    Unfortunate Truth
    This has been passed around with an unknown author. Enjoy.

    Men, like nations, think they’re eternal. What man in his 20s or
30s doesn’t believe, at least subconsciously, that he’ll live for-
ever? In the springtime of youth, an endless summer beckons. As you
pass 70, it’s harder to hide from reality.
    Nations also have seasons: Imagine a Roman of the 2nd century
contemplating an empire that stretched from Britain to the Near East,
thinking: This will endure forever. Forever was about 500 years, give
or take. France was pivotal in the 17th and 18th centuries; now the
land of Charles Martel is on its way to becoming part of the Muslim
ummah.
    In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the sun never set on the
British empire; now Albion exists in a perpetual twilight. Its 95-
year-old sovereign is a fitting symbol for a nation in terminal
decline.
    In the 1980s, Japan seemed poised to buy the world. Business
schools taught Japanese management techniques. Today, its birth rate
is so low and its population is aging so rapidly, that an industry
has sprung up to remove the remains of elderly Japanese who died
alone.
    I was born in 1947, almost at the midpoint of the 20th century
- the American century. America’s prestige and influence were never
greater. Thanks to the “Greatest Generation”, we won a World War
fought throughout most of Europe, Asia and the Pacific. We reduced
Germany to rubble and put the rising sun to bed.
    It set the stage for almost half a century of unprecedented
prosperity. We stopped the spread of communism in Europe and Asia,
and fought international terrorism. We rebuilt our enemies and lav-
ished foreign aid on much of the world. We built skyscrapers and
rockets to the moon. We conquered Polio and now COVID. We explored
the mysteries of the Universe and the wonders of DNA...the blue-
print of life.
    But where is the glory that once was Rome? America has moved
from a relatively free economy to socialism – which has worked so
well NOWHERE in the world. We’ve gone from a republican government
guided by a constitution to a regime of revolving elites. We have
less freedom with each passing year. Like a signpost to the coming
reign of terror, the cancel culture is everywhere. We’ve traded the
American Revolution for the Cultural Revolution.
    The pathetic creature in the White House is an empty vessel
filled by his handlers. At the G-7 Summit, Dr. Jill had to lead him
like a child. In 1961, when we were young and vigorous, our leader
was, too. Now a feeble nation is technically led by the oldest man
to ever serve in the presidency.
    We can’t defend our borders, our history (including monuments to
past greatness) or our streets. Our cities have become anarchist
playgrounds. We're a nation of dependents, mendicants, and misplaced
charity. Homeless veterans camp in the streets while illegal aliens
are put up in hotels.
    The president of the United States can’t even quote the beginning
of the Declaration of Independence correctly. Ivy League graduates
routinely fail history tests that 5th graders could pass a generation
ago.
    Crime rates soar and we blame the 2nd Amendment and slash police
budgets.
    Our culture is certifiably insane. Men who think they’re women.
People who fight racism by seeking to convince members of one race
that they’re inherently evil, and others that they are perpetual
victims. A psychiatrist lecturing at Yale said she fantasizes about
“unloading a revolver into the head of any white person.” We slaugh-
ter the unborn in the name of freedom, while our birth rate dips
lower year by year.
    Our national debt is so high that we can no longer even pretend
that we will repay it one day. It’s a $28-trillion monument to our
improvidence and refusal to confront reality. Our “entertainment” is
sadistic, nihilistic and as enduring as a candy bar wrapper thrown
in the trash. Our music is noise that spans the spectrum from annoy-
ing to repulsive.
    Patriotism is called insurrection, treason celebrated, and per-
version sanctified. A man in blue gets less respect than a man in a
dress. We’re asking soldiers to fight for a nation our leaders no
longer believe in. How meekly most of us submitted to Fauci-ism (the
regime of face masks, lockdowns and hand sanitizers) shows the im-
pending death of the American spirit.

    How do nations slip from greatness to obscurity?
    · Fighting endless wars they can’t or won’t win
    · Accumulating massive debt far beyond their ability to repay
    · Refusing to guard their borders, allowing the nation to be inun-
  dated by an alien horde
    · Surrendering control of their cities to mob rule
    · Allowing indoctrination of the young
    · Moving from a republican form of government to an oligarchy
    · Losing national identity
    · Indulging indolence
    · Abandoning faith and family – the bulwarks of social order.

    In America, every one of these symptoms is pronounced, indicat-
ing an advanced stage of the disease. Even if the cause seems hope-
less, do we not have an obligation to those who sacrificed so much
to give us what we had?
    I’m surrounded by ghosts urging me on: the Union soldiers who
held Cemetery Ridge at Gettysburg, the battered bastards of Bastogne,
those who served in the cold hell of Korea, the guys who went to the
jungles of Southeast Asia and came home to be reviled or neglected.
    This is the nation that took in my immigrant grandparents, whose
uniform my father and most of my uncles wore in the Second World War.
    I don’t want to imagine a world without America, even though it is
becoming increasingly likely.
    During Britain’s darkest hour, when its professional army was
trapped at Dunkirk and a German invasion seemed imminent, Churchill
reminded his countrymen, “Nations that go down fighting rise again,
and those that surrender tamely are finished.” The same might be said
of causes. If we let America slip through our fingers, if we lose
without a fight, what will posterity say of us?
    While the prognosis is far from good, only God knows if America’s
day in the sun is over.

    The Truth About Transgender Females’ Bodies & Athleticism.
    Michelle Cretella / Quentin Van Meter / July 22, 2021   
    COMMENTARY BY
    Michelle Cretella, M.D., is executive director of the American
College of Pediatricians.
    Quentin Van Meter, M.D., is a pediatric endocrinologist and
president of the American College of Pediatricians.

    When it was announced that Laurel Hubbard, a male athlete who
identifies as female, was selected to represent New Zealand on the
women’s weightlifting team in the upcoming Olympic Games in Tokyo,
it was considered by some to be a victory for the transgender move-
ment and “the power of inclusion.” Others consider it unfair to both
the sport and the athletes.

    Anna Vanbellinghen, a female weightlifter from Belgium who hoped
to qualify in the same event as Hubbard, made it clear that she
“fully supports the transgender community.” However, she correctly
pointed out that steroids—which give athletes unfair advantages—can
have retained benefits even years after their use.

    “So why is it still a question whether two decades, from puberty
to the age of 35, with the hormonal system of a man also would give
an advantage [in competing against women]?” she asked in a recent
interview.

    The International Olympic Committee ruled in 2015 that trans-
gender athletes “who transition from male to female are eligible to
compete in the female category” so long as their testosterone level
has been below a certain threshold for at least 12 months.

    At least two recent peer-reviewed studies challenge this rule.
One published in the journal Sports Medicine found “the muscular
advantage enjoyed by transgender women [men on estrogen] is only
minimally reduced when testosterone is suppressed” for 12 months.
A second review article found the male strength advantage to remain
even after three years of testosterone suppression.

    Even if the strength advantage could be eliminated, however,
to reduce the definition of female human being to having a certain
level of testosterone in your body for a certain amount of time com-
pletely ignores the scientific reality that genetics—not testoste-
rone—is at the root of all that makes the two sexes different.

    When males are allowed to compete in athletic leagues designed
for females, they deprive female athletes of the opportunity to safe
and fair participation in sports. As Vanbellinghen said, “Life-
changing opportunities are missed for some athletes—medals and Olym-
pic qualifications—and we are powerless.”

    She is not alone. Female sports at all levels have been infil-
trated by the transgender ideology. Here are just a few examples of
how females have been harmed when forced to compete against males:

    *In track and field, male high school runner CeCe Telfer won
three titles in the Northeast-10 Championships for women’s track,
and received the “most outstanding track athlete” award.
    *In softball, male player Pat (Patrick) Cordova-Goff took one
of 15 spots on his California high school women’s varsity softball
team.
    *In basketball, a 50-year-old, 6-foot-8-inch, 230-pound man,
Gabrielle (Robert) Ludwig, led the Mission College women’s baske
ball team to a national championship with the most rebounds.
    *In mixed martial arts, male fighter Fallon Fox shattered
female fighter Tamikka Brents’ eye socket and gave her a concussion.
Brents said she “never felt so overpowered in her life.”
    *In Connecticut’s state track and field championships, two male
high school runners, Andraya Yearwood and Terry Miller, took first
and second place in multiple events, beating out top high school
girls from across the state. Yearwood was named Connecticut’s “ath-
lete of the year.”

    The simple truth is that males outperform females in regard to
speed and strength due to inborn genetics and sex hormones. This has
consistently been proven by long-term research on elite athletes
when matched for training.
    The sex hormone testosterone plays an important role in regula-
ting bone mass, fat distribution, muscle mass, strength, and the
production of red blood cells leading to higher circulating hemo-
globin. This is particularly true during puberty.
    After puberty, male circulating testosterone concentrations are
15 times greater than those of females at any age. The result is a
clear male advantage in regard to muscle mass, strength and circu-
lating hemoglobin levels even after adjusting for sex differences
in height and weight.
    Athletic differences are also due to genetics. Studies have
identified more than 3,000 genes that are differentially expressed
in male and female skeletal muscle. Obvious bone differences due to
a combination of genetics and hormones even exist at birth; the
average male is heavier and taller than the average female and this
advantage continues, when controlled for stage of puberty, through-
out life.
    Genetics is why a male who self-identifies as female remains
male, and giving estrogen to a male does not transform him into a
female.
    While it is true that a male using estrogen will lose muscle
strength and impair other aspects of his physiology, he does not
alter his genetics; he remains male at the cellular level in all
body systems.
    Similarly, a female who self-identifies as male remains female,
and giving her testosterone does not transform her into a male. In
terms of genetics, she remains female at the cellular level. 
    These inherent sex-based differences also mean that females are
at higher risk of athletic injuries. For instance, stress fractures
involving the long bones of the legs in runners are more frequent in
females. Male athletes are far less susceptible due to their larger
and denser bones.
    Taken together, these discrepancies render females, on average,
unable to compete effectively against males in power-based or en-
durance-based sports.
    Science and common sense agree. When males are allowed to com-
pete in athletic leagues designed for females, they deprive girls
and women of the opportunity to safe and fair participation in
sports.
    * These are the experts, not politicians. It is time to respect
God's creation and its intended limits.
    Whatever is being done to pervert those limits has to stop.

    Parents Defending Education

    Fellow American, 

    I’ve shared with you many stories of “woke” policies damaging
our children.
    From Critical Race Theory to “social emotional learning” to
racially segregated spaces, radical and divisive ideas are being
forced on kids as early as kindergarten.
    But did you know that woke school policies threaten the core
of education — reading, writing, and arithmetic — as well?
    The Oregon Department of Education recently encouraged teachers
to register for training that encourages “ethno-mathematics." Among
the principles being taught in the training: the idea that empha-
sizing correct answers in math is part of “white supremacy.”
    Yes, you read that right: encouraging kids to find the right
answer to a math problem is racist.
    Oregon middle school teachers are being encouraged to use a
toolkit called "Equitable Math" for "dismantling racism in mathe-
matics." 
    "The concept of mathematics being purely objective is unequi-
vocally false, and teaching it is even much less so," the toolkit
reads. "Upholding the idea that there are always right and wrong
answers perpetuate objectivity as well as fear of open conflict."
    Amazingly, the toolkit says teachers should "come up with at
least two answers that might solve this problem."
    Take Springfield Public Schools as another example. In one of
the activities in their “Induction Equity Training” the teachers
used beads to represent individuals’ races and placed the beads
along a pipe cleaner.
    The participants were encouraged to choose between various
color beads to place on the pipe cleaner in response to questions
like “My primary doctor identifies as…,” “The majority of my close
friends identify as…,”The majority of my mentors identify as…,” etc. 
    At the end of the activity, they were encouraged to discuss
questions like “How might this activity help you better address
Anti-Racism and White Supremacy?” and “Do you now have strategies to
expand your community so that the colors on your pipe cleaner may
diversify?”
    Fellow American, I know you believe as I do that our children’s
education should be based on scholarship and facts that nurture
their development into happy, resilient, free-thinking, and educated
citizens. 
    America’s classrooms should focus on rigorous instruction in
history, civics, literature, math, the sciences, music, art, and the
ideas and values that enrich our country --not Critical Race Theory,
gender ideology, and “woke” math.
But instead, our kids are at the mercy of a new educational mis-
sion at war with basic American values and our kids’ happiness and
ability to succeed in life. Many schools have already embraced this
campaign, and many more are preparing to embrace it.
    Schools are increasingly moving way outside their lane without
the consent of the students, parents, and communities who's inter-
ests the schools are supposed to serve. 
    Parents Defending Education is fighting back -- with your help
Fellow American. Our children’s hearts, minds, and education are too
important to sit in silence. You are not alone in being disturbed by
these destructive developments -- and it is time to join together
and stop the madness in our schools.
    Together we’re speaking out against the extreme, harmful, ideo-
logical agenda infiltrating our schools … and fighting to restore a
healthy, non-political education for our kids.

    Thank you for standing with us!
    Nicole Neily, President

    Parents Defending Education

    I thought that this was very well written and with God's help
maybe we can get our teachers and children's educations back on the
path to getting a real unbiased, fulfilling learning experience.

    Democrats Are in Complete Disarray.
    Does Anyone Actually Know Who is in Charge when we have a
    Democratic President?

    I few weeks ago I posted a message on this very same subject but
everything seems to be evolving into complete chaos.
    On any given day, it might be Pelosi or Susan Rice. Other days
it appears that the Justice Department is controlling everything.
    Then they open the basement and Joe sticks out his head and acts
like he is going a completely different direction with an entirely
different agenda.
    Joe has spent his entire 50-year career lying to anyone who will
listen. He has made the US into a joke that the rest of the world
seems to lead him around as if he is on a leash.
    He has become an embarrassment and proven just how little he has
learned all these years. It is sad to watch.
    We can't forget Bernie who wants to hurry up and destroy the
economy ASAP. 
    He appears to have the help of the Squad who want to make the
United States into one of those horrible countries that they did
basically, ANYTHING to leave so they can corrupt our once great
nation into what they escaped from.
    We have arrived at this point through a long list of building
blocks carefully stacked against the American people with very few
people seeing what was being done.
    I will try to list as many as I can without dragging it out too
long.
    As far back as the 60s, the media discovered people would accept
whatever they were told if they told it enough on all the television
networks.
    While that was happening people like Soros, Alinsky, Hillary and
few others were getting very eager and hungry for power through
Marxism, Socialism, Communism and Fascism.
    In the late 80s and early 90s the Clintons figured out that they
could use the media to brainwash the American people similar to how
Hitler had done in the 30s and 40s.
Hillary met with the major media moguls and shared the Cloward-
Piven Strategy and Alinsky's Rules for Radicals and at some point
plans were designed and we have been going downhill ever since.
    With the media's help they discredited Bush 41 and they got Bill
Clinton installed into the White House.
    He convinced Congress to have Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac back a
massive numbers (30%) of all HUD loans for housing to people unable
to afford them. By the time he left office they had raised that to
52% of all loans to poor people.
    The American people wised up and elected G. Bush, but Congress
was not willing to stop the madness.
    Then 9/11 happened and the wars based on bad intel from the CIA
told Bush that Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction and he possibly
overreacted but his advisors mostly agreed that we should attack.
    While this was happening, the 2006 mid-term elections gave both
Houses of Congress to the Democrat.
    This gave Pelosi and Reid the power to cause the housing bubble
when they withdrew the government backing of millions of homes that
were sold through HUD. 
    The banks had no choice than to foreclose on mortgages that the
government had been taking the hit for those in arrears.
    And Americans got the crash.
    Democrats blamed Bush and then we got Obama and the wheels were
set to come to a screeching halt.
Obama took office and enacted over 14K regulations and withdrew
mining leases that forced the US to fall under the thumb of OPEC.
    This drove gas prices to their highest ever levels.
Millions lost their jobs and we started buying more and more
goods from China and other overseas countries.
    Then Obama created somewhere around 8-10K government jobs in
the Justice and State Depts. and filled them with liberal workers
and Judges that were willing to do whatever they were asked from
ignore Democrats that blatantly broke the law, to ignoring the LAW
of the LAND, to making false accusations against Republicans, and
pretending to be whistleblowers and lying in an effort to obstruct
and slow walking legitimate requests for judicial actions requested
by Conservatives.
    There seemed to be only one requirement, they had to blindly
follow instructions AND they HAD to HATE TRUMP and Republicans.
    So, we began a period lacking in ANY bipartisan discussions or
voting within Congress. There may have been a few exceptions but
it began a very dark period in our government that still continues
today.
    All of this opened the door for Obamacare, a gateway to a form
of socialized single payer healthcare.
    It didn't take long for Americans to see the error of the 2008
elections and Republicans gained control of Congress. 
    Then Obama tried to cover up his dismal unemployment numbers by
dropping people from the job participation rate when their benefits
ran out. So, with the stroke of a pen, some 4-5M people disappeared.
    FYI: Biden is doing the same thing now.
    Still waiting to find out what Obama did with about $6.4T of
our dollars. Word has it that he was spreading the wealth to poor
nations.
    The Left cheated in 2016 but forgot about the swing states so
America was blessed with Trump and even with the accusations, lies,
obstruction, fake impeachments, and fighting the corrupt left and
Justice Dept. he still accomplished more that his 3 predecessors
combined.
    You can do a search of the White House Trump Accomplish-
ments Archives, a .gov site that gives verifiable proof and truth.
    We are currently living the Biden crime family dismantling of
our once great nation.
    I am sure more truth will surface soon but for now we need to
pray for our future. God promises to protect His people. We are
surrounded with false prophets and evil people who will never know
the grace of God, so we pray.

Conservatively,
John

    More of Biden's Mess

    Biden's "Build Back Better" Will Double Your Chances of Being
 Audited by the IRS
    Published in Blog on November 19, 2021 by Article V Patriot

    The U.S. House just passed President Joe Biden's "Build Back
Better" boondoggle, and along with increasing the deficit by billion
of dollars, the legislation gives bags of cash to everyone's favo-
rite federal agency: the IRS.
    The legislation airlifts an additional $80 billion to the Inter-
nal Revenue Service to hire more agents and increase tax law en-
forcement. Proponents of the legislation describe the additional
funding as a way to audit "wealthy" Americans and ensure everyone
"Pays their fair share."
    But according to Republican congressmen on the Ways and Means
Committee, this expanded audit capability will impact lower and
middle-income earners just as much.
    "The proposal will lead to an additional 1.2 million IRS audits
each year, nearly half of which will hit middle class families
making less than $75,000," the memo states. "What does that mean for
Americans? More than double the chance of being audited. And not
just for the rich." 
    In other words, Biden is using our hard-earned money to fund an
agency dedicated to harassing the American people. 
    Here's an idea: instead of sending more money to the IRS, why
don't we lower taxes, simplify the tax code, and de-fund our
friendly federal tax collectors?
    Congress will never have the courage to implement these kinds of
reforms. They benefit from a complicated taxing system, and they
need our money to fund their social welfare agenda.
    Fortunately, we don't need their approval to limit the power and
jurisdiction of the IRS and every other federal agency. An Article V
Convention of States is called and controlled by the states and has
the power to propose constitutional amendments that do exactly that.
    These amendments, once ratified by 38 states after the Conven-
tion, can limit the authority of the federal government as a whole.
This would eliminate some agencies altogether and restrict the fund-
ing and authority of many others.
    The federal government has no right to construct a convoluted
tax code and then harass Americans for not being able to follow it.
    We need to limit the power and jurisdiction of the IRS, and the
best way to do that is via an Article V Convention of States.
    They are said to want to hire some 80,000 IRS agents to pull off
this scheme.
    This is somehow linked to Biden's idea of being able to track
every person's personal transactions of $600 or more but now there
is rumor that they could dig deeper.
    Some of the other things in this massive theft against the
American people will make your head spin.
    **My Comments:
    There is so much more to this. Obama created and staffed 5-9K
liberals within the Justice and State Dept. and virtually making
Democrats above the law.
    The next thing they were corrupting was the US Postal Service
to orchestrate the illegal mail-in ballot scheme that injected some
9-13 million illegal votes into the 2020 election.
    Now they are trying to infiltrate the IRS to enable them to
have unfettered access to all Americans financial transactions.  We
can NOT forget the massive $1.7 billion telecommunication center
Obama built in the Utah desert near Salt Lake City.
    All things operating the way they want, we and everything we do
will be closely monitored by the socialist government they have
been trying to construct for 30 years.
    We cannot afford to sit back and watch them destroy our nation
and circumvent the Constitution.
    Biden is, indeed, a puppet and basically just doing what he has
done for, probably his whole life. LIE. If his lips are moving, he
is lying. The sad part is that the media is mostly responsible for
enabling them.
    We must remember that God is in control, and I personally think
that He is giving them enough rope to hang themselves so that we
will not have to fear their corrupt efforts to destroy America for
maybe a few decades.
    Pray for God's mercy and grace.

Enter Bill and Hillary #6

I actually wrote this in April 2020 so I too have learned a
lot since but I didn't do much editing.
I started this series in March 2020 and when the pandemic came
I diverted my energy to trying to keep people informed of how Trump
was being persecuted and obstructed as he tried to move us through
the crisis of a lifetime.
You will need to go to other blogs and go back to last year.
This will actually enable you to piece the problems the Left
created and perpetuated for nearly 50 years.
Thanks for stopping by.
Hope you got through last week's Rules and are ready for all of
this to start to come home a bit.
While Alinsky was disrupting the establishment in Chicago he got
the attention of some radicals in the local community. You will know
one named Hillary Rodman. She fell for his plan hook, line, and
sinker.
She even wrote her college thesis about Saul Alinsky and his
radical aspirations. She also interviewed Alinski more than once. An
interesting fact is that access to her thesis was restricted from
public view for years.
She had a major disagreement with Alinski though. He felt you
couldn't socialize a country from within but Hillary was convinced
that she could. Oops, I mean she was convinced it could be done.
Hillary and Obama were reported to be Alinsky's most notable
disciples.
When her paper was posted she drew enough attention that Alinsky
tried to hire her as an activist at his training institute. She de-
clined because she opted to go to Yale. She had bigger plans.
Alinsky died in 1972. Obama was 11 yrs. old then. A few years
later he began where Alinsky left off and working for poor blacks
neighborhoods. He decided that forcing the government to throw money
at every problem would hurt the establishment the most.
    Some things never change. Obama also worked extensively with
ACORN. Do you remember all those illegal voter registrations they
did in 2008? 
So, we now have Hillary at Yale and Obama on the rise.
Somewhere around here she latched onto Bill. He was a protested
and went to England during the draft lotteries.
Oh! And George Soros was a family friend. He was there, I
believe financially as he groomed them both.
    So, they married in 1975 and moved to Arkansas. Bill became the
Attorney General and later governor.
This is where Hillary began to flex her influence. In 1978 she
started creating Children's Avocacy groups and pushing through
several Acts that put the burden on the state government.
She then joined the law group called the Rose Law Firm. They
happened to get involved in the Nixon impeachment and soon after she
was fired for lying.
While this was happening, Bill was running for governor. She
became the First Lady of Arkansas. She continued to push through her
child welfare acts.
I'm not saying they were bad except they put all of the respon-
sibility on the state.
Whitewater and numerous unexplained deaths began happening to
clear the way for Bill's run for the White House.
   In 1992 Bill let her get her foot in the door of the White House.
As First Lady of the US she could get Bill to let her try to push
her socialistic agenda. Then things went into high gear. Her primary
goal was to overhaul the entire healthcare program for all of
America. She failed miserably but did manage to create CHIP that
gave the states matching funds for poor children. This was only the
beginning for her.
    There was a book by Peggy Noonan of a secret meeting with the
media moguls in the mid 80s. I am still trying to verify that.
While she was doing that Bill was equally busy. He created the
Fair Housing Act, the failed NAFTA, many welfare programs, deregu-
lated the banks. He forced banks to sell homes to minorities with
loans backed by the government. They knew they couldn't afford them.
That came back to haunt them later. He also signed the Iraq Libera-
tion Act. 
Bill also appointed 378 Article III judges. All his appointees
were liberal and anxious to do his bidding. Some still are. 
He created 5-7 million government jobs but had 4.3 million go-
vernment worker throughout the government, State and Justice Dept.
And he also closed 33 military bases saving billions that he spent
on other projects. There is a reason for this that I will explain
later.
Keep in mind Alinsky's blueprint for socializing America. It's
working.
 You might want to watch the YouTube video on Hillary's America.
It's an eye opener.
May God continue to Bless the US of A.

John

    The Great Pushback

    Meckler: The Great Pushback Has Begun
    Published in Blog on November 04, 2021 by Article V Patriot

    Are you fed up with Washington, with radical ideologies, and
with politicians who just don't seem to care about us?
    If you answered, "YES!" you aren't alone.
    All across the country, Americans are standing up to tyranny,
and COS Action President Mark Meckler outlined what he's calling
the Great Pushback in a recent article on Newsmax:
    They're tired of unconstitutional vaccine mandates in New
Jersey, they're tired of leftist "educators" in Virginia telling
them that they can't shape their kids' school curriculum.
    Most of all, they're tired of an all-powerful federal govern-
ment — controlled by know-it-all bureaucrats — telling them how to
live their lives.
    Election results from Virginia and New Jersey offered the first
opportunity since Biden's inauguration to register discontent at
the ballot box, but anyone who has been paying any attention could
have seen this coming.
    From the recent elections in Virginia and New Jersey to popula-
rity of the "Let's Go Brandon!" chant to companies refusing to
enforce vaccine mandates to Illinois sheriffs not bailing out 
Chicago's crime problem, the evidence for the Great Pushback is
everywhere.
    The polls back this up, as Mark explains:
    Poll after poll shows the American people are sick and tired of
Biden's agenda, and their opinions won't be changing any time soon.
    The latest NBC poll showed 71% of Americans now think the coun-
try is headed in the wrong direction.
    And when asked who would best handle important national issues
like crime, inflation, national security, the economy, and border
security, Americans give Republicans a double-digit lead over
Biden's party.
    Those numbers explain what is happening in airports, school
board meetings, restaurants, and football stadiums all across the
country.
    We should refuse to comply with tyrannical mandates. We should
vote for better politicians, and we should oppose big-government
policies at every turn. But the most powerful tool in our arsenal
will always be an Article V Convention of States.
    A Convention of States is called by the states under the author-
ity of the Constitution and has the power to propose constitutional
amendments. These amendments can limit federal power, impose term
limits on federal officials, and force Congress to be fiscally
responsible.
    If we really want to send Washington a message, we'll unite be-
hind the Convention of States movement and forever change the
status quo in D.C.
      by Meckler...
    This movement is continuing to gain momentum.
    Democrats are turning on their party as prices rise and inflation
grows now to almost 7%.
    Biden is begging OPEC to pump more oil and inbound supplies are
being moored off shore with no projected dates for getting things
we all want for Christmas.
    Even if the ships dock, the Chinese control the ports so we are
at the mercy of the Chinese which only seems to make Democrats happy
seemingly due to their long close relationship to the Chinese.
    People are still pouring over the border and being released to
points unknown all over the country while the Democrats continue to
deny it is happening.
    So, what we have is a small group of Marxist, socialist, racist,
corrupt and American haters trying to force their sick ideals upon
over 300 million Americans that thought they were part of a Republic
of, for, and by the people.
    The simple description is that they are Fascists and, as usual,
continue to call us the problem.
    YES, it is time to push back.
    With God's grace and help we will prevail.

    Ready, Aim, Fire: Left Fired Too Soon and Created 
    Its Own Tet Offensive

    Rep. Mark Green / @RepMarkGreen / November 05, 2021

    The three steps to start an uprising are to cultivate a message,
control the flow of information, and then engage in direct conven-
tional warfare, according to Mao Zedong. The left has been creating
its message since the early days of Saul Alinsky.
    The chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, Mao Zedong, wrote
that there are three phases to an insurgency. While the ideas of one
of the most brutal tyrants in history should be left in the ash heap
of history, some of his teachings have been followed to a tee in
some corners of this country.
    *The first phase in sparking an uprising is the cultivation of a
message, which the radical left has been doing as early as the days
of Saul Alinsky, if not earlier. The central message of the left
today is that America’s institutions—and Western civilization as a
whole—are structures of oppression that must be entirely decon-
structed to make way for a new progressive social order.
    *The second phase is centered on controlling the propagation of
information. The liberal establishment has long been dominant in the
education and media establishments, but the left’s complete control
of the institutions has reached new heights in recent years.
    From indoctrinating the young with critical race theory to call-
ing parents “domestic terrorists,” the education system now dissem-
inates propaganda instead of teaching students to be productive and
patriotic citizens.
    Similarly, we have seen censorship rise to new levels on social
media, as those who counter the progressive elite’s narrative are
silenced. The selective canceling of anyone who doesn’t engage in
groupthink undermines the core of what makes this nation great.
    *Once enough people have been indoctrinated, the third phase
starts: direct conventional warfare. The left has moved quickly into
this third phase since President Joe Biden’s victory one year ago
-but perhaps too quickly.
    From taxpayer-funded abortions on demand to defunding police,
from their $3.5 trillion social engineering boondoggle to indoctri-
nating our children with critical race theory, the Democrats—like
the North Vietnamese in 1968—tried to move into phase three too
soon. They struck before enough people have been indoctrinated.
    The insurgent force of the North Vietnamese, the Viet Cong,
staged massive attacks against South Vietnam in 1968. The Viet Cong
forces were destroyed by the South Vietnamese and U.S. military
forces. 
    For the remainder of the war, the North Vietnamese Regular Army
conducted the fighting. While the parallels are not perfect, the
clear similarity is the Viet Cong chose to move into phase three
—direct warfare—too soon. It failed. 
    Unfortunately for the freedom-loving people of South Vietnam,
America, and specifically the U.S. Congress, withdrew its support
for the fight. Seven years later, Saigon fell.
    Our nation witnessed the liberal progressives’ version of this
Tet Offensive on Nov. 2. The left’s advancement into the third phase
prematurely resulted in the decisive victory in Virginia, along with
the failure of the “defund the police” ballot measure in Minnea-
polis, one of the bluest cities in America.
    Of course, New Yorkers elected a former police officer as mayor.
Perhaps it was their hatred of former President Donald Trump, or
perhaps they realize their control of Congress is tedious at best
and soon coming to an end.
    Regardless, because of the left’s premature and extreme over-
reach, the American people were awakened and thus able to end their
efforts to create their socialist utopia, for now.
But as in Vietnam, we won a great battle through their premature
move to phase three of their insurgency. However, the war is not
over—and our fight for this great nation must and will continue.
    Thanks to Rep. Green

    A perfect analogy of how strong the American people are and how
scared the Democrats are about the next 2 elections.
    They started decades ago and many of the key players are old now
so they threw everything they could, including a fraudulent election
and even orchestrating two baseless impeachments and a fake riot on
Jan 6, 2021 that is falling apart with every day that passes.
    It seems that the only qualification to be an insider in the 
Democratic Party is to be a heartless liar who have completely
forgotten the premise of the foundation of the US and the definition
of a Republic.
    They also don't seem to care about the American people and will
destroy anyone who disagrees with them or gets in their way.
    We still have the same God that helped us through tough times
and if it be His will, will get us through this and purge the evil
the Left has polluting our once great nation with in the process.
    Be strong, keep your faith, and trust in the Lord.

    Is Stealing wrong?

    Is Stealing Wrong? Not on the Left by Dennis Prager
    To most readers of this column, the question is absurd. The
reason is not because the question is, in fact, absurd; it is because
most readers of this column are conservative, and many are religious.
    Am I implying most leftists do not believe stealing is wrong?
    Yes, I am.
    As incredible as this assertion is to just about all religious
people and virtually all conservatives, most leftists do not believe
stealing is wrong. Since I always draw a distinction between those on
the Left and liberals, let me add that I suspect most liberals think
stealing is wrong. But it almost doesn't matter because they vote for
people who do not think it is.
    One proof is the passage of Proposition 47, a California ballot
initiative passed in 2014, under which theft of less than $950 in
goods is treated as a nonviolent misdemeanor and rarely prosecuted.
As a result, in Democrat-run California cities such as San Francisco
and Los Angeles, retail theft has soared.
    Walgreens stores in San Francisco are racking up four times the
average amount of theft in Walgreens stores across the country;
spending on security guards in San Francisco is 35 times more than
the chain's average in other cities. Walgreens has been forced to
close 22 stores in the city since 2016.
    As reported in the San Francisco Chronicle: "The Safeway located
in San Francisco's Castro neighborhood - was a longstanding, 24-hour
fixture in San Francisco's Castro neighborhood. But as of last week,
the store's hours have been cut back to 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. . A Safeway
spokesperson (said) that the cutbacks are 'due to an increasing
amount of theft at the store.'"
    Further proof that the Left doesn't consider theft wrong — at
least when committed by a person of color — was an interview broad-
cast on NPR last year with the author of a book titled "In Defense
of Looting." The NPR interviewer threw only softball questions to
the author.
    In the last election, Los Angeles voters elected San Francisco's
previous district attorney, George Gascon, as Los Angeles's district
attorney. It was Los Angeles's way of declaring that stealing is not
wrong. And it is worth noting that it is not only racial minorities
and the poor who make the elections possible; it is also prosperous
whites. The Los Angeles DA is a wealthy white, and he was supported
by a white billionaire, George Soros.
    It is hard to believe that millions of Americans do not deem
stealing from stores morally wrong, so let's try to explain how this
has come about.
    *Reason No. 1 is moral relativism. For as long as there has been
a Left, it has rejected moral absolutes. As the great British his-
torian, Paul Johnson, pointed out a half-century ago in his magnum
opus, "Modern Times," the secular world applied the relativism of
the natural sciences to morality.
    *Reason No. 2 is the reason for reason number one: the collapse
of the Judeo-Christian value system and the accompanying abandonment
of, and often disdain for, biblical ethics. Biblical morality posits
moral absolutes — meaning that stealing is wrong for everyone, cer-
tainly people of every color. Yes, one can offer a biblical defense
of a starving man stealing food for his starving family. But that is
hardly what is happening in San Francisco and other American cities.
    *Reason No. 3 is Marxist morality. From Marx to the present,
Marxism has divided the world not between right and wrong, but be-
tween economic classes. Therefore, it is morally acceptable for mem-
bers of the poorer classes to steal from members of the more af-
fluent classes. This notion has made its way into young people's
minds for decades. About 30 years ago, I spoke to students from four
Cleveland high schools. I asked them to raise their hand if they
would steal something they really wanted from a department store if
they were certain they would not get caught. Nearly all the students
raised their hands. When I asked some of them to justify their rea-
soning, they all said the same thing: they wouldn't steal from a
mom-and-pop store, but they would steal from a department store. It
is OK to steal from "the rich."
    *Reason No. 4 is leftists' view of nonwhites, especially blacks,
a view that conservatives have never shared. Leftists truly believe
that blacks are intellectually and morally inferior to whites. The
evidence? They do not believe blacks should be held to the same
intellectual and moral standards to which leftists hold whites.
    Leftists do not defend whites who steal, and they hold whites to
higher intellectual standards. Leftists do not argue for lowering
math standards for whites, only for blacks.
    The bottom line is the Left is immoral. That is why it defends
stealing.
    'by Dennis Prager'
    The videos are on TV almost daily. People stroll into stores and
walk out with arm loads, bags, bicycle baskets, shopping carts full
of whatever they want like they are entitled.
    They show NO respect for the law or the rights of the owners and
what damage they are doing to their bottom line or insurance.
    At some point this will have to stop. 
    They are being enabled by the police, the corruption of the 
Justice Dept., city and state governments, and everyone that sits
back and watches it happen.
    Americans need to turn back to God and the Constitution and take
action to take back our country.

    American Liberty Much Not Become Coronavirus Casualty
by Mike Pence October 4, 2021

    When announcing his nationwide vaccine mandate, President Joe
Biden declared, “This is not about freedom.” But for Americans who
live outside the Beltway, it is absolutely about freedom, because
America is about freedom.
    Yes, the coronavirus is still with us. Yes, it is still potenti-
ally dangerous, particularly to vulnerable Americans. But the need
long since has passed for extraordinary measures such as lockdowns,
mask mandates, and other restrictions on American liberty.
    In a country with competent leaders, all such measures—most
especially the forced vaccinations for COVID-19 recently ordered by
Biden—would be repealed, and Americans would be allowed to return to
their normal lives.
    Aggressive measures made sense in early 2020, when I served as
chairman of the White House Coronavirus Task Force. Back then,
scientists understood precious little about the virus and hospitals
were rightly concerned about the possibility of running out of bed
space for COVID-19 patients.
    But 18 months later, we have three safe and effective vaccines
thanks to the Trump-Pence administration’s Operation Warp Speed, and
over 77% of American adults are at least partially vaccinated. I
chose to get vaccinated, and so did my family. But that’s a choice
that every American should be free to make for themselves.
    The good news is, today we know a great deal about the corona-
virus and the threat—or lack thereof—that it poses to American
citizens.
    Most importantly, we know that the virus does not affect popula-
tions equally, which is why one-size-fits-all mandates make abso-
lutely no sense. For example, young, healthy people with no pre-
existing conditions typically experience only mild symptoms from
the virus. In fact, nearly 98% of all COVID-19 deaths in the United
States have occurred in those over 40.
    Meanwhile, people who are obese or overweight face a much higher
risk of severe symptoms and hospitalization. According to the Cen-
ters for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 80% of patients
hospitalized for COVID-19 were overweight or obese.
    Yet, in his sweeping vaccine mandate on 80 million Americans,
Biden and his public health bureaucrats make no distinction between
groups based on age, overall health, or any other known risk factors.
    Nor do they consider the 1 in 3 Americans who already have con-
tracted and recovered from the virus, and thus have developed natural
immunity—which multiple studies have shown is far more effective and
longer lasting than the immunity achieved by vaccination.
    Why should those who are naturally immune be penalized for re-
fusing a vaccine that, for them, is probably medically unnecessary?
    Likewise, thousands of American military personnel face a less-
than-honorable discharge if they choose not to get vaccinated under
Biden’s order. Our troops mostly are young and in excellent physical
condition, and thus have weathered the pandemic better than almost
any other group of human beings on the planet.
    We have experienced just 26 known deaths out of more than 200,000
coronavirus cases in the U.S. armed forces. Why exactly does Biden
want to fire thousands of our nation’s finest patriots simply for
refusing a shot that all evidence suggests most of them do not need?
    The president’s absurd, unscientific, unnecessary, and unlawful
vaccine mandate is now being echoed by left-wing politicians across
the nation.
    In New York, after announcing that “God wants” people to get
vaccinated, the new Democrat governor began firing nurses and health
care workers who declined the vaccine. In what world does it make
sense to fire nurses in the name of public health?
    Likewise, the Biden administration is threatening to fire thou-
sands of unvaccinated Border Patrol agents. On the other hand, the
record number of illegal aliens streaming across the border are
exempt from the tyrannical rules American citizens are forced to
live under. In fact, the Biden administration knowingly has released
thousands of COVID-19-positive illegal immigrants into American
communities.
    The president and other liberal politicians continue to move the
goalposts every time someone has the audacity to ask when we can have
our liberty back.
    If Americans distrust the administration, it’s because of state-
ments such as this by Dr. Anthony Fauci: “When polls said only about
half of all Americans would take a vaccine, I was saying herd im-
munity would take 70 to 75%,” he said. “Then, when newer surveys said
60% or more would take it, I thought, ‘I can nudge this up a bit,’ so
I went to 80, 85.”
    If Biden and Democrats have their way, the pandemic-induced panic
will never end. The coronavirus has given the radical left the per-
fect opportunity to create the utopia they have dreamed about for
ages: a world of absolute conformity, where all dissenting opinions
and the people who hold them—are ostracized from polite society.
For the radical left, this is not even about the virus, or about 
public health. It’s about power, control, and forcing the American
people to submit. 
    But the American people never have submitted to tyranny, and
never will. Vaccinated and unvaccinated Americans, Republicans and
Democrats, young and old, should stand together against Biden’s un-
lawful mandate and state-sponsored discrimination against those who
choose to make their own health care decisions.
    When Americans speak with one voice and demand the restoration
of liberty, then and only then will the pandemic panic truly be over.

    I think VP Pence is onto something. Now we need to make the
American people understand.
    I pray that God and His plan will save our land.

John
