This is a small exercise in ethics and the massive expansion of criminal activity we now find in America, largely due to this corrupt, immoral and far too permissive society we’ve allowed to manifest itself in our midst, giving way to the worst aspects of human nature and leaving destruction and shattered lives in its wake.
Most people are sure to disagree with me, but it’s been a decades long journey for me to arrive at this point. I full well believe that under certain extreme situations, the law is inadequate, ineffectual and totally useless; and, in order to shame the powers-that-be for so gross an inadequacy, it is necessary to act outside of the normal parameters of the law to pursue natural justice – vengeance if you must name it.

Everything is happening so rapidly these days, that most folks are completely missing the historic significance of events, as they whizz on past us all. Trump just recently publicly suggested that maybe the U.S. should simply walk away from the Straits of Hormuz, since we don’t really use it that much – that we should let America and Asia fend for themselves for a change. And when one reporter questioned Trump on his rethinking of NATO, Trump quickly responded: “I don’t need Congress for that decision.”
From the dawn of human civilization, the soul of man has been locked in a timeless duel – not merely against the elements or the beasts of the wild, but against his fellow man, who seeks to chain him, and against the darker recesses of his own spirit, which whisper doubts and despair. This profound struggle, etched into the annals of history, finds a haunting echo in the life of Theodore John Kaczynski, a man whose rebellion against the leviathan of modern government and its technological appendages resonates with the conservative heart’s unyielding cry for true freedom.
It’s hard as hell to reconcile the fact that the FISA Reauthorization Act that was changed in 2017 to allow the NSA to spy on all Americans was signed by President Trump in 2018, even after it had become fairly common knowledge that it had been used against him by Obama, during his campaign for president in 2016. And then, after Trump signed the bill, it was soon discovered that Obama had still been spying on him after he was elected president right up to the January 20th hand over of the reins of power and “control” over the White House.
This old world didn’t send out invitations, for you young men and women — no fancy cards with gilt edges, no polite “RSVP” for the grand show of existence. Most of us tumbled into this big, roaring, wonderful room we call the earth by pure mischance, like a prospector stumbling on a claim he never filed. We didn’t ask for the ticket, nor the rough ride that brought us here. For me, it was a near thing from the start – kicking and screaming down the birth canal, fighting the dark tunnel like a wild mustang bucking a blizzard, half sure I’d never see the light of day. The doctor later said it was touch and go, but touch I did, and go I didn’t. I came bawling into a world brimming with hope and promise, only to find shadows waiting, the old evil that prowls every path, sniffing at every soul like a wolf at a campfire.
We are entering a new period where we will find ourselves facing an incredibly dangerous asymmetrical warfare mission conducted by Islamic terrorists of all stripes, aligned with homegrown domestic terrorists, and our response must be a hard, determined resolve to stop it dead in its tracks before it takes off and takes more innocent American lives. The law enforcement agents cannot be everywhere at once and often are not present in the first moments of a terrorist attack, and so, that leaves it to the good, decent, solid, and courageous Americans to fill the void by way of their own armed interventions in order to thwart evil wherever it rears its ugly head.
The more I see the more I remain convinced this nation is on an accelerated path to another civil war. The events that one might say started in 1833 to set the stage for civil war in 1860, steadily intensified and increased in number over that 27 year span over the issue of slavery.
In the dim glow of my easy chair, beneath the spell of classic rock anthems, jazz riffs, and soulful blues, my mind drifts through the labyrinth of a life forged in fire. Sixty-nine years on this spinning rock, and a profound sorrow grips me – not for myself, but for America, for humanity’s squandered promise. We enter this world as innocents, brimming with potential, yet too often we descend into baseness, immorality, and outright evil. What does it mean to be human in a world where the Golden Rule is trampled underfoot, where man’s eternal battle against his fellow man and the merciless forces of nature reveals our deepest flaws and rarest triumphs?
I’m an old man now, by some folks’ reckoning, and I don’t scare easy.
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.
