A Serious Business….

Aviation Safety, Common Sense

 

As a pilot with over 45 years experience in aviation, nearly 37 of them as a pilot for a major international airline, I believe I have ample credibility for what I’m going to say in this post. The management of all the airlines currently operating in this country would disagree, but the facts bear me out.

As I have stated before on this site, flying, whether it be in a J-3 Piper Cub or the largest, most sophisticated airliner, is inherently dangerous. What keeps it safe, in the final analysis, is the skill of the pilots manipulating the controls in the cockpit. However, that is about to be called into question by events beyond our control.

As I told you, at the top of the list of those events, is a large number of age related mandatory retirements in the airline industry. Unlike in the past, there aren’t a lot of former military pilots in the hiring pool. There was a time, basically until the mid 1960s, when military trained pilots were the backbone of the new hire pilot group in the airline industry, with over 90% of that group being ex-military, and only 10% coming from a civil aviation background. That time is long past, and the percentages today are essentially reversed.

With the cost of civilian pilot training constantly on the rise, due to the cost of suitable training aircraft, and skyrocketing fuel costs etc, even the civilian trained pilot pool is shrinking. As such, virtually all the airlines have had to lower their standards, accepting pilot applicants with much fewer flight hours logged. This hasn’t happened since the late 1960s and early 70s, when the Viet Nam War was at its height, and military pilots were having their tours of duty involuntarily extended.

To deal with this problem, the airlines are beginning to establish their own flight schools, to train their future pilots basically from the ground up, a practice foreign airlines have used for many years, with varying degrees of success. However, as I stated in a previous post, there is another very dangerous factor which has entered the mix. Certain “woke” airline CEOs are directing their HR departments to develop a quota system to insure that there is “equity” in the pilot hiring process. In other words, it is more important that the makeup of the cockpit, is politically correct than competent. 

For instance, take United Airlines. Scott Kirby, the United CEO, has stated that of the projected 5000 pilots United expects to hire by 2030, a minimum of 50% of them must be women or people of color. Unfortunately, other airlines might go down this path as they attempt to curry favor with the Biden Administration. This brings up another factor. If the available applicants don’t meet United’s current minimum standards? No problem. Just lower the standards to achieve the desired equity goal. 

Pete Buttigieg, the admittedly woke head of the Department of Transportation, heartily supports Phil Washington, the Biden nominee for the new FAA Administrator. Not surprising, since Buttigieg had no experience which would qualify him to be the head of the Department of Transportation. Why would he be skeptical of Washington, who knows nothing about airplanes or aviation? Washington is an African-American, which checks a very important box in a woke administrations goal of “equity”. Competence be damned.

Beyond the question of future pilot competence, the recent rash of near-miss incidents at our nations airports brings into question the standards employed in air traffic controller hiring and training. Add this to sub-standard infrastructure at many of our largest airports, and you have a serious potential air safety problem bubbling just below the surface. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that all of this will blow up in our face if not addressed, and soon. People will die. That is almost inevitable. This is a serious business.

Tombstone Legislation

Aviation Safety, Common Sense

On March 27, 1977, the worst accident in aviation history occurred when a KLM 747 on takeoff ran into a Pan American 747 which was back taxiing on the runway in Tenerife, Canary Islands after landing. 583 people lost their lives in the crash. The horrific crash was caused by what is referred to as a “runway incursion”. Simply defined, this is an aircraft operating on an active runway without clearance from the tower or ground control.

On Friday, January 13th, there was a very serious runway incursion at JFK International Airport in New York, which might easily taken the lives of the hundreds of passengers and crew on board the aircraft involved.

Having flown numerous models of airliners out of JFK from 1964 through 1999 I am very familiar with that airport, its assets and its limitations. There are many of both.

On the positive side, it was the first major airport in this country to have separate terminals for the various major airlines. American, Eastern, Pan American, TWA and United all had their own facilities. Others, such as Delta, Northwest, Northeast and others, shared terminals.  So did all the foreign carriers, in the International Arrivals building. 

In addition, the “Big Five” (American, Eastern, Pan Am, TWA and United) all had large hangars and catering facilities where their aircraft were maintained and thousands of inflight meals were prepared daily.

As the airline industry expanded, airports world wide increased their capacity to handle the additional traffic with more ramp space, taxiways and of course runways. Airplanes, from the time of the Wright Flyer, takeoff and land into the wind, so runway construction is dictated by the prevailing winds of the location. Since those frequently change seasonally, having a large footprint to build on is vital.

The runways at JFK have been constructed to maximize departures and arrivals regardless of the wind direction and velocity on a given day. As can be imagined, the taxiway patterns constructed to access these runways are VERY complex.

Aircraft of various sizes and weights require runways of different length to operate, depending on the wind speed and direction. on a given day. Therefore it, might be necessary to utilize multiple runways, taking off and landing in different directions, to efficiently utilize the capacity of the airport at any given time. That means that it might be necessary for aircraft to taxi across a runway which is currently being used for landings and takeoffs, ie: an “active runway”. The possible safety implications are obvious, and they are compounded by the time of day and weather conditions. Continue reading Tombstone Legislation →

Friendly Fire Isn’t!

Common Sense, Ethical Behavior, World Politics

There is an old saying in the military. “Friendly Fire Isn’t”.

Pity the poor bastards watching “short rounds” from their own artillery falling closer and closer to their foxholes. It happens, and far more often than people realize. That concept can be expanded to what is happening currently in our country. I can’t imagine anything more tragic than a group of Americans being killed by a weapon we manufactured and supplied to former allies. As I said in a recent post, that is a distinct possibility in the not too distant future. 

Attacks on electrical substations in Oregon, Washington and North Carolina in the last few weeks bring another serious threat to the nation to the forefront. It has been know for years that our electrical “grid” is extremely vulnerable to natural events such as solar flares, hurricanes and even snow storms, as well as physical assaults on sub-stations. Incredibly, the focus of the Biden government seems to be that these incidents may be the work of “Domestic Terrorists” (to them, that’s anyone who disagrees with the Democratic Party). To me, the threats are far more likely to be the work of international groups sworn to destroy our nation at any cost. The Taliban, Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah and the Iranian Mullahs for example.

Any one of those groups are dedicated to our destruction after all, so It would be foolish to ignore them while we search for right wing bogeymen at home. You know, the MAGA hat wearing, sign waving thugs who verbally attack school board members at their meetings. Obviously, they are capable of anything, even taking down our electrical power grid in their angst. These are the folks the full force of the Biden DOJ areisn get trashed in the process, who cares. Hell, it was written by a bunch of rich old white slave owners, right? It needs to be rewritten to match the needs of the 21st Century. It doesn’t even mention Transgenders and Double Latte Machiatos for God’s sake!

So, the Lefty Lemmings aren’t just satisfied to jump off the cliff by themselves, they demand that we all join them in their suicidal leap of faith. Well guess what buttercups? We’re not coming along, and when you hit that freezing water we’re not going to toss you a life preserver either. You’re on your own. Continue reading Friendly Fire Isn’t! →

E Pluribus Unum?

Common Sense, Ethical Behavior

It is becoming clearer every day that the America I grew up in is slowly but surely slipping away. If something is not done, it may be gone in my lifetime, and as I just turned eighty, that probably isn’t very far away. If the current trends are not reversed, we will end up with two diametrically opposed Americas, and that will almost inevitably lead to civil war. Once again, it will be a war against slavery, but of a very different kind. Our country enslaved by an out of control federal government.

Probably, as history has often taught us, it will have begun because of a very benign event, and center around a single individual. That person’s beliefs sounded quite reasonable when he came onto the national stage, but slowly morphed into something very different, and extremely dangerous to our way of life. His voice was almost soothing in tone, and the delivery of his message almost siren like in effect. However, like the “Sirens” of Greek mythology, his real goal was to drag our ship of state onto the rocks of national destruction, to be rebuilt in a very different form from the wreckage.  In many ways he, and the minions who follow in lock step behind him, have done just that. They have:

“Fundamentally Transformed America”

That man of course is Barack Obama, and his minions are the loyal members of the modern day Democratic Party.  Continue reading E Pluribus Unum? →

Into What?

Common Sense, Ethical Behavior, World Politics

In 2007 and 2008 when Barack Obama was on the campaign trail (that’s him without his hand over his heart as the National Anthem was being played at a 2008 rally in New Mexico) I listened carefully to his speeches and was a bit more than just concerned by their content, I was alarmed.

Though he tried to distance himself from his pastor, Jeremiah Wright, He had attended that church for many years, and must have been there when Wright made his infamous comment from the pulpit:

“God Bless America? No, no, no. Not God Bless America. God damn America. It’s in the Bible!

It became clear to me that this mixed race individual had serious problems concerning race relations in general, and his attitudes towards white people in pparticular. His wife Michelle echoed that attitude when she stated after his nomination to be the Democratic Party candidate for president in 2008 that:

“For the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback.”

Considering her very privileged life up to that point, that was an outrageous statement. 

As the months dragged on, Obama continued to make statements which revealed the man behind the myth that was being created by an adoring media. Instead of bringing the various races together as simply non-hyphenated Americans, his attitudes and policies would most likely drag us farther apart.

Finally, on Oct. 30, 2008, on the cusp of his historic presidential election, Obama stated, in a speech given in Columbia, Missouri:

“We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” 

My initial reaction was, and still is:

“Into What?”

That became clear after his inauguration by the choice of his cabinet members, particularly for Attorney General. Eric Holder, the first black to hold that position, stated publicly:

“Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial, we have always been, and we, I believe, continue to be, in too many ways, a nation of cowards.”

That brought us all together for sure.

The other thing that bothered me was Obamas choice for a running mate. Joe Biden, a Senator from the tiny state of Delaware was chosen for several reasons, the first of which was his race and the second that he wasn’t a threat to the power base Obama planned on building. Known for his many verbal gaffs and propensity for exaggerating his accomplishments, Biden was just “Crazy old Uncle Joe”.

So, during eight years of the Obama Administration, we watched fuel prices rise to the highest point on record up to that time. That of course affected the price of everything else. Inflation raged, but Obama could and did blame everything on the cards he had been left by his predecessor, George W. Bush. It was “racist” Ito imply anything else.

Biden chose not to run for president in 2016 after the untimely death of his eldest son, leaving that task to Hillary Clinton, who was declared by the media to be a shoo in. Unfortunately for her, she believed her own propaganda, and even with the false Russia collusion charges cooked up by her campaign organization and the DNC, she still lost to political novice Donald Trump.

Now, the political machine led by Valerie Jarrett went into high gear. With Obama the self proclaimed leader of political “resistance” to the Trump Administration, the next four years were constant chaos. It was amazing how much Trump got done with the political hounds of hell released by the DNC constantly nipping at his heels.

Now, probably pressured by his wife, brother and remaining son, Joe Biden was persuaded to run against Trump in 2020. The election was one of the most contentious in history, with Biden supposedly winning with the largest number of votes in history, even though he couldn’t attract a hundred people to any of his rallies while Trump was speaking before tens of thousands at his. “Nothing suspicious here” screamed the DNC and the media. “Move along, move along.”

So here we are, fourteen years later. Fuel prices at another all time high, once again dependent on OPEC for oil and China for virtually everything else.  31 TRILLION dollars in debt and threatened for the first time since the fall of the Soviet Union by a nuclear holocaust. In a recession, although Biden won’t admit it in his increasingly addled state of mind. I finally have the answer to my question,: “Into What?” 

Quite simply into a nation in decline financially and morally. Into a nation racially at odds with itself, being pushed towards a race war if we’re not careful. Into a nation where our Constitution isn’t worth the parchment it is written on in the minds of the Democrat leftists who control that party. Finally into a nation being led by a man in way over his head. As was commented by Barack Obama, who should know: 

“Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f*** things up”

We’re seeing that in action, aren’t we?

None Are So Blind…

Common Sense, Ethical Behavior, World Politics

The phrase “None are so blind as those who will not see” is often quoted as biblical text. In fact, it isn’t found in the Bible. However, Jesus, in Matthew 13:13 said that he spoke to the people in parables “Because seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not.” Examples of that truth surround us these days, particularly in the arena of politics.

Politicians lie, and rank and file members of their political party blindly accept it as the truth. They have, in effect, abandoned common sense and subscribed to a new religion, that of their political parties dogma.

Although Democrats would have you believe that the tens of millions of Americans who voted for President Trump are simply duped members of a political cult, I believe the opposite is the truth. One must only look at the historical facts, which are easily verified, to understand that the Democratic Party, from its very inception, has been and is today a chameleon, hiding its true beliefs and aspirations behind a carefully crafted curtain of lies and distortions.

The Founding Fathers realized that the Republic they created could not exist without a population of religious and moral individuals. That’s why they included in the First Amendment to our constitution the guarantees of freedom of speech and religion, as well as the rights of citizens to peacefully confront their elected representatives and redress their grievances.

If they have their way, the Democrat politicians will abolish those rights and many others. By their actions, they demonstrate that fact on a daily basis. The only question is how have they been able to convince their followers that this is the correct course of action? The simple answer to that question is by controlling the dissemination of what the public is allowed to hear about the critical issues we face as a nation.

Dictators have long known that if they are to control their countrymen, they must first control the news media. Joseph Goebbels, the chief propagandist for the Nazi Party, said it all when he observed: “A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth”.  That is exactly what the Democrats and their co-conspirators in the media have done for a very long time. They have become experts at the practice.

A violent thug like George Floyd becomes a hero of the black community. The violent riots and looting egged on by groups like Black Lives Matter after his death are deemed “mostly peaceful,” while the mostly peaceful protesters at the Capitol building on January 6, 2021 are called “violent insurrectionists”, painted as such with a very broad brush because of the actions of a tiny minority present that day. The very real possibility that violent minority was in fact instigated by FBI agents or their surrogates is ignored. It doesn’t fit the desired narrative.

Democratic controlled cities like Newark, NJ and New York City have produced Public Service Announcements to tell people what to do in case of a nuclear attack. Suggestions are to “go indoors and remain there, remove and discard your clothing, and then shower and shampoo your hair”. This might be worthwhile if you were in a suburb, and not under ground zero of a Hiroshima/Nagasaki sized bomb in 1945. However, it is estimated that a modern hydrogen bomb delivered by a Russian missile would make a radioactive hole a hundred feet deep covering most of the five boroughs of New York City.

We find ourselves in a very dangerous place because of the actions of the Biden Administration. We’re closer to a nuclear war with Russia than at any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1963, and we’re being led by a dementia crippled 80 year old with a giggling, race baiting idiot waiting in the wings to replace him.

Inflation continues to strain the pocketbooks of average Americans, with food and fuel prices at all time highs, and about to go higher, due to the actions of OPEC and the refusal of Biden to ramp up our own energy production on an emergency basis. Instead of admitting that his policies have failed miserably, and dealing with the self created crisis, Biden bumbles on, doubling down on the insanity.

After he won in 2008, newly elected Barack Obama reminded the American people that “elections have consequences”. He was right. On the other hand, allowing election irregularities to place a totally incompetent regime in power has consequences as well. We are watching the destruction of our great country by vindictive, power hungry fools.

We must all pray that the madness will be checked on November 8th at the polls. If it isn’t, we are left with very few options.

“When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty.”

That’s a quote attributed to Thomas Jefferson. Some “fact checkers” deny that. If he didn’t say it, I wish he had, because it is undeniably true. Right now, due to the actions taken by the Biden Administration to weaponize various federal agencies against the people, many Americans do fear the government. That must stop. Too many of our forbearers gave up their lives to give us the liberties we have previously taken for granted. If reason doesn’t prevail, some of us may be called upon to do likewise. If Americans can’t understand that, it is because, as Jesus said:

“Seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not.”

We must open their eyes and ears to the truth. We must stop the left from Stealing America!

Better Pragmatic Than Extinct

Common Sense, Ethical Behavior, World Politics

On March 13th of this year I made a post to this site titled “Better Red Than Dead!”. Here’s a link to that post:

https://wp.me/p7RFUu-1eF

In it, I expressed the opinion that even if the Russians used tactical nuclear weapons after their invasion of Ukraine, the U.S. would not respond in kind, especially under the Biden Administration. The events of the last couple of weeks have caused me to reassess that position.

It should be increasingly clear to anyone who is capable of unbiasedly viewing the actions of Joe Biden that he is increasingly unable to make the critical decisions our presidents must make if they are to keep our citizens out of harms way. A man who can’t remember for a few weeks that a very supportive member of congress has tragically died in a car accident.  A person to whose family he sent personal condolences at the time, is increasingly debilitated by the symptoms of dementia or Alzheimers Disease.

Because of that fact, there is someone else at the helm of our government, and it isn’t the vice-president, who has proven herself to be, if anything, more feckless in her behavior that he is. So who is in charge, and what is their agenda for the nation?

Is it White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain? If so, do we want an un-elected individual making what are life and death decisions which could spell the end of our nation, and indeed possibly the whole human race? For make no mistake, that is exactly what might be the consequence if we push Vladimir Putin too hard in the next days and weeks.

A war, any war we allow us to become involved in, has consequences for our country that go far beyond the financial costs involved. The effusion of American blood, as well as that of our allies and indeed our adversaries, is no small matter. I we decide to move in that direction we must assure ourselves that it is indeed not only a just cause, but a justifiable one.

Although we, as the sole remaining “Super-Power” at the end of World War Two, gradually took on the mantle of being the “World’s Policeman”, were we justified in doing so? We have not won a single conflict in the last seventy-seven years with perhaps the exception of the First Gulf War against the forces of Sadam Hussein. However, because of the refusal of Bush ’41 to finish the job, even that was in fact a draw, with the dictator left still in power, and creating a situation where we had to once again go to war against Iraq a decade later, at much greater cost in blood and national treasure. Our disastrous twenty year long military adventure in Afghanistan ended last year not only with the enemy intact, but indeed much stronger militarily than we found them when we arrived after attacks of 9/11.

Now we are told that it is a vital national interest of this country that we defend the right of Ukraine to maintain her current borders. It is much more important to do that, we are told,  than to defend our own. The fact that in the process, we are moving increasingly closer to an open armed conflict with a country that has over six thousand nuclear warheads, many of them pointed at our country, doesn’t seem to matter to whomever is in control of the Oval Office.

The national media continues to carry the water of the Democratic Party and the Biden Administration. Americans have not been told the truth about the dangers we face if we continue to support Ukraine and demand regime change in Russia. Vladimir Putin has nothing to lose and everything to gain by standing firm against Biden’s threats. Our country however, has virtually nothing to gain by not pushing for a negotiated settlement between Ukraine and Russia. Although it is no longer a case of the American Left saying “Better Red Than Dead”, it is instead more correctly “Better Pragmatic Than Extinct”. A nuclear holocaust is forever.

An Animal!

Common Sense, Ethical Behavior

The individual you see above is an animal, not a human being. Even stating that may be a disservice to the rest of the animal kingdom, who generally don’t kill without reason. This thing did.

I will not honor IT by mentioning it’s name. You can look that up if you wish. IT executed, not killed, EXECUTED a convenience store clerk in Tupelo, Mississippi on September 11th. The clerk, Parmvir Singh, did nothing to provoke such an act. He was completely cooperative throughout the event, but that didn’t prevent this thing from walking up behind him and shooting him in the back of the head as he sat on the ground as instructed to do so.

Soon, we will begin to hear the normal drivel. He’s a “Good Boy”, his mother will say. They’re only picking on him because he’s black. Black Lives Matter and the Southern Poverty Law Center will demand he be handled with kid gloves and given a “fair” trial followed by a light sentence.

Even if he is convicted of first degree murder, it will be many years before he can be executed for the brutal crime he committed. The fact that it was all videotaped by the security cameras non-withstanding, untold taxpayer dollars will be wasted on his prosecution, and defense if he ends up with court appointed layers.

All this will not be lost on the hundreds of thousands of young black men who are terrorizing not only our major cities, but smaller ones as well. Witness Tupelo. Although the usual suspects may claim this is a “racist” statement, it is not. These criminals are threatening people of all races, not just whites. In fact, on average they are a greater threat to their own communities.

Meanwhile, Parmvir Singh is gone forever, mourned by his family and friends. It is becoming self evident that in many cases the police will not be there to defend us in our hour of need. Meanwhile, the Democrats scream for more gun control and downsizing our law enforcement agencies.

Unfortunately, the criminals like the thing that murdered Mr. Singh will not turn in their weapons. The “Sheeple” will only become more defenseless. Don’t become one of them. Get proper handgun training and obtain a legal Concealed Carry Permit. Work with your local law enforcement agencies, particularly your County Sheriff. Help them stop the crime wave. In this increasingly dangerous period in our country, not to do so is almost tantamount to suicide.

37°15’35”N 107°4’35”W

Aviation Safety, Common Sense, Ethical Behavior, World Politics

I spent a great deal of my aviation career flying overwater routes. When you are out of sight of land, it is vital to be able determine your exact position in latitude and longitude. If you don’t know where you are, you can’t determine how to get to your destination. That’s also true over land masses, but generally there are navigational aids to use for that purpose.

In the earliest days of aviation, these weren’t electronic, but rather a system of flashing red lights called “beacons” spaced along given routes called “airways”. They were quite literally highways in the sky. There were also airport beacons which flashed alternately green and white. One alternating green and white designated a civilian airfield and two quick whites followed by a green meant it was military.

The only problem with this system was that it only worked after dark and in visual conditions.  Any restriction to visibility, such as rain, snow or fog greatly degraded the system or rendered it totally useless. Later, ground based electronic guidance became available which could be used even when you were in the clouds, with zero visibility.

That was improved by “Inertial” navigation systems which used gyroscopes and computers which could be programed with route “waypoints” to get you from point A to point B with no ground inputs required. The latest version of this concept uses input from navigation satellites, and is extremely accurate. However, that system still requires inputs from the pilot to reach the destination. Improper inputs can have fatal results.

I liken what is happening politically in our country right now to a series of faulty inputs into our nation’s navigational computer. Quite simply, we have lost “situational awareness” and are headed towards a mountain peak that will kill everyone on board unless we once again figure out where we are, and where we want to go in safety.

Currently, on our trip around the nation’s heartland, we have arrived at 37°15’35”N 107°4’35”W.  In layman’s terms that’s Pagosa Springs, Colorado, a small mountain town, population 1571 as of the 2020 census. It is located in a beautiful valley at an altitude of 7500 feet above sea level, and surrounded by very high mountains which are part of the Rocky Mountain chain.

Both my wife and I have Concealed Weapons Permits issued by South Carolina. They are recognized on a reciprocal basis by all but a few states, mostly Democrat controlled. Unfortunately, Colorado isn’t one of them. However, “Open Carry”of firearms is permitted, I believe,  everywhere in Colorado, with the exception of the City and County of Denver, a liberal bastion and the state capitol.

That means that we can wear our guns openly in view of everyone, but not concealed by a garment or specialized holster. This is a strange concept if the intent of prohibiting concealed carry is not to have gun-phobic individuals terrified by the mere sight of a firearm. Back to Pagosa Springs. I visited a small local gun store and talked to a gentleman who worked there about the safety of his town.

Surprisingly, he said that like most other places in the nation, his town isn’t as safe as it once was. In fact, he said, he estimated that something north of 85% of the locals had a CWP and carry on a regular basis. That is an astounding figure. If a small town in the mountains of Colorado isn’t considered safe by its residents, how must we view the rest of the country, particularly the larger metropolitan areas?

The answer to that question is obvious. They grow more dangerous by the day. That’s an inconvenient truth that can’t be denied or covered up. Our open borders, particularly our southern border, are allowing people and substances into our country that shouldn’t be allowed in. The Biden Administration has invited people to break our immigration laws with impunity. Why should they stop there? Many of these illegal immigrants come from  countries where corruption is the norm, not the exception, and we are allowing them to bring There, Here!

The “Homeless” in many cases choose to be so. Many are addicted to drugs, are mentally ill, and/or are convicted criminals released early from prisons and left unmonitored by leftist authorities. Dystopic movies like “Escape from New York” and “Escape from Los Angeles” are becoming a near reality in 2022. Because of the policies of leftist politicians in states like California, Oregon and Washington, the chaos they have created is spreading like a plague to bordering states like Arizona, Nevada and Idaho. The tent cities are spreading anywhere that local governments will permit them.

While organizations like ANTIFA and BLM are promoting violence and unrest, our DOJ under Merrick Garland is attacking conservative Americans who refuse to accept the results of an obviously flawed 2020 election cycle. Social Media sites like Facebook and Twitter are data mining posts from users which contain “questionable” content (and who gets to determine what that is?) and turning them over to the FBI, who then harasses the supposed miscreants. This is not Constitutional or American behavior. November 8th may indeed be the harbinger of the future of our country. If the Biden Regime is allowed to continue unchecked until January 2025 and perhaps beyond, the America I grew up in may be lost forever. That would be a catastrophe of immense proportions. The choice is clear. Live in peace and freedom, or surrender to despotism and fear. What do You want to pass on to future generations? We need a navigational course correction before we hit the mountain we’re approaching, and we need it quick.

A Satanic Cult?

Common Sense, Ethical Behavior

I have stated before on this site that I agree with the concept that the mark of a people is the  country they leave to their children and grandchildren.  By any rational measure we must realize that Americans are currently failing, miserably failing, in that task.

In truth, not all Americans are guilty of this.  It is a cancer which had its birth in our Democrat controlled cities and states.  Like all cancers, if ignored, it will metastasize and destroy the host.

In truth, a majority of Americans would oppose the radical policies of the left if they knew what they are.  Unfortunately, the fact that the majority of the mass media outlets are totally controlled by the Democrats prevents honest, open debate on the issues.  The Democratic politicians lie, and the media declares it to be factual.  Add to this there is an unwillingness to call out the left because of fear of being targeted or “cancelled” by a screaming mob.  It is said that truth dies in darkness.  If that’s true, it is also true that it dies in silence.

Too many leaders of the Republican Party have failed in their duty to not just be members of the “Loyal Opposition”, British Parliamentary style, but to actively and forcibly expose what the Democrats are trying to do.  Quite simply stated, that is to “Fundamentally Transform America” into a quasi-European socialist state, governed not by our Constitutional Laws, but rather by those of the European Union and the United Nations.

Knowing that our Founding Fathers wanted this nation to be founded and governed by Judeo-Christian principles, the Democratic Party has become something akin to a Satanic  Cult, bent on destroying this country as we have known it, and turning it into something our forefathers wouldn’t even recognize.  We simply must not allow that to happen.

Joe Biden’s speech in front of Independence Hall in Philadelphia last Thursday night should serve to shock us out of our malaise and understand where he, and more importantly the Democratic Party, want to take us.  In front of a blood red illuminated building which formerly stood as a symbol of our nations independence, Biden railed against the tens of millions of Americans who didn’t cast their votes for him in 2020.  Excoriating them as a threat to American democracy, he basically called them traitors and insurrectionists.  What’s next, a call for them to be rounded up and taken to concentration camps?

Make no mistake. If the Democrats thought they could pull that off, they would, and if they aren’t confronted and stopped, they may yet try to do so.  That is when, as it did at Lexington and Concord, the resistance against tyranny and despotism will boil over.  The Sodom and Gomorrah of transsexuals, perverts, criminals and race baiters will find themselves overwhelmed by Americans who know what this country has always stood for, want it back, and are willing to fight in whatever way necessary to accomplish that goal..

Biden, and the people who prop him up, used members of our military, specifically United States Marines in their dress blues, as props standing behind him during his clearly politically motivated diatribe.  That alone is against the law, and they know it.  It was intended to intimidate Republicans and Independents during the run up to next Novembers election.  The American public is aware of that, and it will fail.

The Democratic Party, for which a case can be made has indeed morphed into some sort of Satanic Cult, should ponder the words from Hosea 8:7 in the Old Testament Bible: 

“For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.”
