It is right there in the Constitution, or Declaration of Independence or somewhere in our founding documents, the separation of church and state, isn’t it? At least that’s what our liberal friends want us to believe. The left hates religion, except their own of course (abortion, climate change, et al). What they really hate is God or even the possibility of the existence of a true God, separate and apart from religion, which is man made.
What the left, and the rest of us, should really be concerned about is the separation of media and state. Everyone knows that the responsibility of a free press is to report the truth. Without that reporting, a free people will become ignorant. The people will become subjects rather than rulers of the land, when they are ignorant of the facts. And that is precisely how the DemoKKKrap Plantation Party likes its constituents to be, dumb, happy, and ignorant.
The freedom of the press is enshrined in the very first amendment for a good reason. It wasn’t haphazardly placed there. Our Founders realized that in order to control the urges of the powerful, who run government, to grow even more powerful, a free press was needed to keep tabs on the ruling class. They knew from history that the English licensing laws from 1534, which demanded that all presses be licensed, were intended to protect the government from the people. The Founders wanted to protect the people from the government.
Our “throwing off” of King George could not have been possible without a free press, one not controlled by and indebted to the government. We have come far from the days of the first freed states writing into their own constitutions freedom of the press. Here is a list of some of those states:
- A Declaration of the Rights of the Inhabitants of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. – June 15, 1780:–The liberty of the press is essential to the security of freedom in a state: it ought not, therefore, to be restrained in this Commonwealth.
- A Declaration of the Rights of the Inhabitants of the Commonwealth or State of Pennsylvania – September 28, 1776: That the people have a right to freedom of speech, and of writing, and publishing their sentiments; therefore the freedom of the press ought not to be restrained.
- A Declaration of Rights, and the Constitution and Form of Government agreed to by the Delegates of Maryland, in Free and Full Convention Assembled. – November 11, 1776: That the liberty of the press ought to be inviolably preserved.
- Virginia Declaration of Rights – June 12, 1776:XII That the freedom of the press is one of the greatest bulwarks of liberty and can never be restrained but by despotic governments.
- North Carolina, A Declaration of Rights, &c. – December 18, 1776: That the freedom of the press is one of the great bulwarks of liberty, and therefore ought never to be restrained.
- An Act for Establishing the Constitution of the State of South Carolina. – March 19, 1778: That the liberty of the press be inviolably preserved.
- Constitution of Georgia; February 5, 1777: LXI. Freedom of the press and trial by jury to remain inviolate forever.
- A Declaration of the Rights of the Inhabitants of the State of Vermont – July 8, 1777: That the people have a right to freedom of speech, and of writing and publishing their sentiments; therefore, the freedom of the press ought not be restrained. (Vermont was not yet a state, but saw fit to set up a Declaration of Rights)
Notice the exceptionally strong and important wording of the Virginia Declaration,
“That the freedom of the press is one of the greatest bulwarks of liberty and can never be restrained but by despotic governments.”
Contrast those visions of our Founders regarding a free press to the current situation with Dementia Joe and the media cover up of his mental state. Our Founders are doing Olympic caliber backflips.
Members of His Fakery’s media Praetorian Guard have given themselves away. They let it slip that they have in fact known for years, yes Years, that His Fakery was not all there. His entire presidency has been one big facade. This “greatest bulwarks of liberty” allowed itself to be restrained by a despotic government. And what are we left with as a result? A despotic government that is now in turmoil.
None other than the vaunted, celebrated, hailed Carl Bernstein, divulged that members of the media and government knew that Biden had dementia over a year ago, in fact years ago.
In a piece in the New York Post entitled, “Biden had ‘15-20’ episodes of cognitive decline in last year, Carl Bernstein says”,
“They are adamant that what we saw the other night, the Joe Biden we saw, is not a one-off, that there have been 15, 20 occasions in the last year and a half when the president has appeared somewhat as he did in that horror show that we witnessed.” Bernstein, 80, said what makes this “significant” is how “many people around the president are aware of such incidents, including some reporters incidentally who have witnessed some of them.”
The Democrat Party hack turned “journalist”, Chuck Todd, told a similar story of media cover up.
These were not the only two “journalists” who knew these things. An open secret is an open secret. The Washington press corps is a small, incestuous world. The question then is, why did these and other “reporters” not report this very big news? It’s obvious that these and most journalists are tied to the party of big government, The DemoKKKrap Plantation Party.
This collusion of media and state has led us to a very dangerous place. We currently have NO functioning Commander in Chief. Who is running our Executive Branch – law enforcement, border control and the military? Is it our modern-day version of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, the Witch “doctor” Jill? Is it the cocaine addled son of the dementia addled shell of a President? Who? We don’t know, but someone is. We know it’s not Kackling Kamala. Whoever it is, he/she/they are not elected.
As much as I love to see The Democrat Party in a continual circular firing squad, this is dangerous for our national security and our continued functioning as a free and independent state. Unfortunately, this involves more than just The Democrat Party. It involves all of us. Remember in November who put us into this mess of a situation. Our Founders warned us against this. We need a new separation of media and state, or we won’t have a state.

Perhaps I could have worded that sentence better. However, I do believe that Divine Providence played a big hand in our founding, to include the states putting off those first two amendments. It is rightful and just that our First Amendment protects our speech and faith.
On my site, I use the spelling ‘journolist.’ The spelling ‘journolist’, or ‘journolism’, comes from JournoList, an email list of 400 influential and politically liberal journalists, the exposure of which called into question their objectivity.
