Last year, one of my favorite country music artists, Thomas Rhett, came out with a song entitled Be A Light. Contrary to popular belief, the song was not about proper illumination, but more an anthem of initiating a positive change in attitude and action. The chorus lyrics go a little something like this:

In a world full of hate, be a light
When you do somebody wrong, make it right
Don’t hide in the dark, you were born to shine
In a world full of hate, be a light

Given the current climate in our country, truer words have never been spoken or sung. I want to be a light. If I was going to be an actual “light,” would I be a flashlight or a light bulb? I like the thought of being a spotlight, search light, night light or lighthouse. I have always enjoyed how fireworks light up the sky. Props go out to both Ben Franklin and Thomas Edison for their contributions to light.

I joke, or pitifully attempt to, when obviously, Mr. Rhett is trying to musically inspire a nation of people to be a ray of light with the hope of bringing us out of this somewhat dark time in history. He is essentially saying that it’s time we put aside our partisan agenda and focus on bringing the citizens of our neighborhoods, cities, states, and nation together again for the greater good and prosperity of our entire country.

Thomas and I truly believe if we don’t start turning darkness into light, we’re destined for a Hunger Games type future. The Hunger Games were very impactful books, pretty good movies, but a really distressing vision of the future. My guess is none of us want our grandkids to be tributes chosen to fight to the death for the betterment of the capital. To ensure that isn’t the path we’re headed down, we’re going to need a reckoning and perhaps that reckoning starts with a song.

I grew up on a military base with the children of Navy and Marine officers and enlisted men. We were a small and diverse nation of every race, religion, ethnicity and GPA. To probably no one’s surprise, I was on the lower end of the GPA scale. That said, growing up together from the time we were infants and toddlers through high school, I’m comfortable saying we didn’t see color or political preference in our friends.

Our military base gang were often lightning rods for mischief and mayhem, but those kids went on to become teachers, policeman, firemen, software engineers, real estate and insurance agents, business owners—and one poor sole even thinks he’s a writer.  

As children of military men and women, we were all raised to respect each other and our country. We played, learned, traveled, fought, dated, and competed against each other in a healthy and productive environment. That appears to be a concept that has slipped between the cracks, however, it’s not inconceivable that it could be brought back if we all tried to be a light.

Ironically, I remember chasing Fireflies as a child. What better way to exemplify being a light than having your butt actually light up? I wish my bottom could light up just for the sake of this article.

A few people that I think exemplify being “lights” in society today include:

Tom Brady, who, as a 43 year old NFL quarterback, headed to his 10^th Super Bowl, lights up the NFL with every victory.  

Amanda Gorman shone brightly when the 22-year-old American Poet graced the stage at President Biden’s inauguration.

John Krasinski (formerly a cast member on The Office) shows us the lighter side of life with his “Some Good News” Show.

The health care workers throughout the country who deal with COVID-19 are truly bright lights in the pandemic darkness.

Lights that were recently extinguished include:

• Eddie Van Halen whose guitar licks loved the spotlight.
• The same could be said for Hank Aaron as he lit up Major League Baseball when he broke Babe Ruth’s home run record back in the day.
• And then there’s Larry King, who truly seemed to love the limelight as he conducted over 50,000 interviews.

On a “lighter” note, I find those Progressive Insurance commercials where Dr. Rick, the Parental Life Coach, helps people from turning into their parents. Those spots are incredibly enlightening. They are so me. I do virtually all the things pointed out in that entertaining series of 30 second TV ads, including introducing myself to my waiter at a restaurant, groaning when I get up from sitting in a chair, offering advice to other customers at Home Depot, and being intimidated by technology—just like my dad used to do.

Finally, it’s a beautiful sight seeing the sun light warm the I-680 hillside, between Stone Valley Road and El Pintado in Alamo, where a zebra, camel, llamas, Shetland Ponies and other animals roam.

If you’re interested, the entirety of Rhett’s song goes a little something like this:

In a time full of war, be peace
In a time full of doubt, just believe
Yeah, there ain’t that much difference between you and me
In a time full of war, be peace

In a place that needs change, make a difference
In a time full of noise, just listen
‘Cause life is but a breeze, better live it
In a place that needs a change, make a difference

In a race that you can’t win, slow it down
Yeah, you only get one go around
‘Cause the finish line is six feet in the ground
In a race you can’t win, just slow it down

In a world full of hate, be a light (oh)
When you do somebody wrong, make it right (make it right)
Don’t hide in the dark (don’t hide in the dark), you were born to shine
In a world full of hate, be a light

Yeah, it’s hard to live in color, when you just see black and white
In a world full of hate, be a light

I look forward to seeing and meeting more lights in and around town. Let’s turn our high beams on and move forth into the New Year. There is a light at the end of this tunnel, and collectively we can illuminate the future.

In mid-October 2020, the New York Post, one of the longest-running, largest circulation newspapers in the country, published a story about our new president’s son, Hunter Biden. The story contained information that had been obtained from a laptop that once belonged to Hunter. The information included volumes of documents, emails, and saved copies of text messages regarding Hunter’s business dealings in a number of foreign countries, as well as less-than-flattering personal images and videos.

The story was largely ignored or dismissed by every other news outlet in the country, except Fox News. It was censored entirely by Twitter and severely restricted by Facebook—essentially hidden from the American public. Why?

If anyone bothered to inquire, the reasons given seemed to change by the minute. “The story is false,” became, “The material was ‘hacked’,” became “This matter has already been covered, and Hunter didn’t do anything illegal.” Whatever the reason, it didn’t seem to matter to anyone.

The important thing was, by being ignored or hidden by the media, the message being communicated to the public—that is, the voting citizens of America—was that this story was of no value or importance, deserving no scrutiny whatsoever.

But was that true? What if this story was important? What if it was so important, it might even have the power to sway the opinions of the American people enough to change the outcome of an election?

Heart of the Story

Contrary to past statements by Joe Biden regarding Hunter’s foreign business dealings, some of the emails and text messages on the laptop suggested that not only did Joe have knowledge of Hunter’s activity, but he was directly involved to some degree. If this was true it meant the Democrat candidate for president had been and was continuing to lie about the matter.

Direct involvement by Joe Biden could create the potential for foreign influence or coercion by foreign actors, should Biden win the presidency in the 2020 election. And it would have been illegal if he was, in fact, actively involved while serving as Vice President in the Obama Administration.          

When a slim number of legitimate journalists did muster the courage to poke their noses out from behind their “Covid and truth-filtering masks” to ask then-candidate Joe Biden about the story, he bristled and scolded them for asking, parroting the narratives being sold to Americans by the mainstream media. The question that had been and was again being asked of Joe Biden was, “Did you know of, and if so, what did you know, about your son’s business dealings in Ukraine and elsewhere?”  Repeatedly, Joseph Biden’s answer was that he was not involved in, and was unaware of, the details of Hunter’s business activity.     

Upon publication of the Post article, the few questions that reporters did ask Biden or his handlers were all met with flat-out denials, coupled with the narrative that the story was fake—a “hit piece” or conspiracy theory—likely concocted by Trump with help from Vladimir Putin.

Then, an inconvenient truth emerged that changed the dynamics of the story in an important way. Many of the emails and texts on the laptop included conversations Hunter Biden had with one of his business partners, Tony Bobulinski.

Upon learning of Joe Biden’s flippant characterizations of the story and hearing him repeatedly deny knowledge of or involvement in Hunter’s business affairs, Bobulinski, was incensed.

In a very public way, Joe Biden was not only calling Tony Bobulinski a liar, he stayed silent when California Congressman Adam Schiff said the story was just Kremlin-created disinformation. Then, by choosing to ignore, bury, or censor the story, a corrupt media happily advanced that narrative—that Bobulinski was merely part of a Russian “disinformation campaign.” Even so-called “intelligence experts” weighed in on this, adding to the Kremlin connection lie.   

Up until the time it became apparent that Joe Biden was willing to lie about the matter and by so doing, disparage Bobulinski’s reputation and honor, Bobulinski had no desire to expose what he knew about the “Biden Backroom Business Cabal.” But he had no choice. He had to set the record straight, clear his family name, and, feeling a patriotic duty, Bobulinski announced that he would hold a news conference. He assumed the media would want to hear his first-hand account about the Biden family’s business dealings in Ukraine, China, and elsewhere.

So, on October 22, 2020, Bobulinski appeared before a small gathering of reporters—none from any of the major networks, however—to tell what he knew about Joe Biden’s involvement with Hunter’s businesses. He had direct, first-hand knowledge about everything claimed in the Post story and said it was all true, and in an hour-long interview with Tucker Carlson of Fox News conducted a week later, he said Joe Biden was lying about the matter.

Some of what Bobulinski revealed in the interview were saved conversations that included an exchange between Tony Bobulinski and Hunter, where Tony was instructed to never refer to Hunter’s father by name. Subsequently, Joe Biden was referred to in numerous texts and emails as “the Big Guy,” and specifically by Hunter Biden as “My Chairman.” Part of Hunter’s conversations regarding one particular deal with a company operated by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) specifically mentions that “Ten percent be put aside for the ‘Big Guy’.”    

But the unequivocal “bombshell” revealed in the Carlson interview was that Bobulinski had personally met with Joe Biden for no other reason than to establish Biden’s direct involvement in the business partnership. Hunter wanted to reassure Bobulinski that their business ventures would be successful, precisely because of the credibility and clout of the Biden name, since the ex-vice president was Hunter’s “Chairman,” serving as the figurehead of the enterprise.  

So, on May 2, 2017, Hunter Biden introduced Tony Bobulinski to the ex-vice president and his brother, Jim Biden, at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel, where Joe Biden was attending the Milken Conference. They had a cordial meeting, where it was clearly established and understood that a new corporate entity would be established—whose partners would include Hunter Biden, Jim Biden (Joe’s brother and advisor), James Gilliar, Rob Walker, Tony Bobulinski (as CEO), and Joe Biden as a kind of “silent partner”—that would operate as part of the Biden family business.

Soon after this meeting, Bobulinski had a private meeting with Joe Biden’s brother and personal advisor, Jim Biden. Realizing that this proposed business arrangement with the man who might well become the next president of the United States could lead not only to considerable scrutiny but also great legal risk, Bobulinski asked Jim Biden a pointed question: “How are you guys getting away with this? Aren’t you concerned?”

Jim Biden’s answer was, “Plausible deniability.”          

All of Bobulinski’s claims, and more, were later verified as being legitimate in an investigation conducted in the United States Senate.

So, What Does All This Mean?

Why does any of this matter? Americans have become weary of “October Surprises”—the scandals and character assassinations that always pop up just before a major election. Is this in anyway different? Why should anyone care?

Soon after all this broke, I released a podcast about it, pleading that people pay attention and that everyone should be “scared to death” about the danger in all of this. I spoke with friends and relatives about it, most of them completely unaware of the story—a fact that makes my point to anyone thinking clearly.

And for some, after I made them aware of the story, they essentially replied making the point, “So what; all politicians lie and use their power to enrich themselves.” Sadly, I fear these well-meaning friends and relatives either miss the larger point, or have given up on the importance of truth, fairness, and free and fair elections.   

Yet, as bad as the facts are in this case, there looms a greater issue here that threatens our liberty and the very survival of our Republic—an issue that vast numbers of Americans are either unaware of, or don’t care about.   

The Greatest Threat to Our Freedom Is Upon Us  

If I ask you, “Is censorship a good or bad thing,” what would be your answer? I imagine you would say, “bad.” Then I would ask, “Why is it bad?” Do you know?

Right now, many Americans seem unclear or confused about this. Some Americans apparently believe certain words or expressions are so “wrong,” that if they are not already “illegal,” perhaps they should be. “After all,” they say, “even the word ‘fire’ is wrong, if you yell it out in a crowded theater.”

In fact, using that particular word, in that manner, under those circumstances, is a crime; one worthy of possible imprisonment. But it’s not the word itself that is wrong, it is how it is used—in what context and under what circumstances—that determines whether a crime has been committed.

The same thing applies to speech that incites violence. In both cases, the point is, in America, where the right to speak, write, and otherwise express ourselves freely—a sacred right guaranteed by the First Amendment—circumstances determine when and why words might be “regulated,” and those circumstances are defined within the guidelines of existing law. So even so-called “hate speech” isn’t illegal, nor is using the dreaded “N” word, depending upon the circumstances in which it is used.

Adding to Americans’ confusion about freedom of speech is the fact that outside the realm of criminal law, our freedom of expression is impacted by civil law, politics, and the now-blurred intersections of traditional media, social media and “big tech,” journalism, entertainment, and big business.

For example, take politically motivated speech by entertainers. When Madonna said to a crowd, “Yes, I have thought, an awful lot, about blowing up the White House,” she wasn’t charged with inciteful speech. Neither was Johnny Depp accused of possibly threatening the President when he asked “When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?  I want to clarify. I’m not an actor. I lie for a living. However, it’s been a while, and maybe it’s time.”

In both these cases, the actors probably didn’t realize how close they came to having an FBI agent knock on their door. Yet, as I recall, here was no media frenzy over these remarks, which would seem to indicate that “hate speech” is in the ear of the beholder. Because Donald Trump wasn’t popular to many powerful and influential people in the media, entertainment, and big-tech industries—those who essentially control the flow of information—this was no big deal, so it was ignored.

On the other side of the “Trump Spectrum” however, the simple words used in a single sentence, in a friendly, private conversation with the President of Ukraine, nearly caused a duly elected president to be removed from office. “I’d like you to do us a favor though…” was the phrase that a “whistleblower” found so troubling, he filed a report that led to the impeachment of President Trump, largely because the story was repeated and amplified by that same powerful and influential group that chose to ignore Madonna and Depp.

Enter Censorship

The concepts and notions of “hate speech,” “potentially dangerous speech,” “hurtful speech,” and the like, now define and determine what and how Americans think about communication. While we once talked peripherally about being too “PC” (politically correct), in a purely academic way, people now have a legitimate fear that saying the “wrong thing” might cost them dearly. And their fear isn’t without good reason, as people are being punished for saying words or promoting ideas, simply because others don’t agree with those words or ideas.

I realize this is a long article and the point I am trying to make may be unclear, so I will get to the point: America is in grave danger because too many citizens don’t seem to be aware of or aren’t speaking out against censorship and media bias. And some people have either forgotten how or have never learned to think rationally and critically.

The reason I explained the Tony Bobulinski story in such detail is that you may not have even been aware of it. So what was the overall impact of the media blackout of this story?  Polls conducted after the election indicated that 45% of democrats were completely unaware of the story, and 9.5% of democrats who voted for Biden said they would not have done so, had they known the about it.

By virtue of this issue alone then, independent of or excluding any claims of voter irregularities, potential fraud, or vote-flipping software, we can accurately state that the 2020 presidential election was not a “free and fair,” expression of democracy. And while you may be happy with the end result this time, by allowing this, we are ceding our judgment to others, giving license to a tyranny of the worst sort.

Permitting unelected, biased individuals to regulate what we can and cannot know must be stopped. What we are seeing come to power in America today is the ideology of oppression that we see in full bloom in Communist China and North Korea, and we must put a stop to it without delay before it is too late.

Sidebar

As of this writing, just one day after the inauguration of Joe Biden, a massive purge is underway. Many tech and media giants are censoring speech and companies are punishing people and groups throughout the United States. Whether you agree with people or not isn’t the point. You are safe now, only so long as you agree with or submit to the point of view of those in power. That’s a frightening place.   

For example, consider the past president of the United States. Regardless of how you feel about Trump, Twitter, which as everyone knew, was the president’s most reliable communication tool, first blocked then permanently banned him—while he was still the commander in chief. In so many words, they claimed they had a “duty to prevent further inciteful speech,” so they censored him completely, effectively denying him use of his favored means of communicating with Americans.    

Why is it that communication companies like Twitter and Facebook, which are currently protected from lawsuits under Section 230 of the Communications Decency act, which states that “no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as a publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.”

Translated, that means they CANNOT be sued for the content people post on their platforms. So why are they monitoring content and making judgements about what can or cannot be shared? Could it be they are more concerned about shaping thinking and policy than they are about liability?  

On the flip side, the New York Post, being a publisher, does not enjoy the same Section 230 protection, so they can be sued for liable. They had every reason to make sure the Bobulinski story was factual and 100% accurate.

Can you grasp the irony here? Twitter and Facebook, who had zero risk in sharing the Bonulinski story, blocked it. Then 95% of traditional media also chose to hide it, even after knowing that it was likely true, since The New York Post had already published it!  

Notable censoring and PC corporate and political punishment currently underway includes:

• Donald Trump banned from Twitter
• Donald Trump blocked on Facebook
• Parler site de-platformed by Google
• Parler site dropped by Apple
• Parler site hosting cancelled by Amazon
• Youtube is removing any content claiming “election fraud”
• Youtube may cancel accounts held by any with “election fraud” content
• Facebook is removing accounts of “Walkaway Movement” members
• Twitter banned Lt. General Michael Flynn
• Twitter banned Trump’s attorneys Sydney Powell and Lin Wood
• Some Senators suggest removing Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz from the Senate
• Simon & Schuster cancelled a previously agreed-upon publishing deal to publish “Tyranny of Big Tech” by Senator Josh Hawley (How ironic!)
• The popular “My Pillow” product line is dropped by several major retailers
• Payment processors Stripe, GoFundMe and others drop Trump-related commerce
• Many major corporations drop donations to Republicans who objected to Biden’s electoral certification

This list is growing, day by day. You could be added to it at any time, should your words or ideas place you on the “wrong side” in the future.  

America and Americans must always lean toward, and be on the side of, freedom and liberty, and away from control and tyranny.  

Which side are you on?

“A generation which ignores history has no past — and no future.” – Robert Heinlein.

After a long summer and autumn of marches, riots, burning, looting, intemperate language, political violence, monuments defaced, statues toppled, streets, parks, schools and everything from rice to pancake mixes to professional sports teams being rewritten, renamed, and rebranded, we might have expected a reaction. All of that combined with bewildering election results and fiery rhetoric from the northwestern streets of Seattle to the heart of our republic in the southeastern District of Columbia, the exasperation, frustration, and pent-up wrath of Americans culminated in a powder keg primed to explode.

And explode it did in a mindless riot with no real goal in mind, other than to express their collective fury at the demise of a country many Americans feel they may have forever lost.

Klete Keller, an Olympic gold medalist swimmer. A retired fireman from Chester, Pennsylvania. A paramedic from Florida. Two police officers from a small Virginia town. A police officer from Houston. A Bexar County Deputy Sheriff. Adam Newbold, a retired Navy SEAL. All eternally shamed now.

A graduate of the Air Force Academy who flew combat missions in the A-10 THUNDERBOLT II—the plane affectionately known as “The Warthog” by her air and ground crews—over the skies of Iraq and Afghanistan, threw away his entire life’s deposit of patriotic capital in this senseless act.

Another Air Force veteran who deployed overseas four times, lost her life after being shot by a Capitol Police officer. She bled out on the ground floor of the hallowed halls of her nation’s storied legislative body in a tragic and sickening coda to a lifetime of deeply cherishing and loving a country which she sincerely believed was plunging into a tailspin she was powerless to halt.[1]

There is no doubt there were some genuine bona fide white supremacists in the mob that hit the Federal Capitol building on the day the Congress, Senate, and Vice President were there to certify the electors who had voted in the electoral college.[2] 

Yet, unlike like the anarchists, Cultural Marxists, race-baiters, academics, Social Justice Warriors, and professional activists who rampaged through Walnut Creek last summer, burned down a police precinct in Minneapolis, and even established their own autonomous zone in Seattle—and who form the core of rioters across the nation—the white supremacist agitators were a fringe that day; outcasts from the mainstream, remaining as the societal misfits they have always been. Whereas the larger group of rioters on January 6^th 2021 appeared to be once productive, responsible, patriotic citizens, exercising their First Amendment rights in a show of solidarity.

What accounts for ordinary, seemingly patriotic, traditionally responsible Americans engaging in this march on the Capitol? This is the question no one is asking—not the pontificators of our academic class, not the cultural gurus of our society from Big Media to Big Tech, and certainly not the politicians, who instead of dialing back the rhetoric tripled down with accusations of racism (always racism), sedition, insurrection, and treason; indicted an enraged ragtag mob of attempting to stage a coup!

The incoming 46^th President of the United States blamed the Capitol Police of racism for allowing the mob to enter the Capitol grounds because they were white—not because they were outnumbered one-hundred to one. The Speaker of the House blamed her Republican colleagues of being a Fifth Column, who enabled the rioters. And of course the entire left side of the House marched in lockstep to vote to impeach the 45^th President of the United States with zero Due Process. His crime? “Insurrection,” they claimed.

Despite the fact the rioters consisted of less than one percent of the Americans who gathered that day for a Trump Rally. It didn’t matter. The focus of the new House, the new Senate, and the new Administration would be on “insurrection.”

Does this country face other more pressing issues? Massive debt. Federal debt. State debt. Personal debt.  Small businesses closing. A 70-year-old restaurant like El Charro in Lafayette? Gone. Big businesses closing. Niemann Marcus in Walnut Creek? Gone.

Skyrocketing unemployment. The SCU (Santa Clara Unit) Lightning Complex fires. The plague of the Coronavirus. Vaccine distribution bungled. Churches closed. Schools closed. Weddings postponed. Facemasks everywhere. Increased surveillance of the citizenry. Deplatforming. Shadowbanning. Senators figuratively in bed with Communist China.[3] Congressmen literally in bed with Communist China.[4]

Is our leadership equipped to deal with these issues? Or would they rather distract us with something else? Something to divide us further?

The response of our elites is predictable: Half of the electorate, over 70 million Americans, are , what else? “White supremacists.” Because if you voted for Donald Trump back in November of 2020, “It puts you in the same crowd.”[5]

If you voted for Trump you may have thought you were voting for a man who promised to prevent domestic jobs from being outsourced; was ending wars overseas which were needlessly spending American blood and treasure, or who was nominating Supreme Court Justices who respect the Constitution. You may have thought you were voting for the man who managed to find a vaccine cure for the pandemic via Operation WARP SPEED. Now you know how wrong you were!

You thought you were voting for a man who wanted to make America great again because he loved, cherished and respected American history? No! You’re really just a white supremacist because America’s past always has been and always will be racist.

Wayne Allensworth writes, “My America was no hellhole of oppression. Imperfect as she was, the old America looks all the better in retrospect. An old friend. A reassuring elder. Something personal and real, not an abstraction in any sense. I miss her.”[6]

Those of us old enough to remember when California was still The Golden State—before it became a one-party oligarchy, a place where Hollywood made movies that celebrated our history (Hollywood invented the Western) and didn’t hate it; where the public schools celebrated our history rather than cancelling it;[7] where Jan and Dean and The Beach Boys sang about its glories, and the middle class flocked to California rather than flee it in unending waves of U-Hauls[8] ––are not as vulnerable to the propaganda as our younger residents. So it is our youth who are the target of the historical revisionists who insist our past was much, much worse than it is today.

“Americans educated by government today are, for the most part, hopelessly ignorant of their own nation’s history—and that’s no accident,” writes Alex Newman, “On the history of the rest of the world, or the history of communism, Americans are generally clueless as well. This was all by design, of course.”[9]

And yet, despite all of the attempts at deprogramming,[10] many Americans still remember a country that unleashed an arsenal of democracy upon Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany, an America that kept the Philippines, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea free from communism, and liberated Eastern Europe from Soviet Communism after a long and hard-fought Cold War. They remember an America that broke the sound barrier, built an interstate freeway system, ended tuberculosis and polio, created entertainment that the entire world read, listened to, and watched. They even remember, with pride, the America that put men on the surface of the moon. There’s was an America that championed the free expression of ideas, and where athletes stood and respected the flag. We remember that America. We love that America.

Those Americans, above all, respected the rule of law and loathed political violence—whether it was the political violence of unions, civil rights activists, genuine white supremacists, The Weathermen, The Symbionese Liberation Army, The Unabomber, Timothy McVeigh, or James Thomas Hodgkinson—those Americans preferred reasoned discussion, vigorous debate, and open expression, over censorship and cancel culture. Political Correctness was unheard of. Those Americans, personified in the hopeful civic nationalism of optimistic leaders like President Ronald Reagan, believed in the principles enshrined in our Constitution and the American Dream.

Their hope is that this dark era of identity politics, a starkly divided electorate, and political demagoguery will swiftly come to an end, as a brighter future emerges where all Americans, once again, embrace freedom rather than cancel it, respect our history rather than erase it, and, above all, reject political violence and renew its dedication to the rule of law.

No longer can Americans rely on the broader culture to instill American values in their youth. Entertainment won’t do it. Professional sports won’t do it. The mainstream news won’t do it. Public schools won’t do it. Now, even our civic leaders won’t do it.[11]

The Grandfather. The Grandmother. The Father. The Mother. These are the last bulwarks our nation has. Teach our youth the facts about American history, not the myths. Teach our youth the facts about this constitutional republic. Not the myths. And above all, instill in them pride, not shame.

For to continue going in the other direction will only hasten the fall of our one nation, which is supposed to be now and forevermore indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

And the republic, for which we should all stand, shoulder to shoulder.

As we begin a new year, I thought that I should sound the alarm on the systematic dismantling of our great country. In 1776, our Founding Fathers created an idea for a country where every individual would be considered equal by the fact that we had all been created by God.

For almost 244 years, the United States of America has managed to thrive as the Founding Fathers had intended. However, for the past few decades, some Socialists have been trying to transform this great nation into just another third world Socialist country, to be no better, nor superior to the rest of this struggling world, searching for an identity.

The unfortunate part of this is, the transformation efforts are driven, not from outside our country—although some outside elements are supporting these destructive efforts—but from inside. And in most cases it is being conducted by segments of our society who have benefited most from this nation’s gifts; elected Democrat politicians. The very rich, now perhaps driven by some form of guilt, have decided to get aboard the “Socialist Express to Destruction,” along with some minority groups that believe in the Socialist lies, all of which have been tried in other parts of the world without success.

The actions of these groups in trying to affect change, are no different from similar groups working for Adolf Hitler’s thugs destroying opposing groups in Nazi Germany, nor from Stalin’s red tie brigades eliminating millions of opponents by sending them to the afterlife. Unfortunately, one surviving Socialist power player that has survived while the others have failed and died—Red China—is still alive and well and is doing its best to support the opponents of Freedom as well as weak-willed politicians, like Joseph Robinette Biden Jr., now claiming to be President Elect of the United States, and his misguided, lying Vice-President Elect, Kamala Devi Harris.

It is fascinating to note that, Kamala Harris, who has benefited from our great system of Liberal Education and managed to get a college education and a Law Degree, now wants to destroy our system and replace it with Socialism, aka Communism.

Now, Joe Biden’s story of conversion is somewhat different. From day one, Joe was in it for profit. Which is why, by 2021, he will have been in politics for 48 years. In all of those years, Joe has waffled back and forth in his beliefs. He is known for having sponsored pro-law-and-order legislation, which he now seems to want to disavow. In the past two decades, he has managed to become a multi-millionaire. He owns multiple large homes and other properties and investments. It is interesting to note that his wealth has risen quite a bit since his son Hunter got embroiled in questionable international trade with trading partners of unsavory repute. For instance, in Ukraine, Hunter got a sweet deal while becoming a board member of one of the largest natural-gas producers in that country, Burisma, for an unbelievable cut. The point being: Joe Biden’s Cartel has benefited from all of Hunter’s connections, as head of the Cartel.

Hunter’s latest money-making scheme now involves China. China has the Biden Cartel in its pockets and is only too happy to help in any way it can in the transformation of America from a leader of the Free World to a second-rate—actually, make that just one of many third-world—losers. Now, why would Joe Biden facilitate this hideous transformation effort? Money!

The awkward circumstances of all this might lead one to believe that our incoming president is nothing other than a lying, hypocritical, treasonous political hack who doesn’t care about anything but his own wealth. I would never say that of course, but some might be thinking that way!

Of course, along with the transformation of America into another third-world loser is not he only plot being cooked-up by the New Left—the one composed of far-left Democrats, Big Tech, Big Business, Big Money, BLM, and Antifa. They are also going full-throttle in a program of Vilification of Whites.  Of course, this is not straight forward. The Left is pitting white men against every other societal segment in America. The Leftist Intelligentsia, Hollywood, media, and the big businesses (money) that buy ads in the media, have all contributed to the vilification and demoralization of white men—particularly older white men—as being sexist, racist, stupid, and in general, despicable human beings in every commercial, tv show and even some movies.

Enter Red China. While we are dealing with our internal strife, they unleash their Equalizer: COVID-19, to add to our problems. While we are fighting the Pandemic and have our eyes off the ball, China sneaks in millions of dollars into the Left’s coffers and send in and army of Fang-Fangs to snare horny politicians in their web to further undermine our system. But that ain’t all! Did you know that, when the COVID-19 was released, CCP (Chinese Communist Party) shut down all incoming flights to China, while shipping off, hundreds of thousands of Chinese citizens to all parts of the globe, mostly the United States and Europe? Not only that but, we have several hundreds of thousands of Chinese students planted in our colleges and universities, for which the CCP pays those hallowed halls of academia, billions of dollars. So of course, they are not going to complain or report these incursions. Naturally, these students (I say Operatives) all return to China with our latest technological and engineering advancements and China doesn’t have to do any work to further their development. We have given them literally everything to beat us in the world economic decathlon!

If we don’t wake up here in America, we will one day  find ourselves as a second-rate colony of China. Red China will have conquered us without firing a shot, thanks to the Fifth Columnists in our government, like Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer, Swalwell, the Congressional Black Caucus and their enablers like George Soros. Add to that, people like Cuomo, Newsome, Jake Tapper, Jeff Zucker, BLM, Antifa, Silicon Valley, Big Money, Big Business, Hollywood and all the other Socialist/ Globalist operatives in our country, and we will have allowed our Founding Fathers’ great creation to be destroyed and turned into rubble and ashes on the trash heap of history. Do you all really want this to happen?

China’s communist dictator, Xi Jinping, boasted of his nation’s achievements in 2020, at his regular New Year’s Eve speech. Despite his words, the reality is it was a year defined by a deadly pandemic that Beijing created and could have prevented, if only, China was really the USA’s friend! Instead, they destroyed our economy, as well as that of Europe. Their virus killed over 300,000 Americans along with thousands of small businesses and restaurants.

It’s time to wake up, America. Red China is NOT our friend, and it appears right now, the Democrats aren’t either. Pay attention to events. Demand change. Make sure to support organization that stand for America and Americans. Don’t be deceived by false prophets like Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer. There is still hope, so long as we don’t fall asleep and allow the Socialists and Globalists win!

I wish you all a Happier 2021 and pray that God will help us get through this Socialist maelstrom and we come out victorious!
