Buy American! The Job you Save May Be Your Own

I'm not an economist. On one hand, you can make the argument that I don't have the advanced education and resulting philosophy to understand the nuances of international commerce...and you'd be correct. On the other hand, I then must base my understanding and opinions on life's experience, personal observation and common sense. Maybe good, maybe bad but it is what it is.

I observe that the cheaper an item is in the store, the more likely that it is made/produced in another country and imported to the United States. International trade. Walmart is an excellent example. Part of the reason that Walmart can out price our locally owned small businesses is because Walmart buys in huge lots, getting a volume discount for the goods they market. The other, very obvious, reason that things at Walmart are so much cheaper is because it appears that a large percentage of their goods are made in China. Chinese production has very little overhead since their workers are little more than slave labor and they take no notice of environmental concerns. The same can be said about many of our international trade partners.

So, if President Trump slaps tariffs on their imported goods, that increases their over head, thus increasing prices. I would think that would then negate the advantage of buying foreign goods over American Made. If pricing is comparable, then the (usually) higher quality American Made products sould be more attractive. Also, local small business, fighting the Big Box Stores, are suddenly on a price parity with those big chain competitors, which should make local businesses even more attractive to the customer base.

The complaints I hear, from the highly educated and thus much better informed economists, who are crying about President Trump's tariff ideas, is that the tariffs constitute what amounts to a sales tax on those imported goods, because the tariff prices will be passed on to the consumer. This is a case where the economists and I are in total agreement. Tariffs will increase the prices of imported goods.

So. What's the solution, for those of us on the consuming end? Seems pretty simple to me. If the toaster, car, package of steaks or vacuum cleaner, which has been imported from another country, is of equal or greater cost than the same product made right here in America...BUY AMERICAN! The job you save may be your own!

Maybe Walmart will find it advantageous to begin stocking their shelves with the higher quality American Made products, since there will no longer be such a profound wholesale price difference. Maybe Costco will begin stocking meat products produced in the United States instead of Canadian or Australian beef or pork. Maybe more Fords, Chevys and Dodges will be sold than KIAs and Hondas.

It just seems so simple to my uneducated and unsophisticated mind. If tariffs create more demand for American Made goods, then more American jobs will result, creating more wealth for Americans, who will then use that wealth to buy more American made goods, which will result in more American jobs, which will result in more wealth with which to buy more American made products. Hmmm?

If You Vote For Kamala, You're An Idiot

Ok. I've tried to explain the truth about this election, using common sense, facts and logic. I've been polite and respectful. Some of the people with whom I've debated I know personally and I've always had and shown respect for them. They are, at heart, good people and in the past, I've enjoyed their company. We've been able to debate Harris vs. Trump with good humor and have not insulted each other.

I bought groceries yesterday. I'm tired of being nice. I am going to just say what I think, not only here on my page but even when I comment on theirs. I'm guessing there are a lot of blocks coming because the truth will hurt.

I paid over $80 today for two little bags of groceries. And I'm not an extravagant shopper! I buy the less expensive stuff usually and certainly today. In addition, I drove back and forth to my summer job this year and my gas for the summer is over $1600!

So, don't tell me what the Propaganda Media says about the Biden economy. They can blow smoke up my...all they want, I'm not falling for it. I don't want to argue about the weaponless "Insurrection" or whether Trump said mean things about pussies years ago. I don't want to argue about his felony convictions. Let the courts handle that. It's legal for him to be President. Ok. That argument is done. Whether Trump or Biden managed the Covid hysteria better has no bearing on this election. It's over. Get over it. Even whether Third World illegal immigrants are eating pets is of no interest to me. If prices keep going like they are now, we may ALL be eating our pets!

Let's just focus on the FACT that we enjoyed a great economy during the Trump Presidency. $80 bought a lot more groceries four years ago than it does today. Gas prices were nowhere near as high. We have suffered massive inflation during the last four years. We've seen our gas prices skyrocket. None of this occurred during the Trump Presidency.

For now, we can pretend that Clueless Kamala and/or President Cabbage actually had some control over our country during the current Regime. Personally, I don't believe it but, whatever. In THAT case, she has absolutely no business being promoted from failed V.P. to will-fail President. The record of the Biden/Harris Regime is clear. Two little bags of groceries costs $80! That's the record. That's what you idiots want to vote for?! More of the same suffering we "enjoy" today?

Yes. There are other issues. The border? Oh. I'm sorry, you don't want to talk about that? You'd rather discuss Agenda 2025? F.U. Let's stick to what we know. We know that inflation for the last four years and today is an utter disaster. We know that It WASN'T during Trump.

We know that there are currently millions of illegal immigrants in our country who have been bussed and flown throughout our country. These Third World people are over burdening our entire system, causing even MORE economic problems. This wasn't happening under Trump.

We know that over 16000 of those same immigrants are sex offenders from other countries...unsupervised. We don't even know where they ARE! We know that over 13000 of these illegal people are convicted murderers. Again, we don't know where they are. Just another instance of "Trump was right". https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/tens-of-thousands-of-illegal-immigrants-with-sexual-assault-homicide-convictions-roaming-us-streets-ice-data/ar-AA1rkVfh?ocid=socialshare

Kamala was in office during all this destruction of our country. She and Biden were the visible heads of our government during all this and the blame lies solely with them, if only because they allowed it all to be done.

Bottom line? ANYone who even THINKS about voting for Cackling, Clueless Kamala joins her in one thing. You're an idiot! If that useless sack of skin becomes President, we'll soon be fighting each other for scraps of food. Watch "The Hunger Games" or "The Postman".

Why Vote For President Trump?

Trump Is the Last Barricade Between Us and Global Government

One world Government Is Already In Charge

Trump: last barricade between us and the Global Government

I don't, for a single second, blame the current state of our country on Poor Old Biden or Clueless Kamala. Neither of them has been in charge since they were Installed in the office. They are simply puppets of a shadowy group of puppetmasters who have actually been running things for a long time. At least since JFK.  And make no mistake.  This cabal is pure evil and Satan himself is at the controls.

These same people were pulling Barack's chains and would very likely have come out of hiding and completely taken over if Hillary had been elected. They certainly had control of Bill and she would have agreed to be Their face if They'd let her be elected. But, somehow, Their wires got crossed and They wound up with President Trump. A completely uncontrollable person on whom They had not counted. He really wasn't supposed to win!

So, They, through Their controlled media and many controlled politicians, did Their best to

undermine everything President Trump wanted to do. "Russia! Russia! Russia!", the Steel Dossier, impeachments...none of it worked. So, They fired one of Their big guns; Covid. Probably before it was completely developed. But, it panicked enough of us to get better control of the population, first with masks, then lockdowns and; "what the Hell?" might as well bring out "the vaccine". Use it to get rid of a few more of us and get some free-thinkers and malcontents out of important jobs, like emergency services, hospitals and the military.

Covid gave Them opportunities to steal the election, right in front of us. Then, Their puppydog media made enough of us disbelieve our lying eyes about the stolen election that, now, it's just "the big lie". It IS the Big Lie. But the lie is from Them, claiming that the election was NOT stolen. That's the lie.

Install Poor Old Biden; a demented old fool who will do or say whatever They want and he even came with his own controller...Jill. Use Kamala as the second chair. For one thing, no one wanted to impeach POB since that cackling idiot was next in line so she was "impeachment insurance". But, Clueless Kamala is even more controllable than POB. And she's concious enough to actually AGREE to being an out-front puppet.

But that damned Trump just won't take a hint! Here he comes again. So, hit him with lawsuits in friendly courts. Use the DOJ to charge him criminally. Tie him up in courts, take as much of his money away as They can and maybe he'll either catch on and back off or They can get him into jail or at least turn the country against him.

Well, it didn't work. We recognized what They were doing and everything They tried just made us more adamant that Trump is our guy. And they pissed Trump off, making him more aggressive, rather than less.

At the same time, POB was getting so obviously out of it that even the compromised media couldn't keep it hidden any more. So, start grooming "Plan B". Yes, she's an idiot, but she's a compliant idiot and with, once again, the help of the media, maybe They could make her look good enough to get past the Trump bump.

Didn't work, though. Even the fake media and rigged polls couldn't get it to look good enough for Them to steal it again. They know They'll need to be a little more circumspect this time because we're watching now. And (so far) nothing like Covid to confuse the issue.

So, They decide that They have to kill him. But, apparently, good help is hard to find. Maybe the Mafia isn't willing to cooperate this time and both the people They get to try it are morons and either got themselves killed (Shut THAT mouth!) or caught.

That's where we are today. What's Their next move? Well, I've said for years that President Trump should hire his own security and give the Secret Service the day off. How about Blackwater? They'll almost certainly not stop trying to kill him. The lawfare is on hold. Maybe get WWIII started before the election? I predicted that three months ago. I think it's still possible that we only have a few weeks left before the world blows up.

Their agenda is on the line if President Trump is re-elected. Especially if we can then get the

Hillbilly elected for a couple of terms. That might actually get us back on track and send Them back across the pond to lick Their wounds and work out a new plan. Don't think that They'll be gone, though. They've pretty much got everybody else in line. I think we're the last holdout; bastion of freedom.

I think that, if we lose this election, we lose it all.

One World Government is Already In Charge

Who is actually running our country?

Why Vote For Trump?

It all comes back to the record. During the Trump administration, we had lower inflation, higher employment, lower gas prices, fewer wars/conflicts. Our strategic oil reserves were full while we were a major exporter of energy. Our border was under considerably better control and getting stronger. The basic question; "Are you better off now than you were during the Trump Presidency?" That's the bottom line.

The Biden/Harris regime has brought us record inflation, greater unemployment, higher gas prices, loss of energy reserves, a border invasion and greatly increased crime rates nationwide. The disastrous debacle in Afghanistan made us such an international laughingstock that Russia and Hamas each decided it was safe and effective to initiate major wars.

As we sit here today, the possibility of our being drawn even more into those wars is strong. Simply because we have no elected leadership and the actual leadership is anti-American and incompetent. Unless, of course, Their aim is to destroy the United States. In that case, the people who have been running our country for the past 3+ years are Extremely competent as we've never been closer to total breakdown as we are at this moment.

A big part of the problem is that the Biden/Harris regime has not been controlled by our elected officials. I wish it were as simple as "Biden and Harris did that". It isn't. Poor Old Biden (POB) has been in the grip of advanced dementia pretty much since his (s)election. Harris was doing nothing, other than lying about POB's decline. Our country has been run, for the past 3+years, by a shadowy cabal in the background, who do NOT have the best interests of the United States at heart. At this point, it's even more obvious, as Harris is travelling around the country, reading teleprompters, while POB is at the beach.

Who is actually running our country?

Biden/Harris have been, at best, phoning in their part in governance. It looks as if the two have

deliberately abdicated their positions to outside influencers and have just been talking heads, with no actual control. POB certainly has not had any real influence on the actions of our "government" as he isn't mentally capable and hasn't been for a long time. WE all know that, or Harris wouldn't have been installed as the Dem "nominee".

President Trump has a proven track record. All the doom and gloom that was predicted during the 2016 election never came to pass. He didn't start any new wars. He ended some. His economy was great, the border was secured and business was booming. We KNOW his ideas work because we've SEEN his ideas work. And, most importantly, They can't control him! That's why They have been working so hard, using every possible means, including attempted murder, to keep President Trump from being back in office and putting a stop to Their efforts to overthrow our way of life.  President Trump has literally taken a bullet for our country!

My hope and prayer is the we re-elect the Outlaw, who can then work to put our country back together. Then, two terms of the Hillbilly to make the whole thing more permanent.

We'll see happy families, good jobs, a productive and thriving economy, secure borders and reduced crime. We'll see our infrastructure improved, business, manufacturing and production return and tensions in the world reduced.

Under a Harris puppet regime, we'll see just more of the same that we've seen this last 3 and a half years. Exactly the opposite of what I've expressed above. The financial, social and safety decline will just continue until we are unrecognizable. If we aren't devastated by WWIII, which is a significant possibility if the current Regime continues.

Pretty simple, really. Do we want to continue the national decline and destruction of our way of life or do we want to go back to the days of a growing and vibrant economy, secure borders and more peaceful world?

One World Government Is Already In Charge

Who is actually running our country?!

When I actually write out these things, the current situation and the goals involved become obvious. Just one Conspiracy Theory being either true or likely true doesn't ring alarm bells as much as actually writing it all out. Just the true events of the last few years read like a Science Fiction novel. A scary one.

Poor Old Biden has obviously not been mentally present for at least three years and probably more. This isn't news and it isn't conjecture. Everybody knows now what was right in front of us the whole time. Kamala Harris was one of those who actively concealed this fact from the American people. 




The question becomes: "Who has been running the United States these last four years? And, since Harris is spending all of her time trying to be installed as President while P.O.B. is on the beach; well, who is running the country now? 

I just don't understand why this isn't a more prevalent theme on the new media of podcasts and social media. Why do I seem to be the only one concerned about who or WHAT is actually making decisions and orders pertaining to our Country? Kamala is reading teleprompters all over, trying to look like she's campaigning so the steal isn't COMPLETELY obvious. President Cabbage has just checked out and is living at the beach. Obviously, SOMEone is driving the bus. but, who and to what catastrophic destination?

For a thinking person, I feel this also brings out the question of the last Presidential Election. Was it stolen, as President Trump and many of us believe? Or, is the Main Stream Media telling the truth for once and that is just "The Big Lie"? I agree with naming it "The big Lie" but, the lie is that it was fair and legal. The last election was anything but.

It seems obvious that the shadowy, One World Government leaders have clandestinely taken over our country, through Their well executed overthrow plan. A plan which is very much still active and we are still in play.

They have been working on overthrowing the United States for a long time. At least since the Kennedy Assassination. The Bush/Clinton dynasties were a part of it and then They installed Obama as President, who then managed to pave the way for Their more active involvement in the U.S..  Hillary was supposed to be installed in the office and would most likely have completed the take-over. But, a wrench got thrown into the machinery. A wrench named Trump. I can only imagine the consternation and anger expressed at the New World Order meeting after President Trump won the election that They had considered a done deal!

So, a quick changeover to "plan B". "Russia, Russia, Russia"; the Steel Dossier, impeach President Trump for things that Their puppet Biden had done. Make up ways to derail the President's efforts at rebuilding the country that Their puppets had been deliberately destroying from within.

Let's look at some of the events of the last few years in that light. As elements of a well thought out plan. Also, read where I re-posted an article from the Coffee and Covid blog which easily illustrates how the One World Government (or, New World Order) is ALREADY in charge, worldwide. They just aren't letting it be acknowledged...yet. (https://cowboyentertainer.blogspot.com/2023/01/one-world-government-is-already-in.html)

It's become obvious that Covid was developed in a lab in Wuhan, funded by the United States Government. Did it escape the lab or was that a deliberate event? After watching the way things have progressed over the last few years, I lean towards "deliberate".

Covid accomplished a number of things for Them. First, it removed many of the older, infirm, non-productive citizens from the world, reducing the population and getting some "problems" out of the way at the same time. Next, They were able to test and insure compliance of the majority of the world population; first with the ridiculous mask mandates, then the shut down. They were able to mandate how and where we could worship, strengthen the hold of major retailers and get control of our healthcare. Then, They were able to, through our expanding compliance, get many to allow injection of Their "vaccine" and continued injections since.

These compliance efforts identified those who are not "team players" and had to be removed from positions of importance. Witness the firing of Police/Fire/Medical/Military personnel who refused to get "The Shot" and replacing them with people who will "go along". An obvious major move in Their plan.

At the same time, They were able to use the reactions to Covid to cloud the re-election of President Trump, using mail in ballots and more propaganda to take control of the election.

All these things were accomplished using various allies but one of the most effective allies has been the State Run Media. They had to censor all Social Media in order to keep us from being informed outside their controlled talking heads and now, with Zuckerberg's admission on record, we can prove They did. https://rumble.com/v5cu3wc-zuckerberg-admits-biden-harris-administration-pressured-facebook-to-censor-.html

Watch ALL the media saying exactly the same thing!

President Trump and to a lesser extent, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, have been attacked on all sides in an extreme effort to keep either of them from being elected to office. Made up legal issues, both civil and criminal, have kept President Trump in court and have clouded his record for the election. Efforts to keep President Trump off the ballots didn't work but DID work against RFK. RFK joining with President Trump was a master counter move.

They selected (not E-lected) Kamala Harris, an already easily controllable puppet, as the

Notice: no crowd reflection on engine

Democrat Candidate against the re-election of President Trump and are now manipulating the media message to make it look as if she could be fairly elected. It seems obvious that They plan to do the same thing with this election as They did with the last. 

I expect that the upcoming Presidential Election and to a lesser extent, the down-ballot elections, will be manipulated even more than the last one. Maybe this time They will be a little more covert about it but: why should they? It was done blatantly and in our face last time and Their media and puppet politicians were able to make it so anyone who still believes their lying eyes about the last election is considered just a nut case and unreliable.

Kamala Harris has been doing Their bidding all along and will certainly continue so to do, especially if installed as President.

We're in trouble, folks and have been for a long time. President Kennedy warned us and planned to expose it all so he was killed. President Trump is not a part of Their club and is not willing to do Their bidding so They are going all out to get rid of him. Don't think They are done with the lawfare, character, business and financial destruction. President Trump really damaged Their plans by beating Their expected puppet in 2016. They had to go into emergency mode to keep him from accomplishing all that he wanted and now, to keep him from doing it again. So far, They have tried to murder him twice and both times we have understandable questions about the Secret Service commitment to President Trump's safety.

If you want to see where we're headed, watch "The Hunger Games"

Don't comply! Let's say that again...Do Not COMPLY!  And VOTE!!

Kamala — In Her Own Words

The Biden/Harris Legacy (An excerpt from https://www.malone.news/)

This is a part of todays message from Doctor Robert Malone 

"The Biden/Harris Legacy
Weaponized government, hate, divisiveness, censorship, propaganda, Ukraine War, Afghanistan withdrawal, #PsyWar, Corruption, Stolen election, and Assassination attempts.

Robert W Malone MD, MS
Sep 17, 2024

Take a moment to think about this. Under the Biden/Harris administration, we now have two unsuccessful attempts to assassinate the former President of the United States. The Biden/Harris administration has repeatedly refused to provide enhanced Secret Service protection to President Trump during this run for re-election. Concurrent with and immediately before both attempts, Biden and Harris have repeatedly used inflammatory rhetoric targeting President Trump.

Regarding the Biden/Harris presidential administration, what will history record? I suggest that it is likely that the Biden/Harris administration will be recorded as highly corrupt and incompetent. An administration with a constant appetite for war and other foreign adventures (Nordstream, for example) and yet curiously incompetent in the management of war. Witness the withdrawal from Afghanistan and the enormously expensive and mismanaged Ukrainian misadventure.

An administration that was entirely in bed with Big Pharma, and responsible for one of the most significant public health mismanagement fiascos in recorded history (the COVIDcrisis). Promoters of globalism and enhanced powers and funding for the World Health Organization (the Pandemic Treaty and revision of the International Health Regulations). This administration completely disregarded established post WWII norms in bioethics and informed consent, and quite literally committed the violent act of forced vaccination of millions (including armed forces personnel) with unproven, inadequately tested, gene-therapy based vaccine products.

This administration has a long and uninterrupted history of promoting unfounded hate and divisiveness among US Citizens and of targeting its political opponents via lawfare and every other means at its disposal. Wholesale weaponization of the whole of government against opponents, the likes of which have never been seen before in the USA.

This administration has given birth to, promoted, enabled, and exploited a mercenary public-private partnership consisting of a censorship and propaganda industrial complex. This administration worked with other partners, including the Five Eyes Intelligence Alliance, to turn modern hybrid warfare/PsyWar technology designed for offshore combat onto its own citizens. This administration has abused its relationships and power with corporate media and Big Tech to actively deploy and exploit modern propaganda methods in a desperate attempt to remain in power while punishing and, in some cases, unjustly jailing the loyal and patriotic opposition.

And then there are the open border policies, failure to address CCP hostility, and the Fentanyl crisis.

The weaponization of the Intelligence community and corporate media to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story right before the election. Which in itself constitutes election fraud and theft.

And then there are the horrible energy policy decisions, edicts regarding electric vehicles (and long haul trucks), and failure to keep an eye on the ball and follow through with infrastructure rebuilding proposals.

I predict that this administration will go down as one of the worst and most corrupt in the history of the United States of America.

To further illustrate my points, I offer two pivotal moments in history: the “Winter of Severe Illness and Death” psychological bioterrorism speech and the midterm 2022 Independence Hall “MAGA is a threat” speech.

We must never forget what has been done to the USA and American Citizens by this administration.

From the Mar-a-Lago panty raid event to the incitement of violence and assassination attempts. Biden and I agree on one thing- This must stop. Stop the anger, hate, accusations, lies, censorship and propaganda. Stop deploying PsyWar on the American People. This type of behavior cannot be allowed to stand. What we disagree on is which behavior. Once again, the evidence indicates that Biden’s hate speech is driven by his own fear and projection."



I would add to this the fact that Poor Old Biden has suffered from dementia, essentially since he was selected for the office of President. He has not been in control of anything, let alone our country, for over three years. Kamala Harris has been instrumental in concealing and covering up this fact, along with the willing assistance of the Main Stream Media and many of our political "leaders".

My question was and is: "Who's actually running the United States of America?" No one else seems to be focusing on this firghtening question. Harris on her teleprompter tours and Biden at the beach while some person or group is actually giving orders and making decisions; all with the willing cooperation, not only of Biden/Harris but of anyone "in the know" within the inner workings of our "government". Why does this not seem to concern anyone else?

Patrick Henry; "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death"

For some background about this speech, I found a good link at: https://www.history.com/topics/american-revolution/patrick-henry

A Paragraph from that History.com article:  "George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and five of the six other Virginians who would later sign the Declaration of Independence were in attendance that day. Historians say that Henry’s “Liberty or Death” speech helped convince those in attendance to begin preparing Virginia troops for war against Great Britain."

Patrick Henry

"Give me liberty, or give me death!"
St. John's Church, Richmond, Virginia

MARCH 23, 1775


MR. PRESIDENT: No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do, opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely, and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The question before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself guilty of treason towards my country and of an act of disloyalty toward the majesty of heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.

Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.

I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided; and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years, to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves, and the House? Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with these war-like preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled, that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation; the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask, gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us; they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done, to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne. In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free, if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained, we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us!

They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance, by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations; and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!

I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

Matthew 7:11
King James Version

11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?


Doctrine and Covenants 59:7, 21

7 Thou shalt thank the Lord thy God in all things.
21 And in nothing doth man offend God, or against none is his wrath kindled, save those who confess not his hand in all things, and obey not his commandments.

Book of Mormon; Alma 34:38

38 That ye contend no more against the Holy Ghost, but that ye receive it, and take upon you the name of Christ; that ye humble yourselves even to the dust, and worship God, in whatsoever place ye may be in, in spirit and in truth; and that ye live in thanksgiving daily, for the many mercies and blessings which he doth bestow upon you.

Luke 17:11–19
New Testament

11 ¶ And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.

15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

When we say our prayers, we mostly follow a particular format: We address our Father In Heaven and we thank Him for our blessings. It's this first part of our prayers that I wish to address today.

I'm sure you've heard this before. When you look at a person's headstone, the birth and date years are separated by a dash. Their story is in that tiny dash. It usually stands for a long and eventful life story. Well, the word "blessings" is much like that dash. It's a powerful word because it brings into two syllables an incredible multitude of things, many of which we just take for granted.

I can't speak for everyone but I know that I often skip blithely over this word and move on to "more important things". There are just so many things I didn't take in to account, until one day...they were gone. I can look back at how little importance I placed in thanking our Father for the life he had given me, until it was, effectively, revoked and I was back to nothing and nobody. I don't believe I was truly grateful as I never really considered how many really powerful blessings I enjoyed.

As I took care of my Grandmother, my Uncle and then Joann in their last days on the earth, I gained even more insight into the meaning that simple, easily glossed over word contains.

How about the Plan of Salvation? As pitiful, weak human animals, we often don't grasp the significance of the fact that we are eternal beings. That we will move back into the spirit world one day and find that we've messed up so MANY things in our lives! No way would our Father allow such unclean creatures into His presence. When your kids have been playing outside and gotten all muddy, do you just let them run through the house or do they have to clean up first? Our Father knew we'd get dirty, even filthy. He knew how we'd react to complete freedom. Just as we know that our kids will get into trouble if we aren't standing right next to them. What if you told them that they can't live in your house any more because they just won't follow your rules? Our all wise Father in Heaven sent his Son to clean us up and make us whole again so that we CAN live in His house, where we belong. That is the most important and profound blessing of all.

Certainly, just the fact of our existence is an incredible blessing. That our bodies just automatically work...most of the time.  As we draw breath, our heart beats and all the mechanisms function which keep us warm or cool. That our spirits were granted this incredible "blessing" of life itself. How often do we contemplate the wonder of it all?

But there is so much more. That feeling of the sun on our shoulders on a nice warm day...do we thank our Father for that warmth and comfort, or do we complain because it's too hot? The feel and smell of a long, cool rain and the sound of it on the roof. The majesty of the flashing lightning or the crashing thunder. Do we gaze out our window at the beauty of this majestic storm, or do we complain because we're stuck inside for a day? Do we take a moment to think how much comfort we enjoy, inside a nice, warm, dry house during such cold, wet weather? Or, for those of us here in Montana, how often do you really consider the incredible gift of a nice warm house when it's 20 below outside? When you come in to a house that is 100 degrees warmer than the frigid outdoors, do you take a moment to give thanks? Do we thank God for the moisture that our crops need or are we impatient because the field work is paused for a storm?

Can you hug your children or your spouse; or everybody, all together? Let your mind consider the incredible blessing of the love you share with other people. That indescribable feeling of looking at your spouse, your children; all your family. Do you ever really FEEL the thanks, the gratitude for such fabulous gifts from a loving Father? Or do you just take it all for granted. The American Dream realized.

Speaking of which, here we sit, all together, worshipping God as we wish, enjoying each others company and learning the doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ restored to the Earth by a Prophet. Could any of that have happened any where else? We know that God guided the foundation of this country and the drafting of our Constitution, which guarantees our freedom to be here today. Do you ever really consider that? A well conceived plan, put into action, which we just take for granted. We all know there are countries in the world where any consideration of Jesus Christ is punishable, sometimes by death and has to be done in secret, at risk to life and freedom.  We are SO blessed to live in this land, "Choice above all other lands".

Some blessings can be hard to appreciate, especially if they are hardships we endure. I look back on a long and eventful life, filled with joy and sorrow. Sometimes, it seems as if the sorrow overpowers any joy I might have felt. As a policeman, I know I saved lives and it's likely that my actions prevented the suffering of others. But I really couldn't say that I ever did anything particularly special in what I call my "first life". When I actually DID something meaningful, it took me a while to realize it. When I use the word "blessings", I actually also am thanking the Father for the hardships of the last few years. I thank Him for trusting me to care for some of His special spirits here on earth. I thank him for the blessings of completely giving myself to another person.

I continue to count down my blessings, working into the things that we REALLY take for granted. Things we can do or experience that are so simple that we don't think of them.

Do you sleep at night, without pain or sickness? Do you have to keep a bag in every room in case you might be sick? Can you get yourself up and out of bed and walk to the bathroom on your own? When you're hungry, can you prepare and consume your meals without help? It's cute when we spoon feed our babies. But, when someone has to spoonfeed YOU, it might be a little different. Do you go for walks? Can you wash the dishes? Who would have ever thought I'd see washing dishes as a blessing?! Can you clip your own fingernails?

I realize that our prayers would take up most of the day if we were to truly count all our blessings. Just that portion of our prayers would be a day long litany. So, "Thank you for my blessings" is the short sentence. But, in our hearts, we need to really feel the true import of that simple phrase. Let your mind go over all the wonderful things we experience, every day.

I have some special blessings that are always in my heart when I use that simple phrase. When you hear me quickly say: "Thank you for our blessings", know that, in my heart, I'm shouting these things...

I thank my Father in Heaven that I'm still capable of driving myself around and taking care of

my physical needs. Standing on the bluff above the Madison River, a place I used to go in my youth for comfort and peace, I feel a powerful wave of gratitude that I am still able to even get there on my own. You can't call my travels in the mountains "hiking" any more. I'm moving at a painful, arthritic shuffle, taking probably twice as long to get to places I want to be. But I'm still getting there. The wind in the pines is still a beautiful sound, the sun is still warm on my shoulders. The sounds and smells of the forest are still the same as when I was a child.

I know people who had terrible childhoods, with abusive parents or hard times. I thank my Heavenly Father for the wonderful, loving family in which I grew up. We had very little in money or possessions but we were never hungry, we were warm and dry and, most of all, we had love and joy. And we lived in Yellowstone! What a profound blessing that has been!

I'm grateful for my first 30 years. That I was able to make and achieve my life's goals, with the adventure and excitement I craved, the wife and family, home and career. I remember looking at Judy, in the Temple, and thinking how grateful I was for her.

I thank my Father that, when all that collapsed and I found myself back where I'd started in life, I had the ability to rebuild. I didn't let myself sink into despair but, instead, pulled myself back. I didn't manage this on my own. I had the blessings of great friends and family to stand with me and help me along. Old friends and family were important but the MOST important was my new friend. My best friend ever and the Love of My Life, Joann.

I truly believe that Joann and I were together in the pre-existence and finally found each other. I thank Heavenly father every day for that spiritual reunion.

I know that God and His Son, Jesus Christ live, that They love us and want the best for us. I know that They hear and answer our prayers. Many times, I've questioned that. It often seemed as if only my pillow heard my prayers. I despaired of everything and didn't understand why God had "forsaken" me. So, one of my most important "thank you's" is for the day that I was blessed with a powerful answer, as I was allowed to feel the Holy Ghost and hear that I'd understand one day and everything would be ok. That one event gave me the ability to say that I KNOW these things. I no longer have to "believe" or just go on Faith. All I have to do is remember. Sometimes, that answer to a desperate prayer is like a board to which I can cling as the raging waters threaten to suck me under. Sometimes that memory barely keeps my head above water but it's my iron rod. I think, of all the profound blessings of my life, that one answer is the greatest.

So, try to think of the long list of good things that our Father has given you. Have those things in your mind and heart when you start your prayer with "Thank you for my blessings."

I leave this message with you in the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ...Amen.

My Twice-Weekly Drive/My Summer "Job"

On Monday and Friday evenings, there is a Western Cookout at Parade Rest Guest Ranch, near West Yellowstone, MT. This is my 18th season as the entertainer for this cookout. The original idea was for us to have a "cowboy singalong" which, as you might guess, didn't fly at all.



Instead, I have tailored my performance to provide examples of Western, as opposed to Country, music. Marty Robbins, Eddy Arnold and that sort of thing, along with original songs and cowboy poems, written by myself or my friends. It's been a great ride and I haven't missed a single cookout in 18years.  This video is my original song: "Listen to the Wind".

For the last couple of years, because my companion, Joann, was sick and needed to be home each night, I have driven from Townsend, MT to Parade Rest and back for each cookout. It's 140 miles one way and sometimes is kind of a long trip. Now that Joann is gone, I still usually make the round trip because I have things to take care of at home which she used to do in years passed.

On Monday, July 8, I was on my way home in the evening and saw this young fellow in one of the Beaver Creek ponds, by Highway 287. There were some Sandhill Cranes there as well but they wouldn't come out for a picture.

I stayed over last night and came back this morning. It was a grand and glorious morning! As you can see from these pictures, the air was perfectly still at the same pond that had hosted Bullwinkle on Monday evening.

Also part of my drive is the Madison River Valley, from Ennis to Hebgen Lake. The scenery, the wildlife and the overall atmosphere are what makes this drive and event worth doing for 18 years.

"BIG BOY Press Conference

Apparently, I'm the Lone Voice, Crying in the Wilderness about this.

POB had a "Big Boy Press Conference" yesterday and it was an utter disaster. He introduced Ukraines Comedian/President as "Putin" and Happy Kamala Harris as Vice President...wait for it...Trump. Other things he said and did were cringeworthy but those two were noteworthy.




Anyway, once again, the overwhelming shouts, even from the Dems, are that this Demented and failing old man can't beat President Trump in the election. Well, no shit. But, WHO CARES?!

What really matters and no one seems to want to say it, is that our country is currently without a functioning Commander In Chief. Am I the only one, outside our adversaries, who cares about that?!

Our close ally, Israel, is at war, essentially with our arch rival, Iran. We are funding a proxy war against Russia. China is ready to take over Taiwan while Russia and China are colluding to take over world finances. and who knows what North Korea is ready to do? Kim Jong Un probably doesn't know either.  Hundreds, maybe thousands, of  military aged Chinese and Muslim men have been pouring over our border for over a year.  And here we are, with no one to take charge.

While all the Dems and Their puppet media can talk about is how to beat President Trump in the election.

You think Russia, China, N. Korea and Iran don't get the fact that, right now, we are totally without leadership? In 4 months, we'll likely re-elect a real President (THE Real President!) and their window of opportunity will slam shut.

The next four months may be very interesting, and not in a good way.

All that matters is "Who Can Beat Trump!"

For a couple of years now, we have all known that Poor Old Biden (POB) is totally unfit for ANY office. his dementia has been on full display. but we have been told to ignore our lying eyes and just trust the Media, the White House Spokesperson and everyone else on Team Biden. "He's fine!"

When POBs complete lack of mental and physical ability was on full display for the world, Democrats suddenly said: "Wow! He's really bad! He can't beat Trump so he needs to step down." The media was SHOCKED! Shocked, I tell you! They had No Idea that POB was that bad. Suddenly, the MSM is all talking about how his condition seems so bad that he should step down so someone who can beat Trump can take over. Apparently, the MSM hasn't been seeing the same videos of POB falling down, stumbling over his words, lost on stage, crapping himself in a meeting and all the other stuff he's been doing, right in front of us, that They just ignored, until it was on full display for the whole world. Even They had to start admitting that...maybe...there's something wrong.

Let me be clear. In my opinion, Biden and the Biden Crime Family have been reprehensible, corrupt criminals throughout his eternity in public office. But, his condition now, in the Presidents office, is NOT his fault. He's old and wearing out. So am I. So are many people around the world. The one at fault here is Jill Biden who allows her husband to be exploited in this manner. It looks like criminal elder abuse to me. However, this isn't my point.

My point is that the Democrats have been perfectly content with POB being unfit for the job into which They installed him. They knew his situation from the beginning and had Their own team of people ready to make the decisions, policies and orders that have nearly destroyed our country; probably on purpose. POB has not made any of these decisions. He isn't and hasn't been running the country. But the Democrats, including Their puppet media and Their Intel and "Justice" offices, have no interest in what's best for America. Never mind that Putin and Xi Jinping are rubbing their hands in glee at the current opportunities available to them while our country is without effective leadership. Never mind the deplorable (word used on purpose) state of our economy, our military, our energy and our border. The ONLY reason They have turned against POB (who is Their construct, after all) is because They are afraid that POB can't beat Trump in the upcoming election. Allowing our country to fall is acceptable as long as a Democrat is in the White House.

If someone is voting for POB again because of Trump Derangement Syndrome or just because POB has a D by his name, then shame on them. Voting for POB is voting for a shadow government with a completely incompetent (and likely incontinent) figurehead napping in a back room. If They replace POB with someone else, not because they can do a better job of running the country but simply because this new person might be able to keep President Trump out of office, then a vote for that new candidate is simply a vote, again, for the shadow government. A nameless, faceless group who installed POB in the White House in the first place (much like a new toilet) and has been deliberately running our country into the ground, under the name of POB, since. That deliberate destruction will continue if They get a new puppet in, even one who can find his way off a stage.

We are a laughing stock throughout the world and our adversaries are probably on Zoom meetings right now, setting a date. I still say that it is likely that we suffer at least one major attack in the very short time we have between now and the election. Those who wish harm to the United States know that NOW is the time for them to strike, while we are leaderless and impotent.

Black Sand Creek

Saturday, June 29, I had a great day. I hiked in to one of my favorite fishing spots (I was just hiking; no fishing this time) on Black Sand Creek, near West Yellowstone. It's about a 3/4 mile walk from Black Sand spring along an old access road that only we old farts know about.

The road's been closed by the Forest Service for many years but it was still an actual, drive-able road 50 years ago (50 years?!) when I was riding my bicycle out there to go fishing. It was a spooky ride back then and it's worse today.  Now the the "road" is just a faint pair of ruts through heavy timber. I have to admit that I wimped out and had my phone playing music while I walked. I might have seen elk, deer or moose if I had been quietly walking but I might as easily have come across a Griz so I let my phone clear the way. Funny, though, as I did spook a deer from the brush just in front of me at one point. If a DEER didn't hear me coming, the music wasn't chasing away any bears. Might as well have walked quietly.

Anyway, this picture is of an undercut bank on the creek. Very seldom, over the years, have I

drifted a fly along this bank and NOT caught a fish. Sometimes a pretty good sized one. There's about 1/4 mile of creek from here down to the intersection with the South Fork of the Madison and it's all pretty good for flyfishing.

Upstream of here, Black Sand creek is wider and shallower and the fishing has never been quite as good, except for those years (50 years ago?!) when there was a pretty good beaver dam just upstream from this spot with lots of big brown trout in it. Apparently, either the Forest Service or Fish and Game didn't like it so they blew the dam out a long time ago so where the beaver pond was is just a big, shallow flat now.

I have every intention of going back in here with my fly rod this summer. I'll hope for good pictures for y'all then, too.

Just a trail today

Do We Only Have Four Months Left?

My research for this article was very enlightening. I have to say that my original inspiration for this was different from the final results. Let's begin.

In 2016, during her campaign, Hillary Clinton claimed that Donald Trump would be a very dangerous President and that he just lacked the maturity and restraint necessary for the job. She very emphatically claimed that a Donald Trump Presidency could likely result in World War III (WWIII) and the Main Stream Media heartily agreed with her.
https://www.businessinsider.com/hillary-clinton-trump-nuclear-weapons-2017-10
https://www.jeffsachs.org/newspaper-articles/fwgb4sbbssmgmyptsj6n6p3tmkwlst

President Trump's rhetoric about Kim Jong Un and North Korea had the Main Stream Media (MSM) throwing fits and nearly crying on the TV about Trump pushing North Korea to attack us. Trump, who had threatened “fire and fury” and called Kim “Little Rocket Man,” was practically forcing NK to show us how tough they were. Trump was getting us into WWIII.

And, of course, the incessant MSM shouts of "Russia! Russia ! Russia!" in an atempt to make us all believe that Trump was in league with Vladimir Putin and we'd be subjects of Russia any day!

Then, suddenly, Trump and Kim Jong Un were meeting and Trump actually strolled with Un on the NK side of the DMZ. As President Trump, the Dealer in Chief, made a "deal" with Kim Jong Un, effectively putting a stop to all the NK saber rattling. How many missile tests, fired over Japan, since Trump and Un took their little walk? Hmmm? Once again, Trump was right. Here's the headline from a PBS article which tells the whole story: "Trump says tough rhetoric led to North Korea summit"
https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/new-atlanticist/with-one-small-step-trump-makes-history-in-north-korea/
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/trump-says-tough-rhetoric-led-to-north-korea-summit

Trump didn't make idle threats. If he drew a "red line" then other countries believed there would be repercussions for crossing it. ISIS was all but eliminated. The Taliban was reduced in power. Trump was bringing troops home and conflicts were winding down.

Trumps sanctions of nearly every aspect of Iran's economy caused them to be in serious financial straights and not inclined to waste money on terrorism around the world.
https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/iransource/analyzing-terrorism-sanctions-on-iran-and-the-path-forward/

Trump brokered a historical Middle East Peace agreement between Israel, the UAE and Bahrain, called the "Abraham Accords", which brightened the hope that more Arab countries might join in. A significant beginning for actual Peace in the Middle East.
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/15/trump-abraham-accords-palestinians-peace-deal-415083

Now, where are we? Well, most if not all of the successful peace efforts of the Trump Presidency have been nearly eliminated and we are seriously at the brink of WWIII. All the dire predictions about the Trump Presidency have become true or are nearly true except for one thing. It's all been during the Team Biden Presidency. All those things They said Trump would cause? Well, Team Biden has managed to either actually or nearly acheive!

As an aside, I don't blame Poor Old Biden. I personally don't believe he is in any way in control of what's going on. I don't believe he has the mental capacity to do any of the things that have been done. I blame what I call "Team Biden". A bunch of nameless, faceless, unaccountable background people who are actually making decisions and setting policy, with no concern for the welfare of the United States. Likely, quite the contrary.

Russia is in a war with Ukraine and everyone knows it's a proxy war between NATO and Russia; which means US and Russia. Recently, Team Biden authorized Ukraine to fire U.S. made missiles into Russian territory. Everyone knows that these higly technical missiles are NOT controlled by Ukrainian fighters, actually in Ukraine. The intelligence is technical, electronic, satelite technology and is guided by U.S. personnel, likely not even in Ukraine and probably not even in Europe. These missiles could be controlled by technicians in downtown Las Vegas as easily as in the Pentigon or London. Who knows?

Russia is VERY aware of this and has told us so now in no uncertain terms, since a Ukrainian missile attack, using U.S. made guided missiles, in Sevastopol caused the deaths and injuries of multiple civilians and we are blamed. The U.S. Ambassador to Russia was called in to the Russian Foreign Ministry where they accused the US of waging a “proxy war” and said retaliatory measures would “definitely follow”. No one has a precise definition of "retaliatory measures" but it doesn't sound good!

Other quotes from the Aljazeera article: “Such actions by Washington … will not be left without response,” Russia’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Monday as it summoned the ambassador. “There will definitely be response measures. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the attack “absolutely barbaric” and said in a news conference that Moscow would react to the US involvement."

https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/russia-summons-american-ambassador-deadly-attack-moscow-us-111363288

The week of June 10, 2024, Russian warships, including a nuclear submarine and a frigate, equipped with hypersonic missiles (for which we have no viable defense) were involved in an "exercise" in International waters, just off the Florida coast. Think that might be a wake up call? and that was BEFORE the Sevastopol missile strike! https://www.military.com/daily-news/2024/06/12/navy-deployed-3-destroyers-planes-monitor-russian-submarine-and-frigate-off-florida-coast.html

Russia, China and several other countries are actively advocating for a different international currency under an organization called BRICS, which could destabilize the Dollar, possibly even put the U.S. in financial default. https://carnegieendowment.org/research/2023/12/the-difficult-realities-of-the-brics-dedollarization-effortsand-the-renminbis-role?lang=en

Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un recently took a little walk in North Korea and signed a mutual defense agreement. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/kim-jong-un-putin-north-korea-russia-mutual-defense-pact-rcna157903

Israel and the Palestinians are now locked in destructive conflict in the Gaza strip after a cowardly and evil Hamas terrorist attack into Israel.which is most likely financed by an emboldened Iran. Guess that Peace Agreement that Trump managed to put together kind of got kicked to the curb with the current "administration".

So, let's recap. During the Presidency of Donald Trump, Iran had to forgo much of it's financing of international terror in order to keep the lights on at home. Peace agreements were arranged with North Korea and some countries in the middle East. Not only no NEW wars started during those four years but the ones we WERE fighting were winding down and President Trump was bringing troops home. President Trump had arranged peaceful relations with North Korea.

Now, after three years of Team Biden, Russia is rattling sabers nearly within sight of our shores, is actively fighting real war in Ukraine, while we fund and even assist their opponent, causing Russia to blame us for what amounts to a terror attack on Russian civilians. This causes Russia; one of the worlds Superpowers, to say: "retaliatory measures would “definitely follow”. Russia is now actively aligned with China and North Korea. Israel is at war with Hamas, on the Israel doorstep, and we actively fund that war as well.

Hundreds of military aged Chinese and Islamic men are illegally crossing our border every day.

https://www.nbcnews.com/investigations/dhs-identifies-400-migrants-brought-us-isis-linked-human-smuggling-rcna158777

I've cited all these facts to say this. It's likely that, barring another stolen election (call it what it was...a coup!), it's most likely that President Trump will be re-elected (again) and this time actually take office...again. The bad actors of our world, who would like to destroy and take over this "Choice land, above all other lands" are well aware of the fact that if we have a REAL President, all Their plans will at least be delayed if not completely thwarted. In other words, They CAN'T let President Trump be re-elected. Can Not. I dearly hope that President Trump has his own Security in place and isn't relying on the same Secret Service that was guarding President Kennedy.

Any of these countries which might have plans to attack us know that if President Trump keeps his promises, which he did last time, then They will lose Their opportunity. So, if it looks like President Trump will actually be re-elected, I think we should be prepared for an attack before he can take office, while Team Biden is still in "control" and our country is weak and essentially leaderless.

In my opinion, it's entirely possible that WWIII will be initiated for real within the next four months.
