More of the Way We Are Now

The popular label has it wrong. Washington is not a Swamp. It is a Sewer.

Why do we have President’s Day? This is a sophomoric idea, though in keeping with America today. Holidays used to be for outstanding people, great contributors to the commonwealth. But “President” is just a category. Should we honour every mediocrity or bad man who our corrupt political parties got into the White House?

The same kind of thinking I recently saw in Three Historic American Documents for sale: The Declaration, the Constitution, and the Emancipation Proclamation. The first two are foundational documents for the United States, agreed to by the people. The Emancipation Proclamation was merely an executive order, perhaps opposed by a majority and concerned only with a minority group. As an executive order it was expedient, dubious, and likely illegal. It does not belong with the foundational documents ratified by the people except in an all-too-common childish way of viewing our history.

Isn’t it strange that people with no accomplishment or merit are empowered to destroy historic monuments to better people than they will ever be? This is not a good sign of the condition of a civilisation.

Destroying memorials and plaques is an intrinsically barbaric act.

The leaders of Russia, China, and Iran are much wiser than the present American leaders. They also love their countries and are loved by their people more than current American national rulers.

Satan is active in our society today. He is never more successful than when people think he doesn’t exist.

Tucker Carlson recently interviewed Tulsi Gabbard, former Representative from Hawaii. She had many interesting things to say about her time in the House of Representatives. About how many Congressman are mainly interested in getting rich and are cowardly subservient to party bosses on the issues.

She is the only person in national politics in quite awhile who has real military experience - two tours in the Middle East. When she questioned the intention of the Syrian operation, she was called a “traitor” by both Hillary Clinton and Mitt Romney - accusations which they of course could not back up and provided no answers to the questions she had asked. What is most interesting is that Presidential nominees of both the Democratic and Republican parties were in the same club in trying to defame opposition to official Deep State policy. There is no meaningful distinction between them on anything of importance.

​Gabbard is an interesting person, very intelligent and presentable, and indicating quiet integrity. Trump will miss a beat not to name her his Vice President instead of some “respectable,” empty-suit Republican hack like Pence. Yes, I know she is one-fourth American Samoan and practices a Hindu faith. But haven’t we had enough phony Christians in high office?
