A Senator lied to me; and Old and New, and a War Prayer...

 Amici,

I had written to my Congressman (Steve Stivers) and Senator (Rob Portman) about supporting a careful count in the Senate and challenging electoral votes. Portman has actually written me back in a polite "boilerplate" response about although we're all disappointed, we have to accept the vote and move on, etc.; i.e., his office wrote:

The presidential election was contentious and hard fought. Roughly half of America was bound to be disappointed with the outcome. My hope is that all of us, as Americans, regardless of who we supported in the campaign, will be willing to accept the result because a thorough process was followed and the final vote count was clear.

This highlighted bit is a lie. I've been lied to by my senatorial representative. Outright. In my face (not "to my face, ahem, because it was an email). That, or Portman is an utter idiot. The only "thorough" process was the theft! And the final vote was ANYTHING but clear! Portman is, alas, either a fool or a tool. He must be primaried. (I'll try a polite response when I'm not so angry. Always be polite with these people, especially in these post-Reichstag Fire days.)

Yet at least his office did write me back. However, they also included this paragraph:

I also want to commend and congratulate Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose, the county boards of elections, and the more than 50,000 Ohio poll workers for conducting a safe, secure, and transparent election in Ohio. It was not easy in the midst of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and I am grateful for their efforts.

This is important, actually. Praising Ohio's handling of the vote. Florida handled it well, too, as did a number of states. We have to work on this, promoting it within Ohio (I saw a headline where they just purged some 97,775 inactive voters from the rolls) and BE VERY CAREFUL because the Democrats will be trying to force national election laws through that turn the whole nation into Philadelphia.

What we're facing is a "war of position" (as opposed to a "war of movement"). We have to fight in trenches, inch by inch. It is a grueling kind of fight. World War I come again. But that's what we've gotten ourselves into because the Communists have been fighting a "war of position" for over 70 years as they've moved through the institutions. It's grim. But there it is.

Under the OLD heading, I'd say, in the way of a Trump Presidency after action report:

1. Trump's first mistake was not firing Comey and much if not all of the staff of the FBI within an hour of taking the oath of office. He had every excuse to say, "As Hillary herself has said, Comey cost her the election by his bad handling of her hidden email server case, so I'm firing him forthwith." How could the Democrats complain? (They would have, of course, anyway, but so what?) Had Trump done that, he'd have kept Gen'l Flynn, and history would have been very different.
2. Relieving the top echelons of the Department of Justice was equally as important, as well, down to those "government" employees that can't easily be fired; those he should have ordered transferred to far outposts. (Do we have any hidey-holes in Kamchatka?)
   
3. Trump should have been extremely careful to tell all the people he brought in: "Under no circumstances are any of you to enter into any conversation, interview with, or have general discussion involving ANYONE in the larger government without White House counsel present. Period. Trust NO ONE in the Deep State (or the Media). We're here to clean Washington out and they all know that, so they'll be laying traps."
4. He should have, after his election and before his inauguration, consulted with conservative historians and former Cabinet officials and judges about who within any Administration had the most power, were most significant, most dangerous and potentially the most needed in a cat fight. They would have told him the WH Chief of Staff and the Attorney General. Then the Defense Secretary. Then the Secretary of State and others would come below that. So he should have done his utmost to have a ruthless but absolutely loyal Chief of Staff and the same for Attorney General. Of course the Senate wouldn't want to confirm such, but so what? Hold their feet to the fire till they gave in. Those positions were too important to pass off to political hacks like Jeff Sessions (who after decades in the Senate had done almost NOTHING of note.

In none of these bullet points did Trump seem to do what needed to be done. On the very slim chance there's ever another Republican or Nationalist president, he or she must take close heed to this counsel.

Under the NEW heading, I'd say:

• It is never over over until Gabriel sounds his horn, but who among us has the energy to fight? Even were I still residing in Ohio, I'm over 60 and "worn out" in many ways. However, there are plenty of people my age, and older and younger, who WILL fight. Some of them in government (Devin Nunes and Jim Jordan, to name just two who have been there fighting for the past four years (we need to replace Portman with Jordan!), and some of the new Congresspeople just brought in. There are also plenty outside of government, like My Pillow's excellent Mike Lindell. (That guy is quite a patriot, my friends. Support him.) We must support these.
• But also, most significantly, we must realize younger people have been trained – educated – to be clueless. We must NEVER forget the Great Dumbing Down that's been going on for at least three generations.
• That's true in the Church, as you-all know. Were it not for my mother and her excellent Catholic education (she graduated in 1932), and had I not discovered by accident both G.K.Chesterton and C.S. Lewis in high school (and later, Catholic Answers, but that was decades later), I would be as clueless about things ecclesiastical as any average 20 to 50 something "Joe Catholic."
• And therefore as I had to self-educate in all thing "Church" and "Christianity", so I had to do so regarding American history, etc. Such massive "dumbing down" had to be intentional. The takeover was planned three generations or more ago. (I'm sure you-all know about Bella Dodd; well, she had her counterparts in all educational things secular.) 
  

So that's where we're at.

War PRAYER

Rehoboam has come again, Rehoboam and Jeroboam, Ahab and Manasseh, Amon and Jehoikim and Zedekiah. Whether God provides us with a Hezekiah or Josiah, I don't know. 

So...

• For those so inclined to engage in prayer, we must pray against the new administration's goals (the "Joebama" Admin, as Sundance so rightly calls it, as it is just a retread of the Obama Administration, with a Potemkin leader). We must pray it fails in every undertaking (such as their planned destruction of the U.S. economy that Sundance details at the link). Pray for the conversion of the people, but damnation to their goals.
• Truly? Yes! We must pray that the Lord God treats the JoeBama Administration as the thieves, liars and murderers (baby killers/worshipers of Moloch and Xochipilli) they are -- for that is what they are. And indeed, they've broken every one of the Ten Commandments.
  

1. They dishonor God and worship idols (whether their Communist ideology or just themselves) so they break the First Three Commandments.
   
2. They break the Fourth by dishonoring their parents and all elderly via stealing the latters' votes, or having them vote when they're dead, or sending Covid-infected ill people into their rest homes to kill them off. Certainly the old – being as they usually are the repository of ideas of former times such a patriotism, religious faith, and honor – must be removed as soon as possible. Hence their attitude toward the elderly.
   
3. They break the Fifth Commandment, killing babies and taking jobs away from working men and women (to give them to the Chinese, who have paid them under the table to do so) so that these blue color folk commit suicide or die by opiates. Ever and always we must support all politicians who are truly Pro-Life and against Abortion, but also keeping manufacturing jobs in the U.S. is Pro-Life in this way of giving working people hope and meaning. (Also, WEALTH isn't money; it's manufactured things, material things, and by transferring our manufacturing to China, the Democrats and Uniparty-RINOs were literally impoverishing and destroying the United States. It is Hellishly evil on many levels.)
   
4. They break the Sixth Commandment in too many ways even to begin to count, AND via their control of Entertainment, they teach others to do so, echoing Romans 1:32. 
5. They break the Seventh by stealing the election, and with it the entire country! They are in the process of handing the country over to the Chinese Communists as well as hundreds of thousands of Meso-American peasants. They also steal via heavy taxes.
   
6. And of course they "covet" WILDLY things that don't belong to them, especially the property and the other fruits of those who labored in the hope of keeping what they garnered and passing it on to their children.
   
7. And perhaps worst of all, they teach others to covet as well, as Socialism/Communism does nothing so much as it instills covetousness, true envy, of what others have. Indeed, envy is the emotion infamous for bringing no sort of good to anyone whatsoever, yet envy is the single most powerful and worshiped evil that all Socialism produces.
   

So we must pray for the failure of such evil people.

Amen to that!

Under the Mercy!
