The year 2023 is almost over.  The parties are being planned and invitations being delivered to guests to help celebrate this event.  Fireworks will erupt, lighting up the sky with loud noises echoing through the night.  Wine will be consumed and the traditional midnight kiss will rule the festivities. People will excitedly make and share their New Year Resolutions, then break or forget them.

This time of the year gives us an opportunity to dispose of the old, and replace it with fresh, new thoughts and actions.  Instead of replacing all these ways why not sit back and contemplate just making alterations to the mindset we have been living with?  Mr. Biden comes into office and blunders us embarrassingly out of Afghanistan only to get us neck deep in two more conflicts.  Republicans have control of the House of Representatives but don’t know what to do with it.  We have a border crisis, inflation, wars, government corruption yet they would rather fight amongst themselves than attack real issues.

There was a time we had two political parties that fought to see who could best govern this nation.  Now we have two political parties that care very little if anything about our country but want only power and wealth for themselves.  I no longer call myself a Democrat or Republican rather I want to be known simply as a Constitutional Conservative.  I will never give one cent to the RNC as long as Ronna McDaniel is associated with the same.

We need to get out with the old and in with the new.  We need to rid government of every elected official that has served six years or more and bring in the new.  We need to review every government agency and employee and get rid of the waste, out with the old and in with the new.  Set a date, I don’t care what date, and if you are not a citizen of this country, get out.  You have six months to make your departure, but plan it and go.  If you have not been a legal citizen of this country ten years or longer you are entitled to absolutely no government aid.  There is no free medical care, no food stamps, no free phones, and no free transport to cities of your choice.

It is the end of the year.  It is a time for renewal.  Get rid of the old and usher in the new.  I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  Take time to reflect on the good we have and thank God for providing our needs.  There is always something to be thankful for.  I’m thankful for all of you.

Life remains tough, but it’s even tougher when you’re stupid.  Educate yourself on what’s happening in our world.
