There are times that writers take a step away – and provide us with something to enjoy – and take a look at things from a different aspect. ~ Editor

The sun was beginning to settle behind the western ridge, when I pulled an old wooden chair out onto the back porch, set my coffee beside me, and leaned back far enough that the chair gave a little groan beneath my weight. I took that as a good sign. A chair that has known you for twenty years and still complains when you sit down is a chair with character, and I have always trusted character more than furniture advertised as “ergonomically engineered.”

The evening was one of those soft Southern evenings that seem to arrive without making much fuss about it. The heat of the day was finally giving up, the trees along the fence line had turned almost black against the orange sky, and somewhere down in the hollow a bird was making the last argument of the day about whether it intended to go to sleep or keep everybody else awake until midnight.

The most serious threat to American liberty today is not a single cabal but a convergence of three powerful institutions — the national-security bureaucracy, the global technology industry, and the administrative regulatory state — that together create a system of soft despotism that is far more durable than any elected official.

This convergence is not a Trump invention, but it has not been dismantled by President Donald Trump either; in important ways, it was accelerated, normalized, and in some cases weaponized during his presidency, even as he rhetorically fought it. The result is a rapidly emerging single “new American order” imposed by a master plan and America’s technocrats, and something more insidious and more likely: a dystopian drift that could indeed end in civil upheaval if citizens lose faith that the system can be reformed from within. The danger is not that one man is a puppet; it is that the machine is stronger than any man, and that the American people have not yet decided whether they want to break it or merely curse it.

There comes a time in the life of a country when a man ought to stop listening to what the politicians say they are doing and start looking carefully at what they are actually doing. Continue reading →

Real Freedom in America Never Came for Free!

Come what may over the next decade, should I be so fortunate to live so long, I won’t go quiet if things take a turn for the worse – Heaven Forbid – and our nation’s commies take all three branches of government into their destructive, filthy hands. I won’t back down.

The future promises to be one helluva ride… Continue reading →

The first shots were fired in Ohio, although for several weeks afterward nobody could agree upon what they meant. There had been violence before, enough of it that Americans had grown accustomed to the vocabulary devised to make violence sound less frightening than it was. A shooting outside a courthouse became an “altercation.” An attack upon a federal facility became an “isolated incident.” A confrontation between opposing political demonstrations became a “disturbance.”

Armed groups that appeared in the streets were described according to the sympathies of whoever was doing the describing, so that one faction’s militia became another faction’s domestic terrorists, while one side’s revolutionaries were another side’s defenders of democracy. There had been assassinations and attempted assassinations, attacks upon police, assaults upon politicians, riots in several cities, and occasional gun battles between organizations whose names were becoming familiar to Americans who had once known little about political extremism. Yet the government and the press had been reluctant to use the one phrase that might have forced the country to confront the truth.

That phrase was civil war. The words carried too much history. They belonged to photographs of dead boys in gray and blue uniforms, to burned towns and amputated limbs, to Appomattox and Gettysburg, to a generation that had once believed its political differences were so fundamental that bloodshed was preferable to compromise. Americans of the twenty-first century preferred to believe they were more civilized than that. They were about to discover that civilization is not something a people possesses permanently. It is something a people must continually choose. Continue reading →

On the morning of August 20th 2032, the President of the United States looked out through the tall windows of the East Room and saw a city that no longer seemed entirely certain of itself. Washington had always possessed a peculiar confidence, the confidence of a place in which decisions were made, and consequences happened somewhere else, beyond the Potomac, beyond the marble facades and guarded doors. Even when the country was angry, Washington generally seemed serene.

Traffic still moved along Pennsylvania Avenue, flags still stirred above the government buildings, tourists still photographed the Capitol, and somewhere inside the vast machinery of the federal government a clerk was always filling out a form that another clerk would eventually approve. But that morning the city seemed different. There were National Guard vehicles at several intersections, barricades around the Capitol, and clusters of police officers standing beneath the summer trees.

The previous night’s demonstrations had continued until nearly dawn, and although the official statement from the White House described them as “isolated disturbances,” everybody in Washington knew that the phrase was intended less to describe reality than to create it. Continue reading →

…and What – if Anything have we learned in all of these years?

When our leaders first let Muslims to immigrate to America and set up shop, so to speak, with all that means, it was the greatest mistake that any past leaders had ever made in all of American history, and I believe what we have witnessed from this demographic within our country bears out the truth of my assertion.

In 2010, I had already been tracking Muslim immigration and population numbers in America for over thirty years. From my own research, taking in the top studies of the day, there were ten million Muslims in America at that time, contrary to the three million suggested by the U.S. census for that year. And those numbers have grown exponentially by millions more, given the numbers of refugees that fled to America during our wars in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan, to the absolute, readily observable detriment of all America.

America’s communists believe they are in ascendence today and about to take the nation, but when one looks closely at the Red-Green Alliance between the Democrat Party and Democratic Socialists of America and Islam in America, it appears that America’s Muslims are wagging the dog, so to speak, and have largely taken control over the political narrative on the Far Left today, advancing an agenda that benefits them far more than anyone else in the country.

We may never be able to completely rid the land of Muslims and communists, but we must fight like hell to cleanse our country of their presence using every tool and means at our disposal or simply watch as the American people fall into a trap of control, oppression and tyranny, where Christianity and liberty are eradicated for the most part.

People will say, “Oh, that will never happen here” even as it already has.

There are moments in the history of a republic when the deepest questions are not questions of policy, party, or personalities, but questions of first principles. Such moments arise when a government claims a power that the people never granted it, when an institution entrusted with enforcing a constitution begins to behave as though it were empowered to rewrite one, or when generations become so accustomed to a particular constitutional arrangement that they cease to ask the most elementary question of all:

Was it ever lawfully established in the first place?

This is something we all hope will never come to pass in America, but the way things have gone in the country since 2008, it’s not out of the realm of possibilities, depending on what direction America chooses after Trump is gone. Let’s hope and pray this is really just a figment of my imagination and not a prophecy of things to come.

If things should ever really play out as I describe in this essay and I live to see it, I’ll be old as dirt, depending on just how fast our decline moves — I’m thinking we’ll see major civil upheavals by 2935 due to several economic factors coming into the dynamic that year – and I’ll probably be more than ready to call it a day and slip on into the Great Beyond.

But not before I take a few thousand of America’s enemies along with me – pulling the trigger while sittin’ on my front porch if it comes down to it… Continue reading →

America may have been founded upon freedom and liberty, but our Constitution was never intended to be a suicide pact and a tool, for foreign and domestic enemies alike, to use to destroy Her. The nation was founded upon several well-reasoned Western and Christian principles, to serve, protect and defend all who came to Her shores, and they work perfectly well when wielded by moral people intent on living in equality under the law rather than seeking privilege above and beyond the natural and inalienable God-given rights of all men and women; and those principles and this Constitution were never meant to pave the way for foreign anti-freedom and anti-American tyrannical ideologies to carve out a place within our country and proceed to hollow out our rule of law and destroy everything good and decent that was used to build America.

I did a good bit of reflection, as I churned out this piece, and decided that most people walk many a crooked mile before reaching the pinnacle point and the culmination of their life, and I suspect many a hard moments thought goes into shaping the people in America’s society who prove to be what the majority of Americans view as “successful”. But for me, it’s always been the case that what most would call “success”, I always saw as chains forged around my neck, ankles and wrists and a prison that made it hard to breathe.

Looking back in my mind’s eye, I recalled sitting on beach of Ft. San Lorenzo, drinking espresso and rolling sharks’ teeth in the palm of my hand, that I found in the shallows — sun drenched and considering a shot of whiskey later. And then I saw Deana’s [an old girlfriend] fine tight little ass as the church bells pealed on a Sunday morning, with ‘Sunday Morning Coming Down‘ playing in the background. I’m thinking of her legs, surfing the waves, and Jesus walking on the water — and the dark, chaotic night the birthed me, deep in the heart of nowhere in Ft. Riley, Kansas in 1957.

Life was full of intrigues, mysteries and adventures that only a young boy can find on his own, not too dissimilar from what one will find in Mark Twain’s ‘Adventures of Huck Finn‘. Continue reading →

              Sons & Daughters of Liberty: A Lead up to Revolution – Virtual Americana

Listen, you Sons and Daughters of the Republic and Liberty, to the wind howling across the plains and through the mountain passes where our forefathers carved liberty from wilderness and blood. This is no gentle discourse for parlor rooms. This is a roar from the heart of a nation under siege — not by foreign armies with banners flying, but by enemies within, cloaked in academic robes, political suits, and the smiling masks of compassion.

I had been giving the American miracle some significant amount of thought over the past few weeks, as the 250th Anniversary of America’s Independence loomed closer, and I wanted to provide and entirely upbeat, positive view for America’s future, as I wrote the following essay. But we must acknowledge all the bad and those matters and people dragging Her under today, in order to be able to present any truthful assessment for what Her future may hold.

I love America more than anything in the world, except for my daughters and grandchildren and great-grandchildren – and perhaps Hershey Chocolate Bars – and all Her fauna, the woods and the wilds with the babbling brooks, flowing streams and raging rivers, from Percy Priest Lake to the New River and on through the Appalachian Mountains across the Mississippi and the Wide Missouri on to the Continental Divide, Rocky Mountains, Wind River and all the way out to the Columbia River Gorge, Whidby Island and Deception Pass and back down to the surf at Laguna Bay.

Every red-blooded American patriot should be more alarmed than ever by what we are witnessing all across the nation today, this very minute, as communist candidates are winning elections for Congress and mayor seats, under the guise and the banner of the Democrat Socialists of America, while their foot soldiers of Antifa, Black Lives Matter and Islam remain in the streets assaulting, even murdering folks they think are conservative liberty-minded anti-communists. This has been going on since at least 2014, and those within the Democrat Party are complicit, giving a wink and a nod to the violent tactics of those “mostly peaceful” protests, or they cower in fear and are simply afraid to fight back against these communists, from a position that seeks to safeguard their own re-election hopes.

Whatever the case, the Democrat Party Communists are the largest threat America faces today. And they are winning elected seats in all levels of government, because far too many people in American today are enthralled by their message of “Free Stuff for Everybody” – and they either are too damned ignorant and effing dumb to understand that it comes at a great cost to one’s individual liberty, or they do understand and simply don’t care, because their desire for free stuff overrides their desire for freedom.

A song I recently “discovered” on TikTok, entitled ‘Alone’, had a theme of unimaginable acceptance of death and a defeatist attitude that made me hurt for the person who was so low in his life to even have thought to create such a song. It made me contemplate how many men and women might be in just such similar circumstances, that they view their daily lives as a burden and prefer to welcome death, as if finding a new friend. Continue reading →

Back when I was a younger man I used to outwork any two men – well, maybe not any. I did have a great friend, Irvin Harrell who’d go step for step with me on any given day of the week. But the amazing thing was that the older I got the more I saw young men who were doing half the work I used to do getting paid twice the money; by the time I hit 50, I could outwork any three – of what passed for men on any given day of the week.

Nowadays, we see these young guys wanting to pick and choose what they will or won’t do, while trying to get twice what they’re worth, always looking for the easy way out, rather than taking the first job they can find and working it as if they appreciated having a job, until they can do better.

~ Introduction ~

Have you ever stopped mid-scroll and wondered how machines seem to understand you? From finishing your sentences to recommending exactly what you want to watch, it almost feels human – but there’s something deeper behind it all.

This new delve into the new monstrosity we know as Artificial Intelligence today is probably one of the most important matters a person can study and understand, if they hope to still be living free many years from today. It’s simply incredible the speed at which this administration is shoving America down the A.I. Road with so very little oversight and regardless of the fact that many millions of Americans reject it outright, or at the very least, they don’t want it in their backyard sucking up water, land and electric resources among many others.

The true test of any system does not come during abundance. It comes quietly. during the first season when there is not enough to go around.

America has already seen many rolling blackouts during periods of peak use of electricity in the summer and winter, and many areas of our country are already experiencing drought conditions for a variety of reasons, some of which is climate and a lot of it simply city expansions and water mismanagement, as witnessed all up and down the West Coast, in Arizona, Georgia and Nevada and elsewhere. Just imagine what happens when a new massive resource-sucking A.I. Processor Data Center is completed and starts functioning at peak capacity, as municipal boards, water authorities and grid managers increasingly spew phrases such as “load prioritization”, “non-interruptible industrial contracts”, and “contingency allocation protocols”.

This piece is just a little bit of me reflecting and perhaps waxing a lil’ philosophical, as I considered this thing called “life”.

We look all around us, and My God the waste we see exhibited in people too numbed to their own existence to see the prison bars they have erected around themselves willingly – becoming no better than the show bull with the ring in his nose that enables his owners to more easily handle him. We see slothful, demanding, entitled, greedy, do-nothing wrecks of humanity shuffling all about us each day, not that this is the case for all us mere mortals but more than enough to continuously drag society into the depths of decline and disrepair, plodding along obeying every nonsensical order or demand or “mandate” put out by the so-called “elites” and the powers-that-be without ever offering the first utterance of complaint.

A Rare Anti-Federalist Newspaper from December 1787, Signed in Type “Brutus”, Which Sought to Counter the Federalist Papers and Alexander Hamilton

Much of this is pretty simple for anyone who ever really studied American history and the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers. I had the basics of it down between my sophomore year in high school and my sophomore college year.

The problem remains that many Americans do know these truths, and yet they still choose to ignore and work against them in favor of an agenda that kills freedom and liberty for all, for their own benefit and gain and power.

The useful idiots have done the damage over the past 100 years, and now good, patriotic Americans are left to play hell in order to restore the nation under its founding principles.

There are moments in the life of a nation when the people must decide whether they will remain free men and women, or drift slowly, almost sleepwalking, into a condition of managed dependence. Such moments do not always arrive with cannon fire, smoke, and the open conquest of a visible enemy. More often they come wrapped in administrative language, softened by assurances, and sold as efficiency, compassion, progress, or safety. Yet the danger is no less real because it wears a polite face. A republic may lose its freedom the way a great house is consumed by termites: one hidden bite at a time, until the whole structure suddenly yields under its own weight. Continue reading →

Being one of the staunchest defenders of the Bill of Rights and our inalienable God-given rights, I have always been particularly incensed and angered each time I reflect back over these past events and the manner in which the government agents reacted. Afterwards, it was always the same tired refrain of “the officers were following the law“, “we were only following orders” or “they acted against orders” and in the meantime, good and decent Americans still lay in their graves, deprived of life and joys they would still be experiencing today, since I’m certain that at least LaVoy and Ashli were both young enough that they would be alive today had it not been for trigger-happy, scared-of-their shadow cowards or simply evil government agents far too eager to take another American’s life simply because he or she stood up for what is right, good and decent.
