A Bit of Wisdom from a good friend

 
Gary Gobel

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. 

It is now Illegal to be "Openly Jewish" in London. We're next.

 

The UK disarmed its citizens a few years ago. There was an unreported 300% increase on violent crimes (rape, burglary, muggings, etc). These were  suppressed by the UK government as "inciting or agitating unrest among the public'. With this action, citizens were summarily reduced to subjects and any semblance of personal freedom, and it gets worse with the passage of time. 

Recently, a Jewish man was accosted on a London street (he was wearing a yalmakir) by Mohammedan Pro-Palestinian rioters. The police, rather than go after the thugs attacking him, threatened him with arrest for "being openly Jewish" in public. They did back off on arresting him, but dragged him off for "questioning". This is because the London Mayor is Muslim,  a believer in Sharia Law and there have been so many illegal aliens from Muslim countries invading the UK that the population has shifted to a near majority of migrant/illegal aliens. Yes, this is the very definition of ethnic cleansing, and it is happening here as well. The difference here is that we are still (for now) armed citizens. Unfortunately for the people of the UK, they are not armed, and they, literally, are subjects, not citizens. There is no provision for personal protection, especially against police over reacting and abuse of UK citizens, almost always white, non Muslim Brits. A well known right wing reporter was dragged to the ground and beaten by 8 cops for asking Muslim rioters why they were blocking the street. He was, apparently,"inciting to riot" by asking rioters why they were rioting. You can't make this stuff up. 

With the armed resistance to US Marshalls confiscating the cattle of a western US farmer, the US government was placed on notice that we are not cowed subjects like England or Germany. However, the influx of illegals from the southern border and the influx of foreign agents through the Canadian border have created a possibility of a dystopian overturning of our republic by third world agents. the DNC has followed the playbook of the German Nazi Party post Reichstag fire by the book. BLM/Antifa are today's Sturmabteilung and the DOJ is the Democrats' Gestapo/SS. Only a police state allows the political arrest of an opposition candidate, especially when the sitting President is guilty of crimes far worse than the man he had arrested. 

One must keep in mind that both AOC and Hillary Clinton proposed a program to list and arrest anyone who voted for Trump or who supports him and reopen the concentration camps used in WWII to house Japanese Americans for use as "re-education" camps for "deplorables". This is the same term used by Stalin for the gulags in Russia. Don't think "that can't happen here!". Yes it can and it did in WWII. These camps were never really closed, and they are ready to be reactivated at any time. Recently, several Hollywood figures suggested that anyone who refuses a Covid vaccination should be rounded up and placed in these camps. The Progressive Left has no problem following the lead of the Soviet Union and the CCP in dealing with opponents of the Party. There is a reason why the Lefvt favors "gun control", it is literally the first step in creating a soviet style police state. 

The open border policy of the Democrats is a blatant ethnic cleansing program against Whites and Asians to replace the conservative voting bloc with "people of color" and Muslims who are well programmed into obedience to the government from their Third World background. They will do what they are told and the US will be converted en masse into a 1984 style police state. If you actually think that cannot happen, you are sadly mistaken. "All I need to do to establish an absolute authoritarian state is this: disarm the population, control the Media, and restrict travel. At this point, my control is absolute. " Josef Stalin. 

It has become apparent that the majority of "conspiracy theories" are indeed true. It is a standing joke among my friends that we all need new conspiracy theories because all the old ones have come true. All of the doomsday predictions in the 1960s by the KKK, John Birch Society, Abe Lincoln Brigades and other "hate groups" have literally come true. They were absolutely correct. Black activist groups have actively supported a de facto Black Supremacist Apartheid movement. Black Lives Matter is actually "Only Black Lives Matter" and Antifa is actually Anti-White, not anti-racist. Indeed Antifa is about as fascist as can be, as is BLM. 

In the current climate of progressive liberal absolutism, sanity and sense of reality are completely subjective and indeed reality itself is "optional". We are being forced to acknowledge that any dysfunctional mentally ill person who wants to believe they are not the biological sex they were born is correct. That is tantamount to enabling a paranoid schizophrenic delusional system and aiding them to live out that delusion. We even encourage LGBTQ acticvists to groom our kids into mutilation by "gender therapy" and open their minds to normalization of pedophelia. We are becoming a society where the insane are controlling the sane, not vice versa. 

Unfortunately, "for evil to flourish, it only requires that good men do nothing" and that is exactly what we are doing. We should be on the streets in vigilante squads protecting our society and weeding the garden. The government cannot and will not do so. The entrenched Obama era bureaucrats are both disinclined to do what is right and too incompetent to do so anyway. We need both a Convention of States to correct our Congressional dysfunction and gridlock and a Jeffersonian upheaval to correct the corruption of the liberals in our society. 

The Democrats now Dismiss the "Crimes" They Accused Trump of Committing Evidence and Testimony Show Biden Committing.

No matter your political affiliation, anyone listening to the Hunter Biden hearings can no longer claim Joe Biden is not dirty. The issue here is whether to prosecute Joe for these crimes. The fact they have shown rather disturbing hypocrisy during the hearings aside, and discarding the rabid fringe element of the Democratic Party, the determining factor is whether there is any moral or ethical sense left in the mainstream Democrat. 

https://www.foxnews.com/video/6349430073112

There is no denying the facts, Joe Biden profited from Hunter Biden's influence pedaling and was fully aware of and protected his son's illegal behavior. He has colluded with foreign corporations and allowed influence pedaling. He did, in effect everything that Trump was falsely accused of doing. The question facing the Democrats is whether to allow and even promote a two tiered justice system. They don't seem to believe that everyone is entitled to the same protection under the Constitution. If that is the case and this is allowed to continue, a civil war is probably inevitable. The issue of allowing a two tiered justice system where Conservatives are indeed considered "deplorable" and deprived of rights under the Constitution is far, far more divisive than even slavery was. 

It is not at all a stretch to consider that the Democrats would resort to martial law and install a police state supported by globalist interests in order to maintain power. Both Hillary and AOC have proposed making a list of undesirables and reactivating the WWII era concentration camps formerly used for detention of Japanese Americans in WWII to detain them, and both believe that Stalin era "re-education" prograns must be used to reprogram the Pro-Trump "delorables" into well behaved and obedient little liberal sheep.. They have removed political opponents and inconvenient persons by assassination in the past. Hillary has a truly impressive trail of "natural cause" deaths in her wake, and nobody in their right mind can believe Epstein committed suicide. Even the ambassador abandoned to a grisly death and torture in Benghazi was coincidentally about to testify against the Clintons. Pure coincidence becomes suspect when it happens repeatedly. Tellingly, neither AOC or Hillary have backed off this idea. Hillary's "boy" Barack, even stated publicly that the Constitution he swore to uphold and defend is simply "an inconvenience" to his designs.

Both Democrats and Republicans have their share of dirty politicians, but the family business of the Democrats is far and away more sordid. Whether the corrupt city of Detroit, Chicago's entrenched Democrat machine or NYC's mob governance, the Democrats have elevated corruption to an art form. so, one can only wonder if there is any moral fiber in the Democratic Party to make the changes needed to correct the mess in which we now find ourselves. I firmly beliieve that only a massive purge of government, Local, State and Federal, of all liberals as well as in education, can bring this country back from it's present slide into Third World banana republic status. Moreover, the Democrat's corruption is part and parcel of their political platform. 

We have at least two generations of illiterate, politically ignorant people who are fodder for liberal indoctrination and MSM gaslighting. Critical Thinking, Logic and knowledge of Social Sciences are as murky to them as cursive writing or manual transmissions. The traditional family is on the brink of extinction and fathers in the home are becoming a rare thing indeed. Young men are not taught to be protectors, and are taught to hate themselves and their country, while girls are taught that their children are not humans and can be slaughtered for profit without a qualm. Thanks to the liberals we have brought the novel 1984 to near reality. Yes, it is that bad and rapidly getting worse. Ascerbic, bitchy and chronically PMS liberated "women" , who refuse to declere exactly what woman is, are talking heads on MSM and all are in lockstep with the Narrative, acting to prevent women from actually thinking for themselves, all the while gsslighting them into thinkiong they are doing so. Last year's Woman of the Year was not a woman at all,but a biologicsl intact male who likes to dress in women's clothing and mince about looking like some disgusting schizophrenic delusional nightmare come to life. 

It becomes even more scary when one becomes familiar with the actions of the Nazis post Reichstag fire and juxtaposition it with the actions of the DNC, Antifa and BLM. Neven before has so much of our land and industry been owned by a hostile foreiign power, and our government has kept secret and even protected spy balloons owned and operated over the US and Canada by the Chinese Government. Put it all together and the results of the 2024 election become much more of a watershed than any election in the past. For the first time in my life, I believe it necessary for the US military to enact their protocols for devolution of power as in the case of an internal attack on the government by fifth column agents embedded in the government. The military is NOT sworn to protect the government, they are sworn to protect the Constitution of the United States, when and if the government no longer does so. One can only hope they will faithfully conduct their duty in the face of our government/s apparent decision to suppress the Constitution and install a globalist police state in the place of our Republic. "The Tree of Liberty on occasions must needs be watered by the blood of Patriots. It is the high cost of freedom and liberty thet every generation hopes not to be called on to pay, but paid in full it must be for Liberty to thrive and grow" T.Jefferson.

What will the Left say when their beloved "liberal" government declares martial law to prevent their losing control of the government? When the NTS shuts down all travel, the internet is completely censored, the public is disarmed and illegal alien gangs run amok, when most stores have to close their doors due to BLM instituted looting, and it is illegal to go to church? When you cannot defend your family or your home from criminals brecause the government will imprison you? This is what they left has led us to. Unfortunately, we all have to live with their failure and the consequences of their lies.
