A totalitarian state is in effect a theocracy, and its ruling caste, in order to keep its position, has to be thought of as infallible. But since, in practice, no one is infallible, it is frequently necessary to rearrange past events in order to show that this or that mistake was not made, or that this or that imaginary triumph actually happened. Then, again, every major change in policy demands a corresponding change of doctrine and a revaluation of prominent historical figures. ~ George Orwell, The Prevention of Literature, Polemic (1946)

RULES TO TEACH YOUR SON/S (of which I have three)
1. Never shake a man’s hand sitting down. 2. Don’t enter a pool by the stairs. 3. The man at the BBQ Grill is the closest thing to a king. 4. In a negotiation, never make the first offer. 5. Request the late check-out. 6. When entrusted with a secret, keep it. 7. Hold your heroes to a higher standard. 8. Return a borrowed car with a full tank of gas.

THE TOTALITARIAN ENEMY WITHIN – and add on the ones that are missing, MSNBC; CBS; DRUDGE REPORT; etc
My guess is that most thinking people are already sick of the media’s attempt to foist this latest totalitarian left-wing lunacy upon us. The massive, coordinated effort in order to gaslight we the public on this is breathtaking.
No doubt the Left is loving this, but normal people have to be thinking very dark thoughts. A quick look at Drudge and it is clear the media completely detached themselves from reality.
Speaking of Drudge, what in the world happened to that site? I deleted the book mark back in the 2016 campaign, as I got sick of the anti-Trump stuff he ran every day, but my goodness, that site is garbage now … Maybe his lifestyle has finally caught up with him. Whatever the reason, his site is unreadable at this point. It’s a hysterical version of the New York Times.

RULES TO TEACH YOUR SON.
9. Play with passion or don’t play at all… 10. When shaking hands, grip firmly and look them in the eye. 11. Don’t let a wishbone grow where a backbone should be. 12. If you need music on the beach, you’re missing the point. 13. Carry two handkerchiefs. The one in your back pocket is for you. The one in your breast pocket is for her. 14. You marry the girl, you marry her family. 15. Be like a duck. Remain calm on the surface and paddle like crazy underneath. 16. Experience the serenity of traveling alone.

TALKING ABOUT THE DARK SIDE…
Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California holding the gavel used to “we’ve got to pass it before we know what’s in it” nonsensical Medicare Reform – which was fine, thank you very much, and should’ve been left alone – laughs like a hyena as she walks across the street and into the U.S. Capitol as the House prepared to vote on the reform bill, Sunday, March 21, 2010.

Gavel has since been used to beat working-class taxpayers over the head with amnesty and totalitarian cap and trade. In other words – Suck it up and LEARN TO LIKE IT… DemoMarxocrats still dangerous to a constitutional republic – dark days rising indeed.

FROM AN INTERVIEW GIVEN BY DAVID BYRNE IN 1979: There will be chronic food shortages and gas shortages and people will live in hovels. Paradoxically, they’ll be surrounded by computers the size of wrist watches. Calculators will be cheap. It’ll be as easy to hook up your computer with a central television bank as it is to get the week’s groceries. I think we’ll be cushioned by amazing technological development and sitting on Salvation Army furniture.
[Think, well, Portland, Oregon; San Francisco; Los Angeles; Baltimore; St. Louis; Chicago; South Dallas; Detroit; New Orleans… endless. Open sewers, human feces, needles… remember, this prediction was back in 1979!
But I digress – there’s more!]
Everything else will be crumbling. Totalitarian Government surveillance becomes inevitable because there’s this dilemma when you have an increase in information storage which is mostly for your convenience; but as more information gets on file it’s bound to be misused.[end]
Thanks to DemoMarxocrat peanut-farmer Jimmy Carter, ranking as one of the very worst United States presidents, along with the recently-departed #44 … [continue reading…]
Which leads us to the end of the tale – HILLARY AND BILLARY CAN RUN – BUT THEY CAN’T HIDE…

So take heart, my dear friends, that we have a God on the throne who knows exactly what he’s doing:
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. ~ Matthew 10:28-31
