Winsome Sears is my President

During the Virginia election, I had the pleasure of attending a veteran’s event where then-candidates Glenn Youngkin, Jason Miyares and Winsome Sears spoke. Youngkin was the typical, polished politician that one would expect, and his speech was as expected. Miyares, who I didn’t know a lot about, surprised me a bit by talking about his background, how his mom fled from Cuba to ensure a better life for her family. But by far the best speaker was Winsome Sears, a former Marine Corporal whose background and accomplishments would make a better story than 99% of the documentaries on Netflix.

Don’t take my word for it though…

Her speech at the veteran’s event got her a standing ovation, tons of laughs and the loudest applause out of the bunch. Since then, she hasn’t stopped, and she’s right on all the issues that matter.

She opposes CRT, but wants better education to lift more people up:

She has a moderate view on abortion. While it would be better to oppose abortion completely, I’ll take this over the euthanasia being allowed now:

The one view I think is very important is on prisons. The local TV station interviewed her after the campaign visiting a prison. The reporter asked why she was here, and she responded that prisoners “…are still my constituents, and I represent them as well as other Virginians.” This is a huge, underappreciated position that most Republicans are missing. Yes, its important to jail criminals, but what happens after they serve their sentence? If they have no way of righting wrongs and re-integrating with society, then they will simply return to a life of crime.

(I wish I could find this video, although I’m guessing Google black-holed it somewhere)

We saw this in Iraq after the invasion. Paul Bremer lead the effort to disband the Iraqi military and basically made it impossible to hire former Iraqi military members for any projects. All around Iraq, millions of dollars in investments were going to anyone, even foreigners, but not to any former Baath party members, even if the majority of them had joined simply because they had to and were happy to disavow any allegiance to Saddam Hussein. Not surprisingly, when different extremist groups came around and offered these former fighters pay so that they could feed their families, they signed up in droves, and we essentially created the next generation of terrorists.

After the most recent shooting in Richmond, Sears called for prosecuting criminals and actively going after gang activity, rather than grabbing guns.

(YouTube won’t let me embed the video, you’ll have to follow the link).

So yeah, Winsome Sears is my President. Maybe she can be the running mate for whomever wins the Republican nomination?

A Very Basic Question that some in the GOP Need to Answer:

The hair on fire commentary on the Trump indictment continues but for all the bluster from the left and NeverTrump on Trump as criminal or idiot and all the anger on the right over folks who steal election proving to be dishonest in other things not to mention the double standards being applied, there is one argument keeps getting advanced that I think is nonsense so I ask this question:

In what way does the Corrupt and dishonorable actions of the Biden Administration in moving forward on the indictment of President Trump automatically mean that Trump is the best qualified candidate for me to choose for the GOP nomination for president?

There are plenty of reasons to support Trump for the nomination, based on my analysis at the time of Biden Inauguration I had him ranked 4th among president behind Washington, Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt. Since then the revelations of the extraordinary steps taken to hinder his presidency have only added glow to his accomplishments in the sense that it makes it more extradentary that he accomplished anything let alone what he managed. On the minus side you have his failure to check Fauci and company which proved to be a huge mistake harmful for the nation. Taken in all I still rank him 4th or maybe even third all time and that kind of record is certainly a reason to vote for him.

But being oppressed by democrats and opposed by NeverTrump is not, particularly if there is a better alternative. If we are going to choose a nominee based on the unjust persecution by the Biden Administration then there are several pro-life Catholics and J6 Prisoners who deserve the nomination over Trump.

While there is not a GOP candidate in the race I can’t vote for and a few who I might vote for someday. At this moment my choice is between Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis. I’ve noted the case for Trump above and it’s a good one. Personally I’m leaning toward DeSantis on these grounds:

  1. His record on the state level is as impressive as Trump’s on the Federal one
  2. There is (fairly or unfairly) a group on uninformed Americans who will vote against Trump simply for being Trump (That’s not fair but neither is life) thus giving DeSantis a better chance of winning or at least making the election slightly harder to steal
  3. He can serve two terms if he wins in 2024
  4. While Trump is in fantastic shape for his age DeSantis is younger and less likely to physically decline in office.

DeSantis hasn’t closed the deal for me yet and Trump of course has his excellent record and his ability to bring out a base of excited voters in his favor, most votes every in history other than one candidate whose “magic ballots” that appear after midnight are still suspect. As I’ve said before Trump vs DeSantis as the nominee is like choosing between Ted Williams & Stan Musial to start in left for your team. Both are excellent players with excellent records and proven results but different styles it’s a question of which one is likely to help your current team win a particular game.

It’s not going to be because the Biden Administration are a bunch of corrupt asses and choose to act as such, nor to piss of the left and Never Trump, and anyways given their temperament they’ll be pissed off anyways. Even the most milquetoast GOP candidate can do it.

I’d feel comfortable voting for either of these men in the primary or the general but when I make my decision it’s going to be based on my judgement on which candidate is the best for the job and most likely to win period, and frankly you should too and if my judgement is different than yours, that’s OK.

Why is Anyone Surprised?

Jesus Christ: A good tree does not bear rotten fruit, nor does a rotten tree bear good fruit.

Luke 6:43

All kinds of things are being written about both the Trump indictment and the revelations about the Biden’s that it was meant to hide.

All I have to say is this: You mean to say that people who would steal a national election are willing to use the power that they stole in dishonest and dishonorable ways?

I’m shocked SHOCKED.

Oh and for those who insist the election wasn’t stolen because of the court rulings let me remind you that by that Standard:

  1. Al Capone was not a gangster
  2. OJ Was not a killer
  3. Blacks were not oppressed in the deep south during Jim Crow

The Biden Regime is planning on placing all aspects of life under direct federal control to fight the plague of loneliness

Vivek Murthy, the Surgeon General under Joe Biden, issued one of the most alarming and tyrannical proposals ever issued by any federal government official.  This proposal, which is intended to combat our nonexistent plague of loneliness and isolation, is the type of madness that would be all too common is North Korea, Communist China, or the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin. 

Most of us have not heard of this insane proposal,  I would not have if it wasn’t for this article: To Address Loneliness, The Feds Want To Control Your Friends (thefederalist.com)

US. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy recently released an advisory titled “Our Epidemic of Loneliness and Isolation.” It warns that social isolation is a major public health problem. The 81-page document presents six government-directed “pillars” of action to address the health hazards of social isolation.

On the surface, these six directives may look innocuous, but they present a clear and present danger to the autonomy of our private lives and relationships. The project is potentially so massive in scope that it’s not an overstatement to say it threatens to regulate our freedom of association in ways we never could have imagined.

This proposal is the most unconstitutional proclamation ever issued by any administration.  It turns the Constitution completely on its head,  reaching down to control aspects of life that no other administration ever dreamed of controlling. 

The Constitution does not grant the federal government the authority to regulate any aspect of life inside any state.  The federal government granted itself that authority when it grossly distorted the plain meaning of the Interstate Commerce Clause.  Look at how far this proposal strays from the original meaning of the Constitution.

The first stated goal is to “strengthen social infrastructure in local communities.” It defines “social infrastructure” as the regular events and institutions that make up community life, and says the federal government should both fund local organizations and direct how they’re structured, including their locations. This can only mean that all local communities must answer to the federal bureaucracy in the quest to strengthen social connections among people.

The advisory warns that participation is mandatory if the plan is to work: “It will take all of us — individuals, families, schools, and workplaces, health care and public health systems, technology companies, governments, faith organizations, and communities — working together…”

This next article, Feds Sketch Blueprint For Regulating Everyone’s Private Life (thefederalist.com), documents just how utterly tyrannical this proposal is.

The advisory foreshadows an unprecedented invasion of private spaces by the federal government that could completely undermine our most fundamental freedoms. If fully implemented, the project could place the federal government in de facto control of your local community and social associations of every kind. It also threatens to dictate what you can say, what values you should have, and what associations are acceptable. It seems poised to reinforce that control with surveillance.

The project also calls for mass compliance with leftist agenda items embedded within the report. Here’s a choice quote: “government has a responsibility to use its authority to monitor and mitigate the public health harm caused by policies, products and services that drive social disconnection. … Diversity, equity, inclusion, [DEI] and accessibility are critical components of any such strategy.” This can only result in the perpetuation of social hostilities and coercion inherent in DEI policies.

Stolen elections most definitely have the most negative consequences.  If this is actually implemented, there is no turning back.  Unfortunately I have no faith that the Republican Party will lift a single finger to fight this tyranny.
