Reflections of An Uncommon Common Man

 This question has been pondered by historians for years. What if the South had won the Civil War? This is convenient for leftist historians. They can pit North against South when it was actually a war between the Democrat party and Republican party. It was a war that is still going on today and when it comes to how history is interpreted the Republican's are losing badly. The Republican's won on the battlefield but lost the peace. The peace was the Reconstruction period after the Civil War. Usually the victor of a war writes the accepted version of history. The Democrat party, however: is responsible for two of the biggest myths of American history that is widely accepted as the truth by both left and right. The "Lost Cause Myth" and The Big Switch Myth".  These two lies allow the left to cover up for a multitude of sins and to project their sins upon the modern day Republican party and Constitutional conservatives. The " Lost Cause Myth" was perpetuat...

In my 75 years I have seen a lot of important people come and go. I remember the assassination of John Kennedy and the crazy four days that we were all glued to the television set. Television stations went off the air around 11:00 PM at night back then but Friday, Saturday and Sunday up until the funeral on Monday there was 24 hour news coverage. Malcolm X died in a hail of gunfire two years later in 1965.  Then there was that crazy year of 1968 when both Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy were assassinated. George Wallace survived an assassination atempt in 1972 that left him a paraplegic. President Ford survived two assassination attempts within a month of each other in 1975. John Lennon was murdered in December 1980. Ronald Reagan was nearly killed in 1981. Then there was the near assassination of President Trump in July 2024 and the assassination of Charlie Kirk in 2025.  In all of these situations with the exception of maybe President Ford or John Lennon, I either hear...

Jasmine Crockett opened her Texas Senate campaign yesterday in what some Conservatives are calling an odd way. In my view it would be a toss-up between who is the dumbest, AOC or Crockett. Having said that I think the announcement ad for her Senate campaign was brilliant. I don't know who is handling her campaign but I think the ad has the potential to be very effective. In the ad she doesn't say anything. She is just sitting there in her best hair and makeup while Trump's voice is playing in the background. Trump is pretty much belittling her intelligence and character in the harshest terms. I agree with what Trump is saying. In my view she is an attractive woman but she is a moron and not up to being a dog catcher much less a U.S. Senator. Trump's tone, however; does not play well with many women. I have noticed this with conservitive women like my wife and others. They know at election time that Trump, or the Republican on the ballot is their only logical choice to v...

 A group called The Legal Clarity Team explains the Posse Comitatus Act this way. The Posse Comitatus Act, codified as18 U.S.C. 1385 is a federal law that limits the use of the U.S. military in civilian law enforcement. Enacted in 1878, it was designed to prevent military involvement in domestic affairs without explicit authorization from Congress or the Constitution. The statute states that anyone who “willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws” is in violation. While it does not explicitly mention the Navy or Marine Corps, Department of Defense regulations extend similar restrictions on these branches, ensuring the prohibition applies broadly. Several legal exceptions allow military involvement in domestic law enforcement. The most notable is the Insurrection Act, which grants the president authority to deploy federal troops to suppress insurrections, domestic violence, or unlawful obstructions of federal law when lo...

 There is a scene in the movie Lone Survivor where a Navy SEAL team runs into a group of Afghan goat herders. The SEAL team tries to avoid detection but are discovered. The goat herders are captured and the SEAL team is faced with a moral dilemma. This movie is based on the real life Operation Red Wings in Afghanistan. It's goal was to disrupt the operations of Taliban militias in the area. It took place in the Summer of 2005. Upon capturing these Afghan locals the four SEAL team members begin arguing over what to do with them. Since they are isolated and so close to the enemy they basically had three options. Kill them, tie them up and gag them or let them go. They know that if they let them go it will only be a matter of time before they are confronted with overwhelming odds but they they decide  that choosing this option would keep them out of trouble with the political left and the mainstream media. They let them go and predictably the goat herders ran back to their villag...

 President Trump has encouraged the Republican Senate to end the filibuster. After much thought I agree with him. For years I was strongly opposed to ending the filibuster because if the Democrats ever regain control over the executive and both legislative branches America will be finished. They will vote to end the filibuster and simple majority votes will transform this country into a Communist hell hole. The Supreme Court will be packed with Communists, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico will become states. The electoral college will be abolished. Their political enemies will be jailed and murdered. That includes average American patriots who resist. Believe them when they tell you that they want us dead. This is not hyperbole. We are one election away from tyranny and believe me that they will definitely end the filibuster if they regain power.  Trump makes a good point about the filibuster. We have a golden opportunity here. If Republicans can muster the backbone they have a...
