A retrospective of 2024 looks like a prospective for 2025. Despite the dramatic shift from Biden’s Bolshevik Administration to Trump’s MAGA 2.0, the past is always prologue. Change happens but then, as it is said in every tongue, “Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.” Or, as Solomon said in the Bible, “There is nothing new under the sun.” Then, why bother? Because, there are windmills worth tilting your lance and charging.
Don Quixote looked like an old fool trying to be a knight-errant. He was so far beyond his prime. So lacking the means to make a difference. So ineffective that his would be courage became a caricature. And, isn’t he pathetic to believe his love for the unmet Dulcinea is real? His love is perfect, as she is, only in his imagination.
I can relate to the old guy. If I’m alive this time next year, I’ll be 75. That’s a significant milestone. And, if the Good Lord is Willing and I’m able, I’ll be tilting at the windmills of my choice.
Why? Because I can. Because I think it’s my duty. I created a hierarchy of duties to live by when I was 16. Still do.
And, like when I was a boy in the 60’s, “There’s something happening over here.”
The world, Western Civilization, these United States of America, the South, and Virginia are at an inflection point in history. Or, call it a cross roads. By either metaphor, there’s a big change in direction coming. Our families and churches are always changing and need attending – most of all.
Yet, it’s eye-opening to see epochal change. It’s invigorating to try to do your best – regardless of your station in life or condition – for your cause.
The European Ruling Elites as true disciples of Human Secularist Totalitarianism – even if they call themselves “Conservative” and the Islamist Totalitarians are inching towards a horrific “Jacquerie.” When Post-Christian European peasantry finds its manhood to defend itself against Muslim outrages and overwhelming immigration, they’ll be as barbaric as their enemies.
The Illegal Alien issue in the U.S. will prove as complex a Gordian knot as slavery was.
The Left, Human Secularist Totalitarians, in America will fight hard to keep control of 5 of 7 institutions which shape our society, culture, and American Civilization. The Great U.S. Culture War will continue across the institutions of Government – including the Military, Business, Education, Media, Arts and Entertainment, Religion, and Family.
Expunging the Cultural Marxism of DEI and CRT, ESG, and Climate Cultism in a society almost equally divided makes for cultural warfare by attrition, not decisive revolutionary changes.
The clock is ticking on when America gets its October 7th. When, who, where, how bad? Will it be one campaign in the coming world war with China? Or, just the Islamists again?
And, sooner or later, War with China will be World War III, because it won’t be limited to Asia and the Pacific.
Making America Healthy Again, MAHA, will be as challenging as illegal immigration, because of the real money resisting threats to their making money.
Watch every 2024 Campaign promise in 2025 become political theater. Drama, comedy, and tragedy in a play with 4 years as acts. Watch events overseas happen with shocking violence.
Then, given the enormity of the issues and the money, the power, the forces, the passion behind them, why bother?
Because, the ideas which motivate humankind are worth whatever efforts one yeoman can make.
Christianity. A Biblical Worldview. Western Civilization – our branch of American Civilization. The Rule of Law. Individual rights and economic opportunities. Limited government. My short-lived 2007 campaign slogan – Dignity, Justice, Hope. Freedom. Family, family, family. Duty, Honor, Country.
They’re all worth the living. All worth “fighting” to protect, preserve, and promote – as much as one can at any age or condition. All worthy of one’s death in their defense.
All in for all that in 2025.
