A Plan for Peace

The Plan -

"I see a lot of people yelling for peace but I have not heard of a plan for peace. So, here's one plan":

1) 'The US, UK , CANADA and AUSTRALIA will apologize to the world for our 'interference' in their affairs, past & present. You know, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega, Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of those 'good 'ole' boys', we will never 'interfere' again.

2) We will withdraw our troops from all over the world, starting withGermany , South Korea , the Middle East, and the Philippines . They don't want us there. We would station troops at our borders. No one allowed sneaking through holes in the fence.

3) All illegal aliens have 90 days to get their affairs together and leave. We'll give them a free trip home. After 90 days the remainder will be gathered up and deported immediately, regardless of whom or where they are from. They're illegal!!! France will welcome them.

4) All future visitors will be thoroughly checked and limited to 90 days unless given a special permit!!!! No one from a terrorist nation will be allowed in. If you don't like it there, change it yourself and don't hide here. Asylum would never be available to anyone. We don't need any more cab drivers or 7-11 cashiers.

5) No foreign 'students' over age 21. The older ones are the bombers. If they don't att end classes, they get a 'D' and it's back home baby.

6) The US, UK , CANADA and AUSTRALIA will make a strong effort to become self-sufficient energy wise. This will include developing non-polluting sources of energy but will require a temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan wilderness. The caribou will have to cope for a while.



7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil producing countries $10 a barrel for their oil. If they don't like it, we go someplace else. They can go somewhere else to sell their production. (About a week of the wells filling up the storage sites would be enough.)



8) If there is a famine or other natural catastrophe in the world, we will not 'interfere..' They can pray to Allah or whomever, for seeds, rain, cement or whatever they need. Besides most of what we give them is stolen or given to the army.. The people who need it most get very little, if anything.

9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an isolated island someplace. We don't need the spies and fair weather friends here. Besides, the building would make a good homeless shelter or lockup for illegal aliens.

10) All Americans must go to charm and beauty school. That way, no one can call us 'Ugly Americans' any longer. The Language we speak is ENGLISH...learn it...or LEAVE. Now, isn't that a winner of a plan?
The Statue of Liberty is no longer saying 'Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses.' She's got a baseball bat and she's yelling, 'you want a piece of me?'

A Legacy of Hate, Race, Division and Discord

A Legacy of Hate, Race, Division and Discord

I find it amusing Donald Trump is routinely derided as “divisive” and hateful when his predecessor set race relations back by 50 years and weakened/disparaged America at nearly every opportune moment. For those rabid critics who “misremember”, it was Barack Obama who mocked middle-America voters as bitter, small town xenophobes needlessly clinging to their guns and bibles. If I may, when did supporting the Second Amendment, LEGAL immigration and honoring our nation’s founding Judeo-Christian values become a radical concept? And yet it was under his explicit direction the IRS admitted to singling out businesses and community organizations that identified as conservative, patriotic or even Christian. Yes, once again, nothing remotely discriminatory here. Why again did Homeland Security place proud, law-abiding citizens on the Terror Watch list by declaring “liberty lovers” as America’s greatest terrorist threat…in a country predicated upon liberty and amidst the horrific aftermath of 9/11, no less? The same government operatives who never punished Islamic businesses over their marriage beliefs and ignored the terror radicalization occurring within American mosques, harassed Hobby Lobby and Catholic churches for refusing to provide birth control or insurance coverage for abortions; a procedure that violated their faith and religious freedoms. Still not convinced yet? Of course not.

As much as Obama’s election was a watershed moment in American history, his proclivity for racial discord has been exponentially greater. He immediately politicized the cases of Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and Freddie Gray, with little regard for the evidence or their criminal records, resulting in riots, destruction of property and further loss of life. Sadly, the former President made no such emotional tributes or pleas for justice after 25 year-old NYPD officer Brian Wilson was shot in the head or when Kathryn Steinle was murdered in San Francisco on July 1, 2015 by an illegal immigrant with seven felony convictions. In response, Democrats publicly vowed to save Sanctuary cities. Barack Obama sent sizable delegations to the funerals of all three black males, personally and very publicly mourned the passing of each individual, but failed to even mention the tragic death of American sniper Chris Kyle in February of 2013. Rather, the White House issued a statement commemorating the death of Whitney Houston later that same month. When you’re busy bribing millions of minorities with free “Obama phones” using taxpayer money, who has the time for such colorblind statesmanship, or better yet, basic human empathy?

Anytime a sitting Commander-in-Chief plays golf during the funeral of General Harold Greene – the highest ranking service member killed in combat since Vietnam – no imagination is required to decipher his true loyalties.  Mr. Obama’s incessant race-based rhetoric eventually gave rise to militant groups like Black Lives Matter and AntiFa, but more profoundly incited a partisan war on police which triggered an unprecedented wave of assassinations against law enforcement; including 5 officers gunned down in Dallas, Texas. Instead of bringing a troubled nation together, one increasingly fractured by his cynicism, anger and clear racial favoritism, he was content praising Colin Kaepernick for his “courageous” decision to kneel during the national anthem only a few months following the traumatic bloodshed. The same man who illuminated the White House in LGBT colors to spike the proverbial football of social justice, found no such nerve to honor those fallen officers murdered in cold blood while serving their communities.  

Not to question the unifying theme of “Cops are Pigs” socks worn by a celebrated racist athlete, but did Barry ever condemn a single case of police brutality regarding a white, Hispanic, or Asian victim, justified or not, let alone publicly decry (without media coverage) a single cop murdered by a drug dealer or due to a violent suspect resisting arrest? No? I guess we should just be satisfied the media’s former Uniter-in-Chief spent hundreds of billions providing for and protecting illegals while our veterans slept in the streets or died waiting for inadequate medical care. Does it even matter the Obama administration denied the request and visa applications of countless Christians attempting to flee oppression in the Middle East and Indonesia in favor of  transporting thousands of improperly vetted and/or tracked Muslim refugees into cities across America; many under the veil of night? After all, what American president  in their right mind wouldn’t honor tyrannical Cuba as a progressive state, green-light extremist Iran’s nuclear aspirations – a country that vows to annihilate America and Israel on a daily basis – in addition to sending a $400 million dollar ransom payment, attempt to illegally transfer $221 million to the militant Palestinian Authority just before leaving office, characterize the murderous exploits of ISIS as the amateur actions of a “JV team”, or dine with the racist leaders of la Raza and the Muslim Brotherhood?

Any offended critic claiming Donald Trump is the most racially divisive and inflammatory leader in recent memory, must have been completely oblivious, asleep or complicit to the toxic rhetoric and subversive dealings of Barack Obama. At no point in our 241 year history has the needle of American politics moved as far left as it did during the course of his 8 year tenure. In fact, if his Marxist upbringing and radical beliefs received the same level of media scrutiny and hostility as his successor, he never would have even been nominated. Unless I’m completely foreign to the true nature of division and discrimination, nearly all of those who benefited from Obama’s ill-conceived policies and personal associations were either non-white, non-Christian/Jewish, openly hostile towards America, or all of the above. Are we talking about an equitable, patriotic leader defending the interests of all people - most notably the survival and sovereignty of America - or a bitter, divisive bigot who despises America’s heritage with his every breath and still seeks atonement by judging everything through the prism of race and wealth distribution? Until everyone is held to the same standard of accountability, offered the same level of innate respect, racism, sexism, and all other forms of hate will endure unchecked; especially when such distinctions are now repeatedly wielded as weapons to attack any dissenting opinion. It’s just too bad so many supposedly “educated” men and women at the forefront of our national media, entertainment world and social activism no longer have the desire or the decency to admit the difference because they’re still too preoccupied crying over an election.

Actions have consequences

If athletes, the media and racial activists want to claim injustice and oppression at every conceivable turn, shout racism from every corner, so be it. But if they truly want to make a difference and invoke meaningful change for millions of our youth, then America needs to have an open, honest conversation about crime and the countless lives, both victims and perpetrators, being destroyed on a daily basis.  As someone who has friends from all walks of life, races, and economic dispositions, I’m by no means implying whites don’t commit crimes or that the prevalence of poverty, absentee parents, and a lack of education do not contribute to systemic, generational crime. Of course they do. And while it is not my intention to seem insensitive or haughty,  these statistics are so damning and unacceptable that we as a diverse, civilized society can no longer be afraid to speak uncomfortable truths simply because they may offend others. There is simply too much at stake. More than ever, this country and our inner cities need role models with an acute sense of accountability, community, not grandstanding athletes dedicated to publicity stunts or political vendettas that do nothing to address these failings or assuage the suffering of so many people. Giving children hope begins by giving them a sense of pride, moral obligation and an unbreakable belief in themselves that transcends all barriers or racial narratives. The intersection of crime and race is not a juvenile matter of screaming "I told you so", but a grave threat to the safety of our communities, the unity of this country and the future of all our loved ones.

There are dramatic race differences in crime rates. Asians have the lowest rates, followed by whites and then Hispanics. This pattern holds true for nearly every crime category and virtually all age groups. All statistics were provided by “The Color of Crime: 2016 Revised Edition” from Edwin Rubenstein of the New Century Foundation.

The evidence suggests that if there is police racial bias in arrests it is negligible. Victim and witness surveys show that police arrest violent criminals in close proportion to the rates at which criminals of different races commit violent crimes.

In 2013, a black was six times more likely than a non-black to commit murder, and 12 times more likely to murder someone of another race than to be murdered by someone of another race.

In 2013, of the approximately 660,000 crimes of interracial violence that involved blacks and whites, blacks were the perpetrators 85 percent of the time. This meant a black person was 27 times more likely to attack a white person than vice versa. A Hispanic was eight times more likely to attack a white person than vice versa.

If New York City were all white, the murder rate would drop by 91 percent, the robbery rate by 81 percent, and the shootings rate by 97 percent.

In an all-white Chicago, murder would decline 90 percent, rape by 81 percent, and robbery by 90 percent.

In 2015, a black person was 2.45 times more likely than a white person to be shot and killed by the police. A Hispanic person was 1.21 times more likely. These figures are well within what would be expected given race differences in crime rates and likelihood to resist arrest.

In 2015, police killings of blacks accounted for approximately 4 percent of homicides of blacks. Police killings of unarmed blacks accounted for approximately 0.6 percent of homicides of blacks. The overwhelming majority of black homicide victims (93 percent from 1980 to 2008) were killed by blacks.

Both violent and non-violent crime has been declining in the United States since a high in 1993. 2015 saw a disturbing rise in murder in major American cities that some observers associated with “depolicing” in response to intense media and public scrutiny of police activity.

Roughly 6-7% of black Americans, mainly males between the ages of 20-40, constitute 38% of the federal prison population and 35% of local jail inmates.

Truth, Fame and the American Flag

Disregard those excuses claiming Donald Trump's "divisive" rhetoric is to blame for all the conflict in America and turmoil in the sports world. This nonsense has been escalating since 2008 and he is one of the few high profile names who actually had the courage to expose their duplicity without mincing words. The truth is, despite all the partisan finger pointing and anthem publicity stunts, the President was embraced as a positive force of change by Democrats, Republicans, racial activists and even liberal Hollywood for over 30 years. He was a welcomed guest at their private soirees, regularly hosted celebrities/dignitaries at his hotels and resorts, won awards for his social philanthropy, was applauded for his random acts of kindness, appeared on nearly every syndicate talk show, garnered fans from all segments of society and routinely interacted with many of his most vocal critics from today on a first name basis. To suddenly proclaim he is the scourge of humanity is to condemn his newfound adversaries by their willing association and unmistakable admiration.

It wasn't until Trump announced his candidacy, or more profoundly when he actually won the presidency, that Democratic operatives and the media establishment viciously conspired to paint him as a racist, radical xenophobe who kicks puppies on Christmas and rapes women for entertainment. Before the man sought political office, he was never condemned as a white supremacist, let alone called a bigot or once questioned by police regarding a single, alleged sexual assault. These shameless tactics were nothing more than a desperate attempt to slander his name and cripple public support for the extensive change his populist reforms would inevitably bring.

Likewise, this entire National Anthem fiasco, which began long before his campaign ever ensued, simply gave those critics who already hated him and America to begin with but another platform to claim injustice beneath the public spectacle of "racism". Donald Trump is not responsible for the disproportionate amount of crime in urban America, the number of single parent households, the prevalence of drug abuse, a protected foreign workforce or a growing lack of respect for the law, America and our fellow man. That distinction overwhelmingly belongs to the incessant victimization narrative of pandering lawmakers who would rather collect a paycheck then demonstrate the competence and resolve necessary to exact meaningful, lasting change. Just because political opponents and ignorant athletes choose to believe such sensational propaganda, hardly makes it true or excuses coddled athletes for refusing to stand at attention for a mere 60 seconds before every game to honor the very country and those brave individuals who make our way of life possible; including those black Americans who fought in the Civil War and every subsequent war to protect this nation and secure freedom around the globe.

The American flag and the national anthem were never truly politically contentious until Marxist cultural terrorists sought out to destroy anything that conveyed patriotism or remotely honored America's "imperfect" heritage. The fact not a single American flag was initially visible at the 2016 Democratic national convention and their delegates successfully voted to exile God from their platform in 2012 before party leaders sought to quell public outrage, leaves little doubt as to the sheer level of radicalization that has destroyed the once proud party of JFK. As long as "We the People" posses faith in a higher power, a steadfast belief in a set of indelible ideals that supersede any man-made, oppressive state seeking to dictate every aspect of our lives, progressives know they can never fully achieve their goal of erecting a dependent, obedient populace that is more concerned with earthly pleasures, entitlements, than any virtuous calling that defines progress as the character of individual liberty.

The escalating racial discord and civil unrest engulfing America is hardly by accident, and by no means a coincidence, for it is a cultural coup of subversive design. The systematic unraveling of the traditional family unit, attacking our founding Judeo-Christian values and the increasingly crass and obscene behavior of violent activists are but a political means to an immoral end. As long as political agitators can hide behind false accusations of racism, homophobia and sexism as the media selectively reports the truth - immigration laws are cruel, only black lives killed by white cops matter, gay marriage will never legalize polygamy, gender conditioning is not child abuse, Obamacare is not an unmitigated failure, natural disasters are proof of unnatural global warming and patriotism is unchecked racial supremacy - they avoid having to engage in substantive debate, earnestly educating voters or being held accountable for their extremist views and endless litany of failures. Although freedom of speech and tolerance are always paramount, freedom from consequences and culpability are not human rights. They're cracks in the foundation of any evolved, self-aware society inviting tyranny, dysfunction and corruption to conceive under the same roof.

Because the modern left knows it cannot logically defend a majority of their claims, not to mention their "moralized" fascist tactics, they attempt to create a sensational distraction by which to permanently polarize the masses and demonize anyone who dares expose their hypocrisy. If the American flag and national anthem are the unrivaled enemies of the black community, generations of minorities who now claim to be the sole victims of mass injustice and unfairly oppressed despite ample opportunities and special accommodations such as affirmative action, what exactly is Africa to her all her descendants and indigenous people; a continent which continues to enslave, murder and impoverish millions of Africans with frightening efficiency and international indifference? Appreciation for one's lot in life, respect for their country, would never duly exist if such conclusions were incumbent upon eradicating all dissenting opinion or politicizing every injustice and tragedy. Perspective is not a matter of favoritism or forced concessions, but a lesson in humility and personal reflection that demands our participation.

America is only forsaken when we take her for granted by allowing conniving malcontents obsessed with judging her past to divide us into bitter, warring factions incapable of reason or rationale recourse. Black and white, man or woman, rich and poor, gay, straight, or aspiring citizen...our strength is not in the brute totality of our numbers, but in the undying ideals we embody and our collective support for the one nation that tirelessly fights for their survival. If the struggle is indeed the glory and our journey a testament to how far we have come as a diverse and resilient people, the American flag has more than earned the right to fly free from politicized scorn or false strife on native soil. To protest or teach hatred of a respected symbol of freedom is to welcome the demise of the very country and natural born rights one claims to fraudulently represent.

Respect for self and Country

Yes, Mr. President, I too agree players are employees and should be fired when they continue to use race as an excuse to disrespect America and exploit hard-working fans' time and money. Freedom of speech does not guarantee freedom from consequences. There are approximately 6,000 homicide victims of black-on-black crime and over 500,000 black babies aborted annually, but let's raise a fist and kneel during the national anthem to protest the injustice of 200 black Americans shot by police each year; or roughly half the number of whites killed annually by law enforcement - some justified, some not - without one hijacked sporting event, political march or race riot. Only in America can 13% of the population account for 50% of violent crime and still labor under the delusion white racism is 100 percent to blame for all the problems in the black community. Numbers, unlike unemployed quarterbacks and overpaid athletes, don't lie and ignorant political stunts do nothing to change a single life for the better.

"If you've ever been to an NFL game then you've heard the announcer say "please stand to honor our military in singing the national anthem". He doesn't say stand to honor the police or even the president, you stand to honor the sacrifice the men and women of our armed forces, past and present have laid at the alter of freedom. This is part of being American, no matter your political leanings we honor and revere the armed forces because without them, we'd all be speaking German today."
36 U.S. Code § 301 -National anthem

Genius of Thomas Jefferson

Genius of Thomas Jefferson

John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the White House for a group of the brightest minds in the nation at that time.

He made this statement: "This is perhaps the assembly of the most intelligence ever to gather at one time in the White House with the exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."

"When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe ."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms within his own lands."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical."
-- Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson said in 1802: "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property - until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

A true patriot.

The Red Carpet of denial.

If you enjoy watching a whining dog lick its own ass to the thunderous applause of detached sycophants, you would have loved the Emmy's. Otherwise, this annual gala was but another exercise in futility as smug celebrities celebrated their universal hatred of Donald Trump because they still lack the critical thinking skills necessary to discern fact from fiction, grotesque exaggeration from mature discourse, or better find yet the humility necessary to hold themselves accountable for choosing to support the most corrupt, deceitful and despised presidential candidate in modern American history: Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Perhaps I'm confusing a good Monty Python farce with a Shakespearean tragedy, but any so-called human rights platform that openly invites spewing the stale epithets of racism and sexism beneath the glitz and glamour of catered bliss - blackballing conservative actors/directors/screenwriters while zealously inciting societal discord through the inflammatory stereotypes of identity politics - is a grave threat to the harmony of any society: i.e., Hollywood's cultivated ignorance and vile intemperance towards civil decorum and intellectual diversity. Choosing to rejoice in the slanderous rhetoric and blatantly false narratives regurgitated by a media establishment that has abandoned any obligation of objectivity for the explicit goal of character assassination - a hopelessly biased medium that has actually stated it's their job to tell us what to think or who to believe - hardly constitutes a public emergency worthy of our time, respect and undivided attention. The fact so many of these incensed celebrities were completely oblivious to the destructive and absurdly anti-American policies of the previous 8 years is exactly why so many everyday Americans chose self-preservation over self-aggrandizing propagandists and prudence over progresssivism. Unless white supremacy is now the prerequisite of patriotism and common sense the sworn enemy of social justice, color and gender have become the new "search and seizure" mantra of victimization activists seeking to discredit any person or ideology that dares challenge the sheer lunacy of the globalist agenda.

Instead of fostering mutual respect among all parties and holding everyone to the same standard, leftists incessantly conspire to replace what works, or proven effective over time, solely with what sounds good to the fickle armies of entitlement. Failing to reside in the real word where criminal acts and resisting arrest puts people of all color in harm's way, where funded hate groups and political agitators are the real root of civil unrest - yes, immigration laws, sovereign borders and the doorbells on gated Hollywood communities exist for a purpose - doesn't make Donald Trump racist or a xenophobe. It makes his critics woefully naive and undeniably incredulous. Likewise, giving credence to profane feminists publicly fantasizing over the President's death - consciously ignoring the 'deplorable' detail news networks and Democratic operatives conspired to recruit false accusers who never filed a single harassment complaint - doesn't make a man sexist or a rapist in any sense of the word. Such nonsense transforms grown adults into mindless, malicious drones who have no regard for the truth, the plight of actual sexual assault survivors, simply because spoiled children still refuse to accept the electoral results of a legitimate election.

And finally, when you cannot logically deny single-payer socialist medicine is an unaffordable affront to quality healthcare or convince people that single parent households, a crumbling work ethic and a glaring lack of basic decency are the greatest threats to America's future, cinematic starlets resort to hurling insults and inane accusations to distract voters from the realization real change requires dedication and self-sacrifice rather than pompous displays of televised vitriol. Any contracted host who has the gall to call tgw leader of the free world a "Nazi" with no historical context of fascism's atrocities, obviously has no semblance of respect for the fallen or the faintest idea what constitutes mass suffering. Until Mr. Colbert pulls gold fillings from rotting corpses steamrolled into ravines, literally starves to death in a forced labor camp or drags entire murdered families from gas chambers, someone needs to remind him soulless hysterics born from partisan paranoia do not even register amid the unmarked ashes of cremated victims denied the everyday liberties, or should I say the lavish amenities, of limousine liberals living in a brainwashed bubble where mere political dissent now equates to the brutal oppression exacted beneath the Third Reich. If I may, in what twisted heart is such a reference remotely humorous or a subect matter worthy of such intentional indignity on a national stage?   

The moment industrious, law-abiding citizens are labeled bigots for exercising their solemn duty to vote or for questioning how their tax dollars are spent while only illegals are celebrated for "dreaming" of a better life and subsequently granted sanctuary from the consequences of their actions, is the moment your opinion is about as insightful as the cost of your six-figure outfit as you applaud those mistreated, millionaire athletes who disgrace our flag and disrespect the national anthem to fight injustice; but just not the variety which encourages rioting and looting based on the race of the acquitted in lieu of embracing the actual evidence. Who needs due process, an ingrained sense of law and order, as long as showcased elitists continue to labor under the delusion they're the epitome of enlightenment, moral clarity, when in reality they're the most dangerous embodiment of excused "hate" in America today? No, it is not bigotry or the dreaded "patriarchial society" that is to blame for systemic crime, violence, unequal pay and the inevitable existence of poverty, but a failing of culture and personal responsibility itself. Truly, little is more hypocritical than a cache of coddled fascists claiming to fight "intolerance" by hijacking entertainment forums as their personal pulpit for insulting those marginalized fans caught in the political crossfire of Hollywood's privileged lifestyle.

As for those apologists who blindly disagree with my contention, when's the last time your waiter, mechanic or doctor made it his or her business to lecture you about your political beliefs in a manner or setting completely unrelated to the nature of your business? Receiving a trophy and a standing ovation for pretending to be someone else does not make your viewpoints anymore relevant than the censored convictions of common men or women living in most rural reaches of America. And it sure as hell doesn't grant you domain over the autonomy of individuals who desire nothing more than to watch a celebration of artistic expression, or say a national sporting event, without being endlessly sermonized in addition to being fleeced with outrageous merchandising and ticket prices. It makes you an inconsiderate, insufferable excuse for a human being who somehow believes fame justifies celebrities selfishly bringing their political baggage into the living rooms of independent Americans who are sick and tired of being treated as second class citizens incapable of thinking for themselves.

The Kettle is burnt.

ESPN prevented Asian American Robert Lee from announcing a Virginia college football game out of fears his birth name was racially insensitive but the very same network has allowed Jemele Hill to continue working despite calling President Trump and his supporters white supremacists and Nazis. Sadly, such unforgivable hypocrisy is hardly a coincidence considering the "The ESPYs" once gave their annual Arthur Ashe Courage Award to a 55 year-old, cross-dressing celebrity instead of a female college basketball player who eventually died battling cancer or a double-amputee war veteran turned champion triathlete. There is syndicated insanity and then there is choreographed political terrorism masquerading as social progress. Change the channel, cut your cable cord or end your ESPN subscription until their producers no longer justify insulting millions of sports fans - the very country that affords us the opportunities to enjoy such sporting events with family and friends - while religiously honoring an unemployed quarterback who calls all police officers "pigs" and America "racist" for not celebrating a jaded, millionaire bigot who proudly mocks our national anthem, ignores the unrivaled ravages of black-on-black crime and incites civil unrest with unbridled glee. No show is worth your dignity, the universal values we teach our children, let alone those innocent lives lost amidst the violent aftermath of such irresponsible rhetoric. Hate doesn't need a misguided sports anchor to confirm its existence; it merely requires a morally bankrupt medium to spread the false narrative that injustice is a one-way street. Until Jemele Hill is fired and this incessant glorification of Colin Kaepernick ends, I refuse to even consider watching another second of their shameless political subversion of the games I have loved since a kid.

Forgotten History

For almost 150 years the United States has been conducting an interesting experiment. The subjects of the experiment: black people and working-class whites.

The hypothesis to be tested: Can a people taken from the jungles of Africa and forced into slavery be fully integrated as citizens in a majority white population?

The whites were descendants of Europeans who had created a majestic civilization. The former slaves had been tribal peoples with no written language and virtually no intellectual achievements. Acting on a policy that was not fair to either group, the government released newly freed black people into a white society that saw them as inferiors. America has struggled with racial discord ever since.

Decade after decade the problems persisted but the experimenters never gave up. They insisted that if they could find the right formula the experiment would work, and concocted program after program to get the result they wanted. They created the Freedmans Bureau, passed civil rights laws, tried to build the Great Society, declared War on Poverty, ordered race preferences, built housing projects, and tried midnight basketball.

Their new laws intruded into peoples lives in ways that would have been otherwise unthinkable. They called in National Guard troops to enforce school integration They outlawed freedom of association. Over the protests of parents, they put white children on buses and sent them to black schools and vice-versa. They tried with money, special programs, relaxed standards, and endless hand wringing to close the achievement gap. To keep white backlash in check they began punishing public and even private statements on race. They hung up Orwellian public banners that commanded whites to Celebrate Diversity! and Say No to Racism. Nothing was off limits if it might salvage the experiment.

Some thought that what W.E.B. DuBois called the Talented Tenth would lead the way for black people. A group of elite, educated blacks would knock down doors of opportunity and show the world what blacks were capable of. There is a Talented Tenth. They are the black Americans who have become entrepreneurs, lawyers, doctors and scientists. But ten percent is not enough. For the experiment to work, the ten percent has to be followed by a critical mass of people who can hold middle-class jobs and promote social stability. That is what is missing.

Through the years, too many black people continue to show an inability to function and prosper in a culture unsuited to them. Detroit is bankrupt, the south side of Chicago is a war zone, and the vast majority of black cities all over America are beset by degeneracy and violence. And blacks never take responsibility for their failures. Instead, they lash out in anger and resentment.

Across the generations and across the country, as we have seen in Detroit, Watts, Newark, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, and now Ferguson, rioting and looting are just one racial incident away. The white elite would tell us that this doesn't mean the experiment has failed. We just have to try harder. We need more money, more time, more understanding, more programs, and more opportunities.

But nothing changes no matter how much money is spent, no matter how many laws are passed, no matter how many black geniuses are portrayed on TV, and no matter who is president Some argue its a problem of culture, as if culture creates peoples behavior instead of the other way around. Others blame white privilege.

But since 1965, when the elites opened Americas doors to the Third World, immigrants from Asia and India people who are not white, not rich, and not connected have quietly succeeded. While the children of these people are winning spelling bees and getting top scores on the SAT, black youths are committing half the country's violent crime, which includes viciously punching random white people on the street for the thrill of it that has nothing to do with poverty.

The experiment has failed. Not because of white culture, or white privilege, or white racism. The fundamental problem is that American black culture has evolved into an un-fixable and crime ridden mess. *They do not want to change their culture or society, and expect others to tolerate their violence and amoral behavior They have become socially incompatible with other races by their own design, not because of the racism of others - but by their own hatred of non-blacks.*

Our leaders don't seem to understand just how tired their white subjects are with this experiment. *They don't understand that white people aren't out to get black people; they are just exhausted with them. They are exhausted by the social pathologies, the violence, the endless complaints, and the blind racial solidarity, the bottomless pit of grievances, the excuses, and the reflexive animosity. The elites explain everything with racism, and refuse to believe that white frustration could soon reach the boiling point"

"You can't legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government can't give to anybody anything that the government doesn't first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they don't have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”

The Watchtowers of Freedom.

September 11th, 2001: The Watchtowers of Freedom

America was not forged with the red hammer of conformity, nor was our revered way of life preserved by the idle hands of modern entitlement. This republic was erected as an ideological bastion from which to harbor ordinary men and women from the historical remnants of injustice and to protect the indelible liberties of all mankind. As a sovereign nation defined by stringent geographic boundaries, our founding creed has no such limitations for life, liberty, justice and the pursuit of happiness are universal birthrights derived from the creative dominion of God's grace and wisdom. And while it is true America cannot serve as the moral police of the world - bear the human cost of fighting every battle to free every forsaken soul from the clutches of oppression without their willingness to recognize and defeat tyranny themselves - there is no respite from the conscious aftermath of acquiesing to human atrocity.

Reducing our defenses to the point of non-existence, albeit for economic gain or misguided policy, is to leave ourselves at the mercy of malevolence. I do not subscribe to the pacifist conundrum that by burying our head in the sand, ignoring the atrocities of totalitarian states or Islamo-fascists, "We the People" make our country safer & the world a better place in which to reside. It is simply the equivalent of watching a rape across the street & doing nothing to stop it. Frankly, we are better than that. There is courage and then there is cowardice; no excuse will ever suffice in the annals of history or before the eyes of God. When our nation’s resolve was baptized beneath the ruddy carnage of Pearl Harbor our military was so vulnerable & neglected it took years of nationalizing private industry to rebuild our feeble defenses. For far too long the United States of America – the supposed fearless leader of the free world – callously hid behind a policy of isolationism as World War II raged on & millions were lost beneath the boot of German fascism & Japanese imperialism. In essence, by casting a shadow of weakness, our calculated indifference eliminated any hope of deterring or preventing such a horrific tragedy. Truly, how many more lives could have we saved? More profoundly, what if our families were the victims of Holocaust, the Ukrainian Famine or the Armenian genocide? Should I even have to ask such a selfish question?

Pretending evil does not exist, failing to prepare for its inevitability, will not save us from its wrath. Likewise, blaming America for 9/11 is but to embolden our enemies for they will never cease in their lust for our demise. If ISIS or North Korea can speak openly of their bloodthirsty hatred for Western Civilization, cultivate their culture of unapologetic brutality, why should this "last, best hope of mankind" cower in the politically convenient shadows of capitulation and appeasement? America is but a name, for it is freedom, tolerance, and our Judeo-Christian ideals they despise. To lower our guard out of some misplaced sense of guilt or to seduce political favor is to sentence this nation to that which we are already guaranteed: death. I do not fear death; I fear watching my loved ones needlessly suffer beneath the rolling fog of blind apathy as any chance for recourse or valor fades beyond the autonomy of my fingertips. For the sake of my children and the country I call home, I would rather fight for the soul of creation – the last vestiges of decency and hope – than to kneel before the soiled blade of subjugation of our. May God Bless the heroes and victims of September 11th, 2001 and may humanity forever honor its intrinsic duty to eradicate such unrepentant evil where ever it may exist.

The Fault of hearts.

The Fault in Our Hearts

Little surpasses the sheer joy and excitement within the scientific community when discussing the mere possibility of discovering the faintest traces of life – the elemental building blocks of nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon and oxygen – beyond the celestial confines of Earth. Unfortunately for the so-called “evolved” minds of progressive thought, their lust for alien intelligence cannot begin to remotely fathom the unbridled passion a mother feels when cradling her newborn child for the first time; a sentient being she created without having to leave our solar system, the comfort of her home, and without the assistance of a microscope. While the human genome – the miracle of creation – stretches to the moon and back over an astounding 200,000 times, the concern secular science has for our own unborn is almost entirely negligible. Apparently love is not quantifiable in the plastic Petri dish of progress.

Abortion, even in its most glorified state, is nothing more than the death of a human being. Not only was the landmark case of Roe v. Wade a gross misinterpretation of the law, Norma McCorvey (Jane Roe) herself still publicly laments being the naïve pawn of soulless and scheming progressives. Since 1973 abortion has accounted for over 60 million deaths; a sum 10 times greater than that of the Jewish Holocaust. Planned Parenthood – the 'oxymoronic' embodiment of compassionate and responsible parenting – kills more black babies in one week than the 3,446 lynched by the KKK in almost one century. Likewise, despite the fact African Americans only encompass 13% of the total population, roughly 450,000 black lives are aborted each year; that's 435,000 more deaths than all homicides in America annually, or approximately 50 times greater than all U.S. war casualties combined. It’s hard to proclaim any life matters, or that you unconditionally support the rights of women, gays, or minorities, when your backwards agenda and callous pride refuses to acknowledge their most universal and natural right: the right to be born.

Any reasonable or even mildly empathetic individual would view these horrific statistics as a stain on humanity and a wake-up call to decisive action. Whereas researchers claim fetuses can feel pain as early as 5 months, the same can’t be said for militant activists – those shamelessly soliciting and lauding abortion as a celebratory rite of passage – who are now demanding to legalize all late-term and even post-birth abortions. Correct me if I’m wrong, but once a baby is born it’s a living, breathing human being endowed with certain inalienable rights according to law…including the right to life? After all, wasn’t this contention the very basis for the original abortionist argument; if a baby is not born, surviving independently outside the womb, it’s “technically” not a human life worthy of equal protection under the law?

As the proud torchbearer of bad news for the sadistic left, human conception, regardless of its gestational status, refers to the creation and presence of life. Otherwise, why would you have to “abort" or kill "it"? A newborn isn’t some disposable piece of property you toss in the garbage because you have buyer’s remorse, possess a sweet social life or feel the baby’s aesthetics don’t quite match your keen fashion sense. If that’s the case, please tell me the difference between abortion and killing your 5 year-old son because you’re tired of his financial baggage? Or, perhaps, it’s only a miscarriage of justice when someone is charged for murdering a pregnant woman’s unborn child against her will. "Choice" begins long before conception and one’s right to life should never be dependent upon another person's refusal to honor it.

Not surprisingly, the same offended “humanitarians” who oppose the death penalty for convicted murderers and routinely denounce the killing of Islamic terrorists find it perfectly acceptable to murder their own child due to some twisted sense of devotion to the feminist concept of “choice”. When it comes to procreation - affecting a life other than your own - choice is the decision by two consenting individuals to accept the inherent responsibilities and ramifications of having sex. If you can’t deal with the consequences, both expected and unforeseen, read a book until you become mature enough to play both doctor and parent! Birth control isn’t the capitalist brain child of virgin Right Wingers declaring an invisible war on women; stupidity, like Sandra Fluke, accomplishes that all by itself. If you can afford that $5 morning fix from Starbucks or buy the hottest new X-Box release, you sure as hell can take responsibility for your actions and seize control of your future. If you can afford and possess the self-awareness necessary to obtain an abortion, you most certainly can buy a box of condoms or arrange prescribed birth control. Or, if you dare, simply "choose" to visit your local health department where both are typically free, affordable and/or readily available.

When the convenient excuses of money, conspiracy and mental illness are exhausted, the last resort is to shamelessly equivocate any opposition to abortion with the abhorrent indignity of sexual assault. Activists routinely exploit the extreme and horrific scenario of rape to justify all abortions, regardless of the circumstances, in order to demonize critics and deflect from the absolute necessity of everyday accountability. No sane human being is suggesting a rape victim is responsible for a violent and unpreventable conception. That's just callous indifference. As for the so-called earnest "mistake" excuse - faulty latex, beer goggles or coital time travel - such misfortunes do not pardon us from reality for they always represent an inherent risk. If your tire blows out while driving are you suddenly absolved from the damages that ensue? Of course not. You chose to drive, you put your trust in the vehicle, you alone are responsible. Everything we do in life, intentional or not, has inescapable consequences. Why would sex, the fate of an actual human life, be any different? If exercising your rights requires violating or ending the rights of another, you’re hardly a victim. You’re the ethically abstinent executioner.

Regardless of the victimization narrative peddled by feminists who refuse to be “judged” or invoke reason, I’ve always been of the spiritual and scientific belief that life begins at conception and that it represents by far humanity’s most precious gift. Not only is mankind blessed with the innate ability to comprehend and manipulate its own environment, embrace and protect all forms of life, we embody the potential to reach beyond our planet and unlock discoveries no other Earthly species can. That being said, I find it extremely disconcerting liberals will zealously fight for the survival of a tree, oppose the abuse of animals (as they should), laude the discovery of a single cell organism as irrefutable proof of life in the cosmos, only to remain completely ambivalent, if not physically and ideologically hostile, towards the rights and suffering of our own children. Is there any greater hypocrisy? You don’t have to be a Christian or even believe in God to appreciate the universal connection and indelible beauty of all creation. You merely need to care.

“I’ve noticed everyone who is for abortion has already been born.” ~Ronald Reagan

Important dreams

I'm a "dreamer." That's right a "dreamer."

I dream that one day patriotism won't be considered racism, conservatism won't be considered fascism, and communism won't be considered AT ALL.

I dream that one day law abiding, hardworking Americans will be the first consideration of our elected officials instead of being considered a deplorable cash cow that is over taxed and underrepresented.

I dream that one day those who protect us from crime and protect our nation will be considered SUPERSTARS while those who act, sing, and play ball are considered court jesters.

I dream that one day those who report the news will consider the truth instead crafting an agenda.

And I dream that one day our government will consider the life of an unborn American as important as the life of an illegal immigrant.

Yep. I'm a dreamer.

The Art of voter Amnesia

The Art of Voter Amnesia: What’s an ID?

Democrats never say they are committed to stopping voter fraud, merely that they’re dedicated to “everyone” voting. This slippery admission tells you everything you need to know, or in other words, nothing you didn’t already suspect. The truth is Voter ID doesn’t discriminate against or disenfranchise anyone. How can it when everyone is held to same standard of accountability? If you can’t even verify your identity, validate and protect the authenticity of your vote, how are you a victim of anything other than your own ignorance and apathy? Without proper identification how can election poll workers stop an unregistered voter who knows your name, date of birth and address, let alone someone casting multiple votes by assuming a different identity in each precinct? People have TWO YEARS in-between elections to obtain photo ID; yes, the very same pertinence you need to drive a car, file for welfare, cash a check, win the lottery, buy beer, board a plane, adopt a pet or attend the Democratic National Convention! There are excuses and then there are outright lies. Professional con artists like Hillary Clinton welcome and encourage voter fraud because 99% of its existence favors leftist candidates. And now you know why criminals hate red tape almost as much as they mysteriously misplace their mug shots. Apparently cameras are racist too.

Any party or politician that cannot stand on the merits of their own convictions and public service record without the benefit of voter fraud is inherently wrong for America and a disgrace to the people they claim to serve. If you need to invent injustice and incite animosity to rally support for your withering candidacy, perhaps your chauffeur can wipe the blood off your “Stronger Together” bumper sticker as you bypass the ghetto graveyard of broken promises on the way to your daughter’s lavish wedding paid for with pilfered disaster relief funds. I don’t need to resurrect the newly forged registration cards of the dead to realize most Democrats have little regard for the integrity of our elections, the viability of our laws or the sovereignty of this nation. If you actually believe illegal immigrants and Islamic refugees know what’s better for America than everyday, law-abiding citizens who are privy and loyal to our founding ideals, your God-given liberties, then you deserve to live in a corrupt cesspool as your freedoms, sanity and property are slowly liquidated from your naive grasp. Anyone that zealously courts or engages in voter fraud solely to win an election – albeit through absentee, repetitive or non-citizen voting – is a stain on the soul of those men and women who died to procure and protect our way of life. If I need photo identification to buy a gun, then so should those casting a vote to potentially strip me of my Constitutional right to bear arms and defend myself against all forms of tyranny; or more profoundly, legalized lunacy.

The Tree of Liberty

For those who oppose or are outraged by President Trump’s decision to end DACA, or Deferred Action for Child Arrivals, I have one question: when does a lie built upon another lie suddenly become an unjust truth? As an Executive Order issued by Barack Obama right before the 2012 election, DACA was never legally binding let alone whimsically constitutional. While any President can issue Executive Orders that expound on existing law or direct certain federal agencies to act in a prescribed manner, our Chief Executive cannot use this inherent power as an attempt to bypass Congress, unilaterally write new law or invalidate current legislation. In other words, “illegal” immigration did and still does denote a punishable crime according to federal statutes.

The failure of Congressional Democrats to both ram and coyly sneak Amnesty by their Republican constituents on multiple occasions merely emboldened an already rogue President to further abuse his powers. Considering the Obama administration was later ordered by a federal Judge in 2015 to cease and desist distributing millions of Green Cards through the Department of Homeland Security as part of his Executive Amnesty plan - an oxymoron also known as Deferred Actions for Parents of Americans (DAPA) - it’s evident DACA was the first stone in a series of calculated distractions designed to specifically circumvent jurisprudence. When your goal requires using grown children as media props to deflect criticism in order to achieve De facto Amnesty for entire families – i.e., to protect countless illegals from deportation until Congress officially issues a reprieve or sanctuary states like California fraudulently grant them the right to vote – the Constitution, the welfare of actual citizens, is obviously of little concern in the Kangaroo Court of public opinion.

As someone who fully appreciates and supports the premise that is America, I openly welcome all legal immigrants who respect our sovereignty and complete the required naturalization process to pursue a better life. However, there is a stark difference between political exploitation - pardoned ignorance or indifference to achieve a corrupt political goal - and equal deference in the eyes of the law. Illegal immigration is not simply a harmless matter of trespassing that is needlessly blown out of proportion by white, patriotic xenophobes. In today’s climate of global terrorism and rising anti-American sentiment, illegal immigration represents a tangible threat to our national security, the functionality/survival of our schools and hospitals, and an undue burden on taxpayers; those men and women, in addition to competing with an influx of foreign labor for American jobs, must now account for the over $100 billion spent annually to care for impoverished immigrants or to incarcerate those criminal perpetrators among their ranks. Sound reasonable or remotely equitable…regardless of one’s nationality, creed or color? Or, if you like, just ask the survivors of Hurricane Harvey who now must reclaim their lives amidst the aftermath of $150 billion in devastation.

While I do not blame children for the wrongful misconduct of their migrating parents, such conscious choices do not negate a crime’s existence or change the nature of our laws. I for one do not and have never believed that a child born on American soil to non-citizens, especially ones conceived by illegal immigrants who knowingly disregarded our laws, is a natural born citizen. That, in my opinion, is purely wishful thinking born from false assumption. Whereas some believe the term “anchor baby” is a derogatory term used to wrongfully describe mere extenuating circumstances, I believe the acronym DACA is even more offensive once you realize a former President, ever fearful of losing his re-election bid amidst sagging approval numbers, concocted a completely illegitimate program that was actually designed to save immediate or extended families of illegal children from deportation by pulling on the heart strings of America. The fact DACA has existed this long without being struck down by the courts, dismissed by states or defunded by Congress is an absurd failing of our government’s clearly enumerated checks and balances. Since when did false appearances and corrupt intentions warrant concessions to the very pandering bureaucrats responsible for this enduring mess?

The Obama administration knew quite well most American voters with kids, or God forbid anyone with a soul, would not want to witness families being torn apart once a child was granted a protected status. Likewise, because most illegal aliens are not at risk of deportation, unless they’re felons, militant agitators or identified gang members, I believe Donald Trump’s pledge to delay ending DACA by six months so Congress can rightfully take action and “do their job” is both prudent and compassionate. Any subject matter as vast as immigration reform should always include the input and approval of all necessary parties and government branches. Not only have conniving politicians muddled a simple procedural issue of due diligence for decades, but in what other country can my "American or white privilege” receive immunity for illegally entering a sovereign nation; not withstanding committing robbery, assault, rape, tax or welfare fraud while claiming to be the victim of racism? And yes, excuse my common sense, but why aren't Asian, European or Russian immigrants also marching under the hollow cries of injustice? As a firm believer in Karma, or more profoundly respect, accountability and honesty are the antidote for 99% of our ills both as a country and a species.

Despite the devious ploys of Democratic "Dreamers" and anti-American agitators, sympathy should never be a fabricated crisis molded into political capital but rather a sincere reaction born from true concern or mistreatment. For those DACA participants seeking to remain in America past the program’s termination despite lingering claims of "victimization", I have no problem granting such a request as long as these individuals are fully vetted, abide by all terms of their “guest” worker/student status, are barred from receiving federal or state assistance during their stay and permanently denied voting privileges unless they leave the country, apply for re-entry and are granted citizenship under the new RAISED standards of naturalization. If DACA was truly about allowing “Dreamers” a chance to appreciate the countless blessings America affords to all - and not some bankrupt, partisan scheme to subvert our laws, discredit our  founding values and forever tip America's electoral balance - than hard work, earned trust and ample opportunity should more than suffice for those seeking to escape the depravity of their native countries to dine from the preserved tree of liberty.

Straws, Spitballs and the coordinates of Kim Hong-un

Straws, Spitballs and the Coordinates of Kim Jong-un

History is littered with the human aftermath of tyrannical regimes and aspiring dictators who sought global power, coerced adulation, at the expense of the oppressed. And yet the only revelation more hypocritical than the “civilized” world’s willingness to appease such evil is their concerted effort to marginalize the suffering of their victims; so-called statistical aberrations too often relegated to the triviality of banned history books.

Kim Jong-un is far more than the mindless byproduct of neurotic nepotism compensating for a Napoleonic complex and a bad hair cut, he is a displaced relic of the Cold War. While a petulant child wastes billions of dollars pursuing his recurrent wet dream of a nuclear arsenal - a singular intercontinental ballistic missile that can reach American mainland - the North Korean people toil in poverty, lack basic amenities including a functional infrastructure, and are incarcerated, even terminated, for the slightest signs of dissent or acts of misconstrued disrespect. For a country that allocates the least per capita on healthcare in the world, wastes millions brainwashing children with history revisionism and the mandatory deification of a tyrant – the very man responsible for their unapologetic suffering - it’s of little surprise the North Korean Education Minister was executed for not sitting properly during a cabinet meeting.  Who needs critical thinking skills, universal standards of basic human decency, when native children are taught Kim II-Sung used teleportation to single-handedly defeat one million Japanese? More profoundly, who knew Star Trek wasn’t science fiction?

The Korean Demilitarized Zone, considered the most dangerous strip of land in the discovered world, is but a microcosm of the institutionalized denial present in Western Society. Whereas media propagandists and detached progressives love to morally equivocate Donald Trump with Adolf Hitler, a mass murderer guilty of some of the most grotesque atrocities in human history, their love of Marxist principles leaves their ranks almost completely oblivious to the true nature of Communism. Who in their right mind would tout Cuba as a ‘progressive”, modern state – an indigent, totalitarian cesspool its citizens are fleeing in makeshift rafts – let alone acquiesce to the insatiable demands of Iran and North Korea - barbaric and intolerant manifestations of fascism – to grant a homicidal madman the means to murder millions in one rash moment of unbridled hate? Sadly, their identity is as unmistakable as it is treasonous: they are the same delusional 60’s radicals and entitled millennials who need safe spaces from accountability, who religiously attack free speech on college campuses and who still linger under the academic delusion Communism is the ethically superior choice for a Constitutional Republic predicated upon individual liberty and limited government.

I find it insulting, morally irreconcilable, the United Nations and self-proclaimed humanitarian organizations such as WHO and CAIR zealously demonize America for enforcing its immigration laws, combating terrorism and preserving its citizens’ right to defend themselves against all forms of tyranny, only to consciously dismiss and politically pander to jihadists and tyrants guilty of unyielding crimes against humanity. Yes, those disregarded transgressions that far exceed denying ‘transgenders’ a dress on the battlefield or the unique gender privilege of using the bathroom of their choice; requests that would result in their imprisonment, torture or execution behind the very fortified walls of bloodthirsty rulers globalists spitefully protect. Rather than encouraging these tormented populaces to rise-up and reclaim their homeland, restore the dignity of all human life and their natural born rights, the New World Order is content pardoning murderers and thieves to procure the downfall of Western values.

In the early 1980’s, unprovoked terrorist attacks rippled across Europe targeting civilian cafes and nightclubs, which culminated in the deaths of 241 sleeping American servicemen after their barracks in Beirut, Lebanon were bombed. President Reagan, acutely aware of the state sponsors of Islamic militants and their ties to the Kremlin, bombed Libyan military installations and even the palace of Muammar Gaddafi himself under the veil of night. Unbeknownst to critics, the perpetrators of these "mysterious" attacks immediately ceased. Kim Jong-un, if he so foolishly desires, can conduct missile tests and hurl spitballs at America’s geographic sense of security until he turns blue in the face. However, know this truth; for every singular missile that can reach our mainland or strike our allies, the United States possesses the means to annihilate North Korea with a solitary launch for the next 4,000 consecutive days without refrain. If you’re going to tug on Superman’s cape solely to solicit a pre-emptive response of unrivaled recompense, do not decry the results when your research facilities, missile silos, secret bunkers or your lavish living quarters are buried beneath the midnight rubble of pinpoint bombing campaigns; an ability your scientists can faintly fathom.

Like the unwavering “Peace through Strength” doctrine of Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump, General Mattis and Chief of Staff John Kelly do not believe the best way to defeat unrelenting evil is by apathetically waiting for the inevitable body count of senseless appeasement. Therefore, in the immortal words of “The Gipper”, I leave Kim Jong-un with one final straw of prophetic advice: “They counted on America to be passive…they counted wrong.” If self-preservation requires no explanation, the unannounced reminder of our resolve will be as short lived as your vile legacy.

Divinity and Darkness

Divinity and Darkness

During times of national discord, tragedy or personal loss I routinely hear atheists or agnostics ask...if God truly exists why does he allow so much needless suffering to occur? My response...does he? God blessed mankind with free will, not freedom from consequences or misfortune, for that is the inescapable nature of life. What would be the purpose of life in all its magnificence and self-aware glory, without choice or free will, if God constantly needed to intercede on our behalf? The greatest gift also comes with the greatest burden: mortality. Why else would Jesus - a humble, peaceful and compassionate man mocked for his beliefs - endure such endless torture for refusing to renounce his faith in the face of such evil and dire circumstances? Without consequence or conviction learned from the struggle of everyday life, how would humanity recognize or even appreciate the smallest blessings born from endeavoring to coexist in a world free from strife? The wisdom of a penniless carpenter who chose to walk in the light of virtue, to sacrifice himself so others may find redemption, could not be extinguished by fear of pain or decree of death. It continues to reside in a universal maxim: you don't have to be religious to accept God's love, let alone pray in a church to espouse a moral life. You merely have to accept that divinity and darkness exists in all of us - both in times of triumph and tragedy, charity and senseless depravity - regardless of our eventual fates. Wherever there is hate, there is also hope. Whereas our loved ones will eventually perish, billions will rejoice in the beauty of birth. 

The key to peace on Earth is not to waste breaths engaging in endless theological debate, but rather to relish every moment we have together as sentient beings blessed with the ability to discern: to cherish and choose life over needlessly forsaking it. Faith is not a handwritten guarantee or unbreachable protection from daily peril. It's a lifelong struggle and testament that challenges followers to believe when public sentiment, the faculties of the mind, overwhelmingly tell us not to. The character of Christ did not wilt beneath the unspeakable cruelty surrounding his persecution and crucifixion; it merely strengthened his resolve to embody love. And that is why I will forever endeavor to follow in his footsteps: to shed light during the darkest of times or seek salvation in the darkest corners of the globe.

The Russia ruse

Beware, this is a hearty read, but I believe the relentless nature and urgency of this subject matter demands detail over brevi

The greatest historical parallel between fascism and Communism is that both ideologies were exceeding efficient at one common practice: demonizing all opposition, threatening political opponents, by accusing nonconformists of what the very establishment did themselves: deceive, manipulate and seize control under false pretenses. These regimes and their supporters relied on inciting mob justice, mass hysteria, because their radical agenda and slanderous ploys would inevitably self-destruct under the legitimate scrutiny of rational thought: i.e., free speech and due process. The theatricality of fear and fabrication are powerful allies in the red fog of political assassination.

Enter Donald Trump, a brash and ruthlessly mocked entrepreneur, who ran on a populist platform of putting ‘America First’ by reforming a septic establishment and challenging the filtered of media. His victory so shocked the  status quo - those who refused to take accountability for, let alone acknowledge, 8 years of failure, corruption and rampant anti-Americanism - they immediately sought to discredit his policies, or more succinctly, torpedo his presidency by any means necessary; that lone circling shark who poses the biggest threat to the globalist agenda and their monopoly on the perversion of the truth. Rather than embracing the fact Trump created more manufacturing jobs in 5 months than Obama lost during his entire tenure (300,000), that an unapologetic capitalist immediately created monthly budget surpluses in lieu of a redistributing socialist who doubled our nation debt, and illegal border crossings fell by roughly 70% by simply enforcing the law, elected adults became petulant children obsessed with petty vendettas and concocting sensational allegations of impropriety, instead of honorably serving their country and the Constitution they swore to uphold.

As a result of the President's immediate success and tireless work ethic, a culture of disinformation quickly ensued to cloud public perception of a competent, adept leader. The common sense necessity of border security became a bellwether of racism, a constitutional travel ban issued by previous presidents invoked hollow cries of xenophobia, successful job creation and revitalized industry were reported as corporate greed, affordable healthcare without penalized mandates became a mandatory death sentence, and truth became fiction as mere suggestion “supplanted” honesty. In essence, the same “unbiased” press and conspiring Democratic party that tried to destroy his candidacy with numerous unsubstantiated charges of sexual misconduct just weeks before the election - smearing a known billionaire who was never formally charged or served with a civil suit by any accuser before his candidacy - revealed just how incestuously toxic they were by openly declaring war on the very man who so effortlessly exposed their blatant hypocrisy, infantile games and ill-conceived policies.

Because perception is often more powerful than reality, this entire Russian Conspiracy fiasco was hatched by the suddenly unemployed think tank of one extremely bitter Hillary Rodham Clinton; the very pay-to-play, “what does it matter”, Goldman Sachs advocate of the poor who is still in utter disbelief as to how a politically incorrect, patriotic CEO somehow survived an orchestrated media firestorm, an avalanche of sordid celebrity rants, death threats from naked feminists and Black Lives Matter, attempts by the DHS to hack the electoral databases of multiple states, and a community organizer's final hour plea to illicit votes from illegal immigrants. Character assassination, voter fraud, funded protests and political witch hunts intended to overturn an undesirable election result? The concept of guilt is always subjective when proof is a Nancy Pelosi press conference and the liberal litmus of "intent" never installs a private server in a bathroom, deletes 33,000 "non-classified" emails, destroys government property, and religiously lies about it for posterity's sake. Apparently manslaughter is now an imaginary crime because falling asleep at wheel requires a crosswalk full of irresponsible children.

And then there was the curious case of James Comey; a registered Democrat with documented financial ties to the Clintons who testified to Congress there was no proof of Russian election tampering. After being fired for failing to stop a waterfall of leaks or earnestly investigate the numerous indiscretions of Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration, he somehow produced a three month-old “memo” less than a week after being relieved of his duties. Although withholding such information is a prosecutable crime in itself, this revelation is a disturbing reminder of how the Deep State mindset has enabled a hyper-partisan climate in which the rules increasingly only apply to one side of the aisle; i.e., those who make us feel “uncomfortable” or offend our fragile sensibilities. Perhaps this is why the FBI or anti-Trump Congressional hoard showed absolutely no concern when the Washington Post celebrates yet another leaked rumor going viral in a vile attempt to convict a President without regard to truth or context. The end always justifies the means when there are no consequences in the aftermath of animosity: to injure with extreme prejudice.

While I’d love to dismiss the schizophrenic delusions of scheming despots, I cannot in good conscience. First of all, expressing your hope that a good man and career civil servant would be exonerated is neither illegal nor unreasonable. It is a simple affirmation that pales in comparison to Bill Clinton privately meeting with Loretta Lynch on a tarmac to shield his wife from prosecution, or Barack Obama telling his former Attorney General to Plead the Fifth to conceal the true nature of his Iranian dealings. Second, just because some leftover Obama loyalists have been duped by salacious propaganda into believing Donald Trump is the physical manifestation of Satan, doesn’t give subordinates the right to divulge national secrets or reinvent the rules of confidentiality. Unlike those planted saboteurs within his administration, our Chief Executive has the authority to share information, classified or not, with any foreign leader that he deems worthy or relevant to the best interests of the county. Regardless, the only thing “classified” about ISIS is showing the civilized world where to annihilate the true embodiment of evil; a target Barack Obama gladly painted on America’s back every single day of his presidency.

Contrary to the relentless conditioning of progressive programming, if any President or administrative appointment was going to be indicted, dare I say impeached, it was the corrosive elements with the Obama administration; those agents allowed to act with reckless impunity beneath the gloating applause of network news and the complicit silence of our intelligence community. Unfortunately for fans of equal opportunity and due diligence, no mysterious memos magically appeared to sooth hurt feelings or suggest guilt in the kangaroo court of public opinion.

If I may, where was the liberal Gestapo's acute level of concern and stringent demand for culpability when Barack Obama used government agencies to target conservatives, when his administration wiretapped the press, members of Congress and even a presidential candidate, repeatedly lied to the public and the courts to pass the single-payer Trojan horse known as Obamacare, colluded with Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch to obstruct justice in regards to Fast & Furious, Lois Lerner and a $400 million ransom paid to Iran, allowed the Muslim Brotherhood to infiltrate the highest levels of our government, approved Hillary’s sale of Uranium to Russia in exchange for campaign donations and future speaking engagements, ignored the Clinton Foundation defrauding disaster survivors to fund her campaign, interfered with Israeli elections, transported unvetted refugees into America, granted visas to internationally red flagged immigrants, incited a homicidal war on cops, and attempted to send $221 million in taxpayer dollars to Palestinian militants as he slithered out the backdoor of infamy? The truth is if Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were held to same, sterling standard as Donald Trump, where blind hatred superseded any tangible proof of criminality, the only organized social “resistance” would be in the form of The View decrying the assumed gender of their orange jumpsuits.

When the goal is to turn molehills into mountain ranges, turn the most innocent sentiments or routine duties into imaginary impeachable offenses, nothing will satiate the foaming lynch mob; those juvenile malcontents who embarked on a path of political sabotage to demonize a man from the very inception of his nomination. Sadly, the crass and profane behavior of media personalities, politicians and everyday citizens has not only become acceptable in contemporary circles, it is a blaring reminder of how far “We the People” have fallen as a society. America was founded upon the nonnegotiable ideals of individual liberty; a free republic that demanded open and constructive discourse from its elected officials to find lasting solutions to our most daunting challenges. Instead of a government defined by mutual respect and compromise, Washington has regressed into a street hustle where a sizable but growing faction of whining adolescents incessantly connive and conspire to seize power by any means possible. To these malignant souls, the welfare of the country and the people are mere afterthoughts, impressionable and expendable pawns to be sacrificed in their insatiable lust to control and humiliate their most hated adversaries.

Other than the obvious waste of taxpayer resources, I openly welcome the appointment of Robert Mueller as special investigator because I have little doubt his findings will confirm the truth: that current political misappropriation that starves the fascist engine of ignorance and paranoia. Ironically, as the masses are forced to digest hourly catcalls of impeachment and “scandal”, DNC lawyers are currently arguing in court as to why they had the right to repeatedly lie to their electorate, rig their primaries to defeat Bernie Sanders, and fraudulently secure the nomination for the most corrupt candidate in American history. And yet these are the duplicitous snakes accusing Donald Trump of such grotesque wrongdoing. Democrats and the vengeful remnants of Never Trumpers know they do not have the necessary votes to impeach the President, or the required majority to initiate proceedings, but the persistent stigma of scandal is far more damaging than its eventual resolution.

Rather, their overriding mission is to magnify the manufactured appearance of impropriety in order to deflect from any meaningful accomplishments and thus weaken his reelection chances in 2020. By endlessly beating the drum of Russian tampering and feasting off mere inference from orchestrated classified leaks, the Red armies of intolerance will vilify and dehumanize the one individual whose unyielding nature exposed just how corrupt, divisive and destructive the media/political establishment has become to the survival of America’s founding creed: life, liberty and justice without undue government interference.

I have long feared America was on the downside of history, but the unhinged behavior of political terrorists has confirmed we're spiraling towards our own self-imposed demise. While critics will denounce my assertions as presumptive and pretentious, I pose one final sociological proof. If Democrats held healthy majorities in both Congressional houses, Donald Trump would have been impeached before his sixth month in office; not for any egregious crime or unprecedented action, but for winning an election...a singular event that has revealed how detached, dangerous and viscous the modern left has become. Democracy and intellectual diversity are obviously too much of a burden to bear, so screaming tantrums, public tribunals and cultural anarchy are now the preferred charities of enlightened progressives.

I have no problem with discerning minds disliking Donald Trump for any number of reasons. Such is life. However, I have no patience for those who believe his every decision requires their explicit approval or an engraved apology carved into his tombstone. The President of the United States could literally save a school bus of handicap children from drowning in a river, or cure cancer, and his selfless actions would still be condemned as crimes against humanity. When 'right and wrong' become a political construct and justice is no longer a moral derivative of rational thought, patriotism is labeled as hate speech, rogue judges subvert the law with senseless spite, and the faintest whisper of opposing viewpoints triggers violence and accusations of extremism. I'm not interested in repeating a shameless lie until it is somehow perceived as irrefutable truth for the sake of achieving political supremacy. I'm interested in allowing the fearless leader I voted for to finish 'draining the swamp' before the country I love and the last vestiges of integrity are forever buried beneath the marginalized victims of baseless entitlement and cultivated malice.

Deep state cover

Deep State Cover

No, Susan Rice, you’re not being forced to testify because you’re black or a woman…you were duly summoned for lying, colluding and abusing the authority invested in your office to serve this Constitutional Republic. If you’re going to play the “victim” wildcard, at least have the decency to apologize to those victims wrongfully railroaded by your bigoted and shameless partisan schemes. As the former National Security Adviser to one Barack Obama, you now hold the dubious distinction of representing the first administration to wiretap a Presidential candidate during an ongoing election and subsequently spy on an incoming administration to unearth any crumb of usable intelligence for political gain. Surely, Mr. Comey shared that useful patriotic memo. While I hesitate to use petty and egregious in the same rumination, your behavior was painfully juvenile and undeniably treasonous. How many leaks does it take to get to the epicenter of real scandal and trigger a Congressional investigation over an aspiring ‘Deep State’ coup d’etat? You tell me!

No matter how much you deflect from the truth and blame those who dare to hold you accountable, Mrs. Rice, you obtained FISA warrants under false pretenses and showed no regard for national security or those public officials you unmasked with the intention of destroying their livelihoods; or better yet, a newly elected Chief of State and his pledge of systemic reform.  Despite the fact you knew the Trump-Russia conspiracies were outright fabrications used to potentially topple or undermine his presidency – debunked by the FBI, Homeland Security and now even CNN itself – you consciously ignored documented security breaches into the DNC database because the Democratic Party was too busy rigging the nomination against Bernie and hiding Hillary’s numerous indiscretions, inflammatory remarks and radical associates: including the Clintons’ vast ties to the Kremlin, the Russian conglomerate Uranium One and Moscow’s Renaissance Capital.…none of which raised your convenient sense of ‘social justice’.  Or perhaps “We the People” should just be thankful you helped secure a “nuclear” Iran to fight true misogyny and anti-White supremacy. Now I may not be a World Series Poker Champion but I know the difference between an obvious political bluff, a smug opportunist, and a persecuted woman asked to sit at the back of the bus because of the color of her skin. At least Rosa Parks had the integrity and courage not to wilt beneath the scorn of true injustice.

The education emancipation

Without the ability to control and manipulate students, progressives are like Pavlov ringing a bell; only they are the ones left salivating to the anticipation of mass indoctrination. The core responsibility of public education is to provide a functional skill set for our children, to fully prepare those who will seek further enrichment beyond graduation, and to instinctively foster well-adjusted, productive members of society. Unfortunately for the guardians of good intentions, ever since the 1950’s Marxist agitators like Saul Alinsky and Bill Ayers realized the best manner in which to topple America – our fierce independent spirit, economic prowess and Judeo-Christian values – was not by brute force but rather by steadily poisoning the national pipeline of public education, generations of impressionable minds, with spoon-fed, anti-American propaganda. And judging by the dysfunctional state of modern academia where liberal educators now overwhelmingly outnumber their conservative counterparts by a 12-1 margin, I’m sad to report “Project Assimilation” is succeeding.

The incessant onslaught from social conditioning leaves a trail of carnage far greater than any singular battle or standing army.  How else could you convince millions or voters and a majority of millennials that America is an evil empire built upon unrivaled injustice; that capitalism is the root of our problems instead of a transcendent engine of discovery, an economic ladder of opportunity, to liberate mankind from the ransomed dependency of unchecked government? How else could any American justify silencing free speech in our communities, let alone physically attacking intellectual diversity in our supposed institutions of higher learning…key cogs of any civilized society built upon human discourse and the natural dichotomy of competing ideas? I don’t need to bathe my senses in a filtered pool of mass conformity to realize the bubbles are America’s last breaths. And I sure don’t need to kneel before the altar of Howard Zinn to be baptized by half-truths beneath the sanctimonious drivel of progressive brain surgeons.  I just need to breathe and think for myself without the euthanized consent of Big Brother.

The left’s opposition to Betsy DeVos goes far beyond contested credentials and the informal grammar of “tweets”. Her confirmation as Secretary of Education is a tangible threat to their monopoly on the minds of future voters. When educational excellence becomes the bell curve of mediocrity and behavioral problems become the gold standard of appeasement, why shouldn’t parents reserve the right to reallocate their tax dollars for the private instruction of their children?  People’s hard-earned paychecks aren’t signed permission slips granting moonlighting political advocates the means to abolish the occupational integrity of objective learning. They now represent the voided vouchers of public trust in government.

Have you ever asked yourself who writes your child’s textbooks, investigated the publishers political associations or wondered what was the true genesis of the Common Core curriculum? I can assure you it’s by no means a coincidence or the ongoing subject matter of a PBS investigation. When a public educator stomps on the American flag in the classroom or zealously demonstrates a mock assassination of the President, it’s of little surprise when God is expelled for Right Wing “extremism” or a boy exercising his First Amendment rights is sent home for wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat. The fact students as young as elementary school are now being berated by teachers for not supporting Democratic candidates and/or liberal views is as disgraceful as it is abusive. There is madness and then there are publicly funded lies contributing to an ideological coup d’état: more commonly known as sedition or treason.

Do not believe for one moment the same radicalized forces willing to tear down monuments in a mad rush of misappropriation, including those so-called cultured celebrities openly cursing and threatening the President on national TV like rabid animals, would not hesitate in punishing conservative viewpoints, solely defining racism as white supremacy, replacing our national flag or allowing the government to seize property in the name of ‘common good’. Mob justice born from cultivated hate has little concern with individual rights, moral objectivity or due process. Marxism’s goal is revolution through conditioned ignorance, a perceived state of perpetual victimization, to replace the supposed injustice of economic inequality with a politically oppressive, totalitarian regime. In essence, the liberty to achieve and believe as you please is stiffled so “the people” can be better controlled by an elite ruling class, or more profoundly, a singular despot. It is, by definition, the very anti-thesis of human evolution and America’s founding charter: our desire to think, feel and prosper according to our own unique gifts without undue interference or hostility.

My goal is not to disregard or pardon America’s historical transgressions for those are cultural scars, indelible reminders, of how far we have progressed as a nation. My goal is remind “We the People” that the Constitution, and not the flawed cultural norms of any era, provided the blueprint for overcoming our most daunting challenges and blatant injustices.  For the 1.6% of Americans that owned slaves during the height of the Antebellum period, how many textbooks laud the over half a million whites who suffered and/or died to end human bondage? Do they mention or label Portugal as rampant “racists” accountable for importing 5 million black slaves to toil in their Brazilian gold mines; a number 15 times greater than those servants transported to America? How much credit is given to those Northern evangelical Christians who spearheaded the movement to both topple human bondage and secure suffrage for blacks? Is there any mention of how 46% of Democrats, compared to only 18% of Republicans, opposed a woman’s right to vote some 50 years later and therefore attempted to filibuster a formal vote on the 19th Amendment before its ultimate ratification in 1920? And lastly, were “Native” Americans not “nomadic” tribes who displaced/conquered other settlers, who slaughtered each other in droves over “territory” and who routinely enslaved enemies or engaged in slave trading? Or perhaps I should complain my non-native American “privilege” does not include free land, tax exemptions or a complimentary college education despite engaging in such historical depravity.

Contrary to the bland rhetoric of seasoned revisionists, history was never intended to be a politically correct menu of partisan delicacies passed around among pompous critics. It is but a vigilant reminder of the innate fallibility of man and our imperfect legacy as a global society. Whereas older generations endeavor to never forget about ravages of war, poverty or the threat of Communism, younger generations are endeavoring to forget everything history has taught us; most notably, that America was born from the ashes of tyranny and the creeping censorship of blind subjugation. And what exactly has leftist academia learned from the mass oppression and murder of dissidents under Stalin, Hitler, Mao or Castro? What textbooks or lesson plans have been adopted to warn our sons and daughters about an Islamic creed that still justifies and contributes to 1400 years of bloodshed, intolerance and misogyny? If you choose to label capitalism as the gospel of greed, please inform Cloward & Piven that capitalism has liberated far more from poverty – built more bridges, hospitals and universities – than the noble bread lines of socialism. The inevitable inequality of achievement, differing degrees of success born from the unequal application of ambition and sacrifice, is by no means an indictment of social or economic injustice.  The best thing to happen to old, lingering Marxists is naïve, young millennials allergic to the aroma of common sense.

Instead of reaffirming America’s founding charter – those values, liberties and innovative discoveries that have repeatedly transcended modern civilization – progressive educators are promoting hate and conformity to exact political supremacy: i.e., think as we do, Government is your master, entitlements are your birthright. Whether you’re a Republican or Democrat, there is no excuse for disparaging intellectual diversity or suffocating a universal beacon of hope and liberty. The quickest way to handicap a child and ensure the demise of a free nation is to hijack the very tool of their empowerment…education.  If students lack the critical thinking skills to decipher historical context from modern exploitation, dissect political propaganda from non-partisan prudence, how can any civilization forge a brave new path that both evolves from the struggles of its past without destroying the ideological cornerstones of its future?

The nonnegotiable function of our educational system is not to fund or streamline militant radicalization, the adopted anti-American indoctrination camps of our youth, but to provide a quality, competitive curriculum that fosters an ingrained knowledge, if not an undying appreciation, of the timeless ideals America was founded upon: freedom, limited government, faith, hard work, accountability and duty. Honoring America does not require inciting division or demonizing dissent to suffocate the last gasps of individuality and independent thought. It rightfully demands honoring our youth, their parents, and those responsible teachers who still believe political terrorists have no place in our classrooms.
