Nuclear Winter

The reticence to project power because of fear of Russian nuclear reprisal by my favorite Conservative commentators (Bongino, Kelly) surprises me.  Maybe because I grew up in the generation before them, I am more resigned to the end of our world via nuclear destruction.  But I know that I wouldn't stand by as innocent, freedom loving people who less than two weeks ago were living peacefully are now are on the edge of annihilation.  It's probably good that I am not in charge because there would have been no build up on the Ukranian border.  THAT was the time for sanctions, not now when there is a genocide taking place.  Now is the time that WE drop a bomb on Moscow and to hell with his nuclear arsenal which probably doesn't work anyways.  In fact, I would have mobilized most of our army and marines, just to keep them sharp and get them out of "woke" classes where they learn acceptable pronouns; but my main assault would have been airforce.  I would have used drones to wipe out troops all the way into Crimea, then I would have brought in the clean-up crew.  

But instead, Putin will now own a piece of land that he will have to populate because he's killed all the civilians.  I hope he chokes on it.  And we will all be in no less danger than before with a madman still in control of Nukes.  How is that the correct decision?  

We will defend NATO but not Ukraine?  What difference is there between these two scenarios if Putin is not scared of us at all?  He will March through Poland and re-take Germany and we will all shiver and shake that he might use nuclear weapons?  That has always been a risk!  He might set them off accidentally, for Christ's Sake!  We LIVE in a world that will likely end in nuclear winter!  Some of us have been prepared all our lives for this eventuality.  I for one, am not willing to sacrifice a bunch of Orthodox Christians due to fear of nuclear reprisal.  I don't care.  We live within that world of fear and I am not willing to sacrifice entire populations because of that fear.  Sorry, Dan Bongino, Sorry Jesse Kelly, but we cannot live in fear of nuclear destruction.  MAD is supposed to allow us to make decisions free from  that fear.  If he launches nuclear missiles, Russia will no longer exist because we will destroy it, and it is my contention that we will be in a better place without Putin than with him even if we have to nuke Russia and risk being nuked ourselves.  I am not afraid.  You should not be afraid either.

You both are in places where you'll fry immediately.  We live in a place where we may survive the horrors, so I'm a little envious, but I am not scared.  If we run this world from a position of fear, we will always lose.  In fact, we may as well hand the US over to the Communists right now because with this President, we will project only fear and appeasement.  Why bother?  Just invite them in because if we are afraid now, we will be doubly afraid when he threatens Europe.  It is time to reject fear, trust in the Universe, thank God for many good years, and start acting like the Home of the Brave.

Do You Feel Uncomfortable?

As you watch the destruction of a Christian civil society by a madman, are you feeling a little "on edge," a little uncomfortable?  I know I am.  What is wrong with this wanton destruction and destabilization of Eastern Europe?  What should we be feeling as leaders in world civil society?  Damn crappy, that's what we should be feeling.  Why bother being the big military power in the world if we can't save a bunch of Ukranians from a madman?  Yeah, that's a tough one, but, of course, it has a little to do with current American leadership.  

Our Democrat political leadership is the wrong leadership at the wrong time to save Eastern Europe.  Oh, you think Putin just wants Ukraine?  No.  He wants all of Eastern Europe.  Hopefully, Ukraine will stick in his craw, but of he does manage to roll over Ukraine, and let's be clear, he has the firepower to do just that, he will set his sites on the remainder of Eastern Europe and I'm guessing, he'll take this opportunity in the form of weak American leadership to do just that.  NATO may gather itself in time to save Eastern Europe, you never know, miracles have happened, but if he's smart, he'll do it all before the US midterm elections when we may get a Senate and Congress with enough gumption to stop him.

Our response as a world is not about Ukraine, it's about all civil societies in our world in the sites of Communist dictators.  Taiwan, where I purchase at least 50% of my goods for sale is next.  In fact, it wouldn't surprise me one little bit if that invasion started tomorrow.  What will the response of the West be then?

We have exactly the wrong leadership at exactly the wrong time in world history and that they cheated to get there annoys the hell out of me.  What we've got, instead of clear-headed, unpredictable strength, is weak-minded, compromised, feckless, and dangerous leaders in both the White House and the military.  

While our military focuses on gender pronoun training (and the Communists are laughing their asses off, guarateed), we have ship fires that don't get reported for 10 minutes, collisions, infiltration by Muslim extremists and, in general, woke behavior from military leaders that will end up killing thousands of military enlisted.  But we'll make sure to call our Chinese captors by their correct pronouns.  

What an utter debacle we have in the US Military right now.  There is nothing worse than having a weak military in the face of naked aggression, but that is our current situation, so with the announcement yesterday of a contract on Zalinski's life by Russia, it may be time to do what we do best and send special forces in to take out Putin, or assist Ukraine in the operation.  Zalinski once told Biden that he didn't need a ride out of his country, he needed more weapons!  

Americans don't understand why this plucky gentleman would give up his life for his country because we've been teaching our children to hate our country for that last 30 years. This is what love of country looks like, Democrats.  It's admirable, and the world's reaction to this gentleman's courage speaks volumes about what courage inspires in the human heart. So, when that is crushed by a far superior force, what will we do?  Will we simply return to our comfortable lives and act as though everything is OK?  I hope not.

Locking the Front Door at Night

Every night, after my husband is already snoring, I carefully check that my front door deadbolt is set to locked, then I check the back door, usually feeling my way in the dark.  I don't live in a dangerous neighborhood, but I do live near the 93 corridor and from what I am reading, I might as well live on the southern border.  

Our country is our home.  We live here.  We go to stores, schools, parks, and sporting events, and in Montana, we hike and bike in our National Forests.  We protect our homes, from criminals, mixed up strangers, and the occasional sales person.  We have rules in our household.  People call before they arrive, we have a security system largely comprised of fire arms and we guard our home like the sanctuary it is.  If we didnt care, we'd leave the doors wide open, take the locks off the doors, and anyone and everyone could access our inner sanctuary.  But we do care, because we live here.  

Apparently, that same care we have for our home is not shared by the Biden administration.  We're now approaching 180,000 illegal immigrants from more than 140 countries that have entered our home since Jan 20, 2021.  These are people who do not share the love of country that we grew up with.  These are people who can now vote in Seattle, NYC, and other metropolitan areas.  A good percentage of these people are bringing fentanel or the will to sell it to our streets.  The homeless that fill our cities and towns are often the result.  

A sheriff in Texas described his experience w the current administration as if, on Jan 20, 2021, the Biden Administration left the room, turned off the lights and shut their minds to caring about our massive, porous southern border.  Where this sherrif had visited the White House and met w Trump more than 10 times during the past 4 years, where Trump had personally asked him what he needed to keep Americans safe, where the Trump administration had asked for advice about the ability to do the job, in direct contrast, the new administration shut off the lights, left the door wide open, and left the room.  

Why should we care?  Well, honestly, I'm not sure anymore.  If 50% of this country thinks this is a good idea, maybe we should let the world in through the wide-open front door, because the Democrats sure as hell don't want to love and protect their own home anymore.  

Thank God for the intrepid men and women of the border patrol who have not given up.  Though dispirited, with no support from the Federal government, they continue to battle the mules, drug smugglers, human traffickers, and criminal element that is flooding into this country.  

They may not be living next to you, but take a good look around.  I listened to a bunch of gentlemen in Walmart the other day as they walked in a group around the store.  They were talking about what they could buy or not buy and then, I thought they were talking about clothing. The word is "ropa," but what they were saying was "roba," what they could steal.  We've given them a place to live in our tent city, now they will steal what they need. 

Will we continue to devalue our civil society to give Democrats more votes?  Probably.  Because Liberals in this country have taken the pill and they are buying the Democrat/Communist argument that these foreigners should be allowed to simply walk in our front door, enjoy the fruits of our labors and, hell, sit down in our favorite comfy chairs, raid the fridge and watch what they want on our TVs because what?  The Liberals feel sorry for them?  Screw that.  

It's time to fight for our way of life.  It's time to use our voices to protect our homes.  Because if we don't use our voices now, we'll be using our guns later.
