American Grit & Grace

 


Americans have grit. To steal a phrase from Billy Joel: “We ain't too pretty, we ain't too proud. We might be laughing a bit too loud, but that never hurt no one...”


That's why we do not tolerate tyranny. Ever! This Biden regime, or should I say the O'Biden regime must be gutted from the top down. The 'elites' need to be devalued and put in their place, under no uncertain terms. They, we, NEED accountability.


They have not just stolen our money, lied to us, enriched themselves by laundering large amounts of our tax money, so they did not have to report where the money went, they have sold us out, hook, line and sinker to the CCP and then have colluded with Communist infiltrators, plotted and planned on having three quarters of the entire planet dead and removed from the earth as common 'eaters'.

They have mandated our children have the COVID kill shot before being allowed to go to school, demanding our military, highly trained personnel, either take the jab or be decommissioned with a dishonorable discharge. They've weakened our military with WOKE and transgender bullshit, they have sterilized our reproduction system, and are destroying our children's chance of ever having children by mutilating their bodies with 'transgender care' and sterilizing their reproductive organs with chemicals and hormones. They've given us blood clots through mandated C.O.V.I.D. kill shots (I refuse to call it a vaccine.).


COVID-19 equals Certificate of Vaccination I.D.-AI

--- 19 = AI because in numerology 1=A & 9=I.


All this to ensure most of the people on the planet have had their death jab. The blood clots they are giving us are like rubber in our veins, and will kill us with a heart attack or stroke. They've taken over our medical care with big pharma being the recipient of the good fortune of keeping us ill, all the time.


They're selling our farmland to China-CCP, and I would not be surprised if they had their bullies, Antifa and BLM burn down Food processing plants, so those of us that escape the kill shot, will die of starvation. They've already told the farmers they can't use fertilizer to grow their crops any more or use the gasoline powered machines that till the earth and enable them to mass produce food for the United States and the world.


They have taken everything and anything that has meaning in our lives and shit all over it, or used it as toilet paper. They've insulted us, called us names that they, themselves really are. They have taken over our schools, teaching our children to hate their parents, hate their country, as well as their religion and themselves. They have taken over our media, our entertainment industry, our court systems, and destroyed them. Teaching and repeating over and over their lies and deceit.


Our sovereignty, our personal sovereignty and integrity is the only thing standing in their way to complete and total powered control and the annihilation of the human race as a species. And now they are trying to take that too, by giving the power to the W.H.O., The World Health Organization, to enforce we the people to obey all laws they decide to make us live by, when they release another virus into our societies. When that happens, COVID policies will seem like child's play.


They have also taken our vote away from us by cheating and stealing every election they can get their hands on. When I hear the news, no matter what legacy channel is broadcasting, it's the same gas lighting on every channel, like they are all reading a script. The same script. They make me sick with their arrogance, their deceit and lies. How can you tell they are lying? They open their mouths. And their voices are all whining about how scared they are that democracy will cease to exist. Maybe their idea of democracy, “All for them and none for us” democracy, will end I hope. By the way, we are not a democracy, we are a Democratic Republic. They don't deserve, nor do they have a right or reason to put themselves above us. But they do.


They keep intentionally forgetting; “government is instituted by the people to protect our divine given rights” and that is their ONLY job. They only have one. To protect the American people. They are whom we need protection from. They have nothing but contempt for us as 'the people'. They have committed horrific crimes against us. It's time they were confronted by us, and took responsibility for their actions and crimes against humanity.


If not now, then when? If not by you, me, us; then by whom?


We need to get mad, really angry, put our foot down and refuse to take their tyranny any longer. We can never surrender, take no prisoners, and we can never, ever give up. We win, if we don't ever give up. There is no compromise. They win or we do. We are the many, they are the few. They will continue to abuse us, we the people, only as long as we, the people, allow them to.

There you have it, there it is and so it goes.

If Not for Freedom and Liberty?











If Not for Freedom and Liberty?
 

A long time ago a country was born 
with an aim of all are created equal. 
It took us a hundred plus years to see 
that happen, but happen it did eventually. 

We have never been perfect, 
but what country is? 
If we aim for our ideals 
is that not what we are? 

Somewhere along the way 
the people got lazy and 
uninterested in fulfilling 
their civic duty to keep our 
political stage clean. 

If we want We the People to govern, 
then we need to do so and not let the 
politician do what he wants, but give 
our consent for all actions. We have 
forgotten that We the People rule. 

What this means is we are the boss. 
But if we don't tell the politicians what 
to do, they do as they wish, instead. 

To quote a relative of mine, 
“Freedom is Everybody's Job!” 
So unless we want to allow this 
country to be driven off a cliff 
into the abyss, we need to wake up 
and realize, 
we the people are in charge, 
so we need to start acting like it. 

What have you done to take personal 
responsibility for the election of 
representatives in congress? 
What about our governors or sheriffs? 
Our school boards and town committees? 
Have you tried to self govern and elect 
whom you think will do a good job? 

We were given a system of self governance. 
It was bequeathed to us and we have let it fall. 
Yes our politicians are corrupt, but we allowed 
them to be so, because we take no interest in 
what they do or what we do to make it all better 
or worse. 

If we don't hold them accountable for their actions, 
they commit the same crimes again. 

It's time we the people took an inventory of ourselves 
and then of our leaders that we elect. Then we need to 
decide if we want to keep our liberties and freedoms or 
let our government make all the decisions for us. 

Just remember the many that have died 
for our freedoms, the many that have died 
to keep this country intact. 
What would they want us to do with our country? 
What did they die for if not for freedom and liberty? 

Inspired by: "The stories and sacrifices typical of those who risked everything to sign the Declaration of Independence. These men were not wild-eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged:" "For the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of the Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor." ----

We just need to convince people it's past time to get up, stand up, and speak up or they will be shut up, for good.

WE ALL LOST! Many Just don’t know it yet!


The following is an article I found on the internet that was posted to a site that I joined.  But when I tried to comment, it kept giving me the error that I had to be logged in to comment.  Needless to say, I was logged in.  I have posted the Article, the reference to the site address and my comments below:

https://allsolutionsnetwork.org/blog/we-all-lost-many-just-dont-know-it-yet/

WE ALL LOST! Many Just don’t know it yet!

Please realize this IS NOT a conservative post NOR a liberal post.  It’s an American Post.  What is happening right now is more dangerous than most people realize.

TO ALL WHO BELIEVE THAT WHAT IS CURRENTLY HAPPENING IS A GOOD THING…
Remember this statement… YOU LOST TOO! You just don’t know it yet.  “USEFUL IDIOTS” That’s what leftist elites have always called those who support the actions we are seeing today i.e. cutting off of communication, suppression of speech, erasing of history, punishing contrary ideas and political philosophies, etc.  . (Not my words-theirs; research it).

When they no longer need you to retain power, you’ll be next. Your wants, needs and desires will matter only to the extent they further enable their relentless pursuit of ABSOLUTE DICTATORIAL CONTROL.
Remember the history of China? Russia, Venezuela, Iran, N Korea?… Unbridled, ABSOLUTE POWER is always the objective of leftists and it is always achieved the same way…

Important video of what is happening now CLICK HERE!

POWER CORRUPTS… ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY!
Does anyone really think ours liberal leaders are different?  Can’t we see a pattern? It always starts the same way…

  • Take advantage of or even Create class and cultural divides   
  • Say the “right” thing rather than the “true” thing. 
  • Inspire with soaring rhetoric.   (Obama was a master of this).
  • Make promises that every human being would love to see come to fruition… Beautiful promises are much more effective than “uncomfortable” truths.  

It doesn’t matter that the promises are blatantly impossible to keep and never come to fruition.  The lies garnered the support of the masses so it doesn’t matter… They have complete control and make the same promises and create the same straw man fears as the last and get elected again.

ASK YOURSELF-  Why is that the most violent, crime ridden, poverty stricken cities have for decades been under the total control of the same party???  Are those leaders, really that stupid?  Or is it by design?  Think about it… don’t they find or create victims, promise solutions that they NEVER deliver but still get the vote?  Are they participating in the continuance of perpetual victimhood and fear, in order to keep their jobs and power?

BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY WISE UP?  WHAT OF FUTURE ELECTIONS?
 What STALIN SAID:
It doesn’t matter WHO votes…
It only matters WHO COUNTS THE VOTES.
That is what the history they are currently rewriting and erasing tells us.

  • Consider our most recent election:
    • WHO COUNTED THE VOTES?
    • Who prevented proper validation of signatures?
    • Who prevented an oversight of the counting process?
    • Who insisted on the creation of a UNIVERSAL MAILIN VOTING SYSTEM that literally made the proper validation and tracking of legal vs illegal votes impossible?
    • Who had counties with more votes counted than votes actually made?

If we AMERICANS do not somehow get the leftists out of power and again RESTORE a reasonable political balance… 

If not, even those who are ecstatic now, will soon realize that like A short sighted drug addict; incapable of focusing on anything but their next fix… they will soon be hit in the face with the visceral understanding that GETTING WHAT YOU WANT IS, NOT ONLY, NOT ALWAYS A GOOD THING… IT CAN BECOME YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE!


My Comments
Regarding "We All Lost"  article...I noted that this was written on January 11, 2021.  The atmosphere surrounding our political scene has gotten much worse since this article was written.  Now, because Biden knows he cannot beat Trump at the ballot, because we don't have the conveinance of a 

'Plandemic" to cause massive mail in voting without signature verification; Biden, and the Biden Administration (Whom I think is actually the Obama administration, for his third term),  are trying to put Trump in jail for 700+ years for non crimes, lies and fake evidence they are presenting.  


People who only did their civic duty of protesting a cheating party  for throwing the election, are in the DC jail, and have been in solitary confinement for over 3 years, for simply showing up at the rally.  I've seen the footage, and January 6th, 2021 WAS NOT AN INSURRECTION!.  But the leftist marxists can not and  will not show the true facts of this illegal committee, staffed by all democrats and only 2 replublican members present.  (both Trump haters).  


Fauci has lied to the entire human race about vaccines, the definition of a vaccine, and people are dropping like flies that take their 2nd, 3rd and  4th boosters of genetic engineering experimental research drug.  The entire world has been the guenny pig for his "gain of function" research.  


We have the "thought police" now, with the FBI and the CIA and every alphabet soup agency out there has the ability to spy on any  American at any time, without a warrant.  And they do, all the time.  


We have 10 million+ illegal immigrates in the central part of our country, and from coast to coast, being bussed and flown into our country without consent or permission from the American people, immunization, back ground check or otherwise.  They are our replacements to vote for the democratic party because no American in their right mind would vote for the democrat party, unless they're dead, or their ballot was printed out from a computer program.  Those persons who are in on the betrayal and treason of our country, and the marxists are pushing for all of these illegals to have the right to vote. 


We are being censored constantly, and the Democratic party was corrupted by Bill Clinton who was responsible for starting the mass migration of our industrial jobs to China, then the rino Bush, the Obama's and now the Bidens are sleeping with the CCP.  We don't win wars if our Commandar in Chief is taking orders from our enemies.  


The above is only a partial list of what is happening in and to our country at the moment.  It would take me days to write the entire accumulation of corruption that is happening all over the United States of America.


I have come to the conclusion that we no longer live in a free country, but a dictatorship run by the elite few that want 65% of us dead to reduce the population, and the remainder will be uneducated and docile slaves working for the Deep State of our country.   For me, this is a very precarious and sad reality of what has happened to our country.

The TRUMP Rules: Congressional Reform Act of 2017



The TRUMP Rules: Congressional Reform Act of 2017 

1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. And, no more perks go with them. 

2. Congress (past, present, & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose. 

3. Congress must purchase their own retirement plan, just as ALL Americans do. 

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 

5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people. 

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people (i.e. NO MORE INSIDER TRADING!!!). 

7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts by and for themselves. 

Serving in Congress is an honor and privledge NOT a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators should serve their term(s), then go home and go back to work … not get all kinds of freebies.

Network 1976


"I don't have to tell you things are bad.

Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression.
Everybody's out of work or
scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth,
banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun
under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street
and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do,
and there's no end to it. We know the air is
unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat,
and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster
tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three
violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be.
We know things are bad - worse than bad.
They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy,
so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house,
and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller,
and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in
our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV
and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything.
Just leave us alone.'
Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad!
I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot -
I don't want you to write to your congressman
because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write.
I don't know what to do about the depression
and the inflation and the Russians and
the crime in the street. All I know is that first
you've got to get mad.
You've got to say, 'I'm a HUMAN BEING, God damn it!
My life has VALUE!' So I want you to get up now.
I want all of you to get up out of your chairs.
I want you to get up right now and go to the window.
Open it, and stick your head out, and yell,
'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!'
I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows,
open them and stick your head out and yell -
'I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!'
Things have got to change. But first, you've gotta get mad!...
You've got to say, 'I'm as mad as hell,
and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Then we'll figure out
what to do about the depression
and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first get up out
of your chairs, open the window,
stick your head out, and yell, and say it:
"I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!"

The above is a speech by actor Peter Finch in the movie "Network" in 1976.   I believe it still applies today, as we have the same problems we had then.  Depression, inflation, worrying about our jobs, our debt, Congress' debt, JB's debt, China, the Russians; all of it.  This reminds me of song from the 80's:  "We're not going to take it, NO we ain't  going to take it, We're not going to take it anymore!"  by Twisted Sister, and the message is the same.  

People, we need to stand up and scream it from the top of our lungs; "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!"

6/23/2022 & 9/11/2023

 



6/23/2022

The Democrats 'think' they are above the law. No equal justice.

The true insurrection did not happen on 1/6/2021, it happened the summer of 2020 in all of our democratic run cities. With Antifa and Black Lives Matter, as the Democrat's surrogates. The only people that are prosecuted are center to right political opponents of the far left, by the American Marxists.

Life, Liberty and Equal Justice for all does not exist any longer in Joe Biden's America.

Documented evidence on our southern border of how our Director of Homeland Security is going to South American countries to encourage people from poverty stricken countries to migrate to North America to storm our borders. He, under the direction of the Biden administration, is leading the invasion of our country. This evidence is ignored by the main stream media, the Biden's administration denies it of course. They are invading our country with 4 million illegal immigrants, criminal and otherwise. This is beyond sedition or insurrection. This is flat out TREASON!

Our court justices of the Supreme Court of the U.S. Are being unlawfully and illegally, not to mention criminally threatened with violence by the leader of the Democrat Congress. There has even been an assassination attempt on Justice Cavenau, and our DOS does NOTHING! They are too busy surveilling and profiling parents that go to School Board Meetings to protest CRT and sexualizing their elementary aged children with trans-gender issues.

The Democrats that are really Marxist are a very small minority of our country. But they are the loudest. It's time the Silent Majority, no matter your political view, to speak up and defend yourself, defend your children, defend your country and defend your real President, Donald J. Trump. President Trump happens to love this country and her people. We are not racist, we are not bigots, we are NOT Nazis or White Extremists. We are not deplorables or insurrectionists. We are not White Supremacists. We are proud Americans. Though we live in a Christian Nation, not all of us are Christians, and the right wing evangelists do not represent who or what we are.

We are Americans. It does not matter our skin color, our hair color, our position in life, we are Americans! We are intelligent, well read, well versed, and have an uncanny ability to read between the lines of lying rhetoric. We DO NOT TOLERATE TYRANNY! “No one is above the law, Especially the “King”.

When these low lifes lie about our character, our view points, our President, our country, we need to call them out on their lies. Ask them for proof for their allegations. Documented FACTS!

Opinions from other's are not documentation of facts. They are opinions. Tell them to provide documented evidence or keep their big mouth shut.

Because if they don't have proof, they are opening themselves to law suites for defamation of character and libel. Then follow-up and serve them with legal documents, by a constable. Advise them, that you know WHO they are.

We need to publicly call them out on their smearing to humiliate theme, as they are trying to do to us by yelling their poisonous lies.

If necessary, belly right up to them, defend yourself, look them in the eyes and dare them to do something about it.

We also need to take our language back. No changing the pro nouns. There are 2 genders. Male and Female. PERIOD. I am not a racist because I disagree with you politically, or because I happen to believe that President Donald J. Trump was one of the BEST Presidents we have ever had in the history of this country.

************************************************************

9/11/2023

Now this country is on the verge of disaster; politically, economically, socially, and culturally. President Trump has been indicted 4 times and their going for a fifth, as well as indicting all of his officers. They want him to go to jail for 700+ years.

They are filing false charges, and trying to make normal political discourse illegal. I am waiting to see if they will be indicting all 74 million + people that voted for him in 2020. I would not put it past them.

Because we did not stop them back in June of 2022, they are putting Trump and his family through hell, and all of his officers are being indicted with threat of jail time as well.

I got news for these evil ass holes. They try to place President Trump in jail and they will have a real insurrection on their hands. They will not survive a real insurrection. This is why we will NEVER give up our arms. Not only NO but FUCK NO! I don't think they better push it that far. They are already interfering in our election. They seem to have forgotten that WE THE PEOPLE are in charge, and WE choose our President, and will not tolerate their appointment any longer.

They have ONE JOB, to protect our civil rights, by defending our Constitution and Bill of Rights. They cannot take our rights away, because they are not given to us by our government, they are given to us humans by our creator, whomever we deem that to be. Government is instituted by our CONSENT to defend our rights and have enumerated duties and power, and only those powers should be exercised.

If they are overstepping their jurisdiction and boundaries, it is time to put them right back into the box they belong in. It is our duty and responsibility. If they do not go back into their box willingly then we have a civic duty and responsibility to replace them by any means necessary. That is the CONTRACT we have with our government. We the People rule this country, not the Federal Administrative State. They serve US, they are supposed to be working for us, we do not work for them for their enrichment of themselves.

If we don't correct their course, they will devour us. They will destroy the greatest nation ever to have been created in the history of earth. I've said it before and I'll say it again, we are the last Beacon of Hope for the entire world. If America is destroyed, NO ONE will have a place to go to avoid tyranny and extreme poverty. We will go into a dark ages again, and everything will be lost. Believe me, these communist marxists will make sure of that. They will burn all records that have anything to do with our once proud, prosperous, and resilient republic. Just because they can.

I don't know about you, but I really don't want to learn how to speak Cantonese. China is poised to take over our nation, and the Bidens, the Bushes, the Clintons, and the Obamas are handing it to them on a silver platter.

Primal Scream of a Dying Regime

 










We are experiencing the primal scream


of a corrupt, pernicious, dying regime.

Listening to the real news of our nation,

Then to Biden's declaration

of war upon the American people

He believes we are all sheeples.


He believes he is above the law

as do his appointees to withdraw

from consequences of dark treason

will not acknowledge or hear reason.


His ONE duty that he cannot ignore

to defend the people and the border.

He avoids the southern border like the plague

he destroys our way of life with senseless rage.


He is whom we need protecting from

violates all of our rights to overcome

our Bill of Rights and sacred Constitution

as he continues in his devolution


toward bankrupting our country

obeys the “Great Reset” numbly

Executes the joke of 'Green New Deal'

to be poverty stricken; our fate to seal.


You will own nothing, and you will be happy.”

so says WEF's CEO with Biden as his lackey

He and his entire family are China compromised

thinking he is sneaky with no transparency to aggrandize


His constant overreach, mandates and then FBI raids

of his political opponents; a fantasy charade

Provides no evidence for Supreme Court discovery

Just a failing, profane regime acting with thuggery.


It's time to storm the voting booths come November eighth

Getting involved with our local processes to scathe

Their lying and cheating, once and for all

The Marxist Americans need to be made to crawl

off their perches as the insidious elites

stripped of all assets and escorted to the streets


We are the many, they are the few

they will only abuse us, as long as we allow them to.

FBI at It Again

The FBI decided to take the law into their own hands as they are so prone to do these days, (they have a God complex, and think they are above the law) as now they are killing harmless, disabled people that cannot even stand up alone by themselves, for having a bad temper and discussing online their violent dreams about this administration and Joe Biden, so they sent a swat team to raid his house at 6 a.m. in the morning and murdered him in his own house.  If that was not bad enough, they then dragged his body outside where they say they were trying to resuscitate him, and then left his body in the middle of the street to bleed out.  This is outrageous and uncalled for. This one hit, really close to home for me, it was in Provo, Utah.  That's a 40 minute drive down I-15 South.

And of course the "Crazy Left Media" is blaming everything on President Trump, who had nothing to do with it.  He sure as hell did not pull the trigger.  The Biden Administration is sending us a message folks.  If we even think bad thoughts and have the balls to say something about the traitorous bullshit the Biden Administration has been pulling and putting this entire country through, how corrupt they are, and how they need to be booted out of office, Biden will have the FBI follow you around, then wait till the wee hours of the morning, wake you up with a "cop knock" on your front door, then break the door down and blow your ass away in your own house.  So don't even think about calling them out for their bullshit.  They made an example of this man so the rest of us should beware.  So much for free speech. This tyrant needs to go down, once and for all.  I am not afraid of him, his crooked cops or of death.  We are the many, they are the few.  You do the math; one plus one always equals two.    Tell me we can't win?

What do you think?  Let me know in the comments below.

Pledge of Allegiance by Red Skelton (Brings new meaning to the words)

 Pledge of Allegiance

by Red Skelton



I:  me, an individual, a committee of one,

pledge: dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self pity,

allegiance: my love and my devotion,

to the flag: our standard, old glory, a symbol of freedom, wherever she waves, there's respect, because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts “Freedom is Every Bodies Job!”

of the United: that means that we have all come together.

States of America: Individual communities that have united into our 50 great states. Fifty individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose, all divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to a common purpose; and that is Love of Country.

And to the Republic: Republic, a state in which sovereign power is invested in representatives who are chosen by the people to govern. And government is THE PEOPLE. And it's from the people to the leaders, NOT from the leaders to the people.

For which it stands, one nation: one nation meaning so blessed by God,

Indivisible: incapable of being divided

with Liberty: which is Freedom to the right of power to live one's own life, without threats, fear or some sort of retaliation,

and Justice: our principal or quality of dealing fairly with others,

for all: Which means boys and girls, it's as much your country as it is mine.


Note:  Red Skelton was my Grandmother's cousin on my father's side of my family.  Her maiden name was Maymi Skelton.  So that would make him my 3rd cousin.
