Woodall Replacement, Support Trump or Lose

Image
I can’t lie.  During the disquieting Obama years, I found myself further distressed by the fact that my 7th District US Representative, Rob Woodall, did very little, in my opinion, to resist the 44th President’s efforts to turn America into a third world country and destroy the US Constitution domestically, while executing illegal regime change operations across the world in countries such as Ukraine, Libya and Syria.  I remember attending an open forum and asking Congressman Woodall why he did nothing visibly to resist Obama’s policies. He responded that the “Article 1 Congress” was powerless to resist the “Article 2 President” from doing anything he wanted to do, and that “we,” the American people, were complicit with Obama’s actions by electing him .  I did not buy that then, and Woodall’s statement has proven false noting the extent that Democrats in Congress have successfully resisted the initiatives of President Trump over the first two years of his presidency....

The Real State of the Union

Image
When for the first time in history the Speaker of the House failed to honor America’s President to visit the House Chamber to offer his appraisal of the state of the American union, I decided that responsibility must fall upon anyone who might possess an opinion of that condition, and also the opportunity to share it.  Since I have both, of sorts, perhaps you will indulge my poor judgments for a short duration. Now any attempt to describe the state of a “union,” necessarily implies a union exists.  Well, does it?  What is a “union” anyway?  In mathematics a union is that part of a set of objects common among two or more sets.  In politics, however, instead of objects, we might think of common ideas, viewpoints and intentions.  And instead of sets, we might talk of political groups.  So if a political union really exists, certain members attributed to one of those political groups must share some degree of uniformity of thought with members of others....

The Wall, Warring “Big Ideas”

Image
Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer want you to believe that their disagreement with President Trump’s proposal to build a wall across the border with Mexico is about money.  It’s too expensive.  Chuck and Nancy are just protecting the taxpayers.  But don’t you recall?  When they knew the votes were not there to make it law, the outspoken stars of the Chuck and Nancy Show at one time supported the idea.  Now, everyone has a right to change their minds, don’t they?  Of course they do.  So Chuck and Nancy just changed their minds.  Right? Now, according to President Trump, Chuck, Nancy and all the rest of the Democrats who once favored the wall, but now vehemently oppose it, changed their minds for the political reason of simply resisting him, a Republican, in all he tries to do, their purpose being to satisfy the far-left base of the Democrat Party.  Well, there may be some truth to that, and Trump’s allegation is certainly understandable by a poli...

Globalist Empire to Fail

Image
 In the first articles I wrote for the Forsyth County News, beginning late May of 2017, I described the economic environment Donald Trump would be forced to contend during his presidency. While everything else you hear in the news has been happening, in the background Trump has been dealing with a dying world trading platform, the globalist’s petrodollar system, which since the ‘70’s has financed the US trade deficit by ever-increasing American debt. Globalism depends on the petrodollar as its lifeblood.  Without it, and without even harsher means of enforcing the value of Federal Reserve currency worldwide, such as US military coercion, globalism dies. Contrary to its positive portrayals in the media, globalism is not about increasing wealth worldwide, not about creating a larger pie for an entire world of people.  Globalism is like a fisherman’s net, that net being private currency cast among the nations, a worldwide, privately-owned, ubiquitous payment system for ...

Not Far Right, Just Right

Image
If you felt dismay reading my recent article, “Syria Pullout Explained,” I suggest your discomfort arose from the shock of finally reading the truth after being woefully disinformed by previous presidential administrations, in partnership with MSM.  In that article, I retraced verifiable history to 1999, documenting facts which show candidate Donald Trump was indeed correct when he expressed, “Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton unleashed ISIS on the world.”  Now if that shocked you, I’m sorry; but you need to get your head out of the sand and see what is happening in this world.  Your shock reflects a natural reaction to learning that many things you have been told, perhaps your entire life, and which you counted on, are not true.  And worse than discovering falsehood is discovering what is true is so horrendous. Now one of the reasons I write these articles is simply as a service to the community and anyone else who finds and shares them online.  That service ...

What Can the Righteous Do?

Image
I do not believe one can adequately understand the Bible simply by reading it.  Now reading is a fine start.  But until one casts the face value of biblical expressions into the physical world, and deeply considers all that bounces back, frankly, pondering the Bible is largely an academic undertaking.  Don’t get me wrong.  Yes, read the Bible.  Read it to your kids.  Go to church and take them with you.  Provide children an academic foundation for expanding their understanding later on.  But just expect that any higher meaning the Bible offers will only arise from a spiritual understanding, founded in one’s unique life experiences and relationship with God, not a mental one based solely on academic study.  And most kids and many adults are not ready to understand deep, spiritual wisdom, just saying.  And to receive spiritual wisdom, of course one must engage the spirit.  But doing so while earning a living among life’s distracti...

Syria Pullout Explained

Image
Last week President Trump announced an impending pullout of American forces from Syria.  Now recall, the only supposed reason for US boots in Syria has been to fight ISIS.  But ISIS is now destroyed. Even so, members of both parties in Congress, and the MSM are in a dither because of the pullout.  Obviously, the purpose those ditherers had for US boots in Syria was not simply to fight ISIS.   So to understand what this is really all about, let’s take a thumbnail retrospect of the last 20 years of US involvement in Iraq and Syria. Toyota battlewagons do not occur naturally in the desert In 1999, the European Central Bank introduced the Eurodollar to compete with the US (Federal Reserve) dollar as the world’s reserve currency.  Shortly thereafter, in 2000 Saddam Hussein declared Iraq would no longer take US dollars for oil, opting instead for Euros.  Predictably, soon allegations of weapons of mass destruction against Saddam appeared througho...

Stark Reality, Answering Critics

Image
I have been a student of American politics for over a half century.  And it shames me to say that until the financial crisis of 2009, I was clueless regarding what was really happening politically right in front of my eyes, like, frankly, most remain today.  Sure, I stayed informed, had my favorite news shows like anybody else.  So until that crisis occurred, I took all the DC actors seriously.  I just thought many of them were stupid.  They were stupid because they said stupid things, held stupid policy positions, then changed to different stupid policy positions and tried to explain how they had “always been consistent.”  The financial crisis finally taught me a lesson.  I did my homework, opened my mind.  As I expanded my perspective, my paradigm shifted.  I began to see much more clearly. I discovered DC politicians are not stupid.  They think we’re stupid.  And frankly, in many cases they have been right. How many of you live...

Suspense Builds, Clinton Investigations Complete?

Image
If you follow this column, you may remember an article I wrote last January entitled, “Trump Declares National Emergency, MSM Ignores.” In that article I informed you that one month earlier, on December 21, 2017, President Trump signed an executive order declaring a national state of emergency.  That executive order is one based on a finding that, “serious human rights abuse and corruption around the world” constitute an “unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.”  And for that reason, President Trump invoked certain powers granted by Congress to deal with emergencies, powers that give him an array of tools to manage the circumstances the order describes. While Trump’s order, which remains in effect, does not specifically state what those threats may be, it does say that they are significant and endanger not only the “foundation of stable, secure, and functioning societies,” but importantly, “the financial syst...

Massive Trump Deception Afoot?

Image
Did you see it?  Did you see President Trump’s retweet last week?  I don’t know how many among this readership keep up with those kinds of things, so I will tell you that last week President Trump retweeted a meme depicting the likes of numerous notables behind bars.  Among those notables are individuals by the names Obama, Hillary, Podesta, Comey, Lynch, Holder, Clapper, even Mueller and Rosenstein.  And the caption on the meme reads, “Now that Russia collusion is a proven lie, when do the trials for treason begin?”  So let’s look at what Trump is saying here.  He is telling us that there will come a time in the short future when the Russian collusion theory being used by those individuals and their political cousins to protect themselves, will be proven beyond doubt to be a lie.  And then he is telling us that once that occurs, those responsible will be charged with treason.  Well, isn’t that exactly what I told you back in September in my artic...

Nationalism vs. Globalism is the Issue

Image
The battle between nationalism and globalism is the issue of our day, not conservatism vs. liberalism, not libertarianism vs. socialism. Forget your chosen “ism” for just a second and notice what is going on in DC and around the world. Get the big picture, friends. Just listen to what globalist Angela Merkel of Germany said recently about nationalism.  According to Merkel , “Nation states must today be prepared to give up their sovereignty.”   Really now. Get the Big Picture And earlier this month, globalist French President Emmanuel Macron scolded President Trump directly , disparaging Trump’s patriotism at the World War I armistice centennial in Paris, alleging, "Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism. Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism.”   So according to Macron, one cannot love one’s country and be a patriot at the same time.  Macron claims love of country and patriotism are opposites.  These are word tricks, gaslighting, and they won’t w...

155 Years Ago, Remembered

Image
155 years ago, as I write, after an overnight stay at the home of a local supporter, President Abraham Lincoln readied himself for the short carriage ride to the Gettysburg Battlefield.  Lincoln had not been scheduled to speak that day, only to bear witness to an oration by the well-known expositor, Edward Everette.  As Lincoln left the White House the day before, wife Mary urged him not to go as Tad, their youngest, lay feverish in the bed.  But Lincoln understood the importance of the trip to the site where four months prior, after the bloodiest battle of the Civil War, Union forces had finally been able to stop the Confederate General Robert E. Lee from advancing.  Had Lee been victorious, the outcome of the war could have been much different. The purpose of Lincoln’s trip that day was to help commemorate the Gettysburg Battlefield as the final resting place of Americans on both sides of the ideological conflict.  These were citizen soldiers who fought a...

The Greatest Movie Ever

Image
I’m just watching the same movie you are, friends.  Maybe the difference is that I see it as just that, a movie.  It has a plot, which is already written and decided, a cast of characters, a location, a set of circumstances.  And each character has his or her motivations.  We have President Trump, for example, who according to the trailer is the self-made billionaire whose pure love of country has made it impossible for him to remain in the satisfying comforts of his home high atop Trump Tower, and who, at the very last moment possible, walks away from the opulence and grandeur of a capitalist empire that took 50 years to build, compelled by circumstance to save America, the country he loves, from a final internal overthrow by the evil and diabolical globalists. You have the attractive and talented Trump family supporting him, the stunning wife who speaks with a mysterious accent.  You have the malevolent deep state, which includes members of each major pol...
