It is a year late but states are finally taking back their constitutional responsibility for their own elections. Democratic state secretaries and/or governors arbitrarily changed existing state law during COVID to influence the 2020 election in battleground states to favor their Democratic candidates.
As all know, outside censored media, in Arizona the State Senate is deep in a forensic audit of Maricopa County’s November 3, 2020 election. Currently, the audit is looking at presidential and Senate races, but it could be expanded to other race results later this summer. The main release is targeted for August.
Pennsylvania, Democrat election officials are panicking because of “the scale of known Philadelphia ballot fraud.” Acting Secretary of State, Democrat Veronica Degraphenred issued a “statewide directive seeking to block any Pennsylvania legislative attempt to audit the 2020 election results.” But the U.S.Constitution clearly leaves all the law making regarding elections with the state legislature alone (see Article 1, Section 4) and the Pennsylvania Senate just began an election audit of three counties: Tioga, York, and Philadelphia.
Wisconsin does not yet have an audit but the State Senate “has commissioned an investigation of the election, hiring three retired law enforcement officers to look into thousands of complaints and tips received since November.”
In Michigan Matt DePerno is uncovering election fraud through a lawsuit filed in Antrim County. Lawsuits force discovery opening volumes of suppressed information which can be used elsewhere as well. Unfortunately most state officials are still fighting calls for an audit but that breaks down as more and more evidence surfaces.
In the state of Washington Representative Robert Sutherland is scheduling public hearings to gather evidence of election irregularities.
In New Hampshire, the town of Windham conducted an audit but there has been no interest by state officials in authorizing a larger one (Ep. 2524-Facts Are Coming Out at a Level which can be called Fast and Furious. Let’s See what Happens, X22 Reports, July 11, 2021, Praying Medic).
In Georgia Anti-Trump Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, “is making public a list of nearly 102,000 voters who will be removed from the voting rolls unless they act to preserve their registration.” These he suspects of having died or moved from the state, 67,000 of whom had “submitted a change of address form to the U.S. Postal Service, and about 34,000 voters who had election mail returned” (Georgia officials seek to remove 102,000 voters from rolls, by Jeff Amy, Atlanta, June 18, 2021). Certainly several thousand of such had died or moved before the 2020 Presidential election. If these are found to have still voted, though dead or moved long before the election, the state may have to have an audit, more so if these voted for Biden in large enough numbers to have given him the election. Many wonder why the cleansing of the voter rolls was not implemented before the election. Private citizens have filed lawsuits in several counties that are working to uncover enough fraud to compel state officials to authorize an audit. Once again, suits allow discovery of previously suppressed data.
Last March Georgia passed the Election Integrity Act of 2021 closing the door of what supporters believed was much of the fraud it spotted in the 2020 Presidential Election. The 98-page law tightened the rules on early voting, absentee voting, limited the number of and places of drop boxes, shortened runoff times and required voter ID for voting, among other things. That this new law came about so soon after the election just passed, demonstrates that a majority of the legislators felt that the election had been fraudulent. To a lesser degree several other states have done the same.
So, despite the Left’s long-standing attempt to censor, then discredit, any probe into the 2020 presidential election there’s much interest in the Arizona audit with at least 14 states viewing it very carefully waiting for the results. If they produce the evidence other state audits will follow. (Ep. 2524-Facts Are Coming Out at a Level which can be called Fast and Furious. Let’s See what Happens, X22 Reports, July 11, 2021). The Left will DO ANYTHING to suppress this information including one or more “red flags” (an event to upstage this news for other news) or media blackouts;—this to maintain their hold on the uninformed.
How certain are proponents that audits will prove massive election treason? Dr. Douglas G. Frank, a statistician of some renown, focusing upon the impossibilities of so many of the mathematical anomalies surrounding the 2020 Presidential Election wrote, of three indisputable facts. First, “We already have ample evidence of algorithms operational in dozens of states, based upon … different mathematical approaches.” Each shows, “There is a dead body on the floor, a murder has been committed.”
Second, “We have piles of forensic evidence which reveal the means by which the manipulations took place. We have the murder weapon and the fingerprints.”
And third, “Now, we are processing video tapes (PCAPs) of the manipulation taking place during November…and also in subsequent elections.” Why? “We are going to show the tapes in public, because the courts won’t take the murder case, and too much of the public hasn’t even seen the dead body on the floor yet. We are going to play the movies for everyone.”
Obvious conclusion, expect more election audits.

A strange eerie silence stalks the land somewhat similar to that after Abraham Lincoln was elected president. The nation had already divided choosing sides. Everyone knew that electing Lincoln would be too much for the South and an impending crisis would break any time. It was on everyones’ mind just below the surface and no one wanted to admit that it existed, but it did.
Senator John J. Crittenden had two sons each a general on each side of the Mason Dixon Line who stood on opposite sides. They would be fighting each other. In Congress he offered the Crittenden Compromise dividing the nation on that line and extending it west with slavery permitted south and prohibited north. No one cared.
Northern newspapers censored the southern view and the South the northern view. Only in the middle states, where a military conflict was most likely to occur, could the people get some semblance of both sides. The nation held its breath but still Fort Sumter came and thereafter 620,000 soldiers lost their lives.
Today, 161 years later, the major difference is that there exists no geographical line. Its rural vs. urban, neighbor vs. neighbor and family members vs. family members. Now the division line is socialism vs. freedom, globalism vs. patriotism. The censorship of the patriot side by the globalist controlled media is almost total—still everyone feels it. One side hates our flag, our anthem, our Constitution, our history, our national heroes, our police and seemingly our country itself, anxious to destroy it all. They also call everyone but themselves racist but are themselves the first to use race to define and divide others.
How do we defuse our impending crisis so that we too do not reach a point of no return as they? Truth Hammer of We the Media has the only real answer. In an email addressed to “Any honest people left…on the political left,” he asks.
“As you know we are severely divided…. To avoid actual war we MUST have free and fair elections… and 1/2 of America really does believe the other half is now rigging elections. Take a moment to allow this to sink in.
“We really do believe YOUR chosen leaders colluded with the mainstream media Big Tech Censorship and rigged the election.
“If you really understand this, you’ll be feeling some chills about now. How do you want to resolve this “powder keg” moment in American (and world) history?
“Will future generations look back with gladness that we found a civil way to work together? Or will this generation end up as a cautionary tale of how not to let political division progress to the point of no return?
“YOU have the power to play a role in the solution. If you are confident the election was not rigged, then you should be EAGER to prove that, no matter how many audits are needed because audits are cheap compared to the actual conflict that might emerge. If half the country comes to believe it has been backed into a corner by the other side with no way out.
“FACT. We’ve seen case after case dismissed by controversial decisions of technicalities or courts that straight up refused to take a case. Not one swing state case has been cited on the merits.
“You have weaponized our records against us and are blocking every effort to open up the election and even look on how it went down.
“Look forward, where do you think your present course of action leads? HINT the answer is right in the Marxist playbook, your leaders often quote from (We the Media, Ep. 2467b – Soon They Won’t Be Able To Walk Down The Street, Election Fraud Panic Intensifies, X22 Report, May 2, 2021).
But unfortunately the globalists oppose the ongoing Arizona audit and any other examination of the election of 2020 with passion and their media networks censor any info regarding such. Why? An old adage comes to mind, “Thou protests too much.” Only those who know they cheated and that the outcome would show such, would protest with such vehemence.
If you know that you won honestly the normal response would be. “Please do it. Here are all our records. Examine our voting machines. Take all the time you need.” “Let this issue be resolved forever.” The Left have everything to gain by the audits. If vindicated their accusers would look like fools. Their media would have a field day with election fodder for years.
This is why you don’t support audits. Over a thousand witnesses with sworn affidavits, under penalty of perjury, testifying they witnessed you cheat.
In August the Arizona audit will be released showing you cheated. Arizona will rescind its previous vote for Joe Biden. Other swing states will follow with audits of their own showing the same with their rescinding also. You will have to give the election back to its rightful winner. The vast majority of Americans will support this action not only because they respect free and fair elections and law and order but because they love our flag, our anthem, our Constitution, our history, our national heroes, and our police.
This is the only way to prevent a new civil war. Let us support the audit together. You can’t censor away the eerie feeling of an impending crisis without it.

There are few persons in U.S. leadership the last 50 years more committed to the New World Order (world government) than Joe Biden. So committed that on April 23, 1992, then Joe Biden, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee’s European Affairs Subcommittee, published in the Wall Street Journal, “How I Learned to Love the New World Order.” In it he expressed a need for a “permanent commitment of forces for use by the Security Council”—a U.N. standing army adding, “Why not breathe life into the U.N. Charter?” His plans would destroy national sovereignty and establish world government over all nations under the United Nations.
Of course a standing army empowers the UN beyond the ability of any participating state to resist, including the United States. Its failure to have a standing army and the Constitution, forbidding a government over it, are the reasons we are not already ruled by a world government. It is the one thing left prohibiting such.. Without an army it cannot enforce its will; with one it can. To advance its causes it must depend upon persuasion of a majority of nations, rather than brute force. That is the breath of life Biden was referencing.
For America such would nullify the Constitution, which Biden has many times sworn to uphold, particularly the Declaration of Independence. Few Americans want world government. America would be subject to the whims of the majority of nations of which very few endow their people with any specific rights of FREEDOM FROM THE GOVERNMENT, as does ours. Liberty would evaporate from the planet.
This was no fluke position. In a speech as Vice President to the Export-Import Bank conference in Washington, D.C. April 5, 2013, he reiterated that theme. “The affirmative task we have now is to, um, create a new world order, because the global order is changing again.” The next year he told graduating cadets of the U.S. Air Force Academy Class of 2014. “You, your class has an incredible window of opportunity to lead in shaping a new world order for the 21st century.” In Davos 2017 he doubled down on the the same theme to billionaires gathered at the World Economic Forum. The theme showed up again in the Council on Foreign Relations January-February 2018 issue of Foreign Affairs co-authored with Michael Carpenter (“Pushing the Great Reset, William F. Jasper, The New American, March 22, 2021). If Biden is committed to anything, whether cognitively failing or not, it is world government.
The latest terminology used to advance world government now is the Great Reset endorsed by the world’s billionaires notably George Soros, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and articulated best by World Economic Forum (WEF) founder Klaus Schwab in his book “COVID-19: The Great Reset.” To the question when things might return to normal he responded. “The short response is: never. Nothing will ever return to the ‘broken’ sense of normalcy that prevailed prior to the crisis because the coronavirus pandemic marks a fundamental inflection point in our global trajectory” (Ibid. p. 13). Global trajectory is code for world government. Schwab was thus admitting that COVID was being used to advance rational for world government. LibertyUnderFire has published extensively on the use of climate change to advance the same objective. Both world health (pandemics) and world climate (disasters) need world government solutions, they falsely argue.
But it’s not just Biden who seeks to upend our constitutional republic with world government, his administration is brimming with those equally committed to the same; 32 thus far holding the highest offices in the executive branch (“Biden CFR-TC-BG Appointees,” The New American, March 22, 2021). It is the most world government (globalist) devoted administration in US history as measured by membership in the CFR, Bilderberg, and Trilateral Commission.
Donald Trump only had seven such members making him the least world government influenced president in 100 years. Because Trump performed the miracle of the century—getting elect—defeating “shoe-in” globalist favorite Hillary Clinton, every globalist on the planet crawled out of the collectivist sewer to destroy him.
But the world government threat cannot end without identifying the center of the secret combination to take over the globe—the Council on Foreign Relations. Their 100 year dominance of both major political parties, Republican and Democrat, stems from their infiltration of both, the media, and more recently the Internet (“Who Ran America Before Donald Trump,” LibertyUnderFire.com).
The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) headquartered in New York city acknowledges its level of influence as “the nearest thing we have to a ruling establishment in the United States.” John J. McCloy, chairman of the CFR from 1953 to 1970 noted how his organization filled the positions of power in both parties with CFR members. “Whenever we needed a man we thumbed through the roll of the Council members and put through a call to New York.” Presumably McCloy filled the ranks of nine U.S. presidents in this manner.
That a similar process was in place when Barack Obama came to power in 2008 was verified by a October 6, 2008 WiikiLeaks email from CFR senior fellow Michael Froman to “Barack” providing him with a list of their selections “for senior level jobs in a potential Administration.” Not surprising ,“The cabinet list ended up being almost entirely on the money” (“Biden’s Non-diverse ‘Diversity’ Cabinet,” William F. Jasper, The New American). The same is almost certain for Biden as well.
Prior to Trump no one got to the top without their assistance. In 2020, through the most controversial presidential election in U.S. history, fraught with fraud foreign and domestic, the globalists have entrenched themselves once again with a man who loves the New World Order.

America in 2015, before the movement that brought Donald J. Trump to power, felt deceived and betrayed in virtually every election by what was called the establishment. No matter how they voted, or who they sent to Washington, the parties seemed more the same than different and little actually changed. Most felt something was wrong but few could articulate what that exactly was, but it was something. Some hidden force played a role.
For the first time in U.S. History the establishment was toxic to voters in the 2016 presidential election. It demonstrated itself most clearly in the Iowa Caucus when non-establishment Republican candidates totaled 68% of the vote (Ted Cruz 28%, Donald Trump 24%, Ben Carson 9%, Rand Paul 5% and Carli Fiorina 2%). Establishment candidate Jeb Bush spent more money than the others combined but could never get traction. Fifty percent of Democrats flocked to Bernie Sanders from long-term establishment candidate Hillary Clinton. Both parties were rejecting the Establishment.
So what is the establishment? It is the moneyed elite capable of supplying candidates the millions of dollars they need to win elections. They exist in both major political parties, own the major media outlets, and the Internet as well. Therefore their influence over presidential candidates for over a hundred years is never really covered by their presses, thus they remain largely unknown to the public, but all candidates know of their influence and power. Before Trump no candidate for president got to office without their approval. Their influence brings to the top of each party a candidate acceptable to them and they allow voters to pick which of THEIR people, Democrat or Republican, they wish to lead. They never lose an election. The public face of this mostly secret combination is the Council on Foreign Relations which since 2016 has come to be known as the Deep State—the shadow government. It is the nation’s major proponent of The New World Order.
All presidents from Herbert Hoover on until Trump have either been members of, or had a close relationship with, the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City (CFR). This is the semi-secret establishment. When a president is not a member himself, his vice president almost always is. The then president Barack Obama, although supported by the CFR, wasn’t on their published membership list, but he and Joe Biden were noted globalists. Since the late 1920’s virtually all of our secretaries of state, United Nations ambassadors, and ambassadors to Russia and China have been members of this Wall Street special interest group. Moreover, CFR members largely filled the majority of presidential cabinets.
No special interest group, the last 100 years, has had more impact than the CFR over foreign policy leading many to question if we had but one political party in the United States with two arms. Indeed, until 2017 many saw no significant difference in foreign policy between George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Nor was there between George Bush and Bill Clinton. The CFR supported Barack Obama, probably the most anti-war candidate in a couple of decades, and so condemnatory of his predecessor in this area, but as president not only continued the Bush wars but added Libya and central Africa to the list while sponsoring drone killings (acts of war) in Pakistan, Syria, and Somali. History will view him as having been pro-war.
Until 2017 there existed little difference in foreign policy between parties. Neither had an America first foreign policy. Both got their advisors from the same Wall Street special interest group the CFR. Both supported extensive foreign aid, policing the world with over 900 military bases in other lands, and continual wars without declaration or pre-established end. They supported international trade agreements that mostly benefited their wealthy members and exported jobs formerly held by Americans. All, excepting Ronald Reagan, enhanced the power of the United Nations.. Both parties placated China on virtually every issue. The term “establishment” came to represent this sameness.
On domestic policy both parties supported the bank bailouts and their management of the money supply through the bankers private Federal Reserve Bank. Neither talked about returning a third of the United States (sometimes called government land) to the states from which it was taken. Neither problem solved with the Constitution as first consideration or followed it as written. Neither valued limited government or federalism. Both supported problem solving on the federal or international level rather than the state level.
Notable political scientist Lester Milbraith observed in his work Domestic Sources of Foreign Policy, p. 247, that “the influence of the CFR throughout government is so pervasive that it is difficult to distinguish the CFR from government programs.” Prominent political scientist Thomas R. Dye in his textbook Who’s Running America? The Bush Restoration, p. 188, wrote, “The history of CFR policy accomplishments is dazzling,” then traced in detail their dominating role in foreign policy accomplishment from the 1920’s through the George Bush Administration from their own boasts of success in Council on Foreign Relations Annual Reports.
What is wrong with this mostly “secret society?” In 1954, The Reece Congressional Committee noted that its productions “are not objective but are directed overwhelmingly at promoting the globalism concept”—world government How powerful was it by the time Congress first discovered its influence? It had come, they wrote, “to be in essence an agency of the United States government, no doubt carrying its internationalist bias with it” (Pp. 176-177).
Who ran America before Donald Trump?—The Council on Foreign Relations. The movement against the establishment preceded Trump but they welcomed his America First policies and he, for four years, stopped the globalists drive for a New World Order. Patriots loved him but every globalist slithered out of the pit of Hell to destroy him and the patriot movement that preceded him.

To my white Democrat friends and in sincere kindness I must ask. Why do you belong to a party that defines you as racist and thus society’s enemy? Even more amazing, why are most of those defining you as racist because you are white, also white, as for example Joe Biden. If race is systemic isn’t he also racist because he is white? There is some evidence for this, over his nearly fifty year political career he has certainly made many racists statements and supported racist policies like forced busing. Kamala Harris exposed this in the 2020 presidential primary debate. Both Biden and Hillary Clinton characterized KKK clansman Senator Robert Byrd as their emulating model.
Most of the anchors that talk of systemic white racism are also white. So again I ask, why do you belong to a party that defines you as societies leading enemy which can only be eradicated by mostly white politicians mandating, and white teachers teaching, critical race theory which teaches racism? Are you racist? Of course not, so why do you not speak out against them and cease voting for and funding them?
As Senator Tim Scott, himself black, said in his rebuttal to Joe Biden’s first state of the Union Address, “America is not a racist country.” So a white man, who has never experience racism, says that we are a racist country and a black man, who has experienced racism, says that as a country we are not. He might have added, if so Barack Obama would not have served two elected terms as president and today Kamala Harris would not be Biden’s Vice President. In America race baiting to perpetuate racism is a vastly bigger problem than actual racism. Blacks are only 13% of the population. You do not get to the White House without the white vote.
If the majority were racists slavery might still exist in the South because the white “racist” Northerners would have believed the “negro to be already in his place.” Remember it was almost entirely the whites of the north, 360,222 of them, that gave their lives to free the slaves and thousands more lost limbs. It was whites that established and maintained the Underground Railroad at considerable risk to themselves and it was white author Harriet Beecher Stowe in her novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin, who brought attention to the moral issue of slavery. And it was the whites that ended any possibility of the return to slavery in the South by the 13th Amendment to the Constitution ending it, the 14th extending to them due process and equal protection of the laws, and the 15th the right to vote—all opposed at the time by the Democrat Party. Today blacks have the same rights as any other race, no less nor more, because whites recognized injustice and worked to end it.
Notice also that Antifa members who incite violence on the street supposedly for black causes are overwhelmingly white as are the journalists who promote this lie. Antifa certainly makes no effort to be inclusive or divers, therefore they too must be racist. Those attending Black Lives Matter marches are at least half white. But BLM never talk about, or publicly oppose, black on black crime all around them, as in Chicago where a person is shot every two hours,—only the rare instances of white police “violence” on black “victims.”
Yet another crazy oxymoron to consider; if all whites are systemically racist (it is in their genes) and most blacks in todays society have some proportion of white blood in them, aren’t they in that proportion also systemically racist? In other words, Barack Obama whose mother was white, and he therefore half white, thus half systemically racist? So his followers should hate, and he also, the half of him that is white. Absurd. Systemic racism does not exist, if present it sadly was learned, but one has to look for it.
Noticing racism everywhere, isn’t that racist? Since the Democrats are the ones that believe everyone else, excepting themselves, is racist and since they believe whites especially genetically so, isn’t this the very definition of racism? And if racism is everywhere, why isn’t it widely known and acclaimed outside their political party and media? As they define and apply racism the Democrat Party is the party of racism?
If most Democrats are white and therefore the enemy, who are they the enemy to? Themselves? There may be something to the old adage, “The enemy is us.” Chicago’s Democrat Mayor Lori Lightfoot recently announced that she would permit interviews to only black or brown journalists. Even the white journalists pushing the critical race theory nonsense are now excluded from interviews with the mayor on the basis of their skin color. There exist nothing more racist than this. Years ago I observed that those who saw racism in everything were themselves the most racist. The Democrat Party seems intent on purging the stain of whiteness from itself. So why do any whites remain members?
Unless the Democrat Party turns from such absurdities the day will come when no-one will admit once having been a Democrat. They will destroy their own party. But it is even worse than this, they are promoting violence on the basis of race and therefore are race baiting.
Most Americans already know this racial propaganda to be untrue. But it is also very dangerous. If blacks succumb to this Democrat lie and come to believe that armed resistance against the white systemic race is necessary for their survival, or to make things right, who do you think will win? Certainly not 13% of the population; the democratic left and Party are promoting racial violence. That this violence, so long promoted by the left, is still rare, not universal nor common, itself attests that America is not a racist country.

What follows is an open letter to America warning that “our nation is in deep peril,” signed by 317 retired generals and admirals. How serious, “We are in a fight for our survival as a Constitutional Republic like no other time since our founding in 1776.” Who are the combatants? “The conflict is between supporters of Socialism and Marxism vs. supporters of Constitutional freedom and liberty,” each defining the other as domestic terrorists. In this war of information this message will be censored or undermined by the largely socialist press thus not available to most Americans.
Senior military leaders are in consensus that the 2020 election was the most important election since our country was founded. “With the Democrat Party welcoming Socialists and Marxists, our historic way of life is at stake.” The letter follows:
“Without fair and honest elections that accurately reflect the ‘will of the people’ our Constitutional Republic is lost. Election integrity demands insuring there is one legal vote cast and counted per citizen. Legal votes are identified by State Legislature’s approved controls using government IDs, verified signatures, etc. Today, many are calling such commonsense controls ‘racist’.… Using racial terms to suppress proof of eligibility is itself a tyrannical intimidation tactic…The FBI and Supreme Court must act swiftly when election irregularities are surfaced and not ignore them as was done in 2020. Finally, H.R.1 & S.1, (if passed), would destroy election fairness and allow Democrats to forever remain in power violating our Constitution and ending our Representative Republic….
“The Current Administration has launched a full-blown assault on our Constitutional rights in a dictatorial manner, bypassing the Congress, with more than 50 Executive Orders quickly signed, many reversing the previous Administration’s effective policies and regulations. Moreover, population control actions such as excessive lockdowns, school and business closures, and most alarming, censorship of written and verbal expression are all direct assaults on our fundamental Rights. We must support and hold accountable politicians who will act to counter Socialism, Marxism and Progressivism, support our Constitutional Republic, and insist on fiscally responsible governing….”
The military identified eight actions that must change very soon to preserve liberty.
“•Open borders jeopardize national security by increasing human trafficking, drug cartels, terrorist sentry, health/CV19 dangers, and humanitarian crises. Illegals are flooding our Country bringing high economic costs, crime, lowering wages, and illegal voting in some states. We must reestablish border controls and continue building the wall while supporting our dedicated border control personnel. Sovereign nations must have controlled borders.
“•China is the greatest external threat to America. Establishing cooperative relations with the Chinese Communist Party emboldens them to continue progress toward world domination, militarily, economically, politically and technologically….
“•The free flow of information is critical to the security of our Republic, as illustrated by freedom of speech and the press being in the 1st Amendment of our Constitution. Censoring speech and expression, distorting speech, spreading disinformation by government officials, private entities, and the media is a method to suppress the free flow of information, a tyrannical technique used in closed societies. We must counter this on all fronts beginning with removing Section 230 protection from big tech.
“•Re-engaging in the flawed Iran Nuclear Deal would result in Iran acquiring nuclear weapons along with the means to deliver them, thereby upsetting Mideast peace initiatives and aiding a terrorist nation whose slogans and goals include ‘death to America’ and ‘death to Israel’….
“•Stopping the Keystone Pipeline eliminates our recently established energy independence and causes us to be energy dependent on nations not friendly to us, while eliminating valuable US jobs. We must open the Keystone Pipeline and regain our energy independence for national security and economic reasons.
“•Using the U.S. military as political pawns with thousands of troops deployed around the U.S. Capitol Building, patrolling fences guarding against a non-existent threat, along with forcing Politically Correct policies like the divisive critical race theory into the military at the expense of the War Fighting Mission, seriously degrades readiness to fight and win our Nation’s wars, creating a major national security issue….
“•The “Rule of Law” is fundamental to our Republic and security. Anarchy as seen in certain cities cannot be tolerated. We must support our law enforcement personnel and insist that DAs, our courts, and the DOJ enforce the law equally, fairly, and consistently toward all.
“•The mental and physical condition of the Commander in Chief cannot be ignored. He must be able to quickly make accurate national security decisions involving life and limb anywhere, day or night. Recent Democrat leadership’s inquiries about nuclear code procedures sends a dangerous national security signal to nuclear armed adversaries, raising the question about who is in charge….
“Under a Democrat Congress and the Current Administration, our Country has taken a hard left turn toward Socialism and a Marxist form of tyrannical government which must be countered now by electing congressional and presidential candidates who will always act to defend our Constitutional Republic. The survival of our Nation and its cherished freedoms, liberty, and historic values are at stake….”
The reason the military express such strong feelings on this subject is because they died on foreign soil defeating Socialist and Communists and are now forced to oppose them again on their own soil—America.
