Reality is a constant reminder of – what is real. Democrats have lost the con, lost their way, and are just lost. We still hear wild, politically charged, wheel-spinning attacks on President Trump – as he restores individual liberties, shrinks government, deports illegals, hits drug traffickers, stops state-sponsored terror, and speaks up for faith, freedom, our Founders’ genius, and biology. He is right.
John Adams, vice president to George Washington, was another president with spine, often disliked for his resolve, determination, outsized personality, and penchant for action – but he got things done. Our early presidents loved the Constitution; they wrote it. They also loved facts.
Wrote Adams: “Facts are stubborn things…whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” Freedom depends on it.
There is an old Irish saying that “you cannot bolt a door with a boiled carrot.” Likewise, freedom comes to those who dare it. The courage to act on facts, swing the axe, fell the tree, keeps us free.
Every true lawyer, every math teacher, scientist, biologist, astronomer, logger, lobsterman, soldier, mariner, medical doctor, homebuilder, and police officer knows this. Facts do not change.
Put differently, “free speech” cannot be lawfully cancelled, “free exercise” of faith not lawfully restricted. The square root of nine is always three, H20 always water, and XX chromosomes are always female. The “Hubble constant” (expanding universe), gravity, and electromagnetism do not change.
Likewise, trees cut by loggers never fall upwards or magically drag themselves from the woods. Lobstermen cannot harvest without a boat; they cannot walk the ocean floor every other Thursday.
Fake ideas break down. National security without gritty soldiers is no security. Unanchored boats never drift against the tide. X-rays do not tell us how to fix a broken soul or addicted child. Homes are not roofed with foundations, and police not funded, authorized and motivated cannot police.
Yet in this strange, upside-down world, Democrat leaders think facts do not matter. Spoiler alert: They do, always do. Facts and outcomes must guide policy; they are the only way to good government.
You cannot subsidize uneconomical, low-capacity forms of energy – like solar with little sun, wind with little wind – and expect energy costs to fall, even chanting “green, green, oil is mean.”
You cannot promote home ownership where the median monthly income is $200 below the median monthly rent, and where “shop” or Industrial Arts (trades) is from high schools. Does not work.
You cannot push Soros-style pro-drug abuse policies – needle giveaways, down-funding of police, claims of racism, cashless bail, no consequences for felonies – and expect drug trafficking, drug-related crimes (burglary, robbery, assaults), addiction, homelessness, and overdoses to go down.
You cannot promote lawlessness, penalize cooperation between law enforcement groups, create “sanctuary states” to shelter lawbreakers, allow mass public corruption, oppose immigration enforcement, open national borders, ignore U.S. Supreme Court defense of girls and Title IX, forget the First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments, and imagine…you will get a lawful society.
You cannot allow public officials – whether federal or a governor, attorney general, secretary of state, bureaucrat, or Democrat legislator – to violate laws, twisting them to their advantage, giving themselves taxpayer money, signing inside contracts, and covering it up – without loss of trust.
Facts matter for accountable government. They are the check on power. Stubbornly, the sun rises in the east, keeping western mountains honest. Marxists cannot change that. False narratives and power grabs fail when doused in light. Trump knows it. We do. Democrats need reminding.

A psychotic break occurs when a person loses touch with reality. Today we call them DemocRATs.
‘You are free to ignore reality. But, you are not free to ignore the consequences of ignoring reality’. A. Rand
Tell that to the DU trolls hanging around here, lol.
Meanies, racists, oppressors and cis genders better grow some thick skin and shout their facts louder in the public square or the stoned and confused mob wins the day.
This is true.
But facts and their obvious consequences can be: ignored, misrepresented, facts can be omitted or sequestered (sorry thats classified), some facts change with time and old facts can be stated as being current to alter expected consequences.
People that are exceptionally good at the use of these techniques have been referred to as 'Spin Doctors'.
But they still get elected in great numbers to important public office and threaten to win a House majority next year. Psychotic Democrats and ignorant voters is a terrible combination.

The Democratic Party has devolved into an institution that incorporates bizarre values and is the antithesis to the very essence of America’s heritage. It is the party of neo pagan, hedonistic decadence. If the American nation is to survive American voters must come to realize that any vote for any Democrat anywhere, anytime is a vote to destroy the American nation.
.
One good example is Jasmine Crockett’s statement about Lee Zeldin, Mitt Romney, John McCain, and Sarah Palin taking political donations from Jeffery Epstein. When confronted with the facts that those donations were from a physician and a beverage distributor, her response was: “I never said it was that Jeffrey Epstein”.
In other words, it’s okay to lie and deceive people if it squares with your political agenda.
“threaten to win a House majority next year”
Corrective legislation should have been passed before Trump was sworn in and signed into law by him within an hour after inauguration.
