Bid Adieu To 2022

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

As 2022 comes to a close and 2023 beckons, best wishes to all for the holidays and the new year ahead.

Two earlier articles here encapsulated the “Helter Skelter” that lots of Americans and their counterparts globally were experiencing.[2]  The same thing is true today.[3]

Covid is still with us, although it has mutated and keeps on doing so, which is something that the world attributes—and ascribes correctly—to China.  It should have paid trillions of dollars in reparations globally, but it hasn’t paid a penny.  Quite to the contrary, it is threatening World War III.[4]

We do not have a legitimate President in the White House.  Rather, we have a mentally-challenged buffoon and crook, whose “Vice President” is waiting in the wings for him to croak.  Both are the laughingstock of the world.[5]

In the final analysis, however, there is always reason for hope and optimism—and Divine Order—because God exists and loves us.[6]  Do I expect you to agree with everything that I have written above and elsewhere?  Certainly not.  Each of us is a unique, one-of-a-kind creation of God, living this always-challenging earthly existence.

Immediate Impeachment Of Joe Biden Should Be The Litmus Test For The Support Of Republicans And All Other American Politicians

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Biden is embarrassing to watch.

The world is laughing at us for having such a moron and buffoon in the White House, instead of consigning him to a prison cell where he belongs.  Straight to Guantanamo Bay with Hunter and other members of the Biden Family Crime Syndicate and their co-conspirators—including Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray—must be the hue and cry from every American regardless of political affiliation.

With few exceptions, the Republicans are just as pathetic as the evil Democrats, which is why lots of us became Independents years ago, and have never revisited that decision.[2]   Chaos and divisions in America began with the racist and anti-Semite Barack Obama.  Joe Biden was put in power by him, and is his disciple.  The Biden presidency is Obama 2.0, or even worse.[3].  Like Meghan Markle and her husband Harry, both politicians are grifters who have become very rich without having worked in the private sector.

Washington is sick and the American people know it.  The sickness didn’t begin recently.  It has been true for a very long time.  As I have written:

[T]he American people, God love them, are waking up bigtime to the mess that is Washington, D.C.—a corrupt, politically-polarized toxic city.[4]

The depth of this abyss can only be understood fully by those who have worked there at the highest levels, or have been its victims.  But Americans know intuitively what is happening.

So much chaos, acrimony and suffering in the United States and globally.  It’s as if the bowels of Hell have opened wide and sucked us in.  Some of us see only negatives instead of the order and beauty that exist.  As the Coronavirus pandemic has evolved, and as economic dislocations and disorder have reigned, some of us have fought hard to see the good in Life, and among our fellow beings.

Like avoiding an auto accident when we see an aggressive driver nearby, our instincts are to pull back and distance ourselves from the calamity that may develop, as the driver rushes headlong toward chaos.  Will our actions be enough to avoid the tragedy if it should develop?  Only time will tell.  But if we read and write these words, we know that faith has brought us this far.[5]

The Dumbing Down Of America?

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

History must be accurate, or it provides no perspective or foundation or frame of reference for future generations.  The Democrats gave us slavery, and perpetuated it after our Civil War with the Ku Klux Klan (or KKK), segregation and later, Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society” programs that destroyed black families and consigned them to economic servitude.

Abraham Lincoln and his Republicans brought slavery to an end, at a terrible price.  That story is never told as the Democrats and their thugs are defacing our monuments and the like.  Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman won the war militarily, but Lincoln was assassinated.  After his successor Andrew Johnson’s presidency, Grant was elected and served two terms.[2]

Once again, the Democrats sought to roll back the freedoms afforded to black Americans, as if they never existed.  Military units were segregated for almost a century after the war ended.  Indeed, Edward W. Brooke—for and with whom I worked, and who was the first black U.S. Senator following Reconstruction—served in a segregated American army unit in Italy during World War II.[3]

While many of America’s blacks were and are deeply and genuinely religious, and trust in God, others have turned their backs and scoffed at religious beliefs.  The thugs, slugs, hoods and mongrels of “Black Lives Matter,” Antifa and other far-Left groups have burned our cities, killed or hurt innocent Americans including our police, and destroyed black and other businesses.[4]

In the process, they have remained at the bottom of the economic totem pole, while Hispanic-Americans, Asian-Americans and other minority groups have risen above them and passed them by.  Yet, incredulously, the Democrats have pandered to them by proposing reparations for slavery, preferences in college admissions and other governmental benefits.

Today, African-Americans constitute less than 14 percent of our population, but turn on the TV and one might think that they are in the majority.  Barack Obama and Meghan Markle project their hatred of white America in essentially everything that they do.  And thugs like George Floyd are deified, exacerbating racial tensions.[5]

America has been “dumbed down” because uneducated blacks have often ridiculed their educated counterparts.  Years ago when I took taxis in Washington, D.C., they were often driven by well-educated and very articulate blacks from Africa, who spoke perfect English and were attending Howard University and other schools, and looked down on their American counterparts.

The bright side to all of this: there is a God that will lead each of us through this.  Slavery should not have existed—nor should human trafficking and slavery exist anywhere in the world today.  All of us are equal, and yes loved, in the eyes of God.[6]  And racial hatreds and stereotyping should cease to exist.  Every American should be given an equal chance to excel, and to do his or her very best.[7]

During the time that the author worked for and with Brooke, he was a conservative Republican.  Indeed, the only black professional staff member who worked for him quit because he was not outspoken enough on racial issues.  Later, his staff was coopted by Democrats, and Brooke lost his reelection.

[7]  A listing for a PBS TV show entitled “Love & Respect With Killer Mike – Fab 5 Freddy” said the following:

“Mike sits down with hip hop pioneer Fab 5 Freddy for a conversation about his groundbreaking life and career in music and pop culture.”

First, hip hop is not mainstream American music, or so the author believes.  Second, who on Earth has ever heard of “Fab 5 Freddy”?  Third, perhaps “Freddy” is giving his very best; and stereotyping or prejudices underlie lots of non-black Americans’ beliefs.

Americans Have These Enemies: Vladimir Putin And Russia, Xi Jinping And China, And Joe Biden And His Fellow Traitors

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Vladimir Putin has been America’s enemy ever since he rose to power alongside Boris Yeltsin after the Soviet Union collapsed.  Before that, he was a KGB agent in the DDR, or East Germany, where he was trained as a killer, which is his only skill.[2]

Xi Jinping rose up through the Communist power structure in China, to the point where some argue that he is the successor to Mao Tse-tung, who killed more than 30-40 million Chinese and others.[3]

Joe Biden is a criminal and an imbecile, who should be imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay with other members of the Biden Family Crime Syndicate, at the very least.[4]  He and other members of his failed presidency are impeding Ukraine’s victory over Putin and his butchers, which is a crime unto itself.[5]
