Fundamental Transformation

 

This republic has changed dramatically in recent years-- politically, morally, and, perhaps most significantly, demographically.

Section 15 of the Virginia Declaration of Rights (a precursor to The Declaration of Independence) that was adopted by the Virginia Constitutional Convention on June 12th, 1776, states: “That no free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue and by frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.”

Does that appear to be the case today? Let’s go item by item. Clearly, many of us are not firmly adhered to justice. Those on The Left routinely take the side of arsonists, thieves, rapists and even murderers as opposed to law enforcement…or those who have been the victims of arsonists, thieves, rapists and even murderers. Moreover, a two-tiered system of justice has taken hold nationally, in which members of certain groups are deliberately treated differently than others.

Moderation? There’s a cannabis dispensary on every street corner, liquor stores are open on Sundays, fentanyl kills scores of thousands annually, some states hand out free crack pipes, gambling is systemic and ubiquitous, most of us cannot stop looking at our smart phones, and many more are addicted to video games and/or porn.

Next up is frugality. Okay, I can’t even write the word with a straight face. The U.S. is nearing 40-trillion dollars in debt and spends substantial sums of money on things like an Iraqi version of Sesame Street. On an individual level, most of us are determined to get that new Apple iPhone or big screen television whether we need—or can afford—it or not.

On to virtue. See the aforementioned for starters. There is entirely too much virtue signaling and not nearly enough actual virtue on display. The moment someone is run over, molested, shot, or set on fire, the majority of bystanders whip out their phones and start recording, rather than offering assistance.

Finally, we have “frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.” How are we faring in that regard? Do the majority of us fervently long for the days of limited government? I don’t see the Ten Commandments around. Do kids even know what they are? When I was growing up, people still frequently talked of “pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps” and “keeping your nose to the grindstone and shoulder to the wheel.” The “Golden Rule” and “Do unto others” were common themes. Today? Not so much. Too many dismiss or disdain our founders, in some cases going so far as to vandalize or topple their statues. The founders set us on the right path, but we took a sharp turn and went way too far down a road that ought not have been travelled. The question is not can we find our way back, but do we want to.

It’s no wonder that we have lost many of our liberties and that so much of our government is injudicious, corrupt and oriented towards the tyrannical.

Can we, today, truly be said to be one nation? Under God? Indivisible?

 

 

 

Sanctuaries, Leftists, And Posterity

 

The staggering hypocrisy and moral confusion of those on The Left continues unabated.

They believe that feds have no right to enter the “sanctuary cities” they create and support for illegals, but that a Christian sanctuary is a legitimate target for themselves and their Marxist comrades.

I used to occasionally trot out this line for fun: “Gypsies, tramps and thieves…welcome to the Democratic National Convention!” Now this group, numbers swelled by thugs, Marxists, and violent criminals, will come to you and for you. They will block public roads, deface public property, chase you down, pull you out of your car…and invade your churches (not mosques!) to intimidate and harass you.

They do not believe in standards of behavior, as they don’t wish their behavior to be judged. Yet they are obsessed with judging those with whom they don’t agree, branding them bigots, racists, misogynists, hateful, deplorables, Fascists, and Nazis. They exist to destroy, not build. Many don’t have kids because they aborted (destroyed) them. They are their religion. The Church of Satan would be the only one in which they’d be comfortable. They are…the most misguided people in the world.

This is not the first time I have stated this, and I am not naïve enough to believe it will change or open any minds, but what we are witnessing in real time is a growing contest between good and evil. Many will think that assertion to be hyperbolic or too simply stated, but it is not. Nor does it give me any pleasure to say this.

Yes, there are some gray areas in life, but there is also, unquestionably, good and evil. God wants us to choose the former, the Devil wants us to opt for the latter. Though many may not know or admit it, much of the Democrat Party, and many of its fellow radicals in various institutions-- and on the streets—have gone all in on the latter.

If we want to make our cities and streets safe again, our institutions trusted again, and our leaders held accountable again, we have to start now. We have to acknowledge that there must be a limit to chaos, immorality, and destruction. Or we will wake up someday soon to find we have aborted our country.

As someone once said—or should have—“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”

Do we want that on our consciences? Is that the world we wish to leave for our kids?

Destruction or construction? Liberty or cravenness and servitude? Tolerance of virtually anything or some standards of decency? Free market capitalism or the economic model of North Korea, Venezuela, and Cuba? Lies or truth?

What will be our legacy?

Democrats Are Fervently Against Secure Election Laws; Why?

There is only one possible reason why Democrats do not want people to have to present an ID when voting. It is the same reason they are so fond of mail-in voting…and perhaps voting via the internet soon. (“Click here if you are 18 or older, an American citizen, and are eligible to vote!”) The vast majority of American citizens are in favor of requiring an ID to vote. In fact, 69% of black folks are in favor of this, and a majority of other minorities, too. Therefore...one would think the people's representatives would honor their wishes. Why wouldn't they?

Think about it.

Yet, instead, Democrats are essentially saying, “Black folk used to be our slaves, so we know how dense and incapable they are.” That is incredibly disgusting and obviously not true. Nor is it the real reason for the Democrats’ intransigence.

If an ID is required, as in almost all other civilized societies, and mail-in voting is limited to military personnel serving overseas, Democrat electoral victories would be far fewer and farther between. And leftists, which comprise the entirety of the party today, will do anything to prevent that from happening. Lies, fraud, and power are a few of their favorite things, and, to them, the greatest of these is power. Period. California and New York have actually made it illegal to show an ID when voting! Rape or murder someone? Not to worry, you’ll likely be back out on the street in no time…without bail! Tried to show your current, valid ID when voting? You might want to get your affairs in order.

So, even if it takes fomenting a civil war to cover up their corruption and protect their voting base, so be it…as Minnesota’s Tim Walz, Jacob Frey, and Ilhan Omar have recently made abundantly clear.

Which is one reason why the SAVE Act, or its equivalent, must be passed and enacted ASAP. If no such voter integrity act is passed, the U.S. will soon become a one-party state…and pass into history, along with individual liberty.

Judges Treating Premeditated Murderer Luigi Mangione With Kid Gloves

 

Luigi Mangione stalked, shot, and killed insurance executive Brian Thompson in cold blood early on December 4th, 2024, outside a New York hotel. He shot Thompson in the back with a 9-millimeter 3D-printed “ghost gun” equipped with a silencer. Premeditated murder should result in a stiff sentence, right?

But rather than simply following the law, New York State Judge Gregory Carro inexplicably chose to treat Mangione with kid gloves. Carro stated, “The defendant’s apparent objective, as stated in his writings, was not to threaten, intimidate, or coerce, but rather, to draw attention to what he perceived as the greed of the insurance industry.” He added, “The defendant emphasized that he wished to spread a ‘message’ and ‘win public support’ about ‘everything wrong with our health system.’”

Luigi didn’t just threaten, intimidate, or coerce, he shot Thompson dead. If he wanted to draw attention to what he perceived as the greed of the insurance industry, he could’ve just pointed to skyrocketing home and auto premiums (though, in truth, there are valid reasons for this, too). Instead of spreading a message, he spread Thompsons blood around. Ironically, one thing “wrong with our health system” is that it can’t cure people who are dead as a result of being shot to death.

Jurisprudence fared no better at the federal level when Judge Margaret Garnett, a recent Biden appointee, decided that Luigi Mangione blowing Thompson away with a handgun wasn’t a “crime of violence.” Really? I’m guessing Thompson would disagree. Especially since Mangione shot him dead. But he can’t disagree…because Mangione shot him dead.

And it is Mangione who has a large and devoted following on social media and elsewhere.

My God, is the Left now claiming there are “mostly peaceful” fatal shootings?! If so, what happened to “gun violence?” Guess it depends on who is shot.

So, in leftist parlance, pre-planned homicides are not “violence,” but misgendering or dead naming someone is “literally violence?”

No insurance policy can protect us from that kind of peril.

Time will tell how Mangione is sentenced, but the death penalty is off the table. He may well be let off with only 25 years in prison and the possibility of parole. That itself would be a crime…premeditated or not.

To SAVE A Nation-- Or Not

 

Nations, like people, typically face a handful of inflection points in their lives. Pivot points. Turning points. A time when it is realized, perhaps even belatedly, that what transpires now will echo through time and possibly change things forever. That what we choose to do now is of great — perhaps existential -- importance.

The Boston Tea Party. The Declaration of Independence. The Civil War. World Wars. To drop “the bomb” or not to drop the bomb. The 1960s. The 1980 presidential election.

We are at another inflection point now. Today. One that we can’t deny, and ignore only at our great peril. And this inflection point is perhaps more multifaceted than any that has come before.

I say that because we, as a nation, have to simultaneously decide several overarching issues.

One: do we still believe in our founding principles of limited government, of, by, and for the people, equal justice under the law, and unalienable rights granted by our Creator? I am not certain we do, especially as regards limited government. Seems most of us want a handout, bennies, “free” stuff.

Two: do most of us really want to protect illegal alien thugs, thieves, rapists, and murderers at the expense of our fellow citizens? Do we wish to continue to ignore staggering, systemic fraud? Are we eternally comfortable with mutilating our children’s genitals and rendering them sterile and pleasureless for life? Do we really want to label abortion “women’s health care?” Are we just fine with denying the existence of objective truth? In other words, will we choose evil over good? Make no mistake, that is what we are deciding.

Three: will we continue to allow our elected representatives to deny our will and refuse to pass and enact voting integrity laws? We all need a valid I.D. to do almost everything else, even mundane things like writing a check, buying beer, renting a car, or boarding a plane. How come those demands aren’t considered “racist” by Democrats, but mandating I.D. to vote for the leader of the free world is beyond the pale? (Even though a large majority of Americans are in favor of voting integrity laws.) Because the 25 million or so illegals they ushered into the country in just the last four years will — sooner or later, preferably sooner -- be allowed, and obligated, to vote for them. There is no other possible reason. None.

Yet Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) says Democrats are primed and ready to defeat a Republican bill intended to fortify election security and limit fraudulent voting. The bill, called the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE Act, passed the House of Representatives in July and is awaiting approval from the Senate before potentially heading to the Trump’s desk. However, Democrats vow to fight tooth and nail to abort the bill and kill any chance that Americans will have confidence that their vote matters and that elections will be transparent and trustworthy … a must for a free democratic republic. Schumer recently proclaimed the SAVE Act to be “dead on arrival in the Senate. He added, "It is a poison pill that will kill any legislation that it is attached to. If House Republicans add the SAVE Act to the bipartisan appropriations package it will lead to another prolonged Trump government shutdown." No, asshat, you just said if the SAVE Act was added to the appropriations package or any other piece of legislation, you and your party would shut the government down. For a prolonged period of time, if necessary. The shutdown would be on you. Again. Though you and your media friends would spin it differently … and Republicans would probably do what they do best and let you have your way with them. Schumer concluded his remarks by saying Democrats would "go all out" to defeat the bill. They are all in on going all out to prevent election integrity and to defy the will of the American people! Really. Amazing.

Evil.

So, this leads us to the fourth and final issue. How we answered the questions pertaining to the three previous issues will likely determine our answer to this one.

Four: given the apparently unbridgeable gulfs between the beliefs of Marxists and Sharia Law-loving Muslims on the one hand, and those of traditional conservatives in flyover country and elsewhere, can  — or should — the union be preserved going forward?

Our Father, who art in Heaven…

Is Minnesota The New South Carolina, Walz The New Jefferson Davis?

 

As recently as a few weeks ago, I would never have believed that Minnesota could play the role of South Carolina in a Second American Civil War, but now I’m not so sure.

KEYC-TV-- Mankato, Minnesota: “According to a post on the Minnesota Department of Public Safety’s (DPS) X account, the Minnesota National Guard has been ‘mobilized’ and are staging to support local enforcement, under the direction of Governor Tim Walz.”

The state’s National Guard has not been deployed as of yet, but will reportedly be readied to “help support public safety.” If that were true, the Guard would help ICE rid the North Star State of illegal alien thugs, thieves, rapists, and murderers. But nothing could be further from the truth.

Walz genuinely appears to be trying to start a civil war in an evil and pathetic effort to protect himself from potential consequences of the massive fraud he has overseen, the laws he has broken, and the bald-faced lies he has told. He is simply trying to stay in office and out of jail. If he manages to achieve either of those things it will be a staggering miscarriage of justice.

Trump encouraged his supporters to “peacefully and patriotically” walk to the Capitol, but Walz just essentially declared war on the federal government. See the difference? And yet it is Trump and his supporters who are smeared as dangerous insurrectionists.

The utterly insufferable Jim Acosta recently interviewed the unspeakably vile Jennifer Welch. Welch made it abundantly clear that, after the mid-term election “Blue Tsunami,” Democrats will have to go after Republicans with a “f*ck you” mentality. She said that Democrats will need to go to any length to prosecute Elon Musk, “Trump and all the bottom-feeding morons surrounding him,” and “a bunch of others.” Acosta and Welch agreed that holding the Trump administration properly accountable means “adding seats to the Supreme Court.” Welch added, “Congress is going to haul Elon Musk“ and “a bunch of other people’s asses in front and say ‘what crimes did you commit’ and it’s going to get really serious.” Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime. That should be much easier with Democrats, though. At least it would be if Republicans had determination, commitment…and balls.

Democrats have been going after Trump and his supporters with a f*ck you mentality since before he first took office, bitches. Holding the Trump administration accountable is beyond laughable after the Obama-Biden Era. And Trump and the Republican congress haven’t held a single significant Democrat criminal accountable thus far! Not for “Crossfire Hurricane,” not for Russia-Collusion, not for election malfeasance, not for trying to get him assassinated. Obama, Hunter and Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Peter Strzok, Adam Schiff, John Brennan, Alejandro Mayorkas—and now Jacob Frey and Tampon Tim Walz—are all still free and mostly unscathed despite their heinous and treasonous actions. Were this a few hundred years ago, words like “guillotine” might be thrown around. But, nothing. Just pointing out a historical fact, not saying I’m a fan.

If Republicans don’t nuke the filibuster immediately and pass the Save Act banning mail-in ballots and mandating I.D. to vote, they will have sentenced themselves—and the union—to a slow but certain death.

Who Are The Fascists Again?

 

A Virginia Commonwealth University nurse recently instructed her TikTok followers to contaminate ICE agents’ food or render them temporarily paralyzed. She did this through a series of social media posts, calmly and with a little smirk on her face. If people can no longer trust nurses or food service personnel, the economy will eventually crash and the country will come apart. A Miami nurse recently allegedly put up a Facebook post stating: “I will not perform anesthesia for any surgeries or procedures for [Make America Great Again]. It is my right, it is my ethical oath, and I stand behind my education. I own all of my businesses and I can refuse anyone!” I stand behind my “education?” Terrifying. If “First, do no harm” is replaced by “First, find out if they disagree with you politically,” we are obviously done as a society.

And they believe MAGA folks are mean?

21-year-old Grace Carol Brown faces arson and burglary charges in New Braunfels, Texas, after she allegedly tried to burn down a county Republican Party headquarters. But I’m sure she was planning to burn it down in a tolerant, mostly peaceful way. At least she’s not MAGA!

The Jackson County, West Virginia, Sheriff’s Office recently announced that a 39-year-old librarian had been arrested following an investigation of a “social media recruitment of individuals to pursue and assassinate President Trump.” She has been charged with one count of “terroristic threats.” 

In a recent interview with somebody named Tim Miller on something called The Bulwark, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz actually stated of Vice-President J.D. Vance, "I would beat the sh*t out of him now if I could." Tampon Tim, who has said one outrageously false thing after another, was recently upbraided by the Holocaust Museum for comparing the situation in Minneapolis to the Holocaust. That could be a first for a sitting governor. Even one who has done everything in his power to foment an insurrection. It may also be the first time a governor openly stated that he wanted to assault the Vice-President of the United States.

But Trump is a fascist!

Elliot Forhan, a Democratic Ohio Attorney General candidate, recently took to ‘X’ to announce his plan to someday execute President Donald Trump, but only following a hypothetical trial and guilty verdict, of course! Gotta be reasonable and fair!

Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner apparently heard of these threats and essentially said, “Hold my beer!”  In a chillingly psychotic speech outside city hall, Krasner said of ICE members (and by extension Trump administration supporters, "This is a small bunch of wannabe Nazis. That's what they are.” The Soros-funded lunatic then told the cheering crowd, "If we have to hunt you [them] down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities.” For emphasis, he added, "We will find you.” Got it. Krasner is vowing that he and his ilk will pursue their erstwhile political opponents across oceans-- and decades-- once they regain power. And then what? Re-education camps? Concentration camps? Not because we wanted to exterminate the Jews, but because we wanted to protect American citizens from illegal alien rapists and murderers…and Make America great Again. Also, it seems like you guys are pro-Hamas and anti-Jewish, what with the college rallies and rhetoric. “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free?” And little Israel will be gone.

But Trump and his supporters are cruel and violent Nazis!

The number of people who want to assault or kill Trump and his supporters is staggering. There has already been at least two assassination attempts on the president. And Charlie Kirk was murdered for politely debating with college kids. Others have been attacked or killed simply for being a Republican or conservative (which are by no means necessarily the same thing.)

It’s a good thing for these violent, mentally ill insurrectionists that Trump is demonstrably not a violent dictator or fascist bent on torturing and exterminating his opponents. It is a remarkably sad thing that so many Americans cannot-- or will not-- see this.

For disagreeing with Leftists politically, Trump supporters have had their hats stolen or knocked off and been kicked out of restaurants. We are often shunned, cancelled, investigated, mocked, or assaulted. And occasionally shot at.

So, who are the Nazis? Maybe none of us. But Krasner and company share far more fascist traits and tendencies than do conservatives or Trump and his supporters.

Excerpts From 'The Diary Of Tim Walz'

 

Excerpts From ‘The Diary Of Tim Walz’:

 

July 4, 1989: Dear diary, visited Tiananmen Square today. It wasn’t scary at all. In fact, I liked the ‘ambience.’ It was cool. In truth, the 10,000 or so people who were killed protesting the Chinese Communist government probably deserved to die. Just sayin.’

November 20, 1997: I really enjoyed my time this year coaching the Mankato West High School football team. Man, it made me feel like a man! I only wish we hadn’t gone 0-8. And that I would’ve been paid. But maybe they didn’t want to pay me ‘cuz of my DUI arrest a couple years ago. Oh, well, I know my worth.

June 9, 2005: This may be my final trip to China with my students. What’s it been, 25 or 30 trips?! It has been a great run. This time around we learned how to haggle with street vendors and had our feet massaged. We have all come away with great respect for this magical land-- the Middle Kingdom-- the center of civilization.

November 7, 2018: I am Governor of Minnesota! I really am! I got elected! Isn’t that so cool?! I can’t wait to get going! I have sooo much I want to do! I can utilize Marxists and Muslims to fundamentally transform this state! Maybe I could even be a VP candidate someday! I gotta pinch myself!

November 9, 2022: I was re-elected! Has anyone deserved this more? I think not! Now we will not only be able to “Feed Our Future” children, at least the ones that aren’t aborted (and I’m all in on that), but place them in Quality Learing Centers run by top-flight Somali day-care providers. LOL! I know I will be able to feed my children well!!

August 6, 2024: Dear diary-- Holy crap, Kamala Harris picked me to be her vice-presidential candidate on the Democratic ticket for 2024! Moi! I am so excited I can’t sit still. It’s hard for me to make this entry as I’m already jazz-handing like a spastic mime! Gavin Newsome has nothing on me!

January 2, 2026: Dear diary, a new year has begun, and it doesn’t look very promising, frankly. My state—and even myself—is being scrutinized because of all the alleged Somali fraud. I must not betray these people, as it would be very bad for me both financially and electorally. Frey, Ellison, Omar, and all the others are with me, for obvious reasons, but now Trump is sending ICE into my fair city. I—I mean we—could lose everything. What we need now is a diversion, the Mother of all Diversions! If only—wait, I’ve got an idea! Sometimes I even surprise myself!

January 20, 2026: Spoke to an energized crowd today outside my mansion. I sorta climbed up a bit on my fence and urged them to keep protesting, ‘peacefully’ (wink, wink), even in the dangerously cold weather. Probably didn’t have to do that as they are paid pretty well, but, what the hell, wanted to make sure they would keep doing everything they could to terrorize and intimidate ICE officers, despite the occasional death of our brave protesters.

January 25, 2026: Today I told the press-- and those who listen to them—that some children in Minnesota now feel fear or uncertainty about going outside due to aggressive federal immigration operations. A bit of hyperbole, but what the hell, gotta make my point! I told ‘em, ‘We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank.’ Right? (Giggle.) Well, ICE makes us all feel like little helpless Jew girls now. 

January 26: Dear diary—How will this all end? I don’t know, but if it takes an effing civil war to take the heat off me, I don’t care. Anyway, it’s Trump’s fault. Everything is. Things are going better than expected so far. It greatly helps that so many Minnesotans are morons, and that so many Republicans are pathetic invertebrates. I honestly think I can get away with everything!

An Ilhan Omar (D-MN) Townhall Speech!

 

An Ilhan Omar (D-MN) Townhall Speech!

 

(There is a large man in the front row, on the aisle, who looks as if he’s been on a nine-year bender. Make that 39-year bender. No MAGA hat, though, as even Ilhan realizes that would be too much. The event camera focuses on the large, disheveled man for no apparent reason.)

Omar speaks: “The Nazis running this country now must be stopped by any means necessary. If not, no one will be safe! Indeed, there could be an undercover ICE member here now.” (Looks up, gives slight nod. Nothing happens.) “I said there could be an undercover ICE member here right now!”

The large man in the front row immediately rises up, approaches Omar and says, “I’ve got a beaker full of apple cider vinegar and I’m not afraid to use it! And a bottle of ketchup for backup in case that doesn’t work! Die, biatch!” (Tosses apple cider vinegar at Omar.)

Omar: “Dear Allah!” (Chases the man off, then falls to the ground.) “I’m melting!” (Terrified people rush in to help her, but, miraculously, she pops up, right as rain. Coincidentally, Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” comes blaring though the hall’s sound system at this very moment.)

Omar (pointing at her assailant) sings: “Go on now go. Walk out the door. Just turn around now ‘cuz you’re not welcome anymore!”

Everyone cheers. Standing ovation. Some have tears in their eyes. She has brought the house down with her veracity and courage.

[Curtain falls]
