Too many people think that sitting and fretting is doing something, but there is so much more most of us can do. Here's some inspiration for you.
America First Patriots must be involved and active if we are going to save our country from a loud minority that seeks to move the United States toward Marxism. “Active” means more than posting comments on Facebook, X, or Truth Social. It’s picking a course of action, getting off your tuchas, and doing something. Anything!
There are numerous ways Patriots can help to keep the United States a constitutional republic. Here are four examples of people who saw a problem and decided to do something:
MORALE BOOSTERS: Overall, many Democrats do not hold law enforcement officers (LEOs) in high regard. Whenever there’s an incident and often without knowing all the facts, they blame the police. Whether it’s in a city overwhelmed by rampant crime or a border state smothered by the endless invasion of illegal aliens, the Al Sharptons and AOCs of the world ignorantly assume the person with the badge is the bad guy.
In 2015, as Barack Obama was closing out his second disastrous term, Tom Langan and his wife Diane decided they would do something to offset the immense hate being directed at LEOs by leftist extremists. They founded Morale Boosters, which does exactly what its name implies.
For the next three years, Tom and Diane visited police officers and sheriff deputies to let them know there are many Americans who support them and their efforts. The simple gesture of delivering snacks, light pens, handwritten thank-you cards, and other encouraging items (like banners signed by Americans who wanted to express their appreciation) means a lot to those who risk their lives every day to serve and protect.

Some interesting ideas. I am sure FR readers have others to add.
Quietly biding my time. Hopefully we have a return to President Trump in the White House. If there’s shenanigans, well we shall see what’ll happen.
I think though the only end game CONgress and diaper boy have is a declared war with election suspension or/and an assasination of Trump. The latter will cause massive chaos in this country.
The most important thing: Election integrity. They screwed us in 2020 and 2022. Does anyone think they aren’t going to try the same in 2024? Paper ballots and voter ID!!!
We can find alternatives to the woke companies that are constantly working against us, even if it means giving up on some convenience.
I know we can't boycott them 100% of the time, but that's in large part because we didn't make our money count when we had a chance to stop this. If we try hard enough though, we might be able to make an impact.
I'm sorry if you're disappointed that my solution doesn't include shooting things up or CWII, but it's something we can all do right now.
I agree with your idea, but how do we get that done when we have one side of the government actively using fraud, and the other side caving every chance they get (and that's giving them the benefit of the doubt)?
There needs to be a conservative group that goes after corporations, the same way the left does.
What is the conservative equivalent to Media Matters or the Southern Poverty Law Center?
There are so many filthy scumbag leftwing non-profits, example Amnesty International (which is an extreme homosexual agenda front) or the Red Cross and United Way charities that support Marxist policies.
My solution is to stockpile on ammo for when the collapse comes or when Trump calls on the unorganized militia into action.
Watching the Democrats and Republicans fight over the budget is like watching two drunks fight over the bar bill on the Titanic! Our self-righteous, self-serving Congressional representatives have been sitting, like bumps on a pickle, as time runs out on a funding bill. MAGA Mike Johnson had vowed not to take up another short-term extension, but backtracked as the first shutdown deadline in January neared.
The continuing resolution funding the government runs out Friday at 11:59 p.m. So far, the spending limits Republicans and Democrats agreed to, a week or so ago, have not translated into bills for full 2024 appropriations. That means neither a long-term continuing resolution nor a shutdown is off the table. Will they kick the can to March, or a partial government shutdown? Will we borrow more money? Our National Debt (MONEY WE OWE) HAS HIT $34 trillion ($34,000,000,000,000). Every American taxpayer owes $264,000 at this time. The government shutdown might be a blessing; it could cool off the spending machine that’s been running 24/7.
It is expected that we will borrow another trillion by the end of March. At the end of 2022, the national debt was $31.42 trillion, and the INTEREST paid the last quarter of 2022 was $213 billion. We are digging a financial grave for America. Look at the National Debt Clock; it’s breathtaking.
“NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN TO COME TO THE AID OF THEIR COUNTRY!” HOW?
Bombard your House and Senate representatives with phone calls, letters, emails and visits, let them know that they are working for you!
For the House members. you may call 202-225-3121 or go tohttp://www.house.govto find your Representative and their home office or Washington DC office phone number. For Senate members, you may call 202-224-3121 or go to http://www.senate.govto find your Senator and their home office or Washington DC office phone number.
LET’S STOP THE INSANITY!! LET’S STOP THE SPENDING!!
Bkmk
The most important thing is immigration. If we don’t toss out every illegal, they will win all elections legitimately.
Demographics is destiny.
“Operation Whitey” - Force white people to spend inordinately on social programs, while flooding his societies with nonwhites, who will vote against whitey, and use demographics to eliminate him.
Good article and good ideas.
I think the thing that has people so jaded and reluctant to help is the number of scams and scam artists out there. People want to help those TRULY in need, who need the help up and not just a hand out to enable them.
Yep, and so many here are blind. People more concerned about Ukraine, Israel, Yemen, Taiwan, etc.
Oh well, I can always move into the woods…
I work at the polls, and regularly do some volunteer work related to non-political civic affairs.
I’m too small to go to protests, demonstrations, or even parades. Everybody hits me and apologizes for not seeing me, and then they won’t leave me alone.
At least at the polls I’m in a chair behind a table with sturdy conservative old ladies on both sides.
I'm doing something like that every day, sometimes all day, but it doesn't feel like it's going to achieve any political end. My neighbors are mostly elderly and they don't drive or they don't like to, so I shop or take them to doctors or church or whatever they need. You can learn a lot listening to an old person riffing in the passenger seat. I'm also on call when they have a tough time reading, finding things, computer issues. So I have about two dozen unofficial grandparents. :) It won't change the world.
Btt
Those who show up win!
Good on you!
It won't change the world.
It does for those you are helping.
The #1 scammer being the Republican Party. Conservatives are tired of seeing their money and effort wasted on candidates who inevitably transform into Neocon RINOs as soon as they get to DC and come under pressure from the system.
The correct path seems to be to bring back social shaming of progressive excesses. In the short run, doing this will inevitably lead to people like Trump becoming victims of Alinsky-ite tactics. But when enough charismatic people can consistently make the case that attempting to live at society's expense is shameful and unworthy behavior, we can begin to chip away at the Left's dominance. There can't be demand for conservatism in a society that doesn't even understand why certain traditions should be conserved.
The kids today aren't so much Marxist as completely uninformed - it's amazing how many things they don't know that we took for granted growing up.
Absolutely. All of these articles we're seeing about how Democrats are terrified of losing in November is one huge deep fake. They're not scared in the least. They'll slow-walk the count for a week until enough cheat-by-mail-ins are produced to put the Democrat ahead. And it won't matter that there will be several states with 120% of people who voted. Lower court hack judges will refuse to allow any audit of signature based on that. The cases will be mired in the lower courts for years. The Lamestream media will be silent and once again harp about "no evidence" of cheating.
The only hope (and it is a slim one) is that SCOTUS will fast-track Trump's and Lake's election challenges and make rulings about enforcement of signature verification in AZ and compel the audit of the fake mail-ins in GA and make a favorable ruling that will establish a precedent. So when (not if) the bastards cheat again, the court cases will be forced to be resolved quickly due to the precedent established. This is all we have to hang our hats on.
And this is why everyone is so frustrated. Only the state legislatures have the power over election integrity, but the ones with RINOs in control allowed Democrats to cheat because they wanted Trump out.
Mississippi returned to paper ballots last year and has voter ID. It’s a start, but we need more states to implement the same process.
One could sign up to be a poll worker, working the poll helps bring “some” integrity as it also depends on the other workers integrity and motives.
