One Enduring Gaza Truth?: The most enduring truth of the current unrest between modern Palestinians and the Jews is this: The fight is between two ancient residents who both equally have rights to the land. Correct? Actually, you’ll be amazed that this idea, now prevalent around the globe--is certainly false.
Celebrating Rape & Murder: A lovely young lady was captured by Hamas Oct. 7, 2023 at an Israeli music festival. This pacifist German-Israeli, Shani Louk--who once lived in Portland, Oregon was grabbed, beaten and raped before being slaughtered. So badly mauled, one of her legs was broken backwards at the knee. Her corpse was then driven among terrorists by truck, who approached the vehicle to spit upon her while others rode her corpse. Why?
It's entirely understandable that most Westerners believe the current 2023 attack by Hamas on Israel is simply lust for revenge and anger over Gaza’s conditions. But, wait! Instead, it's astounding to know the ultimate impulse in Iran funding Hamas is to usher in the age of the Mahdi, as their mighty savior. This war to utterly destroy Israel is now led by Iran’s Shia Islam and seeks to bring the End of Days. So,Biden’s gift of $6 billion to Iran guaranteed war would result, given their theology. See below…
Burning, Pyrrhic Leftism: It’s become increasingly clear that Leftism is committed to winning the political war by doubling down on chaos -- so-called a pyrrhic victory, where both parties must end up destroyed. Why? First, because this is leadership by emotion, which breeds chaos. Second, liberals panic while observing how human nature inevitably turns towards logic and clarity, whenever possible, but especially during disasters.
A Bad Week: In the last 7 days, Joe Biden’s been handed a GOP House impeachment declaration while his son Hunter was blasted with three weapons indictments. And so you may be asking yourself – what's next, for the aged, shuffling, hair sniffer? But friends, is it really that hard to figure out? There appears only one possibly safe exit for this ignoble clan, which could also save ne'er-do-well Hunter. Further, to kill further investigations that would doom the Dems. In other words, The Democrats could not survive a full investigation into Joe & Hunter.
Since Democrats own the Mainstream Media--lock, stock & barrel--we have no excuse for allowing a run by AN INCOMPETENT PREZ & VP in 2020. Add towering lummox, Senator Fetterman, unable to finish a single sentence. But now, as China and Russia are running war games off the coast of Alaska, how will Joe & Kamala respond if provoked? See, China and Russia Stage Naval Operations Near Alaska, Triggering US Naval Response.
Two Fake Impeachments: Further, and after 2 faked impeachments, and countless daily lies spewed against Trump by the Democrat Party, who wouldn’t believe the Dems didn’t try to rig the last election? Yet, most GOP members continue sitting on their hands. But America is now in mortal danger because conservatives didn’t do enough to support our candidates in the last election--‘nuff said!
Trump v Biden v Reality: Let's get to the most basic facts of the current moral struggle against Trump, versus the media’s lockdown defense of the Bidens. Make no mistake, it’s contrived. Now, this isn’t an argument that Trump is perfect, but simply an observation as to the facts. That Trump was slandered early and often, before entering office. And done so in such a multi-coordinated movement, that is seemed impossible to fake, to the average American. And therefore, many were drawn into the idea they themselves were elites noticing DJT was a super-outlaw, appealing to their vanity and immodesty.
This essay proposes an answer to the current collapse of the Rule of Law Doctrine–that all men and women are under the same fairly passed and justly applied laws. Currently, a former president is being persistently, legally persecuted at the same moment the current president’s son is receiving preferential prosecution and sentencing, both by the Feds.
The problem here is, even if you hate the guts of certain Americans, that is no excuse to radically degrade US law simply to destroy loathed individuals, or reward others. In other words, we must ask--Would any person be of such grave threat to America as to justify destruction of Due Process simply to effect his destruction?

Meanwhile, Trump is pilloried daily by Prosecutor Jack Smith, Don's personal assassin.
Now, can Trump still make it to the finish line in 2024? Ironically, The Donald stands in more danger of prison for "mishandling documents" than Hunter's unlicensed international lobbying laws, tax evasion, gun charges and many narcotics violations.
Meanwhile, today Reuters reports: "WASHINGTON, June 20 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden has agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor charges of willfully failing to pay income taxes and to enter into an agreement that could avert a conviction on a gun-related charge, according to a court filing on Tuesday."
But let’s be honest, it’s been an obvious Marxist Revolution all along. Now, consider why so many average Americans are standing up to finally reject corporate wokism. First, we observe an assault against traditional American rights of personal belief, religious conviction, and political and economic ideals. See “How ‘Wokeness’ Is a Product of Marxism.” James Lindsey points out Wokeness, in a Marxist style, separates oppressors from their victims, the Woke.
Regarding Yoram Hazony & the Marxist foundation of Wokism,
In an astonishing turn, furious Americans now revolt against our PC corporate masters, as first “Bud Lite” and now Target implode into financial free-fall. But other suicide corps also leap into the melee, to prove their woke bona fides like terrorist bombers boasting dynamite jackets. Consider Kohl’s flogging LGBTQ+ outfits for babies: “Selling 'pride' onesies for infants as young as 3 months.” But manic “Bud Light” has now rejoined gay pride by donating $200K! Results: $15 Billion off Target’s $72 Billion corp. worth – about 20%; while Bud has lost 80% of business and $27 Billion of the corp. worth.
Amazing fact! As our older leftist standards age, they run afoul of new commitments, eviscerating the past ideals. Goodbye to claims of absolute rules and ultimate truth. Thereby, liberals expose their entire con-game, based on incremental gain of the whole society. But demolishing one set of ideals, then setting up new ones to be disappointingly obliterated again… as the world falls deeper into confusion displayed in ever-enveloping chaos.
“All is flux!” – Hericlitus
America’s current malaise, w/ Bidenesque government failure and an illiterate societal implosion is ultimately predicated upon a loss of religious foundation for moral order. It’s reminiscent of the 16th century brilliant intellectual Hugo Grotius’ canny removal of God from law to protect mankind from ongoing religious wars, which backfired. Instead, this innovation created a godless law, ultimately leading to tyranny. For one description of Marxism is humanistic nihilism. See Hugo Grotius' secular and subjective concept of natural law:
Pondering the “Trump Prosecution Persecution,” I suggested to a friend, “Roger,” we officially drop all charges against Donald, let him win reelection, then allow him to fix everything Biden’s destroyed. Afterward, if people are still angry at Donald, after he saves the day, let them chase him again. That’s not what I would prefer, but it might be his only option. Further, I believe even the Donad would agree to that deal since he’s an American patriot, warts and all. But, anti-trumpers are irrational, implacable, obdurate and will fantasize about a Don bloodlust till they croak. But at least, I say tongue in cheek, we could finally fix Liberal’s insane tantrum effects.
Finally, Trump was indicted as he predicted. But now what to do? Rioting is senseless when the GOP has congressional power and while the Senate is in GOP reach. But how to interpret the latest lies and indignities against President Trump? It’s time to pray and know that justice will prevail as conservatives build good strategy while not panicking but staying the course.
Augustine "Law that is not just, is not actually a law" – Nam mihi lex esse non videtur, quae justa non fuerit
Everyone has an opinion about Trump's indictment and his rumored upcoming arrest. But it's possible what Democrats think is the last necessary attack to expose Donald as a true monster & knock him out of the 2024 election will backfire. Astonishingly, famed Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz stated Trump can still run if indicted, and even if convicted could run the United States from prison. Meanwhile, Elon Musk states arresting Donald Trump will cause a landslide victory. So consider these problems with New York City's prosecution of Donald Trump, our once – and future president? Consider the following weak points of the prosecution:
The United States traded our historically high standards and commitment to reality for sleepwalking into a fantasy world where no positive outcomes are possible. Because our “elite” ideological fantasists avoid reality. Consider we have wholesale rejected everyday truths and the most basic facts. But as millions of illegals pour over the border, men pour into women’s sports, the poor drown under discretionary inflation, we all know how using cancel culture to kill American reality will turn out.
Meanwhile, in an extraordinary act of insipid bravado, Silicon Valley Bank had NO HEAD OF RISK MANAGEMENT for almost a year while its European risk manager drowned the unguided Corporation in woke training and self-congratulatory diversity celebrations. See DailyMail: “Silicon Valley Bank had NO head of 'risk assessment' for nine months before it collapsed...
So--what exactly is wrong with Attorney General Merrick Garland? During his early March '23 congressional hearings it's become obvious he's not up to the job--but why? Isn't he supposed to be SCOTUS material? If you consider that no average person would purposefully ruin their own reputation through incompetence, then there is no explanation. Yet, he's done so while chuckling at his critics and pretending to be offended.
Failing Papers: Mainstream newspapers have lost readers for years, but NOW blame failure, not on relentless mediocrity, but Facebook. Yet, anyone with the cast-iron stomach to consume our literary equivalent of frozen salisbury steak will assert there's no intellectual, spiritual or emotional content. Yet, what else would possibly better pique the interests of average Americans?
Gov't News? But now, inveterate leftists demand the government to underwrite our papers, despite them failing for good cause. See Feb 21, 2023: “US local news outlets need tax breaks to save democracy, says advocate” from Rebuild Local News, claims they will save hundreds of outlets decimated by changes across America, by requesting tax credits of $3.5 Billion. Now, is there any better evidence of a failed idea than needing billions to resurrect?
Is incompetence the goal when the state decides to toss itself into self-created stormy seas, or just the unintended byproduct? Or, What do Democrats gain by failing to respond to the most elementary foreign incursions against America like a massive balloon lurking overhead taking exquisite pics of US defense? But now we’ve now seen the US shoot this spy balloon down. Yet, only after much citizen opposition against letting it float unimpeded over the USA.
It’s NOT a weather balloon, but a lower level spy ship sent to test Biden’s mettle. Then again, What did Biden gain by abandoning 1,000’s of Americans in Afghanistan and $80 billion in weapons to the Taliban? But we digress…
