Life is not meant to be lived by years, but by moments. Our lives are a tapestry of moments, woven together into stories, and then the stories are stitched together into chapters. These chapters are the sum total of that which we have experienced, felt, desired, loved, created and destroyed.
As it has been said, we cannot change our history, but we can change all future moments through the exercise of our free will. What you were yesterday, does NOT dictate what you must be tomorrow. Tomorrow will be the end result of your decisions and actions that day. Those decisions and actions which you deemed unsatisfactory, can be resolved as you progress through the following day.
If you allow yesterday to command today, you will always be a day behind where you should be in your life. Life is what you make of it. The feeling of personal success springs from the resulting application of knowledge, determination and practice of the knowledge and skills which you have acquired during every prior moment of your life. The only obstacles you cannot overcome are those you either accept as such, or create for yourself. Refuse to be deterred by any obstacle, and become the person you wish to be! BE THE BEST YOU IN ALL THAT YOU DO!
“The push to label the MAGA movement as a cult is gaining momentum, sparking controversy and debate among conservatives. Rich Logis, once an ardent supporter of the MAGA movement, has founded the “Leaving MAGA” initiative. Logis spent seven years immersed in the Make America Great Again ideology before deciding to leave in 2021. His departure was motivated by a growing disillusionment with what he perceived as the movement’s myths and tactics.”

The dictionary definition of the word “cult” is primarily focused on the religious aspect: cult noun ˈkəlt
1: a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious (see spurious sense 2) also: its body of adherents
a: great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work (such as a film or book)
b: the object of such devotion
: a usually small group of people characterized by such devotion
3: a system of religious beliefs and ritual
However, in the world of psychology “cult” is described somewhat differently. Inasmuch as the desire to join a cult is a thought process which occurs in the mind, I tend to lean toward that description. “Destructive individuals and cults use deception and undue influence to make people dependent and obedient. A group should not be considered a cult merely because of its unorthodox beliefs. It is typically authoritarian, headed by a person or group of people with near complete control of followers. Cult influence is designed to disrupt a person’s authentic identity and replace it with a new identity.” Understanding that politics is exactly about control and influence, ones political persuasion is based upon which form of governance one wishes to be controlled by.
Unfortunately, since approximately 1984 many (if not most) of our youth have been indoctrinated into the cult of “Socialism good, Capitalism evil” during what we refer to as our “education system”. Socialism is Communism for slow learners… it was designed and applied as a gateway system of government. Anyone who has paid attention realizes that both are forms of totalitarian rule, and also realizes that anywhere Social-Communism has been installed, it remains only via force of arms. Disarm the people, arm military/paramilitary supporters of Social-Communism, and punish those who openly resist. The only way to remove Social-Communism governance is by engaging in civil revolution.
I am in my ninth decade on this planet, and I have paid fairly close attention since reaching the age of understanding. I believe that our current president – Donald J. Trump – is unquestionably the best leader our Republic has had since George Washington… or at least in my lifetime. He has honored his campaign promises to whatever extent congress has allowed him, he has restored the international respect our republic once had, kept us free of the One World Government/New World Order/Deep State, and modified to a significant degree the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the doorway to the undesirable North American Union!
These so-called “unions” are the guise under which the OWG/NWO/DS would control the world’s population. The European Union was the first step – a test if you will – to determining how easily sovereign nations would surrender their sovereignty to become more common in relation to their neighboring nations. Twenty-eight nations seemed to welcome that concept, and surrendered control to a “parliament” (the European Parliament, primarily located in Strasbourg, France, is an architectural symbol and critical political institution representing the European Union). I can foresee the eventual creation of the North American Union South American Union, Asian Union, Oceanic Union, etc., all consolidated under the One World Government, and virtual enslavement of 90% of the remaining world population, estimated to be a sustainable 500,000,000. The future looks undesirable for the worker ants, but the moneyed elitists will be untouched.
I was born to be a Conservative, politically and emotionally. I am not enthusiastic about governmental overspending, or many of the social control mechanisms. Social control can include laws and punishments, such as prison sentences and fines. These are formal social control mechanisms which are often enforced by the government. Social control also includes informal strategies, such as shaming, stigmatizing, or social exclusion, which are often applied by one’s peers or social group. In addition to negative strategies such as stigmatizing and punishing, positive reactions such as praising or promoting are also parts of social control.
Social Control Examples Media representation: Negative media representation has the effect of stigmatizing social groups and pushing them to the margins of society.
Shaming: Shaming is an informal way of social control. It is often applied by someone’s peers, social group or society to discourage their behaviors or attitudes that are seen as socially unacceptable.
Praising: Praise is an informal social control strategy which often takes place in interpersonal contexts. It is a way to encourage the continuity of a behavior or stance, such as academic success or political activism.
Job promotion: Promoting an employee is a way of social control applied to ensure that they keep improving their job performance and undertake increased work responsibilities.
Curfews: Curfews are methods of social control that ban people from leaving their house after a particular hour. They can be informal curfews, imposed by one’s parents or family, or formal curfews imposed by legal authorities. Curfews apply social control over one’s mobility for various reasons including safety, security, or asserting power.
Stigmatization: Stigmatization refers to asserting negative labels to identities and behaviors. This informal way of social control leads to exclusion and possible marginalization of those whose behaviors or identities are deemed socially undesirable. A specific example is substance abuse which is a topic that is often stigmatized in media and education.
Dress codes: Dress codes include both formal and informal rules, regulations, and expectations about clothing. They include obligations to wear uniforms in workplaces or institutions such as the army and the police forces.
Censorship: Censorship refers to restrictions over news, discourses, and narratives in various contexts. It includes media censorship, social media restrictions, modifications in school curriculums as well as self-censorship due to fear of negative consequences.
Prison confinement: Legal punishments, including imprisonment, are formal aspects of social control which serve the goal of discouraging socially undesirable and illegal behavior (McCarthy, 1990).
Capital punishment: Capital punishment is currently legal in 92 countries while only used in 56 of them (Worlddata, 2022). Some theories argue that death penalty is used to control marginalized communities, for instance Blacks in the United States, who are overrepresented in the death sentence statistics (Tucker, 1969).
Social status: The distribution of social status to certain professions and castes enables society to differentiate between people and control who is listened to and respected, as well as who is marginalized.
Caste systems: Caste systems are formal social norms that separate people into groups based on birth and heritage (aka ascribed status). Being born into a caste and limit what profession you can enter and who you can marry.
Taboos: Taboos are often informal and refer to the things that a society considers impolite and shocking to discuss in public. Legal system: The legal system sets in place the formal norms of a society and institutes a range of punishments for contravening the laws.
Language: Post-structuralist theorists argue that language use can be used as a form of control. For example, refusing to using a trans person’s preferred pronouns (instead using their biologically established status at birth) acts as a means of controlling a person’s self-identification.
The world now teeters precariously on the edge of the Cliff of Social-Communism. We can only avoid it if we refuse to accept it, and the cost of such refusal will be dear!
“California’s new Glock baneffectively strips law-abiding citizens of access to America’s most popular handgun while doing nothing to stop criminals who already possess millions of these firearms or can easily obtain illegal modification devices.”
Based upon my 70+ years of firearms experience, I would estimate that a minimum of 95% of semiautomatic pistol in the US marketplace are Glock clones. The choices of clones are quite limited, basically Glock, Colt, Browning and CZ. When Glock entered the USA in 1985, everyone was laughing at the “plastic pistol”. But…when it became the bestselling pistol in the USA, everybody began cloning it.
I have to question the intelligence of the Kalifornia voters…or possibly the honesty of the Kalifornia electoral system. After eight years of Republican governance under Arnold Schwarzenegger, the “people of Kalifonia” elected Democrat Jerry brown, and followed up with Democrat Gavin Newsom.
California became a sanctuary state on January 1, 2018, when Democrat Governor Jerry Brown signed the California Values Act (SB 54) into law! Considering that there is no such option for “sanctuary” anything in our US Constitution, such status is a violation of that Constitution. At best it could be considered “Extraconstitutional” (extraconstitutional refers to actions or measures that are not authorized by or based on a constitution, meaning they go beyond what is provided for in the governing legal framework).
The states with the highest populations of illegal immigrants are California, Texas, Florida, New York, New Jersey, and Illinois. Together, these states account for a significant portion of the unauthorized immigrant population in the U.S., with California and Texas alone hosting over 4 million undocumented residents. States with high illegal alien rates tend to be within the “most violent” of US states.
WAKE UP CALIFONIANS!Your state is becoming a 3rd world country!
They forgot to include the word “possibly” in that headline. It will only “shake women’s sports” in any manner if SCOTUS fails to recognize that Title IX – a landmark “federal civil rights law in the United States was enacted as part of the Education Amendments of 1972. It prohibits sex-based discrimination in any school or any other education program that receives funding from the federal government.” In 1972, the mental illness of ‘sex choice’ was not an issue. The sex of “women” is – and has always been – female!
The only test for determination of eligibility in “women’s sports”, must be based upon DNA. “The Male and Female DNA differs primarily in the sex chromosomes: males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY), while females have two X chromosomes (XX). This difference in chromosomes influences the development of sexual characteristics and traits.” If a male (XY chromosomes) wishes to fantasize he is a woman, it should be recognized as a psychotic break with reality, and recognition is NOT the same as AGREEMENT/SUPPORT of that fantasy. Fantasies are the product of an impaired mind, and should NOT be supported by the general public. Recognized, yes… supported NO!
Let the transsexual’s choice, permit them to compete against other transsexuals… if they wish to compete. Anything other than that, offends our sense of smell, not to mention our intelligence. The British Supreme Court has confirmed that inclusion and non-discrimination must be balanced against legitimate interests such as fair play and safety — principles that have been long upheld in sport.
The ruling supports a more tailored, evidence-based approach — allowing national governing bodies to impose proportionate eligibility requirements without contravening equality laws.
The US Supreme Court has agreed to review whether state laws can ban transgender athletes from competing in women’s and girls’ sports.
The case concerns laws in Idaho and West Virginia, where two transgender students won injunctions from lower courts allowing them to continue competing.
How the top court rules could have significant implications across the country.
It comes two weeks after the conservative majority court upheld a Tennessee law that bans gender transition care for young people – a ruling that some advocates say delivered a major blow to transgender rights in the US. The Supreme Court will review the cases of Becky Pepper-Jackson, 15, and Lindsay Hecox, 24, who successfully challenged state bans in West Virginia and Idaho by arguing they were discriminatory. Laws are discriminatory only within the letter of the law, it would be truly discriminatory if it permits men to compete against women in competitive sports. DNA MUST BE THE TEST IN COMPETITIVE SPORTS!
Generally speaking (pun intended), General Officers are NOT normally positioned in the forefront of warfighting. Depending on their level in the general ranks, they control combat conditions from a relatively remote Command Site, and their function is primarily administrative. They establish Strategies and Tactics for conducting war, and executing those actions is the domain of lesser officers and enlisted members. Strategies are overarching plans or long-term goals that guide decision-making, while tactics are the specific actions or steps taken to achieve those goals. The youngest general currently serving in the U.S. military is Brigadier General Patrick Teague. He achieved this rank in February 2024 at the age of 43, making him a notable exception in a traditionally seniority-based system. General officers are not youngsters, and his rapid rise through the ranks underscores exceptional talent, dedication, and leadership capabilities.
IMHO, eliminating a General for being overweight or failing to run a mile in under 7 minutes, must be balanced against his success in conducting war. To throw aside a 21st century occidental version of Sun Tzu for physical limitations would be utter and complete foolishness. General officers serve at the pleasure of the POTUS, they are not a commodity, their minds and experience are absolute necessities… unless they were politicallygifted their rank, as opposed to earning it via command excellence! DEI gave us some of those! Our military was severely weakened between 2021 and 2025, when Biden’s handlers were usurping his authority as POTUS, and making national security decisions for Biden. Those handlers should all be arrested/impeached and tried for TREASON!
Psychologically speaking, general officersshouldpresent a role model indress and appearancefor their troops, but that is not their primary purpose. Their main function is trying to insure a war is fought with minimal casualties and deaths among our warriors!
I took a solemn oath to “…support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic”. That oath has no expiration date! YOUR THOUGHTS??
So read the headline, and the opening paragraph was this… “As Russia openly mocks President Trump’s America by warning of “civil war,” foreign propaganda exploits deepening U.S. divisions, challenging America’s strength and unity on the world stage.” That’s somewhat correct, except that Russia’s Putin will have little to no influence over any “civil war” in the United State of America. First off there is no such thing as a civil war, inasmuch as no war has ever been civil. War contradicts the concept of civil, being 180 ° opposed to civility.
The largest threat for fully armed violence in our Republic, is the Democrat Socialist-Communists! The DNC has been co-opted by the Democrat Socialist Party, and our Democrat voters are either unaware of that fact, or just don’t care. I always, and perhaps incorrectly in the English language, hyphenate Social-Communists, because there is about a nickels worth of significant difference between the two tyrannical concepts. Each is totalitarian by design, and either installed by fools, or as the result of armed revolution, and maintained by force of arms, There are no “rights”, as we know them to be in our country, the government makes all the decisions as to food, healthcare and housing. The people are essentially slaves to the state.
Our young have been indoctrinated since 1984 by those who wish us ill – our Education/Indoctrination System, and would like our Republic to be dissolved. A 1987 Pew Research Study showed that 70 percent of Americans identified themselves as “anti-communist.” Today, a College Pulse survey of 10,590 undergraduates reveals that 39 percent of students view socialism favorably, while an equal number have an unfavorable impression of the economic system (18 percent are unsure).
Recent U.S. surveys indicate increasingly favorable views of socialism, at rates far higher than in the past. These results are of particular interest because millions of Americans form their political and economic outlook on college campuses. In the coming years, the ideas students are developing on those campuses will find their way into corporate workplaces, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and other U.S. institutions. How did socialism undergo such an astonishing rehabilitation in such a short time? To answer that question, we must look at what is being taught in these students’ college classrooms. Based on the most commonly assigned college readings, one might conclude the nation’s leading universities are turning into incubators for socialist thinkers! Objective reasoning should tell you that is because the college students have been positively fedSocialist BS since Kindergarten. If he hadn’t been dead for 142 years, Karl Marx would be rejoicing at this revelation!
In 2025, the membership of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) stands at approximately 80,000 active members, reflecting significant growth. There are roughly 205 million Americans over 18 and under 50. I would therefore estimate that roughly 800,000 active believers that the New World Order/One World Government/Deep State should be welcomed with open arms!
I have sworn an oath to “…support and defend the Constitution of the United State against all enemiesforeign and domestic…”, and honoring said oath, I shall stand firmly against those who would destroy that document!
The height and weight standards for male soldiers in the U.S. Army are as follows:
Height Standards
In order to BE the Department of War, said department must be filled with WAR-CAPABLE team members. To that end the following mandatory requirements are now in effect. These exiting standards must be changed in order to have a physically WAR READYgender neutral military… Army Height and Weight Standards For Men (2025)
The minimum height for male soldiers is 60 inches (5 feet, SHOULD BE AT LEAST 66″)
The maximum height is 80 inches (6 feet 8 inches).
Weight Standards
Soldiers exceeding the maximum weight must undergo a body fat percentage test to determine if they are within acceptable body composition limits.
Weight requirements vary based on the soldier’s height, age, and gender.
For example, a 21-27-year-old male soldier who is 5 feet 9 inches tall should weigh between 136 and 179 pounds to meet the Army’s standards.
Army Height And Weight Standards For Women (2025)
The height and weight standards for female soldiers in the U.S. Army are as follows:
Height Standards
The minimum acceptable height for female soldiers is 58 inches (4 feet 10 inches. which is ridiculous. SHOULD BE AT LEAST 66″).
The maximum height is 80 inches (6 feet 8 inches).
Weight Standards
For instance, a 21-27-year-old female soldier 5 feet 4 inches tall should weigh 110 and 144 pounds to fall within the acceptable range.
Weight standards are determined by a combination of height, age, and gender.(SHOULD BE SAME AS MALES)
USMC Height and weight requirements for males:
Male Marines must weigh between 85 and 122 lbs. and be at least 4’8″ (56 inches-SHOULD BE AT LEAST 66″) tall.
For Marines of this height, the maximum height permitted is 6’10” (86 inches), with a matching weight range of 182 to 263 pounds.
USMC Height and weight requirements for females:
Female Marines must also weigh between 85 and 115 lbs. and be at least 4’8″ (56 inches) tall.
The maximum height for female Marines is 6’10”, and they must stay within this height range by weighing between 182 and 248 lbs.
Obviously these requirements will be changed shortly, to simply MILITARY STANDARDS for all branches.No more differentiating male-female standards. WARRIORShave no gender! With the possible exception offemale body builders, a 5’6″ woman weighing 130lbs, will likely be unable to successfully remove a wounded210lb male from the battlefield!
We also have specific types of warriors, like those of SpecOps – SEALs, Delta Force, Green Berets, etc., whose daily survival is dependent on their relatively small-in-numbersteam. none of whom are in less than perfect condition… physically and mentally! Their team mates will not permit less.
IMHO, most females have no place in combat, because they were not raised to be physically strong or aggressive. Those are the traditional/cultural requirements of American males.
“Deconstruction” is a euphemism of our Republic’s SocialistLeft for destruction. This is the goal of The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) founded in 1982, “which platform advocates for a society where all individuals can live dignified lives, emphasizing democratic control over the economy, workers’ rights, and environmental justice. They seek to address inequalities created by capitalism and promote policies that ensure equal access to education, healthcare, and a sustainable environment.” On the surface, their desire sounds fairly reasonable, but closer perusal reveals its true intent. For example, whether one leads a “dignified” life is the individual’s responsibility. True dignity is somewhat of a burden according to the dictionary definition… MERRIAM-WEBSTER DICTIONARY dignity noun
Using that definition, the masses are for the most part, eliminated from the concept of being “dignified”. In fact, it appears that the definition was composed for the rulingelite. By way of explanation, the term “dignified” was first used in 1584, when societies had only three classes – the Haves (moneyed class), the Merchant, and the Have Nots, of which only the Haves were “dignified”… as none who labored were “worthy” by the standards of the Haves. Although generally not defined as such today, class systems exist throughout the world. Social-Communism will not erase class systems, it will emphasize them. The political and socialupper-class will enjoy life, harvesting that which is provided by the labors of the underclass. To confirm my claim, look closely at the social structures ofChina, Cuba, North Korea, Russia, Venezuela and the make-believe “Palestine”.
Socialism is Communism for slow learners! Both systems maintain control byforce of arms, have “elections” in which 98%of the votes are always for the continuing that form of governance (and the other 2% mysteriously “disappear”), provide life-saving medical care for their elites, and life-ending medical care for the worker bees.
Our Socialists will undoubtedly be joined by our Muslims, the BLM movement, theUN and our other assorted anti-American groups. Most of us are aware that the UN, established in 1945 as the replacement for the League of Nations, is the spearhead of the NWO/One World Government/Shadow Government/Deep State (four names, same group – pick your own favorite nom de plume). The UN is also a do nothing, money grabbing, anti-capitalist parasite. The UN Charter “mandates the UN and its member states to maintain international peace and security, uphold international law, achieve “higher standards of living” for their citizens, address “economic, social, health, and related problems”, and promote “universal respect for, and observance of, human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion”. In practice, it does none of these! The UN has never convinced two nations to avoid war, has never ended a war, upheld international law, or much of anything else in its charter! What it does do is collect dues from its 192 “member states”, and charges the USA more for “dues”, than the next five highest dues paying nations combined. We the People should encourage our government to disenfranchise ourselves from the UN!
The Democrat Socialists – and I estimate them to compose a minimum of 80% of registered Democrats – are the radicals who desire transforming our government to socialism. We have witnessed their inaction to curtail violent protests and riots in Democrat-controlled states repeatedly! Themain body of Democrats, is either unaware or simply doesn’t care that the DNC was very slowly coopted by the Social-Communists since the mid-1950s.
The Soros family (specifically father and son), is the best known of radical left financiers. Surprisingly, the two largest national teachers’ unions have also donated tens of millions of dollars to radicalleft-wing organizations in just the past three years. Defending Ed, an education watchdog, compiled a list of National Education Association (NEA) and American Federation of Teachers (AFT) donations between 2022 and 2024. Between the two unions, over $43 million poured into progressive activism. Our education system has been infiltrated by the Social-Communists, at glacial speed, over the last 105 years, to the point that they corrupted the Federal Bureau of Education to the point of notice in 1984! “Control the mind, and you control the body”, is a fairly well-known adage, and the Social-Communists practice that saying in ideological transformation efforts within our classrooms!
BOTTOM LINE… The Democrat Socialists of America is a tool of the NWO/One World Government/Shadow Government/Deep State (four names, one entity). Two hundred members of our Congress (all on the left side of the floor) reportedly have – or have had – some level of association with the DSA! AOC’s pathetic little group are all active member! Removing those Social-Communists who are members of our Legislature, is primary to protecting our Republic and the freedoms recognized therein. Remember this during the mid-term elections!
There are many things in our world to fear, and we fear those things in various degrees. Everything from trying haggis in Scotland to awareness of the possibility of a dying in a fire. The haggis sounds repulsive if you know how it is prepared, but it is absolutely delicious when properly done. On a scale of 10, my fear level in Edinburgh, Scotland was about a 3 figuring if it didn’t kill me, or trigger a severe round of regurgitation, I would survive it… and I was correct.
Of all the ways for my life to end, I believe dying in a fire would be the worst, and just the idea registers a 10, on my fear scale. There is a very slim possibility that will be my life’s grand finale. I have never been a worrier, and in probable reality I have very rarely thought about death at all, but I do accept that we do not live forever, and death itself registers a 1 on my scale of 10. All things are possible, but when balanced against probable likeliness, they are usually relegated to a compartment in our minds. Many people fear death, yet some look forward to it to end physical or emotional pain. I don’t believe that most people spend much time pondering a visit from Thanatotheristes.
Fears are commonplace within most human beings, and most of us have their own particular fears, some founded, and others unfounded. The demons of PTSD affect many people, and they create primarily emotional reactions. Paranoid personality disorder is a personality disorder characterized by paranoia, and a pervasive, long-standing suspiciousness and generalized mistrust of others. Paranoia can be accompanied by fight or flight reactions.
There is one particular fear that infects most people… the fearoffailure! Most people with even a scintilla of intelligence are subject to this fear. Many intelligent people do not recognize this fear. The fear may be there, they just refuse to give it notice. It has been said that Thomas Edison failed to create electricity 10,000 tmes. Edison saw that failure only happened when one surrenders to it, and that failure is nothing more than a stumbling block to the highly motivated, The manufacturers of WD-40 (which stands for what we have today as a Water Displacement chemical, successful on the 40th attempt) did not surrender in their efforts, but pressed on until they created their invention. The signs of failure fearcan be complex or simple. What they indicate is low self-esteem, a condition that is not conducive to success! If anyone reading this has impressionable children (1-16yrs) living at home, understand that self esteem is built in the home. Support you child’s efforts with encouragement and guidance, do not allow them to quit if their first effort is unsuccessful, but do not demand anything. Remember that we are born to be imperfect beings, and that positive reinforcement of accomplishments is the key to helping a child become a successful adult! Positive reinforcement is a type of operant conditioning, a type of learning that uses rewards and punishments to influence behavior. Rewards are given with enthusiasm, corrections are emphatic. The basic idea behind operant conditioning is that we’re more likely to repeat behaviors that are rewarded and less likely to repeat the ones that are punished. Social reinforcers are rewards in the form of social approval, praise, or recognition. For example, even if you don’t receive any money, getting publicly recognized for your contribution to a volunteer organization is a form of social reinforcement. Praising children is another form of social reinforcement that’s been found to be effective. For example, a 2021 article found that praise can be effective in promoting positive student behavior when used correctly. Positive reinforcement of one’s efforts is the foundation of business management, and other authority figures. Failure is easily acceptable to many, but most extremely wealthy people are the result of encouragement and training within the family. On opposite ends of the spectrum, neither Donald Trump nor George Soros accepts failure.

Fear of failure is something I have never truly experienced. I have had occasional doubts about my success in accomplishing a particular new challenge, but I accepted and overcame those challenges. In my nine decades on this world, I am not highly motivated by money, ergo I am not financially wealthy. Success is an individual feeling/emotion in life, a sense of satisfaction that you did your best throughout your life experiences.
Within the Continental United States (CONUS) there are numerousassorted threats…people who wish us ill. Over the centuries, we have assisted much, if not most, nations of the world. That was perhaps an error in our practice of foreign aid. Since the end of WWII, in the last half of the 20th century, the USA has donated $3.75T to the rest of the world via their government(s). That may have been the error… giving the money to the governments, expecting objective disbursal to human needs. Government officials – particularly those in second- and third-world nations – tend to be corrupt in varying levels. Anything of value donated to them, tends to stop and disappear at the highest echelons of governance. From the point of arrival, anything physical may disappear (at an insignificant level) during processing, and before arrival at its intended final destination.
What constitutes a threat to our Republic and its citizens? Organized large groups.Large – for this discussion – being considered composed of more than 1,000 people. Our nationwide educational system, has espoused socialism as being better than capitalism for the past forty-odd years, and we are seeing the results of that with approximately 200 Congress members having some level of relationship with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA (the DSA is a political organization in the United States and the country’s largest socialist organization. DSA is a big tent of socialists on the left-wing to far-left of the political spectrum, primarily under democratic socialism). This has resulted in a very large up-thrust of desire for a Social-Communist form of governance within our citizenry.
MUSLIM INFLUX As of 2025, the estimated Muslim population in the United States is approximately 4.5 million, making up about 1.34% -3% of the total U.S. population. This community is diverse, with no single racial or ethnic majority among its members. Dearborn, MI is controlled by Muslims who make up 54% of its population and tend to vote as a bloc. Muslims are commanded by the Quran to spread throughout the world, replacing all other religions. I conservatively estimate that 3-10% of that population are potentially terrorist-linked toward that end.
UNVETTED FOREIGN INVADERS From Jan 21, 2021-Jan 20th, 2025, roughly 15,000,000-20,000,000 unvetted foreigners were permitted to enter our Republic, from nations around the world. Such unwanted carelessness is another threat to our Republic, and I estimate as many as 10%-20% of that number are potential terrorists or other anti-American ideologies.
SOCIAL-COMMUNISTS Approximately 36% of American adults view socialism positively, with a higher percentage among younger individuals, where 62% of those aged 18-29 express favorable views towards socialism. However, the exact number of citizens who identify as socialists can vary based on definitions and interpretations of socialism. This threat is particularly worrisome, because it encompasses American youth… the leaders of tomorrow. If this Social-Communist belief is not corrected we will lose our Republic and its attendant freedoms within 10 years, as desired by the One World Government/New World Order/Shadow Government! These are the people who hate the USA, and permit unvetted and unlimited illegal intrusions, freebies for illegals, vote against that which ius good for America, stage violent protests and riots, burning, looting and vandalism of public and private property.
UNAPOLOGETICALLY AMERICAN
