On January 6th, 2021, the selfless efforts by patriotic Americans to stop the steal of our elections and save our Republic was lost. We had gathered at the capitol on the faithful day knowing full well that the left would have a trap waiting for us, nevertheless we were all in to save our Republic. The idea to simply allow Democrat crime bosses to steal the 2020 election in such an audacious and public fashion was something that we could not allow without a fight. So we J-6 patriots stood up and the left sprung their trap. I was very aware that we were walking into a set up and I told the bus load of people that I led to DC that this was a trap, but that we were nevertheless, going to be a presence with impact on that day. I never regretted the decision to enter DC to try to stop the steal. I never felt more proud to be among such strong and committed people who, despite the harsh freezing conditions, were upbeat and positive. Quite different than the narrative created by the media. By the end of that fateful day, the bad guys had won using the false pretext of insurrection to shut down the last credible deliberation by Congress to ensure a valid and verified final outcome of the 2020 election. And with that failure, the Republic was lost. No nation has ever regained its freedom having squandered it. That had been true of the history of all nations until …Nov. 5th, 2024.

On Jan. 20th, 2025, the 4 terrible years of our nation being held hostage to an illegitimate President and of a party that stole our elections will come to an end. America has a chance to restore our Republic. President Trump’s victory was historic on so many levels. Most of our Presidents have no iconic moments, Trump has at least four in just one year. From serving at McDonald’s, to driving a garbage Trump truck, to being bloodied by an assassin’s bullet and rising up defiantly to shout fight! fight! fight! to being forced to take a mug shot, Trump is one towering figure for the ages and an almost mythic figure for the history books. But as we enter 2025, it is for us to do whatever it takes to restore our Republic. From eliminating the massive voter fraud operations by the left, to crushing the left-wing war machine of the DOJ, FBI, CIA, IRS and last but not least, the Department of Education, all these powerful institutions today stand as a direct clear and present danger to our Republic. The corruption of these institutions must be eviscerated and in the case of the Dept. of Education, eliminated from the face of the earth.

And the concept that laws apply to everyone except if you are a democrat must be eradicated from our courts and our prosecutors. The law must apply to everyone, even democrats. And for that to happen, the laws broken over the last several years must be accounted for. It is not revenge to hold someone accountable from crimes. It is not retribution to apply the law fairly to all. It is not pay back to seek justice for injustices. For if we are to ever return to being a nation that embraces rule of law, then we must hold accountable those who have imposed rule of lawlessness on all of us. To pro-life pastors, to concerned parents speaking out at school boards on behalf of their children’s welfare, to a Presidential candidate who was targeted for destruction on behalf of the democrat party, the lawless must be held accountable for the lawful to find justice.

We won. The good guys can still win over the bad guys. Our nation may once again be a Republic with a constitution that upholds our rights and freedoms under rule of law. We are on a winning streak. We now finish the job. It is time to surge in our influence on correcting the evils that were imposed on us and it is time to purge the bad guys that have infested our powerful institutions and get rid of the institutions that are not so great (like the Department of Education!) But for now, enjoy Christmas! Be around good people and have good times. Take a much-deserved break from the crazy insane and dangerous people whose voices have become much too loud over these last several years. Celebrate the winning through Jan 20th 2025. And then it’s pedal to the metal with surge and purge. And Fight! Fight! Fight! like it is our last chance for our Republic, because it might just be!
