Against the Tide

“These days, when they say something is ‘very unlikely,’ that is wokecabulary for, ‘it’s almost certainly true’.” — Jeff Childers (the Coffee with Covid blog)

So many calamities, quandaries, and mysteries swirl in the zeitgeist these days that life in the USA feels like swimming against a rising tide of poisoned guacamole. Nothing has been able to stop that green spewage from the political Left, especially as it desecrates our very language to turn everything up, down, and everything inside, outside. You end up drowning the consensus about reality under the muck. Now, finally, there are political forces gathering to oppose all this deliberate malice and deceit and they will need something like a fire-hose to clean the joint up.

The outstanding feature of this political illness has been the utter lack of accountability for gross insults against the public interest — that is, things that really matter. As Congresswoman Ilhan Omar once put it so obliquely, “some people did some things.” Yes, people are at the bottom of all this mischief against the country and none of them have had to answer for any of it yet. Will it matter if they do? It may not correct all the disasters of recent past years, but it may prevent more disasters ahead as the nation struggles with epic changes to the business model for running everything in this land. Some people will have to do a lot of things to straighten out our agenda.

Everyone is aware by now that the new Congress is assembling several committees to attempt just that. One is the aptly-named panel on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. That’s an excellent name for it because the officials running the engines of state have carried out a war against the people. It is, after all, supposed to be a government of, by, and for the people, not a government against the people. Where to even start?

Former US attorney and chief-of-staff to the SecDef, Kash Patel, had a good idea: start with the latest insult to the country. Haul in the newly-appointed special counsel assigned to the “Joe Biden” purloined document scandal. His name is Robert Hur. He was a top aide to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein at the height of RussiaGate, and liaison to the Robert Mueller operation. Mr. Hur participated in filing falsified warrants based on Steele Dossier nonsense to the FISA court. He should have been accountable for that. He’s not fit to serve as any sort of legal arbiter in a national scandal....

The one good thing about Wokeism is that it clearly illuminates the mental illness on the left.

You can’t fix Washington DC. You can only shut it down and then start over.

The only way to win is to secede. If war comes then so be it.

Well, I can’t see that happening so what next? I don’t think there would be enough people in any state to agree to secede. I almost wish Florida would but it’s wishful thinking. Since things are progressing the way they are...I see a revolt before seceding.

“I see a revolt before seceding.”
___________________________

It must be a two-pronged effort.

Spiritually, Christians must be prepared and clean in their own lives in order to pray for their families, friends and enemies.

Economically, fathers need to stop sending both sons and daughters to colleges with the exception of it being for medical or STEM related.

Send both the sons and daughters into trade schools, especially if the daughter is all fixated on getting to work outside the home.

This is actually no different than in the early west where the wives and daughters were trained to shot and if farm when needed. Many a man died and the family needed to survive. And both boys and girls drew up pretty fast and survived.

The trade schools teach both sexes about hard and honest work which coincidently makes them much less forgiving of government taking their monies and giving it to welfare frauds and cheats. Once a woman has satisfied herself she’s not missing anything outside the home she will make an excellent helpmate and cannot be fooled by suspect tradesmen. That’s a bonus......

Also, tell the sons to not date, think of dating or even think of having sex with any woman/young lady contemplating going to college, or having gone to college or in collage.

SEX changes how a man can be tricked. Went there, yes, I did.

I need to step away. Get some coffee. Calm down.

You are right. I am a woman and I believe a lot of women should not be in positions of power. Too emotional and ruled by their “feelings”.
