Today’s Patriot

What a joke Patriotism has become in this country. People have died protecting our freedoms we just make a joke out of it by associating freedom to not wear a mask. This is a joke. I am not free if I have to wear a mask that will protect yourself and your neighbor? Really? That is an infringement on your freedom?  So all those soldiers fought and died overseas so you don’t have to wear a mask? More people are dying each day from the virus than were killed on 9/11. In less than one week more people die of the virus than were killed in Afghanistan and Iraq combined. I would think that Patriots would be fighting this virus instead of fighting people who just want to save lives.

Now a real Patriot should be appalled by what is happening with today’s politics. Our revolution was fought so we could have a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. We were being taxed by the British Government and what we wanted was representation in that Government. “No Taxation Without Representation”. We were denied representation and we rebelled. We won our Independence and formed a government based on representation. The People elected their representatives. People’s right to choose who represents us is the foundation of our Government. When you have gerrymandering like they do in Wisconsin that creates a lack of representation in our Government, why are not the true Patriots protesting that? Representative government is what we fought our revolution for. Minority rule was not what those Patriots fought all those years ago. If you have to engage in voter suppression you do not deserve to win and do a disservice to all those that have died protecting our most precious right.

Because of voter suppression we are no longer the freest country in the world. In fact with everything going on we are probably not in the top ten. We have a Department of Justice that found no evidence of voter fraud. The head of our Cyber Security stated that this was our most secure election. But we have a President and a lot of Republicans saying that this election was stolen. We have White Supremists whose leader is a foreigner running around with guns protesting a fair election. What we really have is a group of people that want a Fascist government. That is what a one party system is, Fascism.

There are a number of things that could save this country. One is for the Church to call for an end to all forms of discrimination and that includes the discrimination against women. If you haven’t noticed, a lot of our so called Christians are in favor of a fascist state. This is not the first time the church has turned a blind eye to fascism. Not all Christians are fascists but fascism has always relied on religion. The State Supreme Courts and our Supreme Court needs to stop playing politics with our right to vote and start protecting it. When the rich have a larger voice than the poor then we need the Supreme Court to step in and make sure every voice is heard equally. Gerrymandering has to go. We also need to get money out of politics so that our politicians actually represent the people. Lobbying is just a form of bribery. We need that out of the election process and the politicians that are accepting bribes should be kicked out.

We really do need real Patriots to stand up and protect this country.

  Dove or hawk? Donald Trump ran for President promising to end “endless wars”, avoid new ones, and put American families first. He cast himself as an outsider who would bring peace – the only candidate who wouldn’t drag America into another conflict. The message worked because let's face it, after so many years in Iraq and Afghanistan, America was tired of war. As a country, we were all tired of War. The country wanted stability, not another generation of men and women sent into danger. But once in office, he governed very differently. He governed like a Hawk, quick to threaten, quick to escalate, and willing to use both bombs and tariffs as weapons. What was missing wasn’t just consistency. It was an honor: the sense of responsibility and restraint that should come with the power to risk other people's sons and daughters. This isn’t about ideology. It's about whether someone who promised peace, but repeatedly chooses confrontation, can still claim to be a “dove”. A core...

  The hidden tax. Tariffs cause a hidden tax that never really goes away. I hope that Americans are tired of being told fairy tales about why everything costs more. Our elected officials point fingers. Corporations blame supply chains. Commentators blame inflation. The truth is much simpler and infuriating: tariffs are a tax on ordinary people, and the pain does not stop when the policy ends. It sticks. It lingers. It rarely delivers what we were promised. This is the mess we are in now because of the tariffs imposed by the current administration. Tariffs are sold as strength, as toughness – a way to punish governments and to bring back manufacturing jobs. That pitch works on conservatives who want control, moderates who want fairness, progressives who want domestic industry, and politicians trying to get elected. It is a message built to unite. The policy itself does the opposite. It drains the wallets of the very people that it claims to protect. Here is how it actually works. ...

  When I was young, I was told that “Sex, Drugs, and Rock n Roll” was going to ruin the country. What I am seeing today is that “Sex, Politicians, and Espionage” is actually what is ruining the country and our democracy. Just think about it. When sex, secrecy, and political power get mixed together, every intelligence service in the world pays attention. The Epstein files aren’t just about a criminal and the rich people that he surrounded himself with. They show how sexual exploitation creates the kind of vulnerabilities foreign governments like Russia dream of. The most uncomfortable part of that truth is that other countries, such as Great Britain, are taking that threat more seriously than we are. Jeffrey Epstein didn’t just commit crimes. He built a system. He targeted vulnerable girls, groomed them, controlled them, and used them to gain access to powerful men. That abuse wasn’t just immoral; it gave him power and leverage. Victims were scared, ashamed, and often silenced. P...
