Vigilance is necessary this time around to insure a free and fair election and to keep the cement of fundamental transformation from hardening into unbreakable rock.
It should be painfully obvious to everyone by now that we are living in the fast-hardening cement of what Barack Obama promised to wildly cheering crowds on the campaign trail in 2008—”a fundamental transformation of America.”
Anyone who can remember back to the decades before the Obama presidency will recall a country committed to fairness and common sense: judging a person based on the content of their character rather than the color of their skin; welcoming a person who came lawfully into this country who applied for citizenship through traditionally prescribed means; never giving a second thought about girls’ and women’s sports being reserved only for a person born female and without a speck of steroids, let alone testosterone, in their bodies; expecting that immensely immature men dressed as fat-slob, over-face-painted, faux women would remain hidden inside “special” bars and clubs and not held up as twerking examples to kindergarten children; acknowledging unequivocally that Marxism was a bad idea and not a glorified ideal; realizing that only a tyrant would actually jail their political opponents for simply questioning highly-suspicious presidential election results; and, generally, in a more fair-minded time: no one even considered ever gleefully calling “evil good and good evil.”
This, of course, is but a very short list of the slop that is being shoveled on a daily basis down the throats of ordinary, common-sense Americans. (We will leave it to the reader to shout out a few dozen more.)
All of this slow-boiling of the pot, with the American-citizen frog paddling lethargically within, began with the nomination of Barack Obama.
People so desperately wanted what Obama was peddling, “Hope and Change,” that they inserted into that second word whatever it was their hearts desired most. And certainly the color of the man’s skin was the huge selling point. Sure, the candidate had no track record, and, let’s face it, had he been white, Hillary Clinton would have been the Democrats’ candidate that election season. But the biracial aspect was seen, perhaps even symbolically, as a way of finally unifying this country after so much racial tension throughout the previous decades.
Many conservatives like to push back on the charge that America is “systemically racist” by pointing to the 2008 election. The basis of their argument: “Would a racist nation vote a black man into office?”
However, isn’t it more accurate to say that voting for someone based on their skin color is also racist? Racism goes both ways. That’s why anyone who says that Blacks cannot be racist is making a racist statement.
“It’s not about skin,” a friend once told me, “it’s about sin.”
The Bible puts it this way: “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” It doesn’t matter who you are; some have a penchant to steal, some to cheat, some to lie, some to murder, and some to treat others in a derogatory way. And, of course, so many of us are pretty good at choosing from time to time a smorgasbord of most everything (and then some) on that list.
So, where does all this leave us?
Except for the bump in the road after the Obama presidency that the left was not anticipating (i.e., the Trump presidency), in a few short years we have fallen as far as Bedford Falls of “It’s a Wonderful Life” had descended into Pottersville. The United States has been transformed into Obamasville.
The hour is late, no doubt, and that pot is on the verge of boiling over. This election will decide.
And if, as some pundits are beginning to believe, the Democrats’ standard-bearer suddenly turns out to be yet another Obama, with the added twist of possibly becoming the history-making First Woman U.S. President—well, let’s just hope there are enough common-sense citizens who would not do something “systemically sexist” by voting for her.

“Bill was about $90, but the EBT card price was around $60.”
I’ve never heard of that and don’t understand how it could even work.
Our Rx’s are often delivered the next day or 2 days at a max after we request a refill.
Now, we often get former rxes, now OTC’s at good if not better prices than Amazon.
It took 10 days to get a special eye appt to get Rxes for some special driving glasses.
It took another 10 days to get a special vision test to enable me to read big books with small print while sitting in my Lazy Boy.
We have friends, who are not patients of our hmo and they seem locked in for phone appts. for serious problems.
A church lady at our church is still an active RN, and she encourages these people to get real appts. not just phone B$.
This surge of phone appts. seems to be happening across America in our post Covid world for those of us in our late 70’s to our 80’s.
Your grocery store gives you the EBT price, in addition to what YOUR regular price is?
Ours doesn’t do that.
What I can see, is if the person in front of me, or, over in next aisle is using EBT, as it shows up on the cashier’s register screen (which is good sized).
This is the first time I’ve seen that. It was in the self-checkout line.
I looked it up and apparently some items have EBT-eligible discounts (I think mostly staples like veggies, milk, etc.)
First time I’ve ever seen it at the checkout.
Well....at least your grocer is showing the difference in prices .... one for thee, one for THEM .... I wonder if they realize they’re doing this.
Will have to pay closer attention in my store’s self check out line.
The result of medicine and medication being corporatized. Corporations primary function is to maximize profits for investers.
Why does it take longer to get an appointment? Because there are more patients? As to care being more expensive, what isn’t more expensive than 14 years ago?
I see placards for the WIC program but have never seen discounts for SNAP (in my state).
Next time I’m going to take a picture of the check-out screen.

That America has been gone for at least 20 years already. If the Left gets away with stealing 2024 (and chances are they will), we'll all be lucky not to be J6'd. And even if Trump somehow manages to beat the steal-- then what? Who's waiting in the wings?

Biden’s strategy is very simple:
1. Get as many illegals in the country as possible.
2. Legalize them to create a permanent majority – a one-party state.
That is why they are encouraging so much illegal immigration. Simple, yet effective!
