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.

The White Supremicist Lie

De-platform, cancel "culture," white supremacists being compared loosely to Conservative thought leaders:  if Fascism had a face, it would look like the Democrat Party and culture today.  The hypocrisy is dangerous, it is anything but "unifying," and Conservatives will continue to speak truth to power as long as we have breath.  If you still believe that the Democrat Party is "doing the right thing," you are being brainwashed, in my opinion.  There is no White Supremacist movement in the U.S. today that has any strength.  That is the biggest, most prominent lie of the moment, and the other BIG lie of the moment is that this election was free and fair.  The statistics alone are troublesome and we WILL question it, Fakebook, so you won't likely hear from me again on this platform (THINK about that). though I have chosen to publish this on my Blog.  Perhaps a condescending Liberal out there would care to point out where the violence is in this blog post.  So, ask yourself, is it a free country when Parler has been de-platformed for MUCH less than Twitter itself allows, and a CEO of a trillion dollar company can say that a major Conservative outlet, IN HIS OPINION, can be "removed" from Apple Store (which is clearly a monopoly) for "promoting violence," when examples are MYRIAD of violent entries on Facebook, Twitter, etc.  They are lying to you and muzzeling free speech.  We have arrived in Orwell's 1984 a little less than 40 years after its predicted date.  Europeans who value freedom are seeing our country fall and mourning its loss.  Reach out a little, Liberals, and see what your power structure has wrought.  Are you so afraid of counter opinions that you can have no opposition?  Do you destroy your opposition by de-funding, de-platforming and "canceling?"  Is this what you believe in?  Rule #12 in Alinsky's Rules for Radicals (these people need a 12 step program, apparently, they can't just write letters or call their Senators like the rest of us), it states that: "Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)"  This has been the strategy since 19 minutes into the Trump Presidency.  For my Never-Trumper friends, they used you mercilessly as the basis for their plan, so give that some thought.  And now they have no emergency brake on their behavior, so they created the White Supremicist-Led violence at the Capitol (which was .000003% of the million people march and I believe we will find, though it will not be reported, that Antifa & BLM agitators likely egged-on some emotional folks who would not otherwise be violent), and they will now conflate this event (20,000 troops
in the Capitol, to hold back who?  Who are they scared of?  Peace-loving Americans, apparently) with Conservative thought leaders.  It's already being discussed by vicious little radicals on CNN. Watch for the words, "debunked," "white-supremicist," "violent opposition," "radical right."  None of these words describe people I know or follow, in fact those who I listen to condemned violence, just like they did all summer, to a person.  But they have their Big Lie now and they will beat it into the ground until you might start to believe that Conservatives are white supremacist, violent, radicals though we are all around you, living our lives in peace.  I appeal now to those Liberals with moral fortitude to join us in the fight against censorship.  It may not be your side that is being suppressed or censored now, but if you have read any books about life in the Soviet Union under Socialist rule, they come after everybody in the end and it was the sympathizers that were the most surprised by despotism and authoritarian rule.  We have come fully now to the edge of reason in America and we should carefully examine our principles so that we are prepared to resist authoritarian rule.  Trump was not a fascist, authoritarian, or anything  of the sort.  That was the lie they sold you.  What you have voted for and now support?  That is the fascist Dictatorship you have so long accused us of.  I welcome your awakening and hope that it happens soon. 

Thoughts from an Angry Conservative

On the day the Capitol was breached by a mob of Antifa rioters who had managed to rile up some angry Republicans, I wrote, "I hope They Burn the Capitol to the Ground,"  That was my anger talking, never a good thing.  It was a metaphorical burning to the ground in my mind, but some people don't know that and thought leaders must be careful when they are emotional, especially me.  

My question to the Left and especially to those on the Right who correctly condemned the violence is, "When will it be OK to burn the Capitol to the ground?"  Dead Serious.  The next day, Twitter banned President Trump.  This is Soviet-style censorship, the beginnings, or maybe even the full jump into Orwellian life, but once again, the leaders on the Right roundly condemn violence.  It doesn't need to be said that the leaders on the Left do no such thing because it is considered factual, a priori, that the Left does not condemn violence.  Some Liberal thought leaders will, but those on the Left, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, George Soros, they will not, and they will fund it as well.  

So, the difference is clear, the moral high ground belongs to the Right.  Show me a Right wing leader that did not condemn the violence, in Congress, in the Senate, in the talk radio world, show me that person.  Yet, you can visit many sites that have compilations of Leftist leaders encouraging violence.  Point for me.

The censorship is just the beginning.  This censorship is now accepted as part of Liberal life.  It's perfectly OK to shut down the Dan Bongino show, or any one of the conservatives who ALL, to a person, condemned violent protests.  Let me say that again, it is perfectly OK with our Liberal Left to shut down speech by those they do not agree with.  Think about that.  If the Right did that, they would be seen as extremists, wouldn't they?  So, I ask again, when is it OK to burn down the Capitol?  And what I mean by that is, when is violent protest OK?  Never?  Will it be OK when Conservatives lose their jobs in government offices?  Will it be OK when lists are made of Conservatives and they are targeted by the Left for destruction?  Or will it finally be OK when conservatives are being rounded up, taken on busses to re-education camps and either tortured or killed for their beliefs?  You don't think that can happen here?  Well, it will be more difficult bc the people of Cambodia and the Soviet Union, Poland, Venezuela, etc., didn't have guns, but we just witnessed the beginning steps in the great  totalitarian experiment.  Soon, radio will no longer have voices on the Right, Bill Maher will actually admit that his party is out of control, the electoral college will be removed, and the Leftist utopia will be installed.  The suppression of Right wing thought complete, they will rule mercilessly.  No?  What happened in Venezuela?  Nothing of interest?  

When will we have to fight with real bullets?  I want to ask that question logically, because no one else is asking.  I want us to think carefully about what it takes to preserve our Republic because I don't want us to be taken by surprise again.  

We were not prepared for infiltrators.  We were thinking we could get 1,000,000 people together and what, "show them?"  Yes, show them that we are here, that we don't believe the election count was fair or accurate.  

I will stipulate that Joe Biden won, but he won by cheating and that, in my eyes, makes him an illegitimate President.  This time though, unlike with the Russia Collusion Hoax which has been thoroughly shown to be a lie in many great books, he won by changing voting laws unconstitutionally, controlling Dominion Systems software, and controlling counts in big, unruly city voting arenas.  Touche.

We were not prepared for the Left when they shut down our meager efforts to publicize the fraud and we were not prepared for the reaction we would get in the legal system in this country, and we should have been.  In hindsight, we were naive.

I ask about violence because there are millions of people who think this might be the time.  I hope we have a peaceful way through this, but there are people who are starting to plan, to escape tyranny, to fight tyranny, or to resist tyranny, and my question is not intended to rile, but to be real, and to be prepared.  They will come for our guns next.  They care little for our Right to Bear Arms, but it keeps many crazy things from happening that we are an armed populice.  

When, then, seriously, is it OK to use violence to protect our rights and our Republic?  It is a serious question and it needs a serious answer because I will not see my fellow man being led to re-education camps or gas chambers and those things are not impossible to imagine from the Left.

Conservatives and Love

Conservatism has always and will always be a philosophy underwritten by love of country, love of Liberty, and an entrepreneurial spirit.  The Left has characterized us as the Party of Hate, but what I have found to be true after 40 years of political observation is that the Left strategically labels Conservatives with what it, the Left, IS.  

The hatred the Left has for those who love their country, care about their communities, and support our Constitution is palpable.  Not a minute did the Left give our President before the hatred started.  They hated so hard and so long that you could feel it vibrating in their speech.  And it continues now, only now it is hidden under the veneer of conciliatory speech and words like "harmony" and "peace."  

Trump said he would have happily returned to Florida and enjoyed his retirement if he had lost the election.  I believe him.  Conservatives are believers in fair play, integrity, honesty, hard work, and justice runs through all of those things.  But that's where we draw the line.  If we think you cheated to win, if the statistics are questionable (it's actually difficult to cheat on a grand scale; you have to be careful not to let too many votes go one way or another or you get spikes in the data streams like the ones we see at 2 a.m. in GA in the district where the counting went on unobserved), we will fight.  

We know there are swamp creature Republicans out there who don't share our principles, and they will soon be asked to leave the party, but the Conservative base will fight with every tool at our disposal for justice.  We will not give up, we will not give in, and we will not play nice with those who cheat should they get their hands on the reigns of power.  We will fight within our system of laws, we will use civil disobedience, and we will write.  We are so much bigger than the Left can possibly imagine.  

Some have not yet awoken to Conservatism, but the message is spreading and you can see the fear in the Left's strident reporting.  The more fearful they get, the stronger we get, so do not be sad, depressed, or down fellow Conservatives, we are Legion, and when awoken, we will be far stronger than those who are numb to our society's problems or ignorant to the Left's non-stop lies.  We are going to win the war; this is just the first battle.

The War is Joined: Call your Legislators NOW

In 2016, Politifact published an "analysis" of claims about voter fraud.  They came to a the conclusion that "claims about voter fraud are for the most part overblown or unfounded." The writer, Jon Greenberg, a forner NPR investigative reporter, went on to attack then candidate Trump's Tweet, " Of course there is large scale voter fraud happening on and before election day. Why do Republican leaders deny what is going on? So naive!"  Mr. Greenberg rated Trump's Tweet, "Pants on Fire," and presently, more of the same.  Enter, Sydney Powel, former Federal Prosecutor and author of, "Licensed to Lie," where she uncovered the destruction of Enron by the alphabet agencies in our corrupt government.

Sydney, it seems, has found the method of the cheating, the madness of it, and is now on her way to the Supreme Court to prove it.  Call your legislators NOW folks, because we will be determining this Presidential election in the House of Representatives.  Get your delegation to commit to vote the will of the people, or we will end up with the party that cheated to begin with.

We will have justice in the United States of Sydney Powel because, BY GOD, she said so and I'm on her side.  I wouldn't care who won the election if it were not manipulated by Smartmatic Software company.  No one would!  We believe in winning and losing fairly in this country, or, at least Conservatives do.  Liberals, it seems, are a little more shaky on this subject.  Some don't care and some do, but generally, I believe, that this country prefers its winners to actually have won.

Covid 19 may raise its ugly head here, but we will battle through that den of monsters to end up before the Supreme Court where each and every justice will have to grapple with the same outrageous evidence of cheating being brought forth by the honorable Sydney Powel.  if someone doesn't nominate her to the Supreme Court, I will be disappointed, though I'm not sure she'd take it.  God help us because we are going to need some divine intervention.  Perhaps God has already sent us Ms. Powel.  Now we must be smart enough to listen to her.

Systemic Stupidity: Preparing for the Fight

As the mechanics of our society grind slowly to life after Covid shut-downs, I look at the hives of activity and wonder at our way of life.  We live in a suburban small city in Western Montana, a University town with several small tech companies, a Direct TV Call Center, a few small manufacturers making enclosed trailers, dental equipment, and spas.  We have one of the better music venues on the Clark Fork River where we saw the B-52s last summer under the Big Sky.  We have a traditionally Liberal city council with two lone Conservatives, as you might expect in a university town, and the surrounding rural counties are great plains of conservatism surrounding the den of bears who buy run-down hotels for 40% over their value claiming they need a place for homeless Covid patients, turn private water companies into public utilities and allow health officials wide authority to limit business hours of operation, require its population to wear masks, all while claiming authority using a law that in its verbiage requires them to also remove vagrants and vagrant communities who all live happily untouched at an encampment on the Clark Fork River where they undoubtedly use the river to carry away garbage and excrement to areas downstream that they will never see.  We may never see it, but it seeps into our environment bringing dangers, I believe, far greater than breathing at others sans a mask.

People who care show up to comment at meetings where their grievances are largely ignored and the council goes merrily on its way increasing taxes where they can and making plans for more.  Most business owners, like mine, are looking for ways to leave our fair city, if they can, and move their operations to counties that still believe that there is a limit to effective taxation.  Though it has been proven time and again that people will avoid taxation by voting with their feet, our council has not an entrepreneurial bone in their body and they will continue to tax, and spend, like their is no tomorrow.  This microcosm of our federal bureaucracy is a wonderful example of the body politic and the difficulty Conservatives have in penetrating the Liberal mindset once established and ensconced in the chamber of local power.  

You'd think the Chamber of Commerce might provide a bulwark of protection against the Liberal behemoth, but though they warned local businesses against the Sign Laws introduced in the 1990s by the Liberal donor class pushing Agenda 21, there wasn't an outcry sufficient to push back against these "regulations" that seek Visual Beauty and defy common sense, so I found myself arguing with a sign Nazi about what 25% of window "space" meant when she had decided it meant window "pane."  She looked blank when I suggested that if we installed New England style windows with 8"×10" panes that I would then be forced to buy hundreds of 2"×3" signs for each "pane."  As she measured my Snowman sign and window pane in front of my customer, we both eyed the sky and wished for a simpler time.  

Our latest societal upheaval comes from the Left, no great shock there.  We are seeing middle-income white women bashing white men on behalf of black America.  Rush Limbaugh believes that our universities have indoctrinated women to believe that men are out to get them, and, if they are not beautiful, society will discriminate against them.  I thought, "No, women are smarter than that."  But I was wrong.  He was right, and I should know better than to question his wisdom after 30 years.  While I go about my daily life, running my business, making phone calls to my suppliers, dealing with customers and doing my bookkeeping, I have never thought that men suppressed me or discriminated against me due to my sex.  I also don't care what color skin my customers, suppliers, or anyone I deal with have or do not have.  Ah, but I am beautiful, so I don't have to worry about such things.  I do have a lazy eye, white freckle skin, and grayish-red thin hair, but I am genetically blessed with a combination of a Scottish father and German mother, and, of course, the kicker, I am white.  Almost too white.

What I know for certain though is that I do not live in a society that is rife with systemic racism.  Our local YWCA has a strong campaign against racism and very effectively pushes that message out to a largely accepting public who secretly think, "what racism?"  I suppose that there may be some racism against our Indian population in Montana and maybe that is what they fight against, but even our Indian customers are treated, in my store, with the same respect that I treat any white cowboy.  I cannot imagine frequenting a store that treated anyone differently than anyone else because of skin color or sexual orientation.  Now, that does not apply, in my book, to idiots and stupid people and we find those of all races, creeds and colors, so take that out of the equation right now.  

I heard an interesting explanation by Dennis Prager of the Leftist need to "solve" problems.  Mr. Prager posits that the Left in this country are not happy with peace.  They need something to gripe about because they are bored.  He blames this on the movement of the Left away from organized religion, and that may be true, but I believe that his idea that lack of spirituality breeds discontent has merit.  I am not a fan of revealed religion, but I don't hate it and I believe that our society is better off with the 10 commandments than without them.  I support those around me who love their churches and their congregations and I went with my Mom to her Orthodox Church for many years because I loved the music and the art that they bring to religious practice.  I choose to worship God in my own way and I have read every book that C.S. Lewis has ever written.  He made, by far, the best argument for Christianity that I have read, yet I still prefer to find God in my own way.  But I love peace.  I love it so much that I am willing to buy and store guns in order to defend it.  Yes, that may seem a contradiction to some, but peace is worth fighting and dying for in my book.

It may be that time to defend peace.  The Left is working hard to break our lovely society and I don't know what our fight will look like.  It may come in the courts defending against voter fraud, and it may come in the streets defending against organized Leftists who seek to disrupt our city centers.  But when the fight comes to small town Montana, we will be ready.  If you disrupt our idyllic life, you will pay with yours.  I feel very strongly about that, so take care, BLM, I am not alone.  If you bring your violence any further into small town America, you will meet with a fierceness that you have not yet faced.  We love our peace, and we will defend it both against fraud and destruction.  I love my little town and I love even its Liberal people, and if you threaten us here, it will look different.  We will never let you destroy our lives, so fair warning.  I sincerely hope the Left will simply give up, go back to their lives and let us run the country correctly with low taxation, less government and adherence to Constitutional Principles.  That sounds almost as idyllic as my little town and its hives of activity.  Unlike our Leftist friends, however, I don't believe utopia exists here on earth and so I prepare for the fight.

One who believes otherwise
