Power corrupts the morals and the judgment. There is no clearer message from history. I often tell people that if I were elected to office and put in charge of spending a billion dollars, I’d believe that I was smart enough to spend it wisely. This is nonsense. None of our politicians balance the budget. They borrow money every year in greater and greater amounts to fund programs that keep the citizenry happy, at least happy enough to keep the whole house of cards building.

Which brings us to the words that best describe what we have in this country; two governments, one elected and another unelected. We refer to this other government as the “Deep State”. Last August, NBC said that “It feels like there are two governments working against each other”. This sentiment has been noted by others throughout the years including the mayor of New York John F. Hylan (1918-1925) and Senator Daniel K. Inouye who said, “There exists a shadowy government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of the national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself.” I also believe there is this shadow government made up of bureaucracies that regulate and control our lives, many times in ways we’re not even aware.

By being re-elected time after time or by being in a bureaucracy for years, your power is unabated. You hone your skills in exercising that power and for many, corruption is a natural outplaying of the circumstance. It would be unfair to say all, but I maintain that many of those in powerful positions have over time entered depraved activities like child sex trafficking, drug running, and participation in occult rituals. That may be a bold statement, but when the limits of legitimate power have been reached and someone wants more, the only alternative is to seek power in the depraved parts of our culture. The same can be said for the entertainment industry.

The workings of the Deep State cannot be denied though I’ve seen a couple people try; The long and short of it is this, the power in Washington D.C. and Hollywood have had a long run lasting decades. The Bible says, be sure your sins will find you out; and their/our sins are about to be exposed. There is much hidden. Uncovering it will be debilitating to the economy and destroy the confidence of the public.

This is just a reminder of why Donald Trump was elected and that is to expose the Deep State and destroy its power over our nation. He will succeed with your prayers. We’ve got to want it if we’re going to get it. The fight will get worse. The left has a scorched earth policy, it’s their way or destroy the nation. I believe, with God’s help, we will win.

2017 Foreign Aid Libya 78 million, Mexico 289 million, Sudan 193 million, South Africa 500 million, Iran 477 thousand, Venezuela 14 million, Haiti 306 million and the list goes on and on. I would bet that hardly anyone knows what this money is spent on. What is it we get for this aid?
nose is, of course, to get these countries to do our will. I remember years ago the ambassador to Romania wrote a book called (I think) Pinstripes and Reds. The U.S. was giving aid on condition the government would stop religious persecution. But they continued bulldozing churches, persecuting Christians, in short, they got the money anyway.

That’s why the Benghazi thing went down the way it did. The buck doesn’t stop until someone dies and then maybe not even then.

Western culture produced western thinking. When I say west, I mean the United States. Europe long ago abandoned much of the foundation that undergirds our western culture and the United States is being pushed over that same cliff.

Western movies and television shows expressed best what our culture was about. There were good guys (white hats) and bad guys (black hats). There was a right and a wrong. Gary North, an American historian spelled it out and I paraphrase, “it was cowardice vs. honor, the defense of private property, law enforcement, and the moral limits of vengeance. It was the combination of individualistic yet bourgeois-supportive”.

Our culture is supported by these four pillars mentioned. Westerns gave kids examples they needed to understand what’s morally sound. It was well known that some things ain’t right. If the majority of men are cowards, if private property is not defended by law, if law enforcement becomes corrupt, and if there are no limits on personal vengeance, then we risk losing our western culture. Liberty will be lost.

The sixties changed everything. A young president was assassinated, the war in Vietnam, the music and sexual revolution, and a new “great government-dependant society was born. We now sit at the door of a new culture iteration. We’ve had socialism light for years thanks to FDR and LBJ. Our children have been instructed in government-run schools which teach them that America is an evil country because it gives people freedom. Freedom to think, say, believe anything they want. They are believers in idiotic ideas dreamed up by damaged minds, ideas that promise the moon with no way to get there.

I see the hatred expressed for anything from the past and I fear a fight may be coming. Hatred leads to violence. Don’t think the hatemongers aren’t above a bloody revolution. They say they won’t take no for an answer. I think they mean it. They have no option but violence. The members of the Democrat/leftist/LBGTQABC/Muslim hate crowd are young and of huge numbers. I’m hoping there are just enough of us who remember the creed of our culture; this ain’t right. I’ve had enough of what ain’t right. I’m hoping the majority of us aren’t cowards.

We know who they are. They’re Californians. Fruity people with nutty ideas. Not all of course but enough to make California a laughing stock in heaven. There’s no need to enumerate the stumbling blocks that make up their philosophy; we know they’re at the forefront of progressive lunacy. Their thinking is the source of their problems. Many are now leaving the state because screwed up ideas have consequences and that is a big problem for the states they move to.

They sell their homes for big money and buy in other states for a much less. The price of homes is driven up making it hard on the local citizens to live. That’s only the half of it. The California way of doing things is gradually forced upon the communities occupied. The fruity ideas are eventually forced upon the city/state they move to. Idaho is one such place where you used to move to get away from progressive tyranny. It was “safe” there, safe from the overreach of big brother.

Sadly, nothing remains the same. Arrogant people always know more about how you should live your life and are more than willing to pass laws to make you comply with their demands. This corruption of freedom is now epidemic in the United States. The filth emanating from our colleges and Hollywood effect us all and even has spread to the whole world.

In much the same way, California has allowed Hispanics to bring their wrong-headed culture into our country. Last year 120 people running for office in Mexico were assassinated. This is normal for them and by the rhetoric of the left, I believe it’s the direction we are heading. Mexico has a murder rate of 17 per 100,000, the U.S. has a rate of 5.3 (2016 figures). Granted that Mexico is fighting a war with the drug cartels but this should bolster the argument that we must carefully monitor who comes across our border. In short, we need a wall and it is California lunatic ideas that fight it. If their ideas prevail, the cartels will overrun our country too. Progressives are either stupid or consciously evil. Build a wall or destroy the nation.

Immigrants come to this country for a better life, a life their old country didn’t offer. As an aside, this proves that America is not a racist country. If it were, all those other races wouldn’t come here. It’s just the homegrown ethnic groups that have been given an ax to grind for a purely political purpose that feels America is racist.

We used to have immigrants work for us. They worked hard, were dependable, and came back year after year to work for us. One of them spoke fairly good English and of course, ended up being a foreman as he could communicate in the language of business. He tried for citizenship but became disenchanted with the process and difficulty of it all. So he moved back to Hermosillo. He started a business there and has done quite well.

Last year his sons moved to the United States. They became citizens, no small feat. They have excellent jobs and are a great asset to this country. They are just like their father, hard-working, honest, and knowing that learning English gave him a huge step up in life. His sons learned that too. They are doing well. They are Americans of the highest order. It’s good to have them here.
