I want you to use your critical thinking skills.  We have been told that Trump has called for the end of election rules and the Constitution so that he can overturn the 2020 Election and be put back into office.  That is not what he said.  Read Trump’s quote about the termination of the Constitution carefully.

Do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.

 

He did not say he wants the founding document terminated, he said that the election fraud, if it continues and if the past fraud is ignored and allowed to stand, will lead to the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution. The people heard what they wanted to hear, not what Donald J. Trump actually said. When you believe something so deeply it just hurts, even if it is not true, like those who hate Trump do, you find a way to twist it into reality.  Such are the practices of the woke crowd, conspiracy theorists, and Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers.  Remember when they began the “Trump is racist” campaign?  It began when Donald Trump said that among the illegal alien population are criminals and murderers.  I am figuring we all believe that murderers and criminals are no good for our country.  The never-Trump lefties and GOP lefties and “Never-Trumpers” screamed he claimed all Mexicans are murderers and criminals.  Trump never said such a thing, but people sometimes hear only what they want to hear.  If your twisted mind is convinced he’s racist, no matter what he says, racism will scream true for your ears to hear.  If you believe racism is everywhere, even if it’s not, you will see it everywhere. When Donald Trump first burst on the political scene, I had my reservations.  He’s been very successful, but stories were circulating that he was unhinged, unprincipled, and his business practices were less than honest.  Principles and integrity are a huge consideration when deciding if a particular candidate for office, any political office, measures up to what one wants.  So, I did some deep diving to make sure that Trump was, at the very least, better for the country than Hillary Clinton. The bar set by Clinton, to be honest, was pretty low.  If a candidate was breathing and not a raging communist they were better than she.  But, I still needed to know if Trump was the right choice after he clinched the Republican nomination.  

 
The media was full of hate for the guy, as were most other sources, so my searches could not be conventional.  Their hate for him because he was not a part of their little club, and he was willing to stick a stick in their spokes, had them seeing things the way they view the “termination of the Constitution” quote; twisted, and not quite with the truth in mind.  Fortunately, I am deep enough into the political world that I know people who know people.  I was able to talk to people who knew Trump personally, or knew someone who had worked for Trump.  What I discovered was that nearly all of the accusations being levied against Trump were false, misrepresented without context, or they were simply dishonest exaggerations of the truth.  So, I decided I would vote for Trump.  I wasn’t a full-fledged Trumper, yet, but I was willing to give him my vote. My support for Donald Trump increased once his presidency took off, and once I realized that anything being claimed about him by those who hated him were partially false, or straight out lies.  I was no longer influenced by their campaign of hate, and I began to analyze closely, and honestly, his decisions, his policies, and his way of going about combating the forces against him.  He impressed me.  I became convinced I had made the right choice, and that while we did not get the President I originally wanted, America got the President it needed for such times as these.   I was still not convinced he was a “conservative” when he was elected.  But, as I observed the game that was afoot, I realized that the attacks against him by the Democrats and Republican Establishment pushed him in a conservative direction.  In other words, while he wasn’t what one would call a conservative in the beginning, it seemed he was willing to learn, and he quickly learned that conservatives and constitutionalists were his allies and began to embrace conservative principles and ideas along the way.  His development ultimately made him the most pro-life President in history.  Some of the people he surrounded himself with advised him accurately most of the time regarding what is or is not constitutional, as well, but unfortunately, he was also surrounded by people who were the enemy, or were in cahoots with his political enemies.  Overall, however, aside from maybe the “warp speed” decision when it came to the scamdemic jab, for the four years of the Trump presidency he followed the Constitution better than any president since Calvin Coolidge. With that all said, Trump’s post-presidency life has continued to draw the ire of the left, and GOP establishment.  Most recently, he was said to have said something against the United States Constitution.  So, we must ask; did Donald J. Trump throw the Constitution under the bus in a Truth Social post? CNN, you know, that bastion of truth and honesty, proclaimed that Trump “called for the termination of the Constitution to overturn the 2020 Election and reinstate him to power.”  They call any questions about the 2020 Election “election denialism” and “fringe conspiracy theories” even though folks like Mike Lindell (with footage showing false ballots being added to the count, along with other dubious activities, at the vote-count centers), Dinesh D’Souza (used GPS tracking to show “mules” delivering false ballots at ballot boxes in States where “ballot harvesting is illegal”), and Dr. Douglas Frank (using mathematics to arrive at the conclusion there was fraud; and who is speaking to the Constitution Association on January 21 in Murrieta, California) have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that there was fraud in that election, and that the fraud changed the election from a Trump landslide to a Biden squeaker.
 
Politico also claims Trump called for the termination of the Constitution, claiming he is “denying” it “without deleting the incriminating post.” Now, influenced by Trump’s full belief that elections can’t be trusted when it comes to the elections, and fraud may be involved in many more elections than Americans are willing to admit at a level that is indeed changing elections away from candidates who support liberty, Donald Trump is now under attack due to a recent post on Truth Social that is being falsely reported that he called for the “termination” of the Constitution.  That’s a pretty serious accusation.  The problem is, that’s not what Trump said. Let’s revisit the beginning of this article in more stark detail, now. Trump wrote:

So with the revelation of MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION in working closely with Big Tech Companies, the DNC, & the Democrat Party, do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution. Our great “Founders” did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!

The American People have already been conditioned to believe such talk is “fringe conspiracy theory” language, and that Trump is some kind of monster so if he opens his mouth about something what he said is actually worse than what he said.

 
We’ve also been conditioned to believe that if a person says something and it can be dissected to mean something awful then that is how they intend to act and operate and that is what they meant to say (even if it’s not what they said) — unless, of course, they are a hard left Democrat and they really did say something stupid, then, they simply misspoke. In response to reactions that were launched that he called for a termination of the United States Constitution, Trump posted:

The Fake News is actually trying to convince the American people that I said I wanted to ‘terminate’ the Constitution. This is simply more DISINFORMATION & LIES, just like RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA, and all of their other HOAXES & SCAMS. What I said was that when there is “MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION,” as has been irrefutably proven in the 2020 Presidential Election, steps must be immediately taken to RIGHT THE WRONG. Only FOOLS would disagree with that and accept STOLEN ELECTIONS. MAGA!

Trump later added in a second post:

“SIMPLY PUT, IF AN ELECTION IS IRREFUTABLY FRAUDULENT, IT SHOULD GO TO THE RIGHTFUL WINNER OR, AT A MINIMUM, BE REDONE. WHERE OPEN AND BLATANT FRAUD IS INVOLVED, THERE SHOULD BE NO TIME LIMIT FOR CHANGE!”

His initial remarks were mischaracterized just like the “rapists and criminals” statement regarding illegal immigration was mischaracterized.  Context was set aside, and meanings were assumed through a foggy pair of political spectacles that only sees “Orange Man Bad”.

 
Trump’s words, to give a little context, were a response to the Twitter revelations regarding election inerference that have been popping up since Elon Musk became the new owner of Twitter, as well as information revealed that Twitter worked to suppress anything that they politically disagreed with, and that they did so in collusion with the Democratic National Committee and the FBI.  The collusion is across the board.  Nobody can be trusted.  The Democrats have been doing everything they can to influence elections, even through social media, suppressing anything that reflected poorly on Democrats generally, and then-candidate Joe Biden in particular, while pushing to the front of the line anything that worked against Trump, or the GOP.  In particular, Musk has revealed that Twitter’s leftists suppressed the [Hunter Biden] laptop story. Like the leftwing globalist communist Deep State, the global power-player consortium, and leftist mainstream media, they feared the Hunter laptop story would derail Biden’s campaign. Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has emerged verbalizing the truth, apologizing for suppressing the story.  Such stories were labeled as “disinformation” despite the fact that it was actually the truth. I can relate.  Facebook has continuously been shutting me down (and I have been shut out of my Constitution Study page on Facebook despite having at one time over 10,000 followers on that page), Google has played games with me (one of the instances I made a video about it showing the problem on the video for all to see), YouTube has shut down, so far, two of my videos (I also made a video about that), and my books are a target, one of which has a “disagreeable” less than favorable depiction of the homosexual militant political machine. Tucker Carlson has also finally reached the realization of the revelation, “We cannot trust the government with ANY stats or facts. They lie ALL the time now”, which includes collusion with big tech, and other big corporation interests and power-players (does Big Pharma suddenly come to mind?).
 

Fox News has reported that an FBI agent testified the FBI held weekly meetings with Big Tech companies in Silicon Valley ahead of the 2020 presidential election to discuss ‘disinformation’ on social media and how to censor information, and that Twitter had been tagging tweets as “disinformation” ahead of the 2020 Election. The news is flush with the evidence piling up regarding the 2020 Election, and Trump has been watching these reports showing “massive fraud”.  With that context in play he knows the system is screwed up.  He knows that what the judges are “interpreting to be constitutional” is out of whack.  So, with that in mind, he posted, “fraud [of] this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.” Read that carefully.  He wasn’t calling for the termination of the rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution, he was saying that the “massive fraud” perpetrated through the collusion of Big Tech, the media, the Democratic Party, and federal government intelligence agencies is leading to the “termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.” In other words, if we keep allowing this fraud it will terminate the Constitution.  He’s not calling for the Constitution’s termination, he’s saying the fraud is terminating the Constitution.

14th amendment section 3

By Douglas V. Gibbs

AuthorSpeakerInstructorRadio Host

The Democrats are desperate to keep Trump as far away from politics as possible.  His election in 2016 put a monkey wrench in their sixteen year plan to move America into a one-party system.  Trump’s policies ran opposite of their policies, and his administration threatened to reveal how evil their criminal political enterprise really is.  Their propaganda, their false Russia-Gate fabrication, their multiple impeachments, their multiple legal attacks and court cases, and their constant smear campaign has not yielded the results they have needed.  Donald J. Trump is as popular as ever, and may even be capable of exceeding their cheat in 2024.  They can’t take that chance, so they are desperate to do anything they can to keep Trump off of the ballot.

Among their latest schemes to stop the Trump Train from running them off of the political road has been the Fourteenth Amendment, Section Three.  The writers of the clause in the Fourteenth Amendment sought to punish anyone who supported the secession of the Confederate States prior to the War Between the States for their unconstitutional insurrection against the Union.  Never mind that secession was perfectly constitutional since the firmer union created by the Constitution remained a voluntary union, despite arguments to the contrary by Hamiltonian-minded historians and politicians.   The “Radical Republicans” of Congress at the time hated any supporter of secession with the same kind of vitriol we see today being pointed at Trump.  They were willing to do anything to force the Southern States into compliance.  The Union, after all, had already used military force and the destruction of war to beat The South into submission, so why would they worry about any repercussions for disallowing anyone who supported the “rebellion” to ever be able to hold political office again?  Nonetheless, the clause is in the Constitution.  The question is, does it apply to Donald J. Trump?

Typically, in the American Legal System, if you are going to be considered “guilty” of something, that guilt must be proven in the court of law.  In other words, mere accusations does not make something a conviction.  To be convicted of something and to reap the legal consequences that accompanies that conviction a person must be entitled to the full due process of law.  Even a burglar caught red-handed robbing a liquor store is not sentenced and thrown in jail without the benefit of a trial.  Natural Rights are a big deal when it comes to American Liberty, and no matter the situation, legally we are all supposed to be considered innocent until proven guilty, and may not suffer the consequences of the accusation unless a conviction is achieved.  

That said, our courts are definitely being used as a weapon.  Our patriots being accused of insurrection on January 6, 2021 are being convicted, even though the evidence does not support the accusations, and the juries have been fully convinced before they even took their seats in the jury box that anyone present at the Capitol who is a Trump Supporter is guilty of all charges despite, in many cases, the fact that the person in question never stepped onto the steps of the Capitol, and in the case of some friends of mine, arrived long after the “insurrection” had ended.

But, the enemies of the Constitution and Liberty, who now claim they love the Constitution when it comes to the clause in the Fourteenth Amendment that was designed to keep insurrectionists out of political office, are convinced that Trump incited insurrection, his supporters committed insurrection, and Trump doesn’t even need to be convicted of participating in insurrection to be considered guilty of insurrection, and therefore as per the Fourteenth Amendment Donald Trump is disqualified to run for office, including for the Presidency in 2024.

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said on CNN that former President Donald Trump does not need to be criminally convicted of insurrection to be disqualified to run for President as per the Fourteenth Amendment.  

Raskin said, “The authors of the 14th Amendment themselves dealt with that question. They felt that if someone sets themselves at war against the Constitution, and engages in the most profound anti-democratic act of trying to overthrow an election by installing themselves in office with an insurrection, then at that point, they are constitutionally barred. So, when people say, it is undemocratic what the voters decide, that’s like saying, let Vladimir Putin run for president, even though he’s not a U.S. citizen because it would be undemocratic to deny that choice to the voters. The Constitution has already made that judgment.”

He continued, “I think what we need is a judicial determination of whether or not an impeachment by the House, 57 to 43 vote in the Senate, enough to establish as a civil proposition that he’s engaged in insurrection or whether you need additional adjudicated fact finding by the court. But nowhere does it say that you need to have a criminal conviction in order to make section three of the 14th Amendment apply.”

 

Let’s break-down what Raskin said, shall we?

“If someone sets themselves at war against the Constitution” — The Democrats (and most Republicans, for that matter) have been operating against the Constitution through government for over two-hundred years.  A study a friend of mine and I conducted in 2007 found that 85% of federal spending is unconstitutional.  In addition to the unconstitutional operations of government’s politicians and bureaucrats, in 2020 they were so worried that Trump would continue his dismantling of their criminal schemes they rigged the election, and stole it from a man that actually won by a landslide.  And yet they say “he” is the one at war against the Constitution?

“most profound anti-democratic act of trying to overthrow an election by installing themselves in office with an insurrection” — Our country is not supposed to be a democracy, it is a republic.  For those of you who think the words are synonymous, please read my book, “Repeal Democracy,” inside which I explain the difference between the two very different governmental systems.  Also, the Electoral College, and even the perception regarding it (such as, Pence was not there to “certify” the election, but to count the electoral votes.  Certification, according to the Constitution, is achieved by the Electors), is completely unconstitutional in the first place.

Was January 6, 2021 an example of insurrection?

First, let’s go over the timeline on January 6, 2021, in Washington D.C.:

  1. 12:00 pm: Trump’s speech began.
  2. 1:00 pm: Outer barricades stormed by protesters.
  3. 1:10 pm: Trump’s speech ended according to Washington Post (which means no Trump supporters who were there to hear Trump’s speech were among the protesters who breached the outer barricades ten minutes earlier).
  4. 1:30 pm: Capitol Police overtaken at steps of Capitol (at this time no Trump Supporters who heard Trump speak had arrived at the Capitol, yet, which means none of them were among the protesters who stormed the Capitol Police on the steps of the Capitol, which means those who stormed the Capitol were people other than those who attended Trump’s speech).
  5. 1:41 pm: Likely arrival of first Trump speech attendees, which would be those who did not stop to use the restroom, grab a bite to eat, or go to their hotel first, but walked immediately to the Capitol at the pace suggested as the average time it takes according to Google Navigator.  Understand, it likely took longer since so many people clogged the streets.  This time is only provided due to what Google Navigator provided as the average time to walk, unencumbered, to the Capitol from where Trump spoke.
  6. 2:15 pm: Interior of the Capitol building breached by protesters.
  7. 2:50-3:00 pm: Likely earliest arrival time of Trump supporters from rally who heard Trump speak if they lingered, or grabbed a bite to eat, or went to their hotel rooms before proceeding towards The Capitol, or did not walk at a brisk pace that was likely only achievable by younger persons, persons in athletic shape, and unencumbered by crowds (most of which do not typically describe the average Trump supporter).  My friend, Derek Kennison, who was convicted just a few days ago by all counts against him for his participation on January 6 arrived at the Capitol at 2:45 pm, after all of the “insurrection” events had transpired.  He also never set foot on the steps or inside the building, never confronted any Capitol Police, and remained on the West Side of the Capitol, which is the grassy area where, for the most part, no alleged confrontations with law enforcement occurred.

So, if the people who heard Trump speak, even if hypothetically the “Capitol Riot” was an insurrection (by unarmed, mostly elderly Trump supporters) weren’t even on the grounds yet because they were still walking there when the “insurrection” happened, how is it that Trump is guilty of inciting insurrection?

As for the definition of insurrection, in the Fourteenth Amendment it is given that insurrection is against the Constitution.  But, the Electoral College was originally designed to only be Electors voting for President, not the general public.  The public’s vote was originally intended to be for their Elector, not for President.  The unconstitutional practice of Electors voting based on a democratic popular vote by the people for President did not emerge until the 1820s when Andrew Jackson demanded change based on his argument that he was popular among the people, and in order to save the Constitution the country needed to operate in a more democratic manner.  So, the Electoral College is not operating in line with its original constitutional expectations.  Second, according to the 1860 American Dictionary of the English Language, and the 1828 Webster’s American Dictionary of the English Language, Insurrection is defined as being: 

A rising against civil or political authority; the open and active opposition of a number of persons to the execution of a law in a city or state. It is equivalent to sedition, except that sedition expresses a less extensive rising of citizens. It differs from rebellion, for the latter expresses a revolt, or an attempt to overthrow the government, to establish a different one or to place the country under another jurisdiction. It differs from mutiny, as it respects the civil or political government; whereas a mutiny is an open opposition to law in the army or navy. insurrection is however used with such latitude as to comprehend either sedition or rebellion.

But, the First Amendment states that “Congress shall make no law…abridging…the right of the people peaceably to assemble.”

The Declaration of Independence states, “…whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…[and when government] reduce[s] them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government.”

What we deduce from the Fourteenth Amendment, the dictionaries of the time, the First Amendment, and the Declaration of Independence, insurrection is something that is committed against the Constitution, not a government that fails to follow the Law of the Land; insurrection tends to be violent, peaceful gatherings and protests are not insurrection; and if government is acting in a despotic manner in violation of the Constitution as it does today, to stand against it, even violently, is not insurrection, but rather is a right, and a duty, of the people.

No guns, or other weapons, were found to be present on January 6, 2021.  No violence was committed, except by perpetrators who were acting in a destructive manner prior to the arrival of those who heard Donald Trump speak.  If the argument by Trump and the protesters is accurate that the 2020 Election was indeed performed in an illegal manner, or that fraud was somehow a part of the election, the people standing against the government on that day had the right and the duty to do so.  The protesters were not acting against the Constitution, but against a governmental system that has been operating against the Constitution, therefore it is the political officeholders who are participating in unconstitutional actions, therefore, it is actually the officeholders claiming that the pro-Trump protesters were insurrectionists who are the actual insurrectionists.  

Donald Trump, therefore, cannot be refused the opportunity to hold office based on the Fourteenth Amendment because he has not been convicted of insurrection (and of the 91 charges against him in the current court cases being held, not a single indictment is for insurrection), and because he could not have incited insurrection because a) his supporters had not arrived yet at the Capitol when the alleged insurrection activities were being performed and b) because his supporters did not commit insurrection, they were instead exercising their First Amendment enumerated rights and protesting against a rebellious governmental system what is operating outside the legal limits of the United States Constitution.

So, no, Mr. Raskin, you cannot keep Trump out of office by merely accusing him of insurrection.

PALESTINE-ISRAEL

By Douglas V. Gibbs

AuthorSpeakerInstructorRadio Host

This morning I was looking through headlines and found articles reporting that a Jewish man in Thousand Oaks died from a head injury after an altercation with a pro-palestinian protestor.  I read a few different articles, local news, Fox News, and CNN and they all repeated the same line: the victim hit his head “when he fell backward.”  This afternoon NBC was reporting the same thing: https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/jewish-man-dies-israel-palestine-rally-thousand-oaks/3262171/

Like most Americans, my first thought was one of sadness, and “what an unfortunate accident.”

“A couple of older gentlemen,” I thought to myself, “got into a pushing match, and the Jewish man fell backward, stumbled, fell, and fatally cracked his head open.”

The police report also provided, based on witness testimony, that the man fell backward and hit his head.

Why would anyone believe differently?

Either the original witnesses questioned lied, the police lied, the media lied (or a combination, thereof), or the new information being provided is false, the latter I believe to be true.

Updated reports (not being recognized by any of the mainstream media sources I have visited) indicate an added wrinkle in the story.  “…a ‘pro-Palestinian protester,’ reportedly threw a megaphone at Kessler during the altercation.”  Another line in the story states:

Was the megaphone used to “bludgeon” the victim as suggested?  Why wasn’t the megaphone mentioned in earlier reports?  Why were we led to believe no weapon was used, and it was simply a bumping of the head after a person fell?

We have already seen, since the Hamas attack against Israel on October 7, the fabrications made to make the stories one-sided.  Unfortunately, support for the animal savages of Hamas even runs rampant in this country, and through the corridors of our institutions under the spell of the hard left Democrats, their allies, and the false religion of Islam.

pro hamas rally in DC jpg

By Douglas V. Gibbs

AuthorSpeakerInstructorRadio Host

A massive Pro-Palestine protest demonstrating against any U.S. support for Israel blanketed the streets of Washington D.C. today.  Aerial photos revealed dozens of streets loaded with protestors, occupying spaces that January 6, 2021 protestors occupied and were called “insurrectionists” because of their presence at the Capitol.  Sources state that the number of pro-Hamas protestors was somewhere between 50,000 and 100,000 people.

The protest, the largest since the Hamas attack against Israel on October 7, rallied against President Biden’s policy to give any support to Israel.  They expect the Democrats to support their Islamic Monolith attitude; all actions must be in full support of Islam.  The protestors claim the Israeli response to the Hamas attack is genocide against Palestinians, and charged Biden with being complicit in that alleged genocide.

About a month has passed since Hamas militants stormed across the Israeli border on October 7, killing more than a thousand people, and abducting hundreds, in a horrific manner that is pretty much a norm for Islamism.  Israel’s response has been limited, and papers have been dropped in Gaza to alert civilians of impending attacks before Israel bombarded the Gaza Strip and sent in ground troops.  Troops were engaged by Hamas fighters immediately, but despite the confrontations, the Israeli Defense Force has begun moving into the tunnels being used by Hamas under the region.

I wonder how many arrests were conducted in Washington D.C. as the pro-Hamas protestors invaded the streets of Washington D.C., and if any of those arrests will result in federal trials as we’ve seen regarding largely peaceful ralliers in Washington D.C. on January 6, 2021.

I’m not going to hold my breath on that one, but I welcome the protestor’s claim that since the Democrats are not one thousand percent with them, and since they quickly forgot about the hundreds of millions of dollars sent to Gaza in the name of COVID relief, and Biden’s call for Israel to pause their military efforts, they plan to put out the word for their political brethren to not vote for Biden in 2024.  With so many people abandoning Biden on election day, it may be possible for Trump to overcome the cheat.  We’ll see.

Israel-Map

By Douglas V. Gibbs

AuthorSpeakerInstructorRadio Host

It has been about a month, now, since Hamas crossed into Israel and viciously murdered any Israeli citizen they could, killing families in their homes, chopping the heads off of babies, and burning women and children alive.  Members of the Palestinian terrorist group, Hamas, called home to brag how many Jews they killed, acting as exterminators who see the lives of the people they were slaying to be less valuable than the animals in the field.  They are convinced that the Jews are occupiers, even though the strip of land called Israel was never fully occupied by Arabs during the reign of the Ottoman Empire, or since.  Even during the height of Islamic power in the region, Christians and Jews remained as residents in the land they now call, Israel.

When Israel became a nation Arabs were not slain and removed from their homes to make way for the Jewish State as Islam advertises.  Many of the Jews were already there, either residing in the region prior to World War II, or moving into the area as refugees during and after the war.

Even today, Muslims live within Israel.  Muslims who live outside of Israel have been commuting into the country to work, earning a better living than they would if they were employed by their homelands under Islamic rule.  Muslims live and work in Israel, they worship at mosques that exist in Israel, women in Israel are free to work and operate in public as they wish, Bibles in the hands of Christians are read freely and Christians worship freely, and both Muslims and Christians even hold political positions in Israel’s parliament, the Knesset.  However, no Jews live freely in Muslim countries.  No churches or synagogues are allowed in Muslim countries.  No Bibles, Torahs, or any other Jewish or Christian writings are allowed in any of the Muslim countries except on rare occasions where they are monitored closely by the government.  Any non-Muslims in Islamic countries are treated as infidels, must pay a tax for living in those regions, and are treated as second-class citizens.  Yet, Israel is the country accused of being an apartheid system?  Israel is the country being called upon to pause their fighting?  Jews are the ones being called the oppressors?  One doesn’t have to be religious, or even politically conscious, to recognize the idiocy we are watching.  Hamas, Hezbollah, and any of their supporters in any of the Palestinian territories, or beyond, are savages.  They are murderers.  They are liars.  And in view of the teachings of the Koran, the Hadiths, and the eyes of the Islamic leaders of pretty much all of the Muslim countries around the world, and Muslims infesting countries that exist in the Free World, they are good Islamic warriors doing the work of Allah and securing their place in Heaven.

Meanwhile, you have the Democratic Party and a number of GOP accomplices bending over backwards to be as anti-Israel as possible, some of them hoping that you won’t notice.  These are the people who used surveillance to spy on President Trump, his supporters and even Senate staffers and then lied about it to the world.  These are the people who launched the Russia-gate scheme covertly, and then lied about it to the world.  These are the people jailing and convicting January 6 Trump Supporters who walked over to The Capitol and arrived after the false flag had been waved and leftwing plants had created an “insurrection” scene, even though it wasn’t.  These are the people ruining the lives of Trump supporters, attendees of the January 6 rally, anti-abortion advocates and anyone else they see as the enemy because these people dare to show disagreement with the America they are trying to fundamentally change the United States into.  And now, with Israel, the leftists in the Swamp, some of them Republicans, and pretty much all of the Democratic Party, have put us in a position where World War IV (World War III is already in play with China’s internal war against the United States and The West) is looming on the horizon, and they have set it up in such a way that they will gain even more political power in the process, and get rich off of it at the same time.  They do not care about protecting Americans here or in the Middle East, they do not care about your liberty or that terrorists are crossing the border without any obstacles standing in their way, and they definitely don’t care if Israel survives as a sovereign Jewish state.  Americans and Jews in Israel have been taken hostage.  Americans and Jews in Israel have been killed.  And they don’t care.  The intelligence failure was intentional.  The Biden Administration is complicit with the cyber-attack conducted by Iran, Russia and China to bring down Israel’s state-of-the-art security system around their border so that Hamas could just waltz in and start slaughtering people.

Israel under Prime Minister Netanyahu, fortunately, is willing to do what they must for what is right, and in their case, for the survival of Israel.  While the Biden Administration is asking for a pause in the fighting, Netanyahu knows that a cease-fire simply allows Muslim warriors for Hamas and Hezbollah to regroup, reequip, and prepare for another series of attacks against Israel.  Netanyahu’s Israeli Defense Force, IDF, are in Gaza, and they have breached the tunnels under the region that the cowards of Hamas use.  The gutless warriors of Hamas use women and children as shields, and hid their headquarters under a hospital while filling homes, hospitals, and other targets that would normally be taboo for Israeli forces to hit with their equipment, guns, ammunition, and reprehensible group of cowards they call warriors.

Now, Iran is warning that if Israel keeps responding to Hezbollah’s attacks in the north from south Lebanon, they will get involved too.  Iran is already involved.  They are the largest sponsor of terror in the Middle East, aside from Russia and China.  This is their war.  This is their operation.  And now they dare to threaten Israel for responding to the senseless slaughter of their own people in their homes?

Iran will make sure that this does not end anytime soon.  This is indeed Israel’s war for survival.  The goal is to not stop until every Jew is killed, and then as they say, after they finish off the “Saturday People,” Islam will change tactics worldwide and start targeting the “Sunday People;” which means going house to house in places like America burning families alive, chopping the heads off of your children, and setting everything uniquely American and Christian ablaze.

This is a full-fledge war, and while I believe a part of the strategy is to draw us into a drawn-out Middle East War, we cannot do the opposite extreme, either.  The Biden Administration is reacting as if it is a small issue, and they think they can appease certain groups, and give themselves the headlines they desire if they can just dance around the circle of fire in a certain way.  Their goal is not to do the right thing, and to target the savage animals of Hamas and Hezbollah.  Their goal is to do whatever they think will increase their power, put more money in their pocket, and dwindle the population of their enemies in Israel and Conservative-Christian America.

The America I grew up in, and the one that would be in place if Trump was President, would be gathering intel, preparing for the next chapter in this situation, and telling Israel, “We are in this fight with you.  We are your ally, we have treaties with you, and as a freedom-loving country we will do what we can to protect you from the clutches of the savages that claim they are killing you in the name of Allah.”

War is not a tippy-toe obstacle course, or something that should be waged at the pleasure of power-seekers and profiteers.  War is simple.  Kill the enemy, or they kill you.  Target and take out the ones targeting you, or you lose.  And it is not something that can be done quickly.  This will not end this year, and probably not next year.  While I have a sneaky suspicion the timing right before our election year is not a coincidence, that doesn’t mean that suddenly everyone will lay down their arms after election day.  Islam, as long as they think it is in the will of Allah, will not stop, will show no mercy, and will continue to fight until either they push every Jew into a grave, or until they decide Allah wants them to stop and regroup.

They have been planning this.  They have been preparing for decades.  And I am willing to bet it got delayed by the election of Trump, because they knew better than to pull this kind of violence during Trump’s term as President of the United States.  Now that they are in action, they are not going to suddenly quit because Israel pauses, or because Biden’s Democrats claim we need to just all get along under a six-stripe rainbow flag.  They are in this for the long-haul.  Israel, and anyone who helps them, will not succeed in wiping out Hamas quickly.  They are entrenched, and they have plenty of young indoctrinated Muslim youths ready to step in as needed.  And, as we think we are gaining ground, they will get more brutal, more violent, and more brazen.

If the Biden regime, or his allies, remain in control of the United States Government, this war will spill into the United States.  Islam is willing and able to launch attacks here, domestically, against Americans.  A retired CIA friend of mine told me that thanks to the open-border policy of the Democrats, over 250 terrorist cells are in place in the United States, and most of the terrorists are hidden deep within American society.  An open-border means we don’t know who exactly is here, where they are, and how they are operating.  Most of the people crossing the border are OTMs (Other Than Mexican) and are young, military age, men.

What is the solution?  We need to get Trump back into office, we need to expose the enemy within and the enemy entering in, and we need to make sure we are armed to the teeth because a physical fight may be on the horizon right here in the United States.  I used to tell my buddies who are convinced a civil war or violent war of some other kind was inevitable in America that that is a last resort, and I, of course, wish to educate and take other actions first if it is at all possible to restore our republic in that manner.  Now, while I am not one-hundred percent convinced war on our soil is inevitable, I will say that all of my magazines are fully loaded, and all of my revolvers are ready to rock and roll.  What is the solution to all of this?  Restoration of the Constitution.  How will it be accomplished?  I used to believe solely through education, petitions, marches, and taking steps to restore the republican mechanisms of our system piece by piece.  Now, I am realizing that a little gun-play may also be appearing on the horizon of the whole process.  I am an optimist, but I am also a realist, and the reality is, the enemy is playing for keeps, and they have stepped up their game.

God and Patriotism are obstacles to the goals of those who seek to overthrow the United States Constitution.  As a result, the hard-left progressive loonies repeatedly target the Pledge of Allegiance.  They are determined to ensure that the Flag Salute is hidden from view, and removed from public schools.  I’ve heard arguments against the pledge that include that it incites racism, that it is an oath to the white supremacist patriarchy, can be a direct cause of division between children and even adults, that the Pledge promotes bullying between kids who recite the Pledge and those who do not, and it can “make immigrants feel bad” because it forces them to turn away from the pride they may hold regarding the country they came from.  When I was a kid it was mandatory to participate in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, unless you had a religious reason prohibiting you from participating. Since my childhood days the educational powers-that-be have made reciting the Pledge of Allegiance voluntary, and today’s teachers largely advise against it, or have eliminated the Pledge, and even the presence of the United States Flag, from their classrooms altogether.

The Democrats and their leftwing allies have compared the Pledge to loyalty oaths used in Nazi Germany, or claim it promotes dangerous overtones of division that is reminiscent of McCarthyism and xenophobia.  The opponents of the Pledge of Allegiance argue that it has no educational value, disrupts the learning experience because of the division it creates, and promotes a militaristic set of principles that have no place in the classroom.

The irony is that the Pledge of Allegiance was indeed written to be a loyalty oath by a socialist who aimed to use it to spread nationalism (love of government/a belief that all powers should be consolidated under the umbrella of the central government) across the United States.

Originally, a salute, similar to the Nazi salute, was used during the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance. The salute was changed to a hand-over-heart gesture when Nazi Germany used a similar salute, giving the original salute ominous insinuations of totalitarianism and genocide.

The phrase “under God” was added by a bill signed into law by President Eisenhower on June 14, 1954 (Flag Day), a decision largely driven by the lobbying of the Knights of Columbus, as a means of differentiating America from the “godless” Communists of the USSR.

President Benjamin Harrison ensured Bellamy’s Pledge was first used in public schools on October 12, 1892, during Columbus Day observances.

In 1923 the National Flag Conference called for the words “my Flag” to be changed to “the Flag of the United States”, for the benefit of new immigrants. The words “of America” were added a year later. The United States Congress officially recognized the Pledge as the official national pledge on June 22, 1942.

The Pledge of Allegiance, which was originally designed to be a socialist attempt to head America in the direction of tyranny, through the years came to be a patriotic recitation that many believe the Founding Fathers would be proud of.

It is truly amazing how America, with our exceptional spirit of liberty, can even turn something originally created to destroy us into a beloved show of patriotism.

Even more interesting is that originally socialists wanted the Pledge so that America may be turned into a nationalistic nation. But the goodness of America changed the Pledge to represent something else – What was meant to be a national socialist salute became a patriotic pledge that resides close to our hearts.

Now, after patriotism has changed the socialist Pledge into a thing of patriotic pride, the Left wants to eliminate it.

That all said, I want to remind everyone that a pledge is not something that suddenly uniquely appeared during the late 1800s.  The Founding Fathers provided us with the original pledge, at the end of the Declaration of Independence in 1776.  In that pledge it was to each other, rather than to a flag.

“With a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”
