And bless you, linMcHlp. Always enjoy having discourse with a reasoned person...especially when I am not feeling inclined to reason!

You bet. Thanks for reading. I understandably get a good number of TL/DR responses, but...I cannot change at this stage of my life!

Yes. I like the way you said that, because we damn well need to disrupt them. Otherwise, like an underground fire in a seam of coal, they will surface again to begin expressing their evil when people are unprepared.

Verily. Power is their god, and they worship it with zeal.

Yep. To them, government IS power, and yes...they worship it and always covet to control it with their rat-claws!

the waters of their tyranny, treason, sedition, illegality, hate, and deception

AKA "The Swamp" AKA "The Deep State". We're great at metaphors but somewhat lacking in clarity.

What are all these things? Just "the enemy"? What's that? Anyone who disagrees with us?

No, our enemy is well-defined, huge, and yet able to somehow hide.

Our enemy is nothing less than the 80%, $3+ trillion UNCONSTITUTIONAL federal gov't that is the greatest threat to our lives, liberties, and well being.

To recover our Free Constitutional Republic, we MUST ELIMINATE the unconstitutional portion of the feds much of which is the illegal and odious "Regulatory State" which employs MILLIONS, ALL of which MUST GO.

Trump is a start, but we need non-politician warriors in 2028 to extend and expand MAGA until the Constitution is reinstated as the Supreme Law of Land and the Feds are once again chained to the limitations of the Constitution.

The only one I see like that on the horizon is Vivek who should have been appointed as Trump's VP as Trump's VP will be the presidential frontrunner in 2028.

May God help us.

Yes. I am listening to his Inaugural Address. Many people say the things he said while running were just campaign rhetoric, but...it sure doesn’t sound that way to me.

I heard part of his speech: no “bipartisan can’t we all get along” bullcrap. Not a single concession on anything.

Sometimes when you use the Speedreader function of your browser to bypass a paywall the entire article doesn’t show up when the page opens. If you hit the reload icon the rest of it will show up on the refresh. I just opened the page in Speedreader and the same to two paragraphs showed up, but when I hit reload the entire article showed up.
