Sanity Check on the Revolution"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>As another presidential election day approaches people are once again wondering if things can get better.\u00a0 Will Trump be disqualified from running?\u00a0 Will he win?\u00a0 If he wins, can he accomplish any of the radical reforms that are desperately needed?<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there\u2019s no agreement on what will happen.\u00a0 Opinions are all over the place.\u00a0 But it\u2019s my contention that nothing meaningful will happen until change begins to occur outside of Washington.\u00a0 Wahington is so corrupt and power is so diffused between the various branches and agencies of government that turning the ship of state is a glacial process.<\/p>\n<p>I think the change has to occur in state capitols and in private organizations.\u00a0 And a little of that has begun.\u00a0 I guess the clearest signs are in Florida where a Republican governor and legislature have begun to effect meaningful change in school and colleges.\u00a0 Or look in Texas where their Republican politicians have taken steps to confront illegal aliens flooding across their border.<\/p>\n<p>These are important steps; necessary steps.\u00a0 But they are not enough.\u00a0 The next step is for private organizations; for-profit and not-for-profit corporations to begin providing the choices that make up the alternative to the Woke Matrix that we\u2019re all embedded in.\u00a0 We need stores willing to sell us books and movies that don\u2019t adhere to the precepts of the new orthodoxy.\u00a0 We need a social media that allows free speech.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 We need organizations to take the place of the Boy Scouts and the other captured social groups.<\/p>\n<p>And even in these things the very first steps have been taken.\u00a0 Elon Musk has challenged the government and the woke capitalist hierarchy by allowing relatively free speech on X.\u00a0 That actually is huge.\u00a0 Companies like the Babylon Bee and the Daily Wire have begun making entertainment that crosses all the lines that the Left has drawn.\u00a0 Now none of these companies are any threat to Disney or even the smallest entertainment company but they are a beginning and a beacon for anyone else who would like to provide much needed choices for people on the Right.<\/p>\n<p>And someone like Tucker Carlson is another trailblazer. \u00a0\u00a0He is stepping into the space left open when Fox News allowed itself to be bitch-slapped into submission by Washington\u2019s stooges.\u00a0 He is willing to say what he actually thinks about the banana republic tactics of the Justice Department and the other organs of the Deep State.\u00a0 And there is a small cadre of other reporters on the Right (and the Center-Left) who have the guts to speak out when thugs in our own government use gestapo tactics on Americans in high places and low.<\/p>\n<p>But all these cases are embryonic; they\u2019re just tiny buds and shoots of the forest of alternative services and businesses that are needed.\u00a0 We need private schools and state vouchers to make them competitive.\u00a0 We need entrepreneurs with deep pockets to emulate what Elon Musk has done.\u00a0 They need to cater to the 30% \u2013 50% of the country that are sick of Dylan Mulvaney and LGBTQ Snow White and Drag Queen Groomers and everything else that the current Federal\/Educational\/Commercial-Complex is pushing.<\/p>\n<p>So, my sanity check says that right now the revolution is almost impossible to detect.\u00a0 But you just barely can.\u00a0 And believe it or not that is enough to keep me on board.\u00a0 The body has a pulse.\u00a0 Breathing is irregular but ongoing.\u00a0 There are efforts to resist the madness and where they are pushed, they show results.\u00a0 A bunch of states have banned trans-surgeries and puberty blocking drugs on children.\u00a0 That\u2019s huge!\u00a0 And it happened because a few people at the state level spoke up and said it was wrong.\u00a0 And now that example is giving other people courage to challenge the AMA and other professional organizations that knuckle under to fringe activist groups.\u00a0 Lawsuits are being brought that will punish doctors and other professionals that are doing irreparable harm to children and even adults.<\/p>\n<p>Things are beginning.\u00a0 But all of it is so tiny in relation to the size and power of the opposition that it is daunting.\u00a0 But what I believe is most lacking is a powerful charismatic leader to organize the disparate efforts in all the fields that, put together, could provide an identity and a unity to the Americans who are shunned and demonized by the present regime.\u00a0 Who will step forward and make that happen?\u00a0 That\u2019s the next step.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As another presidential election day approaches people are once again wondering if things can get better.\u00a0 Will Trump be disqualified
