Climate Protesters Throw Soup On Van Gogh Painting

 

A couple of young climate protesters from the group “Just Stop Oil” recently threw soup over Vincent van Gogh’s famous painting, “Sunflowers.” The vandals dumped two cans of Heinz tomato soup on the oil painting, on display in London’s National Gallery, to protest fossil fuel extraction. After ridiculously assaulting one of Van Gogh’s most iconic works, the two activists proceeded to glue themselves to the gallery wall.

Fortunately, the attack caused no real damage to the glass-covered painting, nor did the assailant’s attempt to epoxy themselves to the gallery, but Britain did immediately agree to ban the use of all fossil fuels. Just kidding.

(It is fitting that the activists selected Heinz soup with which to carry out their protest, as the heiress to the H.J. Heinz company fortune is Teresa Heinz-Kerry, who is married to John (“Effing”) Kerry, the world-renowned Climate Czar. The couple profess to be deeply concerned about global warming and greenhouse gas emissions, though their favorite activity is flying around the world in their private jet.)

The most striking thing about this action by “Just Stop Oil” is that the painting, Van Gogh, and the gallery have absolutely no connection whatsoever to fossil fuel extraction. I mean, I’m almost certain that Van Gogh didn’t invent fracking in his spare time, especially since he passed away in 1890. Nor did he work on an oil rig. (On second thought, he did, however, traffic in oil paint-- so maybe there is a connection after all!)

This would be like protesting abortion restrictions by tossing red paint on the Mona Lisa or pissing on the Liberty Bell.

But then, logic and reason aren’t hallmarks of “progressivism.”

 

National Debt Tops $31 Trillion As Tax Collections Set Record

 

The headline read, “National debt tops $31 trillion as tax collections set record.”

Ponder that.

Might that fact possibly be indicative of a mind-blowingly humongous serious spending problem?

It seems no one in Washington, Democrat or Republican, truly cares about—or understands—the danger debt, at this staggering level, poses. All but a handful of those in Congress spend (other people’s) money with a giddy ferocity that would make a drunken sailor on shore leave blush.

Former Rep. Dick Armey (R-TX) once noted, “Three groups spend other people’s money: children, thieves, and politicians. All three need supervision.” Truer words were never spoken.

Economist Milton Friedman famously explained that there are four ways to spend money. 1) You can spend your own money on yourself. 2) You can spend your own money on someone else. 3) You can spend someone else’s money on yourself. 4) You can spend someone else’s money on someone else. That is precisely what our politicians do. And that is also obviously the way for which people will be the least concerned and careful.

Which is why there are so many stupefyingly ridiculous examples of egregious federal spending.

Like the study that aimed to untangle the psychology of gambling addiction – by building a casino for pigeons. Yes, the National Institute of Health sent nearly half a million dollars to Reed College in Portland, Oregon, where researchers planned to create a “self-contained miniature economy” for the school’s flock of pigeons. Dr. Timothy Hackenberg explained, via the project’s abstract, that the birds receive currency-like tokens that they can “earn, accumulate, spend, or gamble” on slot machines. Yet even Dr. Hackenberg admits there are few “practical applications” for this work.

Then there is the National Science Foundation, which, purportedly concerned about worsening climate-change-induced hurricanes, paid researchers to capture dozens of anole lizards in the Turks and Caicos Islands, and subsequently blast the critters with leaf blowers to see how they’d fare.

Then, of course, Dr, Fauci’s NIAID funded an experiment to feminize monkeys, the U.S. National Institutes of Health paid a Russian lab to sever the brain stems of 18 healthy cats, and the National Science Foundation funded a study which examined, weighed and measured the results of the bowel movements of pandas, elephants and warthogs, etc.

Democrats separate themselves from free-spending Republicans by ceaselessly attempting to bribe voters by offering them money or free stuff—either overtly or covertly. When they get virtually half the population on the government dole/gravy train, it’s essentially game over. This is a nearly intractable problem for Republicans and Libertarians that may want to tamp down the orgiastic spending, as all they can offer is the promise of effective policies, personal freedom-- and to let those that actually pay most of the taxes keep more of their own money. Unfortunately, too many in the electorate do not understand economics or history, dual ignorance which virtually guarantees societal disaster in the long run. And, tragically, many now seem to value (a chimerical) safety over personal freedom. Moreover, since those who make more shoulder most of the tax burden, Democrats immediately and incessantly accuse Republicans of favoring the rich when they propose tax cuts, a charge that is preposterous in 2022.

By some accounts, up to 80% of current federal spending is unconstitutional. But, is it even possible to reign in federal spending? In 1995, Senate Republicans fell one vote short of passing a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution.

Incredibly, today that task seems harder than ever.

If pigeons have casinos, maybe one day pigs will be able to fly.

Say, I wonder if we could fund a study to determine the feasibility of swine flight…

 

 

 

Planned Parenthood To Launch Mobile Abortion Clinic

 

Planned Parenthood officials recently announced plans for a mobile abortion clinic—a 37-foot-long RV—that will stay in Illinois, where infanticide abortion is legal, but travel close to the borders of adjoining states that have put strict limits on the “procedure” since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade earlier this year. The clinic on wheels will serve prospective abortion patients in the neighboring states of Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee.

Dr. Colleen McNicholas, chief medical officer for Planned Parenthood’s St. Louis office, stated: “The mobile abortion clinic is a way to reduce travel times and distances in order to meet patients at the Illinois border. This will make a dramatic impact on their access.”

That Planned Parenthood would invest in “one particularly lethal recreational vehicle,” to paraphrase a line from the movie Stripes, illustrates its unquenchable lust for killing kids…and making money. The organization will do almost anything to increase abortion access…and pad its bottom line.

Yamelsie Rodriguez, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region and Southwest Missouri, said that the RV clinic would begin traveling by the end of the year and include two exam rooms, a lab, and a waiting room. Initially, it will provide medication abortions up to 11 weeks of gestation, but Planned Parenthood aims to provide surgical abortions after the first few months of operations.

According to a report in the Associated Press, both McNicholas and Rodriguez declined to comment on the safety and security of the mobile clinic. I can report that it is extremely unsafe for the unborn.

What says “recreation” more than abortion? This macabre RV is bizarrely mindful of an ice cream truck. Will it, too, play a jolly little tune as it drives around neighborhoods and haunts state borders looking for its next victim client?

What’s next (a question I ask myself often of late)? I’m guessing mobile transgender assistance clinics that will have the ability to chemically castrate or surgically alter kids who are confused or who have succumbed to peer pressure.

I can almost picture the mobile unit slowly winding around a suburban cul-de-sac, playful kids’ music emanating from its speakers. Inside a home on the cul-de-sac, a young boy hears the approaching vehicle and excitedly runs to his mother.

“Mom, the transgender truck is here, the transgender truck is here! Hear it? Can I please change genders now? Huh? Can I, please? There is a whole list to choose from right on the side of the truck! And Uncle Joe gave me a hundred bucks last week for my birthday, so I can even help pay for my transition!”    

 

 

 

 

BLM, LGBTQ Remake Of "The Wizard Of Oz" Coming Soon

 

Kenya Barris is going to remake ”The Wizard of Oz.” The writer and director is determined to give us a Black nationalist version of the iconic movie, combined with a strong LGBTQ theme in his adaptation of the classic film.

He told Variety, “Now we’re going to turn a mirror on where we’re at right now and take disparate characters from the LGBTQ community, from different cultural communities and socioeconomic communities, and tell a story that reflects the world. I think this is the best time to do that.”

No doubt. Think of the possibilities!

What self-respecting woke person wouldn’t want to see, say, Dorothy Gale get it on with the Wicked Witch of the West or Scarecrow sticking it to the Tin Man? Will we see Uncle Henry, Auntie Em, and Zeke perform in a three-way “Eiffel Tower” position? Perhaps Glinda the Good is even better when she’s taking on the Munchkins en masse? Possible spoiler alert: Rumor has it The Guard, The Hunk, and Nikko might all identify as women and engage in an epic (non-cis) lesbian scene. Here’s hoping, right? And what of Toto and the Cowardly Lion? Maybe the latter could get his courage back…as he cries out in ecstasy: “Toto! Toto!” Know what I’m sayin’? Hell, yeah!

The Left destroys everything it touches. Deliberately. Sometimes slowly over time and sometimes with breathtaking speed. It must destroy families, culture, tradition, and religion to create the chaos that will cause people to tolerate—even welcome—authoritarian response and control. It will tolerate no competition and accept no deviation from its mandates. Recently, big, multinational corporations have started falling in line and espousing wokeness as if they were all owned by Michael Moore and Ibrahim Kendi.

For example, Disney has recently tried its hand at social engineering, championing everything LGBTQ at every opportunity. It recently introduced Disney+, a network geared towards adults. Perhaps it should debut a truly adult network. Disney After Dark, anyone? It could fund, produce, and release movies like Barris’s remake of “The Wizard of Oz.”

 

 

 

 

World Economic Forum Says We Must Change How We Fulfill Our Desires

 

Had enough of “fundamental transformations” in recent years? I hope not, because World Economic Forum (WEF) adviser Yuval Noah Harari recently stated that attempting to halt (what the WEF believes to be) man-caused climate change will require a fundamental shift in how humans fulfill their desires. Sounds kinky, but what does he actually mean?

At a recent summit, Harari said: “People desire, I don’t know, peace of mind. To be peaceful inside yourself. This is something almost everybody wants. So, you know, you listen to commercials on television, and you get this idea that if you want peace of mind, you need to fly to the other side of the world to this idyllic island and spend lots of money and create enormous amounts of pollution in the process in order to get peace of mind. I mean, you don’t need to change your desire, but you can achieve it right here.” At the World Economic Forum? I think not.

He also opined that people need to realize that they can find love without changing themselves through environmentally unfriendly methods such as applying makeup. Harari suggested, without elaborating, that folks should find other ways to make themselves feel good-looking. Maybe by trimming one’s nasal hair and drinking a couple glasses of wine?

The adviser did generously admit that “[Our desires] would be hard to change” and suggested instead that “we need to change the roundabout and sometimes ridiculous way that we often go about achieving these desires.” Like shamelessly virtue signaling on the world stage whilst attempting to coerce everyone else into making their lives harder and poorer by doing the things you ask them to do—all the while knowing you have no intention of doing them yourself? To sate your own desire for control? Like that, maybe?

Harari’s recommendations are consistent with various other suggestions the WEF has kindly provided on how to reduce climate change. All of which are rife with globalist authoritarian overtones. In fact, WEF chairman Klaus Schwab has praised Xi Jinping, China’s communist leader, claiming that he has “made significant social and economic achievements.” Well, he has embarked on a genocide against the Uighurs and mandated the forced sterilization of same. Moreover, he has instituted a one-child policy for Chinese families. All of these help to reduce the human population, a goal of the WEF, so naturally earn its praise. For good measure, Jinping also instituted a social credit score system for all Chinese citizens, closely tracking everything they do and every move they make…just because he can. Since then, many other nations have laid the groundwork for such surveillance and control of their populace. After all, the pandemic showed them how easy this can be.

One WEF recommendation that has gained some traction of late is that people should incorporate bugs and insects into their diets in order to reduce the “harmful” effects of meat consumption on the environment. CNN went so far as to say that “bugs  are really good for you” and could even help “save the planet.”

So, dear readers, to sum up: don’t engage in the roundabout and ridiculous ways in which you used to pursue your desires. Don’t travel, eat meat, or use makeup. Do eat bugs. And listen to Yuval Noah Harari and his friends at the World Economic Forum when they tell you what to do.

Trust them. It’s for the common good. Right, comrades?

 

Fewer Than Half Of Americans Can Name The Three Branches Of Their Government

 

The most recent Annenberg Public Policy Center annual Constitution Day Civics Survey found that fewer than half of Americans can name all three branches of government — executive, legislative, and judicial — a drop off of 9 percentage points from just one year ago. (This is likely because a larger percentage of Americans attend “institutions of higher learning” than ever before. I’m not joking.) At this rate, no one will be able to achieve this remarkable feat by 2028. This is doubly sad when one realizes that nearly every single child in the country possessed this fundamental knowledge by the age 12 or 14 50 years ago. And 100 years ago. And 150 years ago. Whether they went to school in a large city or in a one-room schoolhouse on a midwestern prairie.  

Perhaps even more mind boggling, roughly a quarter of Americans surveyed could not name a single branch of the federal government.

Perhaps even more disturbing, the survey showed an increase in the number of respondents who were unable to name any of the five freedoms guaranteed under the First Amendment to the Constitution. (Freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and to petition the government.) Just over one quarter of respondents were at a loss to name even one First Amendment freedom. In the previous survey, conducted in 2021, 56 percent of respondents identified freedom of religion, compared to only 24 percent in 2022. In 2021, half of the respondents noted freedom of the press, as opposed to only 20 percent in 2022.

Is it any wonder, then, that government is denying those freedoms and treating citizens with the wrong political opinions like “terrorists” or “enemies of the state,” openly labeling them as such? 

Governments around the world used the plandemic pandemic as a trial run to see how far they could push their citizens…and were nearly universally pleased at the result. That Americans allowed themselves to be so brutalized is as shocking as it is depressing.

Thomas Jefferson famously said that he would prefer a country that is full of newspapers but lacks a government. In doing so, he was proclaiming that Americans’ rights override the needs of the government. He, however, would be devastated to know that today the mainstream media-- newspapers included-- is today nothing more than the propaganda purveyor of the Democratic Party, the party he supposedly founded.

 

Nearly all Americans can name three or more genders, one or more of which don’t even exist. I am nearly certain that the vast majority of Americans can name three HBO shows, three characters from Game of Thrones, three adult movie stars, three rap musicians, and three brands of candy bars. But can even half of us name all 50 states? 40? 30…?

Rising ignorance goes hand-in-hand with a lack of wisdom, declining religious belief and moral virtue, approval of socialism, hatred of America, and increasing anger, entitlement, and despair.

And, oddly enough, attendance at a college or university.

The elites aggressively promulgating leftist policies believe they are more sophisticated than the rest of us, while in reality they are simply more delusional. When a person or group believe they have the exclusive “right” to direct the lives of others, you know that person or group has no business directing the life of anyone else. The self-same people who say that merit shouldn’t determine one’s lot in life, should have nothing to do with outcomes, believe their inflexible intolerance of those they deem intolerant merit their permanent rule over everyone else. They alone are permitted to determine whose jobs are “essential” and whose are not, what things should be “worth,” and what others can and cannot do.

All of which is anathema to freedom and the founders’ vision for the United States.

If most Americans can no longer name the three branches of their country’s government, or the freedoms guaranteed to them by the Constitution and enumerated by the Bill of Rights, they don’t deserve to be free—and those in power will act with utter impunity.

When most of us can’t even name the three branches of our government, there will be zero ways left for us to Make America Great Again.

New York To Send Migrants To Tent City On Island

 

New York’s Democratic Mayor, Eric Adams, recently revealed that he is directing that tent towns to house migrants be built on Randall’s Island, a relatively secluded island off the Bronx.  The tents would provide shelter for roughly 500 border crossers and illegal aliens.

As it stands now, the vast majority of the approximately 16,000 border crossers and illegal aliens that have been bused to New York, a sanctuary city, remain in the city’s overcrowded homeless shelter system. As a result, Adams originally stated that he would begin housing migrants in tent towns in a parking lot in the Bronx. Since then, he has changed his mind and will ship them to the island. (Randall’s Island isn’t exactly Martha’s Vineyard, but then Adams is no DeSantis.)

Not to be outdone, New York’s Democratic Governor, Kathy Hochul, is calling on roughly 100 National Guard reservists to help build the new tent cities where arrivals and excess migrants will be housed.

 It’s hard to fathom why New York has so much difficulty dealing with just 16,000 migrants-- approximately 0.3% of those who have crossed our southern border since Biden took office-- when its politicians have previously made it clear that the open border is no big deal, and is, in fact, a good thing.

“Progressive” politicians are claiming migrants should stay in Florida so they can help “pick the crops,” bussing them to military installations, and confining them to an island and hoping they can’t swim.

Democrats who run self-proclaimed “Sanctuaries” for illegal aliens consistently show themselves to be the worst kind of frauds.

Instead of being allowed to live in mansions and gated communities, they should have to join the “migrants” in tent cities on parking lots in the Bronx and on Randall’s Island.

 

 

MARS Introduces New "Spokescandy" M&M Representing Acceptance And Inclusivity

 

MARS has added a new “spokescandy” to its lineup of cartoon characters.

The company released a statement saying: “Designed to represent acceptance and inclusivity, our newest member is known for her earnest self-expression. Keen self-awareness, authenticity and confidence are the driving forces behind Purple’s charm and quirky nature. She joins the legendary cast of M&M’S characters, who recently were given a refresh with updated looks and more nuanced personalities.” (The brand gave the Green candy a makeover this past January to make her appearance less “sexy.”)

As if that weren’t enough balderdash, Jane Hwang, Global Vice President at Mars Wrigley, stated: “Mars is thrilled to debut the newest member of the M&M’S cast of characters to the world. There is so much about our new spokescandy that people can relate to and appreciate, including her willingness to embrace her true self – our new character reminds us to celebrate what makes us unique. Our purpose story is just getting started and the introduction of our newest M&M’S spokescandy is the next chapter, as the brand continues to delight fans with fun in a way only M&M’S can.”

I, for one, am thrilled that Purple is willing to embrace her true self and can’t wait to hear what the spokescandy has to say. I think I know what her true “purpose story” will be: embracing wokeness in a shameless display of virtue-signaling to deflect from the fact that the company contributes to the obesity epidemic by peddling a vast array of candy and chocolates to kids and adults alike.

MARS is introducing Purple via a song and music video titled “I’m Just Gonna Be Me,” in which the character is repeatedly referred to as a “she.” This has led many folks to speculate that the company might opt to out her as a lesbian in a later ad, though her sexuality is not addressed in the video. Because, apparently, small, candy-coated chocolates just taste better to us when we know they are homosexual.

Seeking to up its street cred, MARS also recently partnered with Lil Nas X, a rapper who once paused a show and told his audience from backstage he needed a minute or two because he was taking a “mean shit.” (Perhaps he had eaten too many M&M’S.) Lil Nas X has also written children’s books-- and sold “Satan Shoes” sporting a bronze pentagram, an inverted cross, and a drop of actual human blood. A veritable Renaissance man! (Tragically, the shoes sold out almost immediately after they were introduced.)

Less sexy and more tolerant, accepting and inclusive? That is just what we need from our candies! But, how does Purple’s “earnest self-expression” and “keen self-awareness” manifest itself? Oh, I bet I know…wink, wink, nudge, nudge! (She might melt in her hand, not in her mouth!) I’m sure she’s self-accepting and self-inclusive, if you know what I mean. And, really, isn’t that the most important attribute in a candy? I know if my small, chocolatey confection isn’t self-aware I’m not going to ingest it!

Let’s hope Purple does turn out to be a lesbian. I’m sure many fans will petition MARS to make it so. But, if the company truly wants to be inclusive, there are many other colors that have been sadly—and systemically-- left out of its stable of characters…colors that could represent many progressive ideas and ideals. Granted, there are not as many colors, hues, and tints as there are genders, yet MARS could do so much more to battle the white, male, heteronormative, Christian nationalist patriarchy that is currently threatening to destroy our democracy and overwhelm the global confectionery industry. To wit: Fuchsia- could represent those in the atheist anogendered community (AAC). Ecru could proudly represent Minor Attracted Persons (MAPs). Mauve could represent those courageously fighting the stigma baselessly attached to polyamorous interspecies relationships. The possibilities are endless—and sweet!

Do sugar coat it, but don’t give it to us straight.

That’s just what MARS has done.

 

 

 

Marijuana Now More Popular Than Cigarettes

 

According to a recent Gallup poll, more Americans are now smoking marijuana than cigarettes. That’s progress, right? In a poll conducted July 5th to 26th, only 11% of Americans surveyed said they smoked cigarettes. That’s as compared to 45% in the mid-1950s. Yet 16% of Americans admitted to smoking pot, 48% saying they have tried it at some point in their lives. Contrast that to 1969, when only 4% of Americans said they smoked “weed.”

 

The tobacco/cigarette industry has been constantly harassed, taxed, fined, and demonized by government entities and liberals everywhere…whereas the production and sale of marijuana has effectively been subsidized—and almost glorified. Which may be an indication that they, too, are stoned.

 

A marijuana cigarette, or “joint,” contains more carcinogens than does a tobacco cigarette. Moreover, the amount of the intoxicating substance in a joint, THC, has been steadily rising over the years. (Unlike virtually all other consumables, apparently there is no market for “light marijuana.” Quite the opposite, apparently.) The long-term effects of this aren’t yet fully known, but include damage to a person’s lungs, heart and brain…three fairly important organs.

 

This tracks with numerous other trends-- most reversals of conventional wisdom, some flying in the face traditional morality.

 

To wit: saying “all lives matter” is now considered not only somehow controversial, but racist and offensive. Proclaiming that one wishes to “Make America Great Again” is not only frowned upon but might trigger an FBI raid on one’s abode. All sentient and sane people wonder how this can possibly be.  

 

“Thought leaders” and influencers flat out aver that all whites are racist, because of their skin color, utterly ignoring the stupendously racist nature of their own remarks and beliefs, not to mention the mind-boggling hypocrisy.

 

Nearly all erstwhile taboos and modes of depravity are being legitimized-- and indeed lionized-- even as Christianity is being mocked, altered, and demonized.

 

Violent criminals are being repeatedly set free without bail, yet Trump supporters deemed guilty of “trespassing” are being held in prisons-- if not solitary confinement-- for lengthy and often indefinite periods of time.

 

The Biden administration considers other nations’ borders inviolate, while effectively refusing to even acknowledge our own. Our elites disparage a wall on our southern border, but almost without exception make certain their own properties are protected by fences and/or walls. And often armed security, though most purport to be for gun control. Our current leaders neglect our own aging nuclear deterrent while doing everything they can to make certain Iran has “the bomb” ASAP.

 

Perhaps most detrimental of all, the divine complementarity of the two sexes, male and female, is being summarily dismissed as arbitrary, unreal, a mere figment of the imaginations of white male scientists from yesteryear. Something simply “assigned” to one at birth (signifying nothing of note) by an overworked—and probably toxically masculine-- medical professional.

 

We have traded independence for groupthink, education for indoctrination, pants hitched up firmly around our waists for masks hitched firmly over our faces, reason for unmoored emotion, cognitive intelligence for artificial intelligence, Main Street for Wall Street, limited government and small business for unlimited government and Big Tech, Bible study for drag queen story hour, the Founders vision for a false socialist utopia, gratitude for an entitlement mentality…and reality for “virtual reality.”

 

In doing so, we have traded traditional American optimism for ennui and despair.

 

One might well think it’s time to make America great again (if it’s not already too late to do so).

 

Just don’t say so publicly, or Biden’s FBI might raid your home. And your spouse’s clothes closet.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Red Wave Or...Tyranny?

 

The midterm elections of 2022 are just around the proverbial corner. Will the long-predicted “red wave” come to fruition? Based on every piece of evidence, it should. Based on what has transpired over the past two years, it should. If everyone asks themselves, “Am I better off now than I was two years ago,” it damn well should. Logically, it is virtually certain to be the case. However, unfortunately, a significant percentage of the electorate aren’t logical or rational. Ergo, even though many Democrats have revealed themselves to be clinically insane, that has not proven to be a deal breaker to the low information, highly entitled voter. And never underestimate Republicans’ ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of almost certain victory. Or Democrats’ ability to manipulate, project, and gaslight.

These facts led me to ruminate a bit, and here is some of what I noted: every election that Democrats lose is an obvious, a priori instance of fraud, malfeasance, and Russian collusion. (So they claim.) These blatantly stolen elections have tragically and adversely affected the fortunes of Al Gore (think Florida), Hillary Clinton and Stacey Abrams, to name only a few. Oddly enough, conversely, every election they win immediately becomes the new “most secure election in American history,” surpassing the last one in which Democrats prevailed. This duality becomes even more remarkable when one considers that, typically, when Democrats win, it’s in elections that feature the expanded employment of drop-off boxes and vastly more mail-in ballots cast-- and widespread changes to election laws in battleground states. And numerous creditable accounts of chicanery and outright cheating. And expanded hours (or days) for vote counting. Odd how that works. Actually, it’s truly amazing. That they get away with it.

This is in keeping with other remarkable facts and occurrences vis-à-vis their affirmations and accusations. To wit: in order to convince us that Donald Trump colluded with Russians to get elected, they (read Hillary) colluded with Russians. In accusing Trump of being guilty of the “Big Lie” in “baselessly” claiming that there was rampant election fraud in 2020, they themselves are guilty of the “Big Lie.” Moreover, they claim MAGA Republicans are an existential “threat to our democracy,” even as they refuse to protect our southern border, and talk of packing the court, ending the filibuster, and dispensing with the Electoral College. What’s more, they have enacted laws and policies that have caused inflation, homelessness and crime to spike, turned our schools into indoctrination centers, and resulted in an explosion in “excess deaths.” And they are currently pushing for additional laws and policies, which, if not checked and reversed, would soon result in the total destruction of the American economy—and the American family-- leading to destitution and despair. The U.S. would effectively become the world’s largest banana republic. Might that be a “threat to our democracy?”

We are not a pure democracy, thank God. The founders saw to that. Nor were we meant to be a banana republic. We were set up as a representative republic, the better to give the people the most control of-- and power over-- their government. Their limited government. Does it seem to you that we, the people, have control of—and power over— “our” government today? Or does it appear obvious that the “Democrats,” RINOs, Deep State apparatchiks, swamp dwellers, and the elites in the mainstream media, academia, Big Tech, and corporate boardrooms have joined with the U.N. and World Economic Forum (WEF) to silence, cancel or crush anyone who might dare to stand in their way or question their goals?

Thomas Jefferson purportedly once said: “When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.” In Jefferson’s day, that was considered by most Americans to be conventional wisdom.

If people dare to utter that phrase now, or fly a Gadsden flag, it may well cause the Biden administration to sic the FBI or DOJ on them. Which, inarguably, illustrates the fact that our government, currently led by “Democrats,” is trending towards tyranny.

Red wave? Pray that there is one.
