A woman, waiting patiently to hear the results of what kind of government our founders hammered out in the “Federalist Debates” asked Benjamin Franklin: “What kind of government have you given us.” Franklin’s response: “A Republic madam….if you can hold on to it.”
It’s been a year since we’ve gotten used to the “new normal.” The world has responded as if no one is responsible for COVID-19’s release. Our president has been one of the few who understands and has been outspoken about what has happened. So when asked by a mocking “journalist” why he referred to COVID-19 as the Chinese Virus, his response was: “Because it came from China.” Leftist media frowns on such outbursts…which is why the “journalist” asked her question in a rude way. Media has been compromised. China has become a sponsor.
Initially, we locked down the country to “flatten the curve.” Most people gave the “science” the benefit of the doubt at first. Then lock downs and lock outs of owners and workers from businesses became the norm. It is still happening. Government continues to destroy select groups of people with little to no resistance from our people…the Constitution be damned. This is now the status quo….regardless the damage to our people and economy. Big Tech has benefited hugely from the lack of freedom the government has imposed on us. Government has chosen winners and losers in terms of who is an essential worker or business, and who is not.
Who made them king? you might ask. Answer: “They did.” Our civil liberties have been suspended. Don’t ask questions! “Sit down and shut up.” Unfortunately, we comply.
We are being allowed to do certain things while being denied others. We can go to Walmart, grocery stores, strip clubs abortion clinics et.al., but not to churches and polling places. Then mail in balloting became essential….especially in the “swing states.” Voting procedures were either ignored or changed in these states. There was plenty of time for early balloting, yet a three day extension, after election day, was carved out in Pennsylvania and other battleground states.
Because of the chaos and fraud that ensued on election day….to include a shut down of voting over night, along with a thousand signed affidavit’s by people who observed fraud, the election was challenged. Twenty one states and Attorney’s General filed a class action suit with the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) only to be told they had no standing. Never mind the evidence or the outrage of the country…SCOTUS refused to consider the Merits of the case.
The president used his constitutional rights in his challenge for the fraud November 3rd. Nothing he has done has been outside the bounds of our Constitution or any of our laws in this country.
In fact several other elections have been challenged in similar ways. None of Trump’s challenges have been allowed to go to court. During the time the president was giving his speech to his outraged supporters January 6 …a group of thugs along with at least one Antifa affiliate dressed as a Trump supporter yelling for people to follow him stormed past a down scaled police force in front of the Capitol. Why was security lacking when over 100,000 people attended the event you may ask?
Media now says the president is an insurrectionist but will not air the speech in which the only direction he gave his crowd was to go in peace and support the Senators fighting for him. On the accusation…not proof by the Left that the president is a subversive, he has been censored from all Social Media. A large portion of his supporters belonging to the Parler social media sight have also been silenced when Parler was shut down by FB, Twitter, and Apple.
Trump supporters who attended the rally for the president, but did not go to the Capitol are under investigation, losing their jobs, silenced and on no fly lists. Republican Senators are being threatened with being placed on No fly lists as well. Businesses and banks are working with the Left in freezing accounts of Senators and people who work for the president. Those businesses who continue working with Republicans are threatened. Universities are threatening yet other Republican leaders with nullifying their diplomas. Senator Cruz has been threatened with removal from office.
This is not America.
