Firing with both fists

Courage is not assertion without fear.

Courage is assertion in spite of fear and comes in many forms, shapes, and sizes.

I was reminded of this a few days ago while having a conversation.

The individual I was speaking with was making jokes after receiving yet another round of chemotherapy.  Because this person is incredibly private and humble, and would be embarrassed by my words, I will respect their wishes of privacy and not use their name.

Their life on the other hand is one to share.

You see this is the kind of person who creates safe spaces with his presence.

Children and dogs love him because they instinctively know they are secure and protected.

This is the kind of person who enlisted in the Army at seventeen and became a medic.

Always looking out for others.

He owned businesses, raised a family, loves his children, grandchildren, and of course his wife.  He’d give you the shirt off his back, the money from his pocket, and has done so time and time again.

Of course if he was reading this now he wouldn’t understand what all the fuss was about and would say something like, “This is what we are supposed to do.  I’m supposed to work hard.  I’m supposed to raise my children and nobody else better be loving my wife.  You know what I’m saying?”

Yes my fellow American I am picking up what you are putting down.

He’d tell you that he isn’t special (he is) rather he is lucky.  Lucky to be a citizen of the greatest country ever.  Lucky to have had 69 years (and counting) on this Earth.  He sees his exhaustion, nausea, dizziness, and pain as a good sign that the chemo is working.

Not one complaint, not one bitter word, not a scintilla of why me?

Although he doesn’t eat sugar, and his appetite has almost disappeared, he still makes birthday cakes for loved ones.

The reason I am telling this story is to show the strength of the human spirit.

The strength of one man unwilling to bend.

Unwilling to break.

When he was told he had cancer his first sentence was “Great. When can we start doing what needs to be done.”

In boxing terms he bit down on his mouthpiece and lunged forward firing with both fists.

Cancer has no idea but it doesn’t have a chance.

It picked the wrong guy.

We have our own cancer in America these days.  It’s called liberalism.  It has overtaken the Democratic Party and done a pretty good job infiltrating the Republican Party as well.

Standing in front of America is a 69 year old man whose body is being filled with drugs aimed at killing the cancer.

Dizzy, nauseous, and exhausted he stands at the ready to make sure we do “what needs to be done”.

He’s also a man filled with knowledge.

In other words he voted for Trump.

Shoulder to shoulder America.

It’s time to bite down on the mouthpiece and lunge forward.

Firing with both fists.

Protection or Politics

Neil Gorsuch had a real opportunity.

Senator Orrin Hatch, interestingly enough, walked the Supreme Court Nominee right into Marbury versus Madison.  Gorsuch could have spent a significant amount of time providing knowledge (assuming he had some) or at least both sides of the argument in the 1803 case.

Instead he punted with a weak comment about not wanting to re-litigate the most important case in American Jurisprudence.

Gorsuch later decided to announce that “we are stuck with them” once judges are approved.

Of course this is false and is yet another example of the difference between an “educated” person and one with knowledge.

Finally, he was asked a wide variety of questions, that an ethical person, would answer the same way every time.

He responded to some, parsed others, and then fell back on I cannot comment on specific cases when something came up he didn’t want to answer.

This is called pulling a James Comey.

I wish I could say I am still surprised by Boomer Politicians, Media, etc., but after thousands of stupid comments and actions the only thing that I am surprised by anymore is our willingness to believe them.

I can hear the questions now.

What about Trump, Jason? Do you still support him?

Absolutely.

I’ve stated many times that although I support Donald Trump I do not support the Republican or Democratic Parties.

Trump is the first “non-politician” to be elected President in my lifetime.

Is Trump making mistakes?

Yes, but they are mistakes of assertion and trust, not passivity or ethics.

He currently trusts Reince Priebus, Paul Ryan and apparently James Comey.  These are mistakes, and because of these mistakes, the swamp isn’t being drained.

Neil Gorsuch was chosen by the Republican Establishment, and just like the rest of us, I doubt Donald Trump had ever heard of him until recently.

Some will say Gorsuch is a conservative, a Constitutionalist.

I listened to the man.  He isn’t even close to a Constitutionalist.

Now I am not a conservative.  I am an American but it is my understanding to be a “social conservative” one must definitely be pro-life and probably against gay marriage.

Gorsuch stated under oath both of these issues are settled law and in case some haven’t been paying attention they aren’t “settled” to the satisfaction of social conservatives.

Gorsuch isn’t a conservative.

He is a “compassionate conservative”.

Just like George W. Bush.

In other words a liberal.

Just like John Roberts.

An enabler of corruption, who “interprets” the Constitution, to make it fit whatever case is in front of them, is guaranteed the “right” outcome.

Under John Roberts, forcing Americans to purchase a product or financially penalize them through the Internal Revenue Service, was “constitutional”.

It is well past time to stop using attorneys/judges to fill our courts.  Constitutionally it is not a requirement.

Morally we cannot afford it anymore.

In roughly the same news cycle a young woman who has been called a “right-wing firebrand conservative” was asked a question about abortion.  She shocked many when she said she was for limited government and part of limited government was not having them in her home, her guns, or her body.

Tomi Lahren didn’t duck, parse, or ignore the question.  Furthermore she was consistent with her beliefs.  Limited government means limited government in all fashions on all subjects.

She was ripped by some in the “conservative” crowd and suspended from her job by her boss who among other things is a Never Trumper.

Now, Glenn Beck has every right as an employer to “suspend” Lahren for her comments, and depending upon how her contract is written, every right to fire her if he so desires.  I doubt he will, as Ms. Lahren, has passed Mr. Beck in the ratings department.

The reason I have paired these two items together is to show how one subject, abortion, is allowing the security of our country to weaken daily.

Advocates on both sides have stated many times in public, and even to me personally, that the protection of the unborn or the protection of a woman’s right to choose, is their number one issue.

More important than failing economic and legal systems that are causing the deaths of Americans daily.

More important than human trafficking that allows slavery to continue.

More important than National Security.

Because of this one issue, liberals have just enough “one issue supporters” to allow decades of criminality to not only “creep” in but overwhelm our schools, jails, prisons, hospitals, and social programs through amnesty and amnesty related programs like DACA.

Two potential DACA recipients were just picked up in a “sanctuary city” in Maryland for raping a fourteen year old girl at school.

Sadly it’s time to admit the truth.

We aren’t protecting anyone.

Born or not.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

In fact for America to survive and thrive it can’t be this way anymore.

“Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me”.

Shoulder to shoulder.

Let the walk begin.

BernieBots march blindly to their own demise

As many of you know Late Bird was written in 2013, published in 2014, and with that opened the door for me to travel around the country. The premise was simple. We needed an American to be elected as the next President of the United States.

In novel form I wrote a story about my life and envisioned a pathway to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

As time unfolded and my opportunity to fulfill the story of Falcon Sane (at least in 2016) lessened, I turned my attention to one of the two U.S. Senate seats in California. Just like in Late Bird I refused campaign contributions, funded my “run” with my own money and stated if elected I would only serve for one term.

The burgeoning economic disaster known as the Sanctuary State decided to continue down the path of insolvency and lawlessness and elected a human who supports BLM, CAIR, and La Raza while acting as though money grows on trees and should be spent on trains not dams.

True story.

However, before too many California voters decided to cut off their noses to spite their own faces, I received lots of questions.

One phone call came in from a respectful twenty something male who said he’d enjoyed what he had read about me. After about five minutes of a quality back and forth he said he believed me (thanks), found me easy to discuss topics with and was willing to vote for me.

He then told me he was feeling the “Bern” and asked if I supported Bernie.

I told him no. I didn’t support the Colonel.

“You’ve answered all of my questions. You seem to know what you are talking about (again thanks), why don’t you support Bernie. He is the only one who really understands our problems.”

There was more about Bernie not being a career politician, caring about equality, and free health care for all.

Of course none of those things were true, or economically viable with the nutritional and drug habits of too many humans in America these days, but I didn’t bother to walk down that road.

Part of communication is understanding with whom you are speaking.

Clinton admirers, Bill or Hillary, will never care about monogamy, uranium, or the truth. Speaking with them at all is a measurement of stupidity.

George W. Bush apologists will never care about debt, stimulus checks, or the truth. Speaking with them at all is a waste of time for ethical people.

Barack Obama sycophants will never care about America or the Rule of Law. Speaking with them requires monosyllabic verbiage and the constant usage of “um” or “uh”. Furthermore doing so would be moot as they are deaf to reality and mute on the truth.

Of course the BernieBots have some of the same bleating characteristics listed above (America should be more like Sweden) but a large portion of them are just young inexperienced kids who knew they couldn’t support Hillary (well done) but didn’t have any adults in their lives who could walk them through the death spiral of oppression, otherwise known as liberalism.

I knew I couldn’t get into a debate with this person because emotions aren’t debatable. I simply stated Bernie Sanders believes that men, while masturbating, fantasize about physically and sexually abusing women, and that women, while having sex with their spouses or boyfriends, fantasize about being raped simultaneously by three men.

These are the thoughts of a criminally disturbed abuser, easy to find on Google, and someone I could never support.

He was quiet for a second and then said he’d think about what I said. I wished him well and told him to keep my number just in case he had any more questions.

As stated earlier I wasn’t elected and I never heard from the kid again but the Sanders parade of perversion continues.

Under the guise of gender neutrality and bathroom access for all, the Colonel continues to line his pockets at the expense of others. While he espouses Guevara and Castro rhetoric, wrapped in Swedish socialistic fantasies, the Swedes have made some moves of their own.

According to reports the Swedish government is starting to worry about the heavy breathing of Vladimir Putin. The same Putin Obama promised to provide “flexibility” to, and also oversaw the sale of uranium, while drawing a red line in Syria which only reinforced the yellow streak running vertically from his neck to his tailbone.

The same Putin who wants to put the USSR back together again. Yes that would be the Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics.

The socialistic fantasy of Sweden, that Bernie has been selling the kids and ignorant Boomers, has decided that Putin is becoming too much of a threat for them to ignore anymore. This is striking as they are still ignoring Islam but maybe they prefer Sharia over Sanders.

Nevertheless the “equality” Bernie has promised his followers, that Sweden’s type of government will provide, is coming true.

The Swedes just reinstated their military draft and they are being gender specific.

They want both.

Time to lace up those combat boots BernieBots and join your Swedish socialist brothers and sisters.

Your dream of “equality” just forced a rifle into the hands of your sister and your girlfriend, while Sanders fantasizes about them all, as one “socialist State” prepares to fight another.

Don’t worry about the “Democratic Socialists” here in America though.

When it’s all said and done, Sharia will still be around, to welcome all you Infidels home.

The Ninth Circuit is making sure of that.

Security starts at home

Decades ago I hired a friend of one of my employees. The corporation I worked for wanted growth and to grow more bodies were needed. The new hire was average at best but again the company wanted growth so I stuck with him. One morning it was brought to my attention the aforementioned employee threw a temper tantrum and punched a hole through a wall in our conference room.

I took a look at the hole, found the guy, fired him immediately and escorted him to his car.

I didn’t try to analyze him. I didn’t try to understand his problem. I didn’t offer him multiple solutions to whatever his issue was.

He’d created a situation that required a response.

His behavior put the safety of the other employees, our customer base, and the business in general, at risk.

My response was swift and enforced the “law”.

To his credit he realized his mistake and left without further incident.

The overwhelming majority of my employees were thrilled with my decision as order had been immediately restored and the few who weren’t knew if they broke the “law” they would also lose their jobs.

The need for “security” by the human animal is only superseded by water, food, and shelter.

Currently “security” is something humans across the planet do not feel they have because of one particular issue.

Mass migration.

Brexit wasn’t about leaving the EU. Brexit was about stopping the massive migration of Islam into the United Kingdom.

Donald Trump wasn’t elected because he is a genius contractor worth billions.

Trump was elected to stop the massive migration of humans coming from Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, China, and any country that practices Sharia Law.

Security.

For those of you who doubt this we only have to return to the early Primaries of the Republican Party. Trump was in the bottom half, when he said on the stage for all to hear, that he would build a great wall and start removing humans here illegally.

Then candidate Trump went from the last half of the pack to the Leader and never looked back.

Security, Security, Security.

Abraham Maslow did us a tremendous service when he articulated the primary needs of the human animal.

As I have covered many times that the Human Animal and Human Being are two completely different things I won’t do so today.

The Progressive-Democratic-Socialist-La Raza-BLM-CAIR Party has just elected a new leader who believes in “The Race” and the eventual overthrow of a portion of the United States through…massive migration from Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras.

An open border concept until La Raza has enough of “The Race” to remove the United States Constitution.

Sounds crazy huh?

What’s crazy is it has been happening for decades and Reagan, both Bushes, Clinton, and Obama have embraced it with both hands with massive amnesties, financial, medical, and educational support.

How is America paid back?

By the Mexican Central Bank reporting that almost 25 BILLION American Dollars left the United States in 2016 to land in their institutions and has been happening for years.

In other words incredible wealth is LEAVING our economy to be spent in a country that is not only a failed State but openly traffics in humans, narcotics, weapons and is controlled by drug cartels.

Yes, we are funding our own demise.

For many, that 25 BILLION number, looks oddly familiar.  There is a reason for that.

That number is reportedly what it would take to build the Wall.

So if we stop providing water, food, shelter, education, legal representation and employment for illegals (who are removing the circulation of money inside the United States) and employ Americans we will easily have more than enough to enforce the law and secure the country in less than one year.

Sounds so easy doesn’t it?

It is.

In fact we have a phrase for this.

It’s called enforcing the law.

For those in Local, State, or Federal government who will not uphold their oaths indictments must occur.

Immediately.

Russia! Russia! Russia!

When did the Democratic Party become Jan Brady?

Then again being a fictitious middle sister is dramatically better than factually being a part of La Raza, CAIR, BLM, or the Nation of Islam.

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

The same Black Lives Matter that called for cops to be fried like bacon and then murdered law enforcement in the streets.

The same Council of American Islamic Relations that supports Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.

The same La Raza that believes they are “The Race”.

Talk about the most Anti-American quadratic equation ever.

Can anyone say Keith Ellison?

It appears the Democratic Party might.

I can hear it now.

Nancy Pelosi, she of the Hamas is a Humanitarian Organization belief, will stand and say,”We are pleased to introduce the new head of the Muslim Brotherhood, err the DNC, Brother Keith Ellison. I’ve been told to say As-salamu alaykum, so I will, although I’ll have to read the Quran later or Google Snopes to know exactly what I just said.  So congrats Brother Ellison and Allah Akbar!”

I digress.

Jerry Brown is a greater danger to Democrats (and Humans) in California than Vladimir Putin.

Kamala Harris is a greater hazard to Democrats (and Humans) in California than Vladimir Putin.

The release of convicted felons (with the approval of Brown, Pelosi, and Harris) happening in California every day due to “overcrowding” is a greater risk to Democrats (and Humans) in California than Bad Vlad yet it’s the Brady Bunch twenty-four seven.

Should we tell them again?  Do you think they will get it this time?

Maybe we should sit the Dems down with an “edible” to soothe their frayed nerves.

After a few bites of high fructose corn syrup, genetically modified wheat, and just enough synthetic mary jane to reportedly send an NFL defensive end crawling on the ground naked at a police station, the Dems may finally be ready to hear the truth.

Nope not yet.

We just lost them on “synthetic” because “real weed is the shnizzle my dizzle” and cures all diseases and problems in the world.

“You know Jason, marijuana comes from the ground.”

Yes I know.

So does the Poppy.

Natural Gas “comes from the ground” too but you don’t see me breathing deeply around Public Transportation busses awaiting existential thoughts.

Let us try anyway.

Here we go.

Hush now Dems.  We want you to concentrate.  Even though some of this info was around before Jesus and then reintroduced and honed by Jefferson, Madison et al, it appears you guys are slow learners.

Democracy leads to Tyranny.

The United States is not a Democracy.

Okay hold up a minute.  Put down the bong.  I know this can be tough on the Sixties/Snowflake lifestyle so let me try again in a slightly different manner.

The United States is not a Democracy.

Democracy leads to Tyranny.

Whoa Whoa WHOA!!! Safe spaces safe spaces! Someone get a safety pin! That’s totally different Jason!  You can’t be moving things around!  My Snapchat account won’t allow that! By the way that’s not what our teachers are saying. Our teachers say we are a Democracy.  Not really sure what that means but I KNOW that’s what we are.

Yes I know you’ve been told this for decades.  Don’t feel bad.  We’ve all been fed garbage for a while like cigarettes are good for us and margarine is healthier than butter.  Type-Two Diabetes went from a disease to a manageable lifestyle.  High cholesterol, heart attacks and strokes aren’t caused by our choices anymore.  Obesity is now plus size not to mention it isn’t your fault for slamming a half dozen sodas a day and living on AM/PM corn dogs.

It’s all hereditary.

Just blame your “rents” and stay on their medical insurance as long as you can.

Here’s your pill and your sign.

Jason! Jason! Jason!

Yes Jan?

Well Mr. Smart Guy, Mr. Know it all, Mr. Bald privileged white guy with “high cheekbones” who doesn’t do drugs, rarely drinks, and writes incredibly entertaining columns free for all to read….

(Sound of a deep breath.  Could be an inhaler.  Probably not, followed by a hacking cough and then a hand reaching for a brownie).

Yes Jan?

Sorry Mr Smart Guy, Mr. Socratic Theory! Mr. Adam Smith! Mr. James Madison! Mr. I cannot focus on what you are saying because of your striking Elizabeth Warren cheekbones….

(Gulp of a Starbucks Frappuchino followed by a quick selfie of a new piercing (insert body part here) and a quick tweet about Global Warming).

Sorry Mr. Abraham Maslow!  If you are so smart then tell me what is the United States of America?

Well first Jan it is shaved not bald and secondly we are a Constitutional Republic.

What’s that?

I thought you’d never ask.

One day in high school I was informed that someone I was already not a fan of made a derogatory comment about me and my family. The next day I found the individual in the hallway between classes and asked if they indeed did say this.

Let’s just say it was more of a statement than a question in the way that if the answer was yes I was going to have a very physical reaction.

“Whoa whoa whoa Jay just wait a minute,” came the response.

The individual in front of me backed up a step as I took one forward.  Their fear was very clear.  I’ve never understood humans who choose to run their mouths and then won’t fight.

Eventually someone is going to call their bluff.

For this individual the time was happening now.  His fear lessened my anger a bit allowing compassion to creep in.

That compassion almost cost me big time later in life.

A story for another time.

I gave him an option.  Apologize or sow what you have reaped.  It wasn’t as smooth as that.  Most of it was profane.  He readily accepted the option and made his amends.

I was reminded of this story as I thought about what is happening in our country.

How many warnings do we have to give before the only option left is one no one wants yet is the only option left?

The debt grows everyday.  Our “justice system” is so absurd Executive Orders are now being illegally struck down.  Cops are still dying.  Humans in black masks and attire are hitting people with sticks.  Anti-American men and women are calling for a Civil War.

I’m always struck by the absurdity of using the terms Civil and War together.

“War! What is it good for?” Absolutely nothing!”

I’d “say it again” but those that need to hear it won’t.

Those that have seen War didn’t need to hear it the first time.

Yet here we are.

The United States has been at War for almost two decades with no end in sight. We now have the aforementioned America haters rioting, looting, and abusing others.

Our systems are all under control of “bureaucrats” whom are protected by Public Unions and Politicians that protect illegal entry and overt criminality all over the nation.

California has been hit with rain, mudslides, and now the evacuation of almost 200,000 citizens from Oroville and surrounding towns as the second largest man made reservoir/dam in the State is suffering from “erosion”.

Erosion in California is defined as the Democratic Party ignoring decade old warnings about everything.

Pretty soon CalPERS will be called erosion.

Jerry Brown and the Democrats (still talking about drought while having money for Sanctuary Cities and Bullet Trains but cannot rebuild the worst roads in the country) have allowed the most important infrastructure in the State (water) to literally crumble.

Then again do they have the money?

Brown and the Democrats have now sent a request to the Federal Government for “emergency funds”.  The same Democrats that have called Trump a lying, bigoted, racist, homophobic misogynist.  The same Liberals that blocked a LEGAL order to keep humans from countries that harbor, foment, or create terrorism, out.  The same Liberals that are ranting about war and the Impeachment of Trump.

Barely a month in and we are hearing WAR and IMPEACHMENT.

The question AMERICANS are having across our country is how much more?  How much more are we willing to take?

What needs to happen before we leave our homes, our streets, our towns, cities, and States?

Where do we go to deal with the degradation and disease that is strangling our way of life?

I’ve looked at this from every angle I can imagine and contemplated the probability of a wide variety of possibilities.

The only scenario that appears on the list is Congress trying to Impeach, Convict, and Remove President Trump.

If this scenario ever hits the House of Representatives that will be the time.

The time for Idaho Farmers, Nebraska Cornhuskers, and Wyoming Cowboys.

The time for Michigan Autoworkers, West Virginia Coal Miners, and Texas Rangers.

The time for those known as Deputy, as Officer, and those known as Citizen.

The time for those known as Veteran.

It will be the time for those known as American to come together in Washington D.C.

“The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood.”

Sadly it appears the arena is being created.

In this particular time in the world, the credit will not matter, but those in the arena certainly will.

I hope and pray this day doesn’t happen but this is far as it goes.

The removal of Trump is a continuance of the nightmare from which we awakened back in November.

We can never allow that to happen.

As a now deceased “poet” once stated:

“If you don’t know now you know.”

Ninth Circuit Circus

With all the insanity and illegality happening in the courts these days I thought it pertinent to again cover how our system works and doesn’t work. The idea of Democracy is to serve the majority which eventually leads to Tyranny.

This is the culmination of Socratic Theory.

A Republic or in our case a Constitutional Republic is meant to protect very specific Rights of the Individual. Specific Rights stated in our Constitution not the collective rantings of Norway, China, or Saudi Arabia. Pretty soon the Colonel Sanders crowd will be calling themselves Sharia Socialists and telling us all how Stalin and Mao were misunderstood.

Health care, health insurance, education, or lack thereof are not Rights regardless of what anyone thinks.

Yes portions of Democracy were kept in the creation of a Republic but Madison & Company were very clear.

These United States are not a Democracy.

Article 4. Section 4.

We are the evolution of Democratic tendencies (group think), into the Protection of again, the Individual.  This was suppose to stop the train from derailing into Tyranny.  Of course too many in America have no concept of this process including our politicians. Yes we are a measurement of our elected “leadership” and yes that is currently a very sad statement.

Generation after generation we have been told that our Republic has three co-equal branches of government. Most have no idea where this concept originated but they are more than willing to continue to repeat it.

This is Aristotle’s model, later built on by Montesquieu.

Both Madison and Jefferson knew this was behaviorally incorrect and Madison specifically went about securing a system that protected I over We. As I’ve written in the past Congress was meant to have most of the authority. Many will refer to this as the power of the purse. This is partially correct.

The reason we know Congress was meant to have more authority over the other branches is very clear.

The Power of Impeachment, Conviction and Removal resides in the House and Senate.

This is legislative not criminal authority and expressly allows Congress to remove the President and members of the Federal Judiciary.

Neither the Judiciary or Executive Branches have this authority over Congress.

We weren’t meant to be ruled by a tiny group of judges (oligarchy) or a King (monarchy).

We weren’t meant to be ruled at all.

The power resides in the House, the system closest to the People, to impeach.

The authority then moves to the Senate, the “deliberative” body, for conviction and removal.

The Framers even built in a check and balance within Congress.

Thankfully they did as Jefferson’s concern of “despots” ruling America has risen to dangerous levels.

Our last three Presidents should have all been impeached, convicted, and removed.

Clinton was impeached but not convicted and removed.

Because they weren’t, our courts are filled with horrendous appointees, who believe they are untouchable.

They aren’t.

It’s time to replace the Ninth Circuit who among other things completely ignored the rule of “standing”.

Of even greater need is the removal and replacement of the Supreme Court.

John Roberts is a great place to start.

The removal of Sotomayor and Kagan is an even better ending.

The Conundrum of CalExit

 
Leave a comment

I was twenty-one and talking in the kitchen with a married couple from whom I’d just rented a room. This was necessary as I had  transferred to a California State University to finish my baseball career and graduate.  As it’d been a long day I decided to call it a night.  Barely into my room I heard a large roar outside my window.  Looking out I couldn’t see anything as the roar continued to dissipate and then return.

I exited my room and headed to the front door where I stepped outside just in time to see a police helicopter almost skim the roof of the two story apartment complex while yelling over the loudspeaker to “return to your homes”.

This seemed to go on for a while before gun shots rang out.

A little later police knocked on the door and asked me if I’d heard anything.  I told them about the helicopter and the gunshots.  They said thank you and moved to the rest of the apartments.

It was 1992 and my first night in San Bernardino California.

Yep the same San Berdu (as it was referred to by the locals) that was struck by terrorists decades later.

Now to be accurate (not interested in fair) I enjoyed my time at California State University San Bernardino.  The campus was nice, many of my professors were excellent, my coach was a dream to play for, and I was introduced to Socrates, John Locke, Abraham Maslow and the Gambler’s Fallacy.

Continuing the accuracy requires me to say my apartment complex was nice enough and walking distance to the school.  The rest of San Bernardino was like most cities in Southern California’s inland empire.

Packed housing structures and businesses, crowded streets and highways, with just enough graffiti, trash, and crime to signify gang presence.

In other words a hole.

25 years later.  Things haven’t improved.  Sadly this is a microcosm of what was once the Great State of California and brings me to my point.

Over the last month I’ve received questions or comments from all over America asking about the infamous CalExit.

Freedom loving Americans see what appears to be roving gangs of Democrats marauding through the streets screaming to take the REPUBLIC of California and leave the most famous REPUBLIC in the world.

It is here that irony writes itself.

I’m not sure which is of greater absurdity.  Democrats living in Republics or legal aged adults who believed Bernie Sanders was going to provide them all free healthcare and college.

CNN covered CalExit like it was the Battle of the Bulge ( who knew CNN could cover something other than missing planes and whatever Hillary told them to) and attempted to capture the moment by asking a guy, who’d spent too much time eating fast food, his opinion.

It might have been entertaining to hear however his 50 yard walk was more than his lungs could bear.

I wonder if the Democrats are giving out free exercise too.

If you are sensing a bit of amusement emanating on the page you would be correct.

California is going to leave the United States?

Nope.

The many legal and procedural hoops that would have to be attained for any State to leave is overwhelming.

Because of this I am not going to even bother walking down that road.

I am going to keep this short and sweet.

First it is called Secession Liberals.

Not Succession.

The last time the act of secession was attempted it ended badly in Sherman’s March.  The War Between the States was the most brutal war in American History.  The United States was split down the middle.  Brothers against brothers.

This was a hard time lived by even harder people on both sides.

The Walking Dead in California known as Liberals are not hard people.

They are a collection of participation trophy recipients strung out on dope and cloves whom are so laughably recognizable Jack in the Box created commercials about their incessant two a.m. taco runs.

I doubt a majority of them can spell California let alone EXIT.

Abraham Maslow is shaking his head while Socrates is nodding and saying, “I warned you about Democracy”.

Yes you did.

Any attempt by “Californians” to break away from the U.S. would be met with force.

I was born and raised in California.  I’ve competed, been educated, and served in Law Enforcement in California.

With all that said my Pledge of Allegiance is to the United States of America.

I am an AMERICAN.

If a bunch of drugged out Timothy Leary followers want to join hands with CAIR and La Raza have at it.

It will be the shortest lived attempt at “Succession” in human history.

There are plenty of Americans just like me all over California, especially Northern.

If for some reason the Jack in the Box crew et al isn’t dealt with in 48 hours I’m sure there is plenty of help all across this country more than willing to drive the one celled amoebas back into the Pacific Ocean.

We can call it community outreach and climate repair.

I can just see it now.

Lighters, bongs, and Che Guevara T-shirts all waving over their heads in surrender, like the worst participation trophies ever, while huddled in each others arms clamoring for safety pins and safer spaces.

Okay let us return from fantasy land and give you the real reason California will never secede.

The Democratic Party would never allow it.

Without California the Party of Tyranny would cease to exist.

All of a sudden California secession doesn’t sound so bad to everyone NOT in California.

Don’t ya just love the smell of a good conundrum in the morning?

Dear President Trump

Dear President Trump,

Finally the day has arrived.

The United States will remove a community organizer and replace him with you.

A Billionaire.

A man who once boasted of drug and alcohol usage while telling children marijuana is the same as drinking beer is being replaced by you.

A man who has reportedly never done drugs or consumed alcohol and believes marijuana is a detriment to society.

We are replacing a man who encouraged illegals to vote, against us, with you.

A man who has guaranteed a “beautiful wall” and the removal of all humans here illegally in America.

We are replacing red lines, insurance lies, and leading from behind, with you.

A man who has created wealth, promised to repeal the ACA, and understands leaders are found at the front.

You once stated that our military needs a Patton.

While this may be true, more importantly, a Patton is needed at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

We need you to understand that your Army is us, the American People, and we are ready to go to work!

We need you to understand that we are done playing defense.  We are done with both political parties.  We are done with the lies.

We aren’t interested in Hope and Change now known as Nope and Deranged.

We expect results and as such you were hired.

Don’t bother with the Press.  The old way of moving information is over.

Your Twitter account is more powerful than all the newspapers combined.

It’s time for you to understand the Power of the Pen, and to elevate thousands of American voices and writers, who not only are defending you, but put you in your current position.

Through Twitter and Facebook America has been pushing the pen in hopes of keeping the sword in the scabbard.

You have a very real opportunity now to elevate such voices and allow us to deal with the traitors and liars.

There are plenty of things that need doing.

Debt restructuring (Ross), Military rebuilding (Mattis), and Common Core removal (DeVos) are absolutes that will take a little time.

This we understand.

You were overwhelmingly elected on two issues.

Border security and the repeal of Obamacare.

In that order.

Both of these things can and must happen in your first thirty days “on schedule and under budget”.

This will set the tone in the reclamation and restoration of the greatest country in the history of man.

There will be times in the next year where your position as President may get very lonely.

Never forget we are here as your greatest asset and ultimately your only firewall.

Free the People.

We will take care of the rest.

God has blessed you in many ways Donald J. Trump.

None greater than the privilege of being an American.

To whom much is given much is expected.

We have great expectations of you and for you.

Congratulations President Trump.

The future is now.

NOW.
