WHY THE DEFEATISM?
Millions of patriots have fight in them as the country confronts the greatest threat to the Republic since the Civil War. Historic elections fraud, centered on the presidential contests, involving gross criminality make it so.
Whereas many patriots are ready to fight to restore the rule of law and our liberties, others express gloom and defeat. The fix is in, they claim. If Trump doesn’t secure a second term, then all is lost, they bemoan. The powerful cabal that Biden fronts will run the board over 48 months. A long, dark night will descend on America.
Here’s a modest proposal: Wars aren’t over until they’re fought.
THE LOST CITY OF DJADO
In the remotest center of the Sahara Desert lies an unknown, unexcavated mysterious lost city known as Djado. No one knows who built it or when. Lying on the ancient Roman trade route from the Saharan salt mines of Fachi and Bilma to the Mediterranean, the Djado oasis flourished for a thousand years (the 1st Millennium AD), but has been forgotten and abandoned for many centuries.
The only people who live near Djado in the vast desert wasteland where Algeria, Libya, Chad, and Niger come together, are the wandering Toubu nomads with no permanent settlements. It is an indescribable experience to explore such a wondrous lost city right out of an Indiana Jones movie that you have all to yourself. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #17, photo ©Jack Wheeler)
A PERFECT STORM SEEKS DESTRUCTION OF THE USA
BLM/Antifa Washington DC Nov 3, 2020
As 2021 dawns, the war on our culture moves into high gear.
The opportunistic intersection of the resistance to the Trump presidency, the rise of the monopolistic tech giants, the spurious panic over the psychologically weaponized Communist Chinese Virus and its concomitant loss of personal freedom, the neo-Marxist hijacking and worsening of race relations, and the legalistic undermining of U.S. laws and institutions have all evolved into a perfect storm of destruction that not only threatens the future of the United States, but actively seeks its destruction.
And they’re just getting started.
A GOP ELECTOR CHALLENGE ON JANUARY 6 COULD BE A CATASTROPHIC MISTAKE
In his December 23 video, Dr. Steve Turley summed up two possible roads to victory for President Trump in Congress on Jan. 6, starting with a congressional challenge to disputed Biden electors:
“First, you have to have an objection filed and endorsed by at least one US senator and one US representative. And once filed and endorsed, both chambers of Congress...have to have a debate – I believe it's stated to be a two-hour debate – over the merits and demerits of the objection, and then a simple majority is enough to overturn the electors.
Or second, you've got Vice President Mike Pence poised to make the final decision as to whether to certify the electors after the debate.”
Note this is an Either/Or. Do the first prevents the second. Here’s why.THE ISLANDS OF SERENITY
Mulafassur waterfall below the village of Gasadalur is only one example of the serenity of the Faroe Islands. They’re a self-governing Danish possession in the North Atlantic halfway between Norway and Iceland. You won’t find a place of more captivating serene and peaceful charm.
Warmed by the Gulf Stream, in the summer it’s so strewn with wildflowers the roads are known as “buttercup highways.” At every turn along them you’re stunned by the incredible scenery. The capital of Torshavn is so laid back the Prime Minister’s Office – the Løgmansskristovan – is a wood cabin with a green grass sod roof. Great beer from the Faroes’ two breweries is always flowing in the pubs, where the Faroese islanders welcome you like an old friend.
You can easily fly here from Edinburgh, London, Copenhagen, or Reykjavik, Iceland . A few days here will do wonders for your soul. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #18 photo ©Jack Wheeler)
THE UNKNOWN SERENGETI
The Serengeti Migration is world famous, when the great herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelles are strung out mile after mile migrating from Tanzania’s Serengeti to the Masai Mara of Kenya from May through July. The migration is circular, for starting in October, the herds return.
But return to where? And from where do the great herds start the cycle anew? The answer is the Short Grass Plains of the Serengeti’s far south. It is here where, from January through March, over a million wildebeest congregate en masse as you see in the photo above, not strung out over a hundred miles. For this is their Birthing Season when the herds are replenished with new life.
THE UNSPEAKABLY DUPLICITOUS COWARDICE OF THE REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS
Majority Leader Turtle – Chief Coward of the Senate
While there are a few exceptions who need to be celebrated — Ted Cruz, Ron Johnson, Matt Gaetz, and Jim Jordan, to name the most prominent of the heroes — the rest of the Republicans in Congress are abject cowards.
So anxious to go along to get along with the establishment they were oh, so comfortable with, they have been and are willing to betray their constituents to regain their access to power and money. Forget representing the people; they represent themselves.
President Trump is the best man for the party to come along since Reagan, and they are nearly all ready to throw him under the bus. It is disgusting. No conservative should ever again donate a dime to any of the traitors who claim to hold conservative values.
WHERE DID THE DEMOCRATS’ MARXIST MADNESS COME FROM?
Bouts of extreme Leftism are frequent in history. Plato’s Apology, Edmund Burke’s Reflections on the Revolution in France, and Vladimir Lenin’s What Is to Be Done? — all offer us insight into the mind and methods of the hard Left.
America has experienced surges of mainstream anarchism, socialism, and communism, most profoundly during the late 19th century, amid the Great Depression, during the Soviet-American alliance of World War II and afterward, and in the 1960s.
But rarely have these radical movements openly and without apologies made such inroads into and inside government and the establishment as during the past decade
Where and how did radical ideas such as the non-enforcement of laws, the Green New Deal, open borders, the -studies curricula of the university, or the political weaponization of professional sports come from?
THIS IS NOT THE SPEECH OF A MAN WHO WILL BETRAY US ON JANUARY 6
Last Wednesday December 23), Vice-President Mike Pence spoke to the Turning Point USA conference in Palm Beach. On Wednesday January 6, as President of the Senate, the presiding officer of the Joint Session of Congress with plenary authority to count the electoral votes determining the victor in the November 3 presidential election, he will choose to count the legal votes only or not.
If the former, the victor will be President Trump. If the latter, the presidency will be stolen from him. Watching this speech will give you hope for the former:
INSIDE GIBRALTAR
We’re all familiar with the famed Rock of Gibraltar, huge and imposing from the outside – but inside the Rock itself is the enormous St. Michael’s Cave with fantastical formations colorfully illuminated. For millions of years, rainwater created fissures in the Rock’s limestone widening into huge caves with the steady drip of mineralized water creating massive stalactites hanging from cave ceilings and stalagmites rising up from cave floors. A phantasmagorical experience.
Gibraltar has been a British territory since 1713 when Spain ceded it in the Treaty of Utrecht. Thus also high up inside the Rock are the Great Siege Tunnels the British dug then lined with cannon emplacements to defeat Spain’s attempt to seize Gibraltar in the 1780s. Walking through the tunnels, you peer below looking down where the Spaniards and their French allies were vainly dug in – and where there is now an airplane runway stretching across the isthmus.
That’s just a glimpse of what to discover visiting Gibraltar, as there’s so much more! (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #12, photo ©Jack Wheeler)
