America cannot remain on its current trajectory forever, pushing constantly for more growth and more spending as our so-called “leaders” unchain the federal government from any and all real restraint, violating the Constitution even as they put on a good front – talking points and all – of trying to reduce spending and the size of the federal government. They may end one agency, but two more spring up, and although many often refer to our Congress as “the Swamp”, nothing has become more apparent than the fact it’s one big, nasty Sewer that leaves everything it touches covered in political bullshit far and away from anything the people truly ever asked to receive or even wanted.

America was born in defiance. The Revolution was not polite debate in drawing rooms; it was muskets fired at redcoats, pamphlets smuggled through towns, and men willing to risk the gallows for liberty. Thomas Paine captured the spirit when he wrote of the “summer soldier and sunshine patriot” – those who shrink from the hard work of freedom, waiting to reap the rewards after others have bled.

Today, America faces a storm no less dangerous. The Constitution has been bent and broken by generations of presidents who expanded power beyond recognition. Surveillance cameras watch us, bureaucrats tax our homes, and the boot of government presses harder with each passing year. The promise of liberty – the promise of Jefferson, Madison, and Paine – has been betrayed.

And betrayal breeds consequences.

Our country remains in a state of chaos as we watch one Democrat Commie state after another work to subvert the republic every bit as hard as they did under Obama and his treasonous tribe, a treason that has been ongoing and reaches into our courts and the administrative state – into every segment of government still to this day. A terrible thing born of tyranny and those who would defile and destroy America.

America’s enemies-from-within have set a collision course for America’s true patriots. By expanding the state, eroding property rights, and weaponizing culture, they are driving wedges and striking deep wounds that cannot be easily healed. If liberty is not reclaimed, the pressure will build until conflict and even greater civil upheaval erupts – in fact, another full-blown blazing hot civil war coursing its way across all of America.

I full well expect that despite all the good Trump has done regarding the border controls and energy, it is too little too late, especially when his administration is also committing many egregious errors too on several fronts. And as I have stated several previous times, the hard men who love America will find a day upon them when the circumstances force them to fight for America on Her shores for their own very survival, laying the Democrat Party Communists low and dead on the ground, ten feet high and ten feet deep all about them in all directions.

And for me, it cannot come soon enough, as I long to see the forces of Life, Truth and Liberty emerge on the other side of the chaos and fires or civil war, victorious and free once more to rebuild America better than before, never to make the mistakes again that have brought Her to this sorry current state, where our inalienable God-given rights seem to be bought and sold as an afterthought rather than defended with ferocity by men who actually love America.

Stay tuned for more on this issue… J.O.S.
