Don’t Feel Neglected – What’s New

Bluntly put it’s hard to believe my last post was on Independence Day. Time flies. What have I been doing? Ask the NSA, they know. Kidding… kinda.

I suppose I should start back to when SCOTUS handed down a couple of rulings, including one that rippled through those keeping an eye on our J6 Political Prisoners. This prompted my July 2 post. That pretty much explains what I’ve been up to. I am continuing to work on one or more events to help these J6ers and their families.

Since then I’ve been in contact with a few individuals on the front lines of this scandalous outrage, including one J6 defendant in particular – Jalise Middleton. If ever someone touched my soul, it is Jalise. Her and her husband Mark are currently remanded to house arrest. They are allowed to go to church and shop for groceries. That is about it. I have no idea how they pay for those groceries.

They also founded and are involved in American Patriot Relief

While this is a non-profit organization founded to help J6 Political Prisoners, Mark and Jalise do not accept any monies from there own organization themselves. This fact alone stuns me.

More than this, my wife and I only spoke to Jalise on the phone for a few minutes when her godly heart floored me. It wasn’t “one thing” it was everything. She’s been put through the ringer, along with her husband. (I’ve never had the privilege to talk to him.) She’s taken everything thrown at her in stride and continues to be meek and thankful. All this while facing up to forty years in prison. Forty years?! What for?

Here are the charges straight from the latest DOJ press release:

A federal jury convicted Mark Middleton, 55, and Jalise Middleton, 54, both of Forestburg, Texas, of two counts of assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers, civil disorder, and obstruction of an official proceeding. All of these are felony offenses.

In addition to the felonies, the Middletons were convicted of misdemeanor offenses of entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds,disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds,engaging in physical violence in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly conduct in the Capitol grounds or building, and act of physical violence in the Capitol grounds or building.

My, it sure sounds like they’re mastermind criminals, now doesn’t it? WTF happened? Here is a 2 minute timeline provided by Jalise.

That’s it. What happened there is the crux of the government’s case against the Middleton’s. They are now felons and as such their rights to vote, keep and bear arms, among others are forfeit. As of today, they await sentencing. According to this press release it was set for June 12,2024. It was since changed to July 15th and now moved to August 9th.

Above all this Jalise remains steadfast and hopeful. She seems far more concerned about other J6 Political Prisoners. In fact, she demonstrates far more angst when the topic turns to two such Political Prisoners who have recently been released, who were handed a ticket to take them into DC and told they had to stay in the area until their probation ended. I believe this probation period to be one year but this has not been confirmed.

Thus they have no access to family, no friends, no job, no place to live. Oh, and they are expected to give them an address where they are living within a specified period of time. Is this how all convicts are treated? If it is not then once again, said treatment is unconstitutional.

More is coming concerning the plights of these defendants and others. This is not over – not by a long shot.

Virginia’s Primary 2024 – The Stink of Corruption

Per my last post on this topic, I’d written off this primary, saying the outcome doesn’t matter, or rather what is really important is to hold whoever sits in the 5th Congressional Seat of Virginia accountable, as all citizens should endeavor for all representatives. Now this primary result DOES matter. What changed?

Allegations of Impropriety, i.e. the stink of corruption. THIS cannot stand.

It’s no secret I voted for Bob Good, I posted here the reasons why I intended to do so despite certain reservations. Today’s post should not be considered any sort of “sour grapes” on my part. I’d accepted the situation and moved on. The news of shenanigan both surprised and shocked me. I just happened upon them doing other things and there it was.

Here is the story as released to the press by Peter Alexander

I don’t know who Peter Alexander or Chris Faraldi are. A quick search suggests both are politician types. both republicans. Alexander seems to be more conservative. The early into in the above letter suggests he and Faraldi do not see eye to eye on many issues. In fact, Alexander has little good to say about Faraldi.

Alexander is calling for a recount. I will go further than this. There needs to be a full investigation into these allegations with full intent to prosecute any alleged illegal actions. Simply saying “oops, my bad” and sliding past a potentially devious attempt to cheat cannot be tolerated.

As an election official I took an oath as did every other citizen participating as such. I swore to “support the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia and support the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia“.

What good is an affirmation if there is no consequence for ignoring it?

Today, Monday, June 24, 2024 I’ll be hosing an X space event on this at 9AM. All are invited. You may speak if a slot becomes available.

Revisiting Virginia’s 2A Sanctuary Movement

In 2019, just before Covid hit the Commonwealth of Virginia experienced a remarkable phenomena – 91 out of 95 counties became Second Amendment Sanctuaries.

This movement was a direct result of democrats taking control of both legislative houses in Virginia with Ralph Northam, also a democrat residing as governor. Finally, the liberal left had the power to smack down the right of citizens to arm and defend themselves. It is only by a small miracle our rights were not even further infringed.

What Happened Then?

The democrats pounced on an opportunity, passing a smorgasbord of gun control laws – enough to send many of them into orgasmic eustasy. Shocked by their audacity, citizens in the commonwealth fought back as best we could. We descended on our county legislatures and demanded second amendment sanctuary resolutions be passed. All but a handful did just that. Some boards later tried to rescind the resolutions, openly admitting the fear they felt had they voted against the measure with the room packed with supporters.

Such is the power of the people when unleashed. It is awe inspiring.

The Aftermath

By December of 2019 the wave had crested. Nearly every local legislature passed a second amendment sanctuary resolution. Then Covid came and the ensuing pandemic more or less stopped the momentum cold. Citizens could no longer mingle, much less gather to voice our support for our rights. It added a wet blanket to the 2020 election. Then the presidency was stolen, to say the least. Nobody can say for sure what effect all this had on the balance of power in Virginia but to date, the democrats continue to enjoy a slim majority in both houses. Meanwhile they are free to mock citizens rights, including our right to defend ourselves with the weapons of our choosing – in spite of the constitution guaranteeing our right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

So Much for Awe Inspiring Power, Huh?

This is not the end of the discussion. The liberal left – the globalists, if you will, want us to think they have the last word. They do not. WE the People still hold all the cards. This is OUR nation. WE are the government. And you jerks have NOT heard the last from us.

Let’s take stock though, shall we?

In the past, right here in Virginia, elections have been called minutes after the polls closed. To me, this suggests not political savvy but shenanigans. It says “the fix is in, sucker”. Granted, the democrats have iron strongholds in Virginia’s population centers giving them a hard edge in statewide elections and a strong advantage in other races. Even so there are more eligible citizens in Virginia who did not vote than cast votes for either party. Put another way, if every citizen who did not vote in the 2020 election voted for, say, a third candidate, that third candidate would have one hands down!

My point here is not that we citizens should rally around a “none of the above” candidate but rather there are enough untapped voters to sway the entire state to the cause of liberty. And quite bluntly, I say given a choice between liberty and tyranny – liberty wins out every time – no matter what party you claim.

This is What Take America Back! is All About

It’s not enough to protest. If you ask me, protesting should be beneath us – WE are the authority in this nation. It’s not enough to vote. I’ve voted in nearly every election and definitely every major election since I was of age to do so. My vote is usually lost in a sea of others, but this is the way things are supposed to work! It’s not my vote or your vote that matters as much as OUR VOTES. Beyond that is accountability, but we cannot effectively hold our representatives accountable if we refuse to hold the “scepter” of power – our vote – and wield it when necessary.

Furthermore, even representatives already in office will bend to the will of the people when they come face to face with us en masse. Sure, those citizens who showed up to support the second amendment sanctuary resolutions were just a tiny fraction of the voting citizen body but those office holder knew deep down what most of us never consider: that tiny fraction taking action is usually just the tip of a very large iceburg. In other words, for every citizen who takes the time to show up, there are many more who simply didn’t make the trek.

The globalist’s have taken advantage of this for decades. They rally rather small numbers to protest or support one cause or another while counting on on having little or no opposition. Thus they’ve been able to sway many a vote in their favor by simply showing up! No more.

We need to outnumber them at every turn. We need to strip the layers of talking points off the issues to get to the core of the each question. Often we can do this by asking simply – do you want liberty or tyranny? Most issues boil down to those two options. Try it and see for yourself.

It’s NOT Enough!

As the Virginia legislature has proven, it is not enough to just vote. It is not even enough to show up to voice our wishes on this issue or that. What we need is control and for this we need enough citizens opting for liberty to vote for candidates who support liberty.

Intimidation By the Numbers

It sounds scary and it needs to scare the bejeebers out of those who want to represent us. Our “threat” is not harmful to anything other than a representative’s privilege to serve, but that threat needs to be real. Each representative needs to be put on notice to support liberty or find another job. Coming from me or any one of you, such talk can, and often is, laughed off – as it should be.

When we can agree on certain principles and act in concert, our power is limited only by the law of the land, our constitution, and even that is subject to modification if we can garner enough support.

Moving Forward

If we want, really want, to take back our nation. If we want liberty instead of tyranny then our path is clear – we need to vote and bring as many voters with us as we can. We need to amass enough citizens, not only to win but to claim a devastating, decisive victory. We must hand our representatives a clear mandate. We want liberty.

What about you? Do YOU choose liberty? Or are you willing to kneel down to serve tyrants? The choice is yours but you need to choose now. Make no mistake: to abstain is to opt for tyranny because you are allowing the tyrants to choose for you.

Take action. Choose your weapon.

A Holy Roller, a Kickboxer, and a Musican Walk into a Bar…

Well, not quite but… Lance Wallnau played a clip from Joe Rogan’s show with Coleman Hughes. Lance was talking about, well in my own words, speaking the truth as Christians. His base scripture was:

1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

He related this verse to what is called “Apologetics” – a term used in Christianity I’ve always disliked. Apparently, the term comes from Greek word apologian (to “make defense” or as used above “give an answer”). Why don’t I like it? Because it evokes an image of someone “apologizing” for God’s Word and I’m not about to do that. Ever. I’ll readily apologize should someone point out any error I’ve made in expressing my understanding of scripture but never for the Word of God itself.

So… back to Lance, he was basically saying we Christians would be well-advised to be soft-spoken rather than “in your face”. I get that. I agree with this. He then used part of the Rogan-Hughes exchange to make his point. Interestingly enough, it is well-known Joe Rogan is not considered “conservative” at all. I am reasonably certain he is not a Christian – a quick check says he is an “agnostic” so I dunno. On the other hand, Hughes says he does not believe in God.

So Joe Rogan and Coleman Hughes says he voted for Biden in 2020 and Clinton before that. He also says he does not believe in God. That said, watching these two men converse, I felt a good deal of affinity towards each. Both are intelligent, well-spoken, and articulate. Coleman Hughes is especially soft-spoken. I listened to the entire three-hour podcast and enjoyed most of it.

While Lance pointed out Hughes’ thoughts in Israel – thoughts that were well-considered and well said, what prompts me to post today is when their conversation turned to AI. I was fascinated.

Both men agreed AI is very scary and I agree with them but not for the same reasons. I did find it rather amusing how Joe Rogan, in particular, extrapolated the future of AI. He projected how AI could soon overtake human’s as far as comprehending the mysteries of the Universe. He speculated on how AI could “evolve” (my words not his) into our “god”, possibly understanding or even become the force that started it all with the “Big Bang”. Oi.

Is any of that even possible? Meh – according to some theories, maybe. Some who understand quantum mechanics might be able to make a case for time travel. So what Joe, who believes there is a god (or gods? I don’t know agnosticism can take so many forms.) is saying is we humans are in the process of creating “god” (or gods) and this creation of ours could be responsible for creating humans. Right.

Coleman Hughes more or less went along with the idea or so it seems. Of course once he has time to think this through then I’m sure he would either have to reject it or admit that god must either exist already or is certain to exist in the future.

How does this fit with what I’ve been saying all along? Sorry. Not at all. I’m standing pat. My contention is no AI program will ever be sentient or capable of original, individual thought. Software is a collection of instructions that turn series of switches on or off. That’s it. Neither the switches nor the instructions are capable of autonomy – individually or together – nor would they be if they were installed in some sort of organic or positronic “brain”. It. Is. Not. Going. To. Happen. God (and I mean the One True God) help us if I am wrong. This doesn’t mean the whole AI phenomena isn’t scary as hell. Here’s why.

First let me offer an example. I was using ChatGPT the other day. I asked it to list all the states with online voting. It provided information from 2022. I know this because it told me so. I told it is was wrong and it revised the list to one that was almost correct. How did this software manage to correct itself? I don’t know, but it did. This indicates this software might be capable of self-learning. And this is what I find alarming.

I’ll say this first, AI software can and should, by definition, be self learning. I expect this. What scares me is the realization of what this means and what the true push for “AI” really means and that is massive information gathering.

There is a race going on right now to develop AI. We are being led to believe this race is to develop machines that can “think”. The real race is to develop machines capable of collecting, assimilating organizing, manipulating, and dispensing knowledge. Think about that for a moment. Now consider two words – “deep fake”.

Worse yet, because no AI will ever be sentient, no AI is capable of morality. AI has neither consciousness or conscience. It can and only do what it is told – or programmed to do.

What’s worse is as fast as all this AI is being developed, it may well be too late before the world understands what is really happening to be able to put a stop to it.

The bottom line is AI is dangerous as hell but not for the reasons we are expected but because this technology is sure to end up in the hands of evil actors with evil intent where their hearts should be.

God help us all.

Vote Like A Boss – The Ground Floor of a November Groundswell

As you might have gathered I’m deeply interested in making an effort to get out the vote. I am not alone in thinking this November is crucial to our nation – even to our very existence and sovereignty.

My focus is not so much in a local effort. I’m more interested in making an impact state and nationwide.

To that end, I’ve developed the concept – “Vote Like a Boss”, inspired in part by a lady who has a podcast “Stacey on the Right“.

The concept itself is simple: offer wearable and portable products embedded with QR codes anyone can purchase and take anywhere. Each QR code links to the online voter registration page for the owner’s particular state. The graphic is designed to attract attention and urge immediate action – scan the code, visit the page, register to vote.

The true beauty of this is there is nothing to join, no commitment required. Anyone who decides just do a little bit – like buy a sticker or a coffee mug, doesn’t have to do another damn thing. Go another step and someone might just take up the challenge and register and (hopefully) vote.

Then again if every one who takes the plunge encourages another citizen to vote – we could be looking at a groundswell of new, bona-fide voters come November.

My first effort was a line of T-shirts then Mugs (white and black background), Stickers – various sizes, notebook, Sports bottle, a tote and posters of various sizes. The poster shown is with a white background but I also have one with black as it makes the colors really pop.

Most everything at this moment is focused in Virginia with a few from New York where I grew up and still have people. Leave a comment or end me an email if you want your state moved to the front of the line.

Vote Like a Boss Virginia T-shirt and tote. Note the T-shirt now offered features a QR code on the sleeve as well. Both QR codes link to that state’s online voter registration page.

I’m preparing to sell on Shopify and Etsy as well but I need to add products for each state that offers online voter registration. T-shirts first, then the other sundries.

I’m looking to promote this any way I can. I started by posting a bit on FB and X but those efforts are minimal at this point. I need to finish building out the product lines for the other states before I roll out any major promotional efforts.

My hope of hopes is this will all go viral. It could just as easily crash and burn. Either way, I cannot NOT give this a shot.

Stacey on the Right and The Western Journal’s Floyd Brown

Yesterday I caught Lance Wallnau on his Real America’s Voice program Firewall. This program mirrored last weeks in he featured speakers from his “Courage Tour“.

This week, a couple of speakers hit home. One was a lady named Stacy Washington who has a radio show – Stacy on the Right. I’m liking directly to her page because of the impact she had on me, though in my case, she was certainly preaching to the choir. You can sample what I mean from the segment broadcast on Firewall.

Stacy states it a bit differently than I do but her message echoes my own in ways. What I loved is when she urged us to rethink our relationship with our elected officials – they are our employees. You get the idea. Forget about me, give her a listen.

Second up was Floyd Brown, CEO of The Western Journal, his segment was also enlightening but what I found most valuable was when he related his experience during the Reagan Administration. It’s not what you would expect – at all. He has to be about my age or maybe a bit younger so he was very young when he landed the job – early to mid-twenties, I think. In any case what stuck out was when he relates on how the CIA told him he had to promote Socialism. That’s right. No, this wasn’t from The Gipper himself. It was the CIA.

It didn’t surprise me, it just confirmed two things. One the Deep State has a very, VERY long history and two, they are absolutely evil and working diligently to destroy our nation.

We must be vigilant. We need to take back our nation or lose it. While we’re at it, we need to make a concerted effort to throw the Deep State Bums out.

Gun Control – It Is Time To End It ALL.

If you don’t know by now, I’ll say plain: ALL gun control violates the Second Amendment of our Constitution. Every. Single. Law. I’ve said this from the start and I stand by it now.

The wording of the Second Amendment is clear: it says our right to keep and bear arms “cannot be infringed”. Forget the nonsensical straw-man arguments about “militias”. Forget the idiots spouting about “sporting” or “hunting” purposes. In fact, forget about any purpose at all.

Our founding fathers used guns to free our emerging not-quite a nation from the oppressive rule of the British. Compared to what we citizens endure today under our “free” nation, King George was a pussycat. And yet they fought – and died – and eventually emerged victorious. Then came the actual founding, the documentation – our Constitution for the United States of America and those pesky amendments.

They knew the score. Our founding fathers themselves were intended victims of gun control. Instead of bending their knees, literally, to the King, they took up forbidden arms. No doubt the horrors of the battles they fought, the abuse they endured under their British rulers, was forefront in their minds. Never again. No matter what. Many of them, our first president George Washington included, openly stated a distrust for any, and I do mean ANY, government body exercising too much power. With all this in mind they made on thing clear – our right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed!

Some may call this a moment of weakness, others a moment of strength. I say it was a moment of divine clarity. This document, this constitution, became the law of our land by the direct influence and gifting of God Almighty. It was not they who “granted” these rights to all citizens it was God Himself. Our founding fathers, the authors of the Constitution were more scribe than author. As they previously proved with the blood of their compatriots, these rights belonged to us all along.

Subsequent events weakened us. In the aftermath of the “Civil War” or the “War of Northern Aggression”, call it what you will, laws were passed against gun ownership in several states. Most of these were to prevent blacks from arming themselves. Surely there were others passed for other reasons. This is not a history lesson, merely an opinion on personal observations and understanding. As our nation grew, many events led to the eventual passing of the National Firearms Act of 1934 – the landmark legislation that opened the floodgates for nationwide gun legislation.

Even then, the lawmakers knew they could not get away with infringing upon our God-given Second Amendment rights with any direct infringement. So what did they do? They acted like any spineless, slimy politician – they gaslighted the American public by calling it a “tax law”. Elbow, elbow, wink, wink and all that rot. This final piece of putrid deception was built upon fear. Fears of wild gangsters spewing lead in the streets – raining devastation upon innocent citizens. Of course they failed to mention these gangsters derived most of their power and wealth from trading in alcohol. It was the politicians’ own Prohibition act that fomented this black market. So, ironically, the class of criminals this legislation was aimed at was the one group who could well afford a $200 tax on a submachine gun.

From the first Supreme Court challenge to the present day, all branches of our government have ducked and weaved around the basic issue – they have no authority at all to restrict the rights of us law-abiding citizens from owning, carrying, and/or using arms – firearms, and yes, even “military grade” firearms. Zero. Zip. I have yet to see a single paragraph of legislation on any level that passes the “shall not be infringed” litmus test when applied to any honest, law-abiding citizen. And yet, here we are, wading through a myriad of legal mines, as our nation has become exactly that: a minefield. It needs to end.

Another irony – while so much of the angst of today’s gun control freaks is focused on scary black rifles, or any firearm capable of accepting “large capacity” magazines – often called “assault weapons” or “weapons of war” in an effort to compare them to military-grade firearms – they turn a blind eye to the original, and still often held dictum that suitability for military use is one of the standards deemed critical to our Second Amendment right. Even more strange is this very fact should be grounds to automatically reject the National Firearms Act of 1934 as inherently unconstitutional on this very basis.

Compounding this irony is a recent ruling by a Federal judge no less, that illegal aliens have the right to keep and bear arms under our Second Amendment. What?! While I do not necessarily disagree with the ruling, it comes with loads of baggage. First and foremost is depicted in the meme below.

It is madness. Nothing more, nothing less and it needs to stop. As citizens – honest, hard-working, law-abiding citizens, we need to put our foot down. We need to demand an end to the rabid, illegal, raping of our God-given rights under our Constitution. No more. If they don’t like it, well, too bad. As citizens, they have just as much right as anyone to propose our Constitution be amended. Unless and until that happens, our right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

NOT Forgotten! Two J6 Political Prisoners Highlighted

Today I found two separate and very different stories about two J6 political prisoners. While their experiences are different, what they have in common is they both have lost their liberty and their lives are forever changed.

Once again I will point out – my grievance is not about their guilt or innocence but about the total disregard for their rights as citizens under our Constitution.

Patrick Byrne Answers Trump’s Call To Support J6 Political Prisoner Ryan Samsel When All Organizations Refused

A Day in the Life

It matters not whether you agree with what they did or are accused of doing.

It matters not whether they broke the law or not.

No one deserves this treatment. As Americans we have protested and marched against the inhumane treatment hapless souls in other countries. We have railed against poor treatment of animals. And yet we look away, or worse, cheer, how these J6 political prisoners are being treated day in, day out for years now. For what? For some misguided “sense” of patriotism? Since when do we suspend proper treatment of the accused? For SHAME!

This shame is doubled for those of you schooled in law and DOUBLE THAT SHAME for any politician schooled in law. And for you in our judiciary? If all you can do is look the other way or worse, throw up your hands declaring, you cannot do anything – you should resign immediately. You are a disgrace to our justice system.

The Death of Our Constitution – NOT!

In my previous post I took great exception Mark Levin’s declaration that our nation is “post constitutional” and law of the land is no more. While I absolutely believe Lance Wallnau’s unintended rebuttal was absolutely brilliant, as well as far better than I can do, I still have an itch to scratch.

For anyone who accepts the truth of God’s sovereignty, Lance’s position is easy to see. But what about everyone else? As I stated before, even my own wife, whom I know is a godly woman, is not clearly seeing this. She is being blinded by circumstance.

To this end, I’ll offer a more secular argument.

Suppose a man committed a murder. There were witnesses. There was a smoking gun. It was, unequivocally, unarguably, and unquestionably murder. However the police declined to arrest or charge him.

The people cried out. They insisted the district attorney investigate. The DA also declined to prosecute.

Again an uproar ensued. One brave soul presented the case to a Grand Jury. The Grand Jury declined to indict.

Finally, the people appealed directly to the courts. Surely a court of law would review the start evidence and insist on justice! But, no, the court tossed the case out.

Ignore the details and the reasons for this case. They are not relevant. Instead focus on the facts as presented. All of our systems for justice in this case failed, despite everyone outside the systems agreeing to the guilt of the murderer. Let me ask you…

Does the fact that all these systems failed mean that murder is now legal? Are the laws against murder now null and void? Then how can anyone say the same about our constitution?

This the reality. It is said “ignorance of the law is no excuse”. That axiom certainly applies here. Nor does ignoring the law – in particular the law of our land, our constitution – an excuse to disregard it.

Our constitution stands strong. The real question is – will YOU stand up for our constitution?

Two Conservatives – One Jew – One Christian – Two Opposing Views

Yesterday (Sunday) was a watershed. Actually I could count 2 Christians and 2 Jews if I wanted to complicate things but let’s do keep them simple.

In one corner, we have Mark Levin. In the other corner – Lance Wallnau. It would be hard to imagine two more diametrically opposed viewpoints. I’ll begin with Levin, whom I saw last and work up to Wallnau.

While I’m guessing you can find a replay on Levin’s broadcast on Fox – or one of the products, I’ve nothing to link to.

Levin was joined Lawyer David Schoen. Together they declared and bemoaned the End of Our Constitutional Republic. I was shocked. Then I was livid. Mark, how DARE you! Your pronouncement makes me wonder just how deeply the claws of the statists are embedded in your soul. Have you been turned? Are you a schill for the globalists?

Many times I have said, our republic is not over until someone stands up and announces the end of our republic. I did not expect it to come from “our” side. Surely many have worried that bone, mostly from the conservative end but hearing it from someone hailed to be a stalwart of right thinking – it’s disgusting.

Worse, my wife agreed with him. Earlier this week her co-worker said as much. The general consensus, the hopeless defeatism is what I’ve been battling for far too long. The not-so-subtle shrug of the shoulders, the raising of the hands, and the words passing the lips – “what can we do?”. I disagree. Entirely.

Enter Lance Wallnau. His last show on RAV was a video of an appearance in a Minneapolis church. He was on fire. Even better he was inspiring. For some reason Real America’s Voice breaks up the replay into four segments. All four are below – about an hour total. I doubt if you can watch just one.

Lance began by retelling the story of former Georgia Senator Mike Crotts being raised from the dead because his assignment on this earth was not finished. Indeed, at the time it had literally just started! It was prophesied that Crotts was to leave his business career and go into politics and he was campaigning for his first office when he dropped dead – for 29 minutes no less – of a heart attack. He was literally raised from the dead and promptly lost his first election. Eventually, he did become a State Senator but the message he received was his “assignment was not finished”.

In hindsight, I now see Lance Wallnau’s program as a further prophetic message for our nation. In short, the United States of America is not dead yet! We have an assignment and it is not finished. Wallnau clearly stated this during his message but I “just happened” to see it before watching Mark Levin declare the death of our nation. Wow. Take a look. I’ll be back.

THE LANCE WALLNAU SHOW MARCH 24TH, 2024 Part 3

THE LANCE WALLNAU SHOW MARCH 24TH, 2024 Part 4

What is the difference between these two perspectives? One, Mark Levin, is looking at the human side – the secular, while Lance Wallnau is looking to God Almighty. What a difference!

Reaching back to my wife and others (her co-worker is not the only culprit here) they, too, are looking at our circumstances. All they can see is how powerful the opposition has grown and how they seem to have everything under control. What they fail to see is God. Nothing is happening today that God does not allow. Nothing. Just as David refused to allow himself to be intimidated by Goliath who dared to defy Almighty God, we Christians, we, the very children of the One True God, need to turn to our Heavenly Father and place our trust, our very lives, in His hands. But that’s not all…

As Lance pointed out – as long as we have breath on this earth, we are here for a reason also. We all have assignments. For myself, I can tell you outright, sometimes posting to this blog seems entirely inadequate. I cannot help feeling I am to do more but I do not know what. What is your assignment? I cannot tell you as I do not know. All I can do is urge you to seek out God for yourself and ask Him to reveal what He has in store for you.

While I may not always be confident I am doing God’s Will to the best of my ability, what I AM confident in is God Himself. I am only human. I am entirely capable of screwing up a one-car funeral but God is, well GOD, and HE does not, can not screw up. My trust is in Him.

If you haven’t already, watch the videos above. Seek out God’s Will for you. We are not finished yet!

Oddly Enough – I Saw This First on MSN News

Seriously, my wife upgraded all her computers to Win11 (YUCK!) for her biz. As I help out during her busy season I find myself starting at the screen of one from time to time. Win11 has a “feature” that pops out a bunch of crap I don’t wanna see, including MSN headlines. (No, I haven’t taken the time to put a stop to that. Call me lazy.) Anyway, yesterday I saw this headline:

Republican’s Constitutional Amendment Would Change How Americans Eat

from a story in Newsweek. This headline could be taken in several ways but I clicked to see how Rep Thomas Massie, one of the more outspoken conservative voices in the House introduced this legislation. I immediately figured it was a hit piece on Massey. Not so fast.

This morning I was reminded of this story in a meme from 90 Miles From Tyranny:

Okay. Fine. I get the gist but I gotta ask WHY? Why is a constitutional amendment necessary? The way I see things, what the Feds are doing are already unconstitutional. They are already limited to goods that cross state lines. Granted this limitation is ignored as is nearly every other limit in our founding document. The problem is not a failure of our Constitution but our failure to properly enforce it.

Besides this, the chances of such an amendment surviving the grueling process of ratification are slim to none. Nice try Thomas but your effort will only land you another 15 minutes in the spotlight.

Why not introduce some legislation to scale back those laws that are currently raping our liberties. Do you need a list?

Contrarians and Joining the Republican Party

Wouldn’t ya know it? Last night I was supposed to attend the monthly local republican meeting where they were going to vote on my membership application. I begged off. While the reason I gave is accurate – f’n DST has screwed up everything. My wife wouldn’t be home in time to take care of the critters and the meet landed smack dab where it would cause a problem. You see, we lock the chickens up at night for safety. They don’t like to go in too much before dark. These days that means 7PM. The meet was set to begin at 6:30. Yeah. But there was yet more to the story. My angst.

Almost from the moment I handed my application in, I felt that twinge. You know the one – where you can’t help feeling you are making a big mistake. For the past couple of days, I’ve wrestled with the question:

Do I really want to join the party? Why?

Then this morning, I came across this article from Ammoland:

Firearms Training – Learn to Embrace the Contrarian Mindset

It helped. It really did because at heart I am also a contrarian. I must say this Keith Hanson explains it very well. The bottom line is I’ve never, ever, been willing to accept “conventional wisdom” at face value. As such I tend to piss everybody off.

If you’ve read much here, you know I despise party politics and I foresee forever advocating the total dismantling of our vaunted “two-party system” as well as political parties entirely.

Let’s start with just some of the “Republican Party’s” own rhetoric. The Virginia Republican Party states they support freedom and a limited government. Great. So do I. What I’d like to know is what, exactly has the Republican Party actually done to promote freedom and limit government. I’ll wait. Actually, no, I won’t. It’s obvious, but I’ll state it plainly so even an avowed party person can understand (maybe).

ALL POLITICAL PARTIES MUST WORK TO GROW GOVERNMENT IN ORDER TO GROW THEIR OWN POWER BASE

Sorry for shouting but too often this principle falls on deaf ears.

To this end any political party serves this common goal above and beyond serving party members and thus, every political party does not, CAN not serve those who make up the party. So why join?

This is what I’ve been asking myself. In part, my reasoning is those who are part of the party at the very least have taken an active interest in forwarding similar ideals. I’ve no doubt the rank and file believe deeply in the principles stated by the official party propaganda. However they, all of us really, have been blinded to the facts:

They ain’t working for us, they never have.

Sad but true. So, in part, I want to be a part of this group because we share common interests and I’d like to forward some of my contrarian views. (Thanks Keith!) Who else am I going to reach? I don’t know what it will take for anyone else to take action so I’ll try work according to Newton’s law first of motion:

1. 1. An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

My point? Active party members are, well, active. That sets them apart from those dedicated to pissing and moaning. Those bodies are already in motion and already heading in the same general direction.

So that’s the latest there. I have about three weeks to reconsider, however Keith’s contrarian article hit the nail on the head for me as it both provided an answer as to why I’m struggling with this as well as reframing my perspective so I can move forward without feeling hypocritical.

Powerful

What does this mean to you?

What if you suddenly saw this power in a new light?

Matthew 9:2-8 (KJV)

Matthew 9:2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.
4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?
6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
7 And he arose, and departed to his house.
8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.

Wait! What?! What does Jesus healing a man have to do with us today?

That word power is the Greek word exousia and is often translated as either “power” or “authority”. Consider the World English Bible (WEB) version:

Matthew 9:1 He entered into a boat, and crossed over, and came into his own city.
2 Behold, they brought to him a man who was paralyzed, lying on a bed. Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, “Son, cheer up! Your sins are forgiven you.”
3 Behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man blasphemes.”
4 Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?
5 For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven;’ or to say, ‘Get up, and walk?’
6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins…” (then he said to the paralytic), “Get up, and take up your mat, and go up to your house.”
7 He arose and departed to his house.
8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

In the next chapter, Matthew 10:1, Jesus gave the 12 apostles power or authority “over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness” (WEB)

How did they exercise this power, this authority? They used their voices! They spoke in Jesus’ name and demons were cast out, the sick were healed, and the dead were raised.

The word “authority” is far more accurate in these usages because while the spoken word indeed carries much weight – it is God Almighty who energizes those words. With this, let us return to the present day.

In case you are wondering, I absolutely believe those of us born again in God’s Spirit, who have confessed Jesus as Lord and believe God raised him from the dead, still have access to the same spiritual authority the first century church enjoyed. Obviously all but a few of us have lost our way but this does not negate the fact God will honor his promises.

That said, now I’m talking about a different set of promises – promises made to our forefathers that they set forth on our founding documents – in particular – the Constitution of the United States of America. This document enumerates our power, our authority, granted by God Almighty, to govern ourselves. This is what terrifies the statist usurpers. They are void of any authority at all and I do mean any authority.

How can I state this with such confidence? Can those who hold office say they were duly elected? That their authority was granted to them by their constituents? No. They cannot. While I’m sure someone better versed in legal aspects than I could find even more solid ground, I will draw upon the principles in simple, contract law – i.e. a contract based on fraud is void.

All (or nearly all) those who are now in office have been placed there via fraudulent means. Over the decades, and now centuries, the usurpers have built up a web of legalese designed to prevent anyone other than those approved by one of the two established parties to stand any chance at all of being placed into office. Many government positions are also illegal as they exist outside the principles of our intended limited government.

The short version of the above is our “elected” officials do not answer to those they ostensibly represent.

Instead they answer to the party bosses who, in turn, answer to their masters. Often those masters are groups or individuals who hold the purse strings. The really ironic part of all of this is those purses are chock full of OUR money – funds derived from programs funded by taxpayers, either directly or via preferable legislation favoring the “money men”.

All this points to fraud because “our” representatives are supposed to represent… us! Instead of this, they focus on new ways to expand the power – to usurp more authority – of government. Keep in mind, every new regulation is a new imposition on our liberty.

Doing nothing is no longer an option

Set it and forget it governing is no longer an option

If our nation is to be saved WE the People must reclaim our birthright to govern ourselves, to hold those chosen to represent us accountable and to insist on returning to a limited government.

Start here:

Mitch McConnell Stepping Down – WHO will China Choose to Replace Him?

While some might jump for joy at the news – me? Meh. Like the headline says – who will China replace him with.

BREAKING: MCCONNELL TO STEP DOWN AS REPUBLICAN SENATE LEADER

Let’s not forget his position as Minority Leader and Majority Leader before that is an elected one. ALL the “republican” Senators voted for him – or enough to put give him the nod. Shouldn’t that tell you something?

What?! Do you think all those Senators who voted for him were unaware of his ties to China? Were they clueless about his RINO record? Of course not. They knew. They voted him in anyway. Why? Money and power – that’s why.

Once again, I’ll remind you what the game is in Washington (not to mention nearly every elected office in this nation) – it’s stay in office or move to a better office. Like McCarthy in the House, McConnell held massive purse strings to “help” his comrades get elected again and again. Beyond this, I have no idea what other juice these guys carry in their squirt guns but it is enough to allow them to kneel to their masters – and WE the People ain’t them.

One thing I can guarANtee you – whoever takes McConnell’s place will be a died-in-the-wool statist – most likely someone who needs to constantly brush off the lint from China’s pocket.

Just one more reason why WE the People need to step up and throw these bastards out. It ain’t gonna happen overnight. Let’s start with November 2024 with some massive action to put “republicans” in all those offices up for bid. After that, we can roll up our sleeves and begin to let them know whose boss in this nation.
