Waving Goodbye to the America We All Knew and Loved

Waving Goodbye to the America We All Knew and Loved

My generation believed in the United States. We believed in its respect for the individual, in its Constitution, in its status as the only benign superpower in history. In other words, we believed in American exceptionalism. “Traditional American values are worthy of a passionate defense,” said author and TV commentator Monica Crowley. Referring to these values as “the American project,” Charles Murray, author of Coming Apart, defined it as the continuing effort “to demonstrate that human beings can be left free as individuals and families to live their lives as they see fit, coming together voluntarily to solve their joint problems.” If you boil it down, what makes our society unique in world history is the respect accorded the rights of the individual citizen. The Constitution was written as a restraint on the power of the government to interfere in our lives.

Lincoln, for Trump, For the People

Abraham Lincoln would be on Trump’s side. In his address to Congress on the third of December, 1861 Lincoln outlined how he saw the cultural forces that were dividing The Union. He was crystal clear on what was at stake. As he put it. “It continues to develop that the insurrection is largely, if not exclusively, a war upon the first principle of popular government,—the rights of the people.”

FBI launches probe after voice message picked up by air controllers threatens to FLY PLANE into US Capitol to ‘avenge Soleimani’

A voice message threatening a 9/11-style attack on the US Capitol has prompted a federal probe after the audio was picked up on aviation radios, vowing to “avenge” the US assassination of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani.

“We are flying a plane into the Capitol Wednesday. Soleimani will be avenged,” the mysterious message said, first received by air traffic controllers based in New York earlier this week, according to CBS News. The message refers to the American drone strike that killed the Iranian Quds Force leader near the Baghdad airport early last year.

Playing the Blame Game in Georgia

Last night, disaster was realized when the GOP lost both run-off Senate elections in Georgia. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue were defeated in razor thin races. You’ll be less than shocked to learn that DeKalb County (metro Atlanta) was once again unable to count their votes on time, had “technical difficulties,” and ended up flipping the race with a midnight dump of votes.

Regardless, what this means is that Joe Biden will now enjoy a fully unified government under a party that continues to push further and further left, both socially and economically. To say things couldn’t be worse this morning politically is not really an understatement.

Other U.S. officials included in the request are U.S. military commanders and officials in the region and at the Pentagon.
