It has only been one year since the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.  Whether intended or not it was a pivotal moment in world events.  For the United States to manage such a debacle after years of occupation, the stockpiling of weapons and vehicles and the construction of one of the most capable airbases on earth, was shattering to America’s reputation.  There are stories of our modern weaponry being sold to the highest bidder on the international arms market.  Lots of it.  That debacle alone casts the U. S. in a weak light, and every would-be enemy on earth took note.  

Now every rotten actor is on the rampage.  They probably watched that reprehensible speech last night and gleaned accurately that the president is involved in an emotional war with the country he’s supposed to represent.  The Marines, at ease, were silhouetted at the flanks to tell us what?  That this angry old man can enforce his mental illness with military might?  He’s at war with those ultra-maga people who are a threat to our democracy!  Really?  That’s the problem?

Insanity reigns on television and the internet.  Conventional wisdom says much that’s just not true.  We’ve got agencies, seemingly out of control while they wield anti-American power and then don’t bother to explain themselves.  You wouldn’t understand anyway.

We’re supposed to ignore inconsistencies in logic, and believe the mainstream no matter what.  The people in charge have it all figured out.  Apparently they’re going to wait until after the mid-terms to announce Donald Trump’s indictment.  For three years they’ve made false accusations for which they’ve never apologized and now this? Anchors sneered at “deniers” of all stripes.  Notice how many “deniers” there are?  Years ago the only time you heard the word was in connection with the holocaust  and that came with anti-Semitic baggage.  Let’s just say it carried a mighty negative connotation. 

If you’re a denier, you must be bad, wrong, even evil.  So now we’ve got climate change deniers and election deniers, and probably holocaust deniers!  They’re all bad, all terribly misguided and probably a threat to democracy.  That’s the phrase now, you hear it everywhere sometimes with a lisp.  

It’s official.  If you love the United States and want to salvage our traditions and laws you must be some kind of terrorist, or a denier of some sort.  If you don’t agree with gender transitions, global warming, and Donald Trump being the worst traitor, document mishandling criminal the world has ever seen, you’re a threat to democracy.  He condemned Trump supporters as the greatest national danger.  It took him less than 24 hours to walk it back, and he did.  Too late.  You don’t suppose somebody pointed out the folly of calling half the country a danger to democracy?

The Texas governor, Gregg Abbott is sending busloads of illegal aliens to New York, and now Chicago.  The mayors couldn’t be happier.  Well, maybe they could if they could figure out who’s going to pay for all the hotel rooms and food.  But they’re welcoming, while calling our governor a racist for sending illegals up there.  How dare he?!?  Meanwhile, they’re just happy to have them.  Good.  

Whatever you do, don’t use your head.  That will get you labeled if not banned.  Suddenly you’re an idiot if you don’t buy what the mainstream is selling.  Count me in.  

We can’t believe California, or its governance could get any more ridiculous.  Stand by.  Not only are they outlawing internal combustion cars, but the grid is overloaded.  So, please don’t charge your electric cars between the hours of…  

It’s looking likely that the political power that demands the people of the world worship their false system is probably going to be saving the planet.  If it becomes a global movement, look out.  We’re already being called a bunch of names if we don’t support things we know are condemned in the Word of God.   Already the technology firms do the government’s bidding.  They’ll decide what is and isn’t fit for human consumption.  Never mind that they’ve been wrong on critical subjects.  If something violates the mainstream narrative, it must be racist, homophobic, climate denial or Covid misinformation. We’ve got larger concerns.  We don’t go by their rules.
