What we've got here is failure to communicate

 

The title of this blog come directly from the song by Guns and Roses called Civil War, hence the graphic here.  In a lot of my blogs I have talked about the events happening in America the last three years that are leading us directly to the next civil war.  Lines are being drawn and citizens are being divided on every single thing.  In this blog I wanted to look at what the "elite" are doing to maintain their power and grip on everyday Americans.

Lets take this all the way back to 2020.  In 2020 we saw the rise of Covid-19.  The government made the decision to lock everyone down who they didn't deem "essential." So who did they choose to remain open, big corporations, chain restaurants, weed shops, and liquor stores.  The local small to mid-size businesses were forced to shudder their doors and stop paying employees.  I thought for many months why they did that.  The conclusion I came to was the ones left open either donated to the political campaigns, were friends of the "elites" or it was a business which would aid in the destruction of people. Companies like Wal-Mart and Amazon made billions of dollars during the 2-year lock down period.  More and more Americans developed mental health issues and addiction due to the access of the "essential" businesses.  Suicide and domestic violence rates skyrocketed. This led to the idea there was a bigger plan in place.  During this same time, we saw a massive movement known as BLM.  This movement started as protests against police violence against black people.  What happened very quickly was these "peaceful" protests devolved into violent arson and attacks against white people and police officers.  We saw entire blocks of Seattle taken over by warlords and had zero ability to provide medical care or safety for citizens in that area.  That failed quickly as expected and eventually it was restored to sanity.  The racial division was radicalized by mainstream media and glorified by the same politician who pushed the lockdowns.  That went on for months and what was the end result?  Police officers being attacked and killed, minority businesses being burned to the ground, and minority communities left in ruins.  Were the elites hurt by this? No.  The people most affected were the ones those same elites encouraged to commit the violence.  This was their way of dividing us further.

After the racial divide was present the next move was to pit the vaxxed and un-vaxxed against one another.  We saw people on both sides being attacked verbally and physically for choosing to wear a mask or not.  We heard calls from leaders and media that people needed to report their neighbors if they didn't follow mask mandates to local authorities for "reeducation." We have seen the same kinds of "reeducation" happening in China with the Uyghur population and also in Nazi Germany.  The tools used by dictators and communists alike is reeducation of the masses or death.  Is that really what we want to become?  This divide crossed into Patriots vs the left.  Patriotic Americans were labeled racist and white nationalist.  It became a case of us vs them.  In the end we saw even further division of Americans.  The difference with this attempt was most Patriotic Americans are gun advocates and will not let the removal of liberties stand.  So how could the "elites" get what they want in removal of guns from these Americans? The solution is something we see to this day, glorify mass shootings and use the weapons the a-holes use against the people to push for gun control.  At first the method was to claim any AR-15 was an assault weapon or weapon of war.  The pushback was educating people of the weapons and how it was a semi-automatic meaning one trigger pull, one shot. Not the fully automatic death machines the media throws on the news nightly.

And finally, this week we saw the House of Representatives hold a committee hearing to address Hunter Biden taking money from foreign governments.  In this hearing the Republicans were asking FBI whistleblower pertinent questions about the investigation. When it was the Democrats turn each and every one of them called out Donald Trump, injustice against minorities and other far left talking points. None of what they talked about had anything to do with the matter being discussed.  Then the next hearing was about censorship in social media.  The first witness was Democratic Senator Robert Kennedy Jr.  He was called to the hearing to discuss his own social media accounts being throttled and censored. As he began to speak the representative from the Virgin Islands immediately spoke over him and refused to let him talk.  She continued to the point of the leader of the committee telling her to stop censoring his speech and let him talk!  After the hearing all of the Democrats said the same lines to media question.  They said things like "He was free to say whatever he wanted, wherever he wanted, except in this chamber" or "We were not going to let him spread misinformation" and "He was spreading lies in committee." So what do these two things have in common?  They both involve high level government officials being involved in FBI matters and censorship of opposing views.  We have also seen this with former President Trump.  The left is still committed to putting him in jail, silencing his voice and preventing him from ever winning the Presidency again.  

To conclude this blog I want to compare what I have discussed with things like Nazi Germany, Pol pot, and other communist/socialist leaders.  In each and every case the format was the same.  Divide the populace into an us vs them scenario, remove the citizens ability to defend themselves, have citizen turn in their family and friend for "disobedience" and finally remove the rights of free people to vote for their leaders. This is when a civil and free society fails to exist.  We have seen the pattern repeat throughout history and it never ends well.  I fully believe it is the left and liberals plan to make America another third world dictatorship and drive us into poverty.  That way they will be the only ones with wealth and food.  When this begins to happen, I also fully believe that the Patriotic Americans will once again rise up and say no to the tyrannical takeover of the greatest country ever in the history of the world!

The Supreme Courts Recent Decisions

 In the past few weeks the Supreme court has been on a roll making decisions on cases brought before them.  Most notably were their ruling on affirmative action, student loans and "gay rights."  So lets take them each individually!

The case involving "gay rights" was about a web designer refusing to create a website for a gay couples wedding.  The case was simple, the designer's 1st amendment right to refuse service vs "discrimination" based on sexual orientation.  So much like the baker from years ago who refused to make a cake for a gay wedding this lawsuit is utterly ridiculous.  The couple asked for a website to be created and the designer refused, enough said.  The designer has a constitutionally protected right under the 1st amendment to refuse service for any reason.  This is in the Constitution and as this court has shown they fall on the black and white of the document. There are zero "rights" heterosexual couples have that gay couples do not.  That same designer could refuse to make a website for a straight couple and I would be fine with that also.  In the end the couple could have simply gone to another website creator and gotten their site made.  They also could have put out a negative review, told family and friends to not patronize the business, etc.  This lawsuit was frivolous, and the 6-3 ruling was the right ruling.

 The next case was about cancelling student loan debt.  In another 6-3 decision they ruled the Biden administration did not have the legal standing to cancel the student loans.  This is another one they got 100% correct.  The House of Representatives is the only government body with the "power of the purse", meaning they are the only ones who can authorize matters of money and finance in the government.  My personal view is that the loans were taking out by an individual to benefit them.  Much like car loans, mortgages, etc. these people voluntarily signed up for and took the loans while agreeing to pay them back.  It is simple contract law.  I did not take the loans and my taxes should not go to pay them back.  Do I think the colleges charge way too much for degrees that people cannot find work in?  Absolutely, but once again these students chose the degree and agreed to pay the loans back.  If they chose not to get a degree in a field which had a good employment rate that is no one's fault but their own.

And finally in a 6-3 ruling the court rules that race-conscious admissions policies at Harvard and UNC were unlawful.  I agree entirely.  A college admission should be dependent on a lot of factors but one that should not be on the list is your race or skin color.  People should meet the academic standard for admissions, period.  Rather than put policies in place at the collegiate level that grant privilege to students of color we should look at improving their education at lower levels and improve them from the early years of education.  But as we have seen even the lower level schools are more concerned with pushing far left ideas of inequity and not teaching what students need to know to pass the SAT or college entrance exams.  They are teaching students in these "underprivileged" communities that without a handout they are too stupid to make it.  I heard a pundit the other day say "Without race-based policies for admission black students would not qualify for entrance into these Universities." So to clarify what he was saying was "Without getting accepted because you are black, you are too dumb to get in on your merits." That to me sounds racist as hell!  Much like when our President said "Poor kids are just as bright as white kids" the left and Democrats continue to talk down to black Americans.  They continue to convince them they are stupid and start life with systemic blocks that white kids do not, that is 100% false.  No matter what someone's race there are barriers they must overcome to succeed.  Rep Tim Scott was on the view and was discussing this issue.  His position is that black kids should look at successful black Americans as the standard not the exception to the rule, he is right.  Telling any child they will never get ahead on hard work and effort does nothing but create entitled assholes who think they need to be "given" a good life, not earn it.  Affirmative action has done more harm than good for African Americans.  

So what have we learned from the court in recent years?  For me it is the fact they are majority constitutionalist.  Meaning they go by the letter of the document and do not interpret the "grey area" in its words.  When Trump nominated the three justices, we were all told they would tow the Trump line and our country would be worse off.  The truth is they rule via the words of the document, not their interpretation and in most cases did not fall in line with Trump or his views.  They have clarified there is no Constitutional right to abortion, gay issues, student loan relief or more restrictive gun laws.  All of these rely on the direct words of the Constitution and that is the way it should be!

Juneteenth and Reparations

 Yesterday was Juneteenth.  For those who may not know what exactly that is here is a little history for you.  After Lincoln freed the slaves in the United States it took many months for the world to get to all states and cities. On June 19, 1865 Union troops arrived in Galveston Bay, TX.  The Army announced that the 250,000 enslaved black people in the state had been freed by executive decree.  This day became known as Juneteenth by the newly freed people in Texas. In 2021 Congress passed a bill and it was signed into law making Juneteenth a national holiday. 

While I feel this is an event that should be recognized and maybe even had been made a national holiday, this year I found myself irritated by all the virtue signaling I saw and heard.  In recent history June has become a month where we are flooded with LGBTQIA+ propaganda and the past two years one of the days become a huge flood of praising the black community for something that was done for them not by them. For me it would be similar to praising your white friends on the 4th of July for our freedoms.  But on the 4th we don't do that, we celebrate as Americans. I have never once seen a social media post saying "Happy 4th of July to my white friends!" but yesterday I saw multiple posts from people saying "Happy Juneteenth to all my black friends!" It is ridiculous that a day people gained freedom has been turned into another virtue signaling opportunity.  Much like the BLM or Ukraine support profile pictures this day is becoming another opportunity to signal your virtue and "support." But support of what exactly?  I think the day should be celebrated the same way we celebrate the 4th of July, Freedom is something to be praised, not individual racial groups.

The other big news in the black community is reparations.  California has a group called the "California Reparations Task Force", a group who spent time and government money to figure out how much money was appropriate as reparations in a state which never had actual slavery. So who do they feel is eligible?  Black Californians who are decedents of slaves (But how do they prove it?).  They recommend $1,200,000 per black Californian, yes 1.2 million dollars per black person in California or $800 billion dollars total, more than California's GDP.  How will they pay this?  Taxes on everything!  So why are Asians, Irish and other races who were slaves left out?  That answer is simple, this movement is another virtue signal and attempt to secure a voter base.  

This push came at a time where the Democratic party has seen black people leaving their party in droves.  The black community is starting to see that the Democrats and left do not have their best interest in mind.  From my experience the conservative movement is more aligned with the larger black community, not the extremists.  Black families believe in faith, traditional male/female roles, raising kids with good moral and values, anti-abortion, anti-lgbtqia and working hard to succeed in America.  As with most people in America, not the far left or right, most of us just want to live our lives and be successful.  But what we see in the media is the extremes and that makes those in the middle feel like they are alone in their beliefs.  Most Americans hold the same beliefs and our media and government push division because it sells or gets them elected.  We are all American.  Most Americans do not define themselves by race first.  

We have seen in the past few months a huge pushback against the LGBTQIA+ agenda, racial division and the trans movements.  These fringe movements are being rejected whole cloth.  People are starting to fight back and I love it!  We need to stand for equality, unity and what is morally correct or we will find our country lost to these fringe groups.  As I have stated more than once we are a good people overall.  All of us want freedom and success.  All of us want our kids safe.  All of us want to be able to afford to live and have the things we want.  So take this day to do something nice for someone because you can!  We need to unite and stay united in order for our country to continue to be the beacon of freedom that brings people from around the world to our doors wanting the American Dream.  We can do this and we can stay free!

USA, Third World Country

 The United States is a unique experiment in politics.  Our founding fathers created a melting pot for all nations and peoples to have freedom.  Through the years and election cycles we have seen mudslinging, attack ads and everything imaginable to discredit the other political opponents.  The one thing we have never seen until recently is the attempt to arrest, jail and forcefully stop a political opponent.  This is something that happens in 3rd world dictatorships and Marxist countries.  This is the tool of "leaders" who are afraid of losing power.  Ever since the second Donald Trump was elected as President the Democratic party, media and political elites have done everything in their power to impeach, arrest, harass and just make his life hell.  Even through it all he is still standing and trying to win office again!

This past weekend these same Democratic politicians and DA's indicted Trump for what they call threats to national security.  The primary focus is his retention and storage of "classified" documents (103 to be exact).  They showed pictures of stacks of document boxes they claimed contained these documents.  I think any normal person who has ever seen these boxes knows each one can contain hundreds of documents, so why have more than just one box for 103 pages?  The answer is simple, to create an image that Trump had more than the 103 pages they found.  In reality he had every right under the Presidential Records Act to not only declassify any documents he wanted but to also remove and take with him when he left those documents.  He was required to store them in a place secured to FBI standards, and they had validated he had done just that.  The news is already convicting him of crimes he did not commit.  But you know who did?  Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden.  There is documented evidence Hillary had an unclassified server containing thousands of classified documents in her home.  Before she could be charged, she destroyed, with bleach, the server, cell phones and other items which contained the documents.  Joe Biden took documents out of secured areas when he was a Senator and also the Vice President.  These documents were found at every single one of his properties and in most cases not in a location secured at all.  The difference in these two cases is that the people involved were Democrats and also not allowed to remove or declassify documents!  These two cases were actual crimes!

So why is Trump now faces criminal charges?  Simple, he is a threat to the political establishment.  Their power is under direct threat.  They must stop him at any cost.  In order for them to maintain their grip on money and power he must be removed from the equation.  This is where 3rd world countries can be looked at as examples of what their plan is.  If anyone is a threat, they will be removed from the playing field at any cost.  He is being made the example for anyone else who dares to go outside the lines and try to make actual change in our system.  We as Americans cannot sit idly by and watch this happen.  We need to stand up and hold these vicious politicians accountable.  We the people must remove them from office and ensure they never sit in those seats again.  If we do not this will be the beginning of the end of our Republic and country.  I firmly believe in my lifetime good men and women will have to stand side by side and fight once again for our freedoms.  This will be the fight of our life and we must be ready.  I am not calling for violent revolution as I do believe we can legally stop this before it gets to that point, but we must be ready to stand firm to any extent or everything we hold close to our hearts will be ripped from our hands.  I for one will not stand by and watch our country fall as every other empire in the world has.  Thie country is worth fighting for and we need to be ready.

How leftist policies destroy cities

 I was reading an article this morning about a Gen Z activist in San Francisco who is documenting the downfall of the city due to the massive drug use, specifically Fentanyl.  He documents overdoses, homelessness, crime, etc. and has seem a massive increase in all as people have fled the city in huge numbers.  So what has contributed to this increase?  The answer, Liberal or leftist policies.  Legalizing drugs, allowing needle exchanges, increasing social welfare programs, encouraging people not to work by paying more in welfare than min wage and not locking up criminals.  Since I have moved back to Denver, which was once a much more conservative city, I have seen almost daily stories on the news about drug use, crime, violence, deaths in the black community, etc. Just yesterday a story about a 14-year-old black boy who committed armed robbery of a vape shop and was shot and killed by police in the alley behind it because he had a gun and attempted to aim at the cops.  a black activist was on the news saying "Police don't need to stop, question, arrest them, or anything.  They just need to be there."  Essentially saying black people in the city have the right to do anything without consequence.  That is ridiculous!  The family of the boy is suing the police and demanding millions.  Rather than look at what they may have done wrong that allowed their 14-year-old son to think armed robbery was acceptable.  

The point of this blog being these policies which decriminalize crime, encourage not working, promote drug use, etc. are causing nothing but harm.  We are a country of law and order.  Without it we will devolve into chaos and lose the freedoms we know and love.  We have seen police arrested and their lives ruined for doing the job to protect us!  Now I do understand there are some police officers abusing authority and being bias in enforcement of the law, this should be addressed and corrected.  But a vast majority of police officers are good people working hard to protect us.  At the same time criminals are made to be martyrs for minority communities.  Look at George Floyd, his situation was one of a lifetime of crime, violence and drug use.  In his case the black community created statues, said he was a pillar of his community and say he was murdered by the cops.  Neither of those two things is true.  I will go as far as to say if that community stopped making these criminals heroes, stopped them from infecting their communities and taught their children to look up to successful black people like Senator Tim Scott, Justice Thomas, or Ben Carson as heroes they might see it is possible to be successful despite your starting place in our country.  These people and many others should be placed in the media and applauded for their success.  The other issue is single parent homes.  Regardless of the color of someone's skin this is the main reason for success and failure in life.  When a home had a mother and a father the children as a majority are more successful.  

So what is the solution?  Do not have children with someone who doesn't have the same values, limit sex partners to people who will help raise your children not destroy them, instill in your kids respect for authority and good morals and have a basis of faith in your home!  Sounds simple but these few things would drastically change the face of our country.  I would also throw in a respect and pride in America!  We are all Americans, not "insert race identity"-Americans. We should unite as Americans against the world.  We have the greatest country in the world, hands down.  Until we figure that out and take pride in it we will continue to decline.  

I am not saying conservative policies would totally work either.  Both sides have issues and the solution is somewhere in the middle.  But faith, pride in country and good morals and values would solve a majority of our problems.  Police are not the enemy, law and order is not racist, Faith is not the problem, and most of all we are the only solution!  Govt cannot and will not protect or save us.  The government "We the People" not elected officials.  States should have more rights over their citizens than the feds and local communities and organizations should be providing the social welfare, not the government!  Small government and localized policies are needed.  

I like my sports without politics

 This past month has seen many states passing laws preventing "trans" athletes from competing in sports with the gender opposite to their biological sex.  This past month has also seen several mass shootings.  The one sports show I watch fairly regularly is First Take on ESPN.  As I am watching today they were discussing the Ja Morant situation. For those who may not know this player had an incident in a Denver strip club waving a gun around while "making it rain." He was suspended.  Well last week a video was on Tik Tok with him riding in a car once again flashing a firearm.  Well Steven A Smith went off about politicians sending Christmas cards holding AR-15's, the mass shootings and half of America wanting to reelect Donald Trump, or as he said "People wanting to reelect a guy who incited and insurrection, was impeached twice and is in the pocket of the gun lobby." So here is my question, why the fuck should I care what a sports commentator says about gun laws in America?  I watch the show for sports analysis, not political rants.  But Steven A is notorious for using the sports platform to push his pro-BLM, anti-white and anti-conservative political agenda.  I realize ESPN is most likely Liberal or left leaning as most commentators who lean right are not employed for long.

Now to address his comments.  An American citizen or politician has a Constitutionally granted right to bear arms. So I have no issue with the Christmas cards.  Secondly there was no insurrection incited by Trump on Jan 6 as his tweets from that day and recently released videos have shown.  And finally blaming the mass shooting on the availability of guns is ridiculous.  Banning guns from law abiding citizens does not prevent criminals from getting guns, it simply creates more innocent victims.  Most mass shootings take place in "Gun Free" zones.  And one of the last mass shooters avoided their first target due to it being "too secure." For all the idiots claiming removing the guns removes the violence and we should look at countries which have bans in place I am here to tell you, yes "gun" violence is less of course but the other forms of violence, aka knives, blunt weapons, etc., are way up.  Most of all once citizens give up any Constitutional rights they will never get them back.  

So what is the solution to mass shootings and gun violence?  For me it is a simple solution, freedom to own guns, armed security in schools and other public places, and teaching respect for firearms and life.  If those things were done we would see a drastic reduction in mass shootings and the like. A bad guy is less likely to shoot people if most people are educated and armed.  They are less likely to risk their own lives if they know at shot 1 they will be neutralized.  But back to my original thought, leave my damn sports alone.  Sports are one way people can escape from the political crap they are bombarded with every day.  Let people have a simple pleasure and just enjoy sports.  

Just to be clear

 In recent blogs I have spoken about the "trans" agenda and the negative impact it is having on our society.  It has been brought to my attention that my thoughts and feelings come across as against trans-people in its entirety, I was unaware it was being taken that way so this blog is to clarify my positions on two topics in particular, abortion and Transgenderism.  

Lets start by saying my beliefs in both topics are of two minds, my personal belief and my societal belief.  Lets start with abortion.  In my personal life I 100% am against abortion except for the medical need to save the mothers life or in the case of still-born babies.  I do not believe abortion should be used as a form of birth control.  I believe a woman and mans choice happens before sexual intercourse ever takes place.  I support teaching all young adults how to respect their bodies, have good morals and values and most of all be more selective in partners knowing the risk of pregnancy happens any time someone has sex.  Now societally I know in the end I am not the person who needs to stand before God and answer for my decisions and choices here on Earth.  I do not support a complete ban or complete legalization of abortion.  Men and women with their doctors need to be the only people involved in such decision.  Keep in mind a majority of planned parenthoods profit off of abortion and I have heard way to many stories of "doctors" at these places convincing women they NEED an abortion or their life will be ruined.  I have heard from some people due to the possibility of birth defects they were told to abort their baby, they didn't, and the children were born completely healthy.  So that's it, my extremely controversial opinion on that.

Now to the Trans movement.  When I rally against castration and HRT of kids under the age of 18 I am not saying that adults cannot choose to do whatever and believe whatever they want.  It is our responsibility as humans to protect children at all cost!  Hence why I include abortion in this blog.  Transgender individuals have a mental disorder and need mental health therapy, not hormone replacement.  But as adults people can do whatever they want to and I am not against banning those things FOR ADULTS!  I do believe any parent who pays for HRT and mutilation of their children should be arrested for child abuse.  Socially they should allow their kids to dress how they want and ask their friends to use a nickname if they choose.  But forcing families to use pronouns opposite of their born gender, cutting off families who don't and demanding lawsuits and such for people who oppose such abuse is insane.  Parents need to get their kids to a psychologist, not a "gender-affirming" doctor.  If I affirmed what my kids thought they were as kids I would have had dinosaurs, tigers and all the like.  ALL people at some point in puberty question who they are, feel out of place or feel like they don't fit in.  Until recently that was normal and not seen as a demand for physical change of your healthy body. All of us have at one point felt weird or different.  Tomboys like mud and trucks but were never questioned as boys.  Less masculine guys were never told they were girls, they just weren't so masculine.  None of your hobbies or interests make you the other gender/sex, they were just things you liked.   Telling kids under 18 that their interests define their natural born sex/gender is wrong.  Stop forcing kids to attend sexualized drag shows and stuff dollars in the G-Strings of men shaking fake tits and acting like that is normal.  Stop forcing kids to dress as a girl and answer to a girls name if they are born a boy.  Stop confusing your kids and let them be kids.  There have been trans people for as long as anyone can remember, now they are forcing kids into that as well.  The pendulum has shifted so far left it will swing back right just as far and that wont be healthy either.  I don't support bans on adults who believe they are transgender; I do support bans on castrating and harming kids.  I don't support bans on drag shows, I support bans on "child-friendly" of "family-friendly" drag shows as no such thing exists.  We don't allow kids to buy alcohol, cigarettes, get tattoos, etc. but sure let them cut of their body parts, does that make sense to anyone?

So as you can see I don't support legalizing or banning things, but common sense must prevail.  I will continue to fight to protect children, women and animals.  Those are my positions.  Feel free to share and comment.  I am always open to new ideas or facts that may change my position!
