1/2 During China’s Cultural Revolution, Mao sought to enforce his vision of Marxism and to erase history, culture, and memory. All contrary ideas and the objects representing them had to be destroyed.

Good example of how Netflix and general American entertainment industry is fiction prelude to reality. We should all be looking at late 19th century/early 20th century social ideology campaigns in Europe/Russia to understand how fast this is about to happen in this decade. Freedom/Socialism dichotomies are no longer about human rights overseas—it’s about basic civil rights in the USA. The ideological war is now here in realtime. Sadly, so called “capitalists” and so called “liberals” and so called “conservatives” have accelerated the problem.

This is a problem. And there’s a Monroe Doctrine solution.

By this time in 1775, some of my ancestors in South Carolina were already forming patriot units, including the Turkey Creek horse rifles. Over the course of the war, Edward Lacey’s mounted infantry regiment would fight Cornwallis’ and Tarlton’s troops from the salt marshes around Charleston to King’s Mountain in the Carolina backcountry.

The two most powerful Protestant nations in history announce major trade deal. And later same day the first American pope is announced. Starting to look like an American moment. Interesting.

TikTok was banned in a law passed by Congress, signed by the President, and upheld by the Supreme Court. Why is this Chinese Communist Party-controlled app still being used by 50 million Americans daily?

“Federal public buildings should be visually identifiable as civic buildings and respect regional, traditional, and classical architectural heritage in order to uplift and beautify public spaces and ennoble the United States and our system of self-government.”

The musical soundtrack for The Patriot, one of the greatest American movies of all time, has been removed from digital apps. Why? Who owns the rights? Who made the decision to delete this inspiring score from our American culture? The answer is very revealing.

It’s time to end the war in Ukraine, defeat Iran, and focus on China... and free Cuba.

I’ll be proud to vote for President Donald J. Trump for the third time this November. Unlike many individuals in public life, President Trump has actually become a better statesman over the passage of time. And there is something to note in his physical visage after the assassination attempt. It is noticeable and remarkable. Something has changed. (People who knew Teddy Roosevelt said something similar.)

BREAKING: Former President Trump survives apparent assassination attempt. He was shot while speaking at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania and was escorted off stage with apparent blood on the right side of his face. God bless Donald Trump. God help our country.
