Pomp And Circumstance

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

King Charles III was just “coronated” in London; and he looked feeble and frightened during much of the process—almost Joe Biden-esque—unlike his mother before him.  There was hardly a black or non-white face in the crowd at Westminster Abbey, except eight black minstrels who were dressed elegantly in white, and brought a smile to Charles’ face.

It was all quaint and quite anachronistic.  Rain was falling outside, as it usually does this time of year.  Meanwhile, throngs of well-wishers lined the streets; and reportedly, anti-monarchists were arrested and shunted off, so they wouldn’t soil the occasion.  Royalty from far and wide were present, in stark contrast to Czar Nicholas II’s send-off in Russia.

Princes Andrew and Harry were present, setting aside for the moment the scandals swirling about the former’s ties to the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and Harry’s estranged relationship because of his American wife, #MEGXIT, today’s Wallis Simpson.  In a sense, the whole occasion was a bit bizarre and other-worldly, as if the lily-white Monarchy’s last gasp was taking place amidst regal splendor.

Notably absent were Russia’s Vladimir Putin, China’s Xi Jinping and North Korea’s Kim Jong-un, who threatened to throw the world headlong into the next global war.  Also, missing was brain-addled Joe Biden, who might not fully appreciate where he was or what was happening.  Brits who were homeless and starving weren’t present either, as another chapter in world history seemed to be closing.

My first maternal ancestor to arrive in America came in the 1700s from Bristol, England, and became a merchant in Albemarle County, Virginia.  Other ancestors came from Ireland, Scotland and Germany around 1850.  The great melting pot that is America today is torn asunder by crime and poverty everywhere, and political divisions that seem unprecedented and unresolvable.  But for one brief shining moment, once-great Britain had its day in the sun—albeit with intermittent drizzle.

The Sun Is Setting On The UK’s Monarchy

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

The UK’s monarchy hasn’t had a meaningful role in anything for more than 100 years.  Perhaps its last gasp was when the QE2 was sent to the Falkland’s War as a troop carrier, to “assist” Jeffrey Epstein’s buddy Randy Andy in fighting that war.  How pathetic.[2]

The monarchy is a racist, privileged-beyond-belief, class-centric anachronism whose time has passed, perhaps like their Russian relatives—if the Taliban have anything to say about it.[3]  Indeed, like the House of Lords, the sun set on Britain’s empire ages ago.  Both Scotland and Northern Ireland should leave and finish the job.

Elizabeth’s other son and heir to her throne, Charles, left Diana for his mistress Camilla.  His only other claim to fame is as a woke and outspoken proponent of the eco-Nazis’ man-made “global warming” theory.  He ignores the fact that our planet has undergone warming and cooling cycles for millions of years, which will continue after he and the rest of us are long gone.

And then there’s his daughter-in-law Meghan Markle, the most despised woman in the world[4], who has been doing her very best as a raving Narcissist to besmirch the monarchy’s reputation at every turn.  And her husband, dumb and dumber Harry—who has worn a Nazi uniform[5]—seems to be too thick, docile or subservient to alter her path of degradation.[6]

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]

[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.

Twitter Engages In Racist Censorship, And Is Un-American

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Twitter—based in the uber-Leftist and crime-ridden San Francisco—has suspended the accounts of those who tell the truth about Oprah, Meghan Markle and others.  This constitutes racism.

Oprah has admitted that she was a prostitute.[2].  By the same token, the UK’s Prince Philip warned about marrying Meghan Markle.[3]

For decades, Hollywood’s “casting couch” has been the way that young, aspiring actresses have risen in Tinseltown.  The sleazebag Harvey Weinstein used it to the nth degree.  Jeffrey Epstein had his on the East Coast and elsewhere.

Certainly, Meghan Markle is a racist ho, who has used the casting couch to reach the British Monarchy, which Prince Philip warned about.  But Twitter wants to whitewash both Oprah and her.

Having grown up in Hollywood—and having two friends who just retired at the very top of Hollywood’s two biggest studios—and having worked in the U.S. Senate where I saw young women prostitute themselves and be used and abused like groupies at rock concerts, Twitter would be engaging in wholesale and blatant racist censorship by suspending the account of anyone who tells the truth.

Twitter and Facebook are part of “Fake News,” which may have skewed the 2020 election results by “burying” the Hunter Biden laptop story, and other potentially-damaging disclosures about the Biden family’s criminal enterprises.

Also, they lionized the thug George Floyd, and championed “Black Lives Matter,” Antifa and other far-Left groups, whose thugs, slugs, hoods and mongrels burned our cities, killed or hurt innocent Americans including our police, and destroyed black and other businesses.

By engaging in the wholesale distortion of the truth, and the insidious burying of history, such disseminators of “Fake News” have fanned the flames of racism against our police and other Americans. The results are evident today in unchecked crime and lawlessness, unsafe cities, and the deterioration of our great nation and the lives of millions of Americans.

Lastly, will Elon Musk clean out the woke worms at Twitter if he takes over?  Time will tell.  If he doesn’t, Twitter should be shut down permanently.  It engages in the denial of free speech, which is a fundamental right of all Americans.

Also, like the rest of “Fake News,” it attempts to shut down and/or destroy those who support our great President Donald Trump, at a time when our enemies—China and Russia—are determined to weaken or destroy us.
