The story is impossible to believe. A football coach of a major state university, hired to rescue a desperately ineffectual program, won the NCAA national championship in his very first year as a head coach. Predictably, the stunning performance dominated all media outlets for months. Incomprehensibly, however, six months later, the University Administration and Board of Trustees fired the coach following allegations of misconduct and behavior contrary to school policy. You can only imagine the resulting outcry. Understandably, students, alumni and fans were enraged and thousands stormed the main campus to demonstrate and to demand an investigation into the University’s action. The story is simply impossible to believe. So, Matilda,  you don’t. As you might expect, this contrived piece of fiction is illustrative of the true, ongoing saga of one Donald Trump — a neophyte politician who, against all odds, took America to unprecedented domestic and international victories in just one tenure at the helm. Incomprehensibly, his performance was repudiated by an alleged majority of voters in favor of a demented basement dweller. And understandably, millions of enraged voters smelled a rat and demanded an investigation into glaring irregularities — more like evidence — of election fraud. No one, including you, is interested in hashing over election theft. Despite  media-backed denials by the federal political cartel, massive fraud did happen. It’s done. It’s history. Much like the 200,000 murders that are committed annually in America — murders that go unsolved. But even some Trump supporters think there was no election hijacking and also accuse Trump of personally coordinating a violent attack on the Capitol. These are the same people who believed and still believe in all manner of other lies. That Covid was accidental, for instance.  Just bad luck. That the Covid infection is a death sentence. That cloth masks work (after all, doctors wear them). That a vaccinated person can’t transmit the virus. That a vaccinated person would not need hospital care if infected. That the Covid vaccine is safe. That reports of sudden death caused by the vaccines are rightwing propaganda. That booster jabs are absolutely essential. That unvaccinated Americans are sub-human. These are the same people who are free to choose for themselves in a free country — who also subject innocent children to the jabs, knowing full well that youngsters have zero Covid risk — but in fact do have serious vaccine risks, including the risk of death. And looking forward to 2024, these are the same people who say that Donald Trump has outlived his usefulness. That he can’t win. That he’s a negative influence, a drag on the GOP. That he should step aside to support a shining star in Ron DeSantis who has proved his mettle in Florida — a star that has no apparent baggage. You hope, you pray, DeSantis does run. His participation gives you strong reason for optimism, having another worthy candidate with backbone. While you have no interest whatsoever in throwing DT under the bus, there are those who do. They blame him for waging a self-serving war of vengeance, for creating turmoil and making enemies of the Democrat Party. Simply hungry for peace, former Trumpers are exasperated with the constant conflict and would gladly settle for business as usual in Washington. For the jellyfish, draining the Swamp is no longer a priority. Nothing has changed since 2015, The combined forces of Washington insiders — the Democrat Party, the GOP Establishment, Legacy Media, Big Tech, Big Lobbies, Woke Corporations and the ubiquitous Deep State — all who feed at the Federal trough — are determined, at any cost, to destroy the one person they fear the most. He is the enemy. Pugnacious, combative, insulting and hugely competitive, he is American through and through, born too late, better suited for America’s swaggering infancy, when She was straining at the leash to conquer the land and build the cities. Ego driven, he is always eager to step into the ring. But the personality you see in the ring is not the personality that sits in council, that listens extensively, that yields to advisers, that speaks thoughtfully and softly, and that acts decisively. The public face of TV celebrity Donald J. Trump may delight his followers, or infuriate his critics; but his private bearing and disposition are solely performance driven. You leave the 2024 prediction to the expert predictors. The outcome has no bearing on DJT’s legacy — leading America to a brief, brilliant period of domestic and international achievement. For you, however, he authored a more decisive feat — in exposing forever the corrupt, swollen underbelly of the Washington Deep State. For that alone, he stands alone.

By now, people who bother to contemplate something beyond their own navels will have heard the talk about World War III. Naturally, the majority of them think the talk is — well, talk. Like conspiracy talk. Fear mongering talk. Red hot talk about the World Economic Forum and New World Order, right out of the latest version of Evil Genius 2: World Domination. But in this case, talk about WWIII comes from (unfriendly) top officials speaking at world symposiums, not from combative video games. You don’t have to look far to see the preparations — thousands of goose stepping troops, massive tanks, heavy armament, towering warships and sleek nuclear subs — busily engaged in war games — missiles and rockets hurtling into space. You don’t have to look far to see and hear that the CCP has it in for the West, with a bullseye painted on Her fruited plains. Elsewhere, a CCP announced ally is well past the posturing. You need only ask Ukraine about that. Three thousand miles to the south and west, the third enemy shouts, “Death to America, the great Satan.” You don’t need Google to figure that one out either, do you Matilda? Finally, never underestimate the fourth prong on the 21st century Axis — that wisp of a country commanded by his eminence Kim Jong Un who has always had a bone to pick with America. You might ask: “How does a Constitutional Republic compete with the combined forces of communism? How does any representative government, always at war with itself, compete with allied, all-powerful, nuclear dictatorships? These questions resonate emphatically, considering that your country has been infiltrated in every nook and cranny by your enemies. If you doubt this allegation, be honest enough to inspect the motives behind WOKE, Cancel Culture, Critical Race Theory, BLM, the Covid debacle, a diminished military, a suicidal energy policy, the cracked economy — and what is happening to your children in kindergarten and on college campuses. Most ominously, however, examine the motives behind your own apathy and denial. They are the apathy and denial of the 1930’s when Hitler was building his war machine and dared an entire continent to challenge him. It is the denial that Joe Biden sends signals of appeasement and weakness to the world at large, inviting military aggression — yes, inviting WWIII. And the denial that America itself is under siege from within. The evidence stares you dead in the face. At gas pumps, at food stores, at every purchase you make in person or online, on the farms, at medical institutions, in your energy bills, in your retirement investments, in the classrooms, at your southern borders and in your churches. In years past, when immigrants aspired to become Americans, they saw a people who would not tolerate oppression. A people who were free from the controlling, imperious arm of governmental power — to go, do and say what was in their self interest — to choose pathways of self reliance, of success or failure. Freedom was America’s gift. That America was fueled by a nation of pugnacious, brawling, swaggering individuals. But no longer. Not as long as Her people shrink in compliance and remain in denial.

Another day, another election come and gone. And with all due respect, to what end? No end really. At least in your lifetime, elections are like that. A team wins. A team loses. Two years later, the game plays again — and once again, it’s the most important election in modern history. On November 9, 2022, the experts weigh in to tell you what happened and why. As always, like sportscasters, they state the obvious, ad nauseum — why so-and-so won and so-and-so lost. Analysts are necessary cogs in the political industrial machine, along with media outlets, ad agencies, campaign staffs and no end of others who profit from political campaigns. Thousands have permanent careers in the game. Thousands feed off the business of elections. And it is a business. The only people who don’t make money are ordinary Americans. In fact, ordinary people willingly contribute millions to the game. The sour fact is elections are not about them, not about ordinary People. Elections are about two parties — two teams — engaged in a war for power. Each team — all the candidates — tell you that their core motives are to protect The Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic and to ensure the future for generations to come. They tell you they want to save America. And, to be sure, for some candidates, past and present, the motives are pure. You acknowledge their sincerity, dedication and, yes, courage. But all these patriots can offer is a finger in America’s decaying dike. To be unequivocal, America has been moving away from its founding doctrines for a very long time, but now that withdrawal has escalated to all-out retreat. In 1776, America rejected dictatorship to embrace liberty and self reliance. In 2022, America is accepting dictatorship to embrace subjugation and dependency. And no election — not one — will reverse this direction — no matter which party wins the gavel. Skeptics will say these dogmatic assertions are nothing more than armchair opinion. True enough. Nonetheless, you extend a core hypothesis. Unless the Federal Government voluntarily relinquishes its domestic power to the States, or unless the States act to take back that power, America will no longer be a Constitutional Republic. To be clear, Matilda, the Federal Government already has nullified the basic exigencies of The Constitution through confiscation — through outright and arbitrary seizure. The Balance of Power has failed — failed miserably — because elected officials have failed to honor the oath of office. You will find nothing in The Constitution that allows any branch of Government to meddle in your daily life. But meddle it does — in your choices — in your education, your race, your gender, your job, your religion, your health, your failure, your weapons, your success, your pregnancy, your drug addiction, your business, your charity, your speech, your prejudice. No Federal funding should prop you up for any reason whatsoever. No Federal funding should pay salaries to thousands of people in dozens of bogus agencies who do the meddling. More justly, that money should be diverted to the deserving — to the Wounded Warriors and their families. Maybe it has not occurred to brilliant experts — if the Federal Government’s jurisdiction were limited to its enumerated powers (as mandated by The Constitution), Federal elections no longer threaten the Republic or the people. You can elect airheads like AOC without dread. Eviscerating the dictatorship takes socialism off the table and replaces individual freedom where it belongs — on the altar of Liberty. All things considered, however, the smart money and history resides with dictatorship. Why? Demographics tell the melancholy tale. At least half the country is dependent on some sort of federal assistance. This crowd of thieves always votes for dictatorship. The other half busily fend for themselves and wait for the next game, in vain. As a reminder, in the face of this litany of despair, nineteen (19) States have voted to handcuff Washington and restore America’s fundamental ethic. A light does wink at the end of the tunnel. It winks for you.
