Never Bored of the Rings

Lord of the Rings

We watched this series this week from home. Every time is a different experience as you catch little things you missed in earlier views. This time is was so real and full of references that were all too real. Look at what America has been thru for the last 8 years. Now a 36 trillion dollar national debt, rampant inflation, wars, corruption, greed, lawfare, lethal vaccines, soaring health care costs, politicians becoming millionaires while in office, assassination attempts, riots, looting, crime, open borders, 500,000 missing immigrant children, sexual mutilation of minors…….

By now you get the picture, and the people who were elected to try to fix all of this are being vilified by the same people who created and or abetted this chaos. This is good versus evil folks, just like in Lord of the Rings. All it takes to make a difference, are a few brave and committed people to save what is good about America and the World. We now have that and need to see this battle for what it is and put it in the proper context.

Time to choose sides, fence sitting and too many shades of gray will only give us more of the same. Silence is complicity. Know the enemy within.

Wisdom From Tucker

In many ways, humans are simple.
We need food. We love sex. And we craft our behavior based on incentives. 
This starts at a young age. When children misbehave, their parents punish them. When they act properly, they receive rewards. This incentivizes the children to be good, which in turn makes their parents’ lives easier. 
Leaders must understand this dynamic to be effective. Whether they’re running a family, a school, a company, or a country, the people in charge should always give those beneath them a reason to help create harmony. That’s what’s best for everybody, whether they’re at the top of the hierarchy or the bottom. 
Unfortunately, much of America’s leadership class fails to grasp this simple concept. The Daniel Penny story is a glaring example. 
When Alvin Bragg tried to slap the Marine veteran with a life sentence for preventing a belligerent and out-of-control subway rider from harming his fellow riders, he incentivized New Yorkers to act as bystanders in the face of public violence. Penny refused to do that, and he wound up in a courtroom. Given that precedent, why would any members of the public risk their freedom by intervening in a similar situation? Bragg created no incentive to do so.
Such negligence has consequences. On Christmas Eve, an unhinged lunatic plunged a knife into a woman’s throat in Grand Central Station, nearly viciously ending her life on the cold, hard floors of America’s largest city. Grand Central is one of the world’s busiest public transportation hubs, so the attack had plenty of witnesses. How did they react? Did they do whatever was required to stop the attacker? 
No. According to the victim, not a single witness came to her aid. They “just froze,” she reportedly said. The knife-wielder stabbed another passerby just a few moments later.
A functioning society cannot exist this way. The public must feel safe to stop psychopaths from murdering their fellow citizens without fear of prosecution. Incentivizing complicity can only lead to more chaos. Unless that’s what our leaders seek, they must immediately alter their strategy. If they don’t, the country’s streets will continue to devolve into anarchist hellscapes where the deranged can target the innocent with no fear of being stopped.

Democrats Don’t Transfer Power Peacefully – LewRockwell

After the inauguration of President George W. Bush on January 20, 2001, many new White House aides excitedly showed up for work the next day only to find their office spaces vandalized and trashed.  Phone cords were ripped from walls.  Bathrooms were littered and disgusting.  Mirrors were broken.  Chair backs were missing.  Desk drawers were covered in glue.  Desk locks were destroyed.  The “W” keys were removed from computer keyboards.  This was the Democrats’ idea of a “peaceful transfer of power.” Oh, President Clinton’s staffers had their reasons.  After Vice President Al Gore decided to renege on his election night concession to President-Elect Bush, he created the conditions for irreparable … Continue reading →
