So, earlier this week, U.S. Rep. Liz Chaney, daughter of Dick, decided it was time to exact a little revenge on President Donald J. Trump. She led nine other misfit Republicans in treachery. She and her RINOs joined Democrats in a vote to impeach Trump an historic second time.

You see, long ago, the president committed the unpardonable sin of criticizing the Bush-Chaney commitment to unending warfare and occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Then Trump, as president, compounded his sin by shrinking America’s presence in both nations (if you can call them nations; they’re more like strife-torn tribal lands). Had Trump not had a second term stolen from him, it’s a great bet that ongoing U.S. on-ground involvement in the aforementioned lands would have ceased.

If you’re a Georgia patriot, you must vote on Tuesday. If you’ve cast a ballot already, hat’s off. The Perdue and Loeffler contests have big consequences. They’re running against barely disguised socialist extremists. Maintaining a majority in the Senate gives Republicans at least a fighting chance to block the leftist and tyrannical measures that Democrats would push through if they control Congress and – heaven forbid – the White House.

While we fully expect Democrats to cheat in the heavily Democratic counties of Fulton, Clayton, and DeKalb, the hope is that strong turnouts elsewhere in the state can overcome the dishonesty. Also, the Georgia GOP and national conservative groups are deploying dozens of attorneys throughout the state to monitor elections and make aggressive challenges unlike anything attempted during the November General Elections.

My sense is that Democrats know well that they’ll face intense scrutiny in Tuesday’s Peach State contests. Not that they won’t try elections theft, but they can’t be as brazen as last time.

Nonetheless, defeatism, disenchantment, and cynicism are luxuries. There’s no room for luxuries in this fight to restore the rule of law and our liberties. Beat the Cheat! Patriots everywhere are counting on you! Vote!

As of the November elections, the nation is at war. It’s a 21st Century war, so it’s very different. Because it’s new, the scope and magnitude aren’t easily understood. It hasn’t been declared. It may never be. Hence, for many millions of Americans, perceptions are clouded or lagging. In human affairs, with change, this often occurs.

It’s the second American civil war, and its origins predate the November elections fraud, which seems on track to steal the presidency from the rightful winner, Donald J. Trump. The genesis of this civil war is the ideo-cultural war that has waxed and waned across the nation since the late 1960s. So, November’s elections thievery might better be regarded as an outgrowth and escalation – a potentially nation-shattering escalation – of that decades-old cultural conflict.

President Trump faces perhaps the most momentous decision a president has had to make. Will he invoke the 2018 executive order pertaining to elections fraud and foreign interference therein? The truth is, the president may have no other choice. The federal courts – the U.S. Supreme Court, to date, in particular – have turned their backs on redressing November’s historic elections fraud. GOP controlled legislatures in contested battleground states aren’t likely to decertify Biden electors (fraud slates) and install electors who reflect the will of a majority of voters. And, really, what do we expect from Congress on January 6?

I’m not pretending to be an Old Testament prophet, no Jerimiah. I don’t have to be. Anyone willing to look reality hard in the eye can see: The nation is moving inexorably toward crises. Dark days are just over the horizon. The American people will be tested in ways at no time since the Civil War. Our liberties, the rule of law, our nation under God, hangs in the balance. Will we be free or will tyranny prevail?

Speaking the truth doesn’t make us drama queens (or kings) or Chicken Littles. Let’s remind ourselves of key facts that compel this gloomy assessment:

It was in the musical Camelot (the movie) when King Pellinore (Lionel Jefferies) advices Arthur (Richard Harris) that the “uglier the truth, the truer the friend who tells you.”

Now, with mere weeks to go before the year changes, we have to confront an ugly truth. 2020 is just prelude to crises and conflicts to come. When they end, we cannot say. The 2020s may prove a troubled decade. I don’t pretend to have a crystal ball. But there are matters we can be sure of. One need only survey the scene – the wreckage, really – of 2020 to understand that America faces the gravest risks to its existence as a free and united country in 160 years.
