Death of Democracy by gibraltarium
How many times in the past couple years have you heard from some socialist Democrat about the crying need to preserve “our democracy” from all those Americans who have the temerity to disagree with their vision for the future? More times than you can count, I’m willing to bet. It’s like, for them, “democracy” is some sort of secular deity that no one would dare to disagree with. It seems to ruin their whole day when some of us do.
Most who have had the misfortune to have had to attend a public school were never taught the difference between a republic and a democracy. I can’t recall ever hearing the two differentiated, though maybe I did and have just forgotten. School was long, long ago for me. Continue reading
Folks, it’s time to break the cycle of abuses – cruel, brutal, immoral, unconstitutional and unacceptable – that have been heaped upon us by the government for way too long.
Joe Biden’s policies have been an unmitigated disaster. Even the lefties know that, but they gaslight us and pretend Joe is another Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Annual southwest border apprehensions exceeded 405,500 just once during the last presidency, in fiscal year 2019, when they hit 860,000. Trump responded with the successful “Remain in Mexico” program, driving illegal migration down again. 
The biggest migrant caravan for 18 months set off for the US from Mexico on Christmas Eve as border crossing records continue to tumble.
I always like watching all the old ‘Scrooge’ movies on TV at this time of year. I prefer the black and white ones. I picture London being black and white in 1843, when Charles Dickens penned the tale – and in fact, Benjamin Franklin described old London as being a smokey, dark place in the mid 1700s. One of the best film versions is the 1935 one starring Seymour Hicks. When he contritely visits his nephew and his nephew’s new wife at the end, he takes a moment to look at their Christmas tree. He sheds a tear because it’s so beautiful.
Most Americans know the plot well. The despondent Charlie Brown who just can’t work up his Christmas cheer amidst crass commercialism. The confident and obnoxious Lucy, who finds the allegedly perfect solution to Charlie Brown’s gloom. The ill-fated Christmas pageant, which confirms Charlie Brown’s status as a loser. And finally, the rebirth of Christmas cheer that comes through Linus’ recitation of the original Christmas story.
One cannot help but notice that Christmas is once again upon us; from the decorations outside people’s homes, to the frantic sales in the stores to boost year end sales. Yet, has Christmas become so commercialized that we have forgotten what we are celebrating? Putting aside the fact that Christ was probably born in April, not December, we are celebrating the birth of the most important human being who ever lived. I have always felt that Christmas was becoming too commercialized, but this year that sentiment is made more poignant by the fact that I have undergone a spiritual awakening, of sorts, over the past 12 months. Christmas, to me, is not about the decorating, the gift giving, or the big family meal; it is about remembering, “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” 
In 2019, San Mateo High School, just south of San Francisco, became the largest school in the United States to 
Children’s ‘growth mindset’, characters and attitudes to learning have little impact on how well they do at school, according to a new study.
Everybody can see what Joe Biden is doing on the border is outrageous and illegal, and yet, no one is stopping him for a lack of supposed “authority” or just a lack of will and sheer damned laziness. Some are fine with his treason, while others are waiting for a “peaceful transfer of power” through the 2024 election, which I suspect will be anything but “peaceful”.
At this time of year we think about celebrating Christmas, which to many folks is anything but spiritual. it’s a time to eat, get drunk, and insult the relatives you haven’t seen in a year. I realize lots of folks don’t like all this “religious” stuff so I expect my readership for this article and others like it will be down. That’s okay. I have to say what I say and I’m not out to win a popularity contest. Spiritual things are important, even if many don’t want to admit that.
