Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
Diane describes how a hero with a gun saved dozens of lives during a recent school shooting in Bend, Oregon. Kaylub Giamanco, a father with two daughters in that school, entered and shot the killer. George, Diane & Steve compare today’s youth with their classmates in the 1950s & 1960s.
Six years ago, the rise of the “Bernie bros” supporting avowed socialist candidate Bernie Sanders (I-VT) raised the question of whether decades of soft indoctrination about the “horrors” of capitalism by the Democrat-media complex and the oft-promised but never delivered benefits of socialism had finally produced enough voters willing to elect their way out of free enterprise.
It’s a mess, that’s what it is. When you land in Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Third World International Airport, you’re walking into a battle zone.
My student had nowhere to sleep.
His parents threw him out at graduation, so I asked Bernie Sanders, a socialist with three houses, to let the kid use one. I’m still waiting. Saturday night in Bangor, Bernie told 600 people the rich are the problem.
The Democrats’ hatred for Trump knows no bounds. Their craving to set themselves apart from Trump has led to an alliance with communists and Islamists.
There is a global effort as well, organized and funded, that is spreading mayhem, chaos, crime, and dissatisfaction among Western nations. Many of them are inside the governments of France, the UK, the United States, and many others.
Officials from 17 states are challenging S&P Global Ratings, Moody’s and Fitch over climate-related ESG risk assessments they argue could damage state credit ratings and divert funding from roads, schools and pensions. #foxbusiness #bigmoneyshow
If Socialists, Islamists & Communists get their way and enact “Medicare For All.” Federal bureaucrats will decide if you are “worthy” of receiving medical treatment. If not, you will be pushed into committing doctor-assisted suicide. Canada is a prime example of its poor treatment of patients.
Technology is advancing today at break-neck speed. As I mentioned in a previous message, research now shows that by the end of this year, technology and human knowledge will be doubling every twelve hours! I can’t comprehend that. Can you?
About 5,500 years ago, humanity built one of its first great cities at Uruk—and immediately discovered bureaucracy. Farmers grew barley, workers got paid in beer, priests managed enormous institutions, merchants worried about supply chains, and somebody invented writing largely because somebody else needed to keep track of the inventory. We hadn’t figured out indoor plumbing, but apparently the quarterly barley report was already overdue. Five thousand years later, we have smartphones, nuclear weapons and artificial intelligence, but the basic operating system hasn’t changed much. Civilization arrived when we built cities, invented government, created taxes—and then invented paperwork to keep track of all three.
Amid the noise of judging yesterday on today’s morals, a far more pervasive and intellectually dishonest form of censorship is being overlooked: the ongoing sanitization of historical fiction and classic literature.
Baby-boomers and their now adult children, due to their sheer numbers, have created the greatest sustained economic boom in history. The demand they created for consumer goods spawned whole industries to service their egocentricity including, but not limited to: credit purchases, electronics, up-scale vacations, and healthcare. Contrary to previous generations, they seem impervious to inflation – gas five bucks/gallon – so what? Their powerful ramifications have kept the USA a world leader.
Solzhenitsyn’s address delves deeply into the concept of “man with a capital ‘M’,” critiquing the modern, inflated perception of human potential and autonomy. He warned against the hubris of believing that mankind could solve all problems through reason and science alone, a belief that has only intensified in the contemporary era. This illusion, he argued, neglects the spiritual dimensions of human existence and leads to a profound disconnection from the divine.
Politicians and other oxygen thieves have no desire to advance us, and are not capable of improvement. They just hold on to the status que, as long as they are on top.
In his Harvard address, Solzhenitsyn offered a scathing critique of ideological conformity, which he perceived as a threat to genuine intellectual and moral freedom. He warned against the dangers of a monolithic worldview imposed by the state or society, which stifles individual thought and suppresses dissent. This critique remains strikingly relevant today, as various ideological forces seek to dominate public discourse and marginalize opposing viewpoints.
Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s 1978 Harvard commencement address, “A World Split Apart,” serves as a profound critique of the spiritual and moral decay in Western societies. Solzhenitsyn foresaw a decline rooted in materialism and a departure from spiritual values, a perspective that resonates even more powerfully in today’s context. He warned of a society increasingly driven by consumerism, where the quest for comfort and wealth eclipses the pursuit of higher moral and spiritual ideals. This crisis of the human spirit, he argued, leads to a shallow existence, devoid of deeper meaning and true fulfillment.
It’s very sad to see what’s happened to Canada in the past several decades. What was once a nation of freedom, founded on Christian morals and values, has devolved into a tyrannical, secular humanist, cultural Marxist society, and as that’s happened, Canada has completely lost it’s moral compass, leaving citizens in a state of delusion, self-indulgence and sin.
Suicide recognizes no race. So, if you are hurting right now, skip my whole article. Call or text 988 instead. Veterans, press 1. It is free, it runs 24 hours, and the person who picks up does not care what color you are or who you voted for. Okay. The rest of you, pull up a chair. Class is in session.
History teaches us that wars rarely begin with the first shot. Long before the tanks move, capital flees, talent leaves, economies fracture, alliances shift, and nations begin using every tool of power except the one labeled “military.” From brain drain to DIME, Clausewitz, game theory, nuclear deterrence and the Madman Theory, the warning signs are usually there. The problem isn’t that history doesn’t teach us anything. It’s that humans keep waiting for the shooting before admitting the war has begun.
Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The windchill is negative four and I can no longer feel my unmentionables. I’m about to play my fiddle and tell funny stories to a room of people at the community center.
The three Muhammads, the plan they wrote down, the countries that already lived it, and why the American Left is holding the door open.
Yes, the capitalization is a pun. Khomeini named America “the Great Satan.” Big Devil. U-S-A. Us. I teach high school, and there is a clause somewhere in my contract requiring at least one terrible pun per lesson. Box checked. Moving on.
