You've probably noticed a pattern:

The 1960s riots

The BLM uprisings

The college campus chaos

Over 𝟑,𝟓𝟎𝟎 𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 — all overwhelmingly liberal

That’s 𝟑,𝟓𝟎𝟐 𝐭𝐨 𝟎.

If you were a gambler, those odds would tell you something is hardwired.

So why does the emotional radicalism keep coming from the Left — while the Right, despite being armed to the teeth, rarely riots?

A 𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭-𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐲 in 2013 — called “𝐑𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧, 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧” — may hold the answer.

Funded with taxpayer dollars, the research found:

Liberals show heightened activity in the 𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐚 — tied to gut feelings, empathy, and emotional fairness.

Conservatives show more activity in the 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐦𝐲𝐠𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐚 — associated with external threats, caution, and survival instincts.

So what does that mean?

It’s why left-leaning protests so often spiral into riots.

Not because they’re evil — but because they’re neurologically wired to feel first and act second.

That empathy can quickly morph into rage when triggered by perceived injustice.

The left insula drives people to:

• Internalize unfairness

• React through emotion

• Mobilize in angry crowds

Add emotional slogans like:

“𝙁𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙡.”

“𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙨𝙩 𝙞𝙣𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙚.”

“𝙉𝙤 𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙚.”

And Democrat leaders — trained in political science — know exactly how to hijack that wiring.

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐲.

They see chaos and seek order.

They want solutions — not slogans.

Take immigration:

86% of Republicans see it as a critical threat

They support policy — not protest mobs

They vote. They rally. They don’t riot.

Yes, isolated far-right violence exists — but it’s rare and not normalized.

Now let me ask you to 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲.

When Barack Obama was elected in 2008, he won in a landslide.

Rational tone

Calm demeanor

Intelligent delivery

I voted for him.

But ask yourself this:

Why was this government study conducted right as his second term began?

And now think — when did Democrat messaging turn from calm to outrage?

It began during Obama’s second term.

Then Hillary spiked the emotion.

Now watch any Democrat speak today — TV, social media, articles:

It’s all moral outrage.

All fear.

All emotion.

All the time.

This is how they weaponized psychology.

This is how TDS was born.

And this is how they get everyday people to:

• Attack police

• Flip cars

• Justify mob violence

All while thinking they’re fighting “injustice.”

Either way —

Now here’s my challenge for all of you — liberals, conservatives, Democrats, and Republicans alike.

Heed what I just shared with you.

Then go turn on the TV… or open YouTube…

Pick any prominent Democrat leader and watch them speak.

Can you find a single speech that isn’t emotionally charged?

That doesn’t hinge on moral outrage or urgency?

That doesn’t try to stir fear, anger, or righteous indignation?

Now here’s the real task:

Write down the moment it happens.

Watch another speech.

Do it again.

Keep going. You’ll start to see the exact same hook — in every single one.

Is that an accident?

Nope. It’s science.

And they’ve used it — not to inspire — but to hijack what would otherwise be normal, well-meaning people.

Truth Exposed

As it is written: Luke 12:2: "For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known."

 

BOOM!!! OBAMA’S FRAUDULENT IDENTITY EXPOSED!

Edward Snowden just detonated the biggest intel bomb of 2025. Obama’s entire existence is a CIA-engineered OPERATION. Not a natural-born citizen. Not qualified. A globalist Trojan Horse installed to collapse America from within.

THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE IS A FORGERY.

Kenya was British territory. Obama's father was a British subject. Under British law, Obama was born a British citizen—making him INELIGIBLE under the U.S. Constitution to ever be president. The Founders WARNED of foreign infiltration. THIS IS IT.

THE OBAMA BLOODLINE IS INTELLIGENCE-TIED.

Obama’s grandfather connected to Bush Sr., former CIA Director. The Obamas were crafted by the global cabal. Their "American Dream" story is pure theater, designed to fool the masses while the Deep State advanced its agenda.

MICHELLE OBAMA — THE TRANSGENDER DECEPTION.

Why are there ZERO photos of Michelle pregnant? Why did Joan Rivers expose this before her sudden death? Why are the “children” distancing from the Obamas? Because the entire family narrative is FAKE.

THIS GOES DEEPER THAN POLITICS — IT’S A RELIGION.

Luciferian. Satanic. Ritualistic. These operatives follow ancient occult doctrines that defy their god. The transgender agenda, depopulation, pedophilia, and transhumanism are pillars of their cult. Hollywood, media, schools, military — all infiltrated.

SNOWDEN IS SOUNDING THE ALARM. THE OBAMAS ARE A CIA PROJECT.

Their role was simple: DESTROY AMERICA. Flood the system with satanic doctrines. Weaponize transgenderism. Corrupt the youth. Break the family structure. Collapse faith. Erode national identity. All while maintaining the illusion of hope.

THE CABAL’S ENDGAME: GLOBAL ENSLAVEMENT.

This is not random. This is centuries in the making. EVERY MOVE IS CALCULATED. The same satanic cult that controls central banks, wars, pandemics, and governments installed Obama to serve their final phase.

 

NO COINCIDENCES. SNOWDEN HAS SHATTERED THE COVER. The world is waking up. The lies are imploding.

 

Obama is Only the Tip of the Iceberg

 

 

In God We Trust

 

Do your children know this? – Do their teachers? – Do you? Who Was Haym Solomon? 

Read this fascinating history of the $1 bill all the way to the bottom to know about Haym Solomon. You may be in for quite a surprise!

On the rear of the One Dollar bill, you’ll see two circles. Together, they comprise the Great Seal of the United States. The First Continental Congress requested that Benjamin Franklin and a group of men come up with a Seal. It took them four years to accomplish this task and another two years to get it approved.

If you look at the left-hand circle, you’ll see a Pyramid.

Notice the face is lighted, and the western side is dark. This country was just beginning. We hadn’t begun to explore the west or decide what we could do for Western Civilization. The Pyramid is uncapped, again signifying that we weren't even close to being finished. Inside the Capstone you have the all-seeing eye, an ancient symbol for divinity. It was Franklin's belief that one man couldn't do it alone, but a group of men, with the help of God, could do anything.

“IN GOD WE TRUST” is on this currency.

The Latin above the pyramid, ANNUIT COEPTIS, means, “God has favored our undertaking.”

The Latin below the pyramid, NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM, means, “a new order has begun.”

At the base of the pyramid is the Roman numeral for 1776. (MDCCLXXVI)

If you look at the right-hand circle, and check it carefully, you'll learn that it’s on every National Cemetery in the United States. It’s also on the Parade of Flags Walkway at the Bushnell, Florida National Cemetery, and is the centerpiece of most heroes' monuments. Slightly modified, it’s the seal of the President of the United States, and it’s always visible whenever he speaks, yet very few people know what the symbols mean.

The Bald Eagle was selected as a symbol for victory for two reasons: First, he isn’t afraid of a storm; he’s strong, and he’s smart enough to soar above it. Secondly, he wears no material crown. We had just broken from the King of England. Also, notice the shield is unsupported. This country can now stand on its own.

At the top of the shield there’s a white bar signifying congress, a unifying factor. We were coming together as one nation. In the Eagle's beak you read, “E PLURIBUS UNUM” meaning, “from many – one.”

Above the Eagle, we have the thirteen stars, representing the thirteen original colonies, and any clouds of misunderstanding rolling away. Again, we were coming together as one.

Notice what the Eagle holds in his talons. He holds an olive branch and arrows. This country wants peace, but we will never be afraid to fight to preserve peace. The Eagle always wants to face the olive branch, but in time of war, his gaze turns toward the arrows. An (untrue) old-fashioned belief says that the number 13 is an unlucky number which is almost a worldwide belief. You'll almost never see a room numbered 13, or any hotels or motels with a 13th floor. But think about this: America, which relies on God (not a number) to direct and lead, boldly chose:
13 original colonies,
13 signers of the Declaration of Independence ,
13 stripes on our flag,
13 steps on the pyramid,
13 letters in “Annuit Coeptis,”
13 letters in “E Pluribus Unum,”
13 stars above the eagle,
13 bars on that shield,
13 leaves on the olive branch,
13 fruits,
and if you look closely,
13 arrows.
And finally, notice the arrangement of the 13 stars in the right-hand circle. You’ll see that they are arranged as a Star of David.

This was ordered by George Washington who, when he asked Haym Solomon, a wealthy Philadelphia Jew, what he would like as a personal reward for his services to the Continental Army. Solomon said he wanted nothing for himself, but he would like something for his people. The Star of David was the result. Few people know it was Solomon who saved the Army through his financial contributions ... then died a pauper. Haym Solomon gave $25 million to save the Continental Army, money that was sorely needed to help realize America's and our freedom and independence from England.

Therein lies America's Judeo-Christian beginning. Most American children do NOT know any of this. They aren't taught because their history teachers do NOT know this. (They were not taught!)

On America's Freedom: Too many veterans gave up too much to let the meaning fade. Many veterans came home to an America that did not care. Too many veterans never came home at all. They served, they died for you and for me.

I hope you will share this information with many so they can learn about the UNITED STATES DOLLAR BILL, and what it stands for. America is at a critical juncture. When Trump leaves office, the "liars, criminals, gangsters, thieves, murderers, and God-haters" will try to take over again. It is We the People who must demand good government. Because of God's promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14, America has been given a reprieve for her past sins. Donald Trump is not the "savior" of America. The only way America will heal is for the majority of Americans to honor and obey Yahweh, the creator God and sustainer of the universe.  

Let's do whatever we can to save her while never, ever forgetting: It is God in whom We Trust!

God in Your State Constitution

 

Black Africa

 

 

What is happening to former colonies in Africa? By Merelize van der Merwe (a black African living in South Africa)

White colonials built roads, bridges, railroads, schools, farms, and modern cities. When Black Africans took over everything begin to decline. Why?

The truth is- there's no word for maintenance in most African languages. Not because the people are incapable, but because they were never taught the concept. Not taught to maintain roads, businesses, relationships, or values. If something breaks, it’s discarded, blamed, or left to rot. Never fixed. Never preserved. Never owned. And now, South Africa is breaking.

Major international companies are pulling out: Shell, HSBC, BNP Paribas, Rolex, TotalEnergies, AngloGold Ashanti, even BP’s aviation fuel division— all leaving behind a trail of economic opportunity and jobs. Why?

Because there’s no stability. No long-term vision. No culture of keeping things working—of pride in what we have. And without maintenance, nothing lasts.

Just look at the numbers. South Africa Stats confirmed: 523 businesses liquidated so far. 112 shut down in April 2023 alone. 99 did it voluntarily, because they’d rather close shop than keep bleeding. 13 were forced to shut down. Africa is not just losing companies. They are losing trust. Jobs. Skills. Hope. White farmer's land is being confiscated, and in some case - murdered.  

What happened to white people in Rhodesia when the name was changed to Zimbabwe?

Although a significant number of Rhodesians remained, many of them emigrated in the early-1980s, both in fear for their lives and an uncertain future. Political unrest and the seizure of many White-owned commercial farms resulted in a further exodus of Rhodesians commencing in 1999. Rhodesian farms produced enough food that they were known as the "breadbasket" of Africa. Today, Zimbabwe is a poor country and must import food.

Seven of the eight poorest countries in the world are in Africa. Until black government leaders know the value of maintaining what the white man built, we'll keep watching it all fall apart. Not because Africans couldn't do better— but because they never learned how to keep it better.

 

 

Editorial Note: In America, Black Democrat run cities are not maintained. It's not because Black Democrats don't know the meaning of the word maintenance... they just don't care.

 

The Democrat Legacy

 

Deportations

 

Part of the strategy of President Trump and the white hats is to move as rapidly and on as many fronts as possible, not only for the purposes of keeping the promises he made to the 77 million-plus who voted for him, but also to force the corrupt members of the judicial branch to show their true colors.

There are so many presidential actions being executed daily by the Trump team that the cabal/deep state has to call on their minions in the courts to try to stop President Trump from enforcing immigration laws.

This plethora of actions by the Trump team is now often followed by one or more of the 700+ U.S. district court judges issuing an order for Trump’s order to be reversed immediately.

These America-hating judges then claim that their order is to be applied nationwide—which any reasonable person can see is ridiculous—but the Leftists press ahead as that is their tool du jour to stop Trump. Their judicial tyranny will not stand.

Don't be fooled... it's not about human rights and compassion. 

The reason activist judges want illegal aliens is to count in the census so they can control the number of seats in the House of Representatives and keep their cushy jobs.

Re: "Birthright Citizenship Act"

 

America has always welcomed immigrants who follow our Laws. Illegal aliens are by definition criminals. Anyone who enters America without proper documentation has broken the Law. What part of illegal do liberal judges not understand?

If my neighbor's cow beaks down the fence and comes onto my property and gives birth to a calf, does the calf belong to me? No, the calf belongs to the cow and the cow belongs to my neighbor. Same principle goes for illegal aliens and their offspring. The 14th Amendment granted citizenship to African slaves who were born in the United States. The 14th Amendment does not apply to illegal aliens. 

The law that applies to illegal immigration is Title 8 of the Constitution. Activists Judges, who are appointed, work harder trying to remove Trump, who We the People elected, than they do removing drug dealers, murderers, rapists, and terrorists. Liberal Judges, Liberal Governors, Mayors of “sanctuary cities”, and politicians who support them are breaking the law under Title 8 of the Constitution by aiding and abetting illegal aliens. 

 

Title 8 of the United States Code, specifically Title 8, Chapter 12, establishes the legal framework for immigration and nationality in the US, including procedures for entry, processing, and removal of individuals, and it's the law that was in place before the use of Title 42.

Originally enacted in 1944, Title 42 became a central tool for U.S. immigration policy in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Under Title 42, the U.S. government has the power to expel migrants quickly at the border, without the typical immigration court hearings or asylum processes. Again, what part of illegal do these activists not understand?

 

How many of these liberal activists would allow criminals they care so much about live in their homes?... https://www.facebook.com/reel/1257481222549331

250th Anniversary

 

On July 4th 2026 America celebrates her 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence from the British Empire. The Founders of the new nation they called the United States of America wrote in the founding documents, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." 
 

What they meant was 'all white Christian men are created equal'; they never imagined any non-white, non-Christian would want to live among them, therefore, they made no provision in the Constitution for non-white, non Christian citizens... until the 13th and 14th Amendments were enacted. It was not based on bigotry or hatred, they simply believed "birds of a feather flock together." 

 

There is only one "race"... the human race. Humans are all made of ONE BLOOD. Racism was invented by agents of Satan to divide people. There are nationalities, meaning country of origin, not the color of your skin. We do not get to choose our parents, we come into the world exactly the color God made us. 

 

The Constitution is for U.S. citizens only, illegal aliens have no rights under the Constitution. They did not request due process coming in, they do not qualify for "due process" going out.

In 1776, it's estimated that 99.8% of the US population were professing Christians, with 98.4% being Protestants and 1.4% being Catholics. This suggests a high level of religious adherence and a largely Christian society during the time of the American Revolution. 

By 1830, there were 3,775 black (including mixed-race) slaveholders in the South who owned a total of 12,760 slaves; around 2 million in the south. 80% of the black slaveholders were located in Louisiana, South Carolina, Virginia and Maryland.

For nearly two hundred years the Northern States maintained a slave regime that was more varied than that of the South. Rather than using slaves as primarily agricultural labor, the North trained and diversified its slave force to meet the needs of its more complex economy.

African slaves were brought to numerous ports along the eastern seaboard of the United States, particularly in the South and Mid-Atlantic regions, as well as New England. Major ports included Charleston, South Carolina, Savannah, Georgia, and Wilmington, North Carolina. Other important ports included New York City, Philadelphia, and Boston. 

A few in the North wanted to block the spread of slavery. They were also concerned that an extra slave state would give the South a political advantage. The South thought new states should be free to allow slavery if they wanted. The North was not concerned for the slaves, only the "political advantage."

Why did Lincoln declare war on the South?

In this open letter to Horace Greeley, President Lincoln maintained that the central cause of the Civil War was to keep the country united and not to free the slaves. Greeley was a reformer, abolitionist, and editor of the New York Tribune, an influential newspaper in the North. After South Carolina seceded from the Union, Lincoln's primary goal was to preserve the Union. The war was never about human rights or compassion.

 

And why was preserving the union so critical? The North could not survive without the South. The South had good weather, a long growing season, sea ports, and industry. Europe was buying products from the South and making them prosperous. The North was envious and wanted to punish the South for pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness. The North had shipbuilding, gun manufacturing, furniture factories, and little else. They depended on the South for clothes, lumber, and food.  

 

During his presidency, Abraham Lincoln's tariffs significantly impacted the cotton industry, particularly in the South. While Lincoln's administration was generally supportive of tariffs to protect domestic industries, the impact on the Southern cotton economy was mixed and contributed to tensions leading to the Civil War. 

Specifically, the Morrill Tariff of 1861, (Justin S. Morrill, Republican Congressman and Senator from Vermont, was the person most responsible for both the tariff and internal revenue measures enacted during the American Civil War) passed shortly before Lincoln's inauguration, raised tariffs on imported goods. This move, while intended to boost the Northern economy and protect industries like textiles, had a detrimental effect on the Southern cotton industry. The South, which heavily relied on cotton exports, found its goods facing higher tariffs in international markets. 

Furthermore, the blockade implemented during the Civil War significantly disrupted Southern cotton exports, further crippling the industry. The South's reliance on foreign markets for manufactured goods and the higher tariffs imposed by the Union on imported goods further strained the Southern economy. 

In essence, while Lincoln's tariff policies were driven by a desire to support the Northern industrial base and the overall national economy, they had a particularly negative impact on the Southern cotton industry, exacerbating the economic disparities between the North and South and contributing to the tensions that led to the Civil War. 

With Lincoln’s tariffs America lost control of the cotton industry. Many a black man moved from slavery to starvation.

Slavery was forbidden in the country northwest of the Ohio River by what is called the ordinance of 1787. In 1820 the North endeavored to overturn this wise and successful policy and demanded that the State of Missouri should not be admitted into the Union unless she first prohibited slavery within her limits by her constitution. After a bitter and protracted struggle the North was defeated in her special object, but her policy and position led to the adoption of a section in the law for the admission of Missouri, prohibiting slavery in all that portion of the territory acquired from France lying North of 36 [degrees] 30 [minutes] north latitude and outside of Missouri. 

The "purchase of Liberia" refers to the acquisition of land in West Africa by the American Colonization Society (ACS) in 1821 to establish a colony for freed slaves and freeborn Black people from the United States. The ACS, a group of white elites, sought to create a new homeland where these individuals could find more freedom and opportunity than they did in the U.S. The initial purchase was of land at Cape Mesurado, which became the site of the first settlement, Monrovia. Liberia declared independence on July 26, 1847, which the U.S. did not recognize until February 5, 1862.   

Between 1820 and 1864, approximately 11,000 to 12,000 free Black people and those formerly enslaved emigrated to Liberia. This includes both free Black people and those who were granted freedom by the American Colonization Society (ACS) in exchange for their emigration to Liberia. The ACS, with support from the US Treasury, organized and funded this emigration, with the goal of establishing a colony in West Africa.

Lincoln provoked a needless war with the South by trying to force the South to give up their Rights to slave labor. He did not punish the Northern slave owners, many of which sent their African slaves to fight. Slavery would have ended peacefully when it was no longer profitable. The Civil War was never about human rights or compassion. It was all about which political party would control America.

 

The Civil War was a tragedy. Since the North owned slaves, the South fought to be left alone. The vast majority of the men who fought for the Confederacy were not slaveholders. The Confederate Flag represents Southern culture and heritage. It is not racist to defend your home. Understanding history doesn't mean you accept or agree but that you acknowledge there are two sides to the story. You don't re-write history to accommodate political correctness. Removing Confederate monuments does do not change history.

 

Before the Battle of Gettysburg, General Robert E. Lee ordered his soldiers to conduct themselves as gentlemen and Christians. For many free blacks and slaves, the harshest abuse actually came from the northern Yankee invaders. Remember Sherman’s Invasion.” Former slaves remember how the “malevolent” Yankee army raped black women, burned their homes and left them starving along side the white people. Union soldiers were known for even torturing faithful southern blacks. 

 

Over 600,000 white men gave their lives to free the black man. That's a historical fact that Democrats conveniently forget. It was Democrats that wanted slavery. It was Democrats that created the KKK. It was Democrats that demanded segregation. It was Democrats that stood in the doorway of schools. It was Democrats that denied Black Americans their civil rights. It was Democrats that demanded separate water fountains and restrooms for "white" and "colored." It was Democrats that denied Blacks access to restaurants and hotels. It was Democrats that moved the Black man from the cotton plantation to the government welfare plantation and destroyed Black families. With Democrats it has never been about human rights or compassion.  

It was during Reconstruction after the Civil War that a century-long era of racial hierarchy, lynching, white supremacy, and bigotry was established by Democrats—an era from which this nation still struggles. Most Americans know very little about the legacy of the Democrats.

In the 250 year history of America, she has made many mistakes, but she always tried to correct those mistakes, sometimes with remedies that only made things worse. Here we are in the year 2025. There is not a single white American alive today who ever owned slaves. There is not a single black American alive today who was a slave. Every Black American stays in America because of the freedom and benefits America affords. You do not see a mass migration to Africa.

If America needs to pay reparations to anyone, it's the American Indian. The US government made over 400 treaties with various Indian tribes and violated every one of them. Manifest Destiny was a 19th-century belief in the United States that the country was destined by God to expand its territory and spread its democratic and capitalist ideals across the entire North American continent. This ideology, while fueled by a sense of national pride and a desire for land, also led to the displacement and subjugation of Native Americans and the intensification of sectional tensions over slavery. 

How did "destined by God" play a part in America history? Americans used to study the Bible and they knew about God's Promise to Abraham. They believed they were doing God's will. Without the promises God made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel and their descendants, there would be no Christianity, and without Christianity there would be no Western Civilization, no America.

 

Every July 4th, America celebrates American culture which is a dynamic and diverse mix of customs, traditions, and values that reflect the nation's history, population, and geographic diversity. It's characterized by a strong emphasis on individualism, a belief in equality and opportunity, and a future-oriented outlook. Additionally, American culture is known for its love of privacy, respect for hard work, and a commitment to timeliness. Americans value individualism, equality, diversity, unity, liberty, and self-government within the framework of a Constitutional Republic.  

God-fearing Christians, and freedom-loving Americans must be involved in civic and political activities for the simple reason that if Christians disdain politics and avoid any and all political activity, then who does that leave to enter the halls of our city/town, our school board, county commission, etc., and control our life? 

 

The Founders of the United States of America knew enough about the Bible to design a National Flag that represents America's Christian heritage.  

 

Our Flag has 13 stripes of red and white that represent the shed blood of Jesus Christ and the purity of God's word. The stripes also represent the original 13 colonies and the 13 tribes of Israel (the tribe of Joseph was divided into the half tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh - total 13) with a blue field representing God's Divine Law, and stars that represent the 50 States, (50 being the number of Divine government) and the stars God promised Abraham. "In blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven. ~ Genesis 22:17. And we call her Old Glory!

Bootcamp Graduation February 1959

 

The United States Marine Corps also celebrates 250 years of service to America. I enlisted the Marine Corps in 1958 and served on active duty until 1962. From 1962 to 1964 I was on Ready Reserve. I swore an oath which I still stand by today. Once a Marine, always a Marine. The Marines do the difficult immediately, the impossible just takes a while longer.

 

(Note I capitalized three words to make a point)

Oath of Enlistment

I, Michael L. Farris, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, FOREIGN and DOMESTIC; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the PRESIDENT of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God. (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).

 

If our politicians would stand by their oath of office to support and defend the Constitution, America would be better off. 

 

The Oath of Office for U.S. public officers and employees is a solemn affirmation that they will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that they will bear true faith and allegiance to it; that they take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that they will well and faithfully discharge the duties of their office.
