I wake up this morning with my fog shrouded mind racing in endless circles.  I am confused as I begin to regain my senses.  I don’t seem to be alone, I am surrounded by others, and we all wonder just where we are. I continue to become more aware and wonder what the time is, what is the date and year I am now in.  This doesn’t seem to be the place or time I last remember, before I went to sleep.  I had enjoyed a lifetime of peace, liberty and security in the past but today there was an uneasiness that none of that existed.  Where are we, and what has happened to our world?

I see images of mobs standing in front of our elite universities chanting “Death to America” and “Israel Must Die.”  These mobs consist of people from well-funded families that have been exposed to prestigious educations at some of the so called best schools in the country.  Unfortunately they have not been educated with truth and facts.  They have been indoctrinated by radicals preaching hate, socialism and the evil perpetrated by the United States of America.  They realize not their actions are only tolerated in the country they oppose.  If these activities were taking place in Gaza or Iran, they would be jailed and probably executed.  The LGBTQ voice praises Islam and Sharia Law which would not tolerate any of this rebellion and would definitely cause immediate death to the zealots condemning America.

It is my opinion this situation could immediately be lessened if not stopped all together.  Stop letting the inmates run the institution.  Any university employing radical professors wielding influence over these moldable minds of mush should be directed to eliminate their chairs and stop the brainwashing.  These educators would be prohibited from holding similar positions of influence at any educational facility for the balance of their lives.  Any student identified as participating in these protests should be immediately, without possibility of appeal, be expelled from the institution and re-enrollment at a later time denied while forfeiting any credits accrued.  If their hate for America is so strong they should be denied any scholarships or financial aid in the future.  Only then might these people realize there is a difference in education and indoctrination.

Remember, these are the same students that want you and me to pay their student debts.  Sound reasoning isn’t it.

The second most covered issue facing our nation today is the crisis at the southern border.  No immigrant should be allowed entry into the United States of America, period.  Enter legally, or stay away.  Not one penny of American money should be spent aiding and abetting these criminals that seek illegal entry.  They should not be offered any free medical care, no financial aid, no free clothing or phones and limit food and water to one meal only.  The only freebie they should ever realize is a one way ticket back to whence they came.  This transport should be on un-air conditioned buses.  If immigrants continue to attempt entry they should be stopped at all measures.  If only a few were shot in the leg or in the shoulder, not to kill them, but to let them know they are not wanted, the balance would be immediately deterred.  They are perpetrating an act of war, they are invading our country.  To maintain our sovereignty we must stop them and the cartels that promote them.

Take notice, these are the people bringing in the fentanyl and perpetrating crimes in daylight, on the public streets, against innocent American citizens.  Makes you feel real safe doesn’t it.

This is where we are.  We are a nation that has become complacent.  We have no national leadership that cares.  It is time for our populace to wake up, take action and reclaim our nation.  I want to leave a free nation that recognizes God, the ballot box and individual liberty to my children and grandchildren.  I want to leave a country that the rest of the world will respect and endeavor to emulate.  I want to leave a country that exercises peace through strength.  I want to enjoy, in the future, a country that I lived in once before and pass it on to future generations.

The only way we can ever wake up in a free, peaceful world is to become active.  This is where we are now, but we can get to where we want to be.  We must all be willing to take risks, suffer consequences and enjoy the rewards of acting now.  We need the help of Deity.  The only tools we have that will work to our advantage is the power of sincere prayer and exercising our access to the ballot box.  I pledge to do both, will you join me.

Where are we?  We are not in a world any of us want, or should be willing to tolerate.  We cannot outlaw stupidity, but choosing to remain stupid is not an acceptable solution.
