A Warning Everyone Needs to Hear About Biden ~ Ep. 1312 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address the disturbing information I received from a source about the rapidly deteriorating condition of Joe Biden. I also address the latest troubling incident in the liberal culture war on America.

When Dan Bongino was introducing this show, and in his concluding remarks, Dan talked about Joe Biden's rapidly diminishing cognitive abilities, and the threat to us all when the government takes over health care.  Near the end of this episode, there was a situation in a British hospital, where the police were dragging a man away from his dying daughter, arresting him.  Folks, that could have been me, in a different situation, but with the same cause:  Government decisions that may have impaired my freedom and pursuit of happiness, and not being able to be with my dad very much in his last days.

As Dan has spoke about often in the last few months, sometimes decisions come down to bad outcomes, and worse outcomes.  I had to keep that wisdom with me since early in this year of 2020.  In Iowa, the nursing homes became locked down until further notice, in early March.  It was for the safety of the residents, many at very advanced ages, like my dad who had turned 100 years old last November.  That decision by my Governor angered me to a great extent.  There was a unanimous agreement that my siblings and I getting over to see my dad on a pretty regular basis, and kept his mind stimulated by playing a game called "Rummikub".  It seemed to work, considering he had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's quite a few years ago (maybe 7 or 8?).  And for the first time in 75 years, he was alone, as my mom passed away in 2016.  (Why is it always in an election year?)

Well, I knew the consequences when the lockdown went into affect, and I had some very viscous thoughts at that time, that I ask the Lord to forgive me for.  There would not have been a good outcome had I done something, such as try to forcefully enter the facility.  I knew that.  And because jail never sounded appealing to me, I held myself back.  Yes, I fully analyzed the outcomes of doing this or that, but finally realized the PLUS side was that I could do nothing.  (Thank you, Greg Gutfeld, even though your book wasn't out yet, what you wrote was the strategy that I already knew about, from my own life experiences.)

And thank you Dan Bongino, for giving me something to do.  No, you didn't suggest that I did it, but you provided the thought stimulation that I needed to get through those last few months before my dad finally succumbed to his illness and old age.  Thankful, indeed, that my Dad was with us all the way through the ultimate pandemic lockdown, and we got to be with him as a family the day before Fathers Day in June 2020.  

So, what I really don't understand, knowing what my family has been through, I have to ask why Joe Biden's family is allowing Joe to be involved in this charade as the Demonicrat nominee?  Really?!  Do they honestly think that he could be elected as President of the most powerful country in human history in his condition?  And if he was elected, God forbid, how do they expect him to perform his duties?  Well, he couldn't.  So, what do the Demonicrats plan to do?  How do they expect people to react to a President that doesn't know what day it is?  Rhetorical question, if you watched this episode.  I don't think that the people want a figurehead Presidency, where a group is in the shadows, making decisions.  Right, a shadow government.  That is NOT what the American public is really hoping for.  Bad enough that we have a Deep State that tried a coup.  We're done with that kind of cow manure.    

While you are watching this episode, you will see Dan absolutely demolish the cancel culture.  Yes, the cancel culture that wants to burn Bibles and blur the meaning of reality, and our wonderful history.  Yes, we can LEARN from history.  If they take that out of the schools, canceling history, how are we going to be able to depend on our future generations to learn from history?  We definitely have to make it our goal to cancel the Cancel Culture.  Here's how:  Watch this episode!

The Culture War- An Interview with Michael Knowles ~ Ep. 1286 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show's description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I interview Michael Knowles, host of the wildly popular podcast “The Michael Knowles Show.”

Like me, if you aren't already, you will be a huge Michael Knowles fan after you see this interview with Dan Bongino.  In the past five months that I've been following Dan's show, it has been both continuing education and verification of my beliefs.  Kind of like the other great ones, like Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levine, Simon Conway, Joe "JoePags" Pagliarulo, and President Donald Trump, who are all obviously great... because they all think like me.  Good thing for all of them, God didn't give me their great speaking abilities.  Only the intellect that I need to put a couple sentences together.  You know what I'm saying.  God's gifts to us are only on loan, anyway, and I will happily accept His gifts to me.   My Salvation is the one that means the most, but I happily make use of any opportunity that I have to write.

Okay, I know you all love it when I come up with a major take-away from the Dan Bongino Show episodes and interviews.  I've got one for you today that will either make you nod your head in agreement, or make you wonder how long I'll last in the blogging world... or social media.  On the internet?  Since the very late 1980's, I was on things like AOL (LOL!) and CompuServe.  And then on January 1, 2000, I started my website, www.johnny2k.com (which has been in renovation mode since early this year).   Intimidation?  I've handled it.  Multiple scammers, spammers, critics, leftist losers and trolls, attacking me at every turn.  I not only never let that intimidation get to me, I fought back.  Especially against the scammers and spammers, who I turned in to Federal authorities such as the FBI and USPS Postal Inspectors.  When I needed to, I switched to different social media venues.

Dan and Michael pointed out how a lot of the things going on, like with destroying statues and monuments, or kneeling for the U. S. flag during the National Anthem, is a power play.  It is meant to intimidate us, and divide us.  But I really think that the intimidation strategy is the biggest part of the power play.  Why?  Because when they divide us, it is so much easier to conquer us when they intimidate us, while we are divided.

Keep that in mind as we grow closer to the election in November.  The Demonicrats will use many of the strategies from their playbook, and that big one is divide, intimidate, and conquer.  They tried to use the polls in 2016, and it didn't work, it didn't intimidate us, we went ahead and voted for Donald Trump, anyway.  Apparently, though it didn't work before, they're trying the same thing again.  Let's fool them again.  That sounds like loads of fun!

The blessing of shame ~ By Patrice Lewis

Americans lost our sense of shame when we allowed government to replace God. Generations of entitlements and a "me-mentality" has resulted in people unable to control their animal urges when faced with a child in a short skirt or a store with unattended merchandise. And this is during good times. What will happen when the economy really tanks? What kind of hyena-like activity can we expect then?

Should a series of disasters such as what Japan is currently experiencing strike our nation, there is no possible way we could ever expect the societal restraint the Japanese are demonstrating in the face of tragedy. Katrina showed us that. As a nation we are no longer capable of controlling our animal instincts. That sense of shame is gone.

Patrice spells out one of the major problems facing this country. It is a problem that could doom this country if it not be turned around before a major catastrophe like the Japanese are now facing.

There are several excellent points that Patrice makes about this problem:

• We cannot impose a sense of shame on anyone else. We cannot infuse anyone else with self-control. By definition, self-control comes from one's SELF.

• Fortunately, self-control is instantly achievable. All it takes is a choice, a decision.

• Self-control isn't any "fun" (which is why it is so seldom exercised), but it is honorable, moral and beneficial to society as a whole.

• Being American used to be a distinction of which citizens were justifiably proud. We knew we had the ability to be great because we had the roots and moral foundation and heritage to prove it.

So, here is the question: Can Americans again be like the honorable Japanese that are "to be congratulated for their restraint and self-control and for embracing the blessing of shame?" That is going to be a question that will test this Nation at some point. But here is how Patrice concludes her column, and what we need to be reminded of before it is too late:

God's blessings are a gift, and according to the Bible, the first gift was the gift of shame. But like all gifts, it's up to the recipient to accept or refuse it. Too many people have decided to refuse this gift – and refusing a gift from God is never a good idea. (emphasis my own)

Like much of the world, our family has been riveted by the tragedies in Japan over the past week, and we've been closely following the unfolding disasters. But one aspect of the Japanese reaction to the catastrophes has impressed me deeply.

Now let me jump subjects a bit. A couple of news stories from a few weeks ago caught my eye, a new phenomenon known as flash mobs. In one instance, a group of 30 to 40 teens gathered in a mall and proceeded to create havoc – flipping tables, pushing shoppers, knocking over items. In other more disturbing instances, flash mobs communicate by Twitter and then descend en masse upon a store, where they'll scream, knock merchandise over, grab items and run. With such large groups, the store's security personnel are overwhelmed, and most of the teens don't get caught. "It's all part of a growing phenomenon," notes the article. For the most part the teens don't know each other; they just temporarily assemble to create havoc, cause vandalism and steal.

Let me jump subjects again. Once more there are reports of shocking clothes and toys on the market specifically designed to pre-sexualize young girls to an alarming degree. Someone had to come up with the idea for these items and spend the money designing and manufacturing them, and yet retailers seem surprised at any objections.

Another subject jump. In Cleveland, 18 men and boys have been charged with gang-raping an 11-year-old girl. The lawyer of one of the accused actually said the victim was "seeking attention" because she was wearing a short skirt. What, an 11-year-old child "asked" to be gang-raped by wearing certain clothing?

What do all these unrelated stories have in common? Simple: a lack of shame.

Decades of liberal brainwashing, decades of moral relativism in schools, decades of single parenting with no fathers in the home, decades of mocking the biblical principles that once kept our nation's citizens in check … these have all combined to rip us loose from the moorings that kept our society civil, decent, respectful and ethical.

These behaviors are NOT an issue of poverty. Please, spare me that old line. It's an issue of moral, values, cultural standards and ethics. It's an issue of right versus wrong, of good and evil. Of a refusal to accept the blessing of shame.

Facebook as the new public square ~ By Phil Elmore

Facebook has even been given the Hollywood treatment. "The Social Network," starring Justin Timberlake and Jesse Eisenberg, dramatizes the creation of the site, casting the social network's pivotal figures as would-be Internet conquerors so polarizing that some speculate whether the film could harm Facebook's business. The fact that the site is a business is readily forgotten by most of its users, myself included. While Facebook's revenue streams range from overt banner ads to virtual stores to more subtle, insidious pay-to-play addictive online games, most of its denizens pay no money (directly, anyway) to use it. They take it for granted, and as they come to rely on it, it insinuates itself into the fabric of their day-to-day lives. (emphasis my own)

On the day that this Technocracy column was posted by Phil Elmore on WorldNetDaily.com, I wrote the following tweet:

Facebook as the new public square http://bit.ly/ce8m3H So compelling that I am not sure I can blog this one and do it justice. @phil_elmore   2:09 PM Sep 30th

Yes, I still feel the same way. It is still very compelling, and I am still not sure if I can do it justice in a blog, but I decided to try to add my thoughts and commentary anyway.

On the surface, it may not seem like a column that I would normally consider including on Blogging in Our Time 2 Escape. Normally, my genre is in American politics and economics. Phil's column, in this case, didn't really touch on politics, but it did focus on culture. But let's face it, culture has a direct influence on politics and economics, and vice versa.

As Phil says, "Social networking has inarguably expanded the 'public square'." Since Facebook has become a major player in the social networking world, with over 500 million users, it has created a gigantic public square. While MySpace.com tends to cater more toward Rock groups and rocking teens interested in music, in my humble opinion, Facebook has become the virtual public square of the world. Yes, on Facebook, while you can still find out what a long-lost friend had for dinner yesterday, there is much more to it now. For now, just about any political organization, candidate, organizations with a cause, or budding bloggers, can now have their own virtual website, without having to spend the big bucks to have a web presence. Honestly, any individual or organization with a cultural statement to make would be foolish NOT to have a Facebook page.

There is something else that Facebook has done that has gone unnoticed by many in the media. It has created a social network on an international scale. It has become the "public square" of a world without borders. And I think that one of the things we will all be learning is that because of this, cultures of specific geographies will soon begin to intermix. That's right, you heard it here first. And the big news is that the only thing that can possibly stop it from happening would be government intervention. (In other words, you may still not find too many Facebook friends living in North Korea... for now.) Or more bluntly, as Phil had written:

Meanwhile, Glorious Leader Obama, who never met a private citizen or news agency he could not vilify for daring to disagree with him, has set his Orwellian sights on Facebook posters (as well as Skype and Blackberry users) so that he and his thought police can wiretap these services on command.

What Phil was alluding to in his column, and what I am expounding on, is that Facebook is, or will soon be, the new 21st Century battleground of ideas and cultural conflicts. It is also a place for peaceful dissent when you don't like what your government is doing, at least for now. It would seem to be a better way to fight than by spilling blood. Well, okay, a few people have taken their Facebook disputes into the parking lots for actual physical confrontations... But, I digress.  Seriously, for the most part, Facebook is still a great way of sharing ideas and cultures where the worst that can happen is that you may occasionally be "unfriended." And if that is the worst that can happen, I think we may be able to still hope for a more peaceful world in our future. Just sayin'...

Social networking has inarguably expanded the "public square." It has made our personal relationships easier – to initiate, to maintain, and to conclude – thanks to the immediacy of online contact regardless of physical distance. It has therefore made our personal lives more volatile. This volatility is neither good nor bad; it is simply a fact of social networking in general and of Facebook in particular.

This is true whether you like it – or whether you, uh, don't click the "like" button.

Facebook as the new public square

I lost a friend last week. I know, because, Facebook told me so. It might, in fact, be more accurate to say that Facebook made the decision for me – the decision to conclude a friendship over which I was wringing my hands.

A close friend of mine, you see, had become increasingly distant over many months, coping with issues of his own. As I watched him alienate family members while doing his best also to push me away, his personality evolved. The proverbial "they" say that people don't change, but of course they do, and I am no less guilty of this than anyone. In this case, however, a person I had known for several years began offering unsolicited criticism and inflicting an ugly, frequently caustic and ever-more arrogant attitude on the rest of the world – when he was feeling like answering messages at all, which he often wouldn't.

Then, one day, I logged into Facebook and discovered he had "unfriended" me. While I was grappling with whether I should cut ties with someone I regarded as a brother, in order to remove from my life a negative influence, he was clicking a mouse and rendering me a virtual unperson. For a teenage girl, this would be a mortal offense. For me, as an adult and in perspective against the rest of my life, it was merely an irritant. But it was also a sobering declaration. I realized just how important Facebook has become in facilitating both the development and the termination of real-life friendships. In the synchronicity that often accompanies such mundane revelations, I quickly found other friends and family acting out this very phenomenon.

Surfing through my Facebook friends' pages, I discovered a relative embroiled in a furious argument with an even more distant relative. The exchange was pretty ugly, if harmless, and revealed a combative side to both individuals I hadn't realized existed. I vowed to stay out of it.

The same day, I spoke to another friend of mine whose wife, daughter, mother and father are all on Facebook. He'd received a frantic alert in the early morning from his mother, who, through his father, reported that his daughter had been leaving inappropriate comments on the site. It turned out that his dad, new to social networking, had misconstrued comments made by a friend of the daughter's as her own statements (an easy mistake to make, given how Facebook displays "wall posts" made by friends-of-friends in the user's activity stream).

Most of these people have in common the fact that they were all, at least at one time, people I would not have thought would have Facebook accounts. The site's powerful influence on society is thanks to how many people use it, after all. It encourages users to register real names rather than pseudonyms, making it easier to find and connect with your real-life acquaintances (although my friend Sidney Remington, last name withheld, was initially told by Facebook that his name could not possibly be real). Facebook blurs the lines dividing social categories, making virtual strangers "friends" and allowing everyone from your boss to your mother to the members of your high-school graduating class to know what you had for dinner last week (and whether you uploaded a photo of it from your mobile phone).
