We CANNOT recognize her as the president of the US.

Trump MUST win or we will get our republic back, but the much harder way.

As much as I would hate a Hillary win, I really do view this election as re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

I’ll absorb whatever happens on November 8th. But I’m in my 60’s. If I was young I’d be at my wits end.

We’ve already lost it. Now it’s a question of getting it back.

I will do what’s required to restore the republic. I am praying Americans everywhere will awaken. Again, whatever it takes.

Though it goes back even further, to me the destruction of the Republic was instigated by George W Bush with the USSC decision Gonzales v Raich. So, you can thank a Republican for blowing down the final barriers between centralized federal government and the states.

As Justice Thomas said in dissent -—

If the majority is to be taken seriously, the Federal Government may now regulate quilting bees, clothes drives, and potluck suppers throughout the 50 States. This makes a mockery of Madison’s assurance to the people of New York that the “powers delegated” to the Federal Government are “few and defined”, while those of the States are “numerous and indefinite.”

Now is the time.
Now is the best time.
Now is the best time of your life.
Life is a prize, live every minute.
Open your eyes and watch how you win it.
Yesterday's memories may sparkle and gleam,
tomorrow is still but a dream.
Right here and now,
you've got it made.
The world's forward marching and you're in the parade!

-PJ

Agreed.

The American experiment is an anomaly in the history on mankind. The elites are doing everything they can to destroy Western Civilization and Christianity in order to undercut the values which support our Republic and replace it with a monarchy.

This election is a battle in that war. A very important battle. It is troubling to see so many voting against their interests in this election.

Yes. Probably. Lord willing. All four of my wifes and my parents are still alive. My grandmother died at 105.

It’s why we bought this farm. We have chickens, streams, and may get some livestock...
