The Controlled Demolition Of America

Everyone has probably seen at least one demonstration of a controlled demolition. Some old building somewhere needs to come down so a crew of demolition specialists is called in. They analyze the building for weakness, plant charges in specific places that will do just enough damage so gravity can finish the job. Once the charges are placed and the switch is thrown the building collapses in on itself in a cloud of dust and debris.

America, like the aforementioned building, has a foundation. It’s been a solid, reliable foundation that has seen a young upstart nation through many trying times. Properly maintained it will support us as we reach for heights and discoveries yet to be imagined.

Rather than risk a full on frontal engagement the enemies of America (yes America has enemies both foreign and domestic) have been attacking that foundation systematically, consistently and relentlessly. So what exactly is the foundation of America? Lets unpack that.

To understand the foundation of America you must understand the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, The Bill of Rights and The Ten Commandments. You must read them. It’s not difficult they are all fairly short documents. Having read them you must then think about what they say and why they say it. I can’t do those things for you but I can try and point you in the right direction.

America’s foundation has always been strong. Until recently nearly everyone understood that the bricks that made up that foundation were nonnegotiable. Bricks like…

Law and order, equality before the law, the law equally applied to everyone. Yes, the system was never perfect but we believed in it’s potential and worked endlessly to correct it where it went wrong. Today those concepts have been stood on their heads. Law and order is no longer the goal of our leaders. They see police as nothing more than a tool to enforce their desires over us. Equality before the law now means your political enemies must be ruthlessly crushed for no other reason than they are your political enemies. Law and order is now based on skin color and social status. The names Biden, Clinton, Comey et al prove in glaring neon letters that the law does not apply to some. At the other extreme, the January 6th protestors, whatever you may think of them, do not deserve to be denied counsel, held in solitary confinement for nearly a year, physically and mentally abused by their jailers, denied their right to a speedy trial and access to exculpatory evidence held by the Capitol Police force. This failure extends deep into the Judicial branch as judges abandon law and order in favor of judicial activism.

Education and the ability to think used to be the only goal of the schooling system in America. The problem America’s internal and external enemies have is that a people capable of thinking critically will forever be an insurmountable obstacle to their attempts to Lord over us. Critical thinking skills destroy the myths of things like modern economic theory and critical race theory. The ability to think critically allows people to see through the fallacy of Global Warming/Climate Change. Critical thinking skills help people to know when they are being lied to, negating the value of government propaganda.

Economic solvency had been a hallmark of the American dollar since the beginning of the last century. America’s internal and external enemies have been working overtime to destroy the value and stability of the American dollar. Americans are irresponsibly taxed, being penalized for working hard, saving money and investing their hard won dollars for their future. The feds spend money they don’t have to pay people not to work. They spend money they don’t have to reward union bosses for campaign contributions and get out the vote efforts on their behalf. The feds shovel billions of dollars they don’t have to foreign governments that actively work against us. The feds give away more billions they don’t have to so called green energy companies whose contributions to America’s energy grid are essentially worthless. They shovel billions more they don’t have to utterly useless expenditures in their districts to buy votes. They do these things all while lining their pockets at our expense.

Truth, especially in the media. Truth in media effectively died under the Clinton administration. Today’s media now openly lie and make no effort to hide it because they don’t feel they have to anymore. In the same vein the vast majority of our elected leaders feel free from the constraints of truth. Our leaders routinely lie about nearly everything from budget busting bills to the value of massive importations of unskilled and uneducated so called “undocumented immigrants.” So called incorrect views are regularly censored or banned on social media platforms because those views threaten to reveal the lies the social media overlords seek to perpetrate. Nothing proves that truth is under assault more directly than the assertion of “fact” that men can in fact become women and there are 72, 96 or 112 genders.

Family has been one of the bedrock principles of America. A functioning family relieves the government of much of what it seeks to manage for us. A working father who provides for his family ends the need for government financial assistance and the strings that come with it. A mother who stays home and cares for her children eliminates the governments influence through daycare and pre-k programs over those children. A family that goes to church regularly denies the government the thing it desires most, to be the source of all authority in the families lives. A family that cares for it’s members denies the government the ability to link preferred behavior to government benefits. The sense of independence created by this kind of family actively demonstrates the limited value of government in family life.

Culture. America had unarguably the best culture in the world. It only took us some sixty years to go from the Wright brothers to landing a man on the moon and bringing him safely home. In that span of time we became the greatest defenders of liberty in history defeating fascists and socialists in two world wars then rebuilding their countries from the ground up. Using our economic might we brought down the Soviet Union, a nation that existed on little more than base cruelty, murder and intimidation and only survived as long as it did because at crucial times America bailed it out of it’s own failures. America’s was a culture that built, in it’s glory days, radio, movies then television. All three mediums today lack wholesome value of almost any kind. Rock and roll, a distinctly American sound that celebrated freedom of thought and action has been displaced in part by rap, a genre of noise that couldn’t exist if the N word and references to women as “hoes” didn’t exist. We were without equal in history at charitable works and giving to those in need. The American work ethic was unparalleled in the world. We built the Golden Gate bridge, the Empire State building, the Hoover Dam and the Twin Towers. In America anyone could succeed if they worked hard and saved their money. Today those attributes are demeaned. Work is for suckers and opportunity, while it still exists in abundance, is said to be as easily observable as Bigfoot.

Religion. As much as many do not want to know it, America was founded by devoutly religious people who believed God had provided them both inspiration and direction. Our founding fathers declared the Constitution would only work with a “moral and just people.” It is considered the pinnacle of wisdom today to pronounce the founding fathers as atheists and ignore the thousands of references they made to and of God in their lives and life’s works. No one in their right mind claims America was ever perfect but religion gave Americans a moral compass that guided us to make continuous strides in areas like equality, justice and compassion. Belief in God held many a persons lesser nature in check, a clear benefit to all. Americas enemies are slowly replacing God with the religion of human secularism, a belief system that allows you “your truth”, no matter what that may be. There is an old saying that goes, “The greatest trick the Devil ever played was convincing people he didn’t exist.” No truer words have ever been spoken.

As apparently unpopular as these foundational beliefs are among the so called intelligentsia I see little hope for America until they are once again affirmed in both public and private life. Virtually no one trusts the media to be honest today. Virtually no one trusts once vaunted institutions like the Justice Department, the F.B.I. or even the C.D.C. anymore. Today mainline churches deny so called politically incorrect parts of the Bible as if Gods plain words can be ignored without peril. Some churches even hold yearly votes on which parts of scripture to believe in and which parts to pretend don’t exist. So many of today’s political leaders revel in the “rules for thee but not for me” attitude that it is no wonder they are less popular than used car salesmen.

There’s an old saying, “Once you leave home you can never go back” and there is some truth to it. The foundational principles America once held dear are the exception to that old adage.

It’s past time for us to return to the things that made America the lighthouse of the world.

Liberals Lead The Way

(Writers note: Grab a drink and a snack, you may be here awhile)

I am fortunate, or unfortunate depending on your point of view, to be able to spend 2-4 hours a night perusing the news. I often find my self traveling down rabbit holes as I take a deep dive into an event or news story of the day. I read about Oregon’s Governor signing into law a bill that allows children to graduate high school without being able to read, write or do simple math. (I know, technically the law states that students don’t have to prove they can read, write or do math but I’m a practical guy. I consider that a distinction without a difference) This is not just insane it’s child abuse. If children are not in school to learn to read, write and do math, why send them?

I wish I could say I’m surprised but that would be a lie. This merely codifies what thousands of teachers have doing under the radar for the last twenty years. I know this because my brother was one of their victims.

The logical question to ask is why would a supposedly sane public official proudly do something so clearly detrimental to children? The answers, yes there is more than one, are plain to see. You gentle reader must be brave enough to see them. Now that I have teased the point of this piece allow me to give you an example of one of those rabbit hole excursions I mentioned earlier.

I know college graduates that can’t pass this test. I have a sample of only two ( both held Masters Degrees ) but the results were, to be brutally honest, disastrous. If today’s college graduates struggle with this what chance does today’s eighth grader have? His only triumph would be his full knowledge of all 112 genders and how to have sex with them. Surely that will come in handy when tries calculating his interest rate on that “Airline miles card.”

As a parent I was highly involved with my children’s education. What I saw from the outside worried me greatly. As a member of the local PTA (including one year as president) for the last three years of my children’s grade school what I observed from the inside terrified me. Sadly what I saw was not limited to my school. A friend of mine spent thirty years as a school custodian in the school district next to ours. When comparing notes we both agree that today’s grade schools are little more than toxic swamps set up mainly to indoctrinate students into the liberal agenda.

Since you have made it this far allow me to answer the question I teased earlier.

First and foremost, as the “pandemic” proved, teachers openly no longer feel the need to earn their paychecks. I can hear you now, but sailor there are many great teachers out there! How can you say that? I will accept that as a distinct possibility but such a teacher would be in the distinct minority in the two largest school districts in my state and with which I have some knowledge of/experience with. How I can say that is deceptively simple, I don’t listen to what they say I watch what they do. If you think your teachers were so good, take the test above without relying on google, alexa or any other aids. I’ll wait. How did that work out for you? (I can hear you now, “but my teacher was so nice, he/she really cared about me.” That’s nice. How did you score on the test?)

Second. Teachers unions who, at some point in the distant past actually may have served a legitimate function, now serve only three purposes, democrat fundraising through compulsory dues, consistent dumbing down of students and perpetuation of intense ideological indoctrination centers.

Unions routinely demand we accept less and less from their members while demanding more and more in the way of teacher salaries and administrative overloading. Blatantly terrible teachers cannot be fired or reassigned to non student related positions because of union intimidation, I mean rules.

Many teachers are now openly committed to turning their students into active social justice, environmental justice, restorative justice lackeys. These so called teachers (they are more correctly identified as militant communist agitators) understand that an actual thinking person is their worst enemy. A child who develops the ability to reason can poke more holes in the preaching from their teachers fevered imaginations than said radical teacher can plug. Thus the dumbing down and indoctrination become an insidious form of indoctrinator self defense.

Finally it is becoming clear that a certain amount of teachers, fully supported by their union and the democrats their union funds, are simply grooming children for pedophilia. The “rainbow” agenda having been inserted into the classroom under the rubric of tolerance is clear evidence that children are being set up. Why for example do kindergartners in New York City need to understand the joys of anal sex with each other? According to psychologists children of that age do not have the ability to correctly distinguish fantasy from reality consistently. Why are grade schooler’s taught how to masturbate? Why do numerous school districts encourage and support childhood gender dysphoria, even without parental permission, when the fact is nearly all affected by the condition outgrow it before they graduate high school? The glaring fact is that if little Johnny or Jane is going to spend some “quality time” with an adult he or she doesn’t really need to know the rules for using capitol letters, just how to keep a secret.

Don’t get the impression liberals are one dimensional. Their intellectual flexibility would out perform any Olympic gymnast you could name by a country mile. Consider what they have accomplished with the black family.

At the height of democrat led, implemented and supported Jim Crow era the black nuclear family was the norm. Most black men held jobs while black mothers stayed home and tended to the children. The families were typically Christian and active church attendees. The children grew up knowing they were expected to get an education, work hard and play by the rules. They knew the system wasn’t always fair but they also knew that self destructive behavior was pointless. The black illegitimacy rate was nearly identical to the white illegitimacy rate. Today, after some seventy years of democrat lead government “assistance” the nuclear black family barely exists, the illegitimacy rate consistently hovers around 75%, blacks high school graduation rates are abysmal and the greatest danger facing a black man today is another black man.

In recent history blacks have been led by race hustlers and poverty pimps like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, alleged men whose only skill has been extorting money using race as weapon. Now days they have been partially replaced by devout haters like Ibram X Kendi. Blacks today are taught that they are as oppressed today as they were one hundred and sixty years ago as slaves. They are taught that whites are inherently racist, have no control over their racism and cannot ever be redeemed. Liberals push this nonsense in schools, corporate boardrooms, the government and military through the racist tripe known as Critical Race Theory.

The demand for reparations is alive and well, as if people who had nothing to do with slavery owe something to people who were never slaves.

Defund the police has taken root in the liberal mindset as so called Restorative Justice and no cash bail policies allows criminals free reign on the streets. Soros led DA’s refuse to prosecute anyone of color. Crime in black neighborhoods has skyrocketed, black men kill each other at stunning levels, drug overdose deaths hit all time highs and today’s black leadership calls this the result of white privilege while limousine liberals celebrate all they have done to help the black community. With friends like these, who needs enemies?

If you really want to understand how blacks feel about themselves after generations of this abuse by liberals simply listen to the tragic and often sick lyrics of the garbage called rap music.

As a first generation American whose grandfather fought in WWII, father fought in Vietnam and served in the US Navy immigration has always been a vital issue to me. The installed Biden administrations unrestricted opening of the southern border is a disaster in the making on a scale never before attempted. Over one million known illegals have been shipped into America. For every one we know about ICE estimates there are 2-3 who managed to sneak past them. That means there are as many as 3 million illegals roaming the country. Who are these people? No one really knows for certain. Of the ones we do know about many are just economic refugees unwilling to fix their own country when they can come here and have virtually everything given to them. Those are bad enough but then there are the gang members, drug dealers, human traffickers, sex traffickers and known criminals such as killers, rapists and pedophiles allowed free reign in your country by democrats. As if that isn’t enough their Covid positivity rate exceeds twenty percent and nearly half have some other form of disease, TB seeming to be the most common. These people are bused and flown, at your expense, all over America in a democrat attempt to alter the electoral map.

Democrat billionaires celebrate illegal immigration as it drives wages down drastically. The economy contracts because people have less money to spend. With the Biden administrations support cartels make millions of dollars a day smuggling people and drugs into America and setting up criminal organizations in dozens of major American cities.

Killing pipelines like Keystone, canceling oil and gas leases on public lands and insisting on so called green energy forces America to send billions of dollars to terrorist governments in the middle east who wish to destroy us. States are banning internal combustion engines in a failed effort to solve a non existent problem. Global warming – climate change is little more than the ravings of liberals fevered imaginations. Can you say thirty years of failed predictions? Yet Californians regularly experience black/brown outs while spending billions to build a high speed electric train to nowhere. Everywhere wind and solar are tried they come up woefully short. Rampant environmentalism prohibits responsible forest management, fueling massive forest fires that release copious amounts of the dreaded Co2. States convert their fleets to electric cars. These are the cars that use toxic batteries that cannot be recycled, whose components are environmentally irresponsibly mined using forced child and slave labor. Go ahead, virtue signal with your Tesla, Elon Musk needs another government subsidy.

Millions of Americans willingly kneel at the alter of Covid. Despite having a 99.9973% survival rate ( ages 0 – 40 with no underlying co-morbidities ) and in the face of at least 47 studies showing masks do not work our so called leaders endlessly browbeat us into getting vaccinations that have limited ability to protect and, using data from Israel ( one of the most highly vaccinated countries in the world ), may actually be counter productive. Highly effective drugs like Ivermectin and Hydroxycloriquin are ignored, misrepresented or outright lied about because they are cheap and when used correctly ( according to Central African data ), both safe and effective. Vaccine passports, masks, hotlines to squeal on non compliant friends, family and neighbors and social distancing are little more than social control measures. This is easily proven when pot shops and liquor stores are declared essential businesses and cannot be closed but your church is shut down. The end result of the democrat/Fauci regimen can be seen in the once free state of Australia where you can now be imprisoned for not wearing a mask and soon may have all healthcare denied if you have not been vaccinated. These are components of liberals wet dreams.

Looking overseas is equally troubling. Afghanistan may have dealt the new Axis Powers ( Russia, China, Iran and North Korea) a winning hand by virtually destroying NATO. If nothing else our allies have been blatantly shown how America will now treat it’s best friends. It took the Prime Minister of England over 40 hours to get a hold of Biden. Afghanistan was abandoned in the middle of the night while Biden negotiated with cave dwelling murderers and pedophiles to allow them to take over the country, gave them $85 billion in modern weapons to use against us and gave the butchers of women and children a list of everyone that helped us so they and their families could be hunted down and murdered.

Russia now that it’s pipeline into Europe has been given the Biden okay, will soon be able to economically strangle it’s opposition, otherwise known as our allies. Even now Russia is planning the conquest of Ukraine. Similarly, China sees the highest probability in years that it’s invasion of Taiwan can proceed uninterrupted by Americas promises to defend the island nation. Israel will face renewed terrorism with the modern weapons we gave the Taliban.

In plain English tens of millions are likely to be enslaved or murdered while America’s military seeks to master the use of correct pronouns and liberals congratulate themselves on their virtue signaling skills.

In all of these areas and so many more liberals proudly lead the way. Safely ensconced in their comfortable ideological bubbles no truth will interrupt their delusions of just how wonderful they are.

We are one economic event away from literally destroying the already limited value of the U.S. Dollar yet the liberals running the government continue to print and spend money as if there can never be any consequences for doing so.

The media, self described as 97% plus liberal, at nearly all levels is complicit. They seem to do little more than push democratic talking points as if that is real news. Lately many news outlets have reduced themselves to blatantly lying. When called out on their lies they literally do nothing about it except attack and bully the person calling them out.

The sad truth is that no liberal can ever be trusted with any kind of power, even down to the level of dog catcher. Over sixty years of evidence proves they are immune to facts, comfortable lying to you, incapable of applying reality to their proposals, gleefully enrich themselves at our expense, are determined to manage every aspect of our lives, revel in the adoration of those they enslave through dependence on government and are ever in search of absolute power.

Many of my friends and family call liberals stupid. Maybe they are.

As my grandfather once said, “Stupidity at that level doesn’t exist naturally, it must be chosen.”

I agree.

Can we quit being stupid now?
