Fearmongers want all Americans to languish in a nationwide shutdown with no end in sight.
It's amazing how the Left is hellbent on destroying America, and in this case, taking away our economy to get back at Trump, in order to defeat him in November. Hey, Demonicrats, nice try, but it's not going to work!
The Blue States, which are those run by Demonicrats, have had bad policies that actually made the Coronavirus DemPanic all the worse for their senior citizens, and those with underlying health conditions that are most at risk, and put their lives in grave jeopardy. New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania all made these horrifying mistakes. Not to mention, many of these blue states are wanting to extend the damage to the economy, and keep us from getting back to work.
It truly is sickening what they are doing to us in those states. And it isn't just the Blue States that are doing that. You can find local enclaves, mayors or county boards of supervisors in Red States that have gone a bit too far with the shutdown, too.
I live in one of those Red States, and have one of those mayors in my city, that had our annual Freedom Festival cancelled. I thought that was kind of an "in your face" when it comes to celebrating America's Freedom around the 4th of July. I am betting that a lot of people are going to be shooting off fireworks around here! I wonder what the police are going to do when thousands of people are violating all of the DemPanic "social distancing" rules, and shooting off fireworks that have been banned in this city? It's going to be interesting to see what the police will do.
We will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. We’re going to live on. We’re going to survive.
Today, I share this fantastic video that I found via Twitter for @realDonaldTrump, our President of the United States, for a reason. Actually for many reasons, but there is one that is very important to me, and to all of us. Our Freedom is at stake.
Just a half of a year ago, we were all getting ready to celebrate the Holidays with our loved ones. The economy was booming, and very few of us had any worries of losing our jobs. In fact, many of us even took jobs on the side, because there was so much demand for labor, and the pay was good. Or we worked overtime. Shoot, everything was so good, we had a lot to be thankful for.
A short two months later, everything was changed. We suddenly found ourselves dealing with an invisible enemy, without much knowledge about it, thanks to the World Health Organization, and China not giving us accurate information. In fact, as we have learned, while China was keeping it's people from traveling through the country, they were allowing international travel by their people, whether infected or not.
Suddenly, our lives were being changed, usually in draconian ways, depending on what State you live in. And because of the restrictions on our freedoms, large parts of this country became police states. If you said, "I will not comply," and opened your beauty parlor or tattoo shop, you would be arrested, or fined. Drastic measures were taken, and the State governments began closing schools, businesses, churches, and canceling all athletic events.
We asked them how long the restrictions would last, and they told us that the duration would be until we "flattened the curve," meaning that the death rates from Coronavirus begin to level off. They said it was so that hospitals wouldn't be overwhelmed. But now, many of the government entities, including governors, mayors and county boards, began to try to move the goal posts, and tell us that we must eradicate the Coronavirus before we can go back to work and reopen the economy.
It sure seems like the attack on our freedom, and turning off our economy, IS their goal. While we hear them saying that "testing" is the answer, maybe what they mean is that they are testing us, to see how much tyranny we'll accept.
So, think about that. Those that favor tyranny over us are trying to find out how long they can exert their power over us, before we say ENOUGH! And no, there won't be some kind of bloody rebellion, like they've told us in the history books about past governments that got out of control. No, it will be people in the park that go dance with the guy that was dancing alone. It will be We the People that go ahead and do what we can do.
When I saw this video, I got goose bumps. I am sure Liberals will say it was a secret signal to us that we should revolt. For this one time, I can say, they're right, except what they consider a revolt is. Most likely, they'll only believe that it will be a violent revolt. That is where they will try to gaslight us, and lie. No, it won't be violent. It will only be people that are not afraid to go dance in the park with the others that are doing the same. If you do, you won't be alone.
Most likely, the local and state governments will arrest and/or fine people, maybe even take away their licenses. It will sure be fun seeing all of the law suits that will follow!
So, yes, let's tell the state and local governments that we're done with the lock down, at least by Independence Day, July 4, 2020. On that day, at the very least, go out and celebrate with neighbors, family, and friends. Shoot off some fireworks if you can. (Yes, I live in a city with a Communist mayor here in Eastern Iowa, where they banned fireworks in the city, even though they are legal in the State of Iowa. Despite that, on the 4th, a lot of fireworks are still going off.)
You are here, as you are, and it is good. You are alive, aware, uniquely inspired, and able to choose from a vast array of possibilities.
Don’t get caught up in worrying about what could have been or what should have been. Instead, turn your awareness toward the very real and present beauty of what is.
It was in the last paragraph written by Ralph Marston, that I knew I needed to start this blog post in this way: "You have this amazing and valuable moment, so live it to the fullest. Feel the immense goodness, as you are, and be all you can be."
When I say that "I need to be different, and I need to do things differently" I'm not saying that anything about ME needs to change. What I am saying is that I am okay with the fact that I don't exactly do things like everyone else. I've seen the way so many news websites and blogs all look alike these days. Even Joseph Farah changed the look of WorldNetDaily, now known as WND... Am I supposed to do everything like all the big players are doing it now, or is it okay if I stay "old school"?
Yes, it is true that things change or evolve, especially when it comes to technology! But it's also possible - at the same time - that it is just my older age and the desire to maintain the status quo. I was going through that feeling around Christmas in 2011.
So, here is my point: I kind of liked the way we were free at one time. Taking away that freedom is rubbing me a little bit wrong. It is not the "change" that I would ever hope for!
For now, I am sticking to the traditions that I've known: I still want to "Bring on the Fireworks!" every July 4th, on that day we celebrate our Independence Day. I'm just sayin'...
The chief of the Criminal Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Arizona is refusing to testify before Congress regarding Operation Fast and Furious, the federal gun-running scandal that sent U.S. weapons to Mexico.
Patrick J. Cunningham informed the House Oversight Committee late Thursday through his attorney that he will use the Fifth Amendment protection.
Cunningham was ordered Wednesday to appear before Chairman Darrell Issa and the House Oversight Committee regarding his role in the operation that sent more than 2,000 guns to the Sinaloa Cartel. Guns from the failed operation were found at the murder scene of Border Agent Brian Terry.
A final counting of the Iowa caucus shows Rick Santorum really beat out
Mitt Romney by a handful of votes.The certified results, released Thursday by the Iowa Republican Party, show Santorum won by 34 votes. As previously reported, Romney was called the winner by 8 votes at 1:30am local time on January 4.
Every time you think the media are about to run out of ideas for transforming a nonstory into a spectacular news event, they manage to come up with yet another gem. That said, forgive me for adding my two cents worth to the Bain Capital brouhaha.
Those who know Newt Gingrich best have long predicated he would implode, even after he shot to the top of the polls, which he managed to do by cleverly playing the role of the calm, intellectual, peacemaking elderly statesman who was above the fray. So Gingrich’s angry obsession with taking down MittMan, even if it means destroying his own chances of winning the Republican nomination, is not surprising.
After observing his words and actions – from his climate-changing couch love-fest with Nancy Pelosi to his infamous “right-wing social engineering” comment about Paul Ryan’s budget plan – and then his scorched-earth attacks on free-market capitalism – I’ve come to the conclusion that Newt is not just a nasty, egomaniacal, self-destructive, undisciplined flip-flopper.
Seriously, I can not make this stuff up! While in the process of working on another blog story, "Occupied Nation ~ By Patrice Lewis," on Sunday morning, a subject came up on Fox & Friends Sunday that took me by surprise. I had not heard about this before Sunday. Isn't it interesting that it came out right before the July 4th holiday weekend? Surely, it was just ironic coincidence.
Independence Day has always been my favorite non-religious holiday. Though I love watching the fire works show, it is the meaning of the day that is important to me. It always has been, and always will be.
Yesterday morning, I happened to have captured some great video on Fox & Friends. Peter Johnson, Jr. gave a wonderful tribute to Independence Day that I would like to share with you today:
Independence Day: The Real Meaning of the Holiday - Peter Johnson Jr
Happy Independence Day! A great tribute to the holiday many people just call the 4th of July, but it is about America's birthday and Independence.
On this holiday weekend, please do not forget about our veterans that have fought for our freedom. They are the ones that have for so long both given us freedom, and have fought to protect it, many who gave their lives to do so. And most of all, we must not allow their sacrifice to go to waste. This November 2 will be the day we can change things in Washington D.C., and even in our states and cities. It will truly be up to us if we want to keep our liberty now and in the future. Just sayin'...
So, relax tomorrow. Kick back and grill. Watch a ballgame. Shoot off the fireworks and wave Old Glory.
But, for heaven's sake, don't forget what this holiday is all about. It's about one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all.
Tomorrow Americans will take the day off, watch ballgames, barbecue in the backyard, watch fireworks displays and fly the flag.
But I'm hoping they will do more than that this Independence Day.
Given the state of our nation this July 4, 2010, I recommend everyone sit down with their family and their friends and read the Declaration of Independence. It's a document that is as relevant today as it was when it was written 234 years ago.
You've got to read it like you were reading it for the first time – with a fresh perspective. It might help that Americans are in the embrace of a tyranny very familiar to the founders who wrote and signed this historic document.
Look what they wrote. It is both a list of grievances and a sweeping vision of a life previously unknown anywhere in the world.
What were their grievances?
As I write in my new book, "The Tea Party Manifesto: A Vision for an American Rebirth" – which I chose to launch tomorrow, even though the bookstores are mostly closed, because the symbolism was too powerful to ignore – we can relate well to the founders' complaints:
government was failing to perform the limited responsibilities the institution was required to perform;
government was exceeding its authority;
government was violating individual rights;
government was obstructing immigration laws;
government was obstructing justice;
government was turning the land into a police state;
government was superseding the established laws of the land.
Yes, indeed, I can relate.
In fact, as I wrote in a previous book, "Taking America Back," I actually believe the founders, despite their colonist status, lived in a society far freer than the one we know in America today.
In effect, we have allowed ourselves to be colonized once again, this time, not by a foreign power, but by our own domestic central government in Washington.
We may have more modern conveniences. We may have a more comfortable life than the colonists. Food and shelter and the basic necessities of life may be easier to come by than they were in the 18th century. But, can anyone truly suggest that we have more liberty than most of the colonists had? I think it would be very hard to make that case.
Yet, those men and women were willing to sacrifice everything they had – their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor – to make a heroic stand for liberty.
Often, throughout my life, I have wished I could live in a time and place like that. Could this be such a time and place?
I believe America is on the brink of major changes. This country is at a crossroads. And whether we choose the freedom path or the tyranny path will be decided in one of the most historic elections in American history Nov. 2.
But that won't be the end of the fight. That will be just the beginning.
The tea-party movement arose in response to the increase in tyranny Americans are facing. It's a vibrant and broad grass-roots movement. Yet, how long it lasts and how much impact it will have on the future of our nation is still to be determined.
Let me just echo what a reader said in a comment written to Joseph: "Mr. Farah, I just want to thank you for all that you and your staff do to enable us, your readers, with the knowledge and the tools to spread the truth and support our Constitution."
Now, all we need to is teach our representatives and government officials how to read. Just sayin'...
Just as Americans need to rediscover their moral bearings by returning to the biblical principles that helped shape the nation's course for its first 200 years, we also need to understand the priceless, ingenious roadmap our founders left us in the Constitution and Declaration of Independence.
So let's not just wave the flag in this season of patriotism from Memorial Day through Independence Day. Let's wave those copies of the Constitution. Let's read them. Let's hold America's officials to accountability to it. Let's be ever-vigilant in reminding them it's the law of the land.
For a guy who wrote a book called "Taking America Back" and explained how only a return to constitutional principles could save the country, this is very, very good news indeed.
The people are getting it.
It's Washington that is not.
But, I believe, Washington is going to get a wake-up call in about five months with the midterm elections.
Of course, I knew for some time this reawakening was occurring.
I saw it in the phenomenal sales of the Constitution. And, I also saw it in the comments I have been receiving from readers – comments like this one:
"Last year I ordered several copies of the Constitution from the Superstore so I could give them to my representative and non-representatives, plus have a few on hand for whatever. Today they came in handier than I had ever thought they would. I had a Census worker show up on my doorstep at noon. I told her I had already returned the Census form, and she told me that for some reason it hadn't been received. (I'm guessing it was because all I answered was the number of people residing at the address.) Anyway, after verifying my address and the number of people living at the address as of April 1, I told her I wasn't going to answer any more questions. When she asked me for my phone number, I produced my copy of the Constitution I had purchased from you. She immediately asked me where I had gotten it from, and then proceeded to tell me how angry she had been about four years ago when she went to our local library in Billings, Mont., and asked to get a copy of the Constitution and was told they didn't have it. They offered her a Marxist book instead! (I am working on verifying whether that policy is still in existence or not.)
"Anyway, I told her where I had gotten it, and told her she could have that copy. She gladly took it, and left. Needless to say, I'm going to be ordering more copies of the Constitution, because I have a feeling that I'm going to have more opportunities to be giving it out! Mr. Farah, I just want to thank you for all that you and your staff do to enable us, your readers, with the knowledge and the tools to spread the truth and support our Constitution. God bless you all!"
crosstribenetwork.blogspot.com — Today's feature is from Bob Gotti, who does the Poetic Pulpit website (link included in the blog.) This poetry by Bob Gotti has helped me today, considering all that's happening today in America. We need to pray for America, today! And, we need to pray for each other, too. We're all facing great challenges. Depend on God today!Happy Independence Day !
One of my great DIGG buddies, Alexander, had a terrific and powerful blog today for Independence day. It awakened me to another revelation, which I expounded on. While we will ALWAYS be free to live for the Lord Jesus, will we always have the freedom to spread the message to the World? It me realize how important our freedom, as we know it, is.

"The freedom we are offered in America is a blessing. However, where does my greatest freedom come from?" - AlexanderWritesI can always count on my friend Alexander to write wonderful, inspirational pieces like the one linked to today, "The Greatest Freedom". What an excellent way to start my day!
What Alexander reminded me of today is that there is a freedom that can not ever be taken away from us. While there has been many doom-and-gloomers out here in Cyber-Land - me included - that feel our freedoms in America are being incrementally taken away from us, this is not one that ANYONE can take away.
We will always have a way, if we have the willingness, to follow the Lord Jesus in our lives. There is no way that can ever be taken away from us! You will always have the freedom to choose to follow the Lord Jesus. However, the problem is that, in various circumstances, there may eventually be detrimental consequences for making that choice. Many will unfortunately be deterred from making the right choice.
While I don't want to sound dramatic, I need you to know something. There may be a day when we will lose a vital freedom. Our freedom of speech is being feverishly attacked; there are those that will attempt to eliminate our ability to evangelize to bring the Good News of what Jesus has done for us. And that is why, with the utmost urgency, the Warriors of the Lord must now do all we can to bring many more souls to Jesus. We may always have the freedom to choose the Lord, we may be hindered from sharing our message. So, now IS the time!
