Hopefully, we'll have our normal CC system up and running again soon. Thank you very much for your loyal support!

It sure looks like the battle lines are forming. I hope it will be a bleak future for the swamp creatures.

VDH ping. From X this time.

We can quickly measure whether we will return to normalcy by requesting that a bill be passed by both houses before Feb 1, 2025 that funds border walls on all borders of the US and demands completion of that wall before 2026.

“Pete Hegseth joined the Army to fight extremists. Then that same Army called him one. The military Pete joined twenty years ago was fiercely focused on lethality, competency, and color blindness. Today our brass are following the rest of our country off the cliff of cultural chaos and weakness.

“Americans with common sense are fighting this on many fronts, but if we can’t save the meritocracy of our military, we’re definitely going to lose everywhere else.

“The War on Warriors uncovers the deep roots of our dysfunction—a society that has forgotten the men who take risks, cut through red tape, and get their hands dirty. The only kind of men prepared to face the dan­gers that the Left pretends don’t exist. Unlike issues of education or taxes or crime, this problem doesn’t have a zip code solution. We can’t move away from it. We can’t avoid it. We have only one Pentagon. Either we take it back or surrender it altogether.”

You're right...We are in a two year timeslot right now.

The Dems are stuck...they can't move from their "losing" agenda for 2026.

“President Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has written a revolutionary road map to saving our children from leftist indoctrination.

“Behind a smokescreen of “preparing students for the new industrial economy,” early progressives had political control in mind. America’s original schools didn’t just make kids memorize facts or learn skills; they taught them to think freely and arrive at wisdom. They assigned the classics, inspired love of God and country, and raised future citizens that changed the world forever.

“Today, after 16,000 hours of K-12 indoctrination, our kids come out of government schools hating America. They roll their eyes at religion and disdain our history. We spend more money on education than ever, but kids can barely read and write—let alone reason with discernment. Western culture is on the ropes. Kids are bored and aimless, flailing for purpose in a system that says racial and gender identity is everything.

“Battle for the American Mind is the untold story of the Progressive plan to neutralize the basis of our Republic – by removing the one ingredient that had sustained Western Civilization for thousands of years. Pete Hegseth and David Goodwin explain why, no matter what political skirmishes conservatives win, progressives are winning the war—and control the “supply lines” of future citizens. Reversing this reality will require parents to radically reorient their children’s education; even most homeschooling and Christian schooling are infused with progressive assumptions. We need to recover a lost philosophy of education – grounded in virtue and excellence – that can arm future generations to fight for freedom. It’s called classical Christian education. Never heard of it? You’re not alone.

“Battle for the American Mind is more than a book; it’s a field guide for remaking school in the United States. We’ve ceded our kids’ minds to the left for far too long—this book gives patriotic parents the ammunition to join an insurgency that gives America a fighting chance.”

It is interesting that the military was destroyed by race baiters (like Charles Q Brown and Lloyd Austin) and sell-outs (like Milley). Of course, they owe their power to people like Obama, who planned to "fundamentally transform" the country in ways that the majority of Americans wouldn't stand for.

The Left's biggest problem is that it ignores reality and refuses to listen to anyone who tries to warn them.

The left tries to destroy anyone who tries to warn them.

“Everyone who doesn’t already work for ICE or Border Patrol should read this book. If more people armed themselves with the kind of information Tom Homan presents, this country might actually see some immigration policy reform.

“Defend the Border and Save Lives” gives readers a glimpse at what a conversation with Mr. Homan is like. He writes the way he speaks: he is direct, incredibly knowledgeable, and deeply committed to the law enforcement mission. He shares personal experiences from various periods in his 34-year career that tell the story of his fight to protect both the citizens of this country as well as those who are not citizens, but who suffer in their desperate attempts to enter the United States illegally. The book describes what really happens along the Southwest Border from the point of view only someone who has spent many years in the midst of the crisis could possess.

“In addition, Mr. Homan poses important questions that politicians continue to dodge. He identifies the flaws in the arguments supporting sanctuary cities and opposing the border wall and explains in real terms the solutions that would solve the security and humanitarian issues at the heart of immigration controversy. And, notably, he calls out the hypocrisy of the politicians in Washington, DC and their continuing failure to enact change in our dysfunctional immigration system.”

“Tulsi Gabbard was the rising star of the Democratic Party. But the growing wokeness, racism, and intolerance were more than she could stomach, and she left. This is her story.

“Today’s Democratic Party is controlled by an elitist cabal of warmongers driven crazy by woke ideology and anti-white animus. They are a clear and present threat to the God-given freedoms enshrined in the Constitution.

“A soldier, former member of Congress, and a presidential candidate, Tulsi loves her country: “I answered the call of duty and took an oath, dedicating my life to supporting and defending those freedoms, both in uniform and in public office. I became a Democrat when I ran for office because I saw them as a party that stood up for the little guy and against the interests of big business and warmongers. I remained a Democrat for twenty years, albeit with an independent streak.”

“Today that party is unrecognizable: antagonistic to people of faith, hostile to the police and law and order, suspicious of law-abiding Americans, unserious about border security, and uncritical of a national security apparatus that targets political opponents and that is dragging us ever closer to apocalyptic nuclear war.

“Now an Independent, Tulsi calls on those who love America to protect our rights from those who are seeking to undermine them at every turn. It’s time to say good-bye to the Democratic Party.”

Very true. And that's just insane.

Killing ALL messengers is a self-destructive policy...as the Democrats would notice if they weren't still killing all messengers.
