Once again, another Memorial Day reminds you of ultimate sacrifice — the sacrifice of thousands of Americans who suffered and died to create a new nation and the millions since who protect Her from the inveterate axises of evil. The reminder is especially vivid at this moment, as you angrily and bitterly contemplate the absurdity of an ungrateful and ignorant people, drowning in political correctness, preoccupied with group identity, feeling entitled, forsaking morality, denying reason, mired in mindless Marxism, weakened by apathy and led by a treasonous authority. You freely and apologetically acknowledge that everybody has had their fill of this kind of a condemning and hypercritical outlook. You can’t blame them. Everywhere they turn, somebody’s dishing out a negative stroke. It should never be this way on Memorial Day, of all days. This should be a day in which every man, woman and child understands the astonishing way this country came to exist. And especially why it came to exist. It should be a day that all Americans believe in preserving that “why.” It is what millions of Americans fought and died for — to preserve the “why.” It is, after all, why we have a Memorial Day. Regrettably, half the country has no allegiance to this devotion, thinking that the U.S. Constitution is overrated, if not obsolete — and the performance of both political parties confirms that infidelity. This realization frankly leaves you enraged. Especially today, as your faithless, feckless, deceptive government honors its heroes today and spits on their graves tomorrow. You see, there are no legitimate excuses for the the rape of the U.S. Constitution, for nullifying the Rule of Law, for fiscal malpractice and crimes against humanity. Elected members of the U.S Government are guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors and not one dirtbag has been called to account, notwithstanding John Durham’s meaningless, four year tour of a so-called legal investigation. The Biden family is untouchable. The Clinton family is untouchable. Barak Obama is untouchable. Brennan, Clapper Comey, McCabe, Strzok and Page are untouchable. But not the Trump family. Not the Flynn family. Not the Jan. 6 MAGA protestors. Tomorrow,  May 30, the people who run America and those who are campaigning to run America will put aside thoughts of dead heroes and concentrate on their personal ambitions. As usual, the fate of America hangs on the outcome of the 2024 election. The GOP says your country can’t survive the misery of another Biden term. Likely true. Even people who vote for him may agree. That tells you something about addiction. Some people say Trump can’t win without the voters who prefer DeSantis. Some say DeSantis can’t win without Trump’s base. Some say DeSantis can’t win if Trump loses the primary and forms a third party. In any case, on this Memorial Day, it seems clear to you that political candidates don’t mind putting the interest of the American people at risk. Trump and DeSantis and the growing list of competent GOP candidates know what’s at stake. They passionately identify what needs to be done to rescue this great nation — that the GOP must win to restore America’s marrow. At his rallies, Trump likes to say — “this is not about me; it’s about you, the American people.” Really? Seems to you, if it’s about saving a country, political opponents should park their egos in the attic and map the road to victory. In honor of those who gave their last full measure of devotion, the leading candidates should unite independent of the GOP Beltway Club and put together the ticket that can win. This is not the time for crash and burn political combat. It’s time for America to win. Americans laid it on the line at Yorktown, Gettysburg, Normandy and Hamburger Hill. it’s time for a nation to honor and preserve the “why.”

Vivek Ramaswamy says his initial goal is to get the candidate ranking that will propel him to the GOP primary debate stage. That means he needs a ton of names. You will send him at least the $1 he requests. He wants money, but more important, your name. Vivek punches all the right buttons but this is the age of disbelief, of suspicion — of the BIG LIE. So whom do you trust? Ab-so-lute-ly nobody, not even Matilda who stood by you every time you fell on your face. But you definitely want Vivek on the big stage. Assuming he doesn’t step back from his published views and doesn’t alter his “vows,” he will change the political game of dodge and fudge.

This is a partial list of what Vivek says he would do if elected President.

Shut down the Department of Education.

Shut down the FBI.

Shut down the IRS.

Deploy the U.S. Military to secure the border and annihilate the Mexican drug cartels.

Restore Energy Independence. Abandon the Climate Cult and unshackle nuclear energy.

Declare independence from China and hold the CCP accountable for Covid-19.

End the buying of American land by CCP affiliates.

End Biden’s dirty secret — funding the Russia vs Ukraine war.

Oppose ESG’s WOKE capitalism and influence of money in America’s politics.

Encourage the end to Super Pac money in politics.

Encourage the end of America’s anti-growth climate agenda in the name of global “equity.”

Cancel Executive Order 11246 that established Affirmative Action.

Dismantle Lyndon Johnson’s failed “Great Society.”

Limit Federal Government’s scope and jurisdiction.

Encourage a goal of achieving semiconductor independence.

Impose term limits, cancel civil service protections for bureaucrats and cut 50% of all agency staffing.

Eliminate Federal employee unions.

Oppose Central Bank Digitalized Currencies(CBDCs).

Endorse Article V and the Convention of States resolution.

When Donald Trump entered politics in 2015, he announced what he would do if elected and he kept his word. But, like all politicians, he fell short of naming specifics, avoiding black and white answers to sticky issues that might offend special interest voters. Instead, “draining the swamp” was his popular, catch-all slogan. Donald did pull the plug on wasteful regulations. His achievements as President were exemplary. But today, Washington’s corrupt swamp dwellers are alive and well. Speaking eloquently from his cellar, Biden promised to unify America but also fell short of naming specifics like high interest rates, record inflation, record gas prices, Covid mandates, open borders, business failures and Woke-ism. Regarding his promise, he simply misspoke. He meant to say “divide America.” For that he gets an A+.

But now you might have a primary candidate willing to confront all the American people and challenge all the sacred cows — daring to mention the unmentionable. On a debate stage, if moderators ask direct issue questions, Vivek’s positions are already rooted in the public domain. The other candidates — Trump, Haley, DeSantis, Scott, Spence, Hutchinson, Elder and others TBD — have no wiggle room. Neither will the GOP establishment. Leave it to none other than a millennial outsider to possibly force other candidates to publish a specific, fleshed-out platform. Not for a minute, do you expect them to follow suit, nor do you expect Vivek to ride in on a white horse. For instance, on the subjects of social security, medicare and the horrific national debt, Vivek suggests . . .”we will grow our way out of (money) problems.” That simplistic reply forces you to roll your eyes and conclude he doesn’t support massive cuts in criminal Federal spending, or in the Fed’s exiting the healthcare business.

That negative aside, Vivek’s participation in debates should make for some good theater. You don’t trust how Big Media will manipulate the candidates. You don’t trust how the candidates will parse words. And regardless of who eventually squares off in ’24, you don’t trust the voting system. For you, it will take serious reform — Voter ID; one person; one vote; one day; no harvesting; compressed, verifiable absentee policy; stringent chain of custody of ballots. Without honest elections, America is not a sovereign nation. That issue should be first on the GOP debate stage.  But it won’t be, unless it’s to bait DT.

Americans, even those who cozy up to left-wing lunacy, are still American enough to pretend they are too clever, too streetwise, to be brainwashed. Psychologically, there’s a genetic reason for their swagger. It’s this. Based entirely on a celebrated 1776 “declaration,” America’s DNA was endowed with an audacity that essentially outlawed even the hint of government subjugation over the People. This audacity was behind America’s refusal to be tamed by government control freaks that dominated most of the world’s civilized societies. Well, Matilda, sorry to disappoint you; but your country’s DNA has swiftly lost its historic moxie. And Americans who say they can’t be brainwashed are full of it. Don’t doubt it. Not for a minute. Need proof? Ask anyone of any age to read this: “What is the definition of the word “Gay”? Relax, this isn’t a trick question. Yes, you nailed it. “Gay” is the verbal evasion for homosexuality — for the male sexual preference for male. Although now the term has migrated to include females and all manner of sexual preferences under the LGBTQ++ umbrella. Automatically, thoughtlessly, you now use the word “Gay” as part of your knee-jerk vocabulary. The first question is — who? Who decided? Who decided that everyone — presidents, peasants, pastors, professors and parents, should adopt “Gay” as a synonym for homosexuality? Look no further than the entertainment industry, openly supported by Media and Universities. Then look at yourself. Because, primarily, you’re the one who decided. In fact, without your approval, the word “Gay” could not have been hijacked. The second question is — why? Why change the homosexual designation? Simple. To brainwash you. To give homosexuality a favorable, fashionable image by eliminating the word “sexual” and thus camouflaging the homosexual practice. And by any measure, the strategy has been widely successful, enveloping the entire world. And what do you get for your good faith tolerance? You get the LGBTQ++ invasion into public school systems that teach children that gender is fluid, sexuality is flexible and pornography is instructive. So what, Fodder? The original definition of “gay” is dead. Get over it. Google the single word “Gay.” The #1 reference? “Gay Hangouts Near You – Gays Search Gays Online (Compare US’s Top 10 Dating Sites Free.

It should be obvious to you that there’s no intent here to turn back the “Gay” clock. That water is over the dam. The “Gay”issue is simply a convenient and irrefutable example of brainwashing. The same type of brainwashing that cultivated the Covid panic, Russian collusion and Jan 6. Three quarters of the American population bought into a boatload of Covid lies — lie after lie after lie — and most are too thin-skinned or defensive to admit being conned by fear, despite having every opportunity to study the evidence and think for themselves. Call it what you like — submission, servility, surrender — the Covid outcome was and still is an unprecedented disaster. No, not the small business destruction. Not job losses, or suicides, or vaccine deaths and injuries, or corruption or even the WOKE insanity. The disaster is that Americans have relinquished their most precious birthright — the audacity that built a magnificent wonderland. It was this audacity that was exemplified in the legendary story from December 22, 1944. General Anthony Clement McAuliffe responded to a surrender ultimatum from the Germans who had surrounded his greatly outnumbered 101st Airborne at Bastogne, Belgium. His reply: “Nuts.” Every day, brainwashed Americans are caving, surrendering their birthright to a domestic tyranny that expects you to lie down, roll over and submit. It’s time, by God, to remember who you are, and act like an American.
