America who want to get on the ‘freebie train’ and are willing slaves to the federal dole they continue to gain inroads in many areas. 

The reason the Democrats oppose border security and a wall is they know that if they can win on either of those two points I have mentioned the massive influx of new bodies in America will mean more votes for them both at the polls and in the electoral college.  The claim that there are only 11 million illegals here, as if 11 million could be an only, is flawed. I believe that is far too low and there are probably nearer 22 to 30 million.  If you add that number to the 13 million non-citizens with ‘green cards’ that gives the Democrats about a 10 percent increase in population and would dramatically affect all elections national and state.

The current condition of allowing non-citizens to vote in local and school board elections is gaining traction and that erosion of our Constitution will eventually destroy the Republic if we do not stop it now!  America, if we want to Keep our Free Republic we must defeat the Leftists who have largely become Socialist and are almost all Globalist.  It is not too early to focus on 2020 and now is the time to find honest, hard-working, God-fearing, Constitutionalist to run for office.  Is that you?  If so, I pray that you will take the plunge.  If it is not, I pray that you will join those of us sounding the alarm and become involved.

God bless you and God bless America!

The more that is uncovered and exposed about the corruption of the Obama White House and his Department of Justice the more my title becomes a viable reality.  The more we learn about the corruption of the FBI and other Intelligence Agencies under President Obama the more my title becomes a viable reality.  The more we learn about the complicity and collusion of the RINOs in Congress with the Leftists the more my title becomes a viable and visible reality. 

There was enough evidence, not speculation, as is all they have in the Trump investigations, to issue an indictment against many, including Hillary herself.  Nothing was done, and I believe that was largely for two reasons: to protect Himself and to try to keep the pathway open for Hillary to ascend to the throne of Democrat Power as President.  This was to be the completion of the Obama agenda of ‘fundamentally transforming’ America into a Socialist State and dismantling our Republican form of government.  Thank God the ascension part failed.

Now we have some access to the transcripts of Lisa Page’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee and it is more than a little revealing and disturbing.  Will it result in action?  Not unless the American people make so much noise even the Democrats cannot ignore or continue to sweep it under the rug.  Not unless the Democrats are evicted from the House in 2020 and kept out of the White House.  That is a lot of ‘not unless’ elements but things that every lover of Freedom should keep in mind as we near November of 2020.

Peter Strzok warned Page, “One more thing: She might be our next President. The last thing you need is us going in there [to Clinton’s interview] loaded for bear. You think she’s going to remember or care that it was more DOJ than FBI?”  Page confirmed that the ‘she’ was Hillary Clinton and it was in reference to the 2016 elections and the investigation of Clinton.  Dare we forget that Robert Mueller recruited Lisa Page to participate in his Russian Collusion investigation of Donald Trump?  Why would he want someone so adamantly opposed to Trump to help conduct what was to be an unbiased and bi-partisan investigation?  Because it was neither.

Representative John Ratcliffe (R-TX) tweeted that part of Page’s testimony: 

Mr. Ratcliffe: Okay. So let me if I can, I know I’m testing your memory, but when you say advice you got from the Department [of Justice], you’re making it sound like it was the Department that told you: “You’re not going to charge gross negligence because we’re the prosecutors and we’re telling you we’re not going to.”

Ms. Page: That’s correct.

Bruce Oho testified that he informed the FBI that Christopher Steele was biased and desperate to defeat Donald Trump.  That information was passed on to the FBI ‘before’ James Comey certified the FISA application to obtain a warrant to conduct surveillance on Carter Page.  Nice, right?  No corruption, no bias, no collusion, no ignoring the law by this Law enforcement agency, right?  Yeah, I can see pigs flying over my house and unicorns grazing in the back yard.

Trey Gowdy asked him directly and specifically if he told the FBI that the information he was passing along came from someone employed or working with the DNC.  Mr. Ohr confirmed that he did, and it was for the purpose of revealing ‘bias.’  The question is, “Why did the FBI ignore that bias and hide it from the FISA judge and largely Congress and the American people?”  It does not take a Rocket Scientist to figure that out.

In the Peter Strozk testimony, we find that he acknowledged that there was an agreement between the Clinton lawyers and the DOJ to block the FBI from access to Hillary’s emails.  Why?  House Judiciary Committed General Counsel Zachary Somers asked Strzok if he was ‘given access’ to [Clinton Foundation-related] emails as part of the investigation.  Strzok admitted that they were not given access.

Let me get this straight, BEFORE or PRIOR to an investigation into a potential crime, the subject’s lawyers negotiated with the DOJ over what information the FBI could access.  Seriously?  What would the Muller investigation look like if Trump, Cohen, Roger Stone, and countless others on his side had been given that option?  There would be no investigation and it would have ended almost before it began.  Again, all of this exposes the reality that the Leftists continually ‘hide from reality’ and are ‘insulated from prosecution’ by a corrupt bureaucracy, swamp, or deep state in DC. 

Under normal investigations, Strzok admitted, the DOJ would have obtained search warrants to take possession of Clinton’s server immediately. Instead, they negotiated with her lawyers and cut a deal to protect her.  I think that goes back to Strozk’s warning to Page that Hillary would remember once she became president.  It was partially CYA for those in the DOJ, and CYA for Barack Obama as well as attempting to keep the pathway open for Hillary’s coronation as President.  I agree with Congressman Devin Nunes (R-CA) that, “there was an orchestrated effort, a conspiracy, to ensure Hillary Clinton was not prosecuted.”  Unbiased?  Right, and the moon is made of green cheese too!

Republicans are not exempt from this kind of corruption and dirty dealing.  We dare not forget that it was a John McCain associate who shared, leaked, or promoted the unverified and largely fabricated Steel dossier.  The McCain associate was in contact with multiple journalists and government officials in an effort to disseminate the dossier.  Was that without McCain’s knowledge?  Hey, if you believe it was I have some ocean front property in Arizona to offer you cheap, and I will even through in the Golden Gate Bridge at no additional cost.  That seems to have been a plan to make it look like it wasn’t a political attack, but with McCain’s bitterness toward Trump and toward Republican’s who did not vote for him, IT WAS POLITICAL!

The agreement with the DOJ over the Clinton servers, even after the FBI took control were guided by restrictive ‘filters’ as to what they could and could not access or use.  His testimony, that of Lisa Page, and Bruce Ohr indicate the complete lack of interest in pursuing truth and justice but was designed to protect Hillary.  I’m sure much of it had to do with their belief that she was a ‘shoo-in’ to be the next president and they did not want to have the Commander in Chief angry at them.  This was a case of “hear no evil, see no evil, and keep any evil from being revealed.” 

We have the choice in November 2020 to vote in such a way that All Corruption is exposed or to allow this charade to continue, the swamp to survive, and the Deep State to grow stronger. My choice is to Vote No on RINOs and Leftists Liberal Socialist and in that I will Vote for America and our Republic.  I hope you join me in this effort!

God bless you and God bless America!

Some have charged that Donald John Trump, the 45^th President of these United States is an Autocrat and a would be, Tyrant Dictator.  Those same people ignored the usurping of Constitutional Power by Barack Hussein Obama when he used his ‘pen and phone’ repeatedly to bypass Congress, sidestep the Constitution, and ignore the Courts.  Could that be because his ideological position was the same as those, crying foul?  Could it be that his proposed agenda of ‘fundamentally transforming America’ was also their desire?  Could it be that events, actions, and inaction by Congress long before Obama or Trump created the current political conundrum?

First, Donald Trump is not an Autocrat.  He does not have absolute power.  He may be domineering, impulsive, demanding, and value loyalty so greatly that he is difficult to serve under.  He may be a lot of things that people accuse him of regarding his personality or character but an Autocrat he is not.  He is not Hitler and no comparison can be made that would justify such an allegation.  He may have developed a sense of worth that causes him to believe that whatever he does is right.  The same could be said of Barack Obama and many other presidents.  None of those are issues that justify the claims that he is mentally unfit and unstable.  None of those claims justify the hatred directed toward him and anyone who supports him.

But that is not the purpose of what I am writing.  My concern is what or how future presidents will conduct themselves regarding the Constitution, the Law, and governing.  Spanish businessman Juan Carlos Marino Perez Carreno said, “If you look at Trump in America and Bolsonaro in Brazil, you see that people want politicians that do what they promise.”  He was explaining to the New York Times the reason for the rise of Spain’s first far-right party since the end of the Franco dictatorship in 1975.  Action, not words have become something that is very desirable for many in America after decades of inaction and ineptitude in Washington.

When Obama took action that could only be viewed a usurping of the Power of Congress including the precious ‘power of the purse’ there was not so much as a whimper from the Left.  However, with Trump’s National Emergency and intent to use funds not specifically allocated to the Wall for National Defense his action became the worst event ever in American history.  They are charging that he is ‘shredding the Constitution’, a document neither they or the former president seemed to care about.  The Left is crying foul claiming that Trump’s actions violate the system of ‘checks and balances’ but does it?  They claim that he is acting like an Autocrat, an Imperial Dictator, and a most high potentate in violation of our American Constitution.

If you do a quick check you will discover that the approval rating of Congress is below that of the president.  Congress has, over time, become the least esteemed branch of government.  That is not because of Trump’s actions or his charges of inaction or obstructionism on their part.  No, it is their own doing and it did not suddenly occur under President Trump or President Obama or even George W. Bush.  It happened long before any of them ascended to the position of President and occupied the Oval Office. 

Let me borrow some thoughts from Pat Buchanan’s recent article. It is an interesting journey to view how history viewed various president’s actions.  Some of them far more dramatic than anything Mr. Trump has done.  Thomas Jefferson jumped on Napoleon’s surprise offer to sell vast Louisiana territory for $15 million.  Even Jefferson questioned whether he had the constitutional authority to do so, but it was the right decision and history has validated that action.  Andrew Jackson defiantly ignored the ruling against him by John Marshall’s Supreme Court.  He said, “John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!”  I see that kind of attitude more akin to Barack Obama than Donald Trump. 

Abraham Lincoln arrested Maryland legislators to prevent a secessionist-minded legislature from meeting.  He violated the habeas corpus rights of thousands and ordered Chief Justice Roger Taney arrested, shut down newspapers, and in January 1863, declared that all slaves in the states still in rebellion free.  Did he have the Constitutional authority to do any of that?  What has Trump done to compare with that?

President Theodore Roosevelt, to enable him to build the Panama Canal joined forces with rebels to take the province from Columbia.  What about FDR’s corralling some 110,000 Japanese, 75,000 of them U.S. citizens into detention camps during WWII?  How about Harry Truman who, without Congressional authorization, ordered U.S. troops into South Korea in 1950 to resist the invasion by North Korea, calling it a police action?  Bill Clinton, against the decision of the House of Representatives, ordered troops into Serbia in 1998 and began a two and one-half month bombing barrage until the province of Kosovo was yielded. 

I am not trying to defend or decry any of those actions, though I have strong opinions what I am saying is that Congress has failed repeatedly to a branch of government that exercises its power in ‘checks and balances.’  When any branch of government cedes its legitimate constitutional authority to another branch it loses that power and authority.  Our Constitution affords Congress the authority to ‘regulate commerce with foreign nations’ but that authority was ceded to the Executive branch long ago.  They simply vote “Yea” or “Nay” on whatever the White House, any White House negotiates as a treaty. 

We dare not overlook the ceding of their authority to ‘coin money’ to the Federal Reserve.  Their power to ‘declare war’ has been ignored by presidents for decades and I would contend since Truman if not before.  President Trump’s declaration of a National Emergency falls within the scope of the powers given the President by Congress in the National Emergencies Act of 1976.  Congress even has the ‘big stick’ of the Constitution to corral a runaway and rogue Supreme Court but they have never used it and likely will not. 

America wants and needs Action!  We do not need any more politicians that are “all foam but no beer”.  Not to be crude but a friend of mine said, “Congress is about as useful as tits on a boar hog.”  That is not a totally inaccurate depiction.  America must find a way to throw off the restraints and chains of what has transpired in what is largely a two-party system of politics.  When partisan wrangling and positioning takes precedence over the ‘best good’ for America those politicians are useless.  No, those politicians are the problem!

I am concerned that in the future, both Republican and Democrat presidents will view our past few decades as an invitation to act as Autocrats.  While I applaud positive action, I am deeply concerned when any president bypasses Congress and/or the Courts and does whatever he or she desires or believes is best.  I had those concerns with Barack Obama was in office and I had them when every president of my lifetime did things arbitrarily without Congress and the Courts.  However, in the previous administration, the president told us that if Congress did not do what he wanted, He would go it alone!  That has opened a door that must be closed.  Not closed necessarily by legislation but by the Spirit of Freedom in the American people.  It is time that we send the majority of those in DC home and replace them with people who both honor and are willing to defend the Constitution.

God bless you and God bless America!

I am not specifically speaking of the United Nations, the Globalist, and the New World Order advocates and adherents, but another danger that is very real and incredibly nefarious and threateningly dangerous.  That to which I am referring is the push, plan, and desire of achieving Shariadom in America.  I know that is a social media taboo to speak of Islam in anything other than glowing acceptance and tolerance, but I must say what I see and sound a warning.  I suggest that if we continue the pathway opened wide under former President Barack Obama we will see this become a significant reality in America.

Before you cry foul and say that I am simply being an alarmist and that America will never allow Sharia Law to become the norm or even acceptable you might want to look around you in modern America.  You might want to examine some of the Muslim or Islamic organizations that have as their tenets and platform exactly what I am describing.  You might want to check out some of our major cities that now have Sharia Compliant Zones where our American Law Enforcement will not patrol.  You might want to examine the teaching of the Koran and the many Imams who have called for a fatwa and jihad in America and the West.  If you still believe me to be an alarmist after that, that is your choice.

There is an organization called the Assembly of Jurists in America (AMJA) which is part of the international network of Muslim scholars who preach, teach, and demand that Sharia Law as a governmental system is superior to democracy or our Republican system of government.  Islam, if you view it from their teachings, is more than a religious system or order it is a political or governmental system as well.  There are many Muslim organizations which have become very involved in politics in America.  They are not satisfied with preaching in the mosques they want to have a national platform in Congress, and they are gaining inroads at an alarming rate.

The Council of Islamic Relations (CAIR) calls itself a “Muslim civil rights organization” solely focused on an Islamic view of the world.  They care not one wit about anyone else but Muslims.  The rest of us, to them, are infidels and must either be annihilated or pressed into servitude.  In 2015 a new organization was formed that is, in my view, quite dangerous, well organized, and well-funded.  The JETPAC or Justice, Education and Technology Policy Advocacy Center encourages all American Muslims to become devotedly involved and invested in politics on a local level.  That’s where they can gain a foothold and launch their national platform with far more efficiency and ease than trying to start at the top.  MPower Change is committed to creating a political platform based on Muslim issues and organizing around it.  The Politically Correct push in America demands that we accommodate and tolerate them.  We do so to our own hurt.

Each of those groups is affiliated with the dangerous Muslim Brotherhood and their stated goal is the implementation of Sharia Law.  They publicly say that is not their intent, but their mission statements, stated beliefs, and calls throughout the world if Islam is diametrically opposite to their assurances.  They want to replace our Republican Democracy or Representative Democracy with Sharia Law and thereby impose their religious governance on all Americans and ultimately the world.

Many of those scholars involved in these organizations attended Egypt’s Al-Azhar University, the world’s highest academy of Islamic learning and interpreter of the definitive sharia text – The Reliance of the Traveller.  There are over 100 top Muslim leaders who are members of the AMJA and Imams in over 3,000 mosques in America look to them for guidance in their operations as mosques and political activity.  The group’s name in Arabic, “The Group of Sharia Specialists in America” reveals their true purpose.  No matter what they say publicly in media soundbites their purpose is in their name and written agendas.

They are pushing for Muslims in America to follow the comprehensive, sharia-compliant fatwas they have issued.  The AMJA possesses authority to provide legal rulings for the worldwide Islamic community and keep Muslims in America connected to the Muslim Brotherhood pushing for sharia compliance.  One fatwa instructs Muslim judges serving in non-Muslim countries to judge by Sharia “as much as possible, even if by ruse.”  If that does not get your attention, what will?

The AMJA was deeply disturbed over the election of Donald Trump in 2016 and issued a Road-map for Muslims to defend Islam using the American Constitutional Rights to hide their true purposes.  They cited three specific Trump administration actions they were concerned about:  The executive order barring entry to those from ‘countries of concern’, namely, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen.  They were incensed over Trump’s support for a Congressional bill to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization.  The third thing that was possibly the most infuriating to them was the moving of the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem and recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.   In their Road-map there are veiled and some not so veiled threats to American citizens.  They are serious, and we must be as well.

In 1993, Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR spokesman, and co-founder stated that he and they want the United States of America to be governed by Islamic law in the future. In 2003, he admitted that if Muslims became a majority in America, they would likely seek to replace the Constitution with Sharia.  The newer Muslim organizations are echoing the sentiments of CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood, and AMJA positions.

In 2018 we saw a marked increase in Muslim participation in our American elections.  Research and exit polls indicated that 78% of the Muslim vote went to Democrats in the mid-term elections.  Another block vote that the Leftist can count on, but this block is as dangerous for them as for those on the Right.  The Islamic vote is not designed to advance the cause or ideological position of the New Democratic Socialists Party but to use them as a vehicle to gain control and have a voice in national politics.

Americans we have watched the Muslim Brotherhood for three generations advance their ideological, political, and religious agendas.  They have been patient, dedicated, and fully invested in the pursuit of their purposes.  Now, it seems their work is bearing fruit and our Political Correctness and the insane insistence that we tolerate anything and everything ignoring the realities easily seen is going to bring great harm to America and Americans who are not Muslim and do now want Sharia law.  They are not in a position to take over and there would be an all-out blood shedding war, but they are gaining power and taking little segments of land and society and as America turns more to the Left and Socialism they gain power and find new doors to walk through.  YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

God bless you and God bless America!

The ‘Cast of Characters’ label is, in my view, appropriate considering the list of Democratic hopefuls running for POTUS in 2020.  The list is long and growing, but the one theme in all of them is their embracing of the toxic liberalism of the Democratic Party.  Each of them is a strong advocate of ‘Climate Change’ being man-made and public enemy number one.  Virtually of them are advocates of Socialism or the New Socialism of the Democratic Party.  Virtually all of them have signed on to the New Green Deal advanced by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other leftists.  All of them downplay the border crisis and are opposed to a wall and securing our borders against the invading hordes of illegals who ignore our laws and seek the ‘freebies’ being advanced.  That, in my view, is justification for calling them a ‘Cast of Characters.’

The field includes such names as Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Julian Castro, Robert Francis O’Rourke, John Hickenlooper, Amy Klobuchar, Corey Booker, Kamala Harris, John Delaney, Kirsten Gillibrand, Richard, Ojeda, Tulsi Gabbard, other potential entrants.  Stacey Abrams has suggested she might run after losing her bid in Georgia to become Governor.  Eric Holder’s name has been tossed around and there is the never dying desire of Hillary Clinton to become President.  John Kerry is toying with the idea of running.  There are names such as Michael Bennet, Sherrod Brown, Bob Casey, Jeff Merkley, Eric Swalwell, Steve Bullock, Jay Inslee, Terry McAuliffe, Landreau, Andrew Gillum, Michael Bloomberg, Pete Buttigieg, Eric Garcetti, Andrew Yang, Seth Moulton, Tim Ryan, Marianne Williamson, Bill de Blasio, and Howard Schultz. 

I can’t wait to see how they handle the Democratic debates with that potential list and the additions that will have entered the race by the time of the first debate.  Bernie Sanders sanctimoniously said, “If it turns out that I am the best candidate to beat Donald Trump, then I will probably run.”  Hey, Bernie, you have been running since you lost to Hillary, so give it a rest.  You know that you have a following of Socialist and those in a quest for the ‘freebies’ that you suggest. 

Former Colorado Governor, John Hickenlooper made the audacious claim, “I’m running for president because we need dreamers in Washington, but we also need to get things done,” Hickenlooper announced in a campaign video. “I’ve proven again and again I can bring people together to produce the progressive change Washington has failed to deliver.”  Well, hallelujah another savior is coming to save us from the good that has been done under the current president and return us to the harm done by the former president. 

Then Amy Klobuchar, the Democrat Senator from Minnesota said, “For every American, I’m running for you.”  This one who has served in the Senate since 2007, told a crowd. “And I promise you this: As your president, I will look you in the eye. I will tell you what I think. I will focus on getting things done. That’s what I’ve done my whole life. And no matter what, I’ll lead from the heart.”   Wow!  Now, I do have the warm fuzzies.  Utopia is here and a three-term Senator that has stood in the way of America’s progress is our answer.  Enlightenment is such a wonderful thing.

Senator Spartacus, Cory Booker the Democrat Senator from New Jersey see race in everything.  His self-inflating declaration was, “I believe that we can build a country where no one is forgotten, no one is left behind; where parents can put food on the table; where there are good-paying jobs with good benefits in every neighborhood; where our criminal justice system keeps us safe, instead of shuffling more children into cages and coffins; where we see the faces of our leaders on television and feel pride, not shame.”  Senator Booker, that is the country that we are returning to under this President and the country that you and your devotees have been standing in opposition to.  But alas, I’m just a patriotic American who served in Vietnam, and loves my Freedom, so what could I know?

Then there is Senator Kamala Harris, the I slept my way to the top Senator from California who envisions herself as the savior of all mankind, womankind, and the thousands of genders the Democrats insist we must recognize.  Next, we have Senator Pocahontas, Elizabeth Warren who declared, “This is the fight of our lives. The fight to build an America where dreams are possible, an America that works for everyone. I am in that fight all the way,” she told supporters in Lawrence, Mass. “And that is why I stand here today: to declare that I am a candidate for President of the United States of America.”  She went on to say that Donald Trump was the latest and most extreme symptom of what’s gone wrong in America.  No, Senator you and those of your ilk are.

I have not addressed the long laundry list of other candidates and will conclude with Mighty Mouse, the windbag himself rushing to save the day, Robert Francis ‘Beto’ O’Rourke.  I don’t know if any candidate in the field is more self-serving and filled with self than this candidate.  He is one of the new darlings of the Left and has declared that he would tear down the existing walls on the southern border if he could.  He has endorsed the New Green Deal, is in favor of higher taxes, against securing the border and claims that his campaign will be a positive one like it was in Texas.  Wait?  How many attack ads with outright lies did he have in Texas?  There were so many that it would be impossible to count.

Even a liberal paper from Austin, Texas did some fact checking on O’Rourke and had to acknowledge that the connection to his rich father-in-law, the real estate developer and the bankrolling of a Super PAC to buy O’Rourke a seat in Congress were not false and, in their attempt, to exonerate him exposed other connections to huge sums of funds coming in from sources that could be questionable. 

The charges of his laboring for his father-in-law as a member of the City Counsel in El Paso, in the bulldozing of a poor Hispanic neighborhood to abet rich developers including his father-in-law were largely true.  His sexist history and remarks while in college were true.  His DUI and accident with him attempting to leave the scene and lying on the campaign trail were true.  Mr. O’Rourke, sir you speak with a forked-tongue and appear willing to say or do anything to advance your position.  But, alas, you are on the Cover of Vanity Fair saying, “I’m Just Born to Do This,” referring to running for president or I guess any political office.  But, we should all be grateful that he is sacrificing to save us from ourselves, right?

Yes, I am being sarcastic.  However, I am deeply concerned about 2020 because of the grave threat to our Freedom and our Constitutional Republic.  If we allow any of this ‘Cast of Characters’ to occupy the White House, we will rue the day and America will be forever changed.  That change will not be for the good but will plunge us deeper into the abyss of darkness the toxicity of liberalism offers.  Please, wake up America and help us save the Republic from the planned destruction of Toxic Liberalism and Socialism.

God bless you and God bless America!

What contrast?  Between the New Democratic Party and the present Republican Party.  If the GOP fails to put the Leftist Extremism on trial they deserve to get shellacked, which they likely will based on past history of ineptitude and cowardice.  I believe that the America people, if they are truly informed as to the differences, will reject the Socialism of the Left and while they may not fully embrace the platform of the Right, they will vote no on the Left.  Will that happen?  Will the GOP put the New Socialist Democratic Party’s Extremism on trial?  Time will tell, but if history is an indicator, most will not.  That being said, I believe that Donald Trump will unless his advisers convince him to take a different path.  That would be tragic.

The president’s approval ratings are rising and a few weeks ago it reached 52% in the Rasmussen poll.  That is so mind-numbing to the Leftist and the Main Stream Media they are going even deeper into the deep end of the pool.  They are not moving to the center but farther and farther to the Left embracing full-blown Socialism.  They have experienced success in their ‘freebies’ programs and have bought votes for so many years they believe they can trample on the economy of even the left-leaning working class and get away with it.  That must be exposed, and we need GOP candidates who are capable and willing to articulate and accentuate the differences between the two ideologies and platforms. 

The Democrats have gift-wrapped a win for conservatism and constitutionalism if the GOP will highlight the extremism of the New Democratic Socialist on abortion, immigration, taxes, and climate change.  Most people that I talk to, liberal and conservative, are troubled over the plan and proposal advanced by the Virginia Governor that can be called nothing less than infanticide.  They are troubled over the cheering of the New York Legislature and activist over the late-late-late term abortion (up until the moment of birth) legislation passed.  They are troubled over reports about the activities of Planned Parenthood harvesting body parts of aborted fetuses. 

Although a Marist Poll indicated that 55% of Americans identify as “pro-choice” only 25% of those polled condone abortion at any time during pregnancy.  Late term abortion is not a path that most Americans want us to pursue.  The inherent threat in the diminishing of the value of that life in the womb is what other lives will be deemed without value and open the door to genocide of epic proportions in America.  When will we someday understand the dangers and the moral failings of the direction of the New Democratic Party?

Immigration is an easy issue to show the extremism of the Left and highlight the dangers to Americans physically and economically.  It is easy to illustrate, with visual aids and factual data the dangers in the influx of drugs, human trafficking, the sex trafficking, the potential terrorism, health concerns, and more coming across our southern border.  It is easy to demonstrate with factual data and reports from other nations where walls are in place the benefit and need for a Secure Border.  It is easy to speak of the economic drain on our economy and not speak metaphorically but factually.  It is easy to speak to the dangers of communicable diseases being reintroduced to our society.  It is easy to identify the gangs, drug cartels, and the coyote activity which includes human and sex trafficking.  Don’t blow this Republicans, America is depending on you.

The matter of taxes should be a no-brainer for all Americans but since about 50% pay Zero Taxes, it is not.  The theory of Socialism looks good on paper but when everyone realizes that there is a limit to other people’s money that can be confiscated it begins to fall apart.  When one realizes that not only do the Tax Rates proposed by the Democrats (70-90%) results in less money for ‘freebies’, forces the increase of the national debt and deficit, and ultimately results in incredible loss of freedom.  Everything that the government subsidizes it controls and if it subsidizes people it also demands a certain level of control over those people. 

The New Green Deal, the new darling of the Socialist Democrats Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that has 67 endorsers in the House and 11 in the Senate is a direct threat to our very existence.  It is more than a threat to our economy but if implemented and it will be if the Democrats keep the House, regain the Senate, and win the White House in 2020.  If that plan were to become the law and actually achieved, it would result in the destruction of life on the planet.  Plants and people cannot survive with Zero CO2 and the incredibly high cost of the alternative sources of ‘green energy’ makes it prohibitive.  My friend Jack Niewold recently posted an article on Facebook that examined the viability and cost effectiveness of Nuclear Energy and I believe it is an option we should carefully consider before anyone summarily rejects it.  We have possibilities but the path of the “AOC -Green Plan” is not the right course.

You may hate big oil and believe that fossil fuels are destroying our climate and world, but you do not have factual data to back you up on the destruction part of that equation.  Yes, big oil like big anything wants its rich and sometimes disproportionate piece of the pie.  If we allow envy and distrust of anyone and everyone who has achieved economic success to blind us to the benefits of what they produce, we all lose.  If you are comfortable with reverting to the 1800’s style of living, then embrace the New Green Deal.  I believe this is part of a much larger plan by globalist to enact their so-called Sustainable Development Plan entwined in the United Nation’s Agenda 21.  Just saying that no doubt causes some to turn me off as a conspiracy theorist or alarmist, but I urge you to research and THINK!  Please use reason and logic and think the proposal through to the possible conclusions and you will likely become as alarmed as I.

America, I love our nation and am thankful every day that God allowed me to be born here.  I treasure the wisdom and foresight of our Founding Fathers and the Framers of our Constitution.  I appreciate the Freedom and Liberty we have known and should continue to know in our Republic.  However, I am deeply concerned about the direction of politics today and the extremism of the New Democratic Party and too many RINOs on the GOP side of the aisle.  Our Freedoms and Liberties are the targets of this new push and if we fail to get behind the candidates who will stand against this plan we will allow our nation to suffer irreparable damage.  I cannot sit silent and pray that God will help us to wake up before it is too late.

God bless you and God bless America!

I can hear someone say, “We just finished the 2016 and 2018 elections and already we are in the 2020 campaigns, can’t we have a break?”  The answer in America is NO!  We have allowed our political cycles to become endless and although we get brief respites from the actual campaign trail activities we are never far from campaign positioning and jockeying.  Simply put, in America, we must endure Endless Political Campaigning. 

I’ve had people ask me, “Why do you, a preacher, involve yourself in politics?”  I’ve had well-meaning and sincere believers tell me that my time is wasted in politics and what I should do is solely focus on the Bible, preaching and teaching.  I would love to do that, but the reality of today’s American political tumult keeps dragging me back seeing a need to “sound the alarm” when many are opting to remain silent.  I don’t like politics, but it is a way of life in America and in order to preserve Liberty and Freedom for my children and grandchildren I find that, for my sense of duty and responsibility, I must speak up and speak out. 

One of the many reasons that I speak out and write is because of the sleaziness of today’s politicians and activist and sycophants.  We have all witnessed the hijacking of words and the twisting of meanings.  It has been done by various sectors of our society but nowhere more evident and destructive than in politics, especially the politics of liberalism.  George Orwell was correct when he said, “control the language and you control the people.”  That could be applied to the political argument and voiced as, “control the language and you control the argument.”

There are so many examples it requires no citing of numerous examples but when I hear the Leftists twist language and use politically correct speech I feel frustration.  But, when I hear some on the Right who are supposedly conservatives and constitutionalist using Leftist terms I cringe.  When I hear conservatives calling things like Medicare and Medicaid entitlements, I feel a sense of anger welling up inside my being.  We have allowed the Leftists to commandeer the language and largely put conservatives on the defensive.  The Main Stream Media has joined them as have the Hollywood elitist and millions are parroting the terms as valid. 

I read in Orwell’s writings of a story where he illustrated how easily language controls people.  He referred to a Chinese woman who said that in her native dialect there was no equivalent word for privacy.  Privacy was a concept foreign to her parents and that privacy did not exist in her parent’s home.  After living in America a few years, the thought of returning to China where there was no privacy was maddening her.  There was no lock on her bedroom door and when she placed a table in front of the door to gain some privacy it sent her mother into an unhinged rage and accused the daughter of being unloving and claimed that America had ruined her. 

If we lose the language we will lose control and the process of brainwashing will achieve its fullest expression.  We have witnessed that in our public schools and institutions of higher learning for at least two if not three generations.  The word “Entitlement” is an example and a word that has come to produce incredible angst in my heart when I hear it used.  In its origination, it was a very good and useful word but today it is anything but.  It has been so distorted and corrupted by the Leftists that people have been captured, captivated, and enslaved by Liberalism. 

The word, in its origin and used correctly conveys right, proper, moral, and legal ownership of something.  That is not how it is used today.  I believe that Orwell was correct in his dire warnings that if we lose the language there is an incredible danger of the indoctrination by media propaganda causing people to lose their human qualities and become soul-less and mindless automatons.  That will transpire and to a measure already has in today’s America.  In that state, people become terrified of anything or anyone different from us.  It then becomes easy to dehumanize those peoples, nations, or religions and believe it good and right to annihilate them. 

He coined the word “Doublet-think” and argued that if you could double-think a concept you could hold two contradictory beliefs in your mind and heart simultaneously and accept them both as truth.  I believe that is what many Liberal Leftists and various politicians have done.  They genuinely believe that what they say is the truth and the concepts they advance are right and good.  They may contradict themselves repeatedly and see not corruption in this hypothesis because of double-thinking.

Liberals have hijacked the idea of ‘entitlement’ and redefined the word to include things like Medicaid, SNAP, and many other means-tested largess.  This enables them to bring programs like SNAP to the same level as military pensions.  That equates a property right earned by a veteran to a government handout or charity funded forcibly by our taxes.  That is not only dangerous it is diabolical!

If we allow this to continue we will see America fundamentally transformed into a Freedom-less Socialist nation.  We are becoming a dystopian society.  The word comes from the prefix “dys”, Greek for bad, abnormal, impaired, ill, and “Utopia”, a name coined by Thomas More (1516) for his imaginary island.  Utopia comes from the Latin meaning “nowhere.”  In the 19^th Century, John Stuart Mill put the two words together to describe a state in which the government creates conditions and quality of life that are dreadful and disastrous.  Aldous Huxley, Ray Bradbury, and Margaret Atwood used Mill’s word to describe possible future societies that would enslave people and use them for political ends.  Does that sound familiar?  Can you envision that anywhere today?  This is the mindset that bread the philosophy of Saul Alinsky in his “Rules for Radicals” that “the end justifies the means.”  Nothing matters but getting your way. 

Americans, Conservatives, Constitutionalist, Christians, and Patriots if we allow the Liberal Leftist to continue co-opting our language and transforming words for their purposes we will allow the destruction of our Republic.  Words have meaning, and we need to make them mean what they were originally intended to mean.

God bless you and God bless America!
