I think we forget the nature of violent oppression that The Founding Father’s suffered.
An absolute Monarchy coupled with an constitution of England
‘…so exceedingly complex, that the nation may suffer for years together without being able to discover in which part the fault lies; some will say in one and some in another, and every political physician will advise a different medicine…’
made redress impossible and life intolerable.
The quartering of troops must have been the very worst part of all, no peace, no privacy, the fruits of your labor divided by whim on threat of deadly force in the privacy of your own home.
Divide your table, your larder, your rooms, your fire, your beds, everything.
Imagine having a beautiful daughter, or several, as My Best Girl and I do.

I’m surprised the 3rd Amendment wasn’t the 1st.
‘The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind.
Many circumstances have, and will arise, which are not local, but universal, and through which the principles of all lovers of mankind are affected, and in the event of which their affections are interested.
The laying a country desolate with fire and sword, declaring war against the natural rights of all mankind, and extirpating the defenders thereof from the face of the earth, is the concern of every man to whom nature hath given the power of feeling; of which class, regardless of party censure.’

In Canada the youth are beginning to appreciate what a decade of liberal govt has done. I don’t see a fiery spirit anymore from anyone wishing to right the listing ship. I believe that most are now aware that the damage is insurmountable. I can only pray for my children’s future.

The most terrible part is that most of the woke are white women.

Most of the young women today are woke and that alone may doom the West. I know several who are not but I fear there are not enough of them for the future of our people.

What about survival of the fittest? How does that fit in here?
That is part of what we are experiencing I believe. Hopefully we can wake enough of the young before it is too late. The world is in a dangerous place now, much worse than the Cold War when we were young. Fittest can mean many different things so you can overcome greater physical numbers if your weapons are powerful enough and you are willing to use them. Weapons doesn’t have to mean of war, but can be education and proper awareness of the potential future problems and their solutions.

“Speaking to Israel’s Army Radio, Eliyahu confirmed Israel used on-the-ground agents during last year’s 12-day war with Iran, adding that similar operatives remain active during the country’s current crisis.
Jackson had a strong defensive position, short front, Mississippi River on his right, swamp on his left, and a solid dirt/timber wall to shoot from. It was basically unflankable, and the waterways did not give the Brits any good routes to go around, with cannon in smaller boats.
The Brit plan to land on the opposite bank and flank Jackson with cannon was poorly executed, and some of the USA defense points on that bank held firm, despite others having to fall bank.
The Brits attacked Jackson’s wall, marching rank and file, and were rebuffed with significant losses in each attempt.
There were also lots of other defenders aside from the Tennessee militia, including people from New Orleans, and some pirates who brought cannons from their ships, which they knew how to use.
The battle was fought after a peace treaty had been signed in Europe.

New in Civitas Outlook: “Eliminating Liberal International Asymmetries” | Josh Blackman, 1.9.2026 8:51 AM
“The effect, if not purpose, of modern international law is to obstruct American conservative foreign policy.”
And from the conclusion:
Thus, there is an asymmetry. A Democrat in the White House will find these international institutions to support his progressive agenda. If anything, international liberal groups are further to the left than their American counterparts in many regards. But a Republican in the White House will always be at odds with these international entities. Thankfully, President Trump is eliminating these liberal international asymmetries.
“Demagoguery and religious deception have always been tools of survival for the clerical regime. In times of crisis, these tools are deployed more aggressively. Regime clerics attempt to cloak political terror in religious language, transforming fear of uprising into a metaphysical threat. Yet this behavior itself is further evidence of panic.

“The criticism centers on the risk of a massive influx of South American products, particularly beef, which is seen as unfair competition for French farmers. Beef produced in Brazil or Argentina is significantly cheaper than European beef, due to lower production costs (land, labor, animal feed) and less stringent health and environmental regulations (the use of pesticides and antibiotics).”

Regime clerics attempt to cloak political terror in religious language, transforming fear of uprising into a metaphysical threat. Yet this behavior itself is further evidence of panic.
The greatest betrayal of religious belief has come from these very clerics. For forty years, they justified lies, crimes, and repression in the name of religion. Faith was turned into a marketplace for power, plunder, and control. Now that political and social legitimacy has collapsed, the same religious façade has become a shelter for fear.”
