Simple math tells us that 2 > 1. I regret to inform you that evil is not always overcome by good. We have found this out the hard way and rationalize our situation in various and often erroneous ways.

Example:

Biden is more evil than Trump. And yet, Biden is the fraudulent pResident of the country. Does that mean that Trump is the lesser of two evils and therefore should be the better candidate? Should we put a value on the evilness of Trump and Biden like 6 billion > 10?

I do not vote because I will not participate in the selection or election of a government rooted in evil. The point here is that we spend too much time debating issues on which we have no control. Everyone knows the 2020 elections were fraudulent and therefore the results are invitiated. Are we evil because we do not stand up against evil?

There were some comments recently that any level of evil disqualifies the individual regardless of other positive traits or even if the accusations were valid. If that is how we measure evil, then we all are evil.

There are two things to consider:

1. If we are unable to defeat evil, we will lose. It is simple math that some people will not accept. Russia is greater than Ukraine, therefore Ukraine will be defeated. The flaw in this example is that Ukraine is more evil than Russia. The point to consider is that we are involved in this conflict to continue the expansion of US hegemony.
2. Are we required to fight evil? Yes. BUT we must pick our fights or evil will win. We did not stand up against evil and we (and the world) are paying a heavy price. If a small warlord in Somalia pillages a village, are we required personally to hold him accountable? If you answered yes, consider:

Trust but verify are wise words. Researching the truth in order to make sapient decisions should be a bedrock of our actions. Instead, we convict on half truths or the sins of the father:

The first question we should be asking is if it is a relevant issue. If we decide that it is, then ask if we can change it. We must fight evil and our apathy has made this evil omnipresent. What did Jesus tell us to do in times such as these:

If good always defeats evil, we would not need a sword to fight. Evaluate the evil that we must fight and decide how and if we can win the individual battle. The Lord will support righteous men despite the odds but we must want to win, properly arm ourselves and trust in the Lord. Our first step is to become righteous Men of God.

So let’s see…

1. The Supreme Court legally overturns Roe v. Wade.

2. The Biden Administration, in violation of the Hyde Amendment, issues orders that any member of the military who wants an abortion will get time off and travel expenses paid.

3. Mr. Tuberville Goes to Washington.

If we know that division is the other side’s major tactic to keep us from organizing, let’s recognize it and not fall victim to it. I have noticed an increase in the comments concerning negative or divisive tactics on this site. I posted an article concerning Elon Musk and the negative comments came. If you do not know his story, here is a snippet. While Musk is more like Tony Stark than John Galt, no one can question his determination and success without ulterior motives or jealousy.

The above is just one example. Here are some of the other favorite topics used to divide us:

1. Race
2. Religion
3. Orange Man bad
4. Standing down or standing down
5. Leadership
6. Ukraine
7. Voting
8. Communists
9. Political party
10. Aliens

While a healthy discussion based on facts is welcome, trolls, ignorance and division are not welcome. I can only tell you what is important to me:

1. If I cannot change it, I do not devote any time to it. I may publish information but that does not mean the information will be transformed into actionable intelligence in my life. Whether we live in the end times or not does not impact my life. What your personal beliefs (religion) are does impact my life if I must interact with you. Obviously 99.9999% of the population does not impact me at this time.
2. I know that bad times are here now and am preparing and training according to what I think will benefit the local community.
3. I do not care if we do not have a plan for government once evil is defeated. Righteous men can stand on the shoulders of our forefathers’ wisdom. And they relied on the Lord’s wisdom to guide them to build a righteous government. They warned us what would happen if we were not vigilant.
4. I do not care if we have no “leader”. I do care if we are dividing ourselves.
5. At the end of the day, I care about how my gardens are doing, if the infrastructure at the community center been improved and most importantly, did I follow the Lord’s path for me this day.
6. And yes, I know war is coming and it is a priority to build community, knowledge and a moral foundation.

1. Only you know what your path for the future is. If you are here to divide people, distribute false information in any form or just want to troll, I will call you out. If you want to build a better future for our children, become a better person and determine a course of action based on Sacred Honor with a firm reliance on Divine Providence, welcome.

The self-made billionaire CEO of Tesla and founder of SpaceX famously burns the midnight oil at his Tesla factory. Musk told “CBS This Morning” host Gayle King in April that he sometimes sleeps on a couch in a conference room at the Fremont, California factory as he tries to avoid any further delays and missed production targets for the Model 3 electric cars.

But Musk is no stranger to the office couch. In the ’90s, before he struck it rich as an entrepreneur, Musk had to sleep at the office because he couldn’t afford an apartment.

“When my brother and I were starting our first company, instead of getting an apartment, we just rented a small office and we slept on the couch,” Musk said in a 2014 commencement speech at the University of Southern California.

…

But before Musk and his brother could cash in on their first big venture, the bootstrapping brothers had to rough it by living in their small office.

“We showered at the YMCA and we were so hard-up that we only had one computer,” Musk said in 2014. “The website was up during the day and I was coding it at night, seven days a week, all the time.”

WordPress has a new feature: AI Assistant. Here is its review of the above information:

The content delimits the experiences of Elon Musk when he had to sleep at the office in the past due to financial constraints. It highlights his dedication and hard work in building his first company.

Here are a few suggestions to enhance the content:

– Add some specific examples or anecdotes to illustrate Musk’s commitment to his work.

– Provide more context on how these experiences shaped Musk’s entrepreneurial journey.

– Include quotes or testimonials from colleagues or employees who witnessed Musk’s dedication during that time.

Overall, the content provides a good overview of Musk’s early struggles, but adding more depth and personal insights would make it even more engaging.

Sounds like a rags to riches American Dream story to me.

hat happened to Elon Musk this past week showcases how completely unhinged and dangerous U.S. policy to Ukraine has become. The condemnation began when the Washington Post published excerpts from a new biography on Musk revealing that he turned down a Ukrainian request to help launch a major sneak attack in September 2022 on the Crimean port of Sevastopol. There were numerous, legitimate reasons why Musk refused to activate his Starlink internet services for Ukraine to carry out the unprecedented, surprise attack on Russian naval vessels: Musk was providing terminals to Ukraine for free; he was not on a military contract at that time; the late-night request came directly from the Ukrainian—not American—government; and Starlink had never been activated over Crimea because of U.S. sanctions on Russia. Most importantly, Musk was concerned that enabling the attack could result in serious “conflict escalation.” He worried that he was being asked to turn on Starlink for a “Pearl Harbor like attack” and had no wish to “proactively take part in a major act of war,” possibly provoking a Russian nuclear response.

In response to this nuclear aversion, Musk was called “evil” by a high-level Ukrainian official and “traitor” by American war enthusiasts. Rachel Maddow on the Russia conspiracy network MSNBC said Musk was “intervening to try to stop Ukraine from winning the war.” Not to be outdone, CNN‘s Jake Tapper described Elon as a “capricious billionaire” who “sabotaged a military operation by Ukraine, a U.S. ally,” an act that demands “repercussions.” For his part, chief Iraq war salesman-turned-Democrat-darling, David Frum, said that Musk must be stripped of his U.S. government contracts for not reflexively acceding to the Ukrainian Starlink request, and former “progressive,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren, called for an immediate Congressional investigation “to ensure foreign policy is conducted by the government and not by one billionaire.”

       Just as a janky investment can turn catastrophically ruinous in the finance world, “Joe Biden” has transmuted from an asset to a liability for the Party of Chaos as we enter the season when things get real. Just weeks ago, the phantasm in the White House could do nothing wrong, despite doing absolutely everything wrong in the thirty-two months he’s haunted the Oval Office. But now, an odor of rot and sulfur trails his every bumbling misstep while his maunderings from the podium set off alarms in party HQ. What to do, indeed…?

      As of five minutes ago, “JB” was still pretending to run for reelection, which, of course, was a bamboozle that only the Wokester rank-and-file, hoaxed into an epic psychotic rapture, might swallow. The “president’s” stage managers run a “campaign committee” on next-to-zero contributions, you see, but all it really does is send out millions of algo-concocted, drivel-filled emails five times a day to keep the big pretend going while the DC Blob desperately looks for a way out.

“How should law, morality, and religion interact in America today?” Andrew Forsyth asks in the concluding paragraphs of Common Law and Natural Law in America. The placement of this question at the very end of the book is appropriate. Forsyth does not seek to directly answer the question. Instead, he turns our attention to the long history of American reflection on law, morality, and religion as it was organized by the categories of natural law and common law. Forsyth’s history—extensive in scope, yet impressively concise in telling—scrambles common contemporary ways of thinking about and with the categories of natural law and common law. And as the reader’s perception of these ideas is reframed by this history, the question of how law, morality, and religion should relate is sure to be provoked anew. The contributions of the panelists witness to the way Forsyth’s book allows us to think better about this question today.

Natural law and common law, Forsyth tells us, are today seen as completely distinct and even unrelated ideas. The common law is often called “judge-made law.” Natural law, by contrast, is taken to be the timeless and universal moral law founded on nature, reason, or the will of God. What Forsyth offers is something quite different: the story of “a centuries-long stream of American legal thought [that] presupposed—sometimes tacitly, sometimes explicitly—that natural law and common law are intertwined,” a story in which one sees clearly that natural law “undergirded the development of American jurisprudence”.

I never thought about how the rest of the world views the overthrow of our Republic. While the media provides cover (and propaganda) concerning treason, the truth is readily available. Unfortunately, courage and honor are in short supply in this country. I want to believe justice is coming and it will be swift. I like the concept of Committees of Safety organizing tribunals to determine justice. I am not advocating vigilante justice. I am advocating fair trials and swift accountability for convicted traitors.

But I am open to other suggestions on how to restore justice in this country. And restore borders. And punish criminals. And hold doctors accountable for medical malfaisance sacrificing life for profits. Seriously, until justice is restored, there is no hope for any future because the criminals will still be in power without any consequences.

UAW Quote:

Standing on the picket line was Virginia Williams, a retired Wayne assembly worker. The 65-year-old worked as a laborer for 28 years and is now chair pro tem of the Romulus City Council. Williams retired 10 years ago, but has three children and a grandson working at Ford.

“We can’t have workers making cars they can’t afford to buy,” she said. “It makes them feel angry.”

What are UAW’s other demands?

The four-day workweek is just one part of the UAW’s demands for the Big Three – Ford, General Motors and Stellantis, formerly Fiat Chrysler. The union also wants big pay raises – which Fain says the Big Three can afford, since their CEOs saw a 40% pay increase on average in the last four years. They also want more paid time off and a benefit pension, among other things. 

They also want to restore COLA – cost of living adjustments – that ensure the working class receives the benefits needed to survive in the current economy. COLA is used by the Social Security Administration, which increased benefits for 70 million people by 8.7 percent in 2023.

Credit card and car loan delinquencies pass pre-Covid levels as consumers get squeezed

The rate of new auto loan delinquencies is also on the rise, hitting 7.3% in the second quarter, compared with 6.9% in the first quarter. That’s also above pre-Covid levels.

I was considering buying a new car last year but there was no supply. That is fine since I doubt I would pay $45,000 (and up) for a car. Plus 7% tax for the all intrusive state. I did get a letter from the local Ford dealership telling me that they would pay me over blue book value for my 2014 F150.

I understand that inflation has purposefully killed the American Dream. I also understand that not many people can afford to buy a new car (or even a used car). I believe that is the point: the government wants all gas powered transportation to be eliminated. Unrestricted transportation is a measure of freedom. It also is a natural law right. Fifteen minute Democrat arbitoir cities are nothing more than concentration camps (if you survive).

Think about the elimination of the auto industry, petroleum industry and tourism on what is left of the American economy. It is very telling that the “list of demands” from the UAW changes depending on the source.

The majority of my life was dedicated to starting and running a small business. No pension, 401K, unemployment benefits or even 50 hour weeks for me. Going Galt was the epitome of the measure of my success. I define success differently than most people: food on the table, no debt and a firm reliance on Divine Providence.

As for the auto workers’ demands: people cannot buy cars and trucks at current prices. I must admit it is fun to watch Democrat led union workers shoot themselves in the foot. I suspect this “strike” will be long since most working patriots are suffering worse economic conditions than these autoworkers. Then again, no one seems to care about the actors’ and writers’ strike. Another sector of the economy that has no clue about the people who made this country great.
