A Letter to Victims Ready to Become Proud Survivors

Even Democrats are predicting that the November mid-terms will be a bloodbath for many of their candidates. Their programs and policies aren’t working. Their decisions are destroying our economy, our freedoms, and our future. Until now, all they needed to stay in office were repeated promises, unchecked by the mainstream media, to give the illusion of caring for you.

Unfortunately for President Biden, his failures are too numerous and visible to avoid. All you need to do is buy gas at your local gas station to know the cost of their policies. If you don’t have a car, try buying the food you need for your family at your local market. Watch illegal aliens stream into the country and be bused to cities across the country. Many are fine people, but by overwhelming our border they will be taking your jobs and requiring healthcare and welfare from local governments. Criminals are having their way in far too many big cities, and woke DAs are refusing to prosecute even repeat offenders. Do you support these policies?

Now, let’s get personal. Democrats have worked decades to train far too many Americans that they are “victims” of a biased system designed to keep them down. If you are a racial minority, they claim that there is “white privilege” and “systemic racism” that blocks your way. If you are a woman, they claim that men have conspired to keep you a second-class citizen subject to job and wage discrimination. The list of victim categories could take up the rest of this column. Certainly, there are racist incidents and tough obstacles every group faces, but there are many role models—people like you who have succeeded in spite of such biases. You don’t have to remain a victim.

Yes, there are benefits to being a victim. Caring people will elect politicians and give donations to non-profits committed to making your life easier. Why? Because they harbor an underlying belief—you are a victim who can’t succeed without their help. Make you mad to hear that? I hope it does. Democrats say they support you, but they certainly do not believe you are capable of taking responsibility for yourself or your family. To be elected, they need victims and enablers who believe creating government dependency is helping you.

No matter what type of “victim” you call yourself, you also pay a price living out that label. In fact, the label itself puts your focus on the very things that can keep you a victim. Instead of trying to find a job, you must put time into securing support. If you work too much, you will find your subsidies reduced. Such thinking and efforts keep you from learning that you can take responsibility for your own life and succeed.

If you are tired of settling for government crumbs that barely allow you to get by every month, start by talking to yourself differently. No matter what you have faced, you do not have to be defined by that experience. if you are still alive, you are not a lasting victim. You are a resourceful survivor. Be proud of your resilience in taking back your life.

Sandy Ritz said it best, “I believe that we need to reframe ‘disaster victims’ into ‘disaster survivors.’ The label of ‘victim’ connotes constant suffering. Being repeatedly addressed as a victim encourages feelings of helplessness and despondency. Not to mention shame. The term ‘survivor’ better describes someone who endures, lives through it, persists, and succeeds. Being a victim is passive–feeling powerless, with little faith or hope. Being a survivor is active–regaining control of their lives.”

Do you want to remain a victim or are you ready to be a survivor who finds a way to succeed?

If Republicans win big in November, they will work to limit government entitlements because they have a different way of “caring” for you. Like most Americans, they know there always needs to be short-term help available locally to help those facing unfortunate challenges. But long-term free government subsidies can trap you. Conservatives want you to become self-reliant and self-confident in your God-given gifts and ability to live your own American Dream. That’s right, this is the country where dreams still come true for those willing to work hard to achieve it. Think about those you know who have succeeded in spite of the biases they faced. Face the challenge. The best way to fight back against any racism is to succeed anyway. Learn from those who have done just that. Become one of them.

It won’t be easy. When you begin to trade dependence for personal responsibility, it may cost you. Your initial paychecks may not match what you can now get from government support. Progress will be gradual, and each step will require resolve. You believe you are worth more than minimum wage. Prove it! Pick where you want to work. Let them know you are willing to start where you are needed but that you expect to advance. Let your performance provide the evidence.

I mentored a single mother through that very challenge. Initially, working part time, she received a small raise that cut her benefits by more than the raise she received. She was disappointed but confidently said, “I’m not going back!” She stayed the course, and now has her own business training barbers and stylists how to get certified and succeed in their own businesses.

America’s amazing founding fathers envisioned a country where all citizens were guaranteed “the pursuit of happiness,” not happiness dumped in their laps. Benjamin Franklin reviled the welfare system of King George’s England. He wrote, “There [was] no country in the world in which the poor [were] more idle, dissolute, drunken, and insolent.” Franklin noted that by offering “a premium for the encouragement of idleness,” (the English system created) “an increase in poverty.” He preferred the American welfare model, whose purpose was “not making [the poor] easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it.” For over two centuries we have maintained a country where citizens were required to earn their American Dream.

Let me ask the question again, “Do you want to remain a victim or are you ready to be a resilient and resourceful survivor who finds a way to succeed?” Most American are ready to applaud and support your efforts to do just that no matter what your race, gender, or age!

A Day of Infamy: The Orchestrated, Unlawful Trump Indictment

The raw stink of the Biden Administration will linger for the rest of American history

Published

Jeff Davidson

So, starting before he took office, after seven years of the Left trying pin something, anything, on Donald Trump, he is indicted over NOTHING. This occurring less than 300 days away from the Iowa Republican caucuses, the acknowledged start of events leading up to the 2024 U.S. presidential and congressional elections.

The raw stink of the Biden Administration will linger for the rest of American history: The indictment is an act of political war, nothing less, and a day of infamy on par with many in our history.

The obsession of the Left continues to be “get Trump,” as if that will seal the 2024 election for them, as they know they will be quite vulnerable. Unlike 2022, the GOP could take the Senate and retain the House. Several states will elect Republican governors, some for the first time in a long time.

Not to be a ‘Doubting Thomas,’ we all have memories of the 2020 and 2022 elections. For anyone to proclaim that the 2020 election was the most secure election in history is simply a gross lie. Mark Zuckerberg and his drop boxes alone yielded a five-state swing for Biden which would have been Trump’s and would have easily given Trump a huge Electoral College majority.

Refining Their Techniques

Because 2024 is a national election and the Democrats have refined their techniques, in addition to the bogus indictment, the election fraud in which they will engage could be far more difficult to discern than in previous years. The cheating will occur in all 50 states, at the regional level, and at the local level. It will once again include everything from forging ballots to late ballots to double counting ballots to destroying ballots for the opposing side.

In any case, we must head into this election sternly. The election monitors must be as vigilant as ever before. Don’t allow anybody to usher you out of the room. Don’t allow anyone to use newspapers or posters to cover windows so that transactions on the floor cannot be seen.

Finish the election on time on the same day. Be on guard for those late-arriving packages of goodies (ballots) that invariably reward Democrats and consistently penalize Republicans.

A Looming Doomsday Scenario

What about the disaster where we do not take the Senate? This could spell a grave period for America, as it will be a painstakingly long time ‘til the 2026 and 2028 elections. Even then, Democratic cheating might still prevail.

We must brace ourselves if we do not take the Senate and especially if we somehow lose the House. At that point, it will be time for massive, peaceful resistance in highly public ways to let it be known that this kind of assault on democracy will not stand.

It is time to engage in the practices of the Left, however vile we have regarded their practices over the years – blocking roads and disrupting meetings. It is time to dominate school board meetings and all public forums of every type.

We must make our voices be heard in ways that we have not previously attempted.

Why is the GOP Squeamish?

Why are Republicans, and those who vote as such, traditionally reticent to get down and dirty? For one, we have jobs; personal and professional responsibilities. Do Antifa members? One wonders. We have families. We manage households. We do the work that keeps America going, not to say that some Democrats don’t do the same. However, let’s face it: Democrats include almost all convicts, a huge portion of the unemployed and underemployed, the brunt of the entitlement class, and those who would rather tear down the country than do anything else.

The Left includes most of Hollywood, academia, the complicit media, and Big Tech, whose methods for manipulating what really transpires on the web goes beyond what we can imagine, although, on a massive scale, we sense what’s occurring.

The Highest of High Stakes

We need to take back the country. The stakes are too high to play Mr. Nice Guy. Is there any point in standing by as the United States is systematically destroyed? The Trump indictment, more than ever, signals that we might not survive the decade:

The inflation rate, the crime rate, the massive numbers of people pouring over the border, the growing drug crisis, the massive foreign policy failures, the gargantuan national debt, the supply chain disruption, the transportation disasters and boondoggles, the rate at which children are being brainwashed and sexualized, and the sheer incidence of all things bad accelerating, on all fronts, could prove to be too much to bear.

The clock is ticking. There is no time to dillydally. We must batten down the hatches, or prepare to live in a police state.

Did Wokeness Kill SVB?

Published

Why did Silicon Valley Bank fail?

The answer is simple. They cared more about ‘equity’ and ‘inclusion’ in the investment decisions they made that they did about liquidity an interest rates. They cared more about the people involved in the deals they backed checking all the identity politics boxes that they did about them being actually competent and able to grow and sustain a business.

Businesses exist to solve problems in the marketplace. They don’t exist to push wacky left-wing social engineering theories. The honchos at SVB cared more about diversifying the identity of their borrowers and investees than they do about diversifying their portfolio.

This is the EVIL of ESG and what it does to people’s wealth and finances. Companies like Blackrock who are pushing this nonsense are the enemies of capitalism and freedom. Caring more about so called Environmental, Social, and Governance ratings than shareholder value and financial performance is negligence and malpractice rolled into one.

We can no longer remain on the sidelines as the woke trash our companies and bully them into complying with their crazy and demented vision of society. We need to push back agains the woke, and find the companies that are not woke and reward them with massive spending and loyalty for angering to traditional patriotic American values.

We need a parallel economy of patriots and patriotic to support, and to defund the EVIL LEFT and the companies that lack the courage to stand up to them. Complaining about these woke companies isn’t enough. We all must show leadership and support conservative and patriotic companies that provide viable alternatives to the woke liberal companies destroying our country and values. Cancel culture can cut both ways. We can DEFUND the weak, feckless, cowardly companies that are embracing woke-ism, and at the same time, FUND the companies that are embracing patriotism and American exceptionalism.

Wayne Allyn Root and I have spent over 3 years researching and putting together list of the most patriotic companies in America, and we have put it out in a brilliant new book, “The Great Patriot BUY-cott Book.”

It’s a list of 123 patriotic companies and media firms to support, buy from, and divert your dollars toward, so that you’re not spending money with companies that hate you and your values anymore.

Conservatives have a real opportunity to vote with our wallets! Let’s make every dollar count and get right to it!

We have put together a Designation, the “Free CorpTM”, which has six categories for determining where a company stands on values that matter to its patriotic customer base. We call this the “Freedom Scale.”

These are:

Political Involvement — Do they stick to business, or are they virtue signalling and supporting leftist causes? Scoring is on a 1 to 5 Scale, 1 being they are virtue signalling and cravenly caving to the woke mob, and 5 is that they refuse to be bullied and tell the woke mob to go to hell.
Political donations — To which political candidates and causes do they donate? Do they donate to woke, liberal and Marxist organizations and candidates — such as BLM, Media Matters, the ACLU, the Democrat Party, and Planned Parenthood — or to patriotic and conservative ones — the GOP, RNC, MAGA, NRA, National Right to Life, Project Veritas, etc.? Scoring is on a 1 to 5 Scale, 1 is they give exclusively to woke causes and 5 is they give exclusively to patriot ones.
Workplace culture — Is their workplace culture one that embraces freedom or is it poisoned by political correctness? Do they promote freedom and free expression at work, or are some opinions more equal than others? Do they pressure their employees to toe the woke line: pro-child grooming, pro-denying biology, pro-socialism and Marxism, pro-shutting down free speech…versus pro-family, pro-God, pro-biology, pro-free speech, pro-capitalism?
Marketing messaging — Are the marketing messages of the company steeped in pro-USA and American exceptionalism rhetoric, or are they heinously woke and anti-human and pro-scarcity? Do they celebrate America and freedom, or do they denigrate her and crap all over liberty?
Hiring policies for employees and vendors — Does the company hire the best man or woman for the job, or do they engage in woke racism and favor anyone but conservatives and straight, white males? Do they treat all employees and vendors as equals, or do they explicitly engage in harsh bigotry against conservatives and straight, white males?
Commitment to freedom in society — Does the company stand for American values, or has it been frightened into toeing the woke line? Do its political donations go to freedom-loving causes and organizations, as well as MAGA and non-establishment Republicans, or does it donate to woke, intolerant, and radical organizations (like BLM and Antifa), and Democrats and RINOS (Republicans-in-name-only)?

This “Freedom Scale” will be used to help patriotic consumers determine whether a company deserves their patronage.

Now to the book, “The Great Patriot BUY-cott Book!” We are proud of what we believe in. The media derisively calls us “far-right.” We know exactly what that means — “so far, we’ve always been right!”

By the way, there is nothing “far-right” about our views. On every issue we believe in, polls show we are in the “Silent Majority.” Most Americans are either “center-right” or so-called “far-right.”

This book will start with chapters outlining what we believe in and what we believe patriots across America believe in. If you agree, if this sounds like you, then take action and buy from companies with similar beliefs and values, run by people who support our conservative and patriotic candidates and causes.

After those opening chapters that define what we stand for, then the list begins! We list 123 companies and media brands that we have determined are fellow patriots. BUY from them, support them, praise them, and pray for them.

It’s time to stand up for America and the patriotic companies that stand with us.

God bless these companies, God bless patriots like you, and God bless America.
