So much has happened in so short a time. The nightmare that has been the left’s assault on all things good, all that is decent, all that is America, has been more than we can ever fathom. It is the stuff of wicked evil that has no conscious and seemingly has free reign to attack our institutions, our economy, our freedoms, our heritage, our rights, our constitution, our laws, and our very existence if we believe in anything other than the insane, criminal, perverted ideology of the left. They are even attacking our children. All of this damage and pain inflicted without consequence. Crimes, lawlessness and abuses of power are not being checked by law enforcement or our courts. Oh yes, our courts are now increasingly imposing criminal, lawless and abuses of judicial power in their rulings against decent and good Americans. The J6 patriots are an example of crimes against political opponents. The corrupt abuses of judicial power against President Trump are at the other end of the spectrum. By this time, it is clear that the evil that has taken over the Democrat Party are a clear and present danger to our Republic. They will not stop and they cannot be reasoned with because they do not embrace self-evident truths nor do they support our Republic. They have declared war on America and have spilled innocent American blood. From its trial run in the Occupy Wall Street movement to its increasingly violent and hate filled offspring of BLM and Antifa, the radicals, extremists and criminals who have taken over the Democrat party having purged every decent American democrat from its ranks, they have made it clear that this is a battle to the death. No quarter. No mercy given. No tomorrow.

It is the lull before the storm. The calm before the upheavals to come. Many of you are among the ranks of the Tea Party. You are battle tested warriors and if you are still with the tea party, you are courageous. You are the creme of our nation’s crop. You are the patriots that have been sounding the alarm and fighting the good fight forever. It is to a grateful nation that you had risen. As part of the greatest freedom movement in the world in our lifetime, the impact we have made remains much to feel proud of. Now, it is time while we still have it, to take stock of who we are and our purpose. It is a time to enjoy family and friends. A time to embrace and appreciate life. The time for the final battle for our Republic is on our horizon. So take the time now to enjoy life and times with good friends and family. And then, get ready to finish the job and purge the evil that has infested our halls of power or go down fighting.

There is no arguing. There is no reason at this point to debate with the enemy. We can no longer really recognize these opponents as simply Americans with a different viewpoint. There is no common ground. They are the enemy and the fruits of their positions are the riots, looting, the violence against our churches, businesses and families, the attack on our history and our monuments. Their embrace of genocidal terrorists like Hamas, and their anti-God mindset are a clear indictment of how foreign to American ideals that have drifted from. They are becoming monsters terrorizing all in their paths including little children. All of this will end, this standoff will be over in less than 3 months…one way or the other. In the meantime, take the time to break away in this lull and find your sanctuary and rediscover joy.

With Gratitude and Resolve,
