Rick Hayes lives in the epicenter of liberal land where reality and truth will never encounter a welcome mat.
An award-winning writer and photographer, with over twenty years of professional experience in both fields, Hayes started his journalism adventure after a successful, eye-opening career as a Banker in Wall Street. Although he spent his early work life surrounded by custom made shirts, expensive ties and the shiniest of shoes, Hayes was an accomplished singer, cutting a few records with a local band and appearing on one of the first cable shows.
Working for a weekly New York paper, in one of the most politically corrupt areas in the State, he began investing his time trying to understand the nature of corruption.
Although many Americans are demanding investigations into the embarrassing fiasco in Afghanistan, there are many reasons to forgo such a path.
Americans are rightly weary and tired of years of politically motivated false investigations into the Russian collusion and Ukrainian Quid pro quo witch-hunts.
Americans should carefully watch the happenings in Afghanistan. The same administration that allowed Afghanistan to crumble in just a few days is the same administration that is allowing America to be invaded by millions of unvetted, Covid positive illegal immigrants.
The formidable forces that changed America into something very different from what the founding fathers envisioned have a surprise awaiting them.
Estimates of illegal immigrants currently living in the country range anywhere from eleven to twenty million. According to the Washington Examiner, only 68 percent of illegal immigrants entering the southern border are apprehended. However, apprehensions don't tell the whole story since thousands of those captured are immediately released into the surrounding area.
Seen as the responsible duty of any person who cares about the planet's future, what is to prevent the United States Government from mandating that all Americans immediately purchase solar panels and electric cars in the interest of climate change and saving the earth?
What is to prevent corporate America from refusing gainful employment or airlines refusing transportation to any American who does not provide proof of purchase of solar panels and electric cars?
Nothing if Americans now accept mandatory vaccines in whatever form they take. The time to stop poison Ivy is not when it has taken over the garden but when it first sprouts.
According to the media, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and the unprecedented pro-vaccine publicity campaign, anyone not getting the COVID-19 vaccine must either be a racist or a fool.
And if some Americans don't voluntarily comply, the plan is to force them to inject an unapproved substance into their bodies with threats of ostracizing them from society.
I remember watching a martial arts "master" conduct a class in front of an audience where all he did was wave his hands, and scores of his students immediately fell to the ground.
When these students regained their strength and tried another way to combat the master, all he needed to repel any attack was another simple wave of his hand, and again the students crashed to the floor.
Americas' Michael Johnson, the elite 400 and 200-meter sprinter, stretched the chest area on his track jersey when he won Olympic gold to showcase the U.S.A lettering.
U.S. Olympic champion Carl Lewis ran with the American flag after capturing 1st place in the 100-meter dash.
"I love you, America." was shouted by U.S. Olympic champion Justin Gatlin after beating an elite field at the Olympic games.
Republicans, Democrats, those on the far right and far left are all searching for something. Should we pass more laws, win more elections, place more judges on the courts to get what we want?
That depends on what it is that we want. If we want more power, passing more laws, winning more elections, and placing more judges on the courts is the road to take. And how much power do we want? Is there ever enough power? History always shows us that those who have obtained wealth, fame, and power always want more.
The United States was indeed developed and strengthened with the welcomed inclusion of immigrants worldwide. It is also true that this country has vast amounts of land that can easily accommodate millions of refugees fleeing murderous drug cartels and oppressive dictatorships. So why are millions of Americans against President Bidens' "path for citizenship" to millions of illegal immigrants and his opening up the southern border?
On Saturday, March 20th, an elderly gentleman walked his dog through a New York City park on a beautiful sunny day. "I fled from communist Russia," he said while facing a small group of people taking in the day on one of the park benches. In a side-to-side motion with his arm, while pointing his finger, he said, "This country is doing exactly what Russia did to become communist, and you people are allowing it to happen. Wake up."
The man is 100% correct. Who can argue against the fact that Americans are losing their Constitutional freedoms at a rate never before seen in the history of this country? The freedom to speak openly and freely is almost a thing of the past. What Americans are not allowed to say is almost as prevalent as the tonnage of information Americans are not allowed to know.
John Adams said: "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
Look around at the laws and progressive policies waiting to be passed . Abortion even after birth, men competing in women's sports, and children crushed into shipping containers at the border. Moral and religious?
If you were told you could no longer eat, would you spend time searching for the best cookbook? The establishment left revealed to conservatives that their votes no longer count, yet conservatives still discuss strategies for the 2022 election and whether Trump will run in 2024.
On programs such as Fox News, Americans learn how Democrat policies are destroying American minorities, women, and children. How gas prices are rising, the border is collapsing, and lockdowns are political.
There were many reasons the war between the states occurred. Many southern men fought in the Civil War, not because they believed in slavery, but, as with Confederate General Robert E. Lee, they were against the Federal government infringing on States' rights.
However, later the conflict evolved into one where Americans were either in favor of slavery or against slavery. There was no middle ground, no compromise, and no political method to remedy the vast difference in direction. And so, the impasse was settled through widespread violence. Six hundred and twenty thousand men had to perish for the country to remain united and regain civility.
Imagine if General Robert E. Lee's Army of Virginia (assuming Americans still know who Robert E. Lee is) marched into Washington DC. without a single shot being fired, he conquered the Capitol and installed Jefferson Davis as President.
Although nobody died, and no buildings were destroyed, could anyone argue against the reality that the United States was in the middle of a civil war? But the fake propaganda media is doing exactly that today. They continue to pretend that the United States had just completed a legitimate democratic election process when what happened was the overthrow of the Presidency.
Hours after being sworn in as the 46th President, Joe Biden signed several Executive Orders that are keeping with the Democrats' long history of destroying the lives of minorities.
There is no doubt that the propaganda media, well versed in re-writing the sordid history of the Democrat Party and slavery, will spin the realities of Biden's EOs to fraudulently portray them as civil rights milestones.
Many Americans, particularly those who believe there was fraud in the 2020 election, apparently do not understand the damage unhealthy opinions have on a society looking for unity.
Democrats and companies such as Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter have taken steps toward solidarity and, as a result, are faced with the difficult task of vigilantly monitoring language that they believe is subversive and tearing the country apart.
Whenever there is change, and preventing hurtful speech for the first time in this country is a significant change, there will be resistance.
