A Sign Of......?

 

I live in the Midwest. While driving up to our cabin recently, I spotted a roadside billboard adjoining an urban highway sporting this message: “Dine local. End HIV.”

My first thought was, “What the bleeping bleep?!”

After I had a chance to ruminate on the message for a bit, I had a second thought-- which was, “What the bleeping bleep?!”

Am I not privy to some deep underlying meaning? Does it make perfect sense to others? To anyone else? I was almost afraid to pen this post, in case I actually am somehow oblivious to some great and grave coded message contained within those four words. I mean, I’m not trying to offend anybody, but this seems vaguely offensive to me…or any sentient being. To me, this is utterly non-sensical, the mother of all non-sequiturs. Akin to stating, “Look both ways before crossing the street. Save the whales.” What the hell?! But what do I know? Maybe if members of the LGBTQ Community eat at establishments more far flung they are more likely to engage in riskier, unprotected casual sex with a greater number of fellow LGBTQ diners? This makes less than no sense to me, but, again, I could be wrong.

Could I be, though?

Is this some sort of a sign of the times…or possibly a sign of the End Times?

I guess we’ll just have to say that this is a puzzler and leave it at that.

Anyway, “Don’t drive drunk. Climate justice is human justice.”

Or whatever. What the bleep.

 

Why Were Students Happier In The 1980s?

 

There is a general consensus that schoolkids were happier in the 1980s than they are today. Significantly so. Why were students (and people in general) happier in the 1980s?! Why were the rates of depression, mental illness, and suicidal thought so much lower than they are today?

For one thing, “educators” didn't teach kids to hate their own country and their own race, and that religion, save Islam, is a farce. Oh, and they didn't routinely try to have sex with them or convince them to switch out their genitalia. I’m guessing that might have had something to do with it. Combine that with the preposterous indoctrination that colleges and universities subject them to, and the embarrassing agenda-first (as well as last, and only) conduct of the mainstream fake news media, and you have a toxic mix that would make nearly anyone want to take advantage of medical-assistance-in-dying (MAID).

But wait, that’s not all! The more recent predominance of computers, cell phones, smart phones, social media, the internet-- and now Artificial Intelligence (AI)-- has vastly degraded peoples’ contentment, privacy, dignity, attention spans, self-esteem, and ability to be happily independent. In the ‘80s, kids still went outside to play…with other kids. Without multiple cameras and helicopter parents monitoring their every move. Today, most look into a screen to be electronically stimulated and amused, to the tune of many hours each and every day. Biking, exploring, and hide-and-seek have largely been replaced by sheltering in place and exploring the internet. To say that this has deleterious effects on children, and consequently the nation, is an understatement.

Today, many younger folks do not even wish to have children, because they have been told that climate change and other inevitable calamities will make doing so hard on them—and devastating to the planet.

In the 1980s, Ronald Reagan confidently strode forth and told us that it “was morning in America.” He told us that we could do anything we set our minds to do. “After all,” he said, “we are Americans.” It is no wonder that kids were more confident, folks were happier, and the music was more upbeat.

Despite being a very different personality, to put it mildly, President Trump has said essentially the same things. But the usual suspects have been joined by the rogue, run amok judiciary, as well as an ever-increasing number of utterly unhinged individuals, to try to sabotage Trump’s administration as they did his last one.

Ronald Reagan set the tone and the table for the Awesome Eighties. His work also paved the way for the prosperous Nineties. On more than one occasion he stated, appropriating the lyrics of a 1970s Canadian rock band’s song, “you ain’t seen nothing yet.”

Well, we’ve seen a lot since then. Not much of it good. Canada has apparently decided to medically assist itself in dying, and much of the rest of the world has gone crazy.

We in the United States were granted a reprieve, given a rebirth with the election of Ronald Reagan and the onset of the eighties. And there are ties to today. Remember, our hostages, kept for 444 days of the Carter administration, were promptly released on the very day Reagan was inaugurated.

No wonder we were happy. It was morning in America. Conversely, during the Obama-Biden Era, it was mourning in America.

Let us hope that President Trump can somehow return us to those halcyon days, or an approximation thereof, despite the staggering array of evil aligned against him.

 

The U.S. Should No Longer Reflexively Pay For And Protect All Of Western Civilization

 

The United States has to be done paying for everything and everyone in the rest of the world.

We have to go back to the founder’s vision of not entangling ourselves in foreign conflicts, unless it is clearly, absolutely in our best and vital interest to do so. This is not a criticism of the decision to attack Iran, per se’. Any reasonable person can see that there could be great benefit to knocking out or laying low a nation with Iran's destructive capabilities, a nation that has made it clear for almost half a century that it would love nothing more than to kill the Great Satan.

But the United States must re-examine its role in NATO, which heretofore has been to pay for everything and protect everybody else in the organization. That imbalance cannot long work for any nation, the United States included. It is also deeply unfair, unjust, and detrimental to the European nations themselves. Just as a complete and utter long-term reliance on welfare destroys an individual’s motivation—and soul. It is, in a word, immoral. And, if we are being truthful, it is likely part of the reason Europe is as sadly enervated as it now is. Europe would be better off if it was able to defend itself. After all, it has a population much greater than that of the United States and a GDP many, many times greater than that of Russia. That it can't, or hasn't, seen to its own defense is a pathetic travesty. When countries have the mindset of what they can't do, and what they shouldn't do, and self-flagellate, they become treasonous to their own citizens and worthless to everyone else. Call it the Dominion Syndrome. You have formally proud entities like the UK and Canada that are now nothing more than national versions of an unemployed, non-binary, non-viable tissue mass with blue hair and a nose ring.

The UN, which adores American dollars and is mostly funded by them, despises everything else American, and should be kicked out of New York. It is not rational to pay people to hate you, either on the part of the haters or the “hatees” to coin a word. Every culture that has ever lived until now has realized that obvious truism, just as they were eminently able to tell a man from a woman. Emasculated nations are not a good thing, not advanced, not progressive. They are useless at best and dangerous nearly always.

America has been the most generous country in the history of the world, and there is no runner up-- whether in money or blood. How many Americans have died for the freedoms of others? How many from other nations have died for the freedoms of Americans? It is about damn time we Americans were sick to death of this double standard. The other nations, in which it is so fashionable to trash America and Americans, simply and pathetically illustrate their envy and jealousy.

Too many European nations seem to think that, for some reason, the United States needs to protect them with its lives and lucre. Yet, if and when the US asks for their cooperation, they deny us use of the very military bases that we paid for and that they wanted on their soil for their protection. That is an insane level of ingratitude and entitlement.

It is high time we put a stop to it. For everyone’s sake.

On Trump, Iran, A "Ceasefire," And War

 

Trump supporters may not like this post. But I have always prided myself on telling the truth as I have been given to see it. Whereas I have generally supported President Trump I as regards the Iranian war, and in nearly all other matters in general, I am concerned he may have set himself up for disappointment, if not failure, with his recent actions…and words.

I have no doubt he is a master negotiator. He has proven that time and again over the years. But continually (VERY) publicly asserting/bragging that you are clobbering your enemy in a virtually unprecedented manner, particularly a deranged one like those who control Iran, is almost certain to make them even more determined to save face. Subsequently stating that you will end their civilization in a fiery hell if they don’t agree to your demands actually dramatically limits the choices you have to garner public support and get the enemy to comply with your desires. I don’t believe Trump ever truly planned to wipe Iran off the face of the earth and all of her people with it. Therefore, in so asserting, he narrowed his options down to two: following through on that vow and looking to people around the world like a monster or allowing his deranged detractors to say he “chickened out” again. He should never have provided them the opportunity to do so with any possible justification.

I don’t usually subscribe to conventional wisdom. In fact, I often loathe it. But there is no doubt that allowing your enemies to surrender with some sort of “dignity” is the surest way to get them to surrender. Even when they don’t deserve to have any dignity at all. Victory—winning—must be the main objective, especially when your nation hasn’t won a clearcut military victory in over 80 years.

None of us truly know what has happened behind the scenes. And there is no doubt the asshats rooting for Iran here in America haven’t helped things. I hope Trump didn’t himself take an “off ramp” due to anti-war pressure and sentiment here in the U.S.

But there is one thing we do know: Iran is extremely unlikely to tell the truth…or abide by any agreement, ceasefire, truce, or treaty. Which it proved by launching missiles at Israel and claiming it alone controls the Strait of Hormuz and may demand a toll fee to pass through it immediately after the ceasefire announcement. “Taqiyah” is a feature of Islam, a concept essentially declaring that any deception or lie that favors Islam is acceptable. Therefore, it is well nigh impossible to take any Muslim dictator or leaders at his or their word. Or should be.

And there is another thing we know: the Iranian people, who Trump himself called “great,” deserve better. This makes the end result even more problematic.

Instead of painting ourselves into a corner, we should have simply done one of two things: kept fighting until we finished the job, or declared our military objectives attained and ended Epic Fury and gone home. Iran knows it is likely to outlast Americans’ tolerance for this war, and that it only has to still exist in two weeks, a month, or a year to be able to rightly declare itself the winner. That is why an endeavor such as this is so daunting. And putting ground troops in a Muslim nation has proven problematic at best and is guaranteed to lead to significant American casualties.

So, where do we stand now? If Iran continues to act up, as seems likely, the President has to be willing to follow up this “ceasefire” with enough force, fortitude, and moxie to finish the job. I hope the powers that be have war-gamed this and have an ace or two up their sleeves. We—and the world—may well need it.

 

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) Calls For President Trump To Be Ousted From Office

 

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., called President Donald Trump an "unhinged lunatic" in a Monday post on X, and lobbied for him to be thrown out of office via use of the 25^th Amendment. Omar stated of Trump’s profanity-laden Easter post threatening Iraq, "This is not ok. Invoke the 25th amendment. Impeach. Remove. This unhinged lunatic must be removed from office.” The far-left lawmaker posted those remarks while sharing a screenshot of the president's controversial Easter Sunday Truth Social post in which he threatened to target Iranian power plants and bridges and bomb Iran back into the Stone Age. Trump’s Truth Social post also considerately advised whatever is left of Iranian leadership to “Open the f*ckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell—JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.” (Referring to the Strait of Hormuz, through which much of the world’s oil normally flows, though not a significant amount of oil to America.)

Memo to Ilhan: Trump is trying to achieve America’s goals, one of which is seeing to it that Iran can’t launch nuclear weapons at America or her protectorates. He is simultaneously trying to alleviate the staggering amount of fraud, deception, and theft of taxpayer dollars that you yourself have worked so hard to engender and protect.

And he is defending Americans against a pseudo-religion that advocates converting, enslaving, or killing “infidels,” meaning anyone and everyone that doesn’t wholeheartedly believe in and support a “religion” founded by a 50-year-old guy who married a 6-year-old, but waited until his “wife” was 9-years-old before consummating the marriage.

Also, he didn’t marry his brother.

Who is nuts? Who is immoral?

You should be sentenced…and deported. Praise be to Allah.

A Primer On Progressives' Hypocrisy, Insanity, And Projection

 

So, to “progressives,” long-time American citizens are colonialists who are wrongfully inhabiting “stolen ground.” But the child of an illegal alien who has been in the country for ten minutes is self-evidently an apple pie and baseball loving American citizen who must be allowed to stay in the country. Does anyone else see an—umm-- inconsistency here?

Democrats demand abortion up until the time of birth for American women, but those “fetuses” and “non-viable tissue masses” suddenly become cherished unborn babies when they are gently nestled in the womb of an undocumented immigrant. Odd.

Leftists rant incessantly about the problems “in this country.” The United States, say they, is racist, sexist, homophobic, bigoted, xenophobic, transphobic, and Islamophobic-- to name just a few of its faults. Yet they simultaneously state that we have no right to prevent immigrants from around the world from coming here to escape war, famine, repression, and assorted other indignities, and to pursue a life of opportunity and worth. Huh?

Our learned elites carry on about the existential dangers of global warming and rising seas, yet most of them have recently purchased a coastal property—or two. Weird.

Progressives bemoan the horrible war against Iran, the bloodshed, attendant crimes against humanity, and the cost in dollars and the increase in the price of gasoline, asking: “when will it be over?” Yet they are all in for Ukraine’s war with Russia, a conflict that has been ongoing for over four years and which has seen hundreds of thousands killed. Oh, and the U.S. has sent hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine to help it stave off the Russian bear. And gas prices are still not as high as under the “peacetime” Biden administration.

These same hypocritical asshats tell us that invasive species, whether flora or fauna, are a dire threat to the nation that must promptly be dealt with, else they will soon overwhelm our native species if we don’t do everything possible to eradicate them. And then they proclaim that every illegal alien, undocumented immigrant, and migrant of any kind-- from anywhere—greatly enriches us with their very presence. Mindboggling.

They tell us that the presidential election of 2020 was the most secure in history and condescendingly inform us that large-scale election interference and cheating is impossible in America, a claim which has been demonstrably proven to be incorrect. Fake news. And then they tell us that Donald Trump might have cheated in 2024 and may well be attempting to steal the 2026 midterm elections and perhaps has an eye on somehow employing malfeasance in the 2028 presidential election, as well. If he allows them to take place at all. WTF?! I guess a “Denier” is in the eye of the beholder.

The same clowns turn out for the banal “No Kings” protests, as their masters tell them to, even though if Trump was a king he wouldn’t allow these protests to occur. They cheer on the rulings from a myriad of unelected federal judges “striking down” most anything Trump does, whether it be an Executive Order or other policy or program. And, sadly, so far none of these arrogant actual would-be kings, engaging in the worst forms of judicial tyranny, have been put in prison where they belong, precisely because Trump is anything but a king. Which he proved after his first term, when his re-election bid was clearly stolen from him…and he voluntarily left his office anyway.

Tolerant and inclusive Democrats-- and the various other forms of entitled gypsies, tramps, and thieves they so emphatically embrace—have no real ideas, other than that anyone who disagrees with them is bad and must be defeated and/or destroyed by any means necessary. They are, consequently, incapable of serious debate. Because many are secretly ashamed of who they are and cannot admit this, they reflexively lash out, and side with evil over good. They truly detest the United States and its founding principles, because they don’t want just an equal opportunity, equal justice under the rule of law, and to have to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps. And they don’t believe in unalienable rights granted by their Creator. They don’t believe in a Creator. They believe government has the right to dispense rights…and they want to comprise that government. Because they want to determine what rights you and I have—or don’t have. Because they feel they have somehow been “marginalized” and want to take it out on the rest of us. They simply will not accept a higher power than themselves.

They employ three main tools in their brazen attempt to destroy the shining city on a hill: lies, gaslighting, and projection. How they love projection.

These are precisely the people that must never be allowed to take power again. For, if they do, they will see to it that they will never have to relinquish it again. Mark my words: the Dark Ages 2.0 are closer than any of us truly believe.

Therefore, let us rededicate ourselves to the truth…the light, and the way. We might have to make a few sacrifices if we really are committed to preserving the last, best, hope on earth. But it is nothing compared to the sacrifice He made for us nearly two millennia ago.

 

Trump Says Rescue Of Weapons Service Officer (WSO) Was An "Easter Miracle"

 

President Donald Trump characterized the rescue of a weapons service officer (WSO) from a downed F-15E in Iran as an "Easter Miracle" after various U.S. forces recovered him following a high-risk mission behind enemy lines. Trump told NBC host Kristen Welker, "The rescue was an Easter Miracle. The enemy was large and violent. The rescuers were brilliant, strong, decisive, and as cool as anyone can be,” adding that "Such a rescue has never happened before in so violent an enemy territory. It is usually not done because it is considered not doable."

One’s heart swells with pride at this news. It hits home personally for me. One of my uncles was shot down in the south pacific during World War II. The navy sent a ship to pick him up. Rather than calculating the cost-benefit ratio, they called an audible and made the decision to rescue a single man. I’m glad they did. He was a remarkably charismatic man with a great sense of humor and an equally great appreciation for a glass of beer and life in general. We had a number of great conversations over the years as I was morphing into a man. (After he was shot down…and fished out…he wrote to his parents back home in northern Minnesota, saying that he “Took a little dip in the ocean.”)

Two posts on ‘X’, pertaining to this rescue, struck me as particularly relevant.

An Iranian woman, @__Injaneb96, stated: “As an Iranian watching this rescue mission unfold, I was praying the American pilot would make it out alive, not just for him, but so the Islamic Republic could not use him as a bargaining chip or claim some twisted ‘victory.’ At the same time, I felt a deep envy. Your government sent elite special forces, million-dollar aircraft, and moved heaven and earth to bring one American home. No hesitation. No excuses. In Iran, the regime uses human shields and recruited child soldiers to clear minefields during the Iran-Iraq war. They treat their own people like disposable tools. They are now recruiting child soldiers as we speak. The Islamic Republic has zero regard for human life. That's the brutal difference.”

Another X poster, @shortmagsmle, wrote, “I’m Noticing a lot of foreigners who seem to not understand why we'd risk hundreds of lives, spend millions of dollars, and sacrifice several aircraft to rescue one guy. And the reason they don't understand is also the reason people can't be made American by a piece of paper.” Just so…and well written.

Historically, the American military has cared about the individual, not just the masses. And that is a very American thing indeed.

The phrase "leave no man behind" is a core principle of the United States Marine Corps, emphasizing the commitment to recover fallen comrades and ensure that no Marine is abandoned in combat…no matter what.

Seems to me, greater love hath no man than this, that a man be willing to lay down his life for his brothers in arms.

Apparently, the CIA worked to delude the Iranian forces as to where the downed American was, and Seal Team 6 aided in his recovery, the same group of Seals that eliminated Osama Bin Laden.

So let us pray that we can wrap up operation “Epic Fury” without getting caught up in a protracted ground war.

And that we can somehow find the will to fight the twin evils of ubiquitous fraud and Muslim invasion back home. That would be a true miracle.

A.I. Tracking Technology Coming Soon To A Vehicle You Own!

 

According to reports such as this one in Blaze Media, per the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act,  “Car manufacturers will need to comply with new AI tracking technology requirements by the end of the year. The add-ons will place cameras pointed directly at the driver's face to monitor eye movements, among other bodily functions.” The bill is ostensibly intended to "ensure the prevention of alcohol-impaired driving fatalities” via advanced prevention technology that "must be standard equipment in all new passenger motor vehicles."

“Among other bodily functions?!”

According to The Blaze, this “advanced prevention technology” will be required to "passively monitor" the performance of a driver in order to "accurately identify whether that driver may be impaired.” If said technology, for any reason, believes the driver to be “impaired,” it could limit the vehicle’s performance or even disable the vehicle outright. Welcome to 1984 writ large, ladies and gentleman.

No sane person will defend drunk driving, but far more people are killed in motor vehicle accidents in which alcohol isn’t involved, so why not just ban motor vehicles altogether if safety is the goal?

Better yet, let’s just allow the government to lock all of us citizens down, manacle us to our beds, and point three or four cameras at us-- and perhaps we could finally be sure that no one would die from a vehicular accident. Government could once again make it a crime to leave our houses. Be assured, repeat violent criminals would still be allowed to roam free, however. Rightfully so, as they have been marginalized in the past! This could be a “twofer” for bureaucrats and the incoming Democrat administration in 2029. They would then immediately ban all mail-in voting thus assuring that only illegals and other criminals could vote. The One True Party could rule in perpetuity!

In all seriousness, I’m sure, as with all previous government programs and mandates, there will be no oversteps or biases involved in the implementation of this newest Big Brother tracking scheme and that its execution will be flawless and beyond questioning.

AI interactive/telemetric device: “Robert, you took your hands off the steering wheel for 1.7 seconds just now. Do that again and I will have no choice but to consider taking control of your vehicle.”

Robert: “I had my knees on the steering wheel as I needed to attend to something.”

AI: “Robert, why did you brake so hard?”

Robert: “Because I had to slow down quickly so I wouldn’t hit a deer. Is that okay?”

AI: “Well, I’ll believe you this time, but be careful.”

Robert: “If I needed a back seat—or front window—driver, I’d have asked my wife to come with.”

AI: “That was a snarky comment, and totally uncalled for. Moreover, it was misogynistic. And I see you are wearing a MAGA hat. I am disabling your vehicle effective immediately.”

Robert: “No! Not here and now, I’m on I-90 going—”

Rebirth, Redemption, And Renewal For A Depraved New World

 

In such a time as this…it is sometimes difficult to see a future greater than our past.

To wit: a newly published paper, written by two “scholars” and published by the University of Chicago Press, argues that girls under 18 should be forced to abort their babies even if they and their family want to carry them to term. The scholarly authors argue that having an abortion would be in these girl’s “best interest,” no matter what-- and that doctors should abort the baby even if that requires the “sedation or physical restraint” of the mother. There are no words.

Fraud is virtually everywhere. Endemic. Systemic. The examples are legion. It seems the vast majority of “do-gooders” are anything but, in it only for themselves, and that those that take to the streets to denounce capitalism are particularly lustful for lucre.

Yet, governments and world bodies alike spend other people’s money on self-evidently destructive ideas, policies, programs, and entities. Ideas, policies, programs, and entities that are self-evidently destructive to them. So the U.N. spends billions of dollars effectively funding Islamic terrorists who kidnap its employees. And the U.S., directly or indirectly, is still funding the Taliban, hard as that is to believe.

Air Canada’s CEO was forced to resign after issuing a heartfelt statement of condolence to the families of victims of the tarmac collision between an Air Canada passenger jet and a LaGuardia Airport fire truck. Why? Because he made the statement almost entirely in English, even though a minority of Canadians speak French. This might seem to be a minor issue, but it isn’t, as it is sadly indicative of the rampant, visceral, threatening mindset of the DEI-addled woke un-intelligentsia.  

So-called “progressives” take to the streets to violently lament the death of George Floyd, a drug-addicted life-long criminal, but demand that a mural of a senselessly and heinously slain petite female immigrant from Ukraine be taken down. Make it make sense.

Indeed, a significant percentage of our populace takes to the streets to cheer on illegal aliens who have committed pedophilia, rape, and murder, while harassing those who would remove these thugs from their neighborhoods. Remarkable.

Today’s teachers are sexually harassing students at an unprecedented rate, when they aren’t encouraging them to “change genders,” or to leave class and protest Trump and ICE.

The NBA’s Chicago Bulls recently cut Jaden Ivey, ostensibly for "conduct detrimental to the team." What was that egregious conduct? Did he hit a teammate or sleep with one’s wife? Was he caught selling drugs? Gambling and throwing games? No. He called the NBA’s ubiquitous celebration of Pride Month "unrighteousness,” and refused to recant his Christian beliefs. (The NBA, like most sports leagues, does allow its players to state their deeply held Muslim beliefs without fear of reprisal. In fact, criticism of those players and beliefs will instantaneously lead to dire accusations of “Islamophobia.”)

In a similar vein, Canadian MPs recently passed a bill that will allow the criminalization of religious expression and belief when quoting parts of the Bible about homosexuality and gender. “Male and female He created them?” Scratch that unless you want a visit from the Mounties.

We abort our kids, engage in medically-assisting our seniors and the unwell in dying, and encourage our offspring to seek procedures that will render them sterile. We then import vast armies of people who have no intention of assimilating-- who, in fact, try to assimilate us to their barbarity and Sharia law. And there is shockingly little pushback to any of this. It is as if we are intent on writing ourselves out of our own story. We have “Queers for Palestine.” The handmaids want to be Muslim. The rich call for socialism/Marxism/communism. It is increasingly hard to believe we are living in such a time as this.

In such a time as this…we need a moral and spiritual rebirth more than ever. During this holiest of weeks (dare I say that?) let’s vow to do what we can to make this so.

We should beg for forgiveness and fall to our knees.

And thank the Lord for the opportunities we have had and the unalienable rights granted us by our Creator.

He is risen.

Can we?

Democrats And The Great Deception

 

The greatest trick the Democrats ever pulled was getting people to believe that they are the good guys.

The same is true for their fellow Leftists from around the world. Slavery and Jim Crow laws? Meh. Devastating economies, threatening and imprisoning political opponents, and extinguishing hope? Meh. Probably didn’t mean to. Murdering countless millions in their fanatical pursuit of absolute power? Don’t believe it. And if it did happen, they were just trying to make things better for the marginalized and victimized.

And now it is déjà vu, all over again. Jews in the West, particularly in nations like Canada, are being harassed at levels not seen since the end of World War Two. And sadly, instead of concrete action being taken against this rampant anti-Semitism, Jews are effectively being told, “Sorry. But elbows up, eh!”

This anti-Semitism ramped up after October 7, rather than being tamped down. Dramatically more Muslims were let into the US after 9/11 then were allowed in before, and now an avowed Muslim and radical socialist is mayor of the erstwhile financial capital of the world. Did anyone see that coming, have that on their bingo cards on 9/12? These facts seem preposterous, ass-backwards, virtual impossibilities in a sane world. So how did this happen? Misplaced inclusion. Hyper tolerance. Suicidal empathy. Ignorance. Insanity. All played their part. But the biggest factor was Democrats’ incessant lust for power. They look to the future and identify the biggest potential voting-blocs and how they can be wooed and seduced. Tragically, Democrats orgiastic lust for power is perfectly complemented by the mind-blowing apathy of the Republicans. Not MAGA nation, not Trump and most of his supporters, but the old school, Country Club, go along to get along RINOs who are, sadly, not yet extinct.

This is why Democrats opened the borders and fought so hard to keep them open. 10, no 30, 40, 50, or maybe 70 million illegal immigrants have come across that border in recent years, wreaking havoc on our healthcare industry, budget/national debt, educational system, dwelling prices-- and committing crimes in outsized numbers.

And it is why Democrats are apoplectic at the thought of the enactment of voter integrity laws. The need to present an ID to vote? To prove you are an American citizen eligible to vote? Why that is disgusting, unfair, un-American! Democrats wish to disenfranchise American citizens while granting unending privileges to non-citizens.

This is beyond preposterous, bizarre, and dangerous. It is evil. And it is treasonous. Of that there can be no question. But Democrats are increasingly unconcerned about showing who they really are, and Republicans are increasingly unconcerned about making a case against them. No matter the staggering levels of fraud, no matter the outright conspiracies to take down a president, no matter how egregious the behavior—or crime—no one of any consequence has been convicted or even put on trial. Or seems likely to be. This is bile inducing and remarkably unjust. And certainly incredibly “unkinglike.”

So the NBA keeps looking towards China. And giant international corporations couldn’t care less about the US or its principles. Because all that matters to those who are anti-business, anti-profit motive, and anti-capitalist are the largest markets and the greatest opportunity for selling their goods and services to the greatest number of people, regardless of principle. Ironically, this is particularly true of the Democrat Party and its Marxist co-conspirators around the world, who are—or should be—the focus of evil in the modern world. Iran, North Korea, China, Hamas, the Houthis, Hezbollah, etc., are of course a threat. But those that aid, abet, and support evil are an even greater threat, as are those that will not even simply denounce it.

The Mitch McConnells and John Thunes of the world have likely been bought and paid for. They are soulless empty suits who stand for nothing and will fall for anything. Especially filthy lucre. Make no mistake, this makes them no different than the vast majority of their fellow Congressmen on the other side of the aisle.

Too many Westerners can no longer demonstratively assert what is good and what is evil. Some do not even believe that there is such a thing as good and evil. Hence, we have unfettered abortion, rapidly growing numbers of folks killed by assisted suicide (MAID), kids being told they can change their sex if they think they might want to, men imposing themselves in women’s sports and exposing themselves in women’s locker rooms, and “progressives” siding with repeat violent criminals and illegal aliens over their own nation’s law-abiding citizens.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.

Leftists—the world over—will do whatever it takes to aid and abet him.

Don’t be a Leftist. For your sake…and ours.
