CHOOSING A FUTURE

There are some very good reasons to choose one presidential candidate over another in 2024. Every quadrennial election is a national approval or disapproval of the presidential administration immediately precedent to election day. This is how the administration of (ostensibly) Joseph Robinette Biden and Kamala Devi Harris, president and vice-president, respectively, should be reviewed and judged by American citizens: approve or disapprove. What are some of the reasons to choose?

One of the reasons to disapprove of Biden-Harris derives from how the Trump administration was treated by elements of the administrative state and other politicians. Hatred of Trump was the driving force prior to and during his administration. Impeachment was being called-for before he was even inaugurated. Various celebrities and political influencers were calling for his destruction, including “blowing up the White House” on the day of inauguration. The FBI director, James Comey, sent agents to interview Lt. General Michael Flynn without a legal reason to do so, banking on the ignorance of Trump officials about proper White House – Washington legalities. As those agents questioned Flynn they noted certain points during the “casual” conversation, one of which had to do with his conversations with his Russian, soon-to-be-counterpart during the administrative transition period. Flynn, who had also served under President Obama, thinking that everyone in the conversation was on the same team, had not been told of any investigative or testimonial nature of the conversation, and he stated something about his discussions with the Russian that the FBI knew could be made legally problematic, and it was brought up on purpose during the “casual” discussion. Flynn never knew he was being stabbed in the back by his “teammates.” Trump never suspected it either, until the dagger came down.

Comey, one of the least trustworthy administrators Trump inherited, later bragged about how clever he was to slip those agents into the White House without the normal, formal preparation protocols. Flynn’s life and family were wrecked publicly and financially as he attempted to fight the charges brought from a minor misstatement about his actions during the transition period. The attacks on Trump and his trusted advisors and appointees only got worse from there.

The Covid “pandemic” was a near-perfect tool for destroying the economy and the medical establishment, while forcing a federal / Presidential reaction to unprecedented circumstances, forcing reliance upon the National Institutes of Health, the Center for Disease Control, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease and the Food and Drug Administration, among others, with the constant attempts to influence sovereign policies by the World Health Organization. Amidst the hurricane of lies sweeping across the world… starting in the U.S. NIH and its subordinate agencies and bureaucrats, reinforced by the Chinese Communist Party, multiplied by the W.H.O. and obscenely capitalized by Moderna, Pfizer and other pharmaceutical manufacturers, President Trump endeavored to organize the federal mechanisms to bring forth solutions. Unfortunately, he had no alternatives for medical advice, at least in the first weeks of the “pandemic,” than to accept the opinions of Tony Fauci and others within the federal miasma. Trump was not in a position to reject the advice of medical “experts.” Democrats were not in a position to oppose teachers’ unions.

Soon, though, Trump appointed another advisor, who was not compromised by the financial corruption of the FDA and the NIH jungle, Dr. Scott Atlas. Since his views agreed with most of Trump’s, Atlas’ statements were denigrated by the pro-pandemic left. As it turns out, however, almost everything Dr. Fauci proclaimed about Covid and the best responses to it has proven to be false, while the statements of Dr. Atlas have proven to be true. Shutting down the economy was the wrong response, masks were useless, and various means of treatment (hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin and combinations with other drugs and supplements) would have had far, far better results than ventilators and fluids. Indeed, the suppression of alternative, super-safe treatments, although “off-label,” constituted death-sentences for thousands of patients, possibly hundreds of thousands.

Later, once the so-called mRNA “vaccines” were released (after the 2020 election, of course, although the “vaccines” were being worked on IN WUHAN by Moderna in 2019, well before Covid-19 hit the streets), almost everything claimed about their effects and effectiveness has been proven false and, in fact, detrimental to overall health and immunity in general. Sadly, they are still being pushed as “vaccines,” even to children who have no need of them whatsoever. The federal medical establishment lied… people died. That establishment is overwhelmingly Democrat or further leftist. Their innate belief is that good derives from expert government, not from independent individuals.

As the grand Covid pandemic was being prepared (no blame to China, of course), the CIA / FBI “intelligence” apparatus, in conjunction with the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, was executing the “Russia, Russia, Russia” hoax, breaking multiple laws in the process. No one has been arrested or charged with these crimes, including the deception of the FISA Court with known-false document “evidence” and fallacious testimony to induce continued illegal domestic spying on the Trump campaign, associates and administration following election. After two years and $25 to $30 Millions spent by the Mueller investigation, nothing was discovered to link Donald Trump to any sort of Russian collusion, supposedly to influence the 2016 elections. Mueller obtained indictments of several Russian operatives unconnected with the premises of charges against Trump, but these are people who will never come back to the United States or be arrested: all for show, creating lurid headlines to keep the hatred flowing.

Ultimately, Prudence believes, the misfortunate good-fortune for election fraudsters in the time of Covid-19 hysteria, led to wholesale undoing of election procedures that enabled Trump to win in 2016. In multiple states, suits were brought to enable un-monitored mail-in voting, sloppy, un-monitored “ballot harvesting” by self-appointed individuals, and dispersal of un-monitored “drop-boxes” where individuals could deposit as many “ballots” as they could carry. All that was needed was a list of ineligible voters who still appeared on the official voter lists. A relative handful of operatives could distort legitimated voting totals by a few thousands of votes in a matter of a day or two. Despite the supposed record-setting Biden-Harris vote totals across the nation (some 81 Million), the Electoral College winning total manifested in 3 states by a supposed total of fewer than 50,000 votes. Ballots were accepted and votes counted that were unsigned or signed with unmatchable signatures, undated, from incorrect addresses, and days, even weeks, after election day, despite laws. One postal worker was interviewed who was prepared to swear that his boss had ordered him to pre-date the postmarks on a batch of mailed ballots, so as to be “legal” and counted. His testimony never reached a courtroom.

The 2020 elections, in addition to the irregularities injected by courts, in contravention of Constitutional requirements that only states’ legislatures could stipulate how and where elections and voting would take place, manifested dozens of electoral anomalies. That is, many voting patterns appeared that departed substantially from historic patterns. In every state every “anomaly” benefited the Democrats – Joe Biden, specifically. Ostensibly, the Biden stay-in-the-cellar Covid-19 campaign garnered more than 81 million votes, the highest total, ever. A key demographic for Democrats has been African-Americans: the “Black” vote. Somehow, Joe Biden, known for a history of racist comments and actions in the senate (historically, the Robinette family were slave owners), obtained more black votes than Barack Obama, the actual first black presidential candidate. Along with all the other election patterns that had never occurred before, this one strains credulity. Hatred of Trump, however, helps the medicine go down.

So, after four and a half years of attacks, lies and frauds against himself, his family and his appointees, two baseless impeachments and the Speaker of the House tearing his State of the Union document in half on national TV, and then faced with a flood of evidence and sworn statements about fraudulent balloting, Trump saw his fairly obvious election win as being torn from his grasp. Regardless of whether the reader agrees that election manipulation was “big enough to make a difference,” it is instructive – and fair – to put oneself in Trump’s position. Why would he believe that a party and deep state willing to break so many laws to damage his administration, might actually execute a free and fair election, if cheating meant getting rid of Trump? With the amount of evidence that strange actions took place in the election, a president has an obligation to have the election investigated! But, there’s a built-in problem.

Election day for the 50 state presidential elections, is within the first 8 days of November. From, let’s say, November 5th to acceptance of the slates of electors by the Congress on, now, January 6th, is barely 60 days, and of those, only 36 “business” days. In that period lie Thanksgiving weekend, Hannukah, Christmas and Christmas eve, then New Year’s Day and New Years eve. Courts are slow to take up cases at the simplest of times, but the number of active court days in the period between Election Day and acceptance of Electoral College totals are significantly reduced. In terms of the date of each state’s vote certification, usually December 14th, there are only 26 “business” days with Thanksgiving in that period. With several states allowing votes to be received and counted days or weeks past election day, the period between vote tallying and certification could be as short as a two weeks! It is impossible both physically and administratively to bring forth charges of malfeasance in vote handling or counting in that time frame.

Most of the people responsible for operating polling places, policing them and controlling the physical ballots and the computerized machines virtually every state now uses, are under financial pressure by those who hired them, often politically, to never express doubts about an election. Even many judges who might rule on allowing a challenge into court are politically appointed or even elected, and consequently quite disinterested in hosting a challenge to an election in his or her jurisdiction, and delighted to find any technicality to deny placing such a claim on the docket, even if only to delay looking into the matter or allowing subpoena of pertinent records or testimony. By the time the case can be formally re-filed, it will be too late to change the outcome of certification. At the higher state levels, no governor wants to be the outlier who allowed a serious challenge to go forward, delaying certification, in the event that the challenged winner becomes president and the broad interference he or she can create to the flow of federal funds to that state.

In short, NO ONE connected to the administration or execution of elections has the slightest interest in aiding any challenge to the certified vote or any election procedure that might disturb that certification. The crime of organized voter fraud in a presidential election is virtually impossible to bring to court. It is the perfect crime, and the very one that threatens the foundation of the United States’ perseverance.

May God protect the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

In 2024, should Ms. Kamala Harris be elected President, she and her administration will largely continue the policies of the administration just ending, in which she has been Vice-President. In that role she has been the tie-breaking vote on several destructive pieces of legislation. She will not repair the damage that has been done to the United States domestically or internationally, nor will she likely re-arm and toughen our military, casting out every vestige of “woke” philosophies, practices or wastes of the current, declining, military establishment, nor will she close the border to all illegal entry, nor will she aggressively deport illegals who have committed crimes of any sort. God save us.

I AM WHO I AM

There is a certain fascinating aspect and predictability to the ways leftists, Democrats and Communists create solutions to difficult social problems that they often have also created.  To resolve the growing, activist-multiplied problem the various shades of leftists inevitably proffer a “solution” that strengthens the government and the leftists, themselves… and on and on it goes.  Freedom gets traded for a new level of “safety.”  Only the rarest of elections changes this course.

We see this playing out in the sudden pandemic of trans-sexuality that has infected our schools, our governments, our colleges, even our medical establishments – including pediatrics, a form of medicine most of us have always trusted – and even some churches.  It’s a worse pandemic than COVID was intended to be, bad as it was.  It’s worse because there is no injection that will immunize the hearts and minds of the susceptible, nor is any pharmaceutical company working on one.  No President has cleared the decks for a “Warp Speed” development of a cure for this new disease; various groups cannot agree on its origin: animals or a laboratory.  It is grotesquely infectious, however, affecting many organs, starting with the brain.

Just like COVID, trans-genderism has attracted new streams of commerce, catering to the needs of the infected as well as the threatened.  Some of these are drugs, so helpful to transitioners as they leave reality, and surgical procedures, even in pediatric departments at formerly trusted hospitals, but, not to be out-done, beer, sneakers and other products are making sure that “trannies” know where to buy whatever makes life worth living, including rapid delivery from Amazon Prime vans.  We are no slouches when it comes to scraping a buck off of the mentally ill.

The psychiatry and psychology industries are getting the short straw, though.  Lots of jurisdictions had long-ago made it illegal to treat sexual matters, no matter how confused, psychologically.  Affirmation and the aforementioned drugs and surgeries, not to overlook deception of parents and grandparents, are the only accepted maltreatments.  If parents and grandparents react badly to teachers and school policies that lie and mislead them about the children they raise and love AND ARE RELATED TO BY BIRTH, the leftists will send police and the FBI and others to harass and arrest them.

The widespread reactions to opposition to the trans-gender pandemic, are the basis of the new problem that cries out for a governmental solution… from the same leftist gaggle that created the original problem/pandemic.  Pretty soon, state by state, legislation will be offered to “protect” the LGBTQ+ “community” from “Christian fascists” who wish to take away the “civil rights” of the deviant.  Grotesquely, that “community” has attached itself to real civil rights problems that are based on inherent distinctions of race and birth – unchangeable things.  Always seeking support, militant “civil rights” activists are happy to add sexual deviance to their reasons to protest and, now, to tear down.  In their anti-historical foolishness, true civil rights activists are abetting the complete tear-down of society and culture that global communists have always wanted: the “solution.”

Most “trans” and other abnormal sexual claims are based on – wait for it – self-declarations.  They are not based on empirical evidence of gay-ness or of needs to convert one’s body to one that has the appearance of the opposite sex.  It’s all mental-emotional.  This in no way belittles the intensity or “reality” of emotional worries, fears and other feelings that cause the sufferer to believe his or her body is the “wrong” one.  The suffering person is suffering.  How though, could enforceable laws be based on the utter lack of empirical evidence: nothing to show anyone, nothing a jury could review, nothing with the possibility of forensic discovery.  How much worse it is when a trusted adult asks the questions 5, 8, 11-year-old children don’t have the wisdom to answer.

Tik-Tok and other kid-centric social media enhance the peer pressure to adopt the latest, most affirmative trend / fad, and it is largely out of sight of parents and other non-affirmative adults.  After all, your teacher, for Heaven’s sake… well, not Heaven’s sake, certainly, but someplace’s sake, told you not to tell your parents that you really aren’t a girl and that your name is now Brad instead of Bonnie.  Go ahead and send that video to your favorite classmate of how cool you look, dressed like a boy.  What rot.

Evil trends have conspired to destroy humanity, especially in the United States.  Separating children from their actual selves denies them the ability and opportunity to fulfill the responsibilities of their gender.  The education of boys ought to be different in key ways from the education of girls.  Each gender has its own preparation for adulthood.  Boys and girls are equal under the law, but not equivalent in roles and in life.  It’s not mysterious, but it is a crime socially, culturally and (should be) actually.

There is no reason to trust anyone who thinks the explosion in “trans-genderism” is good or valid.  There’s no reason to trust medical institutions or personnel who accept minors for surgery for the purpose of “changing” gender.  No reason to trust anyone who will feed puberty blockers or opposite- sex hormones to minors.  No reason to trust anyone who will ruin the maturation and fertility of a minor human child.  God save us.

If You Knew Covid…

YOU DON’T KNOW COVID

Prudence has often commented on the casual mendacity of politicians, and that quality of theirs is troubling enough.  New depths are plumbed, however, when hundreds of appointed, elected and hired “officials” agree to lie together  for some tawdry political purpose.  Many lie without knowing what that purpose even is.  Suffice to say that the greatest power on Earth is unified belief, including evil belief.

Like the man or not, honest observers, liberals included, have to agree that hatred of Donald Trump inspired some of the most virulent and congruent political lying our nation has ever experienced.  Virtually all of the lies have been exposed for what they were.  Dishonest observers retain belief in many of those lies and have convinced themselves that because of what they perceive as true there is no possibility of compromise or even courtesy towards those who believe that the lies were, in fact, falsities.  This mish-mash of lies and truths and the distrust of so many for so many others, provided the perfect breeding ground for the most widespread political lying yet: the Covid-19 pandemic.

It appears that only in the United States, where Donald Trump is running for re-election, has the Covid-19 epidemic played a significant part in the unseating of a government.  Many countries have been hit hard by the initial attacks of the new, somewhat engineered, coronavirus that China spread across the world, but only in the United States has this medical threat been politicized.  At the same time, and again, only in the U. S., leftist thugs have chosen the same moment to riot in dozens of cities.  That resulted from a completely different set of lies from those told about Covid-19, and this isn’t the place to recount them, but the confluence of the two, essentially unique events, is itself unique and conveniently coincident in a political sense.

But “Covid” provided – and provides – a rich harvest of public policies – all left-leaning and largely unconstitutional – that are serving to twist electoral politics and sway votes based – on – half-truths – and outright lies.  Everything from business and religious lockdowns, intrusions into personal properties and lives, and the enforcement of personal actions like mask-wearing, are based on half-truths at best, complete untruths at mid-range, or utter falsehoods at worst.

Americans have been misled.  We hear constantly how many of us have died… DIED, from this awful scourge, now totaling some 169,000… THOUSAND(!) poor souls struck down by a disease that the Trump administration practically spread on purpose because all those people who work for Trump hate the rest of us.  Remove the silliness from that sentence and we’re left with a statistic that is meaningless.  The CDC counts “deaths” as people who died WITH Covid, not FROM Covid.  Why would bureaucrats count such a serious phenomenon in such a flaccid way?  Even people who died in accidents but who happened to test positive for Covid, are counted as Covid deaths.  What good is a “statistic” like this?

Well, this half-truth serves erstwhile dictators who need to induce fear to gain compliance.  There were reasons for fear in late February and March of this year.  First, the virus protein was altered in a laboratory in Wuhan, China, from a corona (shaped) virus that existed in weird, ugly bats!  Few of us know much about bats in the first place, and most of us are a little fearful of them, thanks to various horror movies.  A wonderment for the average person was: “Who the Hell cares what kind of viruses exist in Chinese bats?”  Fair question.  It was totally rational to be afraid of the entry of a bat virus into humans, especially from such ugly creatures as Chinese horseshoe bats.  The researchers who first discovered the bat-source of the SARS-like novel coronavirus, were certainly frightened.

Another reason for fear, then, was China-caused rapid spread of the new virus around the world, especially in the middle East and Europe, areas where China had developed intensive trade relationships and to where Chinese personnel were traveling in large numbers.  Scary numbers of cases.  A third reason for fear… then, was that the U. S. was not sure what to do or how to do it to contain or prevent the disease, and all kinds of directives were being issued and soon abandoned in favor of other directives.  People, officials, with no medical background were creating public policy on the fly upon the advice of medicos who were often wrong.  But recommendations quickly became economic shutdown dictates.  Americans’ private properties were being stripped from them without compensation in the hopes that stopping commerce would stop the virus.

It certainly stopped commerce.

Oddly, maybe, the most Democrat-controlled jurisdictions have imposed the tightest restrictions on business.  Despite improving knowledge from Europe and Scandinavia, governors and mayors insisted on ever-tighter lockdowns.  Amazingly, State and Municipal employees didn’t lose their incomes, nor were they forced onto unemployment or furloughed or, simply, fired.  When a governor said “We’re all in this together,” he was really saying, “YOU’RE all in this together.  I and everyone else who is paid by the state, we’re pretty much divorced from your problems, especially if you lose your business or your job.  We will borrow some money – from YOU – to pretend to care about you today.”

So who is benefitting from tight, anti-business and anti-religious lockdowns?  Certainly not the people who own or work at those businesses, nor the ministers, priests, choir directors or secretaries who work at places of worship, certainly not the believers whose unfettered right to worship has been soundly fettered without debate or legislation, and certainly not all the people who depended upon those shuttered businesses for their daily living, health, recreation, library services or exercise routines.  So, who, exactly?

Is it all to keep healthy people from coming down with Covid?  Maybe… that’s what we are told to justify forcing everyone to wear masks when outdoors at pain of monetary fines and even apprehension should we ‘fail to follow the law.’  Except that it’s not a law, it’s a gubernatorial impulse or, sometimes worse, a mayoral one.  If asked, those worthies would declare adherence to “CDC” advice and the implied fulfillment of “science” because of that connection.  Of course there is no science that informs us of the efficacy of masks or other face coverings, although you’d think there must be because elected officials clearly care so much about saving lives.  Indeed, they care so much that they are willing to implore us to endure the discomfort of masks and, even better, to distrust anyone who isn’t wearing a mask.  In fact, we should no longer trust anyone to not be about to spray us with Covid-laden spittle.

Did you know that hospitals are rewarded, in a sense, by up to $25,000 for treating a Covid-19 patient who dies in the hospital?  That accident victim who died WITH Covid was worth $25 Grand if the right box was checked for C.O.D.  Follow the money for the outrageous total of Covid deaths.  China, our far-eastern friend who blessed the world with Covid-19, has 4.34 times as many people as the United States and about 5 times the population density.  Yet, miracle of miracles, the U.S. has THIRTY-SIX AND A HALF TIMES as many Covid deaths.  Ignorant governors… and malevolent ones, have been making rules to barely live by, based on BS statistics designed to hurt the President of the United States: an odd way to execute public policy.

Now the big battle is re-opening schools… because of the need to protect the children, don’t you see?  School-age children, say, 5 to 17 years, are so slightly impacted by Covid that it is nearly impossible to state their Covid death rate in terms of percentage: the decimal point is too many places to the left.  But despite the desire of most teachers to teach, their unions have hamstrung craven politicians into “hybrid” schooling (some education / some goofing off) for the Fall and beyond in some cases, or long delays in re-opening, as if they’d only just heard of Covid-19.  Teachers are all college educated and it would be reasonable to expect them to know and follow the latest approximations of “science” in judging the safety of schools reopening with real teachers and real students.  But, apparently not.

In Montgomery County, Maryland, not only did the teachers’ union force delays in reopening, they forced the county to prevent private schools  from reopening, as well, all of which, essentially, were prepared to open safely.  The county refused to even examine their reopening plans, citing the fact that public schools weren’t going to open, as if it mattered.  Private schools are generally smaller, more lightly staffed and better able to enforce social distancing and other rules, and, it seems, more committed to real education.

The more one sees the tactics of various “public” employee unions – particularly teachers’ unions, one sees that worries about Covid are largely political and financial.  Between home-schooling and private schools, the grand government school monopolies are threatened as never before, as is the hyper-sexualized, white evil oppression, bull-bleep they spend so much class time on as if educating.  The Lord works in mysterious ways.

What will come of nightly riots and mayhem in major cities?  Would the changes demanded by the anarchists and BLM Marxists make America stronger, fairer or more beautiful?  Not a chance.  If police departments closed down, incarcerations ended and white people gave up their homes to black screamers and haters, would the demands for the relinquishing of all white possessions end?  No.  Kow-towing to rioters or other thugs has never ended the thuggery… it simply increases the level of demands and changes the targets.  In fact, changing public policy on the terms of rioters  instead of on society’s carefully considered terms, is the stupidest path any responsible leader could follow.  The stupidest.

How is it that so many people are holding office at this moment whose decisions to respond to public mayhem are all the stupidest of available choices?  Have these mayors and governors always hated the United States or are they mere cowards?  We know how several District Attorneys got elected with the help of socialist money – anti-American money, but are there no “lawmakers” who can craft legislation that will provide for their removal if they fail to prosecute criminals?  Or even laws that require that EVERY case be brought to court even if unenthusiastically?  Or shall public safety and the fulfillment of the Fifth and Sixth Amendments be at the whim of a single person without constraint of law?

What do we actually believe about our civil rights?  It’s silly enough to wear masks outdoors, please don’t put on blinders, too.
