The thoughts and ideas expressed below are exclusively those of Jack Straley and www.justplaintalkwithjack.com  We may agree, and that’s fine, or we may disagree, that’s okay too.  My sole purpose is to encourage others to think, study, and become involved. Exercise your freedom and above all, when presented the opportunity, please vote.

Our government is in a mess.  Pure and simple it is a mess and the only way we can survive as a free nation is through complete overhaul.  The deep state is larger than anyone can imagine and is partnered with a totally corrupt congress.  Democrats, Republicans and independents are all in alignment with their destructive unrealistic spending ways.  This group of elected individuals act as though there is no day of reckoning coming, but there is, and it’s drawing nigh.

Believe it or not, there are times I may be wrong. Not often, but it does happen.  I have been guilty of sitting back criticizing the influx of people from other nations.  It seems a disproportionate amount of these people start complaining about our government and nation after seeking refuge here.  Many continue to become involved in politics much to my chagrin.  I now realize I may be seeing this all wrong.  Maybe we need to open up and be receptive to their new ideas.  I recently visited with one such individual and he stated he doesn’t want to ruin America or change it into what he left.  He wants to make it better and avoid becoming another hole similar to what he left.

Repression is a word that comes to mind.  The overwhelming majority of the people we have elected have never lived under a repressive regime or in a state of poverty or near poverty.  Without having experienced these conditions they have no realization of what life is like when being repressed.  They think only of the power they can amass at this time.  The more power they attain, the more repressed the populace becomes.  Having never been repressed themselves, they think they can create utopia.

The only elected official that is limited in the time he or she may serve is the one person that can accomplish the most through dealing with other nations, the President.  All others appear to have life appointments, if they desire and continue to run for reelection.  The only way to save America is through radical reorganization and returning to the Constitutional Rule and a Constitutional Republic.

Our entire government needs to be revamped.  There is not one department or agency that should be immune to downsizing.  Every department is filled with lazy lifetime employees that have learned they cannot be terminated and how to do the minimum amount of work.  At the same time these agencies need to be separated from Washington DC and relocated to other areas across the country, while being downsized to manageable, efficient size.

Term limits and staff sizes should be implemented immediately.  As long as there are no limits to time being served, no changes will come about.  Without having lived under a repressive state the ideals they push look appealing.  Remove the colorful covering and reveal the truth to find out different.  Daily we are becoming a repressed state led by the Democrats and encouraged by the weak, waffling Republicans and Independents.  Complete change of leadership is mandatory.  Our IRS does not need to be an armed force.  The FBI, CIA and DOJ must be separated from politics and be completely independent.  Our rights, granted by the Constitution must remain intact and never be weakened or violated.  Once voided they will never be restored.

If we are repressed we lose all hope of thinking for ourselves because we are controlled by the few.  Repression destroys free thinking and independent actions.  Repression will make us a third world country before we realize what is happening to us.

It is not yet time to panic, when we act in a state of panic we usually make mistakes.  It is time to have faith.  As long as we have faith we can have hope.  Hope can empower our actions and we can win.  God bless America and all true patriots.
