     The Coup We Never Knew
      'After a short vacation it is time to catch up.'

     **Did someone or something seize control of the United States\
By: Victor Davis Hanson
     What happened to the U.S. border? Where did it go? Who erased
it? Why and how did 5 million people enter our country illegally?
Did Congress secretly repeal our immigration laws? Did Joe Biden
issue an executive order allowing foreign nationals to walk across
the border and reside in the United States as they pleased?
     Since when did borrowed money not have to be paid back? Who
insisted that the more dollars the federal government printed, the
more prosperity would follow? When did America embrace zero
interest? Why do we believe $30 trillion in debt is no big deal?
     When did clean-burning, cheap, and abundant natural gas become
the equivalent of dirty coal? How did prized natural gas that had
granted America’s wishes of energy self-sufficiency, reduced pol-
lution, and inexpensive electricity become almost overnight a pariah
fuel whose extraction was a war against nature? Which lawmakers,
which laws, which votes of the people declared natural gas develop-
ment and pipelines near criminal?
     Was it not against federal law to swarm the homes of Supreme
Court justices, to picket and to intimidate their households in ef-
forts to affect their rulings? How then, and with impunity, did
bullies surround the homes of Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel
Alito, Amy Coney Barrett, Neil Gorsuch, John Roberts, and Clarence
Thomas—furious over a court decision on abortion? How could these
mobs so easily throng our justices’ homes, with placards declaring
“Off with their d—s”?
     Since when did Americans create a government Ministry of Truth?
And on whose orders did the FBI contract private news organizations
to censor stories it did not like and writers whom it feared?
     How did we wake up one morning to new customs of impeaching a
president over a phone call? Of the speaker of the House tearing up
the State of the Union address on national television? Of barring
congressional members from serving on their assigned congressional
committees?
     When did we assume the FBI had the right to subvert the cam-
paign of a candidate it disliked? Was it suddenly legal for one
presidential candidate to hire a foreign ex-spy to subvert the
campaign of her rival?
     Was some state or federal law passed that allowed biological
males to compete in female sports? Did Congress enact such a law?
Did the Supreme Court guarantee that biological male students could
shower in gym locker rooms with biological women? Were women ever
asked to redefine the very sports they had championed?
     When did the government pass a law depriving Americans of their
freedom during a pandemic? In America can health officials simply
cancel rental contracts or declare loan payments in suspension? How
could it become illegal for mom-and-pop stores to sell flowers or
shoes during a quarantine but not so for Walmart or Target?
     Since when did the people decide that 70 percent of voters
would not cast their ballots on Election Day? Was this revolution-
ary change the subject of a national debate, a heated congressional
session, or the votes of dozens of state legislatures? No, of
course not.
     What happened to Election Night returns? Did the fact that
Americans created more electronic ballots and computerized tallies
make it take so much longer to tabulate the votes?
     When did the nation abruptly decide that theft is not a crime,
assault not a felony? How can thieves walk out with bags of stolen
goods, without the wrath of angry shoppers, much less fear of the
law?
     Was there ever a national debate about the terrified flight
from Afghanistan? Who planned it and why? And today, the current
administration (Biden) is blaming former President Trump for that
disaster!
     What happened to the once-trusted FBI? Why almost overnight
did its directors decide to mislead Congress, to deceive judges
with concocted tales from fake dossiers and with doctored writs?
Did Congress pass a law that our federal leaders in the FBI or
CIA could lie under oath with impunity?
     Were Americans ever asked whether their universities could
discriminate against their sons and daughters based on their race?
How did it become physically dangerous to speak the truth on a
campus? How did that happen in America?
     How did a virus cancel the Constitution? Did the lockdowns
rob us of our sanity? Or was it the woke hysteria that ignited
our collective madness?  
     We are beginning to wake up from a nightmare of a country we
no longer recognize, and from a coup we neither knew about nor
recognized.**
     The obvious thing is that Mr. Hanson has asked many relevant
questions as to how the corrupt DOJ, Media, and Biden Dark money
could be allowed to bypass the Constitution.
     Faith in God will surely eventually expose all the rampant
corruption.

     Respect for the United States

     I borrowed some of an Opinion Letter from the Epoch Times.
     Mike Kunkel of Maryland.

        My father was a member of the greatest generation and was
a true American patriot through and through.
     He served his country in the U.S. Marine Corps and his two
sons, my brother and I served in the U.S. Army. My Dad spent 21 yrs.
and was one that landed on Iwo Jima. My brother served 27 years,
some of it in Vietnam. I served 21 years and we all joined to put
our lives on the line for the freedoms of every American.
     Dad taught us the simple guidelines, such as love and respect
for God, family, and country.
     He taught us to always respect our elders, women and the law,
how to hold the door for anyone, especially women, to always offer
them a seat, and to walk on the curb side to protect them. He told
that under NO circumstance to ever strike a woman.
     He taught us to always stand silent and at attention when the
flag passed and during the playing of the National Anthem.
     My parents were Democrats until the party began to lose their
way in the 1060s and forgot what the Constitution said and decided
that we should always vote for the best person for the job rather
than try to force party rule on everyone and lately that a person
is innocent until proven guilty and that we are all created equal.
     They would surely be ashamed of what has happened and likely
embarrassed to see what has become of the Democratic Party and
the way they have destroyed the American dream.
     I was born in 1949 and I cannot remember a Democratic presi-
dent that accomplished anything that didn't damage the economy.
They have spent their time finding ways to drain the taxpayer even
when there was no need.
     I found it difficult to find accomplishments of Kennedy's
thought the media tried to belittle the 3 years that Eisenhower
was able to balance the budget.
     LBJ screwed up the Vietnam Conflict but Nixon and Ford were
able to get us out of the war and bring our people home. The with-
drawal would have gone better if Biden had not fought against
using our resources to evacuate the Vietnamese who risked their
lives to help us but that is why Afghanistan was no surprise.
     When Carter destroyed the economy, it made it easy to elect
Reagan to tighten our budget and put Iran in their place.
     After GHW Bush was driven out after one term, we were stuck
with W. Clinton and his wife who got the entire media involved
in corrupting them and apparently the DOJ.
     GW Bush had the bombing of the Twin Towers and 2 wars due to
false intel he received from the Clinton DOJ.
     The Democrats (Pelosi and Reid) created the housing bubble
and then tried to blame it on Bush, which was easy since they also
controlled the liberal media. It also helped to get Obama into the
White House while they used Karl Marx and Saul Alinsky's plans to
begin the Fundamental Change to our once great nation.
     After adding $9T to the debt and giving us the disaster we
know now as ObamaCare, we were blessed elect DJ Trump and for a
while derail the Democrats plans to destroy the economy.
     Trump, in spite of the constant attacks, mostly illegal, was
able to repair most of the Obama damage and will likely go down
in history as one of America's best once people are finally made
aware of the battles he fought to get anything done.
     Then the powers to be installed Biden into the White House
and if we learned nothing else, if his lips are moving, he is
either eating ice cream or lying. Most of the time, the later.
     The most saddening thing the Democrats have done in my life-
time ws 2012 at the DNC when they voted three times to remove
God from their platform and now they are showing us how little
they care for Country, Constitution, God, and their fellow citizens.
     This country was fortunate to have Trump and God willing,
we will again have him for a second term.
     If somehow we can get Trump back, it will take us all to
watch our backs and front to keep the Democrats from finishing
their selfish reasons and hateful practices that have knowingly
destroyed the economy. They sold off over half of our Strategic
Petroleum Reserves, lied on almost every unemployment numbers,
fabricated dozens of things that they have had NO intention of
completing, all with a One World Order goal.
     We won't get into the Biden Crime family or the false and
illegal accusations using lawfare. 
     This is while the middle class is being forced to spend all
of their savings and retirement funds in their attempt to force
everyone to follow their communist / socialist plans.
     Trump knows that all of those who have not been brainwashed
by their corrupt media will have his back.
     We have to get qualified people to work in the White House
and Capitol. This will also make it possible to force the media
to give Americans the truth, with facts, and proof. Not the
constant flow of lies they want us to accept.
     Today, we have three types of people; those who hate the U.S.
and want to see it destroyed from within, those who because of
the ultra-biased media are uninformed and don't want to know
enough to take a side, and those who love God and country.
     I believe there are more of us than of them and the reality
is that the UNINFORMED are the ones we have to worry about and
pray that God will intercede. We could be doomed and become just
another Argentina or failed attempt to socialize.
     Praying for America.
  Conservatively,
  John

 

	**Biden’s Blatant Election Interference Impossible to Deny
        Posted by Epoch Times staff writer / March 17, 2024

     Joe Biden has now publicly engaged in election interference, a
move that no thinking American voter can deny. So, in other words,
at least half of the country might deny it, because half of this
country find it nearly impossible to think. This brazen act comes
on the heels of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s call for new
elections in Israel, a statement that drew criticism from both Re-
publicans and Democrats alike. While some Democrats distanced them-
selves from Schumer’s interference, Biden openly supported the New
York Democrat’s remarks.
     The controversy began when Schumer, in a Senate floor speech,
expressed his belief that the Netanyahu coalition no longer fit the
needs of Israel after the attack by Hamas on October 7. He argued
that the world had changed dramatically since then and that Israel
was being stifled by a governing vision stuck in the past. Schumer’s
comments drew immediate criticism from Republicans and even some
prominent Democrats who believed that foreign interference in
Israel’s democratic process was inappropriate.
    Rather than distancing himself from Schumer’s interference,
Biden openly supported the New York Democrat’s statement. During a
meeting in the Oval Office with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar,
Biden declined to elaborate on the speech but stated that Schumer
had expressed serious concerns shared by many Americans. While
Biden’s support for Schumer may not have surprised his supporters,
it raised eyebrows among those who believe that foreign inter-
ference in elections is a serious matter.
     The question arises: Are Biden’s actions regarding Israel more
serious election interference than anything Russia allegedly did in
2016? This issue has sparked a heated debate among political com-
mentators and voters. While some argue that Biden’s support for
Schumer’s interference is a clear example of election meddling,
others believe that it pales in comparison to Russia’s alleged at-
tempts to influence the outcome of the 2016 U.S. presidential
election. The answer to this question largely depends on one’s
political stance and perspective.
     In response to the controversy, White House national security
advisor John Kirby clarified that Biden’s remarks were not intended
to communicate a lessening of support for Israel from the Biden
administration. He emphasized that the administration would con-
tinue to support Israel in its fight against Hamas and work towards
a temporary cease-fire. Kirby’s statement aimed to assuage concerns
that Biden’s support for Schumer’s interference signaled a shift in
U.S.-Israel relations.
     Unsurprisingly, Schumer’s call for new elections in Israel drew
strong disapproval from Republicans, with Senate Minority Leader
Mitch McConnell criticizing it as grotesque and hypocritical. Even
Netanyahu’s rivals in Israel, such as Benny Gantz, called Schumer’s
remarks a mistake. The bipartisan criticism highlights the extent
to which foreign interference in elections is viewed as inapprop-
riate and a violation of democratic principles.
     While the White House maintains that its support for Israel
remains unwavering, critics argue that Biden’s actions send a con-
fusing message. The incident adds to the existing tensions between
the two countries, particularly regarding policy differences on
issues such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Iran’s nuclear
program.**
     Biden has made many efforts to interfere with the elections
in the U.S., such as his efforts to derail Trump's presidential run
by selectively having the corrupt liberal judges attempt to create
false charges against Trump in four different lawfare suits to
raid Trump's home in search of classified documents and charge him
with 38 counts while he himself had boxes and boxes of classified
documents that he NEVER had authority to remove from the Capitol
while he was V.P. and a Senator. Biden had those documents in six
unsecured locations like his garage. Just like Clinton and Obama
NO one was charged except Trump.
    Then they charged Trump for inciting the riot on Jan 6, but
they hid the evidence and lied. They held hearings but Trump was
not allowed to defend himself. They held back 14K hours of video
evidence that explained that Trump told his followers to "peace-
fully and patriotically" go to the Capitol to make their voices
heard and accused him of trying to reverse the election but they
failed to explain that according to the Constitution he had the
right to CHALLENGE the electoral count.
     Then they charged Trump with inflating his property values
to get better loans. The truth is everyone thinks their house is
worth more than the bank thinks but they do their own appraisals
and they tried to fine him $454M just to be able to appeal.
     They have drug out lies that they tried to accuse Trump
of doing, going back to false accusers against Kavanaugh, Trump,
Trump's staff, and yet, not a single Democrat accused of the same
things has even been indicted.
     The Dems, DOJ, and their circle have broken dozens of laws
but they seem to have placed themselves above the law.
     They are determined to lie about anything to try to stop
Trump's run for re-election.
     There are other fraudulent cases the Left have charged him
with but the OBVIOUS reason is to keep him from winning.
     They have destroyed the reputation, economy, ethics, morals,
and integrity of our once great nation and they DO NOT CARE.
     As a retired, disabled Army NCO, I am embarrassed by their
hatred for and lack of morals toward their fellow Americans.
     I pray that God will save our land and continue to protect
Israel and Christians everywhere.
   Conservatively,
   John 

    *Hispanic Democrat Lawmakers Slam Biden
  (TheProudRepublic.com)

     Showcasing that Democrats are increasingly unhappy with the
Biden administration’s policies, Joe Biden’s allies are demanding
he abandon the idea of taking executive action to strengthen
asylum rules for migrants.
     The House’s Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) Chairwoman
Nanette Barragan criticized the White House for not consulting
immigration policy with her group, which she sees as an essential
part of the Democratic party.
     Barragan said, “CHC opposes unilateral attempts by the White
House to change our asylum system and put human lives at risk.
Enforcement-only policies do not work. And using immigrant com-
munities as a political pawn is wrong.”
     The Biden administration reports that it is exploring ways to
tighten asylum standards which aim to block illegal migrants with
questionable claims from exploiting the “catch and release” system
at the border.
     Additionally, the White House is considering reviewing deport-
ation priorities to speed up decisions and remove incoming aliens.
     The goal is to alter incentives that prompt individuals to
cross the border and gain prolonged residence in the U.S. before
facing immigration judges and potential deportation.
     President of Global Refuge Krish O’Mara Vignarajah criticized
these ideas as “deeply misguided” and said that “such restrictions
would flout longstanding humanitarian law, and in so doing, cause
great harm to persecuted individuals and families desperate to
exercise their legal right to seek protection.”
     Biden’s team is extremely desperate to have some action on
the border, which has become a political liability amid unpre-
cedented chaos. Administration officials were engaged in negotia-
tions that produced a bipartisan deal earlier this month to expand
presidential powers to control the border.
     Although the bill was defeated in a filibuster led by Repub-
licans who saw the bill as too weak, they were joined by a handful
of Democrats who viewed the measure as too rigid toward immigrants
who are in the country illegally.
     In turn the White House blamed Republicans for the bill’s
failure and sent mixed signals on whether Biden would resort to
executive action. If Biden uses executive powers, it would mean a
departure from previous claims that Biden’s options were limited.*
	
     Joe has since decided to blame Trump for the failure of his
crooked bill. His bill is loaded with $60B for Ukraine, $44B for
interdiction for fentanyl and human trafficking, increase standards
to increase asylum of illegal migrants (sending more people to do
processing), and a paltry $14B for our ally Israel.
     There is NOTHING in it to build the wall or secure the border
or round up the 8M illegals he has let into the country.
     NOTHING to curb the number of Chinese, Argentineans, Haitians,
or any of the nearly 100 nationalities coming in.
     He has not said a word about the over 300K people that have
been flown here from Mexico to 43 Sanctuary cities.
     Hispanics are likely the hardest working and proud group of
people here who aren't in favor of the masses crossing our borders
and destroying our economy.
     Biden and his crooked party also plan to use the 2020 census
to amass them in liberal Blue states to increase their seats in
the House to take control of the money and choke conservatives
Constitutional rights.
     He doesn't care where they come from and he doesn't give these
people a health checkup or vet them.
     They have brought  diseases into the US that we had eradicated
years ago and it is spreading.
     It is not just the Hispanic Democrats upset with Biden but it
is a  majority of conservatives but Biden and his unelected czars
do not care what is best for thew U.S.
     It is past time for conservatives to stand up and take back
what was once the most powerful nation on the planet.
     God has a plan but He expects us to stand up and demand some
changes.

   Conservatively,
   John
 
 

	Corruption, Beyond a Reasonable Doubt
     By: Bill O'Reilly December 9, 2023

     **Corruption, Beyond a Reasonable Doubt
     The word "corruption" is to easily thrown around. It is a
dangerous thing, especially when embraced by the powerful, so 
caution should be used when alleging it.
     The case of Hunter Biden is an incredibly vivid example of
corruption by the federal government. The situation rivals Water-
gate and the Teapot Dome scandal, engineered by members of Presi-
dent Warren Harding's cabinet.
     Because of Hunter, the Biden administration will go down in
history alongside Richard Nixon and the Teapot.
     *The following facts are not in dispute.*
     From 2014 to 2019, Hunter Biden amassed millions of dollars
selling influence to foreign concerns. The son of President Biden
used his father's name in multiple financial deals where foreign
nationals were promised access to the elder Biden.
     The IRS, flagged by banks, began investigating Hunter during
the Trump administration. But little happened even though it was
obvious Hunter Biden had dodged his federal tax obligation for
years. How obvious? He didn't even file.
     SHOCK AND AWE SPECIAL: PEARL HARBOR
     In a press conference on December 21, 2020, Trump Attorney
General William Barr said he had full confidence in the Hunter
Biden investigation and would not appoint a Special Prosecutor
even though his boss, President Trump, favored that.
     Barr was either badly mistaken or corrupt.
     The incoming Attorney General under President Biden, Merrick
Garland, also refused to appoint an independent counsel, saying
the U.S. Attorney in Delaware, David Weiss, was doing a fine job.
That was a ludicrous and perhaps dishonest statement.
     After at least five years of probing, Weiss finally charged
Hunter with two misdemeanor tax violations and a low-level gun
possession illegality. A corrupt plea bargain was reached where
Hunter Biden would spend no time in prison.
     Enter two IRS investigators who testified under oath that
Weiss and Garland had no intention of getting to the truth of the
matter. That happened on July 19, 2023 of this year.
     Almost a month later, a federal judge rejected the corrupt
deal put forth by the Justice Department. In an incredible display
of arrogance, Garland signed off on that deal despite the testimony
of the whistleblowers.
     He couldn't be bothered with that.
     Amazingly corrupt.
     Up until this point, the powerful corporate news agencies,
especially The Washington Post of Watergate fame, The New York
Times, and NBC News, basically covered for the Biden family, even
attacking those seeking the truth. In fact, only a very few media
outlets, like The New York Post, pursued the story.
     That abdication of journalistic responsibility lays the
"corrupt" label on the American press. And there's no doubt about
it.
     Last week, under enormous pressure because of the Congressional
testimony, the Justice Department filed three new felony charges
and six misdemeanors against Hunter Biden. Essentially, the 56-page
indictment says he broke tax law for three years from 2016 to 2019.
     Whistleblowers allege Hunter's crimes began in 2014, but the
statute of limitations has run out, which some believe was a goal
of Garland's crew all along.
     So, Merrick Garland and his merry men somehow cobbled all of
these new charges together in less than four months when the G-men
were on the case five years prior to that.
     Get the picture? There's more.
     The latest federal indictment is filed in California, where
Hunter Biden spent much of his time. But, the U.S. Attorney in that
state is not cited in the court papers. Why? Because he flat-out
refused to investigate Hunter Biden.
     His name is Martin Estrada. He is still working for Merrick
Garland. That is corruption.
     The feds knew long ago that Hunter Biden was selling in-
fluence, dodging taxes, and literally spending millions on cocaine,
sex workers, and luxury automobiles. Attorney General Garland knew
President Biden knew, Jill Biden knew, and the corporate media knew.
     But all of them did not want you to know because that revel-
ation would have hurt the Democratic Party and the Progressive
Movement, which controls it.
     Corruption? Off the chart.
     Even Warren Harding would be appalled.**
     Keep in mind that Hunter was a felon when he purchased a gun
and his laptop had been hidden away in hopes that Americans would
just forget.
     Joe continued to lie about his knowledge of Hunter's dealings
selling 'access to Joe' as VP.
     They denied ever taking money from China and Ukraine and they
continue to lie but mostly pretend that none of it had happened and
now the truth is coming out but with a corrupt DOJ it is highly
unlikely anything will come from it.
     Court is still in session but the corrupt media no longer even
tries to inform the people.
     We are fighting a very steep uphill seeking justice but we
cannot give up. God is still in charge.
   Conservatively,
   John

	**Why Trump is the Right Choice for America
     Anonymous Author / February 16, 2024

	As you know, the primary process to select the next
Republican nominee for President of the United States has begun.
Trump has one clear advantage; he has job experience. As the 45th
President of the United States, the former president knows what it
takes to get the job done. Despite a horrific pandemic that rocked
his final year in office, President Trump’s policies steered the
nation on the most successful course in its storied history.
     Job numbers were outstanding, and the economy was clicking on
all cylinders. The U.S. was once again the leader of the free world.
     Our allies looked toward America with confidence. Adversaries,
countries that would do Americans harm if given the opportunity,
stood down. They knew better than to provoke one of our nation’s
most confident commanders-in-chief.
     Despite a constant bombardment of bogus attacks by the radical
left, President Trump still managed to produce one of the most suc-
cessful first terms in the White House of any U.S. president.
However, and rather suspiciously, China unleashed a devastating
pandemic on the world. It upended most of the economic success
Americans were experiencing.
     It gave the radical left a tool to use against the former
president. On the coattail of the deadly COVID-19 pandemic, radical
leftists flooded millions of dollars into manipulating the 2020
U.S. presidential election. The collective chaos the left created
allowed Joe Biden to steal his way into the Oval Office. The result
has been a calamity.
     The United States is on the verge of total collapse. This
destruction of our democracy is happening right before our eyes.
Many Americans are apathetic. That apathy will ultimately destroy
our nation permanently. This is the liberals’ plan. However, there
is one person who can slam the door shut on those plans.
     That man is former President Donald Trump. He has the stoic
confidence and critical experience to get the job done. Certainly,
there are potentially great leaders within the Republican Party.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is primed for his chance to be
Commander-in-Chief. Nevertheless, the time may not be now.
     Ron DeSantis time will come, but America needs a leader with
experience. President Trump is that leader. Even Florida Congress-
man Byron Donalds agrees. Donalds believes Ron DeSantis is a
powerful leader who will get his chance. However, the Florida
representative insists that former President Trump is the right
choice for America. Congressman Donalds is correct.
     As close as our democracy stands on the verge of total col-
lapse, President Trump may be the only person who can save the
nation. Apathy cannot prevail. Joe Biden cannot be allowed to
“finish the job.” His job is to destroy America permanently. We
need someone who can stop this radical attempt to overthrow our
democracy. Americans refer to him by one name: “Trump!”**

     We are now well on our way to make Trump our Republican
nominee for a much needed, second term.
     His first term did much to repair the damage Obama and
Clinton did creating the housing bubble in 2008 that brought on
an economic crash.
     Obama had doubled the national debt, created a healthcare
system that forced everyone to either join in or pay penalties if
they didn't.
     He manipulated the Labor Participation Rates to fabricate an
artificial unemployment rate. He also drove millions of manufac-
turing jobs overseas.
     Trump brought back millions of jobs as well as opening mining
and drilling to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserves and was
able to make America energy independent while he kept inflation
down and will do it again.
     I will not address the damage Biden has done to America and
continues to destroy the economy with a total of 19.3% inflation in
just 3 years. He added 11M illegal migrants because he refuses to
secure the borders on all sides.
     He seems to be focused on his personal gain by hook or by
crook.
     The once greatest nation on earth is on the edge of collapse
and Biden doesn't seem to care.
     I pray that God will heal our land and drive the evil out of
here and see if Trump can save us again.

   Conservatively,
   John

 	 **After Iowa: Can a Christian Support Donald Trump?
  Shane Idleman | Published: Jan 15, 2024

     With Trump maintaining a commanding lead, many are asking,
“How can you follow Jesus and Donald Trump?” Let’s be crystal clear
here: We are not following a man; we are shaping a movement. A
better, biblical question to ask is, What direction is the country
heading?
        CONFRONTATION OVER CHARACTER
     If a leader lacks Christian character but is pointing the
nation back to God, is that a bad thing?
     If they are being a terror to terrorists and making America
secure, is that a bad thing?
     If they are honoring hard work and minimizing free handouts,
is that a bad thing?
     If they are fighting the global agenda to enslave America, is
that a bad thing?
     God doesn’t judge a nation based on the character of one man;
He judges it based on the spiritual health of her people — from
corrupt Ballam to ungodly kings in the Old Testament — if leaders
direct the people back to God it can be a very good thing.
        A REALITY CHECK
    Not voting for Trump is a vote against what needs to happen in
this nation. We can’t allow “personal” pain or “flawed” character
to have national consequences. We’re not playing games anymore —
serious things are on the line that have massive consequences for
you and your children and grandchildren. We need to wake up.
     There is no Plan B. Although I really like Ron DeSantis, and
Vivek’s wit and knowledge is impressive, I don’t believe that any
other candidate can carry Trump’s momentum.
     For those who say they won’t be voting for him, your silence
speaks volumes. Saying nothing is saying something.
 	BURSTING AT THE BORDER
     Christians love refugees and immigrants and are eager to help
with food, lodging, and jobs. But at the national level, the pres-
ident is to put the safety and provision of the American people
first.
     When an airplane loses cabin pressure, parents put on their
oxygen masks first to better assist their child. This isn’t self-
ishness; it’s wisdom. Opening the borders parallels cabin pressure
falling and a limited supply of masks. Our law enforcement officers
could not sustain the load, nor could our nation’s healthcare
system. And the truth is that we may have more “enemies” than
“friendlies” crossing the border.
	WHO IS INFLUENCING YOU?
     The majority of news outlets spin everything (yes, everything)
to put Trump in a bad light. Their hatred for him trumps the truth.
Their agenda is simple and clear: Remove him from office at any 
cost! And I hope you realize this: They are really coming after you,
me, and our Christian values.
     The push toward open borders is more about votes than truly
helping people; hence the media’s silence on this issue. Open border
would be like me telling my kids to leave their windows open in case
a stranger needs a warm night’s sleep. That would be severe parental
neglect because many harmful things could also enter through those
open windows. Open borders would parallel that type of irresponsi-
bility.
	DON'T CONFUSE ME WITH THE FACTS
     Most critics don’t care what the facts are. Their hatred for
the former president overshadows their desperate need for humility.
Let this sink in: Innocent children will be protected, godly counsel
will hopefully surround Trump, terror will be restrained, good
judges will be selected, socialism will be resisted, families will
be encouraged via prices dropping, prayer will be sought again, and
on and on it goes.
     It’s time to embrace facts over feelings and results over
emotions.
	ROUGH BUT TOUGH
     An analogy that I often use will bring this point home: The
head of a neighborhood watch program, who took the late-night
watches, was occasionally gruff and impulsive, and sometimes his
words were crass and offensive, but he watched over the neighbor-
hood diligently each night.
     Each week he invited church leaders into his home to pray for
him and his family and to seek their advice. He often stood against
others on the committee who wanted to enact policies harmful to the
neighborhood and to the children, such as advocating an open-door
policy where residents were required to allow anyone into their
homes at all hours of the day for handouts.
     Is this not the kind of person you would want leading your
neighborhood watch?
     Does his past or his demeanor matter more than the results he
is accomplishing? If you are intellectually honest, the answer is
not difficult.
	BLINDED BY PRIDE
     As a personal observation, I have noticed that those who oppose
president Trump typically embrace liberal theology or they’re allow-
ing anger and pride to blind them. It makes one wonder what is truly
leading them.
     We can’t have our cake and eat it too — there is no middle
ground for Christians today. You can choose a president who will
seek to destroy America (and in many ways already has), or you can
choose to back President Trump.
     Again, there is no Plan B. I’m more concerned with our nation’s
national character than I am with the president's personal
character.**
        To NOT vote for Trump is to vote against America.
     Think about the 19.3% inflation, $3.30 gas, interest rates, the
cost of a trip for groceries, taxes, Biden's tax increase of taking
a standard deduction, housing costs, rent increases, and so much
more that costs the average family $7K more each year.
     Not even mentioning voter fraud, the lies about who was really
responsible for the Jan6 riot, the corruption in the DOJ, media, the
Democratic Party, and the mountains of evidence to prove it.
     Then there are the double standards to try to prosecute Trump
for the same provable things that the Left have done but no one the
gullible to know the truth and they continue to feed the public lies
because they know most liberals don't care enough to seek the truth
and that is the sad part.
     There is also the ethics and morals that are disappearing due
to a lack of Christian values. 
     I pray God will heal our land.

  Conservatively,

  	    Raccoons
        Anonymous writer

     Like many citizens, I've wondered and tried hard to understand
why Trump has such a remarkable following. (It's obvious why he
probably should not!) Then a friend sent me this raccoon story.
It makes no difference about your political leanings, this is just
a good explanation of WHY... (or it's as good as any I can come up
with).
     If you really want to know how the majority of people feel?
This applies to both Democrats and Republicans; read below, it says
it all.
     You've been on vacation for two weeks, you come home, and your
basement is infested with raccoons. Hundreds of rabid, messy, mean
raccoons have overtaken your basement. You want them gone imme-
diately. You call the city, 4 different exterminators, but nobody
can handle the job. But there is this one guy and he guarantees you
to get rid of them, so you hire him. You don't care if the guy
smells, you don't care if the guy swears, you don't care if he's an
alcoholic, you don't care how many times he's been married, you
don't care if he voted for Obama, you don't care if he has a
plumber's crack, you simply want those raccoons gone! You want your
problem fixed! He's the guy. He's the best. Period !
     Here's why we want Trump, yes, he's an egomaniac, but we don't
care. The country is a mess because politicians suck, the Republi-
cans and Democrats can be two-faced & gutless, and illegals are
everywhere. We want it all fixed! We don't care that Trump is crude,
we don't care that he insults people, we don't care that he once was
friendly with Hillary, we don't care that he has changed positions,
we don't care that he's been married 3 times, we don't care that he
fights with Megyn Kelly and Rosie O'Donnell, we don't care that he
doesn't know the name of some Muslin terrorist.
     This country is weak, bankrupt, our enemies are making fun of
us, we are being invaded by illegals, we are becoming a nation of
victims where every Tom, Ricardo, and Hasid is a special group with
special rights to a point where we don't even recognize the country
we were born and raised in; "AND WE JUST WANT IT FIXED" and Trump
is the only guy who seems to understand what the people want.
     We're sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic Party, Repub-
lican Party, and sick of illegals. We just want this thing fixed.
Trump may not be a saint, but he doesn't have lobbyist money holding
him, he doesn't have political correctness restraining him, all you
know is that he has been very successful, a good negotiator, he has
built a lot of things, and he's also not a politician, he's not a
cowardly politician. And he says he'll fix it.
     And, we believe him because he is too much of an egotist to be
proven wrong or looked at and called a liar. Also, we don't care if
the guy has bad hair. We just want those raccoons gone, out of our
house, NOW.
     You are welcome to pass this on. I feel this is why thousands
of people who haven't voted in 25 years are getting involved.
     The raccoons have got to go.*

	The American people are being robbed, conned, brainwashed,
lied to every day by the Media, President, DOJ, Congress, RINOs,
and virtually every Democrat, and those from both parties that are
too gullible to seek the truth, facts, and too lazy to verify any-
thing they hear due to a lack of morals, ethics, faith, patriotism,
and desire to know how badly they are being screwed by a group of
unelected czars that have been planning this takeover for decades.
     We have to find a way to unite and work together to take back
our once great nation from those damned raccoons.
     I pray that God will rescue us from the evil that has taken
over America.

   Conservatively,
   John
  
 

 	**Voter Fraud More Widespread Than Some Think
     Fred Lucas / January 11, 2024

     The 2020 election involved a criminal voter fraud scheme with
mass absentee ballots and phony voter registrations, according to
the Justice Department and the New Jersey attorney general.
     This verdict and indictment happened in 2023. Prosecutors in
Massachusetts and New York brought election fraud charges in the
closing weeks of December.
     The Justice Department secured a guilty verdict against a
congressional candidate’s spouse—Kim Phuong Taylor—from a federal
jury in November in Sioux City, Iowa, on 52 counts regarding
causing absentee ballots to be fraudulently requested and cast that
occurred in two elections.
     Kim Taylor’s husband, Jeremy Taylor, ran unsuccessfully in the
2020 Republican primary for the U.S. House of Representatives in
Iowa’s 4th Congressional District, then ran successfully in the
general election to be reelected as a Woodbury County supervisor.
     In late October, New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin
announced that Paterson City Council President Alex Mendez is facing
more charges in his election fraud case stemming from a 2020 race.
Mendez was previously indicted in 2021 regarding actions in the
election.
     The Attorney General’s Office alleges Mendez personally col-
lected ballots and oversaw the fraudulent mailing of ballots while
members of his campaign stole ballots from residential mailboxes
and discarded several that did not cast a vote for their candidate.
Mendez had three co-conspirators, prosecutors said.
     As explained in my book “The Myth of Voter Suppression,” elec-
tion fraud cases are more easily detectable in some states than
others. And far too often, remedies to curb absentee ballot fraud
are unfairly smeared.
     Some high-profile stories have prompted Democratic politicians
and much of the media to trot out their talking point that voter
fraud is a farce. Another talking point is that those rascally red
states are prosecuting election fraud cases as a means to infringe
on voting rights.
     But in the last quarter of 2023, related indictments or ad-
judicated court cases occurred in various states.
     On Dec. 21 in Lawrence, Massachusetts, City Councilor-elect
Fidelina Santiago and an ally were indicted on charges including
illegal voting, conspiracy to vote illegally, and obstruction of
voting, CBS affiliate WBZ-TV in Boston reported. The charges,
brought by Essex County District Attorney Paul Tucker, stem from
the November 2023 election after first being reported by Massa-
chusetts Secretary of State William Galvin’s office.
     Also, just days before Christmas in Queens, New York, a
32-year-old man was indicted on charges of casting 20 falsified
absentee ballots in the Democratic primary in 2022, Fox News re-
ported. Queens County District Attorney Melinda Katz emphasized:
“Every vote has to count. Election integrity is the foundation of
a viable, working democracy.”
     The Queens man faces 140 charges. Beyond casting fake ballots,
prosecutors say he obtained approval for 32 out of 118 ballot
applications.
     Among the most high-profile cases is one in Bridgeport, Con-
necticut, where some of the alleged fraud from the Democratic
mayoral primary in September seemed to have been caught on camera.
This led Mayor Joe Ganim—who served time for a previous public
corruption conviction when he was mayor about two decades earlier
—to accept full responsibility, WSHU-TV reported.
     Ganim, however, said he wasn’t aware that a Democratic oper-
ative was stuffing ballots into a drop box outside Bridgeport City
Hall and caught on camera in the act. A state judge tossed Ganim’s
primary victory a week before the November general election, cal-
ling the evidence of fraud “shocking.”
     A Texas state appeals court overturned the result of a Laredo
City Council race, ruling that Ricardo Rangel Jr. was the rightful
winner of a 2022 election. This came after the alleged involvement
of city police officers in casting illegal votes, the Laredo Mor-
ning Times reported.
     These legal cases highlight how voter fraud can be committed,
emphasizing the critical need for robust laws on election integrity.
     The prosecutions and convictions brought within the past three
months—ranging from illegal voting and ballot tampering to fraud-
ulent registration—underscore the vulnerabilities in the electoral
system.
     As these cases unfold, they also underscore the importance of
continuous efforts to strengthen election laws and protect the vote
as we move into 2024—enabling us to safeguard the democratic found-
ations of the United States.
This commentary originally was published by the DC Journal**

     There have been numerous examples appearing recently that will
expose several Democrats who have been indicted, charged, and tried
for voter fraud like the 4 million illegal ballots harvested in
Illinois. Over 300K votes in 2020 were missing or deleted from the
voter data before the retention period ended. Over a 4 year period
while the population shrank by 150K, the voter roll increased by
650K. 2.5 Million people had votes cast prior to the registration
date. There were more than 4 million registration violations out of
8.9 million registrations.
     This is just one of many states that have exposed voter fraud
across the nation in just the last 2 elections not including the
GA issues with their run-off elections and primaries.
     We are certainly a nation in decline ruled by a group of
unelected czars that run our country and the administration.
     We deserve better no matter which party you are being used by.
     But God will save our nation.

  Conservatively,
  John

	The Pig Pen
        I copied this but it's something to ponder!
We are headed here! 
     This is NOT a joke. Just something to think about.
You will appreciate the final statement.
     There was a professor in a large college that had some
exchange students in the class.
     One day while the class was in the lab, the professor
noticed one young man, an exchange student, who kept rubbing
his back and stretching as if his back hurt.
     The professor asked the young man what was the matter.
     The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back.
He had been shot while fighting Communists in his native
country who were trying to overthrow his country's government
and install a new communist regime.
     In the midst of his story, he looked at the professor and
asked a strange question. He asked: "Do you know how to catch
wild pigs?"
     The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the
punch line.
     The young man said that it was no joke. "You catch wild
pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn
on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come every day to
eat the free food.
     When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence
down one side of the place where they are used to coming.
     When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the
corn again and you put up another side of the fence.
     They get used to that and start to eat again.
     You continue until you have all four sides of the fence
up with a gate in the last side.
     The pigs, which are used to the free corn, start to come
through the gate to eat that free corn again.
     You then slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd.
     Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run
around and around inside the fence, but they are caught.
     Soon they go back to eating the free corn they are so
used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods
for themselves, so they accept their captivity."
     The young man then told the professor that is exactly
what he sees happening in America & Canada.
     The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/ Social-
ism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of pro-
grams such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned
income, tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies,
payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare entitlements,
medicine, drugs, etc., while we continually lose our freedoms,
just a little at a time.
        One should always remember two truths:
     There is no such thing as a free lunch, and you can never
hire someone to provide a service for you cheaper than you can
do it yourself.
     If you see that all of this wonderful government "help"
is a problem confronting the future of democracy in America &
Canada, you might want to share this with your friends.
     If you think the free ride is essential to your way of
life, then you will probably not share this.
     BUT, God help us all when the gate slams shut!
     Quote for today: "The problems we face today are there
because the people who work for a living are now outnumbered
by those who vote for a living."
     A thought to remember, Marx said, "Remove one freedom
per generation and soon you will have no freedom and no one
would have noticed."**
     Look up the Cloward-Piven strategy and then Saul Alinsky's
book "Rules for Radicals" both are from the late 1960s and
do the math. 
     This started with Karl Marx back in 1883 with the Com-
munist Manifesto. 
     The loss of one freedom a generation since 1883 was
about 7-8 generations.
     There are 8 C-P Strategies and 12 Alinsky rules which
if you read them you will see how familiar they are.
     We took God out of schools, 
     They created Obamacare
     They have driven up poverty
     Increased the national debt
     Trying to take away guns
     Driven millions on to welfare
     They have taken over the education of K-College
     Attacked the religions of millions
     And have divided people by class or race
        And so many sit back and nod their clueless heads.
     I suggest you all become part of the solution and not be
part of the problem.
      May God intervene for us all.
   Conservatively,
   John
