maga – Becoming American

Darkest Before the Dawn

Storm clouds gather over Washington DC. The democrats did not win anything by temporarily ending the shut down. In little over two weeks it will happen again. As the saying goes; you don’t negotiate with terrorists. The democrats are not interested in compromise, they are only interested in power. They have no concern for the American people.

President Trump is playing a high stakes game of winner take all. The border wall is a very big issue. It is the difference between law and order and lawlessness.

The deep state is now showing its teeth for the world to see with the arrest of Roger Stone. Who’s only crime is accidentally ‘lying’ to the FBI. Which essentially anyone can do if asked over and over again multiple questions. Eventually you’ll remember something you forgot previously. Then they pounce on you ‘aha! you lied to us!’ This is not a real crime. There is definitely no ‘collusion.’ What is happening at the top of the FBI is criminal. There was no need for a huge show of force to arrest an unarmed 66 year old man early in the morning. The whole thing with the CNN tip off stinks to high heaven. And lets not get started with the Hillary Clinton Email server fiasco with all the drives being smashed and deleted. The FBI is rotten at the top and its gestapo like tactics on Friday should shock everyone.

The medias bias is now no longer hyperbole. It really is fake news. We’ve seen this with the Covington Kid. All the MSM networks ran with the story of the kids harassing a native american, when in actual fact it was the opposite way around. The good news with all of this is that the answer to all of the corruption and bias is with the response from Nick Sandmann’s parents. They’ve hired a top lawyer to go after the MSM networks and individuals who have made threats against him. That is the only way to solve this problem. We must fight fire with fire. It is not OK for celebrities and news networks to threaten the lives of children.

With Roger Stone what we will likely see is a Jonah and the Whale scenario. Stone is innocent and he is smart. The fish may have swallowed him up, but it will end up spitting him out. Paul Manafort may have had a shady past, but Stone evidently plays by the rules. After two years of non stop investigation, the only ‘crimes’ on him are ‘process crimes’ of accidentally forgetting to mention something in previous interviews.

If you want to play your part in protecting the republic, I suggest you make your voice heard. Call your representative, support go fund me efforts, get out and protest, comment intellectually on social media. Teach your children. Show people who are on the fence the right way. Be a good person, play your part.

No republic is lost when enough people stand up to tyranny. In this information age, the truth can catch up quickly to the lies and the smears. Keep the faith and keep going. It’s always darkest before the dawn.

The First Step in Saving America

Saving America from socialism starts at home. When you board a plane the safety demonstration always tells you to put your own oxygen mask on first before helping others.

Stop trying to change the world. That doesn’t work. Start by changing yourself. Think about what you are doing, what are your contributions? What classes are you taking? What meetings are you attending? Which amendments are you practicing? Who are you teaching?

We lead by example and by taking our own steps we show others the way. A lot of people exclaim “we need to do something!” What they’re really saying is “you need to do something!” Otherwise they would already be doing it.

Politics is very divisive, particularly in this current environment. It would be very easy to fall down a rabbit hole of negativity and bashing those with opposing views. I think it is better to express our opinions openly and take the time to research what we are talking about. The more informed we are, the better we can give calm measured responses to those who question us.

You’re never going to get through to a person who is hardcore into their political position, but by being calm and logically stating your case, you might get through to a couple of people listening to your argument.

The better educated we each are, the better off our families, communities and country will be. The first step in saving America is by saving and improving yourself.

Take Action

The world belongs to those who take action.

I remember two months ago sitting in a hotel room overlooking Niagara Falls. The democrats had just won back the house. I felt sick to my stomach. The raving loony party was back in charge of policy making. I realized then that I needed to take action. Just because President Trump is sitting in the oval office, it doesn’t mean we should sit back. He needs our support if he is able to continue with the MAGA agenda.

Thinking of the house I remembered that it was won back by the republicans in 2010 with the tea party movement which started shortly after Barack Obama was elected. I realized then that I hadn’t been to a tea party since before President Trump was elected. I think it’s time I showed back up again.

There are Tea Party groups all over the country. There’s probably one close to you that you’ve never even heard about. Most of them are quite small, but are filled with like-minded people who wish to preserve and defend the constitution of the United States.

When I returned home from my trip out east in November I stared at my Oath of Allegiance and my naturalization certificate. I began to think of my son and the kind of country he’s growing up in. Things are good right now, but if the democrats gain real power (ie the Senate or the Presidency) then we’re heading for real trouble. Barack Obama was an awful president and the economy sucked during his tenure, but I fear it will be worse under another democrat as they are heading decidedly ever further to the authoritarian left. We see it with big tech, we see it with censorship and shadow bans and we see it with the lunatic bias of the mainstream media. Something must be done.

We are the ones to do it.

When I became a citizen I started this blog. It was called abundant truth and it began very innocently with me expressing my opinions on the constitution, this country and current events. After a year or so my posts began to fade and I got busy with life. I began to vote and I felt like I did my bit and eventually president Trump was elected. But now with a resurgence from the democrat party, we must as President Trump once put it “fight fire with fire.”

So how can you do your part? Simple. Take a course on the constitution, find your local tea party and attend an event. Start a blog post. Talk to your like-minded friends and family. Teach your children! The journey of a thousand miles as the say, starts with a single step.

I have taken this old blog, renamed it and will start pumping out new content. I hope you find it useful.

It is up to us, each and every one of us, to do our part. I hope that my content inspires you to do yours and together we will continue to Make America Great Again.

Be the change you want to see in the world

Since Donald Trump became President a lot of conservatives seem to believe that he has a magic wand, that he is all-seeing and all-powerful. Lately, with tech censorship and shadow banning of conservatives I hear a lot of people say things like “why doesn’t President Trump do something about it?”

My thoughts are that he is already doing things about it. His defiant tweets spit in the face of those who wish to silence him, while more importantly at the same time he is doing everything in his power to install new constitutional judges across the board.

The problem with executive orders is that they can be undone. It is my belief that President Trump is doing everything in his power to create a lasting legacy where the new judges will be more restrained and rule in favor of the constitution instead of their own warped liberal activism.

President Trump can only do as much as he can with the cards handed to him and he is surrounded by sharks in the name of the media, the left, the rinos and the deep state.

So the question then is not “why doesn’t President Trump do something?” but instead “why don’t I do something?”

President Trump was critical of the presidency and of government long before he ever decided to run. The fight to begin removing ‘rinos’ started years before he ran for President.

The same people who attended the first Tea Party rallies when Barack Obama became President are the ones who are now township trustees and members of the house and senate. It takes years of grass-roots activism and tossing your hat in the ring where necessary. It also takes a new generation of leaders and patriots.

It has occurred to me that the youth in this county are not taught enough about the constitution and its importance. When I pledged my oath of allegiance I had to swear to it, to uphold and protect it. Now that I have a child of my own, I realize how important it is to protect the founders vision of the country for generations to come.

My generation gets a lot of flak for being too lazy or too unmotivated. Maybe that is the case with some of them, but not all. I think that it is far more important to shine a light on the goodness in this country and to learn its history than point the blame on this generation or argue amongst ourselves.

The task therefore, to those who are reading this is to educate yourselves and take action. May I first suggest taking a course on the constitution. It is highly informative and a great place to start. If you’re thinking about going to a tea party rally or a township meeting; do it! Start participating, go to a protest, write to your member of congress, call your senator’s office. The mainstream media may be corrupt, and the tech giants may think they can silence us, but local and persistent action will outrun them. After all, the founders managed to overcome much more with much less.

Going Forward

If I were to die tomorrow, I would want my son to have as many tools as possible to become everything he wanted to be in life. As it stands today, America holds the greatest possibilities in the world for anyone to achieve and yet many do not recognize or understand that.

I believe it is important for the youth of America to learn and recognize just how special, important and great this country really is.

I think that the best thing I can do for my son going forward and for the youth of America going forward is to provide lessons that I have learned along with some great resources for further reading.

Going forward this site will provide links to informative and think-out-of-the-box sites along with commentary from me on my thoughts and insights.

This is my journey of becoming an American citizen. I hope that you enjoy the new content going forward.
