Progressivism, formerly known as Liberalism, is a death cult, as is Marxism in all its manifestations. “Formerly known as” because its bitter, deadly fruits were becoming just a tad too well known so it was necessary to swap the moniker, the mask, for something fresher. No matter, it is all the same old serpent, regardless how you dress it up. It is designed to kill, its sole purpose is to kill, its aim and goal is death, misery and despair. Robert Conquest had it right: the four great accomplishments of Communism are, always and everywhere, famine, terror, mass murder and failure, failure, failure.
A
s Eve was seduced by the serpent and persuaded her husband to give the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil at taste, thereby ushering sin and death into the world, just so does that same serpent tempt millions to take a bite of Socialism to their ultimate destruction, about 150,000,000 so far. One hundred and fifty million. Just as Eve could not say “No” to the blandishments of the serpent, and Adam did not say “No” to the pleading of his wife, just so millions say “Yes”, only because millions more say nothing at all.
I’m looking at you, Silent Majority.
Oh, granted, they have us out organized six ways from Sunday, and always did. Or rather, we were organized in different ways for different purposes. They are organized for Revolution, the great cause of ushering in the Glorious World of Next Tuesday. We were organized to build our businesses, work our jobs, join our associations of interest, raise our families and worship our God. None of that interests them except in so far as they need to destroy it to build their perfect Hell of a world.
To do that they have their corrosive fingers in every pie, seeking how better to corrupt and poison it. Their aim is to crash the system and so reduce us to such a state of hunger and terror that we will demand that someone, anyone, step in and restore the very public services they destroyed. And of course they will have just who the desperate public will clamor for, ready in the wings to step into the light and restore order, so long all the rest of us cede or rights to make way for the restoration order.
We aren’t there yet, though we did have Immaculate Barry, so like a god, who was the one we had been waiting for. He set the stage for the 
Hilldebeast, whose greatest ambition was and remains to be the spider at the center of the biggest web and of every web. Game of Thrones ain’t in it. Their hour has passed. You can bet that whoever they are going to trot out it won’t be one of the clowns now capering across the campaign trail. Their dream is out nightmare.
But even as they tighten their grip on the institutions of our nation, culture and civilization, the plan is collapsing. It may not look like it, they seem still to be in the ascendant everywhere, but they are losing. One of the tells is their panic about President Trump. Another is the importance ascribed to the Broad Squad. Another is their panic about just about everything.
With good reason. Every institution they infiltrate they destroy. Look at Gillette. Two Social justice themed ads and the company loses 8 billion dollars. When the attempt to destroy companies that oppose their twisted values, those companies thrive, 
witness Chick-fil-A, now the number 1 fast food restaurant in the country. I had never heard of until the Gay Mafia decided to call a national boycott because their CEO is a Christian who does not support the same sex simulation of marriage, they had their best day ever in the history of the company.
People are noticing that the Left’s formula doesn’t benefit them, and they are rejecting it in ever greater numbers. It doesn’t work, it can’t work it will never work. Although there are many useful idiots who 
support the madness, especially in academe, increasingly ordinary people recognize that the left is some kind of scam and are instinctively turning away from it. Some of those who do walk away do so at great personal cost. And some who do so triumph despite the cost.
We tend to get really focused on the battle we are waging to retain and restore our nation to a functioning Constitutional Republic, getting all wrapped up in who’s said what and who else has done what outrage. I know I certainly do. Thus it is a relief when somebody puts the situation into perspective by opening my eyes to the bigger picture. Such a man is Fr. Richard Heiman of Madison, WI.
The Demoncrats have been very successful at making California a one party State, which does not mean that some measure of victory is possible for Republicans. It does mean that it winning will be hard work. Over at the 
The big problem with Jeffrey Epstein’s “suicide” isn’t so much that the Clinton crime family rubbed out another witness, but that it undermines confidence in the legitimacy of government and law. Let’s not be coy about it, this was a hit to silence a witness. Epstein was famous for sex trafficking underage kids for the rich and powerful. Bill Clinton, The Bubba of Scuzz took no fewer than 26 trips on Epstein’s Lolita Express, and Hillary, Huma in tow, six. You can bet that three people were absolutely unsurprised by Epstein’s mysterious death, Bill, Hillary and Epstein himself; he had to have seen it coming.
Epstein’s death points not only to the most likely puppetmasters, but to the absolute inability of the organs of justice and law enforcement to protect a witness and carry out their most basic duties in the face of corrumpt political actors. If someone as wealthy, famous and well connected cannot be protected then neither can any of the rest of us “little people” without those benefits. The system has shown itself not only powerless, but corrupt and illegitimate. The public cannot trust the police, the justice system or, by extension, any of the organs of government.
Except that some clearly deem themselves above the law. Even though they don’t name themselves, don’t publicly declare their law exempt status and dutifully pay lip service to the law, their blatant disregard for and contempt of the law marks them as lawless. All can see them flouting the law and suffering no consequences .
The recent shootings in El Paso and Dayton have once again brought out both America’s compassion for victims and the Left’s endless thirst to create more victims by disarming us. Suddenly the left is pushing “common sense solutions” that involve depriving us of our natural and Constitutional rights.
According to the 
If these mighty hand wringers aren’t concerned about the welfare of the citizens, why the crocodile tears? Because they fear that an armed citizenry would interfere with their plans to turn America into a one party collectivist totalitarian police state where Mao’s dictum “political power comes from the barrel of a gun” and they have all the guns. These “common sense” measures; more background checks, more gun registrations, more ammo control and red flag laws; are more steps in that direction.
Something else that nobody wants to talk about is the fact that we have the Democrats to thank for all these loons wandering around, it was they who ended involuntary commitment on humanitarian and civil rights grounds and closed all the psych hospitals. Deprived of places where they could be contained and cared for they wander our streets, incompetent, incontinent, unsupervised and self medicating on crack,meth and God knows what else.
These proposed Red Flag laws are designed to be abused. A few years back we had the phenomenon of SWATing, in which an anonymous caller would call the police and report that someone at a given address was in the process of murdering a family member. The police would send a SWAT team over, bust the door down and go in shooting. Presumably under the Red Flag they would send the SWAT team over, ring the doorbell at 5AM and simply confiscate the victim’s guns. So far only a few home owners have been shot.
Are you comforted yet? Then how about this, if Leftist lunatics are willing to confront and dispense violence against MAGA hat wearers will they be more or less willing to call in a Red Flag report on some Deplorable they’ve taken a dislike to? You get three guesses and the first two don’t count. So you’d best be on your best behavior and keep your opinions to yourself because you never know when some self righteous commie snitch might call a Red Flag party at your house, and you’ll have no idea who it was, even if you survive it. You might have your suspicions, and turn about is fair play, opening up an endless cycle of denunciation and retaliation.
Back in 2016 Trump quite properly ran against Red Flag laws. Yesterday he said he was considering supporting them. The GOP in Congress, quite predictably, has permitted itself to be stampeded into going along with the Commicrat’s calls for them. Huh, you’d almost think they had no principles, including upholding and defending the Constitution they all swore to uphold and defend. If some such federal law passes Congress, as seems likely, and lands on the President’s desk, he might just sign it. If he does that the Donks will take the White House in 2020.
Then it’s Кэти bar the door.
The Good Book tells us that the truth will set you free. That it will first make you miserable is not much discussed save among those who recognize that they are not free and desperately wish to be so. Shackles of the mind are always antecedent to shackles of the flesh. Living in freedom is a constant discipline of crucifying the flesh, that is, subordinating it to the truth. This is true for individuals and organizations from families, to companies, to nations.
The war that recently erupted between President Trump and Representative Cummings is happening precisely because Trump told a truth about Cummings’ district in Baltimore. Baltimore is a disaster. Upon hearing this, to no one’s surprise, Cummings and his cronies immediately got miserable. The entire orchestra of wailing and gnashing of teeth is an exercise in attempting to silence, in this case, Trump the truth teller in preference to embracing the cross.
Embracing the cross means accepting responsibility, in the immortal words of W.C. Fields, “Take the bull by the tail and face the situation.” Nobody likes that, and nobody likes that less than politicians, and among politicians none hate it so much as those who have colluded for years in creating, maintaining and amplifying the situation. Cummings and the Democrats had the chance, still have it, to admit the truth rather than fight to keep their cover from being pulled.
But Trump yanked the covers off Baltimore and now Baltimore, and Cummings and the Donks, are exposed to national humiliation. Their first response was to restore their cover by crying Racism! If you didn’t know it, racism is the new wolf. All it really means is “I don’t like the truth you told so I’m going to call you names till I make you cry and run home because I don’t have a rational counter argument so I’ll pretend to be morally superior so shut up, you bad man.” But Trump won’t cry, won’t run home and won’t shut up.
Dr. Carson suggested that an important part of the solution to Baltimore’s problems should be handled at the individual level. But his recommendation doesn’t fit the Narrative that 1. Government is the solution for every problem and 2. the values of the sexual revolution are the only values. Here is Dr. Carson’s solution to poverty that anyone can work on the individual level:
This is what needs to be promoted in our schools. Instead we have the LGBQT-whatever-the-hell agenda being shoved down everybody’s throat. Yes, it promises easy and consequence free sex – but it is a trap and a train wreck for the individual and for society.
