Who Is Steering the Ship?

Let me see if I get this straight. Biden has now been in office 59 days. North Korea blocked all of Biden’s phone calls and is preparing to test new missiles. Russia pulled their ambassador from the U.S. and challenged Biden to a duel of words behind the gym, on live pay per for view TV, right after lunch. Turkey just threw some shade at Joe and called him unpresidential. 14,000 young poor kids at the borders are now detained in cages, like animals hidden from our crack media and their prying eyes. Everyone in South American is now packing their bags and heading to America for free stuff, a better life and a chance to vote Democratic. Washington is now bubble wrapped with razor wire and armed soldiers. Our feeble president, who garnered 80 million votes can’t even navigate the stairs of Air Force One on a windy day. What happened to our country?

Biden is what happened to our country. Buyers remorse is a pallor that now smothers most of the United States. Who exactly is running the country? Joe thinks that he is skiing in Switzerland. Harris, dressed in black and hovering menacingly over Joe, looks really creepy. So who is running the country? Please, we want to know. The mainstream media apparently doesn’t care or is too afraid to find out. They are too busy talking ad nauseam about Cuomo, Markle, Newsom and things that just don’t matter anymore.

Foreign leaders are paying attention. They are starting to realize that the USS America has no one at the helm and the rudderless ship is heading full speed into the path of a massive iceberg. I think that they miss Trump. Love him or hate him, he was a strong leader who was respected throughout the world. Trump was a known quantity who always on the bridge, day and night, steering the ship of state.

I always remember touring the Battleship North Carolina. One thing that I observed was a small watertight room, located deep down in the bowels of the ship. During battle, this room served as a “last ditch” means for a helmsman to steer the ship if the bridge of the ship had been destroyed. It was really a tomb but at least someone could steer the ship when all seemed lost.

Who is steering the USS America?

It’s still tied up at the dock and the Democrats are stripping everything off it.

Putin says he’ll beat Biden to a pulp after he trains w/ 5-6 bears in Russian’s wild boreal forest.

Shucks, why cant Biden be more like Putin?
<><> wouldnt you like to see a shirtless Biden wrestling alligators in the Everglades swamp?
<><> Biden needs to ride a saddle-less horse, bare chested, at steeplechase speed,
<><> I’d like to see Biden in Spandex take a dip in an icy Alaskan lake,
<><> why doesn’t Biden show us his Olympic-grade weight-lifting moves?
<><> Biden should do some shadow-boxing w/ a Joe Louis type prize fighter,
<><> okay, maybe something easier .... play hopscotch w/ daycare kids?

We need to build a new ship.

Snapshot of what our Founding Fathers did - updated for the current situation:

The path to freedom, if we must, is first thru the establishment of a new ship of state - by way of forming a new, the Third Continental Congress.

- - -

Reason:

At all times, even in revolution, the construction of our forefathers’ efforts was to ensure lawful process and exercise authority under the rule of law. For example, contrary to the hysteria perpetrated in the “liberal press,” about the militia, the colonial militia were at all times answerable to civilian authority, in a chain of command reaching down from the Continental Congress and down from the Provincial Congresses of the colonies, often times through what were called Committees of Safety.

There is much in our American Heritage, in which we must seek to know and understand the construction of our country and Constitution, so that where we are going, we will ensure that we do so by a lawful process, and always keep upon the path toward our principle objectives: to restore our Constitution and rule of law over government ... instead of embarking upon a sea of rage because of our current unhappiness.

It will take all of our self-discipline, to not wander from the path. The secret of George Washington’s success, according to him, when asked by a correspondent, after the President’s retirement from public office, was this: “...the straight line.”

- - -

Reason:

Sir Winston Churchill, upon the occasion of a visit to an American university after World War II, and feeling the infirmities of his age, was asked to give a speech; but he had to wait out a lengthy introduction.

At the end of this praise, Churchill stood up and approached the podium; and then said, no more than, “Never, never, never, never quit.”

- - -

Reason:

You must not let go of our democratic-republic [principles]. You must not be “rattled.”

The Founding Fathers and Framers set up a structure for a government in waiting, the Continental Congress. During that decade prior to Lexington and Concord, the colonialists absorbed the principles of law, some of which were discussed in the “letters of correspondence.” There is much that the people knew -— enough people -— which is what will be needed if we are to win.

- - -

Reason:

Edmund Burke said, in his March 22, 1775 “Speech on Conciliation With America”:

Permit me, Sir, to add another circumstance in our colonies, which contributes no mean part towards the growth and effect of this untractable spirit. I mean their education. In no country perhaps in the world is the law so general a study...

This study renders men acute, inquisitive, dexterous, prompt in attack, ready in defence, full of resources. In other countries, the people, more simple and of a less mercurial cast, judge of an ill principle in government only by an actual grievance; here they anticipate the evil, and judge of the pressure of the grievance by the badness of the principle. They augur misgovernment at a distance; and snuff the approach of tyranny in every tainted breeze.

- - -

The new ship:

The Third Continental Congress

To consist of 2 representatives from each state.

Those 2 (per state) are chosen by the RED CONSERVATIVE COUNTIES of their respective states.

The RED Conservative counties of each state, to have themselves chosen 2 representative - who convene with the other sets of 2 representives at the state level.

*That* state level convention for the purpose of choosing the 2 representives, who then proceed to the meeting of the Third Continental Congress.

Putin challenged Biden to a duel behind the gym.

Biden declined. Then Jill stepped up.......said if Joe finished making lunches for
border-jumpers on bus rides to red states bordering Canada, she'd take on Putin.

You wish the ship of state was still tied up at dock, and subject only to petty pilferage.

Oh, the ship got launched, all right, it was put out to sea, then set on automatic pilot, steering a preset course, right into the heart of an unprecedented perfect storm of virtual stoppage of most significant economic activity, towering new debt added at a most inopportune moment, an artificial fear of a “pandemic” ginned up and reported in the most alarming manner possible, re-institution of onerous regulation, and proposal of a tax burden that promises penury for years to come.

It was once remarked, that God watches out for drunks, fools, children and the United States. The United States may not be under that divine protection much longer.

They didn’t. Democrats are the house and all the slot machines, roulette wheels, dice, tables etc are “fixed” in favor of the house.

There is then, a supreme irony, that I have been flying a pirate flag since Nov. 4.

Harris, dressed in black and hovering menacingly over Joe, looks really creepy.

Her hovering over his shoulder in the background reminds me of a crow on the side of a road waiting for a road kill opportunity.

Does Biden even know what a ship is any more? Maybe we should give him the same cognitive test Trump took. I doubt he would pass.
