The Republican Debate

"Peter" has some thoughts on the GOP Debate.

The GOP Candidate Debates

The best line came from Brett Baier, “The elephant not in the room”; referring obviously to the least-liked former POTUS, Donald Trump. Trump will be Biden’s age before he finishes another term in office. But there is no chance of the GOP taking the White House, let alone the House or Senate, if Trump is their nominee. He is despised by far too many Republicans and Independents, who would vote for Biden – or anyone else - over Trump.

 

The RNC is obviously worried about Vivek Ramaswamy. He was interrupted and attacked more than any other candidate. But he did himself in when he said he would not continue the funding for the defense of Ukraine.

 

Pence was rude and interrupting beneath his façade of sanctimony. He held his chin a bit too high.

 

Christie made some good points, but he still comes off as too “New Jersey” and too fat.

 

Haley scored some points with women by quoting Margaret Thatcher, “If you want something done right, ask a woman”. But we all knew that; our wives had already said it.

 

DiSantis scored more points than any of the others and had what he’s done in Florida for proof. His best comment was that, as POTUS, he would use US Special Forces inside Mexico to root out cartel bosses and kill them; and any cartel soldiers or drug smugglers who crossed our border.

 

Tim Scott seems a nice guy who just isn’t ready.

 

Doug Burgum is a firebrand for his age, but he doesn’t have the necessary experience.

 

Asa Hutchinson, also getting up there in age, was just barely hanging on by his fingernails.

 

All in all DiSantis appears to have taken his lead even farther. Here’s hoping he can dethrone The Donald.

To Serve, Protect, Uphold and Defend

To Serve, Protect, Uphold and Defend

 

"Peter" has some thoughts about those who have sworn oaths to uphold the Constitution.

 

If you have ever served in the US Military, or if you have ever served as a federal, state or local law enforcement officer, you have Sworn an Oath. You have Sworn to Uphold, Support and Defend the United States Constitution. You have also Sworn to Serve and Protect the Citizens of the United States of America.

 

Your Oath is not temporary, or a matter of convenience. It is for Life. It does not expire. It does not come and go according to political whims. It is not political in any way. It is a promise to conduct yourself Honorably and to be Faithful to your Duty as a Patriot and as an Officer of the Law. The United States of America is a Nation of Laws. It is your Duty to Uphold the Law.

 

Our Institutions of Law, such as the FBI and the USDOJ are under attack, corrupted from the top down. FBI Agents are being told to overlook evidence of crimes. In the case of the Secret Service, they are being told to turn a blind eye to illegal activity in the White House. The US Border Patrol is being held back from enforcing our Immigration Laws.

 

At the State and Local level Police and Sheriff’s Deputies are being told by corrupt District Attorneys to disregard certain Laws, and to allow criminals to go free without bail so they can continue to commit their crimes. Citizens are unsafe in their own neighborhoods and shopping districts because of pervasive violent crime.

 

How can this situation exist in a country where millions of men and women have Sworn to Protect and Defend their fellow citizens? These millions of Sworn Officers not only have a right to Uphold the Law, they have a Duty to their Oath.

 

Whether you are a Veteran, or an active duty or retired Law Enforcement Officer, you must not shirk your duty to Uphold the Law. You must not turn a blind eye to violations of the Law, or conceal evidence under orders from above. Such orders are also violations of the Law. Stand and Deliver Justice!

 

Fail in your Duty at your Peril. The Nation will crumble unless you stand firm in your allegiance to your Oath.

Marxist Power in the USA

"Peter" has some thoughts about Marxism in the USA.

How did the Marxists gain so much power in the USA under the noses of our FBI and NSA?

 

The Marxist socialists have taken control of the democratic party. They have infiltrated our school systems and control most teacher’s unions. They hold powerful political offices in many of our major cities, including prosecutor’s offices and police departments. As a result, crime has skyrocketed and cities have devolved into high violence and slow police response.

 

People are fleeing in huge numbers from blue states to red states to be safe under conservative leadership. Inner city decay and homelessness are now considered the new normal. Politicians are deluded into thinking that less policing will help; or they know it won’t help and they push for defunding the police because they are anti-American Marxists.

 

We are approaching a new, Great Depression that will make the last one seem tame by comparison. But this didn’t happen overnight.

 

We are the frog in the boiling pot. Our schools have been very slowly changing curricula over decades so that parents wouldn’t notice. Slowly indoctrinating students in Marxist philosophy while, at the same time, dumbing them down in the hard sciences, reading, math and foreign languages. Dulling their critical thinking. Giving trophies for “participating” rather than for actual achievement.

 

Now that that part of their conspiracy has been accomplished, they are corrupting vulnerable, confused kids with transgender ideology; again, without the knowledge or permission of the parents.

 

This is, literally, the age of zombies. Young adults are casting votes without the critical thinking they should have had. Their vision is blurred with a constant barrage of Marxist propaganda and a lack of real-world experience. They outnumber the more mature adults by a considerable percentage.

 

The US Department of Education leads the charge against parochial schools nationwide. The USDOJ and the FBI have followed with threats of prosecution of parents for “disrupting” school board meetings and civil rights violations for opposing transgender ideology in the schoolroom.

 

Our private Christian and Jewish schools are being attacked constantly by the Marxist-controlled media and our own government, which insist that we must accept transgender ideology and the rest of the Marxist playbook or be found in violation of whatever they can concoct. Look what they’ve done to Trump, a former POTUS and current front-runner for the GOP nomination next year. Four indictments, both state and federal, for multiple felony counts, and all coordinated to hit him in a very short span of time; so that he will be busy in several courts during the primary season next year. Coincidence or conspiracy?

 

This is 1984 on steroids! Unfortunately, we may be past the point of no return. If a democrat is elected to the White House in 2024, the Marxist vise will tighten until we all surrender or go to prison as revolutionaries. There will be no middle ground with these Marxists.

The U.S. is now officially a Banana Republic.

The U.S. is now officially a Banana Republic.

"Peter" has some thoughts on our standing in the world.

The Fed has raised interest rates again…

The US credit rating has been lowered…

The stock market is plunging…

The MSM hasn’t yet noticed any of it…

Once again, former POTUS Trump is the shiny object, deflecting everyone’s attention away from important matters to “creative” prosecution and imaginary misdemeanors. Jack Smith is bootstrapping his budding novelist fantasies with prosecution after prosecution, persecution after persecution of Trump, timed (coincidentally?) to coincide with the markers of US misfortunes under the Biden administration.

 

The MSM doesn’t do their due diligence on the Trump charges, they just use them to provide media cover for the Biden failures.

 

The MSM doesn’t report that these charges against Trump are unprecedented in history. They don’t explain that many of these charges against Trump are creative and have never before been filed; that many of these charges are not based on existing criminal statutes, or that they will never survive SCOTUS scrutiny.

 

Jack Smith doesn’t care if he loses in court, as long as he can keep Trump off the 2024 ballot. It’s not about justice, its about politics. The US is now officially a Banana Republic!

The Left is Screaming Again About “Climate Change”

California family on hike found dead from heat exhaustion.

 

The temperatures in the US this summer are high and some careless people in places like Death Valley have expired. Those who have died chose to hike on hot trails without taking along water. They died not from the excessive heat, but from stupidity.

 

But the Marxist ideologues of the Left are claiming that “climate change” is to blame. Lets look at the facts:

 

During the “dust bowl” period of the 1930’s the heat index was FOUR TIMES what it has been this year. People died then, during the Great Depression, from famine and hunger, but not usually from the heat. They had enough common sense to stay hydrated and out of the sun’s glare.

 

Today we have spoiled, catered to, weak people who have been indoctrinated rather than taught to be critical thinkers. Their politics speak to their weak thought processes and their lack of common sense, as well as their propensity to place blame inappropriately when tragedies befall them; or when they are reporting a tragedy in the media.

 

Don’t listen to these thoughtless people who want to blame “climate change” for every tragedy involving the weather. Man cannot change the climate or the weather and is, likewise, not to blame for either.

 

The tragedies are due to natural causes brought about by Nature.
