Woke Means Wipe Out Kindness Everywhere it Exists

Last update August 7, 2022Leave a Comment

Promoting meaningful social change is not the same thing as creating injustice to inflict a competing orthodoxy. Joe Biden likes to point out that we haven’t always lived up to our values. He’s not wrong, but there is a vast difference between not fulfilling our highest aspirations and politicizing America's alleged failures for political leverage. That's the problem with going woke in America.

Liars Govern America. Why Won’t Democrats Tell the Truth?

Last update August 8, 20226 Comments

For Washington's Democrat Party leadership lies are politics as usual. We can’t believe anything we hear. Liars govern America.

The lies, misrepresentations, disinformation, and propaganda from Democrats keep coming fast and loose. Here are the most recent updates showcasing the appalling lack of honesty from the liars trusted to govern our great country:

August 8, 2022: Honesty from Harris about how her party's new bill will reduce inflation?

August 3, 2022: Are they bald-faced liars, or is this what Democrats really believe about what they've done to us?

July 28, 2022: Recession lies, gaslighting, and a Democrat Party Inflation Reduction Act that's not really about inflation.

July 23, 2022: When Democrats tell us that violence is not part of their political agenda they are lying.

July 14, 2022: Lies from me but not from thee? If you're going to lie to the American people it's OK as long as you are a Democrat.

7 Great Things About America Biden is Destroying Now

Last update August 13, 2022103 Comments

President Biden has already racked up an impressive list of accomplishments. He proved he can destroy some of the great things about America without any help from Congress. All it takes is a pen and someone to tell him where to sign.

The executive orders Biden signed on Day One were just the beginning of a series of bad moves, misjudgments, blunders, lies, and flagrantly anti-American policy decisions.

Biden won’t look back at the damage he's done. He's too busy making plans to destroy our future. Working closely with Democrats in Congress he has more than enough power to do exacty that.

Here are the newest updates to the great things about America Biden is destroying while you read this:

August 13, 2022: Biden administration weaponized America’s rule of law, but the left need not worry.

August 9, 2022: Biden administration works overtime to destroy the many great things about our country, but fear not. What happened yesterday will make America great again.

August 5, 2022: Biden celebrates vicious attack on America's economy.

July 31, 2022: Biden fails America, destroys our remaining credibility on the world stage, and hands the reigns to Xi.

July 28, 2022: Biden destroys all confidence in Democrats new inflation-killing spending spree with four words.

Author's note: this work in progress began while Barack Obama was still in office. Now Trump is out and Joe Biden sits on his Oval Office throne and signs orders while his party takes away our freedoms one by one.

This post is constantly updated as our freedoms and liberties are stripped away by Democrats and authoritarian big government. Here is the newest content:

August 9, 2022 Democrats turned our free country into a police state where fear of the government is the prudent choice.

July 29, 2022: Democrats stake their future on the freedom to kill and they aren't taking it away.

Democrats Celebrate Pride for Their LGBTQI+ Victims

Last update June 14, 2022Leave a Comment

Pride Month is back. It’s time for woke corporations, identity politics-obsessed Democrats, terminally disgruntled activists, and even our local libraries to cram LGBTQI+ pride down our throats. You can’t escape it even if you aren’t part of that constantly evolving acronym that will eventually run out of letters to promote all the permutations of sexual and gender non-conformity that can be dreamed up by those with nothing better to do.

Is Omar’s H.R. 5665 Islamophobia Bill About Boebert or Israel?

Last update December 30, 2021Leave a Comment

I won't try to justify the remark Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) made about Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN). Joking or not she crossed the line, but neither can I justify Democrats using her comment to score points with a new, politically-motivated Islamophobia crisis and legislation to give another racism crisis the appearance of legitimacy.

December 30, 2021: Does H.R. 5665 open the door to a UN investigation of America?

December 20, 2021: Democrats' ethical dilemma pits Islamophobia against protecting the rights of women and girls.

December 16, 2021: Why did Democrats reject H.R. 5665 amendment to protect Israel?
