Is The Writing On The Wall?

 

Terror attack here. Terror attack there. Criminals coddled. Parents and patriots targeted. There is a culture war raging. A war for the country’s soul. A war to determine who we really are and what we’ll soon become. And if all that came before and led us to this point has been in vain. A war to determine if government of, by, and for the people will perish from the Earth. No matter where you are on the political spectrum, that is not hyperbole. Will the United States maintain—and perhaps even enhance—some of its founding principles? Or will it inexorably morph into another failed Marxist entity and become an unusually large third world nation…to the detriment of everyone to come, and the desecration of all those who sacrificed to ensure her freedom and prosperity?

Let us hope and pray this looming conflict is not a shooting war, but one that can be fought and won verbally. This is not an impossibility, as evidenced by The Cold War. And, though the Revolutionary War necessarily was a violent shooting one, it was enormously influenced by some of history’s best writing, composed by authors such as Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine, James Madison, and Thomas Jefferson. Writing that stated our case, steeled our spines, and soothed our souls.

That kind of writing-- that kind of persuasiveness—is sorely lacking today. No one expects another ‘Declaration of Independence’ or ‘Common Sense’ to appear anytime soon. The same can be said of The Federalist Papers. But where is the passion, the commitment, the dedication, the courage, and the resolve amongst today’s conservatives?

What we need are people competent enough to launch a logical, cohesive-- yet monumental-- verbal broadside, with words strung together as if fired from a Hedgehog rocket launcher. And that shoot off the page and explode in readers’ minds. Complete with a breathtaking grand finale. When this stupendous, all-out lingual assault is over, it should leave its intended victims rendered (figuratively) lifeless on the ground, unable to muster a cogent reply.

Mark Steyn can do this. The late P.J. O’Rourke could, too. But precious few other writers, before or since, have both the courage and the talent to pull it off.

Instead, as I have often noted here, Republicans (not a synonym for conservatives) too often reflexively ‘turtle’ and snatch defeat from the jaws of near certain victory. This is embarrassing and repugnant, but they continue to do it anyway.

I’ll close with a quote from Thomas Paine: “Some writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher.”

Amen. Seems like Common Sense,

What Would Frederick Douglass And Martin Luther King Do?

 

True emancipation for black folks will come only when they free themselves from the ‘Democratic’ Party that formerly enslaved their bodies-- and more recently their minds and souls. Fortunately, to do this, they do not need the assistance of an Abraham Lincoln or a Ulysses S. Grant, only the conviction to act of their own free will. The decision to quit partaking in what is a barely disguised vote-for-cash-and-services scam is sadly not an easy one for a great many people of any color, though it should be. Leaving the plantation of enervation, entitlement, bitterness, indolence, and indignity requires awareness, character and integrity. And an independence of mind and spirit. Things that Frederick Douglass and Martin Luther King, Jr. possessed in abundance-- and to great effect.

If the presidential election of 2024 is any indication, perhaps, ever so slowly, the proverbial worm is turning. The growing insanity of the Democrat party and the nauseating condescension and disdain elites constantly exhibit towards those who would disagree with them-- or disobey them-- seems to have finally repulsed and awakened many in nearly every demographic group, with the possible exception of young, single, white women (A.K.A. “Karens.”)

The stunningly smug and entitled outlook of top Democrats was perfectly—if accidentally—summed up by President Biden when he told Charlamagne tha God on his popular Breakfast Club radio show: “If you have a problem figurin’ out whether you’re for me or…Trump, than you ain’t black.” Nice of the old white master to tell black folks that dare to think for themselves that they are not, in fact, black folks.

Blexit is in truth an entrance to a new world, one marked by a rebirth of freedom.

People such as Tyrus, Joe Rogan, Hotep Jesus, and Sage Steele comprise what can be essentially described as a new, if figurative Underground Railroad.

Let freedom ring.

 

President Trump Speaks-- In My Dream?

 

I must admit that I am not sure if I really heard this speech by President Donald Trump, or if I dreamt it. Or perhaps it’s just how I interpreted the speech he actually gave. In any case, here’s what I thought he said—or should have:

“My fellow Americans, we will let all nations know, whether they wish us well or ill, that things have changed as of today. To our allies: we will no longer provide your protection for free, and hand you billions of dollars only for you to mock or denigrate us. To our enemies: we will no longer give you a pass, no longer allow you to fly balloons or other aircraft over our sovereign nation-- and no longer put up with assorted other threats and indignities. There will be HELL TO PAY if you continue to attempt to do so.

“From January 20^th of 2021 until January 20^th of 2025, four years that will live in infamy, our nation was continuously degraded from within, economically, militarily, and culturally. And, as President Reagan warned us, ‘Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. The only way they can inherit the freedom we have known is if we fight for it, protect it, defend it, and then hand it to them with the well-fought lessons of how they in their lifetime must do the same. And if you and I don’t do this, then you and I may well spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it once was like in America when men were free.’ I promise you I will fight, fight, FIGHT for your freedoms. And we will ‘build back better’ than ever before! And we will ‘fundamentally transform’ America back to what she used to be: the greatest nation on the face of the earth. Our border will be secured, crime will no longer pay, we will be energy independent, our intelligence agencies will no longer be weaponized against any one political party, entity, or individual, and the impartial rule of law will be reinstated. Our public schools will be depoliticized, and the number of genders officially governmentally recognized will correspond precisely with what our maker intended. (Some of you may remember, ‘male and female He created them.’)

“Finally, might I add that it is time to once again treat our own citizens better than those who enter our country illegally and with bad intent.

“My fellow Americans, the world will little note, nor long remember, what I say here, but it will never forget what I am about to do here. Semper Fi! Let’s roll!”

The Rape Of Europe, Approved By Its Leaders

 

Western Europe is squandering the Enlightenment. It appears dead set on returning to darkness (emphasis on dead). Consider this: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is apparently onboard with threatening to arrest Americans-- thousands of miles away across the Atlantic Ocean-- if they dare to criticize, or even speak of, the Pakistani/Muslim rape gangs that have been assaulting the little girls of his nation for many years now. Can anyone, or anything, be more batsh*t crazy than that? Starmer is apparently the product of modern-day public schooling and has forgotten that England’s erstwhile ‘colonies’ declared independence way back in 1776. He may also be unaware that, though England still has a king, he does not have power over the rest of the world-- and, also, he isn't one anyway.

Nonetheless, the Prime Minister is on record as essentially saying that those criticizing the actions and policies of his government will face “the full force of the law.” He stressed that “the criminal law applies online as well as offline.” Britain’s police, Home Office, National Crime Agency, and Department of Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) are all working to ensure people are prosecuted for online criminal activity, according to reports. And these unapproved online comments may lead to prison time, if England’s finest have their way. When “science” is used to quell inquiry, dissent, and speech, a nation is effectively done for.

Starmtrooper should focus on trying to keep England from further sliding into irrelevancy, rather than on antagonizing what turned out to be the best friend and partner it has ever had. If British citizens-- like those of California-- weren't lobotomized by progressive propaganda and enervated by a creeping Marxism, they would force the crazy treasonous moron to resign.

London's Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley told Sky News back in August that British officials would not only be cracking down on British citizens for unfavored commentary on the anti-rape gang riots then occurring in the United Kingdom but would go after American citizens as well. Rowley stated, "We will throw the full force of the law at people. And whether you’re in this country committing crimes on the streets or committing crimes from further afield online, we will come after you.” Who the hell does he think he is? Does he think ‘Rule Brittania’ is still a thing and that the sun never sets on the English Empire? And that it is now a Marxist police state? (Okay, that last part seems accurate.)

As it happens, I myself have written several pieces extremely critical of British politicians’ malfeasance as regards these rape gangs. Am I to be on the receiving end of British justice?

Excuse me, there is someone at my door. I see a couple of black Rolls-Royces bearing Union Jacks in the driveway. That’s odd. Hmm, wonder what they want?

Oh, crap! Sorry folks, gotta go!

Can A.I., In The Hands Of Evil, Be Stopped?

 

A.I. can be used for good or bad just like any other invention or technology. The real problem is that it may become so advanced that bad people, who will never stop trying to use it for evil, will not be able to be thwarted because good folks will not act quickly and decisively enough to oppose it. Because they don't want to believe anybody would use it for that kind of evil…and because they want to be tolerant, non-judgemental, or even wish to compromise. At that point, in the case of this new technology, it will be too late. These tolerant tendencies of the non-evil could lead to total devastation when the technology evildoers employ and/or control reaches a certain level of capability, complexity, and even potentially sentience. There can be no compromise with abject evil, especially if in control of the most advanced technology, if a functional society is to survive.

We are not talking about 20^th Century nuclear weapons technology, which is scary enough in itself, but of something far more subtle, pervasive, and sinister. Something of which we may not even be aware. Something which may someday escape the grasp and control of all of us. Something which, if it isn’t used to eliminate us, could effectively enslave us forever.

A corollary: can someone who promotes—or ‘tolerates’-- policies that historically and predictably result in destitution, crime, chaos, death, and destruction truly be called a good person? Can the same be said of those who will not try to address what I believe to be the coming technological tipping-point? Or of those who don’t wish to offend evil?

In the end, I think not.

 

My Predictions For The Rest Of 2025

 

My Predictions For The Rest Of 2025:

*January 20—A number of Democrats don’t attend the inauguration of Donald Trump, prompting most Americans to say, “Don’t care. Screw ‘em.”

*January 21—Democrats start new impeachment proceedings against President Trump.

*January 30—U.S. chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley admits that the drones flying over the East Coast have “been ours all along.” He added, “My bad, I should’ve mentioned this before, but I’ve been distracted lately trying to save our democracy from Donald J. Trump.”

*January 31-- U.S. chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley recants his previous statement, now saying that he has “no idea who or what” is flying the drones over the U.S.

*February 1-- U.S. chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley swears that both of his previous statements concerning drone overflights of America’s East Coast have been “misinterpreted.” He now claims that, even though the drones have recently been proven to have Chinese markings on them, they are “likely from a scary alien planet that is cleverly trying to make it seem like the drones are Chinese.” He vows to alert his Chinese counterparts if Trump should decide to take assertive action against them.

*February 2—Several ‘RINOS’ step outside the Capitol Building offices, see their shadows, and scurry back inside, vowing not to come back out until Donald Trump is gone.

*February 10—California Governor Gavin Newsome announces that those arsonists whose fires have caused less than $10,000 in damage will no longer be prosecuted.

*February 14—The Bidens, Schumers, and Pelosis have dinner at a favorite Chinese restaurant in D.C. For some reason, they are ‘comped.’

*February 16—The WHO, CDC, NIH, UN, and Dr. Fauci say the ‘Quad-demic’ of flu, norovirus, RSV, and COVID-25 mandate the total lockdown of everybody in the world.

*February 17—Pfizer announces that its new ‘Quad-demic’ mRNA vaccine is available worldwide…and is completely safe and 100% effective, adding, “No joke.”

*February 25—Barack Obama’s 17^th ‘memoir’ hits bookstore shelves.

*February 25—Hillary Clinton’s 5^th book explaining how she wrongfully lost the 2016 election to Trump hits bookstore shelves.

*March 17—Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tearfully tells a gathering of news sources that “Not all Irish people are drunks. Some of them aren’t even Leprechauns. And not all of them are lucky, if you know what I mean.” No one does.

*April 1—Trump takes to Truth Social to say he is determined to invade Greenland, Panama, and Canada…all at the same time. He adds, “Just kidding! April fools!” Politifact and Snopes rate Trump’s “Just kidding” claim “false.”

*April 15—It dawns on most Americans that they really aren’t free-- in the sense that their government demands they hand over a very significant portion of their income in exchange for…the state doing things they fervently wish it didn’t. The concept of “taxation without representation” resurfaces.

*May 1—President Trump announces he has officially renamed the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America.

*May 2—Trump adds that he has also officially renamed New Mexico “West Texas.”

*May 26—President Trump, celebrating Memorial Day, urges Americans to focus on what is truly supposed to be observed and acknowledged, not the “frivolous stuff like barbeques and beer.” Snopes calls his statement “misinformation” and rates it “mostly false.”

*June 6—Minority leaders introduce legislation that would permanently ban the observation of the D-Day landings in favor of a perpetual federal holiday to be annually observed on January 6 acknowledging the “unprecedented existential horror of the massive Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol-- and democracy itself.”

*June 15—‘Squad’ members unequivocally state that acknowledging dads on this date serves only to perpetuate the straight, white, patriarchal hierarchy and the overarching “white supremacy.”

*June 28—The Chicago White Sox are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.

*July 4—An MSNBC talking-head solemnly notes: “Celebrating July fourth, or any American holiday, is equivalent to condoning colonialism, slavery, genocide, misogyny, the destruction of our planet, Islamophobia, Transphobia, white supremacy, and irritable bowel syndrome.”

*August 3—Temperatures soar to temperatures commonly historically seen in early August, causing Al Gore and others of his ilk to state, “We now only have 6 years to save the planet by drastically reducing our greenhouse gases.” This in turn causes Americans, en masse, to realize they have precious little time to rid themselves of Al Gore and others of his ilk before their presence on the planet becomes utterly insufferable.

*September 2— Hillary Clinton says she could have beaten Trump in 2024.

*September 3—Joe Biden says he could have beaten Trump in 2024.

*September 4—Joe Biden passes away.

*September 9—Hillary and Bill Clinton, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, and Nancy Pelosi—among others—profess their unwavering and extraordinary love for Joe Biden at his funeral. Nancy Pelosi glowingly eulogizes, fighting back tears.

*October 11—The Rolling Stones announce worldwide tour dates for 2026 and 2027.

*November 17—Gavin Newsome announces that California is now also a ‘sanctuary state’ for disgraced Democrat politicians.

*December 31—CNN’s Anderson Cooper accidentally vomits on air after guzzling a glass filled with a mix of Wild Turkey and Clorox Bleach and taking several prolonged bong hits to celebrate the New Year.

 

L.A.'s Deputy Mayor For Public Safety On Leave For Alleged Bomb Threat

 

Apparently, there’s still more to be said about the Los Angeles area fires. Turns out, not only did Democratic Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass leave her town after she knew dangerous winds were imminent amidst fire-friendly conditions to attend a wedding party in Ghana, but Brian Williams, the deputy mayor of public safety in Los Angeles who was appointed by Bass, was unavailable during this crisis as well. Why? Because he’s been on administrative leave for nearly a month after being implicated in a bomb threat made against the Los Angeles City Hall. Got it?

FBI agents raided the deputy mayor’s home a few days before Christmas, on suspicion that he had called in a bomb threat to L.A.’s City Hall back in October. Los Angeles police officers opened an investigation into the threat, subsequently handing it off to federal agents because of the suspect's close connection with their department.

The LAPD released a statement reading: "Our initial investigation revealed that the source of the threat was likely from Brian Williams, Deputy Mayor for Public Safety. Due to the Department’s working relationship with Mr. Williams, the investigation was referred to the FBI. The FBI remains the investigating agency."

The City of Angels’ Deputy Mayor for Public Safety (apparently) called in a bomb threat to the City Hall of the very burg he was paid to protect?! While the mayor was partying in Africa? Good God!

This is more than “incompetence.” It is worse than inaction. You wouldn’t think a man charged with keeping a municipality safe would have to be told, “first, do no harm” or “please don’t bomb City Hall!”

I have often expressed the opinion here that the elites and authorities currently in power don’t much care for the people they are sworn to serve. Many don’t want to believe this, for it is a tragic and sobering notion. But, as this tragedy has so clearly illustrated, it is nonetheless true.

The rot, the sickness, the depravity must be removed, root and branch. City by city, state by state.

 

California Burning And The Intolerable Acts

 

The ongoing wildfires in Southern California are mindful of Hell and are a clear and unavoidable illustration of the rank incompetence of state and local leaders. The ever-expanding homeless camps, the rising crime rates, the faltering power grid, and now the inability to douse a fire that’s been raging for a week, make it all too obvious that the erstwhile Golden State-- the Land of Milk and Honey—is morphing into a third world entity. Sad. Heartbreaking, really.

At its core, government is supposed to physically protect us and defend our freedoms. That is why governments were instituted. Today, Democrat-run governments are stripping freedoms from those whom they supposedly serve, and simultaneously exposing them to ever-growing danger. Californians pay some of the highest taxes in the nation…and are receiving next to nothing for them. Government of, by, and for the people has been replaced with government of, by, and for the government. Like a giant, ever-growing parasite, it is intent only on growing itself and reproducing itself, to hell with anything and anybody else. As the founders declared, when a government becomes abusive, “it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.” It is the duty of Californians to do so in this instance. Empty reservoirs, dry fire hydrants, dead brush allowed to stay where it has fallen, water diverted to the ocean, fire department budgets cut…all add up to what might rightly be termed ‘Intolerable Acts.’

For his part, Donald Trump, on more than one occasion, warned Californians and their government that the state was in grave danger of suffering catastrophic fires due to insane environmental policies. He made this clear again just three months ago on the Joe Rogan Podcast.

But California’s leaders didn’t fireproof the state. They appear more concerned with Trump-proofing it…which is essentially the opposite. This inexcusable negligence resulted in a staggering loss of life and property. Face it, Californians, your leaders disdain you. Will a majority of you now have the brains and ‘courage’ to start electing conservatives again? Doubtful. Ideological Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Trump Derangement Syndrome are powerful maladies.

Looking at the bigger picture, California is, in a sense, the proverbial canary in the coal mine in terms of what happens to a polity that becomes hyper-secular. Sadly, that could also be said about much of America—and The West in general. For, as William Penn noted, “Those who will not be governed by God will be governed by tyrants.”

And some of those tyrants will begin to think they’re God. Even as they usher in the fires of Hades.

Democrats For Destruction

 

Historian and author Victor Davis Hanson-- or, as Mark Levin properly calls him, ‘America’s Wise Man’-- recently noted that California’s progressives are actually taking the state backwards. This matches what I have often written, that today’s progressives are anything but, and in truth could be better classified as ‘regressives.’

Here’s Hanson, himself a resident of California, per a video posted by the Western Lensman on Twitter/X: “It was a total systems collapse from the idea of not spending money on irrigation, storage, water, fire prevention and forest management, a viable insurance industry, a DEI hierarchy, you put it all together and it’s something like a DEI Green New Deal hydrogen bomb.”

Hanson added, “And to finish, what we’re seeing in California is a state with 40 million people. And yet the people who run it feel that it should return to a 19^th-century pastoral condition. They are de-civilizing the state and de-industrializing the state and de-farming the state. But they’re not telling the 40 million people that their lifestyles will have to revert back to the 19th century, when you had no protection from fire.”

Everything The Left comes in contact with it destroys, nearly all of it on purpose.

If “Make America Great Again” is the slogan of Trumpian Republicans, it is only fair that Democrats have their own slogan. (Equity!)

Perhaps “Make America 1932 Again.” Or, “Make America Impoverished Again.” Or, “Make America Almost Uninhabited Again.” I’m sure readers can come up with many more candidates.

Democrats for Destruction. Sounds like the makings of a bumper sticker.

 

Two For You

Two For You

*According to the O’Keefe Media Group, the Bureau of Prisons has proposed new policies that would downgrade inmate security classifications for inmates convicted of child pornography offenses and terroristic acts. Yes, the proposed new policy would change the classification of a Child Pornography offense from a “High Severity Offense to a Low Severity Offense.” The definition of serious crimes has undergone profound change in recent years, due to Democrat policies, judges, and District Attorneys. Arson and theft are no longer big deals. Nor are, apparently, child pornography offenses and terroristic acts. However, Jan. 6ers, Christians, Trump supporters, and parents who attend their children’s school board meetings to voice displeasure have all been effectively upgraded to “High Severity” threats. Fact check that last statement, PolitiFact! You too, Snopes. USA Today?

*Soap opera ‘star’ Eric Braeden, of ‘The Young and the Restless’ infamy, recently criticized Donald Trump for comments the president-elect made on social media pertaining to the never-ending fires consuming Southern California. Braeden took issue with Trump’s criticism of Gov. Gavin ‘Slick’ Newsome’s handling of the catastrophe, as well as other local officials. Understandable, since a local reservoir had no water in it at the time of the fires and many fire hydrants ran dry. And the L.A.F.D.’s budget was slashed by more than $17 million prior to the fire’s inception. And the City of Angels is short competent firefighters due to DEI hiring practices and the fact that many firemen were let go for refusing COVID-19 jabs. And…well, enough for now. Yet the actor/faux person Breden stated that the claims the “orange idiot” made were “all nonsense.” Progressives deem the truth to be Fascism because it inconveniences them or casts shade on them. They brook no limits whatsoever on their behavior. Though they are not to be judged, they are only too happy and quick to judge others. Truth is their Kryptonite.
