We CAN Be Thankful During the Democrat Doomsday

By Blackjack Pershing @Blakjakpershing on GETTR  
     Thanksgiving 2021
Orwell said ‘In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act’, we patriots, we Americans, we Christians can paraphrase that by saying ‘In a time of extreme-criminality and ingratitude, being thankful is also a revolutionary act’.
And despite our challenges, which are many in the Bidenite era, we have reasons to be thankful.
Be thankful that we know.  We all know.  For the first time we all know the extent of the malfeasance of the Stalinist Left, the democrats and their willing trained poodles in the media.  We Know.  We all know what they did in 2020.  We are not forgetting either.
Be thankful for the man who continues to call out what others will not, who continues to state the uncomfortable obvious, who continues to point out the mendacity of the RINO’s, who continues to address the fraud from the last election: Donald Trump.
Be thankful that the same man changed the national dialogue on everything, most notably China.  Trump made it clear that China was the issue.  The threat.  The main thing.   The swampian losers didn’t get it.  Still don’t.  Many remain on the China payroll.
Be thankful that the Republican Party has become the place for the worker, the honest woman and man, the deplorables of all races and creeds.  Leave the scumbag elite, the criminal takers, the swamp –  to the democrats.
Be thankful that in Virginia we see the beginning of a turnaround with the election of Youngkin and his team.
Be thankful that reasonable people are paying attention to how bad it is.
Be thankful for ‘Lets Go Brandon’, the perfect response to this garbage Commander in Chief, a diapered dilapidated doofus.  #LGB is everywhere and its glorious.
Be thankful that the tech elites could not control themselves and went too far.  They exposed themselves.  We are fortunate that new platforms are now emerging to compete with these compromised platforms and will take them down competitively by offering options for free speech that do not exist in Zuckerberg/Dorsey/Bezos/Gates/Cook’s twisted world.
To that end be especially thankful for GETTR, thus far the best non-leftist option for social media.
Be thankful for the British media, still willing report the truth, such as the addled US President’s horrid anal explosion while speaking to the Duchess of Cornwall.  “It was long and loud and impossible to ignore!’ According to their source.  Dr Jill knows and we all know.
Be thankful the end of the democrat reign of terror is within sight, if we don’t screw it up.
Be thankful that the level of depravity of the US education system is being exposed and reasonable parents are starting to intervene.  We just may be able to right the ship if we don’t back off.
Be thankful that the installed stooge in the office of the presidency continues to crap himself, literally, on the world stage.  Just ask our leftist Pope who instead of a talk on abortion, had to get a mop and bucket and clean up aisle six after Brandon had a nuclear shart that required a change of bloomers.  For an encore he went to Scotland for public nap and a big aforementioned fart at the Prince’s battle-axe.  All of this proving what we already knew.
Be thankful that the thinking moral backbone of this country is now more aligned and connected than ever – across race and creed – and that we know we are more powerful than the Stalinists when we band together.
Be thankful that we can see with absolute clarity how devious, disgusting and deliberate the elitists are about screwing over hardworking Americans.  No guessing anymore.  They have a greek chorus in Hollywood and a legion of Goebbels’ Spawn in the media.  But we know.  We all know.
Be thankful that the FBI has exposed itself for the corrupt political Brown Shirt operation it is.  Sadly the FBI has corrupt DNA, having been run by a cross dressing lunatic for decades.  J Edgar would be proud of his creation no doubt, but would probably still think Comey is a prick regardless.  With exposure comes reform or a complete shutdown in the next Trump term.
Be thankful that California has started to implode.  It needs a complete meltdown to right itself.  Sadly, liberal nimcompoops will need to be attacked personally by roving bands of maniacs before they change – and maybe not even then.  In the end it may be the Latinos in CA that save the state, as they have faith and family orientation and generally switch to the Republican Party as they achieve success.
Be thankful that the Durham Investigation continues along slowly and methodically.  Just like Michael Meyers in the Halloween movies, he may be slow, but eventually he will catch the low down corrupt hacks who created the fake Russia Hoax.
Be thankful.  Change is coming.
Be thankful that God is Great, Christ is King, the truth always comes out, and that we still live in the greatest country in human history.  All of us must work to bring the ship back on course.
Please share your own thoughts around thankfulness below.
Happy Thanksgiving –
BJP

NUTS!!!

Missouri Territory            19 November 2020 

By @PershingSoldier on Twitter/Parler

Army General Anthony McAuliff –   the acting division commander of the 101st Airborne Division troops defending Bastogne, Belgium, during World War II’s Battle of the Bulge, famous for his single-word reply of “Nuts!” in response to a German surrender ultimatum.

I suppose it was destined to come to a moment like this.  The ultimate battle of our outsider President against the Swamp, the establishment and the growing octopus that the Stalinist Left has become.  He’s in a similar place the good General quoted above was in, encircled by a desperate evil force.

One man stands, almost alone, leveraging all of the tools and strength he has, against the nauseating malevolence of multiple corrupt institutions.

He is all we have, while we wait for the Senate to be settled.  A weakened Pelosi house is still dangerous enough.

The leftist cabal is well funded, aligned, highly organized and completely anti-liberty.  ‘Progressive-ism’ has replaced any type of normal religious faith for most of its adherents. 

Our President has sent his General McAuliff message post-election: “I WON BY ALLOT!!!”  He’s not conceding.  There will be no surrender.  He is re-grouping and assembling his most effective battle force.  Its taken some time.  MAGA world is loyal but frustrated.  The emerging facts are well covered by Sidney Powell, Giuliani and most recently Lin Wood.

American liberty stands at an historical precipice.  Lincoln’s short pre-civil war period as president comes to mind.  The insidious presidency of Woodrow Wilson looms as a warning, with its embrace of eugenics, covert racism and embrace of globalist ideals.   As Mark Levin has pointed out, leftist media is nothing new.  The ‘Party Press’ existed through much of the 19th century.  Their flirtation with professionalism was brief, mid 20th century.  In fact it’s debatable whether it ever happened.

Fellow patriots we are in a sobering place. 

“You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.  It’s not about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward.  That’s how winning is done!”

Rocky Balboa, from Rocky 6

We have a president who personifies this sentiment put forth by one of this author’s favorite fictional characters.  Donald Trump lives this sentiment vividly.  If there is ever evidence of someone showing up at exactly the right time in history, it may in fact, be him.  See ‘Is the Devine Hand Present’ on this website.

Can he pull it off?

“Do your damnedest in an ostentatious manner all the time.”

General George S Patton

Style matters little despite the MSM obsession with tweets and press conference ass chewings from President Trump.  (BTW – NY Gov Cuomo is 100 times more harsh and disrespectful with reporters and it goes unreported).  Many have observed similarities between General George Patton and Donald Trump.  Patton, a man of salty and colorful language, was sidelined for slapping a soldier that reported battle fatigue with no injuries.  The press brutalized him.  Eisenhower quietly redeployed him to command of an army him when it was time to win the war in Europe.  He delivered.  Trump like Patton is now down.  It will not be for long.    

The President’s two most valuable lieutenants are Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell.  Their ability to collect testimony of patriots and protect them in the process is critical.  We must hold on.

The Republican Party is still adrift with the disloyal, the self-interested, the unreliable and the stench of John McCain.  Slowly it seems to be coalescing in support of the President.  GOP Chairwoman Rona McDaniel gets credit for holding the line.  Unity is about to become critical in importance.

The Press has eagerly been resurrecting Fake Swamp Rules of late.  They include:

  1. Don’t exercise your constitutionally granted power; see the recent SCOTUS frackus which President Trump easily won
  2. You can’t fire anyone!  It’s the transition!!  Guess what, at 2 terminations and counting, POTUS gives no F’s about MSM misgivings about late term staff changes at the Whitehouse.
  3. You’re not President anymore!!!  It’s Biden!  Right now!!! This is the funniest.  The MSM is a complete clown show on this topic.  Not even worthy of analysis.  See Joy Ried and Stelter the Potato.

For all of us right now:

Beware Leftist/Stalinist Tools:

  • Fear
  • Covid
  • Masks
  • Lockdowns
  • Riots
  • Holiday elimination
  • Threats
  • Violence
  • Violent protest
  • Communist ideology
  • Free Stuff
  • Character Assassination
  • Social Media manipulation
  • Mass media manipulation
  • Disregard of the Constitution and Bill of Rights

Embrace Patriotic Conservative Tools:

  • Law
  • Courts
  • Freedom agenda
  • Benefits of work/jobs
  • Patriotism
  • Federalism
  • Innovation
  • Ingenuity
  • Private sector problem solving
  • Peaceful protests/assembly
  • Free speech
  • Legal ballots/one person one vote
  • Individualism
  • Winning
  • America First
  • Arm yourselves and protect your family

What must come next:

  • Patriots must infiltrate and take back our large institutions including all facets of education, government, social media, televised media, Hollywood and more.  We’ve avoided these and tended toward productive jobs in the private sector.  We’ve allowed ourselves to be undermined.  This must stop.
  • Support our President as he undertakes the greatest battle of his life.
  • BE HEARD: participate in websites like The 53rd Regiment.  Say what’s on your mind.  Loud mouth liberals never hold back.  They must be answered with confidence.  Their bad ideas, irrational outbursts and logical fallacies must be exposed and mocked.
  • Dump Fox News and switch to OAN, NewsMax or their websites.  Do not give Fox News ANY traffic.  Gutfeld, Tucker, Laura and the rest need to get up off their wealthy asses and do the right thing.  Leave.  They are not that good that they deserve slavish viewership.  That station helped undermine the election.  We saw it live.

That’s where we are RIGHT NOW, fellow patriots.  You know what to do.

December 23, 1776

THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

From The Crisis, by Thomas Paine

A New Normal

by Eagle 1

(Perspective from an iGen young American patriot)

America finds itself in arguably one of its more chaotic and troubling time periods since its existence. Recently, the COVID-19 virus is sweeping through the nation and toppling the once strong economy with it, while politicians cannot seem to agree on things as simple as a relief bill to help American citizens. On a grander scale, the past few years have reeked of consistent turmoil that some claim threatens American democracy as we know it. Americans seem to be clashing over things more than ever, while those elected to lead them have acted more like children fighting over a shiny, new action figure. Rather than solving problems, we seem to be insistent on creating more. And there’s a plethora of reasons for that, many which I couldn’t name or think of, which is in itself a problem. As a younger observer of the tire fire that our society has become, I sometimes ask myself, has America always been this way? Have we as a people always been so divided? 

Growing up, I read and heard about the way Americans came together through the tragic events on September 11, 2001. And it has always seemed that for a short time after 9/11, unity prevailed over disunity, compassion prevailed over cruelty, and hope prevailed over despair. Now our country faces another magnificent tragedy, and it seems to be quite the opposite. Divisiveness has swallowed camaraderie, misery has overtaken reassurance, and gloom has crushed exuberance. We the people have gotten in our own way.

The generic hope is that someday, we can return to the “normal.” I pray we never do. What we considered normal just a few months ago was far from it. It was constant fighting, constant criticizing, constant rooting for the failure of others. That is not the “normal” I want to return to. That’s why I hope we, as a country, can use recent circumstances as an opportunity to change the way we conduct ourselves. Let’s create a new, improved “normal.” A normal that cheers for the success of our country rather than party, a normal that applauds bipartisan accomplishments, a normal that doesn’t “cancel” people for a minor mistake they made in their past. A normal that sees people and politicians tie their allegiance to their beliefs rather than their party, a normal that sees people stick together in the best of times and the worst of times despite conflicting beliefs, and a normal that sees people resolve their differences through comprehensive discussion. 

My dad always preached the saying, “the true test of a man’s character is not how he responds when things are going well, but how he responds when things are not going well.” This can be applied to our country and those who inhabit it. After September 2001, we passed that test. Now, we are failing it. 

Let’s seize this opportunity to show that our character is full of perseverance and strength.

Jesus’ Seven Last Words to Us

On the hill at Calvary, from his crucifixion to the moment of his death, Jesus spoke seven different times. These “Seven Last Words,” as they are called, are rich in meaning for us. Here are a few points for meditation on Jesus’ suffering and death as we contemplate the various sufferings we experience in our own lives.

“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:24)

Jesus, as he is being crucified, forgives those who rejected him, sentenced him, tortured him and carried out his execution.

• Do I love even my enemies and bless my persecutors as Jesus instructed me?

• Do I pray that God will forgive those who reject me and hurt me?

• Am I able truly to forgive them within my heart?

“Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” (Luke 23:43)

Hanging on the cross, one of the thieves crucified with Jesus admits his guilt for his crime and recognizes Jesus’ innocence. He asks Jesus to remember him when he enters his Kingdom. Jesus promises him Paradise.

• Do I understand eternal life as the ultimate goal of my earthly life?

• Do I know that Christ is the one who shows us the way to eternal life, and so follow him and strive to keep his commandments through the teachings of his Church?

• Do I confess my sinfulness in the sacrament of penance, when it is available, so that he might absolve me of my sins? When penance is not available, do I regularly make an Act of Contrition?

“Woman, behold your son … Behold, your mother.” (John 19:26-27)

Seeing his mother and the apostle John at the foot of his cross, Jesus entrusts them to each other. Symbolically, he makes her our Blessed Mother, the mother of the Church.

• Do I turn to Mary, the mother of God, in prayer and see her as a model of virtue and obedience to God’s will?

• Do I understand that baptism, which makes me a child of God, unites me to all the faithful as one family of God?

• Do I strive to be a truly “faithful disciple” as modeled by the apostle John, “the one Jesus loved”?

“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Matt. 27:46, Mark 15:34)

Jesus, feeling every bit of human pain and suffering, cries out his sense of abandonment.

• Have I ever felt abandoned, as though God was absent or not hearing my prayers?

• Do I know in my heart, even in these times, that God is indeed with me and sustaining me through my suffering?

• As Jesus does on the cross, do I continue to turn to God during these trials of my life?

“I thirst.” (John 19:28)

As his final moments approach, Jesus asks for something to drink.

• Jesus’ thirst was another sign of his human need. Do I see Jesus in those around me who suffer hunger, thirst, homeless, sickness or other deprivations?

• Do I “hunger and thirst for righteousness,” as Jesus described in the Beatitudes?

• Do I perform works of mercy for those who suffer physically or spiritually?

“It is finished.” (John 19:30)

With his earthly mission accomplished, having sacrificed his very self for the sins of humanity, Jesus acknowledges the end is near.

• Do I stay focused on my true vocation — as a child of God and in the state of life to which God called me?

• Do I practice careful and humble discernment throughout my life so that I stay true to the sacred purpose that God has for my life?

• What unfinished business do I have ahead of me that I must accomplish as a faithful disciple of Christ before my time on earth comes to an end?

“Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit!” (Luke 23:46)

With his last breath, Jesus places himself completely in the hands of his loving Father.

• Do I keep myself in a state of grace, so that I am always prepared for the possibility of death?

• Do I avail myself of the sacraments of the Church and maintain a committed life of daily prayer so that I am ready to meet God?

• If I were to die today, right now, am I ready to commend my spirit to the hands of our heavenly Father?
