Thank you Tulsi, that was fantastic. Like you, I served this nation for more than 23 years, spending Christmases sleeping in foreign lands, away from friends and family, being shot at by people who meant it, and doing it all for less money than my civilian counterparts. Now the FBI has added me to their enemies list for the secular sin of being Catholic.
On January 23, 2023, the FBI released a document on "Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists" and their interests in “Radical-Traditionalist Catholics” or RTCs. Apparently, Catholics who prefer the Latin Mass are more likely to hold traditional views that amount to an “adherence to anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBTQ and white supremacist ideology.” The document goes on to recommend monitoring Catholic Masses and developing sources within the parishes to snitch on those who may hold extremist views.
And where does all of this originate from? What source did the FBI use to determine Catholics pose a threat to state? The good old Southern Poverty Law Center and their list of “Radical Traditional Catholicism Hate Groups.” You might remember the good old SPLC. They are the group who put a target on the backs of the people working at the Family Research Council in 2012 by calling them a hate group. Some maniac picked that bit of info up and decided to buy 15 Chic-Fil-A sandwiches before heading over to the D.C. office of the group with a rifle, one for each person he planned on killing that day. In case you forgot about that incident, you may remember hearing about how the SPLC worked with big tech and the feds to determine standards for misinformation and hate-speech on social media platforms.
And let's not forget the recent FBI raid on the home of the pro-life advocate in Pennsylvania for violating the FACE act. In 2021 he defended his son from a 72 year old man who was harassing and threatening the kid. The local DA determined there wasn't enough there to press charges and the matter was dropped. Fast forward a year and here comes the FBI, storming the guys home on the orders of biden's DOJ with enough firepower to bring down a well-armed militia. The thing is, even if he beats the charges, his legal bills are going to ruin him. That is how this works, the process is the punishment. Ask Mike Flynn about it.
When he was President, Harry Truman was very wary of national police forces, especially the FBI. As far as he could tell, they seemed a whole lot more interested in getting dirt for Hoover on politicians and their extramarital and drinking habits than solving actual crimes. I think he would have disbanded it if his colleagues weren't so scared of what that little weasel had in his secret files. And they still have a building named after that cross-dressing fascist. Wanna learn about how the FBI operates, particularly at the upper level, where the decisions get made, read 1000 Years for Revenge by Peter Lance. That will show you how incompetent management is at that outfit when it comes to fighting real crimes, how they dropped the ball prior to 9/11, and punished agents who tried to warn them about the threat these Middle Eastern guys training at flight schools and firing ranges really were. But now, based on raids like the ones at Roger Stone's place, Mar Largo, and Mr. Houck, it appears the street agents are finally getting the message. Go along or face the consequences or as we used to hear on the street, snitches get stitches.
Our Founding Fathers would weep openly if they saw what their sacrifice led to, how these alphabet soup agencies run by unelected bureaucrats have taken over the country and how the congress has been more than willing to let them do it. I think if they could have jumped into a time machine in 1774 and saw America in the 21st Century they would have told the King, "It's okay, we'll pay a bit extra for tea and playing cards, but only if you promise right now to never give us independence."
Thanks again Tulsi for speaking up on this real threat to our liberty. And thank you Patrick Henry for insisting on a Bill of Rights after Hamilton and Maddison said it wasn't necessary because everyone respected natural law. I want it in writing before I'll agree to your damned constitution was a great contribution to that document and the forging of a free nation. It's the only thing standing between us and the kind of tyranny countries like Canada and Great Britain are enduring. But as Tulsi points out, it needs defending 24/7. Progressives have been trying to scrap the thing since the days of Teddy Roosevelt. People who love liberty need to embrace what people who crave power hate with a passion. As President Reagan said in his greatest speech, we have a rendezvous with destiny and have reached a time for choosing. Let us hang together to avoid hanging separately.

I have family members who go apoplectic over biden saying; "I can't believe he's doing this." I tell them I don't get my stuff up in a bunch because he's not. In a functioning republic he would be in an assisted living facility, not the White House. Everyone knows this. But we don't have a functioning republic. We have reality-TV as politics and an indifferent oligarchy who doesn't care what happens to the country as long they are taken care of. Anyone who doesn't believe this is obama's third-term is either in denial or so far gone they would back anyone wearing their team's jersey no matter what. obama said he would love it if he could find a guy to prop up as Manchurian president and he found one in the dithering old man, with a wife whose ambition and greed is so over the top she will let him whither and die rather than do the decent thing.
We have entered into the final phase of the republic. What it looks like on the other side is hard to say, but the center cannot hold. When you have a significant portion of the country who genuinely believe you can select your gender by declaration and that white people have some grand scheme to commit genocide on the LGB crowd and oppressed people of color, you have reached a tipping point that cannot self-correct. I defended this nation for a large part of my adult life and it breaks my heart to admit this is where we are at but facts are stubborn things. My concern is the casual way people discuss a national divorce. The term is even tossed around on the floor of the House like it's part of...well, some reality-TV show. Divorces tend to be messy. National divorces tend to be REALLY messy. And who benefits? At the end of the day, who wins? Here's a hint gang, it's not the average Joe or Jane.
But here's another sad reality, the average Joe and Jane don't care much. They prefer the lie. Alexander Solzhenitsyn said: "The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. One word of truth outweighs the world.” He also had a warning for us here in the West who thought Marxism might work if it was implemented properly, you know, by the "right" kind of people: "There is this fallacious belief: 'It would not be the same here; here such things are impossible.' Alas, all the evil of the Twentieth Century is possible everywhere on Earth:" Bob Dylan once wrote: "It's a hard rains a gonna fall." The sheep will stay asleep. The wise will not act like the foolish maidens who had no oil for their lamp and by the time they did, the Bridegroom had already arrived and barred them from joining the feast. Get right with God folks, that's free advice.
