When Both Our Cars Collide

Posted on by

That which cannot go on, will not go on. But when does that allegedly inevitable tipping point occur?

When both of our cars collide.

There is much gnashing of teeth and rending of garments on the Professional Right. Trump, with all of his baggage and flaws on one side,and the republican party’s Trump-lite…Ron DeSantis, with all of his unknown baggage and flaws on the other.  The former wanting, needing, revenge. The latter representing a desperate desire to return to a normalcy and a status quo that no longer exists.

The Left? United like The Borg. Much talk about Biden/Harris running again, and whether Michelle Obama will insert herself at the last minute after forgoing debates. Will Biden croak, step aside, or be removed?  Does it matter? With mail in balloting and state-legislature approved fraud in place? With leftist voters willing to vote for the literal dead and mentally deficient, as long as there is a “D” next to their name?

 

The truth is that the very battle that the sleeping masses now care about has already been waged, and lost. Culture, Media, Entertainment, and most importantly, the very foundations and pillars of all bureaucracy and government, have been overtaken.  A deep and aggressive rot permeates all. What is the cure for an organism so overtaken? Is there one? The think tanks and their white papers have failed. Now they loot the treasury of a rotting republic, one that they hurried along.

I would like to think, I hope and pray actually, that there is a way out in a conventional sense. That sanity overcomes those whom have led us to this place, that grace and wisdom are suddenly gifted to them. But those are empty wishes, and words that fall on deaf ears. Face it, you can feel it. A deep wrongness has quickly seeped into everything like an evil fog, and its coming for you whether you attempt to shelter from it or not. Be honest,  hasn’t it touched you already?

A collision is coming. Like cars running in opposite directions, two opposite ideologies are careening helplessly out of control at full speed, right at each other. One seeking in fanatical fashion to destroy, and the other desperately attempting to avert that destruction.

Buckle up, it’s going to be a hell of a crash.

The New Confederacy

  The Republic of The United States is embroiled in a cold civil war. As much as I wish it weren’t so, there can be no doubt about it.. From politics to culture, entertainment to information, the forces of tyranny abound. They are unrelenting, unforgiving, and most importantly, unopposed.

Benjamin Franklin understood the analogy of the Timber Rattlesnake, native to America, saying: “She never begins an attack, not, when once engaged, ever surrenders…she appears to be a most defenseless animal; and even when those weapons are shown and extended for her defense, they appear weak and contemptible; but their wounds however small, are decisive and fatal: Conscious of this, she never wounds till she has generously given notice, even to her enemy, and cautioned against the danger of stepping on her.” – B. Franklin 

I have not commented on the current state of “impeachment”, because that is not what is taking place. Impeachment is reserved for “high crimes and misdemeanors”, yet none of those have occurred. No criminal charge, for the first time in U.S. presidential history, has been alleged nor charged, only partisan and naked corruption of The Constitution by a single political party…that holds one half of one house of Congress by a slim majority. Some call it a legitimate process…yet they are not backed by history, law, or circumstance.

No, what we are seeing and experiencing is the collapse of what better men ( they were men, get over it ) organized and gifted to us. Namely, freedom and liberty as has never been before recognized, enshrined, and guaranteed by any nation. Their only failure was to place a level of trust in the populace that is not deserved in modern times. They never could have imagined that the new experiment in freedom they had created would be so taken for granted…or in fact, so despised and undermined.

The reason so many have lost sight of the true nature of what America represents is simple: stupidity, laziness, ignorance, and arrogance. The populace has been dumbed down, watered down with unassimilated persons, and made entitled, without reverence for the simple truth of what The Founders put into writing. And what is that, you ask?

That our rights are natural ones. Let me explain, for the ignorant among us, what that means. The rights listed by The Constitution and Bill of Rights are not granted by men or by government, they are instead recognized by those documents as being given by God, or for the agnostics and atheists…Nature. Rights given by men and governments may be modified, regulated, or simply taken away. Rights that you are born with cannot. Many people are simply too stupid or too arrogant to understand that concept. The reason why we must not accept infringement of these natural rights is an easy one to understand…no man/woman can legislate away, nor seek to undermine and regulate, the rights granted by natural law, and any effort to do so must be met with righteous force.

Meet the Democrats

The blackfaced or Klan-robed, and typically corrupt, governor of Virginia, Ralph Northam, has engaged his 5 seat party majority to attempt to overwrite the natural laws of his citizens. Namely, the right to bear arms as recognized by the 2nd amendment. An amendment with the sole purpose of guaranteeing citizens the right to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. Over 22,000 people of all creeds and colors ( more than the total attendees of the pussy-hat wearing Women’s March of yesteryear in Washington, DC may I add ) showed up to object to his and his party’s nullification attempts, and thankfully no insurrection or violence occurred. However, regardless of the show of support for constitutional rights, Virginia has still drafted its  laws that violate the Bill of Rights. Will the next rally of support go differently? Only time will tell.

The confederates in government have much more to do, though. They have impeached an elected and successful president, with no thought to the consequences. Those whom we have placed our trust in to defend that office, the Republican party, are on track to betray their oaths, like they have so many times before, in service to their corporate globalist masters. My prediction is that this farce of an impeachment will be “surprisingly” successful, with the traitorous and bought-off legislature delivering the death blow to the Republic. There will be much talk of “principles” and “process”…while neither is honored or defined. The current president is an anomaly to the aristocracy, and after all, another citizen defender of the Republic cannot be allowed, and an example must be made.

We are left with dwindling options. A rotted and depraved society, in opposition to science and history…a decrepit and doddering ruling class, and an uneducated (Universities do not bestow such a thing anymore, only indoctrination and propaganda) and spoiled population have all converged into a great, mindlessly stomping beast. The question that you should now ask yourself is: “Will I finally stand against this usurpation? Am I willing to be like the Timber Rattlesnake? Have the corrupt and unwary finally ignored the tell-tale rattling warnings at their feet? Has the drunken and trampling body politic stepped onto our backs?”.  I know my answer…do you?

Winter Is Coming

Half of the US Population have joined The Army Of The Dead

 

Winter is coming. Literally and figuratively, there is indeed a cold, hard season ahead of us. For instance, according to NASA, there is a record low number of sunspots occurring, so this winter’s cold will be intense. Surprise! The sun has more to do with earth’s climate than humans currently understand! In addition, the midterm election fraud…..ahem, I mean results, show that we are in the midst of a New American Revolution, and unlike the War for Independence it is a regressive, tyrannical, and crushing movement for Groupthink, fascism and dependence.

 Over a week ago, elections were held across the country. Two hotly contested states were Florida and Georgia, and much globalist money flowed into the campaigns of Stacey Abrams ( democrat /GA ) and Andrew Gillum ( democrat/FL ). Well, since both of these candidates lost on election day, they have both decided to follow the new progressive strategy for electoral victory. Mainly, to be New Confederates that refuse to stop suing, recounting, or follow traditional rule of law and decency. Recently, in the case of the Abrams campaign, over 4600 out of 5000 “provisional ballots” found just happened to be in favor of Abrams. In Broward County, Florida…confessor of 2016 voter fraud Brenda Snipes is in charge of even more fraud this year! I am filled with confidence when it comes to the integrity of US elections. What’s really funny is that no one seems to notice that “found ballots” are always overwhelmingly democrat, and the judges that rule on these decisions are leftists. Oh, Jeb! Bush appointed this piece of work…..still think he’s a “conservative”?

This freak controls whether your vote means anything.

In addition to this election madness, Manbaby Jim Acosta has decided to sue everyone he can name in the White House for taking his press pass. Acosta is the moron kid in class who can’t shut the hell up or sit down, yet the President Of The United States evidently has no power to bar an adolescent and belligerent activist/stalker from an involuntary press conference. If the court sides with Acostwhaaa, where will the line be? Can I have a press pass?  I’ll tell you what the outcome will be. No more press conferences, and then Jim will say it’s cuz Drumph is Hitler and stuff.

The behavior of a significant portion of the population, as well as most of the media, entertainment, government bureaucracies, academia, and even the very institutions of our government – are hopelessly and helplessly corrupt. The rational and legal course was to elect some crazy outsider like Trump to clean stuff up, but ever since election day 2016, there has been a daily, and ever-increasing, attack waged on anyone and everything associated with the results. Many of you may have thought that within 2 years the Mueller investigation –  and the political and popular poison aimed at you – would come to a conclusion and life would begin to return to normal. With the success of the economy, employment, and tax reform, many of you also thought that your fellow citizens would eventually tire of their teenage tribal nonsense and grudgingly get on with their lives. Well, as in so many cases before,  I have bad news for you.

Things are getting worse. The divide between normal people and identity politics/SJW advocates and university-propagandized zealots is growing wider. As millennials grow older, their post-modern vampirism is infecting every aspect of life. Did something bad happen to you because you’re stupid or a jerk? Just sue, protest, and tantrum until your victimhood status let’s you proclaim victory. No law nor unspoken rule of civil behavior can stop you. As China steals America’s intellectual property and builds new land in the middle of international trade routes, America’s left continues its quest to proclaim #OrangeManBad and turn your kids into trannies.

I may be guilty of rambling, but the list of my grievances has become longer than Santa’s Naughty List. From republicans to democrats, from your corporate boss to even your pastor….you are abandoned and ignored. You are asked to believe what you hear about Stephen Paddock ( the Vegas Massacre shooter ) and Cesar Altieri ( aka Cesar Sayoc the Fake Bomber ), yet you are not to believe what you see and hear all around you regarding democrat voter fraud in Georgia and Florida. I know that you can feel, just as I do, the spiral downwards that American culture and civility is experiencing. I also know that you can feel the rot and decay, just as I do, infesting the body politic and public discourse. Resistance to the desire and quest for power that the progressive left is now engaged in has officially been outlawed.

I may indeed sound hyperbolic and incendiary. So be it. I have a dire prediction for you: Things are going to continue to deteriorate. The center of the fabric that makes up our society will continue to fray. Soon, where you can expect to safely dine, shop, bank …..even where you seek medical attention – whether in person or online – will be subject to your political persuasion and victim class. Let me ask you, would you trust these institutions to treat you fairly if your political and social opinions were published for all to see?  In my opinion, we are descending into inevitable civil conflict. I’m not saying that there will be some dramatic event, like the attack on Fort Sumter in 1861, that will propel America into a recognizable civil war, but instead a descent into ever-increasing lawlessness and open prejudice that will lead to national violence. For those reading this that think me ridiculous and wrong, I look forward to being proved so. Otherwise, prepare yourself……….because winter is coming.

I Don’t Need Your Civil War

( I first published this column in June of 2013…..when it comes to Syria, what has changed? – Wes of The Empire 04/08/2018 )

Okay, let me get this straight. On another continent, thousands of miles away, there is a country in the midst of an ongoing civil war. And we need to do something about it. Really? Why?

I love history. I am fascinated with the rise and fall of civilization throughout the ages, and also the way our knowledge of the events that have transpired seems to be ever-changing. This amateur hobby greatly affects my interpretation of current happenings. Rome often went to war…. but I can’t recall the instance where it went to war for nothing. It was for gain. Gain of precious metals, land for expansion, influence, captives, or even to increase your resume – sometimes all of these at the same time.

But why does our Republic go to war now? In fact, regardless of the sheepish bleating of the Michael Moores of the world, we haven’t gone to war for any good reason in over 60 years. And if you think our recent escapades in the middle east were for “Big Oil”, check the price of gas. I’m at the point where we should at least have cheap, plentiful fuel in exchange for the lives and limbs of American servicemen and women. At least history would record the reason for our decade-plus conflict as a practical one.

So here we are. Once again an American president is sitting next to a Soviet, oops… I mean Russian, leader, contemplating going to yet another proxy war with the land of the Tzars. If I remember correctly, we haven’t won one of those. I wish Rambo did exist, and with a tank-top and an M-60 machine gun he could single-handedly vanquish our foes without recieving more than a flesh wound, but he doesn’t. Vietnam sucked, and Korea was at best a stand-off. Maybe if we enslaved, oops…there I go again, I mean, conscripted millions to throw themselves against the Communist Hordes we would have had a better outcome.

When I look around me, I don’t see a populace ready to suit up and watch their buddies get turned into strawberry jam by an exploding IED. Not for some vague concept of policing the world or spreading “democracy” to people who wouldn’t recognize it, and if they did would reject it. The only people I do see ready to throw more Americans into the grinder are in D.C.. I’ve been watching McCain trundle in front of the cameras to tell me how important it is to not mind our own business. He’s fighting harder to get us into a third middle eastern conflict than he did to win the White House.

Oh, and I left out an important fact….. we’re freaking broke. America needs to be ordering off the Dollar Menu, not adding billions more to its bar tab. Here’s an idea…. let’s rebuild our own infrastructure before we blow up and rebuild someone else’s. Besides, we evidently are already going to send the “rebels” ( probably Al Qaeda-types ) some really sweet guns to use on us….oops, this is becoming a habit…. I mean on the bad guys. I seem to remember that every time we arm “freedom fighters”, they end up using those weapons to fight our freedom. Besides, maybe Egypt can send in all those brand new state-of-the-art fighter jets we sent them.

Truth is America cannot afford, in money, reputation, or willpower, to engage in another nation’s civil war. And judging by the look on Putin’s face while sitting next to our Fearless Leader, he knows it.

There Will Be Blood

Many of you may be asking yourselves, “when will it stop?”.  The answer is never………not until “it” ends in violence. There is a non-stop assault on the President of The United States by the unelected intelligence agencies, the unelected and unaccountable press, and the unelected special interests that fund virtually every member of Congress, and it will not end well. It has gotten so bad that every American should be outraged, even if you hate Trump’s policies ( more likely it’s hate of his personality and a lack of understanding that Clinton lost – but that’s ok too ) you should realize that regardless of whom is in the White House, this ongoing sedition on behalf of the aforementioned parties can only end in disaster. I can honestly say that even if Hillary Clinton had been elected, and was being treated in the same fashion, my opinion would be the same…….and so would my conclusions.

Let me explain where the road that we are on leads to: War. No matter which way you slice it, the only outcome will be very unpleasant for all of us, even the idiots that are currently consumed and deformed by their political hate and blind-rage hypocrisy. Leftist Progs in media, government, and entertainment have decided, subconsciously or not, to put politics above the very security of this country and the safety and prosperity of its citizens – all because they didn’t get their way.  When it comes to Russia……..they thought the same thing as the media up until election day……namely that Hillary would be president……and anything they did or didn’t do was to sow trouble for their main competitor. Every story involving Russia is crap, and the fact that so many are so willing to swallow every steaming nugget is a testament to their political delusion…..and the ones feeding them the scat know it.

Our corrupt members of congress ( both parties ) know the Russia stuff is dumb, but they also know that their voters are as well, and they are using this narrative to avoid doing anything that would stop their ride on the gravy train. When the Russia narrative fails, they use their fall-back plan of leaking and fabricating hourly “scandals” as the excuse to do nothing. Whom can be bothered to govern by lowering corporate tax rates, reforming immigration and healthcare, and curbing spending while they’re busy chasing turds down the sewer pipe of fake news?  Pretty damned convenient, isn’t it?

I know many of you may be wondering what I think of the latest hysteria regarding James Comey’s supposed and unseen handwritten “memo”, and to be honest, it’s just another example of what I just explained. Comey was and is incompetent and untrustworthy, and everyone should be happy that he’s gone. The hissyfits happening about the story in the Washington Post are pretty hilarious…..considering it’s based on an anonymous phone call where an anonymous “source” read ( yes, read…. not faxed or emailed or anything else ) an alleged handwritten memo, written allegedly by Comey, that alleged that Trump allegedly said  “I hope you let it go” regarding Mike Flynn’s alleged Russian ties. Yawns, sighs, and eye rolls…… that’s all this non-story gets from me. If you disagree with me, I have been read an anonymous memo by an anonymous source that says your wrong.

The truth is that if the Progressive Left and their Neo-Con pals got what they wanted, which would be Trump going on live TV, signing an executive order naming Hillary dictator-for-life, and then committing suicide………the outcome would still be a bad one for them in the end. Unless something changes, and I don’t think it will, the only logical end to the aggressively divisive agenda of these people will be either a civil war, or another world war……..or both at the same time. In any case, whether it’s in the cities of the European Continent, the sands of the Middle East, or the streets of America…………….there will be blood.

A Change Is Gonna Come

Tyrants, cult leaders, sadistic dictators, and megalomaniacs have all had at least one thing in common…………they rewrite or erase history. A big part of Chairman Mao’s communist “revolution” was the attempted removal of anything indicative of China’s long and rich history. Art, books, ancient texts and artifacts, even the teachers who possessed knowledge of China’s past were purged.  For years this has also been the mission of ISIS and other Islamic groups across what was once referred to as “the cradle of civilization”. They are systematically razing….I mean destroying all trace of…..any and all ancient ruins and artifacts that they come across, forever removing known, and unknown, pieces of humanity’s hidden past. These are the actions of tyrannical ideologies, and their adherents, all in service to their crazed desire to limit knowledge and control the past, present, and future of those they hold power over. Sadly, the Cult of Social Justice – America’s new religion – has begun it’s purge.

Starting today, New Orleans has begun its newest project in service to the god of Identity Politics…….they’re removing the Civil War statues of historical figures like Robert E. Lee and others. You can even see pictures of the typical white beta-male SJW standing in front of one of these monuments holding the unintentionally-ironically-racist  “black lives matter” sign in support. This kind of thinking should have no place in America, a country founded by followers of The Enlightenment, where knowledge of history and human behavior is supposed to inform and educate the public. Instead, the same morons who think there is such a thing as “intersectional gender identity” now think that remembrance of actual history is too offensive and “problematic” to remain in our midst.

Like the muslims who dream of toppling the great cathedrals of Europe, the American Left dreams of redacting any trace of people and events that they deem offensive. Let me be clear, the Confederacy was representative of the awful realities of the South’s slave economy, and that includes all the bad stuff you’re thinking……..but that does not change the fact that this nation went to war with itself, almost destroyed itself, and then put itself back together – with over a million people dead or maimed as a result. It happened. There were famous, notable figures on both sides. Statues and monuments were raised all over the country because of the scale and scope of the war – and most importantly, because a history forgotten is a history repeated.

Like the three famous monkeys that are used to portray the age-old “hear no, speak no, see no evil”, the Progressive Left wishes to remove unpleasant references to our unpleasant past.  But just like gender, the true effect of multiculturalism, immigration, and entitlement spending…….simply lying, imposing twisted logic, and covering up the truth doesn’t make something real and actual disappear. Logic and reason do not cease to exist just because you replace it with childish emotion…….and the facts of history do not cease to exist just because you tear them down. Things like racism and tyranny are born from ignorance, and blotting out history breeds it.

Several months ago, while doing research for another column, I joked that a visit to Stone Mountain, Georgia would be a good idea……..because it wouldn’t be long before a giant black curtain is installed over the famed carved monument located there. Now that joke has become a prophecy. What part of our history is next to be removed and demolished in the name of childish sensitivity? Who decides what will be redacted, and for whose benefit? The supposed evolved-among-us can once again celebrate their success……….less knowledge, less freedom, less Socratic critical thinking, less free speech, less reminders of the unfortunate facts of human existence, less tolerance, and lesser intelligence…………all in accordance and unity with the greatest monsters that ever existed. Bravo, SJW morons………sharing the same philosophies as all of your favorite boogeymen. Will there be someone as dumb as you are in a hundred years to erase your stupidity from history? Let’s hope not……..because your ignorance is truly………..historic.

Ivanka Cries, Trump’s Agenda Dies?

Posted on by

Will the real Donald Trump please stand up? If pictures of suffering children is all it takes to launch America into – at best another Iraq-style debacle, and at worst – World War 3…… then our military is about to be very, very busy.  According to Eric Trump, Ivanka Kushner was “heartbroken and outraged” over images of children in Syria, and that “she has influence” over her father’s decisions, and that in turn the President was “deeply affected” by the pictures he was shown. Let me be clear, I still support the agenda laid out by Trump in the year leading up to the election. My concern is that since being sworn in the President has surrounded himself with some bad actors, and I didn’t vote for them and their status-quo agenda.

When idiots like Fareed Zakaria, John McCain, Hillary Clinton, Bill Kristol, and Lindsey “I haven’t found the right woman yet” Graham suddenly decide to sing the praises of striking Syria and Russia, and in turn President Trump, you know that the wrong decisions are being made. Also, why are we now adding the picturesque little hellhole known as Montenegro to NATO? Do people realize that any attack on a NATO country requires a military response by the United States? Or that the United States carries the largest financial burden for NATO, even though it is a treaty for the defense of Europe – not the United States? Donald Trump repeatedly promised during the campaign to withdraw from, or defund, NATO……..and to not get involved in the Syrian civil war, so what has changed?

It is concerning to me that without investigation or facts ( what kind of “gas”- no gloves or masks were present on aid workers – and ISIS in Syria has used gas attacks in an attempt to effect a response  before-*NYTimes 11/21/16 ) , we launched an attack on Syria, a westernized nation not beholden to Sharia law – in support of islamists who would enforce the most archaic theocracy imaginable. Why can we not extricate ourselves from this region? What is our interest, and why is there no effort to explain to the American public a rationale for this dangerous folly? All I can find is the same old garbage about “moral obligations” and “protecting the children”, and I’m sorry…….I care about the citizens of the United States and their children first and foremost – and I’m sick and tired of sacrificing America’s youth and our financial future for some Islamic Dump of a Country on the other side of the world.  Did Bosnia and Iraq prove nothing?

I still believe in the agenda that Trump put forth, and that we voted for……….but where is it? The course of events does not seem to be any different from that of a Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton presidency so far, and I find that entirely unacceptable. I can only conclude that people like life-long Democrat and Globalist banker Jared Kushner need to go, because they are anathema to the stated goals of the newly elected President, and they are not representative of the people who brought Trump to the dance. Establishment “nevertrumpers” are still just that, and appeasing their desires for a third World War will not make them stop undermining and demonizing the President. Now that the islamists know what it takes to goad The West into fighting on their behalf, look for several more of these chemical attacks to occur in an attempt to mobilize our severely depleted military. Maybe someone should give some pictures of suffering American children dying in the inner cities to Ivanka, or pictures of third-term aborted babies…….perhaps then we would mobilize the Federal Government on our own behalf.
