A Bit of Wisdom from a good friend

We've watched the political nest of party politics that the Senate has become and wondered how to fix it. Term limits? No, the founders set it up properly and we messed it up properly with the 17th amendment.

That change made it so the senators were elected by general election for terms of 6 years and now.....today, with uninformed, name recognition voters, senators enjoy a re election rate around 80%. The constitution as written had the senators chosen by the state legislatures to represent the sovereign state in the national congress and if the senator failed to do this to the pleasure of the state, they were recalled and replaced.

This current system, under the 17 Amendment, was put in place in 1913 by the Wilson Progressive Liberal Misadministration and it has turned the states into provinces with no direct voice in our national legislature.....an abomination of the founder's intent for the sovereign states to act as a check on the power of the federal government.

Now, we angst about the stacking of the Supreme Waste to keep this government within the narrow lanes of the constitution.....the fox watching the hen house.

A repeal of the 17th would put the Senate back as a representative of the sovereign states with the state legislatures having full control of selection and recall of senators..... and then immediately check the out of control federal government we now have. Most of the resulting adjustments will be on the part of the Deep State and the Senate lobbyists and that's fine with me.

We screwed with the system and now it is not working...…over $35 trillion federal debt, military scattered across the globe in expensive and unnecessary bases, 19 year military occupation of Afghanistan with no stated goal, involved in everyone's business and can't control our own borders or manage to budget and spend adequate tax revenue on our own nation......this needs to stop.

Repeal the 17th.....but, in order to do that with this sad, divided and partisan congress we need to use the backdoor the founders provided in the constitution...it will take an Art V, Constitutional Convention of the States.

"This week, announcing his Vatican trial for the crime of schism, the archbishopVigano published a long statement that connects what he describes as the agenda of Pope Francis with that of the secular ideology of “globalism.” He accuses the Pope of promoting unchecked immigration, LGBTQ+ ideologies and environmentalist agendas, aligning the Church with the World Economic Forum and ignoring the persecution of Catholics in China and elsewhere. "

The present occupant of the Vatican, who replaced Benedict, possibly the most brilliant theologian of our times, is much like the Borgias  They replaced faithful Catholic popes who precded them. Francis refuses to punish Bishjops guilty of gay sexual assault, allows China to corrupt and replace the Church with a "religious" office of the Chinese Communist Party, and he is. like Biden, a traito to his charge of protecting his people and in Francis' case, the Church itself. 

His "election" to the Papacy was orchestrated by Theodore McCarrick, the first Cardinal in modern times to be removed from the priesthood for moral corruption. Theodore McCarrick led a cabal of gay men who entered the priesthood in the 1960s in a move by the Church to expand the priesthood to men who swore to be celibate and who were known to be gay. This cabal of gay priests rose to prominence in the Church and, letd by McCarrick, nearly destroyed the Church. Pope Francis was always supported by this group, even while he was a priest and Bishop in South America. 

The present occupant of the Holy See is not a faithful Catholic, nor should he be running the Church, as he completely ignores tradition and traditional values. John Paul II would be appalled at having gay men dancing in St Peter's, or having a worship service in the Vatican using a statue of a fertility goddess from Mexico as the focus instead of the Holy Mother. The very fact that the mainstream liberal media love him is damnable in of of itself. He has tried to make the Church make the same deadly and corrupt mistakes the Episcoal Church and other Protestant sects have made. He must be stopped. and the mistakes made in the name of Vaticn II must be reexamined and corrected. 

Maybe the Pious X movement was right all along. The rulers of the Church are not faithful to it.

According to the American Psychological Association, approximately 40-50% of first marriages end in divorce. The divorce rate for second marriages is even higher, with approximately 60-67% of second marriages ending in divorce.  When it comes to men and women, there's a clear answer as to who is filing for divorce more often. Nearly 70 percent of divorces are initiated by the wife. In addition, over 50% of divorced wives never want to remarry while only about 30% of men express that same sentiment. 

Men tend to lose more in marriage, and it's beginning to look like the liberal courts are not going to stop that trend any time soon. Further more, nearly every woman who files for divorce routinely files a PFA against "defendant". There are a lot of serious consequences for the man when she does this. He will lose his CCW and probably his guns, if he is a hunter or collector, that can mean losing thousands of dollars worth of guns. If those guns were handed down in his family, they usually have a lot of sentimental value. 

His chances of getting them back are about 1/10. It doesn't matter if the PFA is lifted in court settlement or not, they are gone. This is yet another consequence of "sensible" gun laws. No gun laws today are in any way "sensible" or just. Nor is our "domestic relations" system. As is the case in sexual assault cases, any man is guilty until proven guilty. That has one coveat; in cases where the man doing the rape or sexual assault is a self declared "trans" , there is little likelihood he will be charged, mush less prosecuted. In multiple cases where young girls have been raped by men in skirts in their own bathrooms and locker rooms, literaly nothing was done to the male/trans person who committed the rape. 

This has been suppressed and coverd up at every level from the schoolboard to the MSM because there are leftists in power and gays always vote Democrat. I am not being cynical here, just honest. The court system, and in particular, the domenstic relations courts, are political in nature. The MSM and schools are run by liberals who fully intend to control and manipulate information and narrative. Both the Obama and Biden admnistrations were and are corrupt and run by unelected career bureaucrats. These are not nice people. They were appointed for favors done and dirty deeds doone cheap (with apologies to AC/DC) and they stay in power doing that for a liviing. Their sole motivation is to gain and maiintain power and control. Most are amoral and socially pathological. It is necessary in their world to be that way. 

Our society is in decline. This is not debatable. The decline in morals, intellectual levels of the average citizen and functionality of the government is not really arguable, it is truly self evident. The Traditional family is under attack. The majority of people, even those who avidly support the leftist gobvernment and globalist movement admit they have little confidence that thiings will get better. This is one of the hallmarks of "Double Think", the self preservation mentality so well described in the novel 1984. In a word, Orwell called it, spot on. 

To come back around to the significance of the SCOTUS decision on confiscating weapons from any man who has a PFA filed against him by a disgruntled female, it's just symptomatic of the decliine and societal war on the traditional family. The bad guys are winning. It will just get worse. 

I guess even the woke community has had enugh from arrogant and violent illegals getting away with murder, rape and gang activity.

"The Venezuelan illegal immigrant influencer who went viral with his TikTok videos urging other migrants to squat in people’s homes has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials,  Leonel Moreno was arrested by ICE’s Detroit field office and is now in federal custody, an ICE official told Fox News. He was caught by the agency’s fugitive ops team in Gahanna, Ohio on Friday.  In one night, ICE arrested 5 illegals who were released by Democrat DAs without bond, with no supervision. 4 of them are serial child rapists, the other, a MS13 gang banger also charged with serial child rape. These are what we have coming into our country courtesy of Biden's open border policy. "

The Democrat woke DAs are complicit in enabling these horrific crimes and maintaining "sanctuary city" policies that tie the hands of both federal and local authorities in dealing with crime by illegal alien invaders. The progressive faction of the Democratic Party has institituted the ongoing ethnic cleansing against whites and asians, trying to increase the ranks of mindless Democrat voters, even if they are voting illegally. Every Democrat voter is likewise complicit and has blood on their hands. The blood of these children cires out for vengence and strong action on our part. Every responsible citizen in this country should be up in arms against the Biden border policies, the liberal crime enabling Democrat political officials and the bureaucrats whose self serving poicies allow such things as these to go on.

Not only are liberals corrupt and morally bereft, their policies are both unworkable and incredibly damaging to the country. It is time to stop the rape of our Constitution and restore common sense are fiscal responsibility to our government. 

The Traditional Family has not just lost it's Heart , more importantly, the Traditional Family has lost its Hearth.

 It is obvious that the traditional family is under attack from LGBTQ, the DNC, lliberal Media, liberal educators, Feminists, the DOJ and anti American groups like BLM and Antifa (even though half of Antifa live in their parent's basement). The Left doesn't like the traditional family because it contains a strong father figure who works and cares for his family, guides young men to be protectors, not oppressors, and young women to learn to be strong and nurturing, and to be truly feminine. 

Feminists in paticular insust that to be strong, a woman must be as "Butch" as possible. They even support mentally ill men who dress as women and abuse them in locker rooms and on the field, This is a greater priority than protecting biological women. Being trans allows a man to beat up women, fondle and even rape them without recourse. Yeah, that is feminism, neuveau woke , in a nutshell. 

BLM chastizes men who support their families and try to raise their sons to be good and decent men as "too white". Antifa believes that since single parent families roduce more mentally ill kids, they allow a bigger harvest of violent and victim mentalities to be easily indoctrinated into the woke hyper-violent world of disenchanted street fodder for riots and general mayhem.

These forces, along with our government, whose alliance with leftist globalist anti-western culture norms is a long standing problem, does little tohelp maintain what is the single most positive and productive institution in the history of mankind. Put simply. the traditional family is the single most positive and successful model for raising kids, increasing the educational level of the population, and decreasing crime, drug use and violence among young men. Every argument againsst the family is purely political in origin because the traditional family thrives in a democratic republic and vice versa. A free country and traditional family values go together, plain and simple. This is a basic truth that the Left, in all its guises, wants to suppress and even try to make it illegal to say. 

Feminism tries  to denigrate the maternal model of a mother at home with her kids and Dad out working and providing for them. The government and corporate culture has done it's level best to undermine that model by artificially inflating the cost of living, suppressed wages. and discouraging strong family models in movies, books, shows and other media output. Every Disney movie or story has gay characters as the heroes, single women denigrating males and the bad guy is almost always a white male. Only males in today's "entertainment" do evil, gays , non-whites etc are the ones to foil the evil NWP (normal white person), AKA Karen (female white) and Dick (male white). They. no longer are even subtle about it. Even shows like "the 100" on Netflix has more (by far) gay relationships, especially amng the main charactres than they do straight ones. This is a show aimed at young adults. Think about that. 

Even the Catholic Church, once the Bastian of Family values, has turned her back on the faithful and endorsed the liberal world view. The media equates support of the family (mother,father, children) as being somehow extremist. right wing. It's sad, foul and cetainly dangerous. With the downfall of the family comes the downfall of our western culture and definitely the Catholic Church. Pope Franccis was elected by a cabal of gay clerics from the 60s, many of whom were center stage in the sex abuse scandals involving high ranked clerics. Those Bishops and Cardinals with conservative, faithful Catholic views have been picked off one by one by this "pope". He is a rerun of the Borgias. Those who do not understand history are indeed dooomed to repeat it. 

Aong the mainstream Protestant denominations, many examples of satanic rituals have not only been permitted in the churches, but encouraged. There is a video of a gay Satanic "priest" giving a sermon as the Protestant minister looks on unconcerned with the sacrilege he is allowing. If you think about it, who. would Satan target most? "Strike the Shepherd and the sheep shall be scattered". One of Satan's greatest victories in our culture is to make people disbelieve in him. Whether you believe in the serpent who bites you or not is irrelevant. You will suffer the consequences of that bite. 

Josef Stalin famously stated "When I control the media, disarm the public, restrict and control travel, I have won, and the police state is already in place." We will perish, not with a shout, but with the whimper of subjugated slaves of the satanic State. We have a slim chance to reverse this precipitous decline at the polls this November. If the Democrats maintain power, not only our nation is dead, so are our souls.
