The New Normal

sunbeam April 5, 2021 Comments Off

More and more people are waking up to the fact that fear of COVID-19 is being used to fundamentally transform America. First amendment liberties were stripped away across the country to fight a virus that is no more deadly than the flu. In fact, as more and more data comes out, it turns out that the only people who should be really concerned about this virus are the same people who are more susceptible to complications from the flu.

However, the left is not yet ready to give up.

(VIA CBS) “We’ve been told that this virus will disappear. But it will not,” Dr. William Schaffner, a professor at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and medical director of the National Foundation For Infectious Diseases, tells CBS News.

“We need to control it. We need to diminish its impact. But it’s going to be around hassling us for the foreseeable future. And by that I mean — years.”

[…] Schaffner says it would be best to give up the idea of going “back to normal,” and instead settle in for the “new normal” where COVID continues shaping our lives. (read more)

The Rise of Naziism

sunbeam April 1, 2021 Comments Off

Several times over the past year I have mentioned the striking parallels between the activities of the Democratic Party since Obama was elected and the rise of the Nazis in Germany during the 1920’s and 1930’s. These parallels are being noticed by more people. Steve McCann has produced two excellent columns over at American Thinker on this subject. I will be borrowing from his efforts here.

There is little doubt about the Nazi tactics being used by the left to fundamentally transform America from a constitutional republic into a socialist/communist state with one-party, totalitarian rule. The Democrats continue to try to exploit fears of “systemic racism” and “white supremacy” to advance their agenda of controlling the public just as the Nazis did almost a century ago. Witness the barbed wire enclosure of the Capitol in the face of a supposed imminent threat to the constitutional order of the country. Witness the charges of “insurrection” against people who peacefully protested the stealing of the 2020 election.

Minor Insanities

The Biden-Harris administration (yes, it’s official now. The Democrats are beginning the transition to a Harris Presidency) is shutting down the southwest end of the National Mall around the Tidal Basin during two-week peak cherry blossom time.

Why you might ask? It is being done so that the public will not walk around in the sunshine and fresh air to view the annual spectacle. Apparently cherry blossoms are a particularly nasty spreader of the COVID-19 virus (sarc).

The Jefferson, MLK and FDR memorials will also be closed to keep the public away from the nasty cherry blossoms.

California Real Estate Insanity

sunbeam March 24, 2021 Comments Off

You are in the market for a new home. You have scoured the area where you want to live. You find what you think will be your dream home. The buyer is anxious to sell but needs a cash sale in a short time frame. You scramble around to come up the cash and are successful. You close on the home. The money is transferred to the previous owner and you get ready to move in.

This was the situation for Tracie and Myles Albert after buying a home in Riverside, California. The sale closed on January 31, 2020. They have yet to be able to move in.

Is The End Of America Near?

sunbeam February 24, 2021 Comments Off

I have been writing for a long time about the usurping of Americans’ constitutional rights under the guise of a pandemic. The lockdowns, and other restrictive measures (no in-person religious services, no face-to-face schooling, wearing masks, etc.) is leading America to becoming a totalitarian state. The populace is being trained to submit to any and all dictates coming from our elected politicians. This is always couched inside the rhetoric of this being for one’s own good.

Naomi Wolf is an American liberal, feminist author, journalist and former political advisor to Al Gore and Bill Clinton. Wolf was an advisor to Bill Clinton’s successful run for a second term in 1996 for the Presidency. Wolf has written a number of books including the bestseller The End of America released in 2007.

This week Wolf appeared, believe it or not, on Tucker Carlson’s show. As Tucker noted, he’s sure she probably lost friends just for doing that. Such is the nature of the Cancel Culture in this country.

Why did she take this step which must have been fraught with trepidation for her? Even though she is someone who might be characterized as being on the Left, Wolf sees what is going on in the country as the precursor to a full-on police state. In her mind this transcends everything liberals and conservatives might disagree on. The people must unite to fight back against this appropriation of our liberties.

It’s Just A Mask

sunbeam February 13, 2021 Comments Off

This is a presentation by Mark Sargent that highlights very well so much of the nonsense going on in our country right now. It is common sense from start to finish. Unfortunately too many people remain clueless even after movements like defund the police went main stream.

Numerous studies have concluded that masks do not stop the spread of the virus. 85% of all people who contract COVID wore masks most of the time (15%) or all the time (70%). However, you do not hear this from the media. What you hear is that if you do not wear a mask, you are irresponsible, you are putting lives at risk, you are selfish.

The Reichstag Fire Of The Democrats

sunbeam February 12, 2021 Comments Off

This seems to be my week for visiting historical parallels. Daniel Greenfield has written an article for Frontpage Mag that does an excellent job of drawing parallels between the current actions of the Democratic Party and their allies and totalitarian governments of the past. I will be drawing liberally from the article.

You can read the entire article here.

Of course, historical parallels need not be controlling of future events. But, there is danger in failing to learn from the lessons of history. It is best to be prepared. The lessons that we derive from historical events is a highly recommended first step in that preparation.

While walls, razor wire, and military encampments rise outside the halls of government, inside them the Democrats have unleashed a true coup. Protesters have “stormed” Congress before, from both the Left and the Right, which cannot be called overthrowing the government. But Democrats began their own overthrow by launching an unconstitutional post-office impeachment of President Trump for speaking at a peaceful protest and a push to remove Senate members who objected to the stolen election by abusing the 14th Amendment.

The fake emergency has been extended to March. The FBI continues falsely claiming that there is some sort of threat that requires 7,500 soldiers to conduct a military occupation of the nation’s capital. The FBI’s claims that this threat would occur during “First Amendment-protected protests” has a massive credibility problem because there have been no protests in D.C.

By What Lawful Authority

As I mentioned yesterday, the current situation with the faux impeachment has historical analogies. Of particular note is the trial of King Charles I in England in the 17^th Century by radical members of Parliament. Oliver Cromwell was a prominent leader of Parliament who was directly engaged in the insurrection that defeated King Charles. And it was an insurrection.

While this is a long story involving multiple years of civil war in England, in the end the dispute was about powers that Parliament had versus the powers of the King.

One Priest’s Opinion About The Abyss We Face

sunbeam October 31, 2020 Comments Off

This is a must-see homily from Fr. Edward Meeks delivered at Christ the King parish in Towson, MD on 10/11/2020. Fr. Meeks talks about the abyss that we face here in America with this election. Fr. Meeks makes it clear that his first allegiance is not to any political candidate or party but rather to the word of God.
