Slavery still exists

Yesterday I went through my day as I always do.

The pursuit of happiness to the best of my ability through hard work, saving my money, and being beneficial to others.

Throughout the day the radio brought me propaganda about unisex bathrooms, the rights of “refugees” and “immigrants” and incessant noise about free college and why everyone deserves health care.

I guess the most important issue “climate change” wasn’t so important anymore…at least not yesterday.

Now for those of you who know me personally or have been here with me for a while you know I move with a purpose and a big smile on my face.

I believe in leading by example and positive energy.

I also believe in the very simple message of love God love one another.

With that said neither of my cheeks will ever turn allowing abuse to myself or anyone around me.

I believe in grace not victimization.

I digress.

Even though many of you in California and around the country sent letters requesting I be put on the stage at the Senate Debate last night our collective voices to have an Independent up there was ignored.

Instead a third Republican was put on the stage.

Yes a third Republican…in California.

It appears UOP has already chosen their candidates.

Can you guess which Party?

For those not familiar with the process in California only two make it to the General Election.

Two…not three.

As I watched the debate last night my slow burn began.

On the stage were five individuals who have taken money (campaign contributions) are willing to take more (salary, benefits, retirement) and will do it as long as they can.

My burn increased as I listened to individuals who support CAIR, La Raza, and crushing debt.

I listened to humans who have zero understanding of human behavior or intrinsic motivators.

I listened as the stage filled with “I” statements and braggadocio.

They sounded exactly like…Politicians.

Imagine that.

This of course isn’t new to any of us.

We’ve been so saturated by this behavior many have simply returned to the message of the Sixties.

Live for the now.

Tune in, turn on, drop out.

There is a new name now for irresponsible behavior that leads to millions of humans now unwilling to take care of themselves.

YOLO…or You Only Live Once.

Unfortunately too many have lived this way for too long and now want the rest of us to carry them the rest of their lives.

What’s even worse is this message of rationalization and justification has seeped into the upcoming generations.

So let us be clear.

You cannot borrow your way to financial freedom.

You cannot smoke, inhale, imbibe, or consume your way to emotional and biological health.

You must engage in only three practices to find success.

Work HARD.

SAVE your money.

Be beneficial to OTHERS.

As I turned off the television last night I thought about everything I just listened to.

The same talking points from two Parties (one who doesn’t exist in California).

No one was willing to take on our two real problems.

Crushing debt.

Human Trafficking through our open border.

As the stage was filled with nonsensical verbiage and economic absurdity more women and children were trafficked and sold in both directions through the magnet for crime known as our Southern Border.

More rapes, murders, and molestation continued and continue every day while Politicians talk about bathrooms.

It’s time we tune in to the truth and turn on to reality.

Dropping out isn’t going to be an option for too much longer…if you require Freedom.

Regardless the smile on my face has disappeared.

It’s been replaced with rage as the border costs more lives of those who don’t have the option of “dropping out” while these Politicians talk about “rights”…and bathrooms.

Human Trafficking, Selfie Sticks, a Coke and a Smile

I refer to it as the 80 -20 rule.  Eighty percent of you agree with what I am saying on a regular basis.  You are strong, fearless, and knowledgeable of what is happening in today’s society and around the world. You offer support, respectful insight, and information while spreading our message all over America.

You read the entire column.

Even our responsible first time readers, which we have every day, don’t finish the current column and then opine, “well you seem to understand the problems (thanks Sheldon Cooper) but how would you fix it?”

Our first time readers already know we have problems, recognize their own voice, words, and frustration, and exercise their energy and belief in personal responsibility and take THIRTY SECONDS to surf down the page or go to our website to find lo and behold the answers to all of their questions have been covered in column after column or video for the last SIX MONTHS.

This is you.  This is the 80 percent.  American men and women who get up at the crack of dawn every day and return home after sunset from a long day of work.  A hard but meaningful eight to ten to twelve to sometimes fourteen hour day of American sweat and equity without complaint.

You live in the real world and do what needs to be done because it needs to be done!

You don’t need me to explain things.  You don’t need to be led to water.

You are carrying the water for millions of others and only drink when absolutely necessary because that’s what Americans do!

Our predicament is understood by you on a visceral and financial level.  You know these things aren’t “complicated” or impossible to fix.

It takes ethics and perseverance.

Two things all of you have.

That’s why we refer to it as Shoulder to Shoulder.  We are in this together gathering one voice at a time.  No responsible voice is more or less important than the next.  We need them all and lovers of America are gathering, hungry to replace oppression with freedom.

Then we have the twenty percent.

Fifteen percent still support Obama.  This is an egregious error because it hardens the rest of us in our belief that they simply will not learn.  They have the capacity but choose to not deal in facts and reality.

We are a forgiving people but when we as a society understand their behavior is due to ignorance rather than intellect our compassion disappears.  I have warned about the pendulum swinging back for quite a while.

Energy of any kind doesn’t build momentum and then stop where you think it should.  When the box has been wound and wound no one of the “progressive” mind set should be surprised when Jack is in their face.

Every action has a reaction and the abuse laid upon the American people by Republican and Democratic politicians and those who continue to support these overt liars is now searching for an outlet.

The anger coming with this momentum is going to be tremendous.

The collapsing systems all around us will only increase America’s frustration.

Let me give you an example of ignorance rather than intellect.  I just finished reading a column in the Huffington Post.  Yes I know.  But I make it point to read “HuffPo”, Salon, and listen to as much of MSNBC as I can stomach.

Although I appreciate different opinions…propaganda and out right lies are a threat to freedom.

I watch, read, and listen to ascertain whether or not the progressive/oppressive mind set is barreling further off the rails.  Friends close enemies closer and although I hate to say it some of these people are enemies of freedom.

Nothing wrong with America.  Definitely something wrong with some Americans.

The column in HuffPo started out with a complete rewrite of American history followed by a layering of racism or as it is called these days, “white guilt”, “white privilege”, or white man bad”.  The writer then moved on to explain how America is living on borrowed time because of the Bible thumpers, climate deniers, and slavery.

Yes slavery.

Apparently no one has gotten over it, never mind the fact, that most people under the age of 35 couldn’t tell you anything about the Emancipation Proclamation, by whom this was proclaimed, or in what CENTURY this took place.

Nope…slavery alive and well.

Well…part of that is correct.

Slavery is alive and well and happening right now through our border.  It’s called Human Trafficking and some young girl or woman was just sold to the highest bidder.

So yes slavery does exist.

Maybe the writer should be focusing on what’s happening TODAY rather than centuries ago.  But then again that wouldn’t fit the agenda of self-loathing and the propping up of the current failure in the White House who is probably golfing somewhere.

Selfie Stick Slick who meets with Fruit Loop bathers and Pimps with Limps is ready to approve a Nuclear Arms deal with Iran.

Sounds about right.

Finally we have the 5 percent.  These are the people who abhor Obama, complain nonstop about all politicians and rant over and over that we need “regular” Americans in politics.

When one is found, willing to put themselves on the line in service to America…the 5 percent attack.

They won’t do any research.  They won’t listen to their friends.  They won’t bother getting involved because “it will never happen” or what does this “regular” person know about politics.  They moan about the problem but are unwilling to help when a new way arrives.  They’d rather gripe than take the time to really do something and we certainly won’t see them putting their NAME on the line.

I call this the “Eeyore Effect”.

We all know some of these people.  What’s amazing to me is how impressed they are with their own intelligence and life experience. They have all the answers never mind the fact that it’s America who carries them to water and holds them as they drink so they don’t drown in their own self-righteous indignation.

I actually prefer the Obama supporters to the Eeyores.  At least we know where the Selfie Stick supporters stand.

The Eeyores cause much more damage due to their Trojan Horse belief system.

As I’ve said plenty of times.  I am not here to convince.  I am here to inspire.

If you need convincing of our issues or think things are just fine…well…Hillary, Elizabeth, Jeb, or Marco would all appreciate you sending them a check.

They all take money, are career politicians, get paid by our tax dollars, and love the border just the way it is.

But if you are tired of the lies, the debt, slavery, and the overt disrespect to our military and tax paying citizens…then join us.

Someone who knows me very well was asked a question recently.

“Did you think Jason would try something like this?”

With a small nod, “if you really know Jason you know this isn’t about him.  He’s a very private person and I am a bit surprised he is willing to share so much about his life.”

They continued with a wry smile, “but once Jason says he is going to do something either get on board or get out of the way.  He’ll run you over.”

As I’ve told people many times I will not stop.  But the statement above is true.  This isn’t about me.  It never was, is, or will be.  It’s about America.  It’s about you.  It’s about us.

It’s about the 80 percent who show up every day proclaiming for the world to hear,

“We Are Americans and we love OUR country!”

So to all you Obama acolytes and Eeyore ingenues…

Have a Coke and a smile.

The Freedom Train is coming through.

Definition of Insanity

While Obama was lying to us (again) about…(does it really matter what the subject is anymore), we found out Lois Lerner will not be prosecuted, Hillary “probably” broke the law according to a Republican Senator  (insert laughter here), and a pizza place in Indiana that has never done catering decided to not cater to someone because of their religious beliefs.

Sometimes this stuff just writes itself!

Okay!  I think we are all caught up on the absurdity known as today’s American political “leadership” and the American “media”.

Well…not quite.

Teachers in Georgia were convicted under the RICO act for changing grades of students for years to receive Federal funding and are looking at possibly decades in prison.  Didn’t hear too much about this anywhere…probably not important enough, you know that crazy stuff like education and what not, is just pure silliness.  I mean if you are changing all the students answers on tests it does make it quite a bit easier to not worry whether they are actually in class learning anything.

They’ll probably just fall back on the old stand by at their sentencing hearing.  “It’s George Bush’s fault your honor…he didn’t say they had to learn anything or even do their own work…he said ‘no child left behind’.”

As if the failings of “progressives” weren’t covered enough we heard an artful reset of Jimmy Carter’s “malaise” speech by none other than Governor Jerry Brown explaining that it’s just the way it is in California now people…the greenies have turned our state brown.  Yes I am paraphrasing but his “Wah Wah” Charlie Brown rhetoric about a shortage of water was a historic flashback to gas lines in the seventies when the Georgia Peanut tried to sell America on the New Normal…as in life will suck from this point on.

God bless these Democratic Politicians.  At least they are consistent.

What’s that Democratic supporters?  Republican politicians lie too?

Touche’ (that’s French).  Of course they do.  Now go find a Republican supporter to argue with and make yourself feel better.  You won’t find one here.

Regardless of the noise a very silent and deadly cancer continued to spread throughout our country as the debt increased, and although it won’t be reported anywhere, because what people do with pepperoni is so much more important, women and children were sold into slavery today through our wide open border.

The terminology is “human trafficking” but we all know it means rape, beatings, and sometimes murder all because the President of the United States will not close the border.

Something the last President didn’t do either.

Or the one before him…

Or the one before him…

And the one before him made legal everyone who was here illegally.

I’m sensing a pattern here.

We put a man on the moon but we can’t secure some land.

We defeated Nazism in Europe but are unable to build and enforce a fence line in America.

We’ve created nuclear submarines that are virtually undetectable and house human beings underwater for long periods of time but we cannot create a simple picket.

We are we sending food, money, supplies, and our military (using borrowed funds) all over the world but unwilling to protect our own citizens and way of life.

Why are Iraqi women and children more important than American women and children? Why is Iraqi land more important than American land?

Let me answer that for you.

They aren’t and it isn’t.

But here we are year after year, decade after decade, president after liar, with the same problems.

I received an email from none other than Ted Cruz.  Some of you may have received it too.  He wanted to tell me how much trouble we were in and the only way to address this was to send him money.  How droll.

I also received an email from none other than Barack Obama himself!  What a sweet guy!  With all that’s happening in the world he took a little time out and sent me an update on how we just struck a great deal with Iran!

Good job Mr. President!

I was really worried about how you were going to show your support for the Shiite Muslim population.  Mission Accomplished!

I know the Sunnis in Saudi Arabia aren’t going to be too happy never mind our ALLY in Israel but hey why should Israel care you just made a deal with a country who wants to blow them off the face of the map.

Pish posh Oh Great One.  Trivial matters at best right? Excellent work!  A quick question while I have you though.

What about the American kids in Chicago killing each other?

What’s that?  I can’t hear you…sounds like crickets.  Maybe our connection is poor.  Let me try again.

What about our debt that just moved closer to 20 trillion?

I’m sorry sir but I am not hearing anything on your end.  Must be the net neutrality kicking in.  I will try one last time.

What about the women and children that were just sold into slavery through our border?

What’s that?  You aren’t familiar with these things because you haven’t seen them on the nightly news? Good point fearless leader.  I haven’t seen them there either.

Have you heard about the water issue in California?  You have?  You just purchased a home in Southern California? Nice.  Probably really close to a lush green golf course huh?  Yeah that’s what I thought.  Well let me ask you this.  Why are we continuing to build thousands and thousands of houses when we don’t have enough water for the people here right now? That’s a State’s rights issue? I should ask Moonbeam…err…Jerry?  Okay thanks Mr. President.  Appreciate the info.

Hey before you go it just hit the wire that Iran is calling you a liar and we only created half of the jobs we thought we were going to get in the current employment numbers.  Is everything okay?  As long as you are rich everything will be fine?  What if we aren’t rich?  Better find a paddle?

Hmm…oh hang on a second Mr. President I just received another email from…Ted Cruz.

“I need your money if we are to save America.  Yep yep.  I’ll close that border if you just send me your money.”

Yep yep.  We’ve all heard that one before.

Are you ready for another option yet America?

One term.  No campaign contributions.  No salary.  Border closed.  Income tax removed.

The choice is yours.

Or we can just continue on with the insanity of it all.

Extra cheese anyone?
