My Substack stats tell me this piece from one year ago is the most popular article I have ever published. It was one of those that flowed from my emotions that day. I am usually very fact oriented, and not a ranter. As I re-read the piece recently, I could feel the darkness and anxiety, the evil. It took me back to that day when America officially become a banana republic that imprisons the political opposition. Did anyone think it could happen here before that day? Does anyone believe that it won’t happen again, or that it won’t happen to President Trump the minute his term ends?
It has been a year, and no one has been held accountable for the spying, the hoaxes, the lawfare, the censorship, the medical abuse, the domestic color revolution. Some culprits have been fired, and some have lost clearances, but none have lost their freedom. The assassination attempts started after I wrote this last May. Those are ongoing.
Like you, I want to see perp walks. Then I remember, President Trump has been in office for only 4 months, and his team for even less time. We need to be patient, but it is hard.
On Nov. 5th, 2024, no one slept. Would we have another stolen election? Would we have civil war? No doubt free speech would be ended if the tyrannical puppet Harris had won, and the political prisoners would be piling up. The dollar would be in free fall and there might be a nuclear war in Europe. Another pandemic would be on deck.
But, on Nov. 6, 2024, we smiled as though the sun were rising for the first time. The relief all over the world was palpable. Even before Trump was inaugurated the talk was of peace and the economy was stablizing.
Nothing that is being revealed now about the tyrannical puppet Joe Biden is new to us. We know he was senile. We know we were censored. We know we were labeled enemies of the state, and some were imprisoned, just for speaking out. We know we have been injured. We know that crime was allowed to flourish. We were there. The press pretends it’s news; pretends they weren’t complicit. We aren’t fooled.
A LOT of people have to answer for what they did from 2014 onward. The politicians, the press, the lawyers, the “diplomats,” the NGO’s, the churches who made out like bandits “resettling” criminal aliens, and especially the “intelligence community.” They stole our entitlements, and made us pay for both sides of every war they started. They stole elections. They manufactured a death shot to shut us up and/or destroy our fertility. They trafficked humans and drugs, killing hundreds of thousands. They aren’t even pretending to hide the fact they want us dead so they can replace us. Their crimes against humanity are too numerous to list.
No matter how much restitution or accountability is coming, it won’t be enough for a populace that barely escaped enslavement, and is still suffering the consequences of a bioweapon.
But for now, we see righteous people taking the levers of power for probably the first time since, well, maybe our lifetime. We see them making efforts, against all odds, to right the ship. God Bless and protect them. They have decades of rot to repair while dealing with a military-style invasion, ongoing criminality, and a corrupt judiciary. We need to be patient, but it is hard.
As you read my words from the past, you will realize how our lives, our freedoms, have improved greatly after only 4 months. It is hard to believe I wrote this a year ago, it seems like a lifetime has passed. In some ways nothing has changed, and in other ways everything has changed. Because, now, we have the one thing that could not be found on that miserable day last May: Hope.
May 30, 2024
I will be one of 33 Nebraska Delegates on the floor nominating President Trump on July 18. It will be his third time but my first. I could not be more thrilled and honored to represent my state and support my President.
The plane tickets are bought and the insanely expensive hotel room is reserved. The shopping is ongoing.
Yesterday my world changed. If you are paying attention, yours did too. If you aren’t paying attention, this is your wake-up call.
Our President faces prison for the rest of his life because he had the audicity to run for office against the uniparty and win. He had the unmitigated gall to end wars and roll back taxes and regulations that were choking the economy. He had the nerve to try to reform the justice system that was imprisoning people who were addicts and poor. He had the temerity to control immigration, deport murderers, and raise wages for American workers by relieving the downward pressure caused by illegal unskilled labor. In spite of the odds, and ridiculously bad advice from experts, he had the heart to try to protect the American people from a castastrophe unleashed by “The Science.”
President Trump said in his press conference today that he “is honored to” go to prison if that is what it takes to preserve the Constitution.
Those words struck home because it became clear to me that the people from Nebraska who represent me in Washington D.C. have NO such urge to sacrifice themselves for the Republic. Yesterday they witnessed a monumental perversion of justice, and they tip-toed around it like a pile of manure that threatens the shine on their best Sunday boots.
“No one is above the law” is the new media catch-phrase that will age about as well as “15 days to slow the spread.”
We have learned since 2016 that all Democrats, swamp Republicans, and their shock troops BLM and Anti-fa are above the law. We have learned that Clinton, Fauci, Gates, Soros and anyone named Biden are above the law. We have learned those who steal elections, release bioweapons, ban effective medicine while mandating death shots, import drugs, foreign armies, and God only knows what else through an open border, traffic the vulnerable, and imprison those who put up a defense; those are all above the law. Questioning any of their tactics makes you a “hater” and a “denier.”
No one complains when the “haters” and “deniers” are censored, deplatformed, debanked, or left to die alone in a hospital bed.
The mockingbird press is above the law.
We have learned that murderers and rapists and smash and grabbers that have destroyed any quality of life in the cities are all above the law. The DA’s and judges are above the law.
The FBI is above the law. The “Intelligence Community” is above the law. And the ironically named Department of Justice just makes up the law as it goes along. The law is whatever they decide it is depending on the defendant.
Therefore, for the targeted defendant, the law is malleable and ruthless.
The J6 political prisoners were the warm up act. Then they came for the election officials who spoke up about fraud. They came for the grandmas praying at abortion clinics, the parents protesting at school board meetings, and even the young soldier trying to defend citizens on a subway.
They came for candidate Trump with illegal warrants, for President Trump with an elaborate Clinton-bought hoax, and private citizen Trump with a deadly-force raid.
They come for every lawyer who has the courage to defend Trump or his political movement.
Until yesterday there was a pretense that we have a “justice system.” Yesterday the pretense ended. We now know where we stand. Lawlessness reigns. Juries seek revenge.
As a Trump delegate, I am afraid of what will happen in Milwaukee.
I curse the RNC decision to hold the Republican Convention in a blue state. Why are we spending our hard earned and triple-taxed money in places that hate us? Nebraska would be a fine place for a Republican convention.
I know that my fellow delegates and I will not be protected from any mobs that wish to do us harm, and that we could be imprisoned for defending ourselves.
President Trump will be sentenced by the New York show-trial court a few days before the Republican convention. Will he be there? Will he be in prison? Will we face intimidation to abandon our mandate to elect him?
Suddenly my joy at experiencing this once-in-a-lifetime event has turned to trepidation. No matter my discomfort, it pales in comparison to what President Trump, and all the political prisoners, are going through along with their families. Will the act of performing my civic duty make me one of them?
The fact that I can see that as a potential outcome means they have won. We are conquered. We were afraid to leave our house, afraid to stand up to the bullies, afraid to use lawfare or ballot harvesting after watching them get away with it. Afraid to defend our citizens and our President when they were persecuted by our own government.
Now they have made us afraid to travel, to congregate, to nominate, to take part in an electoral process that has survived centuries.
Will we be afraid to vote by November? Any fool can see that is the goal of the police state.
My dear grandparents were part of “The Greatest Generation.” They survived and thrived through unspeakable deprivation and war. Their sacrifice left us a beautiful legacy.
We will be remembered by our grandchildren as the generation who gave it all away with nothing more than a show-trial and whimper. Our shame is complete.
