It’s Not Stupid; It’s Intentional. After last week using most of my space to share the very excellent essay by Simon Wolfe, I figured I’d better try to write something on my this week. That was before I heard the short but powerful speech by the newly elected prime minister of Italy. It was so to the point, that I felt I needed to share it with all our readers, who may not watch the news on the internet as I do.
These are the words of Giorgia Meloni, new conservative prime minister of Italy:
“Why is the family the enemy? Why is the family so frightening?
There is a single answer to these questions.
Because it defines us. Because it is our identity. Because everything that defines us is now an enemy. For those who would like us to no longer have an identity and to simply be perfect consumer slaves.
And so they attack national identity, and they attack religious identity; they attack gender identity, they attack family identity.
I can’t define myself as Italian, Christian, woman, mother. No. I must be citizen x, gender x, parent 1, parent 2; I must be a number.
Because when I am only a number, when I no longer have an identity or role, then I will be the perfect slave at the mercy of financial speculators.
The perfect consumer.
That’s the reason why we inspire so much fear…because we do not want to be numbers. We will defend the value of the human being. Every single human being. Because each of us has a unique genetic code that is unrepeatable.
And, like it or not, that is sacred. We will defend it. We will defend God, country and family.
Those things that disgust people so much. We will do it to defend our freedom, because we will never be slaves, and simple consumers at the mercy of financial speculators.
That is our mission. That is why I came here today. (G.K.) Chesterton wrote more than a century ago: “Fires will be kindled to testify that two and two make four. Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer.”
That time has arrived. We are ready. Thank you.”
She exited to a standing ovation from the crowd.
Succinct, oh-so-true, and spoken with the emotion of one who truly cares for tradition and the long-standing values of Western Civilization. I was just blown away by this short speech, and knew that it needed to be shared.
Just this morning, my friend, Tom Milliken, sent me an equally powerful message, that I have to share. (I just hope I don’t go over the word limit this week.)
From Tom, author unknown:
“If you leave the gate open, the cow will wander off. So if you intentionally leave the gate open, you want the cow to wander off. You can’t blame stupidity or laziness. It was intentional.
If you cut police budgets, you will get more crime on the streets. So if you intentionally cut police budgets, you wanted more crime on the streets.
If you cut back the supply of oil, gas prices will go up. So if you intentionally cut back the supply of oil, you wanted gas prices to go up.
If you print trillions of dollars without increasing the supply of goods, inflation will hit hard. So if you intentionally print trillions of dollars without more goods, you wanted inflation to hit hard.
If you leave the southern border wide open, you get more drug trafficking and human trafficking. So if you intentionally leave the border wide open, you wanted more drug trafficking human trafficking.
If you shut down 40% of the supply of baby formula in February, you’ll get a huge shortage. When you KNOW a huge baby formula shortage is coming because of the FDA’s actions, and you purposefully do nothing to prevent it, month after month, until the crisis finally hits hard, you INTENDED this crisis.
It is time to recognize the evil people behind that old man. They want crisis. The want chaos. They want riots. They want conflicts in your town. Their stated purpose years ago with Obama was to “take the US down a few notches on the world stage.” You can feel the quality of your life going down with the country.
These are not foolish or misguided people. They are headed somewhere you don’t want to go……”
I cannot improve on these two messages, but I certainly agree with what these brave people are saying. Each of us must find the strength to combat the forces of evil in our government by sticking to the basic rules of our culture. For me it is this: I am white, an American, a Christian, a woman, a mother and grandmother, and a MAGA patriot. And to the ones who want to destroy us, our country, our rights of freedom: just know this, that there are millions more like me who will not be easily cowed by your evil, destructive agenda.

You hit the nail on the head, Alma. We are way past being polite to the evil we face. If we didn’t already know all this was intended, we were simply in denial, because it can’t just continue without there being an evil intent. There are no excuses.
Add me to those millions, like you.
I agree with both of you, in that polite opposition is useless. I hope American citizens will do their part in November to remove as many democrats from power as possible. But then we have to rely on congressional republicans to drop the congeniality facade and actually fight like the future of the country depends on them. They should not let up until they have made a significant dent in the damage done by this evil administration. And in their spare time begin impeachment proceedings, regardless of their numbers in the Senate. I say that though, without much confidence.
Problem is, we need housecleaning in the GOP too. We have too many Uniparty types that see themselves as junior coalition partners, vassals content that their lords and masters deign to give them seats at the foot of the dinner table.
I’ve long proposed something I call “Operation Example”: Every election cycle, we pick the worst underperformer relative to their district from each chamber (what used to be the Madison Project’s Hall of Shame) and go Scorched Earth denying them reelection.
