Then I came to this story. It was chilling in a land that values the separation of Church and State, a concept so very basic in the "land of the free". And why the Catholic Church of all the denominations of accepted religions instead of these get rich quick holy rollers who claim you giving them your hard earned cash will somehow get you a spot on the express ride to Heaven? The only plausible answer, if you are government where only the state is worthy of worship is that you go after the big one first. As for me, I am a Catholic, born and raised that way, baptized into the Faith as an infant, confirmed as a Catholic, educated by nuns in a Catholic school until moved out of the big city into the burbs where the Catholic school was further than my mother cared to drive. But always I remained a practicing Catholic. Pushing on seven decades of it now. I am very proud to be a member of the Catholic Church. Do I agree with everything the Church stands for? Well I did until the Conclave of Cardinals selected a socialist to head the Church. My only way to make sense of their decision is that the evil spirit infected the conclave. It was unusual enough that Pope "retired unexpectedly". But in all that time I have never once seen, nor heard of, a Catholic terrorist. Not a one! Sure there are cult "churches", not Catholic, that do evil things and take evil actions but they have always been regarded as the "lunatic fringe" headed by megalomaniacs with mental disorders or controlled by Satin himself. Why not go after the charlatans sent by an evil source instead of the legitimate faith that predates our nation, by nearly two millennia! The mind reels at the motives and possibilities of this whole government idea. Are they trying to control the Gospel of the Church? Are they attempting to keep the faithful at home so as not to hear the word of the Lord? Could it be that they want to alter the word of God to suit their NWO? This story from Fox literally sent a chill down my spine and angered me greatly. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fbi-sought-develop-sources-catholic-churches-internal-documents-show?intcmp=tw_fnc

No chemistry, algebra, cursive writing cuz it's too hard. Learn the letter D to vote." And of course all those things are right on the mark. But while I was sitting on the edge of the bed lacing up my boots in the dark (always a challenge) it occurred to me that maybe the most important thing was left out. I'm not faulting her. This platform doesn't give users enough characters to work with in their meme maker. What was missing in between all those truths she posted was that schools have abandoned teaching history. Tough they may claim to teach something called "history" it's mostly just the 'Fractured Flickers' (remember that show?) of history as dictated by the wanna-be dictators. But history may well be the most important part of what students should be taught. It has so many lessons to deliver. First it teaches students of the battles of good versus evil. It teaches kids the important things to maintain a civilized world, why the United States was the greatest nation ever created. (Using the past tense was purely intentional.) From a more practical standpoint it teaches us what worked and what didn't. But the educators have also removed the entire notion of "critical thinking" by children who will be the future cadre of our nation's "leaders". History also it points out which of the historical figures were the frauds, the cheats, the future dictators. And it demonstrates the real life consequences of what takes place when dictators rule. We're talking the very long term here, pre-dating even the birth of Jesus Christ, ancient Egypt is but one example. What so-called "teachers" impart to their students today is nothing more than liberal propaganda drilled into their impressionable brains by this era's wanna-be dictators. That part of is more than bad enough on it's own, but it now goes far past that. While students are subjected to lies, drag queen classroom party, blatant lies about historical facts. In the end they "graduate" with no skills, no vision, no ethics and no notion of critical thinking. Not one single thing that serves as a warning light and nothing about what was proven to work in the past. This nation of ours is teetering on the brink. Forget the whole idea of the 'slippery slope'. We are standing on the edge of a crumbling cliff.

Thanks to the powers that be in these parts it was largely left out of the news feed. But then, there was this from a generally conservative news outlet the DC Enquirer, quoting the from the ever loony left network of CNBC who's opening salvo reads: __________________________________________________________________________________ "President Joe Biden very likely did not anticipate polling results like what emerged from a CNBC All-America Economic Survey released Monday. A majority of the American people, and even a majority of Democrats DO NOT want him to run for President again. Fifty-seven percent of Democrats say he shouldn’t stand for office in 2024 which is surprising but not necessarily fatal. However, the potential epitaph for Biden’s reelection is from the 66% of independents who do not want him to run either." __________________________________________________________________________________ None of this news should come as any surprise to anyone but Joe Biden himself, living in his own little imaginary world and all. Strategically speaking, it's a good strategy for the Dems. The NoMoJoe movement is best done very early on. But remember, it had to come after the recent midterms or it would have dragged down any candidate with a "D" preceding their name on a ballot. It also has to come very early in this window of opportunity that is less than two years from now since the midterm's ballots have been cast. There's two reasons for that. First they need to select a candidate. When I say "they" I'm referring to the people who actually run the party, the big bucks donors. The second being that they need to get the mutiny behind early enough to make it a faded memory as we grow closer to 2024. Why? Because the one commonality here is that, underneath all the hoopla and theatrics, it's the same ventriloquists (absent Sam Bankman-Fried who's kind of tied up for many moments to come) that selected Joe who will be picking their next talking dummy with all strings attached. So there you have it. The realm of big league politics and how the game (and voters) gets played. As for me, I'll stick with a candidate who beets his own drum for himself.
