Fascism In America

By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

One need not look at Adolf Hitler and his Nazis in Germany, or Mao Tse-tung in China, or Joseph Stalin in the Soviet Union to find unbridled fascism.[2] It exists today in the United States; and its tide must be turned or our magnificent country will be headed for oblivion and the dustheap of history—or worse.[3]

There are lots of ways to kill. Russia’s Vladimir Putin has proven that in spades, after having perfected the fine art during his days with the Soviet Union’s KGB in the DDR, or East Germany before the Iron Curtain fell.[4] His latest example is Alexei Navalny’s death in an obscure prison in the far reaches of Russia.[5]

In America today, turn on the TV and tune into the major networks—or CNN, MSNBC, PBS, C-SPAN and the like, leave aside the printed news of the New York Times and Washington Post—and you will witness Leftist “indoctrination” at its best. Any illusions of fairness and impartiality disappeared years if not decades ago.

Look at how the Secret Service stepped aside while Merrick Garland and Christopher Wray’s FBI raided Mar-a-Lago in Florida seeking evidence of Donald Trump’s criminality. Yet, they did nothing about Joe and Hunter Biden and the other members of the Biden Family Crime Syndicate and their co-conspirators. A double standard? No, fascism in action.

Next, our borders have been opened wide since the Democrats regained the presidency in January of 2021, with killer drugs like Fentanyl, human traffickers and the worst criminal elements—aside from foreign agents engaged in espionage—flowing freely into the United States. Gone are the orderly immigration laws, which protected us once upon a time.

On an even more personal level, speak out against “established dogma” and one is ridiculed or far worse. Those courageous Jewish college students who have spoken out against Benjamin Netanyahu’s “genocide” in Israel are condemned by other Jews for departing from the “party line.” It has even been advocated that they should be barred from jobs in the future.[6] And it can become even more personal than that.[7]

Until enough Americans stand up and regain their country, and say enough is enough—and mean it—our nation will be in decline and our mortal enemies will be salivating, seeking to gain any and all advantages that they can, globally. And yes, the clock is ticking, which is why our elections in November are so important; and why Americans must stand up and say: “You can’t take our country from us.” And boot out the perverted lunatics, outright criminals, and our enemies.[8]

It’s Coming To America’s Shores, In Spades

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

If anyone thinks that our wars in Ukraine and the Middle East will not reach our shores, they are naive.  The FBI reported that a vehicle exploded at the Niagara Falls bridge connecting the USA and Canada.[2]. Our southern border has been “porous” beyond all reckoning, allowing the Mexican cartels to bring in life-ending Fentanyl from our adversary China, as well as engaging in human trafficking, slavery and the sale of harvested human organs.

Crime is omnipresent in our country today; and Leftist prosecutors and judges release repeat offenders with barely a slap on their wrists.  China is poised to overrun Taiwan, potentially incarcerating American citizens there, as it has enslaved more than a million Uyghurs and others in “concentration camps,” or killed them outright.  Our enemies do not play by “Marquess of Queensberry” rules.[3]  The advent of Covid from China is one shining example of that, which keeps on mutating and spreading.

The good news on this blessed Thanksgiving Day is that more and more Americans—of all colors, faiths and ethnic backgrounds—are standing up and saying enough is enough.  While chaos may be coming to our shores, it is being met by the indefatigable American spirit of never giving up.  We wouldn’t be a country today without that spirit, and God, thrusting us forward against all odds.

Will Victoria Be A Model Of Healing, Reconciliation And Hope?

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Few Americans have ever heard of Victoria, Texas, much less been there.  The wider world probably thinks any mention of this pint-sized town is utter nonsense, especially given all of the chaos that is swirling about us.  Yet, to understand how the residents of Victoria have come together after its only mosque was burned to the ground speaks volumes about Man’s humanity toward our fellow beings.

In four days, 21,000 Americans donated more than $1 million to rebuild the mosque, which was not insured in the event of fire.[2]  But that was only the beginning of love and reconciliation, which might spread far beyond Victoria.  To its credit, PBS aired a special about what has happened in the town, which is worth watching in its entirety.[3]

Our news is saturated with stories about the tragic war in Israel, which may spawn a greater conflagration—approximating or metastasizing into World War III.  Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine, and Xi Jinping’s moves vis-a-vis Taiwan and beyond, are downright scary and mind-boggling for most to comprehend, much less absorb.

To find “good news” each day, certainly on a global scale, is a time-consuming search, which most Americans and citizens of other countries gave up trying to do long ago.  Covid hit us.  Then, crime and the closing of long-established businesses, and the loss of jobs.  And rising prices for almost everything, and budgets stretched beyond the breaking point.  And frictions between religions and economic classes—the “haves” versus “have nots”—coupled with racial hatreds, divisions and animosities.

Many Americans have chosen to tune out bad news by watching sports, and hoping that their team wins, or is not too much of a embarrassment.  Will the “good news” from Victoria remain true, or is it a fanciful facade that will evaporate over time?  Let us pray that it endures, and shines a bright light and beacon of hope on our lives and the wider world.

Veterans Day 2023

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

America’s holidays come and go, with Easter, the Fourth of July, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s being among the most popular of all.[2]. Today we celebrate Veterans Day, which may have more significance this year than most Americans realize.  We may be on the cusp of regional wars in Ukraine, Israel and the Pacific, which might morph into World War III—and affect our lives, our children’s lives and grandchildren’s lives in ways we never imagined.[3]

Those who have served in our military, and fought in our foreign wars, deserve our deepest gratitude and recognition.  They have known hardships and sacrifices that most Americans cannot fathom.  And yes, a growing number have been women.  Today, our military is comprised of all colors, faiths and backgrounds—truly representing a United Nations of the world’s peoples.[4]  And more Americans may join their ranks, by choice or conscription.[5]

If China is going to attack us—and the same thing is true of its allies, Vladimir Putin’s Russia and Kim Jong-un’s North Korea—it will likely occur while brain-addled Joe Biden is the President.  Also, somehow the Democrats must retain control over the levers of American decision making and power, or they may become the victims of it, assuming that Donald Trump is reelected next year.

Pearl Harbor and 9-11 were considered to be aberrations: attacks that never should have happened if America had been alert.  If our enemies strike soon, where and how may it happen?  Will they use “Weapons of Mass Destruction,” or WMDs, such as a nation-ending EMP Attack?[6]  Biden is not Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was intelligent, politically-savvy and courageous.  Does America have a blind spot today, or many of them, which will cost us dearly?

While we celebrate our veterans today, we must salute those who will rise to the occasion in the future.  We need to remain constantly alert and vigilant, so the attacks on Pearl Harbor and 9-11 do not recur—or even worse.

Years Ago, Lots Of Us Gave Up Listening To, Believing In, Or Trying To Reason With The Left

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Rational thinkers do not waste time with those who seek to destroy Christianity, the Scouting programs, the lives of human beings after the moment of conception, our history as a nation, or other Americans.[2]  We are white, black and every color in between, yet we are all Americans.  And yes too, some are even freaks of nature who are proud of that fact.

The Left has torn us down, divided us, condoned crime and championed those who have committed it.  One needs to revisit George Orwell’s prescient “Animal Farm,” in which all of the animals were equal until the Pigs reigned supreme and subjugated the other animals.[3]  This is the world of the Left today, as they inch ever so close to achieving their goals.

Ostensibly they are led by brain-addled Joe Biden and Willie Brown’s former ho, Kamala Harris, who are the laughingstock of the world; and by California’s Gavin Newsom, who fancies himself as our next President.[4]  Our enemies are salivating over the fact that these three are anywhere near the highest echelons of American government—much less occupying our White House.  It is tantamount to turning over the keys to our enemies.

The Leftists are marching us to another global war, against Russia, China and North Korea[5], with respect to which we are unprepared; whereas, Donald Trump kept us out of war.  And yes, lots of us began as Democrats, but it would be sheer madness to support the Democrats of today.  Just as businesses are being “Bud Lighted” or boycotted, so too must the Democrats and their Leftist media cohorts.  Sanity must return to America, before it is too late.

Joe Biden Is Not Our President

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Joe Biden is a brain-addled fraudster, traitor and criminal, who is occupying our White House as our sacred national holiday approaches.  Instead, he should be incarcerated at Guantanamo Bay or Rikers Island for the rest of his life.  China owns him; and he is the laughingstock of the world.  In little more than two short years, he has done more to destroy our great country than any other occupier of the White House in history.  His record is unparalleled.

Our Constitution provides for the death of traitors[2]; and surely that should be his final “reward” in this life.  For those of us who have worked at the highest levels of government in Washington, D.C.[3], the question becomes: “Who is actually running the country?”  Who has the nuclear codes that allow our Presidents to launch missiles against our enemies in the event of war?

It has been said before, and it is worth repeating: the inmates have taken over the asylum.[4]  Our borders are wide open.  Illegal aliens have been “welcomed” from more than a hundred countries, which reportedly have emptied their prisons and sent us the occupants.  The cartels have brought us deadly Fentanyl from China, and other drugs; and they have engaged in human trafficking and slavery, as well as the harvesting of body parts.

Our energy independence has been squandered; and our critical Strategic Petroleum Reserve has been drawn down.  We may be on the verge of wars in Europe and Asia, as Russia’s butcher Vladimir Putin threatens to expand the war in Ukraine, and China’s Xi Jinping may overrun Taiwan.  Make no mistake about it, Joe Biden has brought us to this place in history, all the while he has championed “Freaks of Nature” and their “Pride” nonsense as the new “normal.”[5]

If we were enemies sitting in Moscow or Beijing, it is doubtful whether we could have devised a better plan to destroy the United States and everything we hold dear.  And the supposed opposition leaders like Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy have done literally nothing to stop this insanity, or even slow it.  We will rue the day that we allowed Biden and his Democrats to get near the reins of power; and yes, lots of us began as Democrats, and we are ashamed to admit it.[6]

Will Kevin McCarthy, The RINOs And Fake Republicans Step Aside And Let The MAGA Republicans Save The Country?

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

Kevin McCarthy is full of himself, and he is doing little-to-nothing to save the GOP or the country.  Like Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, he is a creature and product of Washington’s evil politics, who should not be leading his party.[2]

Lots of us are Independents who don’t care about either political party, but we do care about America’s future, because it affects each of us and our offspring.  In the next war, both men and women will be serving in our military, and getting killed in record numbers.

When I left the U.S. Senate, I concluded that the Democrats were “evil” but smart, while the Republicans were “Neanderthals” and dumb.[3]  That conclusion has withstood the test of time, and is truer than ever today.  We might be on the cusp of a global conflagration, which could be the deadliest exchange in the planet’s history.

Such an assertion may seem like hyperbole until one realizes that weaponry exists that can achieve that result.  And we are led by the very essence of evil, in the form of Joe Biden and his co-conspirators, including their cohorts in the media who consistently bury the truth.

For at least six decades, they have rigged our elections[4], and driven America to the point where our President and Vice President are the laughingstock of the world.  Why wouldn’t our enemies exploit us at every turn?  Like chess masters, arguably they have us in “check” and are waiting for the perfect moment to strike and put us in “checkmate,” and prevail.

Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush won the Cold War without a shot being fired.  The Soviet Union is gone, never to rise again.  Will that be America’s fate?  Will we cease to exist—or no longer exist as a global power?

With crime exceeding what was previously thought to be likely, and with illegal aliens crossing our borders in record numbers, and with “freaks of nature” being portrayed as America’s new “normal”—even though they constitute approximately one percent of our population—insanity is arguably ruling our shores.[5]

Ancient Greece, Rome and the far-flung British Empire are gone.  Are we the next to go?  Or has God continued to bless us beyond all human reckoning?[6]

Similarly, TV networks and advertising are saturated with black faces—which constitute less than fourteen percent of America’s population—and simply reflects Leftist guilt about slavery.  It must never be forgotten that the Democrats gave us slavery, and perpetuated it after our Civil War with the KKK and segregation.  Then, Lyndon Johnson and his “Great Society” programs decimated black families and consigned them to economic servitude.

Travels With Charley, Revisited

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

In 1960, sixty-three years ago, American author John Steinbeck took a trip with his wife’s poodle in a custom-built camper, from his home in New York across the country and back home again.  Having been raised in the Salinas Valley of California, he noted regional differences and how America had changed.[2]

If Steinbeck was alive today, and made a similar circumnavigation of our great country, what might he find and conclude?  Coming down through California itself, what would he observe?  Yes, the giant and majestic Redwoods are still there.  And Highway 101 into Salinas from the north can be very congested during much of the day, but agriculture is still the major output.

Lettuce and grapes dot the landscape, as far as the eye can see.  Big combines and other sophisticated heavy machinery are everywhere, as one heads south.  The workers are Hispanic-Americans, who toil away doing whatever is necessary to send the produce to Costco and other major chains, which sell it at bargain prices.  For the most part, the workers drive nice cars, and seem better off than the migrant mother whom Dorothea Lange photographed in 1936, farther south in Nipomo, California.[3]

As one approaches Los Angeles, Steinbeck might be struck by the freeway logjams, and the presence of homeless everywhere.  If Steinbeck passed through San Francisco, he might be saddened by the drug-infested enclaves of them, and the abandoned businesses and buildings.  Presumably he would know how China had sent us the COVID pandemic, which destroyed lots of businesses and made telecommuting the norm.[4]

Steinbeck’s camper had a flat tire, and a specialized tire was needed.  Would he be helped today, or might he be victimized?  Indeed, because of crime that is rampant in American cities, would Steinbeck undertake such a trip, with the poodle Charley as his only protector?  Los Angeles’ freeways are scary for someone who is not used to driving them.  And rush-hour traffic seems to be present much of the day.

Perhaps most of all, Steinbeck might observe the racial and other divisions that exist in the country, which seem to be tearing us apart; and how anger is pervasive.  We live in a fractured nation today; and no easy solutions exist to surmount our differences.  Also, it is a nation of “haves” and “have nots,” which is nowhere more obvious than in the Beverly Hills and Brentwood suburbs of Los Angeles, and Montecito to the north.

All of this is occurring domestically while rumors swirl that Russia’s vicious dictator-for-life Vladimir Putin may have fled Moscow, and might be in the process of being deposed.[5]  And China is allegedly establishing a presence in Cuba, which might be used against us in the event that it overruns Taiwan or moves against us elsewhere in the world.[6]

Does Anyone Trust Joe Biden And His Democrats To Get Us Out Of This Mess?

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

After all, they got us into it.

Our cities are engulfed in crime.  Our police have been demonized.  Illegal aliens have flooded across our borders, along with killer drugs—and killers.  Human traffickers have brought parentless children into our country, to be used and abused sexually.

We are in the midst of a war against Russia, with the Ukrainians as our surrogates.  We are supplying them with weaponry that we might need in a shooting war with China.  Its currency is being adopted globally and might displace the dollar, while its military threatens Taiwan and Japan.

None of this madness and chaos existed some two-plus years ago when Donald Trump was our President.  Yet, in a predetermined master plan, the Democrats have demonized him since he began running for the presidency, using every sinister technique that exists, with any sense of morality having been abandoned on Day One.

Our enemies don’t fear brain-addled Biden; they pity him and us.  Lots of us began as Democrats, but we deserted the party years ago when it veered so far to the Left.[2]

Donald Trump Speaks At Waco

  By Timothy D. Naegele[1]

America’s “Fake News”[2]—which buried the Hunter Biden laptop story before the 2020 elections, and skewed the results—is trying to link Donald Trump’s opening rally of the 2024 election cycle in Waco, Texas to the Branch Davidian tragedy in 1993.[3]  This is absurd.

First, most Americans have never heard of that religious cult, or what happened in Waco.  Second, to the extent that Americans think of it at all, they may do so in terms of governmental abuse[4], which is rampant today.  Third, if Americans think about Waco, Texas, it may be because of Chip and Joanna Gaines and their “Fixer Upper” TV show, and their Magnolia Network’s shows.[5]  Also, Baylor University is nearby, which both of the Gaines attended.[6]

Joe Biden can barely utter two complete and coherent sentences; and he avoids our great country’s southern border like the plague.  And not having visited our southern border either, despite the influx of millions of illegal aliens and criminals, it’s doubtful that Willie Brown’s former ho Kamala Harris can find Waco either.  Both are ostensibly focused on another border; namely, the one in Ukraine, which may be a precursor of World War III—because of their ineptitude and treachery.[7]

Anyone who has never seen a Trump rally should watch this one; for example, on RSBN, which covers all of the Trump rallies, and is excellent.[8]  There is a reason why he was elected as our President in 2016, and reelected in 2020 according to his supporters.  And there is a reason why he leads in polling, despite the Left’s nonstop efforts to destroy him since he began his quest for the presidency in 2015.  The enthusiasm of his supporters—of all colors, sexes and ethnicities—is unmatched by that of his opponents.
