The Event ~ America the Great is on a Slippery Downhill Slope

This morning, I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what I say, lives are never going to be the same.  I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone.

You can't justify this insanity. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind.  We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to us.Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.

People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.Universities that advocate equality, discriminate against Asian-Americans in favor of African-Americans.Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.

Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of THEIR rights.People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.  After legislating gender, if a dude pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.

It was cool for Joe Biden to "blackmail" the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquiries about it.People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees.

Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcomed.

$5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not.  If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.  And, pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists"!

Nothing makes sense anymore, no values, no morals, no civility and people are dying of a Chinese virus, but it is racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China.  We are clearly living in an upside-down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong, but killing innocent babies is right.  Wake up America. The great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water and sinking fast.

 

 

Now you understand why there was never any action against the Clintons or Obama, how they destroyed emails and evidence and phones and servers, how they spied and wiretapped, how they lied to FISA, had conversations on the tarmac, sent emails to cover their asses after key meetings, how Comey and Brennan and Clapper never were brought to any justice, how the FBI and CIA lied, how the Steele Dossier was passed along, how phones got factory reset, how leak after leak to an accomplice media went unchecked, why George Soros is always in the shadows, why Romney and Paul and Bush and McCain were all involved, why they screamed Russia and pushed a sham impeachment, why no one ever goes to jail, why no one is ever charged, why nothing ever happens. Why there was no wrongdoing in the FISA warrants, why the Durham report was delayed. Why Hunter will walk scott free. Why the FBI sat on the laptop. Why the Biden’s connection to China was overlooked as was unleashed the perfect weapon, a virus that could be weaponized politically to bring down the greatest ever economy and usher in unverifiable mail in voting. Why the media is 24/7 propaganda and lies, why up is down and down is up, right is wrong and wrong is right.
Why social media silences the First Amendment and speaks over the President of the United States. This has been the plan by the Deep State all along. They didn’t expect Trump to win in 2016. He messed up their plans. Delayed it a little. They weren’t about to let it happen again. Covid was weaponized, Governors helped shut down their states, the media helped shame and kill the economy, and the super lucky unverifiable mail in ballots were just the trick to make sure the career politician allegedly with hands in Chinese payrolls that couldn’t finish a sentence or collect a crowd, miraculously became the most popular vote recipient of all time.
You have just witnessed a coup, the overthrow of the US free election system, the end of our constitutional republic, and the merge of capitalism into the slide toward socialism. What will happen next? Expect the borders to open up. Increased immigration. Expect agencies like CBP and INS and Homeland Security to be muzzled or even deleted. Law enforcement will see continued defunding. The electoral college will be gone. History erased. Two Supreme Court Justices might be removed. The Supreme Court will be packed. Your 2nd Amendment will be attacked. If you have a manufacturing job or oil industry job, get ready. If you run a business, brace for impact. Maybe you’ll be on the hook for slavery reparations, or have your suburbs turned into Section 8 housing. Your taxes are gonna go up, and businesses will pay more. I could go on and on. There is no real recovery from this. The elections from here on will be decided by New York City, Chicago, and California. The Republic will be dead. Mob rule and appeasement will run rampant. The candidate who offers the most from the Treasury will get the most votes. But the votes voted won’t matter, just the ones counted. That precedent has been set.
“Benjamin Franklin was walking out of Independence Hall after the Constitutional Convention in 1787, when someone shouted out, ‘Doctor, what have we got? A republic or a monarchy?’”
Franklin responded, “A republic, if you can keep it.”
Ladies and gentlemen, you will now lose your Republic. You turned from God. You turned from family. You turned from country. You embraced degeneracy culture. You celebrated and looked to fools. You worshipped yourselves selfishly as you took for granted what men died to give you. You disregarded history and all it teaches. On your watch, America just died. It’s likely she’ll never be the same again.
Some of you have no idea what you’ve done. Sadly, some of you did.

The Event ~ When Did We Go Where ?

Tim and  I were reminiscing one day recently,  trying to recall when we went where.  I had to go back and look at posts from the last ten years to figure out the time frame of our travels.  So I decided I should record some of our bigger trips for future memory sake!

Germany/Belgium/Austria - October 2006:  to visit our exchange student Daniel who spent a year with us during the 97-98 school year. 

                    --------------------------------------------------------------------

Kentucky - Summers of 2008 and 2009:  Tim stayed home.  I flew to Kentucky both years to attend the International Ventriloquist Convention.

                     -------------------------------------------------------------------

Alaska - August 2009:  Cash was working in Alaska in the tourist industry.  Tim and I flew to Juneau Alaska and then took a boat to Skagway and spent about a week with Cash and went with him on many tourist tours, including our own private helecopter ride to the top of a glacier.




                         -------------------------------------------------------------------
San Antonio, Texas -  October 2010:  Tim and I went on a group tour to San Antonio and the surrounding area including Corpus Christi, the King Ranch, the LBJ Ranch, and several other places.

                        -------------------------------------------------------------------

February 2011 - Caribbean Cruise:  In celebration of our 40th anniversary, we enjoyed a seven day cruise on the Royal Caribbean ship, and a couple extra days in Orlando, Florida.  Loved the cruise. 

                        ---------------------------------------------------------------------

October 2012 - Gettysburg, Philadelphia, and Amish Lancaster County, Pennsylvania: This was a ten day road trip in perfect beautiful fall weather and colorful autumn colors.

Pureuto Vallarta, Mexico - November 2013:  Tim and I, Janel and Tim, and Cash and Annie flew together to Puerato Valarto for the beach resort wedding of Alexis and Val.  A very fun family time together.







                            -----------------------------------------------------------------

October 2014 - Israel & Jordan:  A trip I would love to take again.  A trip everyone should experience at least once in a lifetime.  We were part of a tour group

A swim in the Dead Sea



                            ------------------------------------------------------------------

Mississippi River Cruise New Orleans to Memphis - December 2016:   This was a Christmas cruise during Christmas on the American Queen paddle wheel boat.  We toured New Orleans at the beginning and Memphis and Elvis' Graceland at the end.


                            -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Waco/San Antonio, Texas - Summer 2017:  I was privileged to join  Cash & Annie and Penny, Charlotte and Wyatt on a road trip to Texas.  What a great bonding experience for me with the little kids.  Loved every minute of it and was glad to be a big help with the kids.




                            -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Costa Rica - February 2018:  Another group tour - 10 days in beautiful Costa Rica.  We had the best ever tour guide on the bus the whole time - our best tour guide ever. 



                            -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Washington DC - April 2018:  Another group bus tour with Moostash Joe tours out of Fremont NE.  This was such a great tour.  We had mixed emotions as we stopped and viewed the site of the 9/11 plane crash and memorial in Pennsylvania and toured the site of the 9/11Pentagon plane crash memorial.  We remember the day those happened, a day in history one will never forget.  Amazing war memorials and presidential memorials, and all the historic sites that played a part in building America and making it great.  We also toured Jamestown, the Kentucky Derby track, and the Indianapolis 500 raceway in Indiana.

Nashville &  Smokey Mountains, Tennessee - April 2019:  Another group bus tour with Moostash Joe tours.  This time church friends, Bonnie and Jim Stolen went with us.  We had a great time together.  Pigeon Forge Tennessee is a vacation destination for sure.  We spent a day at Dollywood, and also went to the Grand Ole Opry, several distilleries and a quilt museum, and the childhood home of Loretta Lynn.



                            --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Australia & New Zealand - March 2020:  A trip of a lifetime on Tim's bucket list.  We were gone for three weeks, making an overnite visit with Alexis and Val in San Francisco before flying into Las Angeles for the international flight.  We left right at the beginning of the onset of the Covid pandemic.  By the time we got home, everything was shut down and people were staying home and isolating.  Even the airports were empty.  But it was a great trip and perfect timing for us.  So glad we went when we did. It was with Rupiper Tours, a farm/ranch tour company from Yankton SD.  So we got out into the country and witnessed the way they farm and ranch in Australia and New Zealand.  We also flew to the outback as well, which really completed our Australia experience, and snorkeled in the Great Barrier Reef.
