“QUALIFICATIONS”

  
Seems worthy of note that the same word-salad-uttering, joyfully-grinning, hand-waving, incessantly cackling Kamala Harris that boasted her “never explained” plan to fix the woes of our country’s economy, and her “never revealed” qualifications to serve as Commander in Chief of the military of the greatest nation on Earth, etc., . . . recently led an overwhelmingly failed 2024 campaign for U.S. President that reportedly spent $1.5 Billion and wound up some $20 Million in debt!  As she and her husband then departed for a vacation in Hawaii!

Oh well, now back to the wringing of hands in sleepless night anxiety about the “qualifications” of President Trump’s picks for his cabinet and other federal government staff to support his U.S. Voter mandate to Save America and MAGA!!!

“CHINA WILL NO DOUBT SOON ADOPT A U.S.A. SOLUTION!”


Following this (openly a bit satire-inclusive) title and introduction, is a strongly recommended reading of an as-published article reported by NEWSMAX, Sunday, November 17, 2024. 

And those choosing to do so will likely readily recognize that in lieu of “Gun Violence,” China is not only experiencing “Knife Violence,” but also “Car Violence”!

Hence, China’s solution to the therein reported human tragedies clearly rests in some of America’s tried and proven approaches.

Such as, but not limited to: (1.) In lieu of U.S.A. employed “Gun Free Zone” signs, a dedicated China use of strategically-posted “Knife Free Zone” and “Car Free Zone” signage; (2.) Citizen indoctrinations that unrelentingly declare and attest that the “root cause” of violence is always “the weapon of choice,” and never the human user of such; and (3.) Self-destructive mindset that those hell-bent to levy death and other pain and suffering on others never fail to faithfully respect and closely adhere to the dictates of signs, laws, and other thou-shalt-nots!

“KNIFE ATTACK AT A VOCATIONAL SCHOOL IN EASTERN CHINA LEAVES 8 DEAD AND 17 INJURED” - - - As Reported by NEWSMAX, Sunday, November 17, 2024:

A stabbing attack at a vocational school in the eastern Chinese city of Wuxi on Saturday left eight people dead and 17 others injured, local police said. The attack took place at the Wuxi Vocational Institute of Arts and Technology in Yixing, a smaller city within Wuxi, at around 6:30 p.m. local time, the Yixing police said in a statement.

The suspect, a 21-year old male student surnamed Xu, was detained on site. Police said Wu had failed his examinations and could not graduate, and that he was dissatisfied about his pay at an internship. He decided to vent his frustrations via the attack, the statement said. Videos circulating on Western social media platforms like X showed injured people lying on the street after the attack while others rushed to help.

On Chinese social media platforms like Weibo, keyword searches of the attack turn up the police statement but no videos or images related to the attack. The Chinese government often censors internet content if it’s deemed overly sensitive or political. Most Western social media sites and search engines like Google are blocked behind what's commonly known as the Great Firewall, which regulates what is accessible within China.

This is the second deadly attack within a week after a man drove his car into people at a sports facility in the southern city of Zhuhai, leaving 35 people dead and injured 43 others.

China has seen a number of attacks in which suspects appear to target members of the public at random.

In October, a man was detained after he allegedly attacked children with a knife at a school in Beijing. Five people were wounded.

In September, three people were killed in a knife attack in a Shanghai supermarket, and 15 others were injured. Police said at the time that the suspect had personal financial disputes and came to Shanghai to “vent his anger.”

The same month, a Japanese schoolboy died after being stabbed on his way to school in the southern city of Shenzhen.

‘WE THE PEOPLE’ HAVE SPOKEN


It has often been written that, at the close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, a lady asked Benjamin Franklin, one of America’s Founding Fathers, “What have we got, a republic or a monarch?” Reportedly, his response was, “A republic if you can keep it.”

Yes, our liberty and freedoms are not locked-in-stone, but instead enabled by our special form of government. Not a “pure democracy,” which can result in mob-rule and tyranny-of-the-majority and where fifty-one percent could take away the rights of the other forty-nine, but rather, a first and to date one-of-its-kind “constitutional republic”! Purposefully designed to be governed by its citizens through three separate but equal branches of government: the legislative, executive, and judicial. Where, through the invaluable experience, profound insight, and exceptional wisdom of our country’s founders, “sovereignty” is intended to deliberately rest with its citizens!

Hence, relatively intense campaigns are often aimed at influencing our votes, such as with our recent 11/05/2024 Presidential/General Election. As millions chose to exercise our constitutional sovereignty by way of our votes. And in doing so, expressed who we want to represent us in various branches of government and what policies and agendas we expect to be employed.

And via this U.S. Constitution founded process, Former President (now President-Elect) Trump and Vice President-Elect Vance, and their publicly declared platform of planned policies, have been officially chosen as our county’s path forward, beginning January 20, 2025. A mandate of planned policies focused on crucial issues such as but not limited to: Border Security; Immigration Control; Inflation/Economy; Crime Prevention; Tax Cuts; Energy and manufacturing dominance; Preventing/ending wars; Missile Defense Shield for U.S.; U.S. Military strength/modernization; Protecting Social Security and Medicare; Cancelling Electric Vehicle mandate; Cutting costly and burdensome regulations; Keeping men out of women’s sports; Securing U.S. elections; and Uniting our country through new and record levels of success; etc.

A legitimately exercised citizens-sovereignty “chosen-path-forward” for our country—clearly validated not only by relatively overwhelming Electoral College Votes, but also substantial Popular Vote Majority.

And, in a perfect world, one might expect a rational “united” effort forward with the “overall” best interests of our country selflessly and uppermost in mind. However, history reflects that, in absence of such perfection, the future will, in addition to an array of positive and encouraging outcomes, also entail a mixed bag of counterproductive behaviors—often fueled by ignorance, apathy, complacency, denial, intimidation, greed, corruption, and other human-rooted flaws.

Nevertheless, many among us continue to hope for and encourage the day when we are much better at treating one another as “Americans” and much less tolerant of “Identity Politics.” That is, counterproductive behaviors seeking to “divide” us into groups of “victims” and “oppressors” by way of ethnicity, race, nationality, religion, denomination, gender, sexual orientation, social background, caste, social class, etc.

Yes, we will continue to enjoy the liberty and freedom enabling blessings of our precious “Republic” . . . that is, if we can keep it!

"ONLY IN AMERICA" !!!


Reportedly, the average Tuition and Fees at America’s so-called Ivy League schools now average about $64,000 yearly. And yes, if you have the desire and economic and other resources to take advantage of such, you can send your young adult offsprings to one of these “Institutions of Higher Indoctrination” (e.g., Harvard, Pennsylvania, Columbia, etc.).

Where they can — at your and other U.S. taxpayers expense — be indoctrinated to have ignorance of and/or contempt for our U.S. Constitution; learn to hate Jewish people and all things Trump; and even participate in unrelenting support of Hamas terrorists.

All while basking in a deeply caring, compassionate, and protected “educational” atmosphere that will, as one proud example, swiftly “cancel” classes when our county’s elections don’t go their way, in order to allow scared and hurting-badly students and staff to recover from their heart-shattering fear and anxiety over the outcome of our country’s 2024 Presidential/General Election.

And in the case of Columbia University, even organize and/or participate in a “Anti-Veterans Day” protest on 11/11/2024!

And if all this pampering of hurt feelings for some reason fails to address their life-shattering trauma and endless emotional needs, then there’s always that possibly for a taxpayer-funded “Student Loan Forgiveness” handout to materialize! That is, until . . . along came Trump!

Yes, folks, only in America!

PRESIDENTIAL/GENERAL ELECTION OF “NOVEMBER 5, 2024” . . . TRULY LIBERTY’S LAST HOPE IN AMERICA!!!


Yes, “We The People” truly now face a most crucial fork in the road! 

We can either elect Trump & Vance and a supporting Republican-majority (RINO-free) U.S. Congress . . . and ourselves support and demand unrelenting dedication to President Trump's Pro-America/America-First/"U.S. Constitution-founded" policies and agenda . . . or, folks, the survival of our precious Liberty/Freedom-enabling Republic will truly and rapidly sink into an “unthinkable”—and very likely “unrecoverable”—abyss of Marxist/Communist-infested Radial-Left Insanity and Tyranny!!!

Straight From the Liar-Lips of Cackling Kamala Harris!

 






“PURE COINCIDENCE” / “CONSPIRACY THEORY” / “PERFECT TIMING” - 101:


(1.) In keeping with various campaign boastings about her so-called “middle-class” roots, Kamala Harris has at times claimed once having a French Fry Preparing Job at McDonald’s;

(2.) McDonald’s and others fail to provide/acknowledge evidence in support of above claim, resulting in related Negative News Media for Harris;

(3.) Trump “Announces his Intent” to Perform French Fry Job at a McDonald’s;

(4.) Trump “Actually Performs” French Fry Job at a McDonald’s, resulting is some Positive News Media related thereto;

(5.) McDonald’s Corporation Hit with “Outbreak of E. Coli Bacteria” in at Least 13 States – with source of E. Coli contamination reportedly traced to onions supplied by a Taylor Farms facility in Colorado Springs, Colorado (a California-based produce company);

(6.) Positive Trump-Related McDonald’s News “Instantly Replaced” with that related to E. Coli outbreak.

= = =

INITIAL TAKE-AWAY (With a bit of Satire): Even the slightest pondering that the timing and other factors of of above referenced E. Coli Bacteria outbreak at McDonald’s could possibly be “other than” the purest of coincidence, of course suggests that such thoughts are likely infested with irredeemable racism, anti-democracy, white-supremacy leanings, and other incurable human flaws.

"Paths fraught with danger!"


In a perfect world one might expect voter participation in our rapidly approaching November 05, 2024 General/Presidential Election to be unfailingly restricted to and fully exercised by “all” eligible-to-vote U.S. citizens . . . each rationally casting fact-based votes with “overall” best interests of our precious country selflessly and uppermost in mind.

However, history attests that, in absence of such perfection, our elections will continue to include a mixed bag of human-rooted flaws and counterproductive behaviors. Such as: ignorance, apathy, complacency, denial, intimidation, greed, and corruption. As in turn candidates of all political parties continue to seek and/or retain positions of power and influence by promising an ever-growing array of so-called “free stuff.” Too often taking our country down paths fraught with danger.

Paths possibly best symbolized by the following scenario; one of questionable origin and for years accessible through an array of Internet sources and other media: The Life Cycle of a Democracy: A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It will continue until the voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that point on, the majority will always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury. Eventually every democracy will collapse, due to loose fiscal policy, and be followed by a dictatorship. From the beginning, the greatest civilizations of the world have only lasted about 200 years, and have always progressed through the following sequence: From—1. Bondage to spiritual faith; 2. Spiritual faith to great courage; 3. Courage to liberty; 4. Liberty to abundance; 5. Abundance to complacency; 6. Complacency to apathy; 7. Apathy to dependence; 8. Dependence back to bondage.”

Regardless of origin, little mindful consideration is required to note some unsettling similarities of above scenario to various actual aspects of our country’s status and direction. Such as: an out of control $35 trillion national debt; agendas contributing to more and more “dependents” relying upon the government for every want and need; and elected representatives and government bureaucracies more focused on “staying in power,” “keeping their jobs,” and “promoting their personal interests and ideologies” . . . rather than addressing the best interests of our country as a whole.

And it is to our demise that we ever assume our past/present liberties and freedoms are “forever givens,” and forget that our exercise of such relies upon our truly special form of government. Not a “pure democracy,” which can result in mob-rule and tyranny-of-the-majority and where fifty-one percent could take away the rights of the other forty-nine . . . but rather, a first and to date one-of-its-kind “constitutional republic”! Governed by its citizens through three separate but equal branches of government: the legislative, executive, and judicial. Where, through the experience, insight, and great wisdom of our country’s founders, “sovereignty” deliberately rests with “we the people”! . . . That is, at least thus far it does?

AN ANALOGY WORTH PONDERING?


Consider if one will, that lined up on the World’s most consequential of airfields in final preparation for takeoff is a huge state-of-art aircraft, loaded with a uniquely diverse mix of passengers, destined for departure on a most crucial of trips, to a yet-to-be determined destiny, via a yet-to-be chosen and charted course, through unthinkingly turbulent weather forecasts and other uniquely challenging and unpredictable travel conditions. 

A truly one-of-its-kind aircraft with priceless life, liberty, and freedom accommodations available on no other aircraft on Earth.

And now, voter-qualified passengers must soon choose from “two” optional “candidate crews” who will assume the awesome responsibility for this aircraft’s rapidly approaching takeoff, ever-so-crucial flight, and ultimate safe landing!

The designated pilot of one “candidate crew” has no prior experience as official pilot of this unique aircraft, and therefore no experience piloting it through turbulent, unpredictable, and otherwise ever-so-crucial flight challenges; was only relatively recently-established, via relatively unique circumstances, as an official replacement for this crew’s original choice for this most critical pilot position; and has taken and continues to take very limited public access opportunities, especially those unscripted/impromptu, to share and support in relative detail and clarity her declared background, experience, and personally planned course and destination for this ever-so-crucial life, liberty, and freedom sustaining aircraft she now seeks to pilot.

The designated pilot of the other optional “candidate crew” has four years of prior experience in the actual pilot’s seat of this particular aircraft, during a not so long ago earlier flight; has demonstrated the ability to pilot this aircraft through exceptionally turbulent, unpredictable, and otherwise challenging of circumstances; has been again selected as this crew’s pilot via a long established passenger-wide primary election of participating voters; and has taken and continues to take many publicly accessible opportunities, including those unscripted/impromptu, to share and support with relative detail and clarity, his declared background, experience, and personally planned course and destination for this ever-so-crucial life, liberty, and freedom sustaining aircraft he once again seeks to pilot.

And, folks, “our” above referenced “mutually shared” aircraft will be departing on schedule on January 20, 2025 . . . with a pilot and crew “we” must now choose no later than November 05, 2024!

Yes, departing not only with a flight crew hopefully appropriately designated, but in any case, with “consequences” . . . some not only greatly profound, long-lasting, and rooted in our choices, but also likely irreversible. While in turn being a testament to the cautions and realities expressed through the following two quotations reportedly from not so long ago: 

“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” ―Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865), 16th U.S. President; and,

“Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction—it is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.” —Ronald Reagan (1911-2004), 40th U.S. President.

THE MANY FACES OF AMERICA’S “ENEMIES WITHIN”:


Yes, America’s many “Enemies Within” wear a mix of faces. None the least that of David Muir and Linsey Davis, so-called moderators of the “Three-against-Trump” Trump/Harris debate, on 09-10-2024 . . . two disgusting pieces of political activist shi# posing as news journalists; both under employment by and direction of Marxist/Communist infested ABC News!

And it is to the ultimate demise of “We the People” that we fail to recognize and responsibly confront the ever-so-existing reality that . . . ABC News and its in-kind politically-biased CBS, NBC, CNN, etc., anti-America peers are truly among America’s reprehensible “Enemies Within” . . . each and all unrelentingly hell-bent on the destruction of our ever-so-challenged and liberty-enabling Constitutional Republic!!!

Why bother to vote?


Every four years our precious Constitutional Republic, the United States of America, holds an election for President; while Congressional elections occur every two years, and various state and local elections happen yearly. Although some rules vary, you’re typically eligible to vote if you’re a U.S. citizen, meet state residency requirements, register to vote, and are 18 years old on or before Election Day.

And as our country’s upcoming November 5, 2024 Presidential Election ever so rapidly approaches, history strongly suggests that the response thereto of “We the People” will again be a mixed bag of responsible and irresponsible behaviors.

Yes, many will do their best to become fact-based informed and cast rational votes, while the response of a number of others will be irrationally rooted in emotions, and/or otherwise influenced in large measure by ignorance, falsehoods, greed, intimidation, etc. In turn, a disheartening many caught up in the pitfalls of apathy and complacency will simply choose to not participate. As still others will for their respective reasons struggle with “why bother to vote at all.”

Of course, the reasons and importance of casting rational and informed fact-based votes are many. None the least being to ensure that “government power” is entrusted solely to truly trustworthy representatives of “We the People.” That is, placed in the hands of those faithfully dedicated to governing in accordance with our U.S. Constitution, and thereby protecting, preserving, and defending our precious republic, liberty, and freedoms.

Yes, by November 5, 2024, once again billions upon billions of dollars will have been spent, and untold campaign endeavors undertaken, in an unrelenting effort to, by way of our votes, determine who will until the next elections control the reins of “government power.” Power crucially affecting, but not limited to, that regarding: taxes; regulations; health care; food supply; transportation; infrastructure; banking; government agencies; investments; agriculture; energy; communications; environment; small/large business; government budgets/spending; national debt; foreign aid; wars; border security; immigration control; economic growth; inflation; interest rates; employment; unemployment; size/cost of government; crime control; justice system; educational institutions; elections integrity; and overall adherence to our U.S. Constitution; etc.

And, if by chance the above random examples fall a bit short of touching upon some meaningful reasons to not only vote, but to do so responsibly, then hopefully some serious pondering of the following three cautionary quotations reportedly from not so long ago will be of some aid: "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” --Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; “Someone struggled for your right to vote. Use it.” --Susan B. Anthony; and, "The future of this republic is in the hands of the American voter.” --Dwight D. Eisenhower.

America's Fentanyl Crisis!


America's Fentanyl Crisis . . . not only terribly sad, but (or should be) most alarming! 

It seems noteworthy that history is cluttered with how, not so long ago, Japan financed its military with drug money during World War II. Furthermore, after invading Manchuria in 1931, Japan reportedly turned much of northeast China into an opium plantation, then used the drug to subdue the population, and yes . . . used the profits to fund its military. 

Of course, in addition to the “supply” side of our present-day Fentanyl crisis, there exists the often disregarded “demand” factor. That is, our nation is not, for example, being cluttered with a life-threatening onslaught of “wheels for covered wagons,” . . . likely because there seems to not presently exist an unrelenting “demand” for such. 

And after all is said and done, or done and said . . . could just be that one day we may more responsibly grasp that there is likely no greatly successful “chemical/pill/etc. solution” for what may well be a “spiritual problem” long wrestled with by we flawed human beings.

“FREEDOM'S LAST HOPE!”


YES . . . as the Marxist/Communist-infested Democrat Party Puppet-Masters unrelentingly strive to infest the People’s White House with “their” latest-designated puppets, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz . . . “We the People” must without fail, on November 5, 2024, elect President Trump and Vice-President Vance, along with a Republican-majority U.S. Congress (void of RINO’s) . . . and demand and personally support an unrelenting Pro-America/America-First/U.S. Constitution-driven agenda!

Or, in the plainest of words, we will have failed to responsibly recognize and support what is truly "Freedom's Last Hope" . . . and as a result, can kiss our self-destructive, ignorant, complacent, apathetic, greedy, denying, and fearful asses a shameful goodbye!

It has often been written that, at the close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, a lady asked Benjamin Franklin, one of America’s Founding Fathers, “What have we got, a republic or a monarch?” Reportedly, his response was, “A republic if you can keep it.”

And history will duly record whether each generation of Americans will continue to be recipient of the torch of responsibility for a yet protected, preserved, and thriving “Constitutional Republic” . . . or, one day cursed with lost liberty in likeness to that of our World’s many failed and suffering nations. —William James Moore.

EXPRESSION OF SINCERE GRATITUDE TO FACEBOOK ALGORITHMS (WITH A TRACE OF SATIRE)


“Dear Facebook Radical-Left-Biased Algorithms,

Please accept my most sincere heart-felt gratitude for so timely and compassionately bringing to an end your 08/20/2024 “Restriction” of FB-selected functions of my FB Account!

Hence, bringing about much appreciated closure of punishment certainly due me for my reportedly failing to conform to “FB Community Standards,” i.e., by way of my most thoughtless attempt to copy and post as a comment my recent posting, titled "SNAPSHOTS FROM HISTORY WORTH SPECIAL PONDERING.”

Furthermore, please know that I am profoundly relieved and deeply comforted by unfailing awareness that . . . when old “politically-conservative/Pro-America/America-First” I again fall short of living up to FB Community Standards . . . you will again ever-so-swiftly take appropriate measures to protect the FB Community from my obviously human-flawed behavior. And considering utter darkness of my past history and my irredeemable nature, “silencing the Opposition” measures you likely will be called upon to again levy . . . much sooner than later.”

“SNAPSHOTS FROM HISTORY WORTH SPECIAL PONDERING”


[INTRODUCTION: As unrelenting efforts are underway to infest the people’s White House with “extreme” radical-left Kamala Harris, and her likewise “grossly” radical-left VP pick, Tim Walz . . . both being “Puppets” of the “Puppet-Masters” of the Marxist/Leninist/Communist-infested Democrat Party, and willing and determined to carry out insane anti-America/America-last/Liberty-destroying agendas . . . the following particular “Snapshots from History” seem exceptionally worthy of extra-special pondering and unfailingly-responsible reaction.]:

“We cannot expect the Americans to jump from capitalism to communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism, until they suddenly awake to find they have communism.” —Nikita Khrushchev (1894-1971), Leader of the Soviet Union after death of Marxist/Leninist Joseph Stalin; First Secretary of Communist Party of the Soviet Union (1953-1964); Chairman of the Council of Ministers (1958-1964).


“Your children’s children will live under communism. You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept Communism outright; but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of Socialism until you will finally wake up and find that you already have Communism. We won’t have to fight you; we’ll so weaken your economy, until you fall like overripe fruit into our hands.” —Nikita Khrushchev (1894-1971), Leader of the Soviet Union after death of Marxist/Leninist Joseph Stalin; First Secretary of Communist Party of the Soviet Union (1953-1964); Chairman of the Council of Ministers (1958-1964).

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” ― Ronald Reagan (1911-2004), 40th U.S. President.


“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” ― Abraham Lincoln (1909-1865), 16th U.S. President.


“Every day, I wake up determined to deliver a better life for the people all across this nation that have been neglected, ignored, and abandoned.

THE ‘LIFE-SPAN’ OF OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC???


Various historical writings and other views have put forth that . . . a democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. That is, a democracy will continue until the voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. 

From that point on, the majority will always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury. 

Eventually every democracy will collapse, due to loose fiscal policy, and be followed by a dictatorship. Hence, from the beginning, the greatest democracy-rooted civilizations of the world have reportedly only lasted about 200 years, and have always progressed through the following sequence: From—1. Bondage to spiritual faith; 2. Spiritual faith to great courage; 3. Courage to liberty; 4. Liberty to abundance; 5. Abundance to complacency; 6. Complacency to apathy; 7. Apathy to dependence; 8. Dependence back to bondage.”

And, considering the critical fork-in-the road (very likely “Liberty’s Last Stand”) entailed in our county’s upcoming November 05, 2024 Presidential Election, the following is a suggested read:

Yes, we are now becoming increasingly engulfed by the 2024 Presidential Election campaigns, with untold millions spent to influence our votes. Eventually, many will do their best to cast responsible votes; a larger number will likely do otherwise. Countless will assume our past/present liberties, freedoms, and opportunities to be “forever givens”—losing touch that such blessings originate from and rely upon a truly special form of government established long ago.

A ”special form of government” also most worthy of and dependent upon our understanding, demonstrated gratitude, and preservation! Yes, . . . being very aware of the failures of prior “democracies,” such as ancient Athens and Rome, our country’s founding fathers feared creating a government too similar to a “pure democracy”—which can result in mob-rule and tyranny-of-the-majority; where fifty-one percent could take away the rights of the other forty-nine. Through experience, insight, and great wisdom, they instead established a first and to date one-of-its-kind “constitutional republic”—where sovereignty deliberately rests with “we the people.” Where we can act lawfully on our own and through elected representatives to deal with issues; where our government’s power comes from and is limited by its citizens. Thus establishing our nation of unequaled liberty, freedom, and opportunity—governed by its citizens through three separate but equal branches of government: the legislative, executive, and judicial.

Nevertheless, years of ignorance, apathy, complacency, denial, greed, and fear—on the part of too many eligible voters and elected representatives—have taken our country down a most dangerous path. One possibly best symbolized by the following (and purposefully repeated from beginning of this post) life-cycle scenario; an assertion of questionable origin, for years accessible in many forms through an array of internet sources and other media:

The Life Cycle of a Democracy: A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It will continue until the voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that point on, the majority will always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury. Eventually every democracy will collapse, due to loose fiscal policy, and be followed by a dictatorship. From the beginning, the greatest civilizations of the world have only lasted about 200 years, and have always progressed through the following sequence: From—1. Bondage to spiritual faith; 2. Spiritual faith to great courage; 3. Courage to liberty; 4. Liberty to abundance; 5. Abundance to complacency; 6. Complacency to apathy; 7. Apathy to dependence; 8. Dependence back to bondage.”

Regardless of origin of above scenario, little serious consideration is required to note some unsettling similarities of above to some actual aspects of our country’s status and direction. Such as: an out of control $35 trillion national debt; agendas turning us into a nation of “dependents” relying upon the government for every want and need; and elected representatives and government bureaucracies more focused on “keeping their jobs,” “staying in power,” and “promoting their personal interests and ideologies,” than addressing the best interests of our country as whole; etc.

From—or in spite of—the propaganda and media-blitz involved with our election processes, “We The People” must strive to be informed, active, and responsible voters. Ultimately at stake is nothing less than the preservation of our constitutional republic—and the priceless liberty, freedom, and opportunity it affords.

And if “We the People” fail to recognize and responsibly respond to the fact that our upcoming November 05, 2024 election truly represents “Liberty’s Last Stand” . . . then it will be “unrecoverable game-over” for our precious Constitutional Republic! Yes, gone will be individual liberty and U.S. Constitution supported God-Given Rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness . . . for present and future generations of Americans!

Therefore . . . on November 5, 2024 we must without fail elect President Trump and Vice-President Vance, along with a Republican-majority U.S. Congress (void of RINO’s) . . . and demand and personally support an unrelenting Pro-America/America-First/U.S. Constitution-driven agenda!

Or, again, in the plainest of words . . . we can kiss our self-destructive, ignorant, complacent, apathetic, greedy, denying, and fearful asses a shameful goodbye! ---William James Moore.

ULTIMATE PRICE OF VOTER APATHY?


“Apathy” (i.e., lack of interest, enthusiasm, or concern) can of course have many faces. None the least by way of the too often shameful lack of voter participation in various of our country’s elections.

For example: According to U.S. Census Data, the 2024 Population of Labette County, Kansas is estimated to be about 19,754. And, as reported by Labette County’s related website, a total of 2,493 chose to cast Ballots in the County’s August 06, 2024 Primary Election (i.e., 469 Democratic; 2017 Republican; and 7 Nonpartisan). 

Hence, via said election, only about 13 Percent of Labette County’s population (or about 18 Percent of the County's Registered Voters) chose to, by way of official votes, make an effort to maintain a government representative of and accountable to “We the People”.

And, considering the many very crucial challenges facing our country at the local, state, and federal level, it would seem that the “ultimate price of voter apathy” should be given much more serious consideration and responsible attention.

It has often been written that, at the close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, a lady asked Benjamin Franklin, one of America’s Founding Fathers, “What have we got, a republic or a monarch?” Reportedly, his response was, “A republic if you can keep it.”

And history will duly record whether each generation of Americans will continue to be recipient of the torch of responsibility for a yet protected, preserved, and thriving “Constitutional Republic USA” . . . or, one day cursed with lost liberty in likeness to that of our World’s many failed and suffering nations. ---James & Ann Moore.

A “FEW WORDS” ABOUT ADVERSITIES, OPPORTUNITIES, AND CHOICES


Reportedly, the World population now exceeds 8 billion people.

And in spite of all the politically rooted Bull Shi# and power-craving propaganda to the contrary . . . they will never all have “the same” opportunities and experience “the same” adversities . . . nor will they all make “the same” choices, or all have “the same” aims.

And while none will likely ever be in total control of “what happens to or for them” . . . many if not most will nonetheless have “some measure of influence” over how they “respond” to the happenings throughout their respective gift-of-life journeys.

A “measure of influence” of course not only conditioned in no small way by their respective mental and physical abilities, unique life circumstances, etc., but also by their personal attitudes and aims.

As evidenced, for example, by the following “few words” about Johnny ‘Joey’ Jones; Gene Hackman; James Garner, and ‘JD’ Vance. Not perfect human beings, nor otherwise herein intended or inferred role models of any nature or aim. Just a snapshot of some adversities, opportunities, and choices entailed in the gift-of-life journey of four “examples” from an untold billions of humankind.

= = =

(1.)  Johnny ‘Joey’ Jones (07/21/1986 - ): Presently a regular FOX News Contributor; host of multiple shows on FOX Nation tackling important issues impacting America; sits on the boards of nonprofits and volunteers his time speaking out for veterans; etc.

Johnny 'Joey' Jones . . . was born and raised in Dalton, Georgia; first in his family to graduate high school; after high school, worked as a forklift operator and took a few classes at Dalton State College; joined Marine Corps at age 18; served eight years including two combat tours in Afghanistan and Iraq; became an Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) technician; on 6 August 2010, was deployed to Helmand Province in Afghanistan, and while in process of destroying explosive devices, stepped on a hidden Improvised explosive device (IED), losing both his legs above the knees and injuring both wrists and right forearm; underwent multiple surgeries and physical therapies after being installed with prosthetic legs; gradually recovered; retired from Marines in 2012; finished college from Georgetown University in liberal studies and social and public policy in 2014; and participated in the House Committee on Veteran's Affairs; etc.

(2.)   Gene Hackman (Eugene Allen Hackman (01/30/1930 - ): A retired American actor, with career spanning more than six decades; recipient of two Academy Awards, two BAFTA Awards, four Golden Globes, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and the Silver Bear; etc.

Gene Hackman . . . was born in San Bernardino, California; Pennsylvania Dutch, English, and Scottish ancestry. Family moved frequently, finally settling in Danville, Illinois, where they lived in home of his English-born maternal grandmother, and where his father operated printing press for a local newspaper. At age 10, Hackman decided he wanted to become an actor. Parents divorced when he was 13 and his father subsequently left the family. Hackman lived briefly in Storm Lake, Iowa, spent his sophomore year at Storm Lake High School, left home at age 16 and lied about his age to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps; served four and a half years as a field-radio operator; was stationed in China (Qingdao and later in Shanghai). When Communist Revolution conquered the mainland in 1949, he was assigned to Hawaii and Japan. Following his discharge in 1951, moved to New York City and had several jobs. His mother died in 1962 as result of fire she accidentally started while smoking. He began a study of journalism and television production at the University of Illinois under the G.I. Bill, and later moved back to California; and in 1956 began pursuing an acting career.

(3.)   James Garner (James Scott Garner [né Bumgarner] (04/07/1928 – 07/19/2014): Was an American actor; played leading roles in more than 50 theatrical films; received an Academy Award nomination; and starred in several television series, including popular roles such as Bret Maverick in the ABC 1950s Western series Maverick and as Jim Rockford in the NBC 1970s private detective show, The Rockford Files; etc.

James Garner . . . was born James Scott Bumgarner in 1928 in Denver (part of Norman), Oklahoma; Methodist family; father part German ancestry and mother half Cherokee; mother died five years after his birth; family ran a general store at Denver; after mother's death, Garner and his brothers sent to live with relatives. Attended Wilson Elementary School, Norman Junior High and Norman High School; reunited with family in 1934 when his father remarried, first of several times. Had volatile relationship with one of his stepmothers, Wilma, who beat Garner and his two brothers; stepmother also punished him by forcing him to wear a dress in public; when he was 14 years old, fought with her, knocking her down and choking her to keep her from retaliating against him physically. She left family and never returned. His brother Jack later commented, "She was a damn no-good woman". According to Garner, "I managed to steer pretty clear of it... I was doing all of it, but I never really got caught. I was a bad boy, but I just, you know, they never caught me at it." Garner loved his last stepmother, Grace, whom he called "Mama Grace", and he felt she was more of a mother to him than anyone else had been. Shortly after Garner's father's marriage to Wilma broke up, his father moved to Los Angeles, leaving Garner and his brothers in Norman. After working several jobs he disliked, joined U.S. Merchant Marines at age 16 near the end of World War II; liked the work and his shipmates, but had chronic seasickness and only lasted a year. Followed his father to Los Angeles in 1945, attending Hollywood High while helping his dad lay carpet. Next five years were back and forth between California and Oklahoma, during which Garner worked in chick hatcheries and the oil fields, as a truck driver and grocery clerk, and even as a swim trunks model for Jantzen. After World War II, Garner joined his father in Los Angeles and enrolled at Hollywood High School, where was voted most popular student. A high school gym teacher recommended him for job modeling Jantzen bathing suits, paying $25 an hour, but, he hated modeling and soon quit and returned to Norman. There he played football and basketball at Norman High School and competed on the track and golf teams, and dropped out in his senior year. In a 1976 Good Housekeeping magazine interview, he admitted, "I was a terrible student and I never actually graduated from high school, but I got my diploma in the Army." Garner enlisted in the California Army National Guard, serving his first 7 months in California; was deployed to Korea during the Korean War, and spent 14 months as a rifleman in the 5th Regimental Combat Team, then part of the 24th Infantry Division. Was wounded twice: in the face and hand by fragmentation from a mortar round, and in the buttocks by friendly fire from U.S. fighter jets as he dove into a foxhole. Garner received the Purple Heart in Korea for his initial wounding. Also qualified for a second Purple Heart (for which he was eligible, since he was hit by friendly fire which "was released with the full intent of inflicting damage or destroying enemy troops or equipment"), but did not actually receive it until 1983, 32 years after the event. Reflecting on his military service, Garner recalled: "Do I have fond memories? I guess if you get together with some buddies it’s fond. But it really wasn’t. It was cold and hard. I was one of the lucky ones."

(4.)  James David "JD" Vance (08/02/1984): An American politician; author; Marine veteran; graduate of Yale Law School; junior United States senator from Ohio since 2023; member of the Republican Party and its nominee for vice president in the 2024 United States presidential election.

James David "JD" Vance . . . was born James Donald Bowman in Middletown, Ohio, to Beverly Carol (née Vance; born 1961) and Donald Ray Bowman (1959–2023); of Scots-Irish descent; parents divorced when he was a toddler. After being adopted by his mother's third husband, Bob Hamel, his mother changed his name to James David Hamel to remove his father's name but used the name of one of her brothers to preserve his nickname, JD. Vance has written that his childhood was marked by poverty and abuse, and that his mother struggled with drug addiction. Vance and his sister Lindsey were raised primarily by his maternal grandparents, James (1929–1997) and Bonnie Vance (née Blanton; 1933–2005), whom they called "Papaw" and "Mamaw". His grandparents on both sides moved to Ohio from Kentucky's Appalachia. After graduating from Middletown High School in 2003, Vance enlisted and completed a total of four years of service in the U.S. Marine Corps, including six months as a military journalist in a non-combative role in Iraq in late 2005. Using the G.I. Bill, Vance attended Ohio State University from September 2007 to August 2009, graduating summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science and philosophy; finished his undergraduate studies in less than two years; during his first year in college, he worked for Republican state senator Bob Schuler. After graduating from Ohio State, attended Yale Law School, beginning in the fall of 2010, on a nearly full-ride scholarship for his first year; became close friends during Yale's orientation with Jamil Jivani, a future Conservative member of Canadian parliament; during his first year, Professor Amy Chua, author of 2011 book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, persuaded him to begin writing his memoir, Hillbilly Elegy. Vance was an editor of The Yale Law Journal and graduated in 2013 with a Juris Doctor degree. In 2010 and 2011, he wrote for David Frum's "FrumForum" website under the name J. D. Hamel. Although Hillbilly Elegy implies Vance adopted his grandparents' surname of Vance upon his marriage in 2014, the name change actually occurred in April 2013, as he was about to graduate from Yale. After graduating law school, worked for Republican Senator John Cornyn; spent a year as a law clerk for Judge David Bunning of the US District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky; then worked at the law firm Sidley Austin, beginning a brief career as a corporate lawyer. After practicing law for slightly under two years, moved to San Francisco to work in the technology industry as a venture capitalist, and between 2016 and 2017, served as a principal at Peter Thiel's firm, Mithril Capital.

LIBERTY’S LAST STAND!!!


On Tuesday, November 3, 2020 the fate of our individual liberty, freedom, and nation’s ultimate survival was placed in the hands of radical-left Marxist/Communist-infested puppet masters . . . through a so-called Biden/Harris administration!

Yes, control of the most powerful military on the face of this Earth, and the ultimate fate of our precious Constitutional Republic, was placed in the hands of indisputably one of the most corrupt self-serving, un-accomplished, career politicians in American history (Joe Biden). Along with, just a heartbeat away, his “extremely” radical-left and incessantly-cackling running mate (Kamala Harris)—who, during the 2020 Democrat primary debates, was early-on even “rejected” by the Democrat Party’s base for obviously being personally, professionally, politically, and otherwise grossly unacceptable!

Yes, the very same incessantly-cackling “extremely” radical-left Kamala Harris that the Democrat Party’s radical-left Marxist/Communist-infested puppet masters, and other of our country’s “enemies within”, are now unrelentingly striving to place in the people’s White House as U.S. President . . . to carry-on with their self-serving, power-lusting, Anti-America agenda!

And if “We the People” fail to recognize and responsibly respond to the fact that our upcoming November 05, 2024 election truly represents “Liberty’s Last Stand” . . . then it will be “unrecoverable game-over” for our precious Constitutional Republic! Yes, gone will be individual liberty and U.S. Constitution supported God-Given Rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness . . . for present and future generations of Americans!

Therefore . . . on November 5, 2024 we must without fail elect President Trump and Vice-President Vance, along with a Republican-majority U.S. Congress . . . and demand and personally support an unrelenting Pro-America/America-First/U.S. Constitution-driven agenda!

Or, again, in the plainest of words . . . we can kiss our self-destructive, ignorant, complacent, apathetic, greedy, denying, and fearful asses a shameful goodbye!
