The Trials Ahead

During last Friday night’s Twitter purge, if I read it once, I read it dozens of times: posters sense of shock that a mass expulsion was underway. Two of the more common exclamations were: “This is unreal!” and “Unbelievable!” These lamentations came from some notable names, too. I was astonished that people – particularly those who should know better – were astonished. Then in the wee hours of Saturday morning, having witnessed enough virtual carnage, I deactivated my Twitter account, never to resurrect it – short of the miraculous: Jack Dorsey selling his misbegotten enterprise to Donald J. Trump.

Georgia Patriots MUST Vote on Tuesday

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!

The New Phony War

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?

Do You Respect Sausage or the Law? Then We’ve Got Bad News for You

One of the oldest sayings regarding politics is this: If you have any respect for sausage, or the law, you should never watch either being made.

That comes to mind in the wake legislation providing Covid “relief” to the American people. If you can watch this fecal festival without screaming or throwing things against the wall, you’re bereft of standards or simply just don’t care.

To paraphrase William F. Buckley, I would rather be governed by the first 535 names in the Terre Haute, Indiana, phone book than by the U. S. Congress. It would be a step up.

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:

Bring on 2021… the Country is in for a Rough Ride

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.

Grifting Can Be A Good Way to Pay the Bills

No discussion of anti-Trumpers would be complete without a look at the Lincoln Project. They were promoted as Republicans who were so offended by President Trump’s character, rhetoric, actions, or morals they simply could not support him. They claim to be conservative constitutionalists who find Trump so reprehensible they would prefer to have a far left/nascent socialist in office.

That’s worthy of reflection. Assume for a moment you’re a hardcore Constitutional Conservative. Short of compelling proof of a crime, a candidate going on a killing spree, kidnapping elderly nuns, or assassinating puppies, what would they have to do to persuade you to support the most extreme leftist ticket in your lifetime? Right. Hard to think of anything. Especially once your candidate had established an actual governing track record that was indisputably conservative in most ways.

If the Elections are Stolen, the Biden Nightmare Begins

Immersed as we are in President Trump’s efforts to wrestle victory from a sinister collection of fraudsters, we’re understandably sparing little time to consider what happens if addled Joe Biden’s handlers get away with stealing the elections. These gleeful rogues – Democrat hacks, malignant leftists, BLM grifters, Antifa spoiled brats, DC lifers, traitorous RINOs, Big Tech plutocrats, MSM propagandists – all suffering a variety of conceits, are convinced they’re pulling off the biggest heist in their wretched existences. Maybe a new Leni Riefenstahl will be found in Biden’s press pool to immortalize the feat?

Who Needs the Anti-Trumpers?

Future footnotes to the 2020 election will include discussions of a small but vocal cohort of former Republicans who turned against the President. Known collectively as anti-Trumpers or never-Trumpers, it includes people who used to be rank and file Republicans, folks who used to be part of a Republican administration, and those who feel marginalized, left out, and uninvolved.

The latter group is essentially in a hissy fit because they are no longer relevant and mad that Trump managed to win the nomination and election without their help or support.
