We are a nation captured from within. We are, in essence, taken over by America's Taliban, the communists, a small group of aggressive and angry people opposed to every freedom, every ounce of liberty once held in such reverence in America. With bluster and violence, they achieve their goals, because, those of us who believe in the republic, in the rule of law, in the sanctity of elections, are, like the Afghan soldiers, melting before the onslaught.
Consider for a moment that under this regime, believing in the Constitution, individual rights and claiming to be a patriot, is, according to the Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, on equal footing with a domestic terrorist. Refusing a possibly lethal injection of unknown (trade secret ingredients) substances and questioning the 2020 election makes one suspected of being a domestic terrorist, despite the fact that no arms have been raised, no threats made, just questions asked. These are their actions and they have consequences. They are identifying curiosity, healthy suspicion as enemies of the republic.
The government has drifted so far into communism, it does not question, its own actions. Not even Republican representatives and senators raise their voices in opposition to the idea that one claiming to be a patriot, who believes in the very structure of said government is antigovernment. But those who violate the Constitution, individual rights clearly enumerated, throw off responsibility to ensure the sanctity of elections and borders, are what then? Patriots?
It’s truly distressing to see the twenty-year commitment to Afghanistan fail after so many had given their lives to oust the Taliban. It is more distressing to see my countrymen and women shirk off their duty to the Constitution and Bill of Rights, the assault on which picked up speed at the same time our military forces engaged the Taliban. It’s distressing that so clear a correlation can be made between the Taliban and our own government.
My previous post, American Army, explained that we’re the only ones left to fight; all others have been co-opted or corrupted. None of them, not those in government, courts or military believe in America, except as a totalitarian state bent on forcing the people to obey dictates and commands. Where in their ideology is the ability of the individual to exert their rights against the will of the government? It’s non-existent. That is diametrically opposed to almost every word in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
The government was created to do only a few things, secure the borders, defend the people, act to resolve disputes among the states, represent those states before the world as a single voice. It was given the power to do that and little else. It TOOK every other responsibility, for energy, school, health, and destroyed them as government typically does. Due to the constitutional nature of the Tenth Amendment and the duty of the legislators, it left elections to the states to run according to their common practices. Look at what it does now. It taxes, it forces, it leverages, it commands and demands, but has totally forsaken its original duties.
The Supreme Court is a joke. Once a great body that inspired respect, if not agreement. It could be wrong and often was. It ruled over slavery without recognizing the impossibility of equality among men and at the same time recognizing blacks as property. It has often been wrong, led more by its determination to guide society than to follow the law. It recoiled from legal positions against slavery, just as it recoiled from hearing cases of voter fraud in 2020, the act of which abdicates itself from all of the crucial questions of the day and establishes a sort of slavery of the majority to the violent and threatening minority. They avoided questions of the 2020 election in order prevent mass violent responses. That's not what a Supreme Court should consider in a ruling and most of them should be impeached for that alone. Cowardice is not an excuse, not in the military, not in the court. Constituted as such, it is wholly unsuited to its role in the republic. It isn’t a backstop to government overreach as it claims. It’s a rubber stamp for all things in tune with communism. It’s made itself irrelevant except to legitimize the destruction of the republic, in effect, itself.

The Communists?
Taliban are religious zealots
Communists are atheist
Taliban are totalitarians who worship allah - the master of deception.
Communists are totalitarians who worship government - the masters of deception.
We aren’t done, but the Republic is. As was accurately reported in the article there is no branch or agency of government that is even slightly governing within the framework of the constitution. It’s beyond debate.
Well, we disagree.
Taliban are religious zealots who impose a theocratic government based on tribes ruled by sharia law
I don’t think we disagree. They are both totalitarian zealots. They both kill unbelievers. They both think that their ideology will take over the world. The excuses for their actions are the only thing that is different.
Biden is naked before the world........exposed as the crass, self-serving, pathological liar stupid Delaware foisted on us.
Listening to him defend his indefensible actions is excruciating........it’s all about HIM.
HE MADE THE RIGHT DECISIONS.
HE is right and don’t dare say otherwise.
As was recently posted.......watching this misbegotten presidency is like watching a toddler with a loaded gun.
Look at the false way that the media portrayed Trump supporters as Nazi’s even when they do this garbage.
It seems repetitive and a bit silly to start calling them Nazis but this is the perfect opportunity to label them as the American Taliban. Taliban Democrats, Taliban Joe...etc.
If we can make this stick it will become his new nickname and seriously undermine his illegal activities as POTUS.
Simple messaging like this can do what thousands of arguments and debates can not.
True. The cowardice of not taking a single press question after his statement speaks VOLUMES.
Trump faced his critics with courage, conviction, and truth.
With Xiden, I predict more international trouble. The Xiden administration has create a vacuum in world power.
And in the near future, Xiden’s and Hunter’s power of extortion of foreign nations will diminish the Xiden family non-charitable slush fund.
Maybe that will cause Xiden to react and use American military power in the wrong place at the wrong time.
It’s a very real danger.
