“How many things are now called the worst evil, which are only twelve feet wide and three months long! But some day greater dragons will come into the world” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche, ‘Thus Spoke Zarasthustra‘ [January 1st 1883]
I’m an old man now, by some folks’ reckoning, and I don’t scare easy.
That ain’t bravado – just mileage. When you’ve watched the Clinch River flood and pull whole trees out by the roots, buried friends younger than you, and gone hungry in a way that don’t make the papers, fear starts to sort itself into piles. Some of it’s loud. Most of it ain’t worth giving a moment of your time.
I’ve been thinking lately about all the things I was once told were the worst evils a man could face. Funny thing is, every one of them had a size to it and a season attached. Continue reading
All the facts surrounding the ICE shooting of Alex Pretti still aren’t out, but I am of the mind that he absolutely got the ass beating he deserved – and maybe he did deserve to be shot if he still had his pistol on him and was reaching for it. But as near as I can gather, he was shot after he was disarmed, and if that’s the case – well Damn – ain’t that some real shit.
America is facing a coordinated ideological insurgency that uses immigration chaos, sanctuary policies, and far‑left protest movements and their useful communist Idiots as instruments of revolutionary change. This insurgency is seen as rooted in Marxist-Maoist ideology, supported by sympathetic institutions, and amplified – though not necessarily completely directed – by foreign adversaries and the financial backing of entities such as the Chinese Communist Party.
I look around at the modern world, and I see a pattern – a deliberate, well-worn path that leads always in the same direction. The headlines change, the slogans are rebranded, the hashtags sway with the wind, but the destination never does. The left’s moral crusades, when stripped of their sentimental packaging, all spiral back to one central obsession: the deconstruction of God’s design for sexuality, family, and moral order.
This is just a short little concise poem that shouldn’t require any real explanation for the average reader, I should think – that is – if they have been paying the slightest bit of attention over the past couple of decades. I always used to write with the assumption that my average reader would be somewhat intelligent enough to not require every little assertion of statement followed by paragraphs of proof, but as the years passed, well… You already know where I’m going with this.
So many of us are deeply troubled by the direction we find America following these days, and while all we want is to live free and peaceful lives, at every turn in the road, it appears that Big Government and its Big Brother agents have become ever more motivated to ensure that we can’t, as they add to our to our troubles unnecessarily so, each and every day in the name of our general well being and security – trampling and eroding our freedom and liberty every step of the way. 
This is what comes from “retiring” sooner than a man should. But truthfully, I must say I’m glad to be far and away removed from the madness of the corporate spinning and endless cycle of psychological bullshit aligned with all the politically correct programs that still persist in the corporate world today – that bullshit that ultimately led to the Woke movement and so many other detrimental and destructive programs across society, that which allowed the Transgendered Movement to grow to mammoth, militant proportions and tried to make the mutilation of children appear to be as ordinary as ordering a piece of apple pie at Mom’s Diner on 41A in Murfreesboro.
Trumpism embraces the best and the worst of two sides of the political aisle, in a frenetic fashion that sometimes supports and defends freedom and liberty while trampling both at other times. It is a pitchfork populism that isn’t really making the reforms to government necessary to take the American people along a path to truly living free, and instead, it is bringing closer to fruition the very thing that so many liberty minded Americans reject – a massive surveillance police state that is on track to remain and grow as an ever more mammoth and intrusive Big Brother/Nanny State, as President Trump cannot seem to divest himself of his statist and globalist inclinations.
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.
I truly do believe that President Trump really loves America, but for some inexplicable reason, his past connection with the Democrat Party and its propaganda really took hold of him in the early days. And despite all his protestations to the contrary, his Democrat leanings and proclivities continue to shine through his so-called “conservative” rhetoric on an almost weekly basis. One cannot truly trust that what he says today will be standing as his ironclad conviction tomorrow, and that is a maddening thing to witness, since it by its very nature acts as a subversive element against America and suggests that America’s own founding principles and convictions are of little or no consequence to him.
Many conservatives may have some problems with many things President Trump is doing in this second term, but to date, nothing he has done has been blatantly illegal, as depicted by six Democrat know-nothing seditious assholes recently. Now the same can’t be said for his first term, when he suspended the Constitution over the Covid outbreak and violated all Americans’ inalienable God-given rights and individual liberty.
Many Americans expected to see mass deportations right from the start upon Trump’s reentry to the Oval Office, but far from such, the number of deportations amount to barely a trickle when set alongside the 40 million illegal aliens who flooded across our Southern border during the four years of the Biden regime – DAMN! If ever a self-made red, radical rat bastard deserved to be executed in the harshest of manner, it’s Traitor Joe and every last one of his minions and acolytes, those anti-American nihilists and communists who are still to this day working overtime at all levels of government and in private occupations to bring about America’s destruction. 
Never has it been more apparent to me that our people and their product, capital and wealth are seen as nothing more than a means to an end by those who preside over Congress, as they continuously grasp for more, more and more – never satisfied and always demanding that we, the American people, make the sacrifices they themselves fear to make, or simply refuse to make from their own positions of greed and lust for power, fame [or infamy in most cases] and whatever glory they can manufacture in front of the mainstream media cameras. Always at the expense of the American working man and woman, and ultimately at the expense of America on the whole.
This is just the latest adventures with President Trump who seems to just spew new things off the top of his head, for reasons that are beyond me, unless he somehow is truly worried for the midterm elections and his legacy. He and quite a few other Republicans in both the House and the Senate don’t really mind moving left of center and doing things that stand in contravention of sound economic policies and the traditional conservative philosophy.
