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 September 30, 202213 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:

September 30, 2022: Pelosi spokesman just proved what a terrible job Democrats have done.

September 29, 2022: Hold Democrats accountable for Pelosi’s newest moral outrage.

September 23, 2022: Pelosi’s commitment to America: Democrats will hurt you, your family, and our country and never stop.

September 18, 2022: Democrats even lie to their own voters, so why would anyone trust them to govern?

September 17, 2022: Virtue signalling Democrats should tell the truth about neo-slavery.

September 8, 2022: Democrats resort to threatening your grandmother with another election hoax.

7 Great Things About America Biden is Destroying Now

Last update September 29, 2022109 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 exactly that.

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

September 29, 2022: Biden warns about autocracy and doesn't see that he's the one who threatens us.

September 26, 2022: Biden promotes empathy and kindness. Are Republicans included?

September 22, 2022: This is Not Our America Part IV: North Dakota killing is Biden’s Charlottesville.

September 21, 2022: A great nation needs a great president who will disclose whether he is influenced by dark money from foreign governments.

September 20, 2022: Biden will protect the sacred right to vote, but not the way you think.

September 16, 2022: Biden’s hate-based Unity Agenda seeks to destroy America’s soul for the sake of a few votes.

September 13, 2022: America helps our neighbors. Biden deserves more credit than he gets for his commitment to economic growth in Mexico.

Here are the newest updates:

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:

September 27, 2022: freedom from hunger starts with freedom from the Biden economy.

September 24, 2022: Freedom is what Democrats allow you to do.

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?
