Propaganda: The Liberal Bible

“The Force is strong with this one” is a line most of us are familiar with who were captivated by the first Star Wars Trilogy.  The storytelling of George Lucas felt as though he was explaining Good versus Evil in an entertaining fashion.

Just like storytellers in the past.

Homer, Shakespeare, and Mark Twain all regaled us with situations wrought with Right and Wrong.

Of course Lucas had electricity and the usage of special effects which as a young boy was incredible to watch.

Sadly the Me Generation Lucas appears to have gone to the Dark Side as the Liberal in him has apparently taken over.

The Boomer Generation has been having this battle for the last five decades.

The Vietnam Veterans versus the Timothy Leary Losers.

God, Family, Country versus Sex, Drugs, and Debt.

Fidelity versus Fornication.

Loyalty versus Lies.

Propaganda is strong in part of this Generation.

What is Propaganda?

It is the opposite of Truth.

Propaganda is a tricky little parasite that preys on the young and ignorant. It uses terminology like MY Truth or speak YOUR Truth to engage the inherent Individual, that Adam Smith wrote about, in us all.

The Young, who haven’t been provided knowledge, go along with this way of thinking as egocentrism through experience, has yet to be removed.

Young minds believe every thought they have, is an original one, to the world.

It is only original to them.

I know this for a fact as I too was once young.

The Propaganda in America these days isn’t any different from decades or centuries past of humans in general.

Greed, Lust, Power, Fortune, Rage, has always been a part of the Human Condition.

I doubt that will change anytime soon.

The reason things appear so chaotic now is partially Fortune but mostly Technology.

Comparatively speaking the wealth of the average American is staggering to the rest of the world.

It is very clear.

Freedom works and FreedomWorx.

Freedom of thought and movement coupled with clean water and rich land have allowed the human known as American to evolve much faster than other nationalities.

Until now.

Technology now propels Propaganda at the speed of sound and has replaced Personal Responsibility.

Too many for too long have abused themselves (and sadly others) with poor nutritional choices, drug/alcohol usage, and soul crushing debt that takes years if not decades off our lives.

For at least three generations we’ve been fed Propaganda and the effects are now roaming through the country like locust.

Type-Two Diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, and a wide variety of other illnesses because food has become “comfort” rather than sustenance.

Emaciated bodies, missing teeth, depression, child abuse and neglect, prison sentences, and the spread of HIV and Hepatitis because drugs are more accessible than school books.

Dilapidated neighborhoods filled with squatters, human trafficking, and gangs because greed and stupidity changed the American Dream from Freedom to Home Ownership.

Now we have “Journalists” trying to tell us kneeling while the National Anthem is being played is “Patriotic” and “helpful”.

For the sake of argument let us ignore that “Hands Up Don’t Shoot” was a complete lie, that Michael Brown was a detriment to society and that his demise definitely saved lives.

Let us ignore that Hands Up Don’t Shoot morphed into Black Lives Matter.

Just like Sunni to Wahhabism, Wahhabism into Al Qaeda and Al Qaeda into ISIS.

Another example of a “gradual slide” is the belief that a Constitutional Republic is really a Democratic Republic which turned into Democracy and finally arrived at Democratic Socialism.

For those paying attention this occurred last year right in front of our eyes.

Unchecked Propaganda can become very powerful and as we have seen repeatedly, must continue to reinvent itself or die.

For sake of argument let us ignore that the traitor known as Colin Kaepernick, has been endorsed by BLM, who has also endorsed the “Palestinian” movement.

In another word, Hamas.

A known terrorist organization that takes money from Iran and is the elected “government” of the “Palestinian” people.

Let us also ignore the fact that Kaepernick on many occasions has touted the “laurels” of Fidel Castro (a fascist murdering thug who hates America), has an Islamic (presumably Sunni) “girlfriend” who supports the Muslim Brotherhood, hates White Humans, and loves Malcolm X.

A Sunni Muslim who also hated America and everything America STANDS FOR.

Let us stay with this premise for a few more thoughts and ignore that both Clintons and Bush protected Saudi Arabia (the country responsible for 9/11) and that Obama protected Iran (the country that supports Hamas, Hezbollah, North Korea and is allied to Russia).

For us to ignore all of this we would have to ignore that Islam, Sunni and Shiite, is here in America, and is adjoined with other oppressive groups like the Democratic Party and in some cases the Republican Party as well.

Tim Tebow took a knee in celebration and the Liberals spat at him.

The NFL is taking a knee in cowardice and Liberals cheer.

Propaganda always targets the youth and the ignorant.

The NFL is filled with both, on the field.

The NFL owners on the other hand are not young.

They are greedy and they must be punished for their sins against America.

We can no longer turn our heads or give the other cheek.

Ignoring these facts will only allow the situation to get worse and it’s already in a pretty bad place.

Actions that do not have consequences will continue to grow.  The ramifications of Oppression unchecked is very knowable and is easily spotted in Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and too many nations to list on the continent of Africa.

The Power of the Purse is an incredible one indeed but it must be wielded wisely and with authority.

Currently most Americans have this Power.  This is also referred to as the Power of the Pen.

For those of you who cannot or will not wield the Sword your Pens must start flowing.

Turn off the NFL and the NBA and stand for Freedom.

Stand for America.

Do not stand for Propaganda.

There is no place for it in these United States.

None.

There’s a saying, “You’ve got to stand for something or you’ll fall for anything.”

Let us correct this.

If one doesn’t stand for Freedom, the fall to their knees will not be pleasant, as the choice, will not be theirs.

Cockroaches and Cowards are found on the ground.

This was never about police brutality.  It was never about “Black Lives”.

We’ve watched cowards take a knee, knowingly or not, in support of Islam.

I know it.

Colin Kaepernick knows it.

The Nation of Islam knows it.

The same Nation of Islam that called for the killing of White People.

It’s our move America.

Checkers or Chess.

Cockroaches, Cowards, or Country.

Turn the hate off.

The Law. It Only Matters When Enforced.

In 1986 Ronald Reagan made a “deal” with Democrats and amnestied millions of humans in the United States illegally, most of them from Mexico.

The “deal” was the border would be permanently secured while “giving” Democrats more voter support.

Some may argue that is a bit simplistic.

The truth is always simple and the aforementioned statement is one hundred percent correct.

In regards to Reagan’s opinion of this event it was “reported” later that he considered this deal a “mistake” and I have heard many Reagan supporters make this statement.  Whether Reagan said this is irrelevant as his decision to sign this bill changed the United States forever.

Millions of humans were granted the ultimate gift (American Citizenship) based solely on their willingness to illegally enter the United States.

The propaganda has been strong for decades and again most believe “immigration” of “undocumented aliens” has been good for the citizens of America.

It hasn’t.

When humans of any country are rewarded for doing the wrong thing they will continue down that path.

Reagan probably thought he was securing America for generations to come.  What he did was create a gigantic magnet that changed California almost overnight. Gangs like La Raza and MS-13 became entrenched in the Golden State over time and tentacled out into the rest of the country.  If that wasn’t bad enough organized crime from Russia, China, Vietnam, Guatemala, Honduras, and of course Mexico continued to grow and under the Obama administration groups like CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood et al, and the Nation of Islam became stronger and better populated.

The “reported” number of humans here illegally is ten to twelve million.

Completely false.

There’s probably ten million in California alone.

The number is probably closer to forty million.

Regardless even ten million is ten million too many.

A society that is created on the Rule of Law must enforce those laws otherwise society breaks down.

This is exactly what is happening.

California is openly and proudly being run by La Raza members. Ponce De Leon and his brethren are now attempting to usurp the power of the Federal Government by using the court system of the Federal Government, primarily the 9th circuit.

There is no doubt ALL of our systems have been corrupted in America.  Some States are attempting to fight back (Virginia just removed most of its voting machines although a pessimist might say they are trying to “remove the proof”) while others like Illinois and California are now openly violating Federal Law and declaring themselves to be Sanctuary States.

Technically this is sedition, but as we’ve seen if humans on one side, will not stop humans on the other side from abusing them, then the abuse continues until history is written by the abusers.

Many will ask how we have gotten this far.  The constant usage of the Dollar to “paper over” decisions has allowed this for decades.

In one word, debt, but that will be a different subject for a different time.

In California we provide every means of support including legal counsel to humans here illegally.  Our courts, jails, and prisons are so overwhelmed we are now changing the designation of many crimes and releasing dangerous and violent humans back onto our streets.

In the little town where I reside we have had murder, kidnapping, and grand theft auto.  In just the last six months we’ve experienced one attempted bank robbery, one successful, and a few days ago the local Walgreens had its doors smashed in by a vehicle followed by a chain being tied around the ATM and dragged out the door.

South of us the City of Sacramento is now PAYING “gangbangers” to stop killing each other.

Yes that is correct, and just like Amnesty, the City of Sacramento will learn (for many the hard way) that paying evil to not commit evil acts, only attracts, more bad actors.

Amnesty for a few million “aliens” has now brought us tens of millions of illegals.

Cash for criminals will bring more criminals.

It is a sad but true fact that the Rule of Law is no longer in place in these United States.

When a County Sheriff is railroaded by a Federal Court Judge for doing his DUTY the rules don’t apply anymore. When it takes the President of the United States to save the Sheriff from being locked up there is no law.

Very few of us have Get Out Of Jail Free cards, not that we or Sheriff Arpaio should need them.

President Trump has been compared to former President Reagan.

In many cases this comparison is correct.

Reagan thought “compassion” was more important than the law and that making a deal with the devil would be justified in the end.

Doing the wrong thing for the “right” reason is still the wrong thing.

Reagan didn’t suffer for this.

Americans did and do.

Higher property and identity crime, suppressed wages, more pollution, not to mention rape and murder have all risen because of one decision in 1986.

We stand here again, thirty plus years later, putting our trust in the new Reagan to “build a big beautiful wall” and deport all the illegals, as he said he would.

Dear President Trump,

As I’ve stated many times, and I’m sure you well know, you were elected to shut the border, remove all illegals, and enforce the Rule of Law.

Punting Obama’s illegal action known as DACA to Congress was hopefully only a mistake, not a harbinger of another Reagan deal.

Those of us who put you there are not sycophants, followers, or Trumpians.

We supported you because of the things you said you would do. Had you never spoken about the border my strong opinion is that Ted Cruz or Ben Carson would have been the Republican nominee.

You however stepped directly into the fray, and started to fight on the one issue everyone, who cares about America, knew had to be addressed.

We respected you for this and put you in the Oval Office despite some “interesting” statements to say the least. Most of us knew there would be things you would do and decisions you might make that we would disagree with.

For example continuing the war in Afghanistan.

It is my opinion that we shouldn’t be there anymore.  It is also my opinion that one American soldier is worth more than the entire country of Afghanistan but I also know this is a difficult situation.  I don’t agree with your decision but I will continue to support you in spite of it.

It is very clear the Republican and Democratic “swamp dwellers” hate and fear you.

Good.

We hate them as well and support you even more because of this however your proclivity or “willingness” to “make a deal” has many of us concerned and rightly so.

We cannot have another Reagan “deal”.

NADA on DACA.

If this is done you will be ignoring the primary reason you were elected.

You will also be strengthening La Raza, MS-13, CAIR, and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Whether you believe that or not is irrelevant.

It is true.

You will also strengthen the “Democratic-Socialist” base, which we need dramatically less of, not more.

I want to be clear President Trump.

We put you there to fix Reagan’s mistake.

Doubling down isn’t an option for us, and if it isn’t an option for us, it cannot be an option for you.

It is my opinion that the only reason Paul Ryan hasn’t brought Impeachment charges to the House floor is because he is afraid of We The People and our very physical response to that.

He’s smarter than he looks, and as I’ve stated in the past if he does try this, I will personally arrive in D.C.

I won’t be alone.

With that said a DACA amnesty, or any amnesty for that matter, closes the door on my support.

ALL OF IT.

If you will not ENFORCE OUR LAWS and KEEP YOUR WORD you are on your own.

The sharks have been in the water for a while.

Your decision to swim with them isn’t wise. When they attack, and they will, we aren’t coming in after you.

What’s next?  A helicopter drop of cash to Iran in the middle of the night?

Obamacare for everyone?

The debt ceiling is being raised.

Common Core is still being taught.

Lois Lerner isn’t being indicted.

Hillary Clinton is still a criminal walking free.

Janet Yellen is still crushing the Dollar and feeding her friends.

The Dems, whom you are making deals with, have called you a racist, bigoted, homophobic Nazi and your decision is to give them more voters?

If you do, it will be a two-fer.

With your support of criminality the Dems will gain votes.

On the other hand you will lose mine.

I guarantee you I won’t be alone.

Remember we aren’t sycophants.

We are Americans.

Remember us?

We remember you.

“If I was President you’d be in jail.”

“I will build a big beautiful wall and Mexico will pay for it.”

“American children have dreams too.”

Hillary’s on a book tour calling you a stalker.

The wall is non-existent.

The only thing in Mexico getting paid is their citizens, here illegally, working in America, and that money leaves the United States on a daily basis.

In other words we are paying them.

Dreams?

More like a nightmare.

Children, American and otherwise, are still being trafficked through the border.

Their lives are being ruined or ended.

You are supposed to Make America Great Again.

In closing I will reference a man who ended his days in exile while quoting another famous Reagan.

Amnesty, in any form, is your Waterloo.

Just say no.

KNOWLEDGE MUST BE GATHERED. MORE IMPORTANTLY IT MUST BE SHARED.

Yesterday I Ubered home. My wonderful truck (almost 200,000 miles) informed me that we needed a water pump and my trusted mechanic(s) told me that the job wouldn’t be completed in time for my drive home from work.

Hence Uber.

My driver was a very polite and energetic young man in his early thirties. Our first thirty seconds covered introductions. He told me he was a father of three and working three jobs to pay the bills. Through a little more discussion I found out he was a graduate from the University of California, Davis.

For those of you not familiar with California we in NORTHERN California refer to Davis as the People’s Republic of Davis.

Yes, as in the People’s Republic of China.

Upon my verbal curiosity he informed me he had graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in American Studies.

Of course this piqued my interest.

Number one, I am an American.

Number two, I’d never heard of that as a Major.

I kind of smiled and said, “well my friend please tell me what the professors in American studies are teaching you.”

His verbiage was filled with propaganda but it was very clear to me he was struggling with the things he was saying.

It was as though he knew the things he’d been taught were wrong but this was the education that he’d received so until someone said something different he was going to use that verbiage.

Kind of like auto-pilot.

Again a very nice, smart, hard-working and pleasant young man.

I turned off auto-pilot and started talking about the things I always talk about.

Freedom.

America.

“The Great Experiment”.

Benjamin Franklin and Adam Smith.

He listened very intently for about ten minutes, and when I paused, asked me to keep going because he agreed with everything I’d just said.

I discussed labels for a minute (how dangerous and unproductive they are) and then asked him to give me the title of one of his third or fourth year classes.

He answered with “African-American culture in urban America.”

I just started to laugh.

“That’s quite a handle. No labels there,” I said.

He laughed with me and said, ” I agree with everything you said and most of my professors would have hated you. As far as they are concerned everything is messed up because of the White Man.”

I nodded.

He continued, “except for one of my last professors. He talked about Adam Smith the way you just did. When I get home I am going to look up my notes. I loved that class!”

With a few minutes to go he said casually that he was a Muslim. I asked, as I always do, Sunni or Shiite. He said Sunni and that most Muslims are Sunni. We briefly discussed the Koran and then I said my problem with Islam is Sharia. Sharia is the law in Islamic nations and is systemic oppression. It abuses women, children, and many men.

He agreed and said he hated Sharia and that is wasn’t found in the Koran.

I replied whether it is or isn’t is irrelevant. It’s found in every nation where muslims are the majority.

He agreed.

We were almost to my house when I asked him where his parents were from.

He answered his father was from Syria and his mother was “Mexican-American…a Chicano.”

I smiled again and said, “no labels there.”

I then continued with “when I asked where your father was from you said Syria. That is a nation and a factual answer. You then said your mother was Mexican-American, a Chicano. These things don’t exist. We are humans, homo-sapiens, and we have a specific nationality. Mexico-America doesn’t exist. Neither does Chicano.”

I looked at him again and asked “where were you born?”

He answered, “Harbor City, California.”

I blinked twice and said, “so was I.”

We sat there for a few seconds and then I asked him “what is YOUR nationality?”

He looked me straight in the eye and said, “I am an American! I love the United States!”

America First.

AMERICAN ONLY.

The young people will listen as long as we continue to ROAR !!!

The Truth is a powerful thing.

The kids know they have been lied to and they are sick of it.

They’re just not sure where to turn.

Shine the light and lead the way.

Freedom First.

Freedom ONLY.

Let us take our pens and our swords and push “into this good night!”

Pens firing away.

Swords sharpened and at the ready.

So ready in fact they never have to be used.

God has blessed these United States.

The rest is up to us.

As Adam Smith has pointed out, the rest is up to you.

Lookin’ at the promise of the Promised Land

One day last week, on my way to work, I turned on the radio.

These days I normally head straight to music, but on this particular day I was feeling good and a little curious about the rest of the channels that I’d ignored off and on for the last few years.

I went to FoxBusiness first and listened to a grown man-child drone on about nothing in particular.  After sixty seconds my brain began to atrophy and I reached for the knob.

I hadn’t listened to the Comedy News Network (CNN) in forever but there had to be a missing plane somewhere that Russia was probably responsible for.

Wolf “Coyote” Blitzer was hyperventilating about the possibilities of Hurricane Irma while trying to pin some politician down regarding the raising of the debt ceiling.  In between the Coyote’s wailing and whining the no name politician used the term “schooled up” which caused me to lung for the knob and twist it to anything that would make the pain stop.

I landed on a station titled Mad Dog.  Mad Dog is supposed to be a sports talk radio station and par for the course the host was talking about how Hurricane Irma was going to mess up his kid’s fantasy football team.

Then again that is sports these days.

Fantasy football, assault, and kneeling.

I’m always a glass half full person but we may need more glass and better humans.

In other words we need a bigger boat.

Maybe Ark sized.

I thought about one more shot with sports radio but my senses finally kicked in and reminded me that to listen to former athletes who don’t enunciate or use words like “funna” “aks” or “whatsupdog”, accompanied by shock jocks that have no idea what it is like to compete athletically at any level, wouldn’t be something beneficial to my day.

As previously mentioned I headed to music.

Country music in particular.

I enjoy all forms of music but these days I prefer to listen to melodies that were created not sampled, harmonies not drowned out by a thumping bass, and lyrics that don’t refer to women as bitches and “hoes”.

Actually it’s not just these days.

It’s been this way my entire life.

Call me crazy.

I call it sane.

Falcon Sane.

That’s an inside joke for those who have been with me for a while and have also read Late Bird.

As always thank you.  You are the reason OUR message continues forward.

We are building an army from Northern California to Oklahoma to Michigan to New York to Florida.

As an American Brother of mine recently wrote, “It’s just beginning. I’m glad we are finding out who all the softies are before s*&t gets real. Pass me the ball, I’m ready to score. March on Brother!”

March on indeed.

I digress.

I landed on a country station that reminded me EXACTLY why I listen to country. The duo Brooks and Dunn came screaming through the speakers, fortunately without bass.

“Sun coming up over New York City
School bus driver in a traffic jam
Staring out at the faces in a rear view mirror
Lookin’ at the promise of the Promised Land

One kid dreams of fame and fortune
One kid helps pay the rent
One could end up going to prison
One just might be president

Only in America
Dreamin’ in red white and blue
Only in America
Where we dream as big as we want to

We all get a chance
Everybody gets to dance
Only in America”

There are so many wonderful lines here I won’t try to cover them all.

They did masterfully describe our country.

“Only in America, Where we dream as big as we want to”.

Otherwise known as the pursuit of happiness.

Of course for those to dream of fame and fortune someone has to pay the rent.

That someone is US and we continue forward to ensure that those “faces in the rear view mirror” get that chance to be President.

Lookin’ at the promise of the Promised Land.

Take a good look.

They are counting on US.

They are counting on you.

Only in AMERICA.

Dreamin’ in Red White and Blue.

Only in AMERICA.

Where we dream as big as we want to.

The dream is Freedom.

The rent is due.

Time to collect.

Crazy never takes a day off

When I sit down to write I have a theme or an idea in mind.  This week the world seemed to have jumped from one event to another faster than normal.

Maybe it’s just the sporadic and emotionally unbalanced way the Liberal Press decided to cover (selectively) current events.

With that in mind I will write at their same pace and try to balance out their proclivity of chasing their own tail or creating their own tales.

While Texas and Texans were getting crushed by Harvey, Liberals all over America were crowing that Texas was “getting what it deserved” or calling it “instant Karma” because Texas went Trump.

I abhor these parasites.

Yep it’s going to be that kind of column.

While humans were dying, the press focused on the clothing choices of the President and Mrs. Trump, her choice of shoes, his hat, and Russia.

When the President sent out a message stating he only wanted to Make America Great Again the hyenas attacked as though restoring these United States was something that only a crazy person would want.

America did what America does and rushed in from all over the country with food, water, supplies, and even boats that were used to help stranded and scared people.

A few stories of the Cajun Navy coming in to rescue Texans lead to others joining and we were even told that there was a Cajun Army, and Cajun Special Forces.

Good to know.

The “Rajun” Cajuns from that “bigoted”Red State of Louisiana were roaring into Liberal Houston, where the mayor was still rationalizing his decision to not leave, and putting their “uneducated, redneck, backward, white supremacist asses” on the line to save Liberals.

Sounds about right.

God blessed Texas that day with Louisiana, who was having their own issues with Harvey.

God bless those Rajun Cajuns.

The Liberal Press couldn’t be bothered to cover Americans who voted for Trump doing wonderful things so they turned their focus back to an unemployed idiot who chose to support Hamas over America.

Yes, that is exactly what Kaepernick did.

We were then told by the Hamas lover herself, Nancy Pelosi, that Antifa, or at least those in Berkeley, should be arrested and prosecuted because “our democracy has no room for inciting violence or endangering the public”.

Such a Stupid Human.

WE ARE NOT A DEMOCRACY you babbling idiot.

I told you it would be that type of column.

This is quite a turnaround for Pelosi as she did everything she could to help Antifa grow.

White hoods or Black hoods.

They’re all still HOODS, and for Ms. Nancy my guess is Antifa payback is coming, and just like all payback, it’ll be a Hillary.

Speaking of traitors it appears Warren Buffett continued to get richer off the backs of Americans.

Wells Fargo took their fake account program to apparently another level while Jimmy’s fat brother made another fortune.

How much is enough Warren?

Just like Nancy, silly Warren appears to believe the tide is turning against Progressive Liberalism (Oppression) as he recently stated “I think, if I can be helpful in some big way — there’s nothing at the present time — I’d do it.  I’d do it for President Trump.”

How droll.

He then followed that with “I would’ve done it for Hillary Clinton if she’d gotten elected,” showing us that both Clinton and Buffett should immediately be indicted.

One for admitted felonies and the other for supporting, aiding, and abetting known criminals and criminality.

This is called Racketeering.

Where are you Jeff Sessions?

Buffett is guilty as the day is long yet sadly he is a true measurement of someone “too big to fail”.

It’s not as though Liberalism was only found here this week.

Stupidity also popped its head up in Germany where Angela Merkel’s Foreign Minister wanted to warn us about a war with North Korea being the “deadliest conflict in history”.

Germany is infamous for at least three things.

Expelling Albert Einstein.

The massacre of Israelis at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich.

Starting and losing wars.

In case that wasn’t clear Nazi’s (Antifa) and Islam (CAIR) always lose in the end.

ALWAYS.

Those that wear masks and/or head cover because they cannot hide their shame, or control their bodily urges, will never prevail.

They simply won’t get enough Vitamin D.

Only Stupid Humans would rail on about solar energy and then completely cover their frames disallowing the sun to strengthen their bodies.

I suggest we have a party.

We get the Nazis, the KKK, (all twelve of them and their cousins), Antifa, Black Lives Matter, La Raza, and CAIR in the same room along with the head of the DNC, the Clintons, Obamas, and Bernie Sanders.

I can hear Tom Perez right now.

“Didn’t I tell each and every one of you to never be in the same place at the same time?”

Don’t worry Tom.  California is trying to pass a law before our next election that will allow felons to vote and the city of Sacramento is now paying “gang bangers” to not commit crimes.

Between the illegals, the convicts, and the Stupid Humans you’ll at least carry Southern California and no Sacramento isn’t Nor Cal.

Those of us in Northern California, well, we see it a little differently.

We are rolling with the Texans.

We are rolling with the Cajuns.

Let the Rajun begin.

Let that gift be you

Growing up in the seventies and eighties one of the more common sayings was “if you don’t have anything nice to say, say nothing at all.”

Not only was this a wonderful lesson in self-control it also helped to keep the disease known as gossip under wraps.

That was then, this is now.

In today’s world that beneficial saying has been replaced with “just keeping it real” as though gossip and ignorance are “real”.

Whatever that means.

Another is “speaking MY truth” which allows virtually anything to come out of someone’s mouth.

Sadly these are the types of things that happen when Participation diminishes Competition.

When everyone believes they are “special” and a gift to the world.

Hubris has replaced humility.

Greed has replaced Grace.

Morals have been replaced with madness, and because of this, humanity and our systems, are breaking down.

Technology has opened the door for those, whose lives are empty, to “troll” and attempt to put their pain onto others.

They are “just keeping it real, yo.”

These souls are so damaged and in need of something with which to belong, they fill their days jumping onto websites, comment sections, and Facebook pages.

They speak their “truth” by threatening, badgering, and at times stalking others while using vile language including but not limited to profanity.

In the real world none of these things come out of their mouths as they are nothing but keyboard warriors and this is where we, for the betterment of our lives and theirs, must remove them completely.

These humans are comparable to cancer and have the same effect on our bodies.

Unlike cancer, dealing with these diseased animals is very easy, and at your fingertips.

Delete, block, and remove permanently from your life.

“Diversity of thought” doesn’t mean three caring intelligent minds sharing time with three ignorant bigots.

Life isn’t “fair and balanced”.

Life is what you make it.

For example Human Trafficking is never fair nor will there ever be a balance.

It’s something that must stop.

By engaging with the diseased we are giving them a platform to spread their infection.

Would you willingly eat rotten food?

Why then do we engage with rotten minds?

I don’t anymore.

A while ago I had a comment on one of my Facebook pages.  They wanted to know why, out of thousands of comments on my pages, none of them were negative.

This person went on to say they were “speaking their truth” while “keeping it real yo.”

After reading the first paragraph I scrolled to the bottom of the comment that went on for quite a while.  As one can imagine it was filled with hate and desperation and was screaming for my attention.

Like a meth head begging for a hit.

I know most, if not all of us, have had this experience or something similar at one time or another.

For those who value their own health and happiness, deleting and blocking these people without responding, is the best option.

If we have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all, and then remove them from your life so their internal battles don’t become yours.

This can be very difficult ( I have succumbed more than once) as most of us want to strike back or feel we must otherwise we are cowards.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

It is those who remove them without feeding the beast that have strength and are in a position of authority while providing leadership.

No one said leading or doing the right thing is easy.

If however you fall into the category of wanting to “save or educate” or believe it is your duty to explain to these lost vessels what is right and what is wrong I proffer this thought.

For an addict, drug or drama, to ever have a chance to heal, they must first want to heal, otherwise the cycle will repeat, and it does, right on our computer screens.

The loving thing to do with these individuals is to remove them from your life.  Only when they have nowhere else to turn, will the possibility of the truth entering their lives, have a chance.

Silence can be golden and in many cases less is more.

Humans aren’t born special but each one does have an opportunity to be a gift.

Let that gift be you.

America isn’t a village

There appears to be three types of voters in these United States.

Our first types are the ones that voted for Obama (the second time), those that voted for Hillary (at any time), and those still willing to vote for a Bush, a Kasich, a McCain, or any Democratic Candidate.

These are called Stupid Voters.

This may seem brutal but sadly it is quite accurate and the longer they are coddled the worse things will get.

They simply don’t have the capacity to learn or the willingness to care.

These are the types that have not, will not, and do not think for themselves.

They aren’t new to society or societies.

They are the ones that benefit from the hard work, creativity, and ingenuity of others.

These types have been around since Clans and Caves.  Sadly they also seem to be the type that procreate like rabbits creating more Woundworts than Bigwigs.

Our second group is made up of those who jumped on the Bernie bandwagon and never got off, those who think Rubio just needs some seasoning, and those still willing to support McConnell and Ryan.

These are the Ignorant Voters.

They have the capacity to learn but for one reason or another are still willing to IGNORE THE FACTS placed in front of them.

They use terminology like ‘he’s a nice guy” or “she’s the lesser of two evils”.

They correctly opine about the national debt and the criminality known as  “immigration” and yet continue to vote for the same individuals who promise to do something about these things while actively make them worse.

The Stupid Voter can be dealt with by having a Press, that provides factual data, as the Stupid Voter will repeat whatever the mantra is that day.

It is the Ignorant Voter that is the real problem and quite dangerous to Freedom.

They waffle back and forth between “fairness” and “equality” while calling themselves Blue Dog Democrats, Progressive Republicans, Compassionate Conservatives, or the new one, Pro-Life Liberals.

They have no moral code or boundaries and are easily swayed through emotional manipulation.  They view life in such an egocentric fashion that they believe their opinions are actually facts and hold the key to “peace on Earth”.

These are the deep thinkers that have come up with communal propaganda like “it takes a village” or “your kids aren’t yours” and stimulus checks.

They are also the bright minds who believe human consumption, specifically in The United States, is warming the planet causing the Earth to die while then trying to bring more humans in and gather them in Sanctuary Cities.

This is a special kind of lunacy.

The third type of voter in America is very easy to understand.

This group voted for Donald Trump because of three issues.

(1) The removal of all illegals.

(2) The repeal of ObamaDoesn’tCare.

(3) Trump wasn’t a Republican or a Democrat and it was very clear the brass in both Parties not only hated him but feared his election.

This group is called Americans.

This group knew “it” was broken and “it” had to be fixed.

This group didn’t run around “hailing Caesar” on bended knee like the Stupid and Ignorant did with Bert & Bernie or Hillary because of her gender.

Hillary would have been better served with “It’s MY time” as a catch phrase rather than I’m with Stupid (Her).

The Americans KNEW the border needed to be shut AND tens of millions needed to be removed.

This group knew ObamaDoesn’tCare was eating away at our systems and had to be removed completely.

This group understood that both Parties were filled with traitors and parasites, and although Trump wasn’t the perfect candidate in the history of the United States, he was the perfect candidate right now.

Someone way outside the box.

Someone who was not beholden to either Party.

Someone who would fight and could win if given the support and chance.

Americans stood up and have given him both and although he isn’t the perfect President he is perfect for where we are in America.

He has at times been crass,  occasionally calloused, and always clear.

If you don’t understand Trump it’s probably because you are “woke” and not awake.

The Stupid will continue to repeat what they hear on the “idiot box” and say things like “we are on the right side of history”.

Histrionics would be more accurate.

The Ignorant are filled with angst and emotion and cannot figure out which side they are on but are willing to follow along with the Americans as long as the stock markets continue higher.

Greed is a powerful force but not stronger than the group known as American.

The Americans will continue to push forward disregarding the daily babble from all news media and support the man who is standing on the hill currently taking the arrows.

The American doesn’t kneel, slobber, or beg for the President to save “them”.

Americans put Trump there to do the job that needed doing, and as long as he is, Americans will make sure he knows he is appreciated and respected for stepping into the fray.

Furthermore we are ready to stand on that hill with him.

He need only make the call.

Yet the Ignorant reading this now will still not comprehend how powerful the need for Freedom is to the American so let me make it clear.

It has been said millions of times and proven throughout the history of the United States that Her citizens, if need be, will defend Her with their very last breath, but for America to survive and thrive that last breath won’t be coming from the American.

It will be coming from her enemies.

This country has no place for the Ignorant.

Knowledge not education is power.

I strongly suggest you “educated souls” come in from the cold and out of the dark.

The climate is indeed changing and your only hope for survival is to get on the Right side.

If you aren’t sure which side that is then take a deep breath as it will be your last.

Your kind of ignorance will find no bliss nor any quarter in these United States.

Sincerely yours,

An American

“Vote Democrat because anything is possible.”

A while ago I wrote about a Democratic Congressman out of Florida who proclaimed that he and the Liberals had the “black and hispanic vote”, the strong support of the gay community, and were going to run the country.

Florida then proceeded to go for Trump.

Oh the well laid plans of mice and stupid men.

Still, I remember listening to this buffoon and wondering how someone with so much hate and ignorance could ever attain such a position.

I guess anything is possible within today’s Democratic Party.

That could be their new slogan.

“Burning cities, closing schools, runaway debt, and control by public unions which will require new taxes every election cycle.  Vote Democrat because anything is possible.”

I digress.

The Liberal Loon from Florida had made quite a statement.

The Dems had the blacks, hispanics, and gays.

I’m pretty sure there is a word for the concept of having blacks, hispanics, and gays but more on that in a minute.

As I do with all communication, verbal or written, I think about the actual words people use.

Black, hispanics, and gays.

I don’t “have” any black friends.

I don’t have any hispanic or gay friends either because I am not a BIGOT.

I have FRIENDS.

The proximity to the sun of one’s ancestors or sexual preference isn’t on my list of things I find important or relevant to call someone my friend.

Loyal, ethical, smart, hard-working, etc.

This is my list.

Anyone who has a list that has any color or gender preference on it or believes in “skin color diversity” is a stupid human and should be removed from your life.

I have.

These people believe in victimization and live their lives in that role.

It’s incredibly damaging to be around these types of parasites.

Chicago is filled with these types of humans.  California is as well.

Let’s get back to what works.

Loyal, ethical , smart, hard-working, etc.

That is my list.

All humans with these values are valuable to these United States.

I don’t “have” friends.

I am a friend.

Do unto others as you would have done unto you.

As Americans we must choose intelligently and wisely as to whom we will befriend.

In other words Liberals need not apply.

We don’t “have” any room for bigots and personally speaking I lost all patience for Progressivism five clicks back.

Click Liberals.

Click.

Happy Birthday to the Red White and Blue

Born in Southern California every 4th of July celebration I can remember was pretty much the same.  Playing in the neighborhood all day while stopping to eat a wide variety of foods usually only available on holidays.  I’m sure some type of large firework show took place but I don’t really remember them.  I do remember Whistling Petes, Black Snakes, and Sparklers.  The acrid smell of smoke and burnt vegetation as a Spinning Flower once bounced off a street curb and into one of our neighbor’s ivy.

That left a mark.

It wasn’t too long after that my family moved to Trinity County.

Northern California.

Even back then things were different.

The hub of Trinity County was and is a town called Weaverville.  Those of you who’ve read Late Bird I’m sure recognize the name.

Weaverville is surrounded by little mill towns that hold anywhere from thirty to one hundred people each.

Certainly not sprawling metropolises.  Probably more coyotes than people and without a doubt more snakes and scorpions.

I sometimes laugh when I hear “snakes are more scared of you than you are of them.”

They should be.  We have a corpus callosum and opposable thumbs.

At least those of us who voted for Trump.

In Weaverville the 4th of July was an event because the citizens and community leaders loved the United States.

Flags and bunting decorated the town.

Red, white, and blue hats, shirts, and bandanas were found everywhere.

Veterans were shown respect because of their courage to serve, protect, and defend.

The same type of courage found more than two hundred years ago.

The courage of men and women who if caught would be hung as traitors to the Crown.

The term American back then was whispered by many as it could get you beaten, robbed, or killed by the English or those loyal to the King.

American heroes like Francis Marion known as the Swamp Fox and John Paul (I have not yet begun to fight) Jones engaged in the battle on land and sea and American legends like Nathan Hale were created when unmeasurable courage met an unbreakable noose.

In the name of the United States.

In the name of Freedom.

Fireworks are a large part of most 4th of July celebrations.  Many ooh and aah at them.  I have done so as well.  We are gifted with their visual beauty because nothing horrific follows the streaking of light through the sky followed by a large explosion.

“And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.”

The flag was still there but many Americans were not and would never see the Stars and Stripes ever again because “Don’t tread on me” actually meant DON’T TREAD ON ME.

I hope each and every one of you enjoy your 4th of July celebrations.

My point of this article is to continue the knowledge, lessons, and stories that were given to me by my parents, teachers, and books.

That before we partake in the ice cream, hot dogs, and apple pie we pause for a moment or two to appreciate those who made it possible that we see fireworks as a beautiful sight because we don’t live in a war zone.

That before we run off to the lake to barbecue and swim that we say thank you to the Big Fella Upstairs for whom this nation was found under.

That before the carnivals start, the cotton candy sticks to too many little faces, that before the rockets red glare, we understand the ultimate truth.

Freedom isn’t Free.

Article 4 Section 4

I was recently having a conversation with an incredibly bright individual about western civilization (specifically Socratic Theory which was introduced through Plato’s Republic) and different types of government.

A question was then asked of me which I answered.

When I finished, a comment was made that my next column should be “exactly what I just said”.

Here goes.

Socrates theorized about different types of governments that started with Aristocracy and eventually succumbed to Tyranny.

In between the two are Timocracy (control by land owners) Oligarchy (control by a small select group) and Democracy (control by the Majority).

With the conclusion and success of Americans during the Revolutionary War a form of Government was needed.

Many voices including James Madison DID NOT want any of the five listed above including Democracy.

These voices wanted a form of government that protected the Individual.

Not just Kings and Queens.

Not just property owners.

Not just a select group based on the whims of the select group.

Not just the Majority.

The protection of every single American equally.

Hence a form of Plato’s concept of a Republic was put into action.

Yes, I am aware every American did not have equal rights as this was happening, but that every American does now shows the power of the concept of a Republic.

Had America been set up as a Democracy, slavery could still be legally protected, with the approval of the Majority.

So could the beating of women and the murder of homosexuals.

In other words Sharia Law.

Again the concept of a Republic is to protect the Individual.

The question everyone should be asking, regarding the Individual, is what does a Republic protect?

This depends on whether the Republic has any rules or guidelines to follow.

The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and the People’s Republic of China are both examples of systemic oppression.

They are both “Republics” but both of these “governments” treat their citizens as useful idiots to be manipulated, threatened, beaten, enslaved, and even killed.

The concept of a Republic can only go so far.  For it to flourish it must have two things.

First it must have Absolutes.

Very specific items that never change and are beneficial to the protection of the Individual.

Second these Absolutes must be enforced across the board regardless.

Our Founding Fathers created a document of Absolutes.

We call this The Constitution of the United States and these specific items are called Rights.

Constitutional Rights of the Individual American Citizen.

These Rights do not stretch to other nationalities nor do they extend beyond the border of these United States regardless of what oligarchical figures or democratic mouthpieces continue to spew.

In fact to proclaim that the Constitutional Rights of the American are also carried by any non-citizen is ignorant by the private citizen and illegal by the government “servant”.

This began with Reagan, and has continued at least through Obama, that humans from a wide variety of countries have not only been afforded the Constitutional Rights of an American, they have also been given the ultimate gift, through multiple amnesties.

The gift of Citizenship.

For almost five decades both political Parties have literally spat in the face of the American Individual to protect their own oligarchies ( a small select group) by using democracy (majority over minority) to build voting blocks and coalitions.

The Republicans have done this historically to protect what is called Big Business, and open borders are advocated for by the United States Chamber of Commerce.

Big Business wants cheap labor so profits increase.  I am all for profit but not at the expense of Freedom.

Of long gone Justice.

Of the Law.

The United States of America was set up as a Republic.

A very specific set of rules called the Bill of Rights was created to serve all members of the Republic equally.

Today’s America is a collection of oligarchies inside and out of our Local, State, and Federal Government that are using the “vote” (Democracy) to manipulate and control human behavior.

We still have the Absolutes but for them to matter they must be enforced and equal for all.

They are not.

What we do have is Free Will and for those with knowledge, a very real understanding of why our Constitutional Right under the 2nd Amendment was created.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS, shall not be infringed.

Shall not be infringed.

Let the removal of oligarchies and democracies begin.

Freedom First.  Freedom Only.

A Republic First.

A Republic ONLY.
