Sleepwalking into Secession
https://americanmind.org/essays/sleepwalking-into-secession/ In short, everything possible should be done to take the Podesta Gambit off the table quickly. If it becomes normalized, it can be used. If it is used, it could easily spin out of control, to the point of destroying our Constitution and our country. Though it seems to have burst upon us suddenly,…

https://www.manhattancontrarian.com/blog/2020-8-25-does-anyone-know-what-defund-the-police-really-means If protesters receive their wish to abolish the police, the people most affected will be those we consider to be the most vulnerable in our society: low income families, particularly women and children, and minorities. That is, it will be the people who cannot afford another option. It is no exaggeration to say that…
California Apocalypto

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/08/a_pandemic_of_socialism.html The Constitution of the United States provides for no limitation of our liberty, freedom, or democracy in an emergency. Is this because our Founding Fathers had never heard of the Black Death (1347, multiple) or the Great Plague of Marseille (1720) or the Yellow Fever from the Caribbean (1793) or smallpox (vaccine 1770)? Why, then, did…
Americans React To Kamala Harris’s Call For Post-20 Week Abortions With Pictures Of Their 20-Week-Olds

https://americanmind.org/essays/trumpism-a-look-backward-and-forward-to-november/ That Trump is still standing is an unrecognized tribute to his resilience, stamina, and willpower to fight it out to the bitter end. His critics say 2020 is not 2016. This time the polls are right on, not rigged by the sort who trafficked in absurd Russian hoaxes or were mesmerized by Michael Avenatti….
