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.

What next?  Where is our country headed?  We appear to have entered the most violent political climate in the history of this great nation.  Conservatives and many Republicans are not entitled to have an opinion of their own, if it differs from Liberals and Far Left Democrats, and too often results in violence.  Wednesday, September 10, 2025 a conservative with opinions that were based on common sense was taken from us.  Mr. Kirk was a devout Christian, non-violent debater that encouraged opponents and those with differing thoughts to “Prove Him Wrong” in debate.  Mr. Kirk had a bright future in politics in the United States of America, unfortunately for us, he has entered the doors of that celestial palace in the heavens, his abode not built by man, where he is now able to reside in the presence of God.

The assassination of Mr. Kirk was caught on live television, and by many others recording the event.  It was not a scene that was easy to watch and I related the fragility of his life to the fragility of our Republic.  Our frustrations should be expressed at the ballot box.  However, when we have elected officials that call for violence and ignore law and order while calling the opposing party members Nazi’s and Fascists as well as the ever present racist, and other non-flattering names, what can we expect.

We the public know of two attempts to assassinate our president.  How many attempts have been made that we do not know about?  We have had school shootings perpetrated by transgender individuals.  These are political shootings as well as being conducted by mentally ill individuals.    As I have stated earlier these two groups should be combined into one larger group.  Any individual wishing to, and attempting to change a human body and sex has to be insane or mentally sick therefore, in my opinion, both groups are one and the same.  The solution is they must be institutionalized and given proper treatment.  These people do not have the right to deny the balance of the people their right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  What God has made, man should not try to change.

When will average Americans see JUSTICE?  Just as illegal immigrants that commit many of the hideous acts of violence we see so often, these liberals deny we the people, of seeing justice.  Our liberal judicial system, mainly appointed by Democrats, cries due process and equal justice.  When an individual enters this country illegally, they have no rights, they are criminals and true justice is their deportation.  Every act our President attempts to put in action, trying to better our nation, is blocked by these liberal, democrat judges.  We must rid our nation of these undesirables as rapidly as we can.  Sanctuary states and cities be damned.  Elected officials that throw up all these roadblocks should be prosecuted.  President has called for the death penalty to be used as punishment for the killer of Charlie Kirk, this is proper. Genesis chapter nine calls for the death penalty for anyone that kills another man.

Evil has existed all through history, causing turmoil and pain.  It continues today which reinforces the adage that a nation without God cannot succeed or endure.  Many of our issues could be solved by starting with a solid family unit.  We need families with two parents, of different sexes, that can teach and show by example the difference between right and wrong.  Our future generations are being cheated out of a peaceful future without needless violence.  We have a long hard road to travel.  We cannot travel this road alone, we must ask for, then accept, the guidance of the great architect of all things both great and small.

In parting, I hope you live each day to the fullest, we are not promised a tomorrow, and thank God for every day you have.
