I know there are people out there who believe there is no way out of the mess we’re in, as a nation. That’s their story and they’re sticking to it, no matter what.

So the border standoff between the feds and the states looks, to them, like another con, another piece of The Plan to cause more chaos. To chew the country to pieces.

They’d bet the farm that the border crisis will never be solved. The flood of illegal migrants will never end.

For these “smartest guys in the room,” whenever the whisper of any positive hope arises—they immediately jump on it and crush it.

I’m not one of those people. I want to exploit any situation that offers a glint of light. I want to introduce and insert more than a glint. I want to find a way to wake people up to actual possibilities. Facts the Historians L... John S. Tilley Best Price: $5.00 Buy New $4.87 (as of 07:05 UTC - Details)

I don’t care how long the odds are against us.

If this hadn’t been my approach all these years, I would have quit writing a long time ago. And I would be dead.

I don’t care if the current standoff is basically a play by Trump advisors for votes in 2024.

There ARE Constitutional issues involved. I just posted a piece about that. An INVASION of America (e.g., the flood of immigrants) does require the federal government to protect the states; and the states have a right to defend themselves.

Are we supposed to shut our eyes and minds to that? Are we supposed to say it makes no difference—we should all lie down and let the invasion continue?

I keep republishing the catastrophic numbers on the amount of fentanyl that has been brought up through the border and the potential death count from the drug. I know that if readers spread that report far and wide, it can catch on—and then people will see a great deal more about the invasion than they do now. All sorts of people will see.

If someone believes “nothing can be done” and then assists and aids that belief BY DOING NOTHING, he contributes a bit toward making his belief come true. Quick and Simple Chair... Fitzgerald, Audrey Best Price: $6.49 Buy New $9.22 (as of 07:47 UTC - Details)

He’s making a perverse bet. One that has no chance of a positive payoff.

I don’t make those bets. I would never write articles that defend those bets. It would be a total waste of time. I would be making a decidedly bad contribution.

I KNOW the fix is in, many times, in many instances. But there is no eternal fix that lasts forever. I guarantee that.

If you want proof, read history. There have been many times when people have been in thrall, in a condition of solid slavery, with no hope on the horizon—and through a chain of events, they’ve fought their way out of slavery—and freedom has advanced. Although it seemed impossible.

If you don’t think we’re better off now than serfs were in the medieval period, you need a new brain.
