Theatrics and America's Ruling Class

The peers of the realm, the glitterati, America’s ruling class...tries to keep racial and other forms of division stirred up in political and partisan opinions according to their way of thinking so that we do not notice the class protection racket they are running. Let us look no further than Twitter’s Jack Dorsey, who wears a beard like he is playing the hobo in a Charlie Chaplin silent film. Then there’s New York’s Governor Andrew Cuomo, who’s scowl is reminiscent to that of Anthony Hopkin’s portrayal of Hannible Lector in Silence of the Lambs. Then there is the ultimate political Teflon power couple, Bill and Hillary Clinton, nothing ever sticks to them... The Clinton body count gets bigger... they get friends to go to jail for them... people drop dead, and Mr. and Mrs. Clinton just stand there smiling through it all, reminding everyone that neither of them has ever been convicted of anything. Then there are the non-elites’ minions, doing their part in the production of divide and conquer. Let us look at but two of these “B” actors. The first being Portland’s Mayor, Edward Wheeler who we can liken to Nero, who nightly plays the fiddle while his once prosperous city burns... Lest we forget NY’s Congressional representative, foot in her mouth stand-up comedian, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who proclaimed: “it’s more important to be morally right than factually correct.” Admittedly AOC’s comments, more times than not, result in double amounts of confusion and astonishment. Listening to AOC reminds me of the futility of trying to talk facts and analysis with people who are enjoying a sense of moral superiority in their ignorance. Fact: our elites have become incredibly good at theatrics. What say you?

Biden's Presidency Tells the Tale of Failed Leadership

What do the recent events of the Biden Presidency tell us about him, today's Democrat leadership and his party’s political ideology? Their leadership, their agenda or lack thereof tells me much. We must choose our leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a recreant is to be controlled by all that the weakling fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up our most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by an equivocator is to ask to be told lies. To be led by an autocrat is to sell ourselves and those we love into bondage. If in doubt look to the cross for strength, security, wisdom, and a coherent plan of action to MAGA and in essence becoming, once again, "One Nation Under God..." As Christians, God sends His own to fight ignoble, corrupt, iniquitous, execrable, degenerate evils for His people. Jesus was a righteous revolutionist; so, should we endeavor to do so. “God never said that the journey would be easy, but He did say that the arrival would be worthwhile.” What say you?

Time for Christians to Don Armor

Did not God design marriage to be a sacred covenant between one man and one woman? While society has perverted His truth, it does not change the purpose of marriage. Secular activists, to include many leftist politicos, corporate CEO’s, entertainment celebrities... some select Church Denominational ecclesiastic councils’ and members therein, gather all around the world pushing pro-LGBT, government sanctioned abortion and socialist agenda… and too few Christian pastors, church staff and laypeople counter the apostasy... and nobody shuts them down. Only a few denounce this moral heresy. Dare I say apostacy? 

Although it is difficult to believe, we should not be surprised these heretical acts are being accepted rather than being widely denounced as unholy, blasphemous, sacrilegious, profane, immoral, corrupt, depraved... Has not God told His flock, that we will be persecuted for following Him and remaining steadfast to His truth as written in the inerrant Word of God? It is inevitable that the faithful will clash with a decaying culture who rejects God and His authority. It is happening in America and across the world. It is time for Christians everywhere to don the Armor of God. 

Why the Amror of God? “So that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.  Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” What say you?

Wuhan and The Adminisration's Lack of Transparency

Among the most controversial aspects of the Wuhan Institute of Virology's coronavirus research has been its funding from the U.S. government. Those funds originally came from the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases. That agency, part of the National Institutes of Health, has for many years been headed up by Dr. Anthony Fauci. Something about Fauci, Washington’s lack of transparency, Biden turning a blind eye to China’s quest for world domination via brute force or bioweaponry, big pharma involvement, and funding that carries with it a foul stench. And we know that some odors have a power of persuasion stronger than that of idiomatic expressions, appearances, sentiments, reactions, or lack thereof and will. The persuasive power of an odor cannot be fended off, it enters us like breath into our lungs, it fills us up, permeates us totally. There is no remedy for it. Hence, half-million Americans dead, millions more across the earth have breathed their last. The epilogue: We are fast approaching a crisis that unnerves me and causes me to shudder for the safety of our Republic... corporations and individuals of enormous wealth and a heretofore not seen era of corruption in high places have been enthroned. It is these select few people of means, power and influence that endeavors to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth and power is aggregated in a few hands and America is dismantled from within. 

Biden and Post-Modern Tokenism

Are you aware that President Biden has gone where no other POTUS before him has gone? In his first six months in office Biden has taken the awe-inspiring leap into post-modern tokenism with his Cabinet and key advisor selections, ensuring that this many are African American and that many are persons of Latin American origin or descent and used as a gender-neutral or nonbinary alternative to Latino or Latina. These are female and those are gay, and this is this and that is that. It is not that Biden is making choices to represent America or his coalition. Every president does that, to include President Trump. Though more traditionally, they have done it in terms of the geography or physical features of an area. What is new about Biden’s methodology is that rather than contest the perception that he has used factors other than finding the absolute best person for every job, he has veered into the belief that it is laudable to choose citizens in large measure based on skin color or ethnic origin or sexual orientation. This is America as today’s Democratic party understands it… The kind of line often promulgated by those who believe in counting by race, gender and sexual orientation is that the world that results “looks like America.” That is an awfully bad link, considering that America is actually “76.5%” white. If Biden’s cabinet and key advisors were to look like America, it would have to be a lot more Caucazoid than it is. Come what may, we are so far beyond Martin Luther King Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech... “that we will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." Under our current leadership, we should almost certainly start back peddling and phrasing things in the reverse. Which is simply great… By which I mean, it is just awful. Six months in office and what have we learned about Biden, his administration, his key advisors, and appointees and today’s Democrat party? Their actions, rhetoric, and job assignments within the government is little more than mere lip-service to the idea of equality, not to mention sheer tokenism. What say you?

Memorial Message 2021

Most of my Facebook, Group friends and Blog readers probably no little about me. Albeit my posts give you a glimpse into my theological and geopolitical predilections. I served in the U.S. Army.  In fact, military service runs in my family. My father served during WWII – he fought campaigns in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, France Omaha Beach landing in Normandy, siege of Bastogne in Belgium. As my father would tell those who cared to listen, “the only contest I ever won was my draft number being the third one drawn for World War II.” He was one of the fortunate ones, who returned commemorating victory, but many of his brothers in arms did not make it home.   

Because of my father’s sacrifices and the values, he instilled in me, I joined the Army out of high school in 1965 and served as an Airborne Infantryman. In 1974 I was Commissioned a Second Lieutenant following graduation from University of Florida’s Army ROTC program. I eventually retired in 1995 following five years as a Division Chief at Army Special Operations Command, Fort Bragg, NC.   

I learned so many lessons in the military which became the foundation of everything I did while on active duty and post active-duty life (retiremenmt). But I would not have had the opportunity to do what I loved most – serving our nation as a soldier for 30 years and later teaching high school Army JROTC – if it were not for the selfless men and women in our military who fought and died for our freedom to do what we love. Sadly, some who gave all, I served with.

The commitment, courage, and sacrifice of those who gave their lives to secure freedom for their fellow citizens should never be taken for granted. For too many, the Memorial Day weekend will signify little more than the beginning of summer, a long weekend, BBQs, and beers. Regretfully, honoring fallen heroes is not commonplace any longer, and unless future generations are taught that their freedom was purchased at a great price, the true meaning of Memorial Day itself may become nothing more than a memory. Lest we forget, we owe this freedom of choice and action to those brave men and women, in uniform who have served this nation and its interests in time of need. We are forever indebted to those who gave their lives that we might be free. As articulated in the immortal words Patrick Henry: “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”  As a nation, let it be our pledge that we as a people never forget those who gave their last full measure while answering the call of “duty, honor, country” are never forgotten.

 

 

 

  

The Horse is Out of The Barn

The horse has left the barn. This recent cyberattack proves key parts of our infrastructure are exposed and vulnerable. We must put in place measures to protect our sophisticated, technology-dependent infrastructure against threats from cyber-criminals, domestic and international terrorists’ organizations, rouge nation states and geo-political enemies, namely, China, Russia, N. Korea, Iran... Failure to do so, will result in catastrophic consequences throughout the United States. Failure to protect ourselves, our nation, and our infrastructure directly, is not an option. A government commissioned EMP Task Force has on three occasions reported to Congress that in the event of an Electro Magnetic Pulse attack, 90% of the American population would be dead within a year. Another study and subsequent report conducted by the U.S. Air and Space Force's center for professional military education and the Curtis E. LeMay Center for Doctrine Development and Education warns that an electromagnetic pulse weapon attack could wipe out America, ‘democracy, and world order.’ The report, titled, “Electromagnetic Defense Task Force,” and the product of a summit of officials from 40 agencies, should serve as a forceful call for a new focus on preparing for either an enemy EMP attack or a natural hit such as a solar storm. While the EMP Defense Task Force is focused on the devastating impact an EMP strike would have on the military, it appears to support the congressional EMP warning that dark days for America are only a matter of when, not if. And we are not talking about long lines at the gas pumps. The Biden-Harris Administration’s current infrastructure proposal allocates $100 billion to upgrading the grid, with another $35 billion to develop climate solutions, $46 billion in federal buying power to accelerate clean energy efforts, R&D to eliminate racial and gender gaps in science, technology, engineering and math fields through investments in historically Black colleges and universities and minority-serving institutions. Lest I forget to mention, another $600 billion and counting for social style infrastructure programs, like upgrades to affordable housing, Green Housing, $400 billion for home-based care for elderly and disabled, $35 billion for climate change-related R&D, $50 billion for "research infrastructure" at the National Science Foundation, $50 billion for new Commerce Department office "dedicated to monitoring domestic industrial capacity," $213 billion for home sustainability and public housing... There will be little want for social programs, building dedications, investments in historically minority serving institutions ... in the likely event that our electric grids are compromised. That is not to say social programs are not magnanimous gestures, but we don't have the luxury of engaging in noble acts when the United States could be easily destroyed by bad actors seeking to incapacitate our Republic. Do I have your attention? Now is the time to shut the gate.
