I have returned from Phoenix and this part of my continuing education. Before sharing my new education I must clarify two statements I made in my last BLOG.  I stated the newly arrived illegal, non-citizen, criminals now in the United States were greeted with a gift of a check welcoming them and the check was for $10,000.  I misspoke.  They were issued prepaid debit cards with $5,000 in cash available for their spending pleasure.

To continue stressing the importance that the year 2024 is laying on our shoulders I will share some most amazing events and sights I have witnessed over the previous five weeks.  It is time for our nation to wake up.  If we have not already lost our country, we are on the brink of doing so.  No organization can survive or endure without solid leadership, such is our ship of state today.  We are giving our freedoms and liberties to undeserving criminals that we are allowing into our country and handing control over to them.

I believe in charity and assisting the less fortunate in all possible ways, at all possible times.  But, I retain the right to choose what charity or assistance I will give.  The privilege of making these decisions has evaporated from my control.  Our government, and its weak leaders, have taken this right and freely gives our money and assets to the illegal immigrants flooding our borders.  One recent evening in Phoenix, my wife and I were.returning from an afternoon at a health care facility when we saw a fast food drive thru restaurant.  Being ready for nourishment and while being in somewhat of a hurry we pulled into the drive thru lane.  Before placing our order we found ourselves surrounded by three Spanish males, on bicycles, circling our car.  Trying to wave the individuals away they were replaced by four men on foot that began closing in on our car.  They paced around peering into our windows.  Feeling unsafe we attempted to exit the lane we were in while avoiding any people outside.  As we tried to enter the street we found these same people on bicycles attempting to block us in.  We managed to get on the street and sped away.

As we continued to drive down the street we noticed almost every other bus stop had had the benches removed from the waiting areas.  Homeless and illegals had taken over these areas.  Once the benches were removed they became protected areas in which to set up camp.  They were now protected from the sun and all the heat.  Phoenix has an extensive freeway system and as such has many overpasses and bridges.  These locations are now temporary, I guess, encampments for these individuals.  It is men, women and children occupying the areas.  Tents are up, bedrolls are spread, and bar-be-que grills are smoking as meals are prepared.

During the five week period we were there we were initiated to the disregard for life many of these people have.  One event was the discovery of an unborn fetus lying on the sidewalk.  A few days later the bodies of two Spanish ancestry males were found in a dumpster.  Is this the way you want our country to be?  This is in Phoenix, Arizona, but it could be in your community if we allow the masses of these people to continue taking our country.  As a side note, most of the people are young adult and middle aged.  They are fit and look as they are capable young fighting people from all corners of the world.  They can unite anytime and make us rue the day we did nothing.

As the time of our stay drew longer, we needed to do laundry.  I had the chore of going to purchase detergent.  After entering my fourth store, a Walmart, looking for said detergent I began asking for help locating the laundry products.  I was informed it was right behind me.  Turning to look I thought I was standing in front of the cold food section.  All detergents are locked behind glass doors.  I asked for assistance and began asking questions as to why the products were secured in this manner.  I was informed that laundry products were a high value commodity for homeless and illegals. They would steel all they could and proceeded to go out and sell them for half price on the streets.

Phoenix, a once beautiful city with tall Palm Trees and manicured golf courses now resembles a third world country.  Don’t let this happen to your town, it’s on the way.  The time is now to get involved and stop the invasion.  Since the Federal Government is without leadership, I will support the state of Texas and their actions.  Must we have states that secede from the union, rebel against the authorities or take up arms?

Now is the time to stop the Democrats and their drive for a Totalitarian state.  Once they succeed, our freedom and sovereignty will be history.   What we see on the nightly news doesn’t    

begin to tell the story as it is.  One needs to see it in real time to see the destruction that is happening to our society.
