A nation that wishes to remain strong must have a common language. The people must be able to speak to each other and understand each other. To know what they are saying. This is why something as simple as an accent can divide people. Separate a people into the haves and have nots. On the Island of Great Britain, French-speaking nobility ruled over Germanic peasants for generations, until they spent 100 years fighting the French and learned to speak one language. What we now call English. They became a nation when they did that. A nation that would spread out and conquer the world in time. A strong nation must have a common language. Sometimes it is born with it. Sometimes it creates a new one. But without one, a nation is divided, and a nation divided against itself will never stand in the long run.
A nation must have strong borders to survive. History is filled with nations that did not maintain control of their borders and died. Many borders over history have been geographical. That river over there. The big stone next to the forest. That mountain range. Other borders are imaginary lines in the sand either claimed by the nation or agreed upon with other nations. Many wars have started because nations couldn’t agree on where the border was, or because one of them just wanted that piece of land and the other one didn’t agree to let them have it. What does a nation do when people claiming they own your land cross your border without your approval and take up residence on your land? If you are a nation that wishes to survive, you send them back where they came from. By force if necessary. History is filled with nations that did not do that and died.
Five years ago, I had finally reached the end of my long legal journey to getting my house back. I owned a vacation house up north and sold it. The people buying it stopped paying for it so I went through the process. I paid their back taxes to bring things up to date, I paid lawyers, and on the 10th of March 2020, I stepped before a judge who looked at the evidence and ordered them evicted, scheduling it for the 20th of March 2020. The long legal journey was over.
Then the government lockdowns began and the State of Minnesota decided that evicting people for not paying their bills was not allowed. Many months went by before the State decided they would lot SOME evictions go through. Mine was one, so I finally got them evicted in reality towards the end of the year. After they generated thousands more in utility bills and thousands more in damage to the house. The losses they caused me on that house, aided and abetted by the State of Minnesota, added up to five digits of damage, aimed directly at my pocket book.
This is but ONE of the ways in which the various governments in America have chosen to pursue policies that damaged me personally financially up to five digits in the two decades. I’m in the lower middle class. My income is in the five digits, and not the upper range of that. So when the government pursues policies that specifically damage me that much, it is a very real amount of money. An individual robber taking that amount of money from me would be charged with a felony. But since it was done with the support of the government, or by the government directly, I have no recourse.
That is one reason why I want government officials who have abused the people fired. Investigated. Put on trial. Sent to prison if convicted of the crime. Government officials who use their position to abuse the people and steal from us should go to prison for it. As a lesson to others if nothing else. So they stop doing this. If we don’t demand this, they will continue to do it.
So the old familiar crazies are at it again.
We’ve got fire bombings. Destruction of personal property. Assault with deadly weapons. All aimed Tesla buildings or vehicles. Washington and Oregon States appear to be very unhealthy places for people to own those vehicles.
We’ve got major cyber attacks on entire sectors of the Internet. My local Internet went completely offline for a while. So did Twitter. And other social media sites.
Are these understandable protests against Musk? Is this resistance against Trump? Or is this just terrorism against America?
There are many partisan people working in the federal government, especially in the executive branch. People placed there by Obama or Biden who consider it their mission to resist anything Trump does because Orange Man Bad. It is both their public and private thoughts on the matter, and they use their positions in the government to actively fight what Trump is doing now. They are reinstating people that Trump fired. They are leaking information on ICE raids against illegal alien gangs so the gangs can get away. They are sending millions, sometimes billions of dollars out to do things that Trump specifically directed not to do. These are just three examples of the resistance Trump faces right now.
The American people sent Trump to head the executive branch, to be President, to clean the government up. We want the waste and the fraud cut. It is one of the things we voted for, and it is one of the things that has majority support right now. The resistance wishes to stop this because the waste and fraud is where they get the money to do what they want. Push the agendas they want. Making certain boys can beat girls in girls sports. Figuring out how to turn animals gay or trans. Sending condoms to Gaza. Topless stripper parties at the White House. Starting wars in foreign lands. Throwing their political opposition in prison. You know. The little things.
We have to clean out the waste and fraud. We have to cut the corruption. It’s what America voted for. It’s what America supports right now if you look at the polls. It has to happen.
Because if the resistance stops it, if they do what the French monarchy did when the people demanded a change, if they refuse to hear the people sing, I’m very much afraid history will repeat itself. And I do not want that history to repeat itself here.
