Yes, I played with words in my title, but I want to talk about tyranny and in case you missed it, tyranny has come to the forefront in American politics in 2021.  Like most things diabolical in humanity and human governments, tyranny begins like a trickle and becomes a raging flood that is unstoppable.  It begins as a small seepage in the dam but soon weakens the dam so that the waters of destruction sweep over everything.  We have been the proverbial frog in the pan of cool water slowly heated to the point of boiling and allowed our own destruction. 

Fortunately, it is not too late, or I hope it is not too late.  It is assuredly not too late to attempt to stop this onslaught of the tyrannical being imposed on our republic.  Stopping it will require more than words and more than an ouster or two from the political ranks. It will require an across-the-board unification of people who love freedom regardless of their political affiliation.  America must transcend political parties and fragmented ideologies.  We must have a resurgence of the Spirit of 1776 and the commitment of those founders.  If we reach that point of fervor and dedication, we will reclaim and restore our republic.

You may be on one side or the other regarding the movement of a decade ago, the Tea Party Patriots.  The zeal and dedication to withstanding the tyrannical imposition of Obama’s socialized medicine via Obamacare were refreshing.  Sadly, the politicians were not so committed and too many surrendered to the demands of their ideological benefactors.  Money and power were more important than the wishes of the people or the constitutionality of the action.  That was a trickle that would lead to the river of tyranny.

The many inclusions in Obamacare that were small pricks that would become gaping wounds moving us toward tyranny were often ignored and dismissed.  As a Christian and a believer in the Constitution, I was alarmed when those demands included forcing employers to provide insurance coverage for abortions and sex-change operations.  Those are just two but each forced acceptance by the government opens the crack in the dam of Liberty a little more.

We have gone from a breath of fresh air in the diminishing of government control and regulations to the current administration where we went from the little prick of Obamacare mandates to the draconian lockdowns, mask mandates, and injection mandates.  Obama illegally and unconstitutionally used the NSA, FBI, CIA, and IRS to threaten those not bowing at the altar of acceptance.  We watched Silicon Valley become the propaganda arm of the government.  All precursors to what was to come when the time was right, and they were emboldened enough.

Americans were systematically and slowly condition to drink the Kool-Aid, believe the rhetoric and spin, and buy into the critical race theory, cancel culture, and the evils of being white or being conservative are probably more accurate.  After all, many on the Left are white and they are not deemed to be racists or white supremacists so it must involve political ideology, not simply skin pigmentation. 

The Obama administration introduced the idea of spying on your neighbors and turning them into Big Brother if they violated the mandated protocol of the ruling powers.   Our English language was restructured making so many non-harmful words harmful and accused of being filled with hate or harmful.  It has even reach, the place that pronouns of he and she are disallowed.  Mother and father are not acceptable terms, and pregnant woman is anathema. 

Ironically, the Leftists and Progressives rabidly condemn fascism by asking the government to take over more and more of our lives.  That is fascism!  Somebody said, “many of them would not understand if Obama himself were to stand there handing them bricks and wet cement for their own 6 x 8 cell.”

Obamacare did not make us healthy, and the mandated vaccines will not make us free.  If you take the vaccine or reject it, that is and should be your individual decision.  There is ample documented scientific argument to support both arguments for and against.  There are some unavoidable facts that the Left will not acknowledge such as the medically verified fact that even the N95 mask will not capture the microscopic particles that transmit airborne viruses.  This was verified in a scientific test over 15 years ago by medical personnel and Navy scientific researchers.  If wearing a mask makes you feel more comfortable, please feel free and if you do not then you should not be mandated to wear one.

The mantra of every tyrant in history seems to be their claim that their actions leading up to total dominance was, “for the welfare of the people.”  It appears to me that the Democratic Party of this era has morphed into a Progressive Politburo.  We have gone from one example of authoritarian impulse and edict to an even more sinister one.  It is progressive and the only end will be when we are completely under their control and dominance. 

One word describes the condition of the Progressives – Intemperance!  Anyone who disregards or disagrees with their dictum and the mandates of political correctness is not only vilified but publicly flogged in every way but the physical.  In some cases, they are flogged physically, and some have been killed by the marauding gangs roaming the streets in the name of some cause, they champion.

I detest true racism and believe that if we accepted God’s Word, we would realize that all of us are created beings.  We all come from the same origin.  We may have different skin pigmentations and come from different cultural backgrounds, but we are all members of the same race.  If I value God, then I value you and treat you as I would desire to be treated.  That ends racism. 

However, racism is a term used by the Progressive Politburo that is extremely elastic, mutable, and ever-changing to fit their current need or situation.  They ignore their own participation in actions that damage some sectors of society elevating one group over another.  Therefore, racism has become whatever the Progressive Politburo desires or needs it to be at that moment in time. 

Joe Biden is a figurehead president, and the Progressive Politburo is controlling his actions.  They cannot control his inability to read the teleprompter correctly or refrain from off-the-cuff remarks that reflect his lack of mental acuity.  But, at the end of the day, they control what he signs, and I wonder if he even knows what he has signed.

The mantra of the Progressive Politburo is the evils of “Whiteness.”  They no longer cite Marx’s seminal work Das Kapital, but their new ideological Bible is Das Whiteness.  I’m sorry for harping on that but as a Southern Christian White Male, I find it unpalatable and reject the denigration it implies.  I love God and in loving God I love my fellow human beings.  I may not like how you live, what you believe, your political philosophy, or even your personality, but I can separate that and love you.  I want you to enjoy the same freedoms I want to enjoy.  I want you to succeed just as I want to succeed.  I want you to have peace just as I desire peace.

We have watched a few corporations becoming drawn into the politically correct world of exclusion to a growing number adopt such cowardliness that they are afraid to operate without the endorsement of the Politburo of Progressivism.  That cannot be good for America!  There is no Utopia and only as we allow people and businesses to follow their own values and convictions and aspire to attain success will we better America.  We are nearing totalitarianism and moved from a soft tyranny to one that is becoming rock hard. 

God help us if we do not wake up, band together, and reclaim our republic.  God bless you and God bless America!

All our American liberties, freedoms, and constitutional rights must be protected if we are to survive as a free people and nation.  Our founding fathers recognized a truth that today’s politicians, bureaucrats, Deep State Statists, and the swamp denizens do not.  The founder’s recognized the sovereignty of God and that our Creator granted to all human beings certain inalienable rights.  Those in today’s political climate appear to believe they are the conveyors of rights, privileges, freedoms, and liberties.

When the idea was advanced and adopted that our founders and the framers of the American Constitution desired all things of God and the Bible to be banned from the public sector, we began the rapid descent toward the abyss of a freedom-less society.  Our founders clearly wanted to prevent the federal government from having the ability to establish a State Church but did not desire God’s banishment from the public sector.  I have addressed that so many times, I will not delve deeply into it again.

The problems we face in America cannot be solved or resolved by governmental edicts, laws, mandates, or injunctions.  It is a heart issue and until the human heart is transformed, the bentness toward evil will prevail and human envy, hate, bias, bigotry, and greed will prevail.  As long as the heart remains unregenerate and lacking the needed transformation covetousness will drive wedges between people and we will have the chaos we now see.  It will not remain static but will escalate to the point that either martial law will be invoked, or a bloody war will ensue.

One of the freedoms that help to protect all the others is embodied in the 1^st Amendment.  I believe that without Freedom of Speech we will find ourselves censored and silenced by the ruling powers.  However, beyond Freedom of Speech, we must maintain our Freedom of Religion, or we will succumb to the baser nature of the human heart and that will not bode well for America or anyone in this republic.  When it becomes every man for himself, it will be an unlivable world.

The current administration, following the lead of their national party, continues to take positions on religious freedom that is so restrictive following one’s faith and core convictions become impossible within the construct of the law.  They have repeatedly refused to defend those following the Christian faith but defended the followers of religions other than the Judeo-Christian faith.

In December 2020, the Trump administration’s Department of Justice accused the University of Vermont Medical Center of an egregious violation of religious freedom.  Eric Dreiband, the assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division, called the hospital’s treatment of forcing a nurse to assist in an abortion against her core religious convictions.  He argued, rightly I believe, the kind hospital’s treatment of the nurse, “the kind of indecent coercion [that] violates everything this country stands for.”  The Biden administration dropped the lawsuit.  

Drieband argued, “Federal law protects health care providers from having to choose between their job and participation in what they sincerely believe is the taking of an innocent life.  Coercing people to perform abortions violates the law, and the U.S. Department of Justice will not stand for this shocking and outrageous attack against the right of all people in this free country to follow their conscience.” 

The current administration supports the liberal ideological position that religious freedoms can rightly be imposed and infringed upon if they are in contrast to the liberal views on abortion or when life begins.  Just as Obama and Biden denied and denies the religious freedom and rights of the Little Sisters of the Poor, this administration supports forcing people of the Christian faith to abandon their convictions and follow the governmental edicts.  That places our religious freedom in grave danger for this is only the crack in the door and will open Pandora’s box if allowed to continue. 

When any party or politician takes a position that reveals they are willing to sacrifice religious freedom on the altar of political correctness we are all in danger.  The idea being conveyed is that the agenda and goal of the followers of this toxic liberal philosophy believe that religious freedom is secondary to their demand for universal recognition and acceptance of their views on abortion, homosexuality, marriage, gender, and a myriad of other matters affecting or conflicting with the Bible and one’s faith. 

They insist they are defending rights, but how do you defend rights by trampling on the inalienable rights defined in our Constitution?  The present push to adopt Critical Race Theory in our schools, make it a crime to be a white male who does not bow at the altar of political correctness or things of that nature.  If our religious freedom is stripped from us and pastors and those choosing to follow their faith will become criminals in the eyes of the state.  If our religious freedoms are infringed what will prevent them from infringing upon all our rights?

I believe that it is to the advantage of every society to have the fear of God.  You may vehemently disagree, that is your choice.  I want you to be free to believe or not believe, but I want to be given that same freedom.  I read about a non-religious mother complaining about her seven-year-olds best friend would not stop talking to him about the Bible and stories about Jesus.  She said, “I don’t want him to be religious.  I want him to learn that you should be a good person and do the right thing because it’s the right thing to do, not because God will punish you if you don’t.”

Might I suggest that Christian parents want their children to be good people too!  They want them to do the right thing because it is the right thing to do.  They also realize that motivation by God not judgment is the ideal.  However, most of them also understand that there is a healthy societal benefit from fearing God with reverential awe.

I have read some psychologists with international repute and esteemed as being knowing speak of the ‘Stages of Psychosocial Development.’  They contend that when a child is in a certain early developmental stage, he understands that something is wrong only if he gets punished for it.  I know that will not sit well with the non-punishment crowd, but I concur and so does the Bible. 

The Bible says that the “Fear of God is the beginning of knowledge and/or wisdom.” [Proverbs 9:10].  What happens in a society where people are never disciplined and forced to face the reality that choices have consequences?  One of the reasons we have such a lack of respect for those in authority, teachers, police, or parents is easily traceable to the lack of discipline in childhood.  If a person never learns to do the right thing or what is right, they will violate the law and violate other people’s rights and property.

Many accept the idea that the police and our judicial system are designed to deal with the recalcitrant and those violators will end up punished and behind bars. Yet, those same people reject the idea that there is to be a healthy and reverential fear of God.  Some people do not do what is right simply because it is right. 

Christianity adopted the view that one should do the right thing because it is the right thing to do ages ago.  The Bible, in my view, teaches two types of valid repentance.  The ideal would be that when one does wrong, they are genuinely sorry for having committed that transgression because they realize it is wrong and they love God.  They realize they have wounded the heart of their loving creator.  The other which is less than perfect is one is repentant because they fear punishment. 

Even the best of people seems to have missing pieces in their moral compasses.  They will feel bad and have genuine remorse when they violate the moral principles residing in their hearts.  Some may realize they have violated those moral principles but because everybody is doing it and the fear of God is a missing element, they may not feel remorse. 

If we remove all religious freedoms and banish moral absolutes, we will find ourselves in a world where the ideal is unattainable (people doing right because it is right).  We will find ourselves in a society where there is no fear of any punishment but man’s laws and only then if caught.  The conscience will no longer play a role in the development of society.  If we lose our consciousness of God and eternity, we are in danger of a world in such chaos none are safe, and no rights will be maintained. 

Thank you for allowing me to ramble but I hope I have conveyed the reality that All Freedoms must be protected, and we need to begin with the Freedom of Religion.

God bless you and God bless America!

I have been concerned for more than a decade that there would come a time when the United States Federal Government would seek to impose such draconian restrictions on us, we would become virtual slaves.  I believe that time is now!

In no way would I downplay the seriousness of COVID and not claim it is not real. It is very real and poses danger for multitudes. However, I believe that it quickly became the vehicle by which various government officials at all levels used to gain control.  The virus has taken lives, I acknowledge that.  Unfortunately, rather than seeking the best good of the citizens the politicians and bureaucrats have seized upon this situation to advance their quest for power and control.  It is science, but political science or political.

The guidelines and mandates have changed so often they are impossible to trust.  When proof positive guidelines fluctuate as these have, the ‘science’ designation takes a severe hit regarding credibility.  The science seems to be political.  Wait?  I guess that allows the powers that be to call them science with the word political as the lead word [Political Science]. 

I hear talk about returning to ‘normal’ and then hear the words ‘new normal.’  That was a distinction the Obama administration that Biden was a part of regarding the economy, jobs, etc.  They insisted that we would never see what we saw under the Trump administration and Mr. Obama even suggested it would take a magic wand to achieve.  Sadly, their magic wand is shredding our freedoms rather than producing liberty and recovery. 

The insistence that the mandates, regulations, rules, and edicts are for our best good and will enable us to return to normal, is suspect at best.  When government insists that we comply or face the full brunt of the power of the federal government’s enforcement agencies and the scorn of our fellow citizens, it smacks with totalitarianism and authoritarianism.  Governing by coercion and fearmongering is not enacting mandates based on proven science.  The data required to validate the authenticity of the need to enact lockdowns, mandatory vaccines, and in-home quarantines and isolation does not exist.  Rather we have the revolving spin and questionable reasoning. 

But have no fear America, it is in our best interest. After all our betters (their view) know what we need and what is best for us.  Right?  Surely, they are genuine in their desire to protect the citizenry and flatten the curve or whatever is needed to be done to the curve to restore us to a reasonable semblance of normal life.  Surely, they are!  I’m sorry, I was distracted by the flying pig soaring over the unicorns eating the green cheese from the moon in my backyard.  Trusting the government would be comparable to trusting the devil to tell the truth. 

I am not a scientist, at least not one of the medical varieties, and do not play one on television.  However, with the loose use of the term and difficulty in defining science today, I may be a scientist of some ilk.  I know, I am a Personal Opinion Scientist. That means I can express my opinion with the same weight and credence as the CDC and other government agencies.  The way this pandemic, virus, bioweapon, or whatever it was or is, was handled causes numerous questions to arise. 

It seems that there was at least equally as much panic as there was pandemic.  I do not and will not downplay the seriousness of the virus because I know some people on a personal level that succumbed to COVID.  We were told that there was a 99.9% expected rate of recovery, greater than that of the seasonal flu and on that data or projection, we locked down the nation, destroyed the economy, and created numerous other catastrophic issues. 

My doctor once recommended a procedure and informed me that there was a 5% chance, I could die from it.  He said the slim chance of that makes the reward worth the risk.  I said, “Doc. The 5% who die are 100% dead.  Therefore, while 5% seems minuscule to you, it sounds large enough to give me cause for concern.”  I opted not to have the procedure.  A couple of years or so later new data was presented that indicated the percentage was nearer 20 and other dangerous side effects were even more readily experienced.  He apologized for suggesting it.  He had bad information and what may have been skewed data.

I have questioned, from the beginning, if we handled this rightly.  I have questioned whether the path our government chose to follow was the best.  I have had nagging thoughts in my head regarding the motives behind the drastic measures taken.  I don’t have all the answers, but I will use my Personal Opinion Scientist self-designation and declare, “We Handled It Wrong in Many Ways.”

There continues to be inadequate and inconsistent data regarding the success of the vaccines, both long and short term.  The mutations and variants of the virus, like the seasonal flu, make a one-size-fits-all vaccine a virtual impossibility.  Those with underlying health issues are highly susceptible to the devastating effects of this virus, the flu, and many other diseases.  My opinion is that to Vaxx or not to Vaxx much be a personal decision and hopefully, it is arrived at after due diligence in research and deep soul searching in prayer. 

I am not surprised that the Leftists’ mantra “My Body, My Choice” has been tossed aside regarding the handling of this pandemic.  However, it is still in full force when it comes to issues like abortion and other personal decisions, they insist people must be allowed to make. 

Aside from the obvious medical and life-threatening issues involved in this virus is the large issue of Freedom.  I appreciate those who view following the mandates and support mandatory vaccinations as necessary to save lives, even one life.  I appreciate the views of those who view following the mandates and reject the idea of mandatory vaccines as necessary to maintain our freedoms and inalienable rights, thus preserving the Republic. 

One side insists that in order to attain ‘herd immunity’ and have a contained virus or one that there is sufficient immunity we must comply or die.  The other side insists that if we let this thing run its course and make the vaccine a personal decision we will, over time, see this thing run its course and develop sufficient ‘herd immunity’ to resume a normal life.

I am always concerned when the government seizes upon an opportunity to gain more power and control.  I have reached a place of cynicism regarding our government to be concerned that some within the power structure would manufacture things that cost lives in order to maintain their hold on the power gained.  I do believe that Mr. Obama’s right-hand man, Rahm Emanuel said, “Never let a good crisis go to waste.”  If they long for a crisis, even one that costs lives and livelihoods to advance their goal what is to prevent them from manufacturing a crisis.

We know that the vaccines will be annual if not semi-annual with boosters required.  We know that even the vaccinated are contracting the virus.  We do not know the long-term effects of the vaccine.  I am not trying to promote or denounce what you decide, that is between you, your family, your doctor, and God.  I am only suggesting that hidden beneath the surface may be something far more sinister than we see.

I only ask that we all remain calm, stop vilifying others who do not agree with us, and prayerfully ask for God’s protection and guidance.  I ask that we watch carefully what those in power do and try to keep from being blind-sided and complicity in the loss of our liberties and freedoms.  It is your God-given and constitutional right to choose which path you take.  I do not want anyone to suffer the virus or die from it.  I do not diminish the seriousness of it nor of strains of the flu or other diseases that are highly contagious respiratory and airborne.  We need to use proper hygiene, be cautious, and be courteous.  We need God more today than ever.

My objective is not to pit one side against another but to call for all of us to preserve and protect our Gog-given and constitutional rights, freedoms, and liberties.  From a biblical perspective, I see much of what has been done as a conditioning effort for an eternal consequence.  No, I do not believe if you get the vaccine you have taken the Mark of the Beast.

God bless you and God bless America!

I am a Christian and do not use profanity so none of those choices are options for me.  Also, I ask that if you comment on this post, please do not use them.  I have searched for the best word to describe the toxicity of progressivism, liberalism, and the modern Democratic agenda today.  I am not sure that I have found the best word but one that is apropos.

The word that I have chosen is ‘Dystopia.’  Let me define the word as defined by WordNet 3.0 of Princeton University.  Dystopia – [n] “A work of fiction describing an imaginary place where life is extremely bad because of deprivation or oppression or terror.”  [n] “A state in which the conditions of life are extremely bad as from deprivation or oppression or terror.”  Merriam Webster defines it: “an imagined world or society in which people lead wretched, dehumanized fearful lives.”  The New World Encyclopedia defines it: “the vision of a society that is the opposite of utopia.  A dystopian society is one in which the conditions of life are miserable, characterized by human misery, poverty, oppression, violence, disease, and/or pollution.”

Since the inauguration of Joe Biden in January of this year, we have seen the rise of the United States of Dystopia.  We have the insanity of open borders where there is a flood of human flesh entering this nation with no safeguards for the citizens.  The unvetted horde that is arriving daily includes some of the most despicable dregs of humanity and those who desire to destroy this nation.  Yes, some people are trying to find a better life, but some desire to do harm and are taking advantage of the weakness of the current administration.  I call the condition Dystopia.

We have witnessed unsustainable spending and massive increases in the size, scope, and power or control by the federal government.  We have witnessed the spending that could only come from a delusional mindset, which is reckless and is crushing our economy and hope of survival.  We have witnessed the demonization of anyone not adhering to the political correctness of the Left, embracing the agendas of groups that demonize those not, like themselves, and the branding of the police as systemically evil.  We have watched as identity politics has risen to the podium, cancel culture is prevailing, censorship is the norm, and socialism the goal.  I call that condition Dystopia.

Someone rightly said, “America is becoming unhinged.”  As always, I ask, “Who is to blame?”  I always ask, “At whose feet can we lay this?”  Many who agree that the toxicity of the progressive left is dystopian do not agree as to whom we should blame.  There is blame aplenty for all politicians, the media, the educators, the super-rich power brokers, and beyond.  I also believe that some if not much of the blame must be laid at the feet of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. 

Before you seek to tar and feather me or have me drawn and quartered let me explain that last statement.  I believe that the Church (believers) slept while Rome (America) was dismantled.  We believed a lie and as we sat in silence the politicians engaged in politics that banned God from the public square.  We watched as they took more and more control and infringed upon our liberties and freedoms.  We allowed personality preferences to determine our vote rather than Party Platforms.  Therefore, we must share some of the blame.

But who is the major culprit in creating this condition?  I could say, rightly, the devil but let’s bring it to humanity and address it.  I believe the prime candidate to receive the scorn and blame is the super progressive liberal wing of the modern Democratic Party.  They are now in control of what is often called “the beltway”.  They have Congress, the Courts, the White House, the bureaucracy, many mayors, and city councils of our major urban centers.

If the progressives actually embraced positive progress they would not be in the Democratic Party.  I hear from those on the Left and some on the Right, the words of R.P. McMurphy from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest – “A little change never hurt anyone.”  I disagree that there are times when change is disastrous.  World history is replete with examples of change that destroyed nations and lives. 

Dare we forget the damage done by the rise of the U.S.S.R. via the Bolshevik Revolution or the rise of Adolf Hitler via the National Socialist German Workers Party.  They were deemed to be progressive and the promised changed did immeasurable harm and destroyed millions of lives.  Dare we omit the direness of the Cuban people under Fidel Castro and the utter chaos of Venezuela? 

We are allowing the followers of the toxic liberal progressive totalitarians of the Left to create the United States of Dystopia.  The fundamental transformation declared by Barack Hussein Obama is upon us and it does not bode well for the Republic or its citizens. 

How can eradicating our borders be beneficial for our national sovereignty or the American citizens?  How can defunding the police help reduce crime and protect the citizens of their domain?  How can the emptying of jails and prisons, increasing the national debt, and engaging in censorship bring about the progress that is good for America?  The willing ignoring of the dangers of COVID by the illegals entering America is dangerous.  Human sex trafficking and the influx of dangerous drugs such as fentanyl is destroying us.  How can arming the Taliban and ISIS be good for America? I call that Dystopia.

If you disagree with the purveyors of this toxic brand of politics you are shouted down and deemed, racist, sexist, misogynists, homophobes, xenophobes, fascist, deplorable, or some other derogatory term.  They do not argue from a factual basis but an emotional one.  They do not allow empirical evidence to be displayed only that which produces a warm fuzzy feeling in their disillusioned minds.  I call that Dystopia.

When a nation suppresses speech, restricts the free exercise of religion, demands adherence to draconian edicts that nation is on the brink of destruction and the people or doomed for a life of misery.  The segregation of people by skin pigmentation, political or religious ideologies, and dividing us guarantees our demise and difficulty.

Will we wake up and reclaim America?  That is a question that only God can answer and is rooted in the choices of the people.  If we will return to God and band together, we can overthrow the tyrants and those bringing Dystopia to America.  I stand for Faith, Family, and Freedom and ask that you join me in the trenches as we pray for and fight for America, the Free Constitutional Republic.

God bless you and God bless America!

There will be a revolution in America.  It will either be a violent armed revolution or an organized systematic political restructuring using the polls, media, courts, and churches.  Of course, it could be both, and depending on what happens in the mid-terms of 2022 and the general election of 2024 that revolution may be sooner rather than later.

I used the word apocalypse, a biblical term, and will refer to the horsemen or actions embodied in the current administration’s policies as a strong basis for my contention that a revolution is coming.  There are many more reasons than this administration, but I believe that something will serve as the catalyst or give the impetus to propel this nation into utter chaos. 

I lament that it seems that either the church (believers) has become complacent and compliant or for some reason driven into the shadows.  If one speaks out forcefully for moral rectitude and daringly calls evil, evil they are castigated by the Left, the Right, and even the Church.  Our current America seems to have no place for godly zealots only those of the radical leftists’ agenda. 

The Bible identifies four horsemen of the apocalypse – the sword, famine, wild beasts, and plague.  I believe in the current administration’s policies and announced agenda we see at least three horsemen emerging and beginning to wreak havoc.  I am convinced that many rank and file Americans are beginning to grow weary with the mandates, the manipulations, the misinformation, and the policies that damage their lives.  Are there enough to reverse this course short of a revolution?  I do not know, but I continue to hope that a great awakening will transpire.

The three things that loom large in my view are the terribly dangerous and damaging open-border policy, soaring inflation that is bordering on hyperinflation, and the dictatorial coercive unscientific public health mandates and measures.  Do not misunderstand me on the last item.  I am not trying to decry or advance the vaccine for I truly believe it should be an individual decision.  That may irritate those on both sides of the issue, but I believe in Freedom!

The Far Left, in today’s political structure, have become more emboldened than I have witnessed in my lifetime and they can smell blood in the water.  They are willing to destroy those within their own party who will not cater to their draconian and totalitarian demands, hoping to replace them with those of their ilk.  The so-called middle-of-the-road Democrats are hearing the hooves of the horses and I see them capitulating to the demands more and more.

The media and the politicians are downplaying and providing skewed information regarding the enormity of the invasion at our Southern border.  Fortunately for us, they cannot prevent the video footage that is becoming more readily available debunking their scurrilous lies and the real dangers presented by this disastrous policy of ‘come on down.’

The Biden administration does not want us to know that the invaders (illegals) hail from about 100 countries worldwide.  The idea that this is a Central and/or South American issue is fallacious.  We have documented evidence that this administration is releasing COVID-infected aliens into our cities and thereby endangering legal Americans.  What is so the real reason they place more value on these illegals than our citizens?  I believe it is political.  The administration is pushing to mandate vaccines for Americans but not a peep about allowing unvaccinated and sick illegals to enter with immunity to our laws. 

I don’t have time to deal with the problem of Inflation that is growing exponentially due to the Biden policies but let me touch on it briefly.  Some relish the idea of cheap borrowing and flooding the nation with federal dollars.  They insist, as did Mr. Biden, that this will not cause inflation.  Sorry, it is too late, it already has and always does!  They also insist this will be short-lived and is necessary to get us out of the fiscal issues cause by the draconian lockdowns by the government due to COVID.

Inflation will cause an increase in all goods and services.  Food prices are escalating, energy costs are soaring, delays are causing financial concerns for businesses and individuals, and it will get worse if not stopped.  Residential housing prices are going through the roof.  If you are selling a home, you may love that.  Sadly, this creates a situation where people are paying more than they can afford and the bubble will burst, and we will have another crash and many lives will be decimated into financial shambles and ruin. 

We could argue until we are blue in the face and never come to a reasonable solution for the terribly dictatorial coercive and inconsistent COVID policies that have and are being advanced.  The problem with the so-called scientific community is that many situations are being studied with a beginning paradigm that demands nothing outside that foregone conclusion is allowed.  That makes it anything but science and transforms it into ideological pursuits or political agendas.  That is not good for America or Americans.

We were told we did not need to wear a mask, then if we did not, we were killing others.  We have been told that we did not need to stay locked down and then told that if we did not isolate and impose a self-quarantine, we were super spreaders and killing others.  We were told not to touch our faces or anything else (not sure how you can function that way).  We were told that if we were vaccinated, we did not have to wear a mask then even if vaccinated masks were necessary.

The CDC spokesperson Dexter Park said, “Normally, we put out recommendations like only cook a steak well-done and only fry eggs over-hard, and people don’t even pay enough attention to make fun of us, so people are acting like what we say during the pandemic matters and is really confusing.”  Yes, he was being facetious but that is where we are. 

A CDC regulator, Lyle Howell made a statement that should cause the hair on the backs of everyone’s necks to stand up.  He said, “People keep saying our suggestions on masking are dumb and make no sense,” said CDC regulator Lyle Howell. “But that’s all of our suggestions on everything. We have to keep making recommendations, though, to justify our existence and get a budget. But no one listens to them — not even us. So, can’t you all just go back to ignoring us and stop yelling at us? I’m just here until I get my pension.”  There is far more truth in his comments than fiction. 

Vice President Kamala Harris has advanced her justification for open borders and ignoring the crisis with a ludicrous utopian idea.  She said that all we have to do to solve the border crisis is to transform the Northern Triangle countries of Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador into stable, prosperous democracies.  Simple Right?  But VP Harris, what about America and Americans?  Could we not secure the border and work on America’s needs before attempting to make a Utopian Paradise out of Central America?

America, if we do not focus on America, we will be incapable of helping any other nation in their plight and need.  If we continue to advance policies that are detrimental to the Constitution, our system of government, and the American people we will decline further, and the apocalypse will surely come to this nation. 

If we do not return to our moral moorings, recharge sanity, and reason, we will become an afterthought in history and the freedom we have enjoyed will not be experienced by our children and posterity.  It is time that we return to God and become people who use that thing on top of our necks for something other than hats or hair.  America needs her prayer warriors and patriots; will you join the growing army of constitutionalists?

God bless you and God bless America!

The longer I live, the more I study history, the Bible, and humanity, the more concerned I become for our present world.  No, I’m not going to plunge into a doomsday sermon.  I hope to call attention to some questions that I believe we should be asking.  Questions we should ask ourselves and those charged with managing the government.  Questions we should be asking for the sake of our Freedom, the Truth, America as the Free Constitutional Republic, and our children. 

Today we live in a world where there is a determined effort to silence anyone and anything that is counters or questions certain positions or ideologies.  My concerns could be posed as a question.  When you silence the other side of any question or issue do you not make your position appear weak?   Do you not make your postulation seem suspect and, in a measure, weaken the credibility of your argument?  Even if your position or contention is true and right if you reject all debate and censor those who disagree you appear to be hiding something.  The Truth can and will stand up under examination.  A lie needs to suppress all opposing views because it is not factually based. 

There are many directions I could go with that contention and there are many things that I could address.  We have evolved or morphed (badly) in American politics to the point that rather than factually, intellectually, scientifically, and with a reasoned presentation defend our position, silencing the opposition is the desired tactic.  In any situation where there is a concerted effort to silence all dissenting views, red flags go up in my head and heart.  There is something inside me that asks, “Why?”  If the position is valid, backed up by data, and is sound, why be concerned about the opposition?  Facts do not lie but theories lacking facts do.

I will possibly incur the ire of some for this, but I am going to ask, “What if all the silenced and censored scientists and doctors who issued warnings against the COVID vaccine were not wrong?”  I know, you researched it on Google and the information there is overwhelmingly in favor of the vaccines and deem them 100% safe.  I hope that is correct, but if it is and there is empirical data to back up those assertions, then why fear opposing views? 

            I understand that today’s society is easily influenced and swayed based on the volume of information.  I understand that today’s society has been inundated with fear and the door to paranoia has been opened.  I know there are kooky conspiracists who find a demon under every rock and issues warnings about everything.  I know that some will be swayed by the person giving the most impassioned argument.  I understand that the level of distrust for the government affords some conspiracists a ready-made platform to offer their self-serving tidbits of paranoia.  Yet, if the government is telling the Truth and the vaccines are as safe and effective as they claim, why the efforts to silence opposing voices?

            We have learned, belatedly, that some of the therapeutics such as Ivermectin and HCQ had, at least some, success in dealing with COVID in the early stages.  Why did those like Dr. Fauci and others utilize every means to prevent the public from having that information?  Any mention of prophylactic treatments was lampooned and quashed by the mainstream media.  Google, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook banned dissenting voices and proponents of those drugs.  Those calling for their use were vilified, and much energy was invested in discrediting them.  Why?  Why not have an open debate using scientific data and actual test cases?  Why?  I can only speculate. 

            This administration has deemed a consortium of scientists and doctors who question the veracity and safety of the vaccine as the “dirty dozen.”  Some of those have lost their jobs, cannot get books or papers published, and find themselves ostracized by much of the medical and scientific world.  Why?  If we are truly interested in the Truth and ending this pandemic providing a safe and effective tool to people, would it not behoove us to openly discuss the questions, concerns, and fears of the dissenters.  If there is factual data to support the contention of Dr. Fauci and the government would it not benefit everyone to have the debate in an open forum?

Some of the most prolific and well-known names of the dissenters are Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, a long-time anti-vaxxer, and Joseph Mercola.  They have large followings and if they were the only ones, I would probably be inclined to dismiss their warnings.  However, there are many others – doctors, virologists, epidemiologists, biologists, pathologists, et al who opposed the CDC and WHO narratives.  They have virtually all been banned from Social Media and their videos and articles have magically disappeared from the internet.  Why?

Why are we willing to allowing the social media powerbrokers like Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Dorsey, and their cohorts many of whom are compromised and none of them scientists or doctors, to determine what we can or cannot hear, see, or read?

Why would a link to an interview with Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of mRNA, get you banned, silenced, censored, and canceled by the social media sites?  Why?  His interviews have been taken down and he is receiving death threats!  Why?  The Atlantic has a hit piece on him!  Why?  He is not alone many others have and do raise concerns.  Should we not be privy to all the information available so that individually we can make an informed decision.  The Truth will bear up under examination but the False must silence all opposition. 

Let me give you a list of some of the doctors and scientists who question the vaccine.  My objective is not to toss out any credibility for the vaccine.  It may be everything the government is claiming.  It may be the answer and those dissenters may be wrong.  I do not have the answer, but I would like to have the questions and concerns answered satisfactorily with empirical evidence, not hyperbole and theory.  Like Sgt. Friday, I say, “Just the facts ma’am, just the facts, please.”

The list of people with heretofore impeccable credentials includes:  Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Vernon Coleman of the UK, Dr. Ryan Cole is especially good at communicating the science in lay terms.  Dr. Denis Rancourt of Ontario, Dr. Reiner Fuellmich,  The Children’s Health Defense Europe, Dr. Tom Cowan, the late Kary Mullis, the inventor of the PCR test, Dr. David Rasnick, a Ph.D. chemist, Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi,  Dr. David Martin, Geert Vanden Bossche, DVM, Dr. Luc Montagnier,  Dr. Simone Gold of Frontline Doctors, Dr. Michael Yeadon, formerly of Pfizer, Sunetra Gupta of the University of Oxford, Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford University, authors of the Great Barrington Declaration, and Dr. Martin Kuldorff of Harvard.  These are just a few of the doctors and scientists whose expertise has led them to entirely different conclusions regarding the treatment of COVID and the safety of the vaccines.  

The most serious question is: “What if a few of them, some of them, or even all of these dissenting doctors are right about the vaccines, COVID treatments, the variants, etc.? What if they are?”  

Jesus said, “You shall know the Truth and the Truth shall make you free.”  If we do not hear the truth and only hear one side, can we be sure we have heard the truth?  I am growing weary of conspiracies about everything.  Yes, the devil is evil and evil people do evil things.  No, the government is not always working for our best good and in our best interests.  Yet, everything that happens may not be part of some larger scheme to enslave us.  Some things are just dumb and the powerbrokers in government striving for their own interests.  We have the choice to believe whatever we are told or to diligently seek to discover the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

At the end of the day for me, it is do I trust God or not?  Regardless of what the government does, or evil people do, God is still God and He is capable and willing to keep us!  I contend that taking or not taking the vaccine should be a personal choice.  It should be done in prayer, careful research, and consultation with your family.  If you take it that is your choice and if you refuse that is your choice.  Whether you take it or not, we all should be careful in hygiene and be aware of our surroundings and limit our exposure to obvious dangers.  Most are not obvious!  That brings me back to my declaration and question about trusting God.  My eternal soul is the most important thing!  

Freedom is a prize worth fighting for, so let’s ask for the government to cease censoring and silencing everything that questions their actions and allow the Truth to come to the fore! 

God bless you and God bless America!

When I hear a politician say that they have a mandate from the voters to do this or that, I shudder.  My observation has been that the so-called mandates the politicians envision as being demanded by the voters are nothing more than an excuse to do what they desire.  I am convinced that those with an insatiable thirst for power and control believe that every time they are elected or allowed to do their deeds, they have a justification for their actions.

I do not believe they care whether we truly want what they are doing or not but use our permissiveness to pursue their agenda.  It is my observation that bad actors in both major political parties are in bed with the idea of domination.  They use buzz words that sound saintly and righteous.  They present verbiage that sounds caring and compassionate but inside the vileness of their hearts direct their actions.  They plan evil on their beds and pursue their prime objective of Control and Dominance.

We hear words like ‘equity’ and ‘equality’ bandied about and the crowds listening to the diatribe and rhetoric shout like those at an old-fashioned tent revival attendee.  The giddiness of the proponents of ‘leveling the playing field’ by governmental mandate seems to be infectious among those not willing to investigate the facts and use cognitive reason. 

Joe Biden has repeatedly insisted that he and they have a mandate to do things that even when their own polls indicate the majority do not desire what they are pursuing.  A mandate?  A mandate of the mind is not a mandate of the people!  At a time when I thought nothing could surprise me, I continue to be surprised by the duplicity and complicity of politicians of both major parties in seeking the fictitious ‘level playing field’.  I guess they believe the absurd claims that if the government were to ban guns the criminals would turn theirs in.

I don’t know if it is out of guilt or driven by a misguided view of humanity and our individualism, but they seek to make law things that will further widen the gap and squash creativity and incentive.  We are all equal in creation, but we are not all equal in talent, intelligence, ability, or drive.  We are individuals who working collectively can and do produce some amazing things as the past 50 years have evidenced in advances in every sector of life and industry.

I am surprised when I read the list of bipartisan legislators supporting the EQUAL Act (Eliminating a Quantifiably Unjust Application of the Law).  This seeks to abolish all remaining sentencing disparities between crack and powder cocaine.  On the surface that sounds good. 

On June 22 the Acting Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, Regina LaBelle testified before the Senate. She declared, “The Biden-Harris Administration strongly supports eliminating the current disparity in sentencing between crack cocaine and powder cocaine.  The current disparity is not based on evidence yet has caused significant harm for decades, particularly to individuals, families, and communities of color. The continuation of this sentencing disparity is a significant injustice in our legal system, and it is past time for it to end.”  What was missing in her testimony?  There was no mention of the significant harm (i.e., crime, violence, addiction, and death) caused by the use and trafficking of the drugs themselves, then or now. 

In 1986 a bill sponsored by Senator Joe Biden, yep, the current president, called the Anti-Drug Abuse Act was passed.  It was a reaction to the skyrocketing addiction rates among ever-increasing numbers of crack users, mostly in the inner cities and accompanied by incredible violence.  It spread from city to city and was the monetary vehicle of many gangs such as the Bloods and Crips and left a trail of carnage in its wake.

The bill was in response to the demands of African American communities that had been ravaged by drugs and violence.

I am supportive of helping the addicted as much as possible and also staunchly behind incarcerating the dealers.  If that seems to affect any group of people more than another the question must be the level of the activity of dealing drugs.  I do not want any group needlessly targeted but if the crime is committed the enforcement must be in place.  There is evidence that in the 1990s, crack laws helped diminish cocaine use and a reduction in crime.  The data indicates that there was a 40% reduction nationwide and amazingly, 80% in New York City! 

Heather MacDonald dramatically pointed out that due to the reduction in violence associated with the drug trade in that era, “over ten thousand minority males are alive today who would have been killed had the homicide remained at its earlier levels.”  Positive and proactive law enforcement proved to be a benefit to citizens. Today, the push of the Left and the Woke Crowd of Politically Correct Snowflakes is to ‘defund’ the police and let crime be unchecked.  It makes me wonder if the politicians pursuing those edicts are participants in the monetary benefit of the trade.  If not, I have to wonder if they are themselves, users!

This is just one of the many tentacles the federal government is seeking to impose on us and define what is best and good for society.  The drive for political correctness and equality has become an epidemic that is more threatening than the COVID-19 Pandemic.  I am not diminishing the virus for I know people who have perished from it and others who are suffering diminished health as a result. 

Control is the name of the game and at the beginning of the Pandemic we were told that we had to do this and that to ‘flatten the curve’.  Now, they continue to push for a Vaccine Passport to become the Law of the Land.  The amazing ease they gained control, locked down the nation and much of the world is frightening.  The mask argument has raged with vastly differing opinions within the medical and scientific community.  It has divided families and produced enmity between persons who normally would stand shoulder to shoulder on issues. 

The Mandates to stay home, wear a mask, etc. were supposedly temporary and to enable us to ‘flatten the curve’.  But like almost every law passed and mandate enacted by the government nothing is temporary.  Control once obtained is not relinquished without a fight.  They are finding new ways to launch the public into a state of paranoia and through fear or a sense of guilt impose their wills on citizens.  If those seeking to remain relevant and powerful get their way, we will be wearing masks into perpetuity.

I don’t care which side of the issue you stand on masks or the vaccine, I have to wonder, is it in our best interest to have the government determine what we can and cannot do?  Will it stop with masks or vaccines?  They continue to tell us, “It will get worse.”  We know that 56% of Americans have received at least one dose of the vaccine.  There are 48% fully vaccinated and in the over 65 population, 79% have been vaccinated.  Yet, we continue to have variants, mutations, and even the vaccinated become infected.

The CDC has reported that it is estimated that 35% of all Americans have been infected over the last year.  They indicated that with the overlap between those previously infected and the vaccinated that 80-90% of Americans either have a natural or vaccination immunity to the Chinese virus.  I do believe they talked about ‘herd immunity’ in the beginning but no longer bring that to the table.

I do not want the virus, nor do I want anyone to contract the disease. But I am concerned that their Mandates are more about Power and Control than protecting the American people.  That applies to attempting to ‘level the playing field’, change sentencing mandates and guidelines for drug crimes and other crimes.  It is across the board.  If Control is the objective rather than protecting or benefiting the citizens, then we the people must become involved in protecting our liberties and freedoms.

Again, I do not believe we can rectify the power problem in politics at the ballot box alone.  I do not believe we can achieve it through a constitutional judiciary alone.  I believe that the only way we turn the tide of destruction is by returning to God and returning to our moral foundations.  If we do not become a people, whose God is the God of the Bible we will see incremental erosions of our liberties and become the proverbial frog in the pan of water.  One day our liberties will be no more!

God bless you and God bless America!
