Principles cost. Lack of principles costs more.

The United States exists as a republic of sovereign states operated currently as a so-called 2-party democratic system. Actually, the 2 parties are so similar as to mesmerize us with shiny nonsense time and time again. Some conservatives rise to the level of adherence to the US Constitution, but many also follow the great allure of ever-bigger government - as do almost all liberals. The tool we have to severely limit the federal government is the Constitution. We must use it.

"War on Drugs" means publishing a daily "body count" on drug dealers and border crossings for tax payers as responsible citizens to keep score and hold both D&R politicians, the CIA, DIA, NSA, and Special Opps corporate executives accountable. We should spend the same military power on the "War of Drugs", "child trafficking, and organ harvesting" in America; as we spend on military equipment and manpower in the Ukraine. Where are the tanks, drones, and helicopters to defend our nation from this drug invasion?

When it comes to the brightest and most articulate among us, Dr. Jordan Peterson fairly represents Canada, in my opinion. Victor Davis Hanson stands for the US. The similarities our two embattled countries face are eery. Simply think "Canada" with every mention of "America." "If someone wished to destroy America, could he do anything more catastrophic than what we currently see and hear each day? What would an existential enemy do that we have not already done to ourselves? Here are eleven now familiar steps to civilizational destruction: 1) Wipe out a 2,000 mile border. Allow 10-million foreign nationals to enter unlawfully. Have no audit of any; nullify all federal immigration laws. Let toxic drugs in that kill 100,000 Americans a year. Give free support for those millions who broke the law. Smear any objectors as racists and xenophobes. 2) Run up the national debt. 3). Appease or subsidize enemies like Iran and China. Demonize allies like Israel. See Islam as either similar or superior to Christianity. Recede to second-tier international status, befitting American decline. 4) In a multiracial democracy, redefine identity only as one’s tribal affiliation. Ensure each identity group rivals the other for victimhood and the state spoils it confers. Redefine all political issues by race and sex oppressors and oppressed. Destroy all meritocratic standards of admission, retention, promotion, and commendation. 5) Redefine violent crime as understandable, cry-of-the-heart expressions of social justice. Ensure no bail and same-day release for arrested, repeat violent felons. Empathize with the violent killer and rapist; ignore their victims, especially if slain police-officers. 6). Emasculate the military by using non-meritocratic standards of race, gender, and sexual orientation to determine promotion and commendation. Cut the defense budget. 7) Reinvent the justice system to indict, bankrupt, convict, jail and eliminate political opponents. 8) Encourage the fusion of the bureaucratic state with the electric media to form a powerful force for political audit, surveillance, censorship, and coercion. 9.) Make war on affordable gasoline and natural gas. Substitute inefficient, unreliable, and expensive wind and solar power, even as energy prices bankrupt the middle class. 10.) Marry late, but preferably not at all. Consider males toxic, especially boys. Have no children, or as few as possible. Otherwise, assure children they are entitled, and must be sheltered. Raise them to have grievances against past generations and current norms. 11.) Turn world-class universities into indoctrination centers. Train youth to graduate despising their own culture and civilization. Replace the curriculum with propaganda. Ban the SAT/ACT and do not evaluate high school GPAs.

Wage Peace What would our world look like if we dedicated the time, money, and resources we spend on war to waging peace, instead? Nonviolence means that we oppose war and militarism. We strive to redirect the wasteful, destructive spending on weapons and military contractors to programs that reduce poverty, raise human dignity, protect the Earth, build peace, and advance social justice both domestically and abroad. We support efforts to resolve disputes peacefully, and justly. We train in the uses of nonviolence and nonviolent solutions as an alternative to addressing conflicts with violence and war. We actively fund and participate in peacebuilding efforts. From unarmed peacekeeping to peacebuilding, there are hundreds of practices for resolving conflicts without violence and warfare. In the last few decades, nonviolent revolution has replaced numerous civil wars and won independence without firing a shot. It’s also twice as effective as violent means. Imagine a world where entire nations trained in nonviolent struggle, drilling in how to organize a boycott, strike, or blockade. Some nations, like Lithuania, have even crafted plans of civilian-based defense built on nonviolent resistance. Peace is not merely the absence of war. It is the presence of all the practices and policies that help humanity deal with conflict in just and fair ways. Nonviolence means that we use them. #peaceforall #prideofsheba #campaign #nonviolence #action

It's no secret that the House of Representatives has been looking a bit dysfunctional as of late. It's starting to resemble a dysfunctional family, with the weird uncle stirring up the pot being the Greenpeace faction. This faction seems to oppose nearly every bill that dares to exist, essentially grinding all legislative proceedings to a halt. The need for aid to Ukraine, bulwark assistance for Israel and Taiwan, defense reform, entitlement reform, and more are all pressing issues that need to be addressed. However, instead of progress, all we're hearing from the House are a series of steady shrieks. But fear not, my friends! There might be a glimmer of hope on the horizon. Thanks to the power of discharge petitions, we could start seeing some action very soon. A discharge petition, which requires 218 signatures, has the power to force debates on critical issues and give bills a fighting chance at being passed. This means that even if the Speaker would rather the bill not see the light of day, it could still have a chance to be discussed and potentially passed into law. It's time for our leaders to put aside their differences and come together to address these crucial issues. The American people are counting on them to set aside their differences and work towards solutions that benefit everyone. As we look towards the future, let's remember to stay hopeful and engaged in the political process. Our voices and actions can make a difference, and by staying informed and involved, we can help shape the future of our nation. Let's keep the conversation going and encourage our elected officials to work towards progress and unity. Together, we can help bring about positive change for our country. 🇺🇸 #UnitedWeStand #PoliticalProgress #DischargePetitionPower #BipartisanAction #AmericanUnity #congress #military #politics #budget2024

The UK, and the rest of the colonizing powers, occupied many countries, stole their resources, installed proxy brutal dictatorships to ensure continuous supply of resources. When the citizens of the colonies migrated to the UK, Europe, USA, etc. to start better lives, they were subjected to racism and fascism:https://lnkd.in/dmgJJZtp. Solution: take your proxy governments and leave.

Ever had that gut-wrenching feeling of leaving money on the table? 😫 If you’re in the government contracting business, you know that feeling all too well. And if you’ve seen the movie War Dogs, you’ve witnessed the cinematic representation of that very scenario. Now, while most of us might not be dealing in arms deals, the lesson is universal for all government contractors. Knowledge is power, and in the world of bidding, knowledge of your competitor’s pricing is golden. 👇🏽 🔗 https://ow.ly/UbHl50R5LyV https://ow.ly/oMzE50R5LyS #WarDogs #GovConTips #GovernmentContracting #FederalContracting
