Independence Day in America - Something Worth Striving For

Presently, government planners and schemers are queuing up their tired plans to roll out at the moment of maximum panic. Economic patriotism, universal basic income, modern monetary theory, trade wars, outright currency destruction, and greater government control and encroachments upon freedom and liberty.

The plans, however, ain’t gonna fix what’s coming. What’s more, these programs of central planners, while pandering to extreme populism, will only further exacerbate it.

Thus, in the American traditions of freedom, liberty, and independence, create something new and according to your own rules. A centralized statist government may ultimately confiscate every last dollar you produce. But, with a little luck, you’ll be contributing to a “gale of creative destruction” that blows through the status quo like a Midwestern tornado."

    I watched a Nazi Movement In American 1939 on TV. Anyone who doesn't understand what is happening today should watch this. It's a repeat!

    I watched the 4th at the White House. It was really good. The music, the aircraft, Mr. Trump's address.
    I did cry a bit. I am sad this 4th for our country and how unhappy everyone is.

    Maybe we need something so intense, so engaging...no one, regardless of ideology, has no time to complain, to plot, to destroy or cheat. An activity for their brains and our minds that keeps freedom, agency and happiness alive.

    I have no idea what that would be...maybe, a challenge... to survive the end of this cycle into the next with all things good, intact and no lives lost.
    Maybe that activity, thrust upon the parasitical delete will be enough to change the epigenetics inherited by their offspring.

      I'd suggest reading a good book for starters. One which engages the imagination. The "idle mind is the devil's playground" after all and there are plenty of people whose brains have atrophied to the point that their maintenance in homo sapiens is being actively challenged...

    As the liberal media chastises Trumps Mt Rushmore speech . This reporter wrote.
    “We’re once again shown how Trump has broken liberal America and their media apparatus in this country. It’s annoying yet reassuring in the sense that I’m forever grateful I’m not a liberal. I’m a racist for celebrating the Fourth of July. Go to hell”.
    If he was in the Gulch he would be indefinitely suspended. Good grief!
